PEACE LEAGUE
Vermont Campaign for League
to Enforce Peace-Its Officers
and Platform.

The Vermont Branch of theLeague
to Enforce Peace, under the leader
ship of Judge Henry c. Ide of St.
Johnsbury, a newly elected member
of the Executive Committee of the
American Branch of the League, has
now organized its Executive Com
mittee which met in Montpelier re-
Gently. The Executive Committee
consists of DR.. Guy Potter Benton,
chairman, President University of
Vermont, Burlington; Hon. Charles
W. Gates, Montpelier; Hon. John
Abner Mead, Rutland; James B.
Estee, Montpelier;J Joseph Fairbanks,
St. Johnsbury; Hon. Horace F. Gra-
ham, Montpelier; Hon. James Hart
ness, Springfield. Ex-Officio, Judge
Henry c., Ide, president, st. Johns
bury; Ralph E. Flanders, secretary
treasurer, Springfield.
The primary object of the League
to Enforce Peace is to make war less
probable by the establishment of an
International Court or some other
suitable body which will have the
backing of all nations, with force or
economic pressure, if necessary.
1t is understood that the United
States could not take part in such a
League without the consent of the
American people. At the present
time, there are State Branches in "A
of the 48 states of the union. The
Vermont Committee is organized on
the same plan as Committees in
these other states.
Mr.. John c. Burg, District Secre-
tary for New England, was present
at the Montpelier meeting, which
was most interesting and enthusias-
tic one, and suggested to the Ver-
mont Committee a program for an
educational campaign to be conduct
ed throughout the state during the
next few months, to make known
the objects of the League to Enforce
Peace to the people of Vermont.
Mr.. Burg stated the Leagues
platform briefly, as follows:
A League of Nations with
l A World Court.
2 A Council of Cancellation.
8 A Boycott and an International
Military Force against an Aggressor
who Refuses to Arbitrate.
A World Conferences to Develop In
ternational Law.
1t is expected to hold meetings in
many of the larger centers in Yer
mont, the first probably to be held
in Montpelier March 8, when Hon
orable William Howard Taft, Presi,
dent of the American Branch of the
League to Enforce Peace will be the
chief speaker.
Mr.. Roderic M. Olzendam was sci.
ected as Executive Secretary tc
carry out the program as outlined
by the Executive Committee. Mr.
Olzendam's Office will be in Burling

Old Odd Fellows Hall.

To the Editor of The Star:
see that old Odd Fellows Hall. on
7th street. is to be torn down and
seven-story building is to be erected in
its place. 1 was born not far from
that building and when a boy attended
many performances that were held
there. The building was COMPLETED in
1916, and the hall was opened with a
ball on Friday. April 16. 1916. other
places where entertainments of all
kinds were held were Apollo Hall. Caru-
sis Saloon. Iron Hall. the Odeon. Jack
son Hall and Pennsylvania Hall. The
first performance took place at ODD
Fellows Hall on the night Of May Is.
This was a concert by the Harmonious,
a club composed of Washingtonians.
The members were ]. F. Hodgson, J.
W. Abby, Richard Tonge. r. ]. Handy
and Robert Ball. They also appeared
under the name of the Euterpeans:
Wyman, the magician; Signor Blitz and
his performing canary birds; Tom
Thumb. Nightingale Ethiopian Sere-
naders, Dumbolton .Minstrels and other
minstrel troupes, panoramas, dioramas
and various other entertainments were
held at Odd Fellows Hall. In those
days there were no reserved seats. The
halls were filled with benches and the
custom was. first come first served. The
usual price of admission was 25 cents
I have often mentioned an incident
that happened at Odd Fellows Hall
about sixty years ago. 1 attended a
performance one evening. and when
got up to leave at the end Of the per-
Torrance I saw a pocketbook on the
bench. I picked it up and found it
contained note for 500 and $3.50 in
cash. the $3.50 being a gold piece. I
took considerable pains to find the
owner. After visiting several persons
I discovered that it belonged to a
preacher. I went to his house and
asked him If he had lost it. He said
that he had done SO. That he did not
mind losing the money. but he did not
want to lose the note. He took the
money. however, and handed me the
gold piece. A. l. MUDD.

ADEQUATE Pay for the Soldiers.

To the Editor of The Star:
Might not voluntary enlistment in the
military forces of the United States be
stimulated, and perhaps to an extent
that would render conscription unnec-
essary. by the very simple expedient of
raising the soldiers pay?
Men who are by no means lacking in
patriotism hesitate to enter the army and
leave their families without adequate
support Already we have charitable pro-
posals to contribute to such support
But why should this be required? Why
not nay the soldier enough so that he
himself would be able to care for his
family?
In defense of their country men willingly
expose themselves to suffering and to
death. Why should not the country
generously recognize this service by pay
ing them enough SO that they would not
20 to war saddened by the needs of
those they must leave behind?
Now is fitting time for us to put into
practice the noble sentiments entertained
for those who are ready to die in defense
of the flag. -
