The Merchants Bank of Burlington
has taken up the Liberty Loan bonds
to the amount Of $45,500. The Howard
Bank and Burlington Trust Co. have
also received subscriptions but the
savings banks in Burlington have not
done much along this line as yet.
Nearly all Of the subscribers have ap-
piled for amounts Of 81 900 and more
and there has been practically nothing
done along the popular subscription
line. This is due to the fact that the
details have only been made public in
the past day or SO and large num-
Der of the popular subscriptions are
expected TO follow this. At the saw
ings banks a large number of inquir-
les have been made, showing there is
considerable interest being manifest
ed, but as the banks until this time
have been unable to give the informa-
ton, nothing further was done.

Conditions in Bennington in regard
to school matters are somewhat I'M
settled. p. S. Emerson, the instructor
in manual training, has been released
at his request so that he may work in
a munition plant. AT least one half Of
the pupils in the department had al
ready left to work upon farms, so the
department was closed The teachers
in the schools have asked for a Is per
cent raise in salaries and this would
require an increase Of eight cents on a
dollar in taxes. Fuel, books, and all
school supplies have increased greatly
in price and the janitors' salaries have
also been raised. Next year $4,000 of
debt is due and this with interest and
insurance makes a problem for the
school trustees and taxpayers to solve.

LOAN SUCCESS VITAL,
IS NJ ADOO'S BELIEF
Says Strong Support Will Insure
Prosperity of Future.


THE success of the liberty loan is vital
to the future business and industrial
success OF the nation" declared Secre-
tary OF the Treasury McAdoo yesterday.
''Unless the loan Is heavily oversubscrib-
ed and the subscriptions are widely dis
tributed, the business OF the country will
suffer in consequence and to just that de-
gree in which the people fail to support
the loan"
Secretary McAdoo declared that the
government is bending all energies to
have the loan heavily oversubscribed
and expressed the belief that when the
allotments are made there must be con-
siderable scaling down. providing the
people generally continue to give the
unstinted support they have shown to
date
Predicts Beneficial Reaction.
The reaction upon the business of the
country in the event that the loan Is a
big success cannot be underestimated'
declared Mr.. McAdoo. "Since the money
practically will be all spent in this coun-
try in the purchase of foodstufrs. muni-
tions and clothing, the bigger the re-
sponse to the nations plea for support
the bigger will be the consequent return
in contracts and profits The industrial
and business life of the future rests
with the people, and II they all cooperate
and support the government, that future
Is assured"
As showing the general sentiment with
regard to the liberty loan, Secretary Nc
Adoo quoted two kilograms he received
today, one from the Endicott-Johnson
Company, OF Binghamton. n. Y, stating
that so per cent of the 1900 workers en-
ployed there have bought one or more
liberty bonds, and the other from Thomas
A. Edison, telling OF $4,000 subscribed
by the workers in the Edison plants.

Wilson Oldest President
U.S.. Has Had in 60 Years

Washington, Jan. 16.-President Will
son is the oldest executive to preside
over the destinies of the United States
for the last so years. When he is in
augurated for the second time March
S he will be 60 years old, a span Of
years that no president has crossed
since the Inauguration of Buchanan in
1857.
Incidentally the president is one Of
the six oldest executives ever in the
White House. Previous to 1861 the
men chosen to hold the reins of gov
eminent generally reached a late per-
iod in life before their election. John
Adams was 81 when inaugurated in
1897, Jackson also was 81 when first
inaugurated in 1929. Benjamin Harri-
son was the oldest man ever chosen
for the presidency, being 60 at the
time of his Inauguration in 1841. Tay-
lor was 81 and Buchanan S., respect
lively, when they were inaugurated re-
|spectively.
Aside from these all presidents have
been younger than Woodrow Wilson
when entering the White House. This
has been particularly noticeable in the
last SO years, when all executives have
been comparatively young. Theodore

with the idea that he will further the
cause Of friendship between Japan and
Russia and strengthen the alliance re-
Gently concluded between the two erst-
while enemies, Viscount Yasuya och
ida, ambassador to the United States
in l909-11, has been appointed as the
new Japanese envoy to Russia. .,
Viscount Uchida fills the post made
vacant wien Viscount Motono was re.
called to accept the position OF foreign
minister in the new Terauchi ministry.
Besides his term in Washington, he
has acted as ambassador to Vienna,
minister to China and was foreign min.
lister in 1911. He is considered one of
the most able diplomats in Japan.
Politicians in Toxic take the con-
clusion of the Russo-Japanese pact last
spring as the beginning Of a long
term of friendly political and CONNER
cial relations between the two codn-
tries. But it is generally believed that
only a beginning has been made. There
is generally accepted beliefthat Rus
STA requested Japan to wait until the
close of the war for signature of add1-
tiOnal causes of the new convention.
Viscount Montono is given the Gre
dit for laying the foundation of the al
lance with Russia. His service as
foreign minister is expected to be
marked with pro-Russian tendencies.
Upon Viscount Uchida, however, is
placed the responsibility Of promoting
relations in Petrograd, so that after
the war, as we'll as the present, the
two nations will be best aligned for
the interests of the Far East.
