S|EGMUNO BLOCH RELEASED
German Tailor Of 81. A1bans Admitted
TO Parole In Bonds Of S2.OOO-COn-
ditiOnal on Good Behavior.

st. Adams. Dec. 26.--Siegmund Bloch,
a tailor, who was arrested November 20 on
the charge of being an enemy alien and
making threats against the United States
government, has been admitted to parole
and given his liberty after furnishing
bonds Of $1,000 II. w. Ballard became his
bondsman.
Application was made to United States
Attorney General Gregory at Washington
for permission to have Bloch placed on
parole. The department at Washington
referred the matter to District Attorney
" A. Billiard of Burlington. who held
hearing at the Office of G. G.. Austin &c
Sons. The parole is subject to revocation
at any moment that may be seen At.
In all probability. IL Bloch gives no
further trouble, he will not be intcrned II
he had not been paroled he would have
had to be informed or deported.
Since Bloch was placed in custody it
has been known that efforts to secure his
release were In progress. A sister of Mrs
Bloch. with her husband, Mr.. and Mrs
Simon. came here from Paterson, N. j.,
few weeks ago and the brother in law
who is reputed to be a man of some
financial standing. interested himself in the
matter. Mr.. Simon is an American citizen
and Civil War veteran.
Bloch is a native of Germany and is not
naturalized. although some time ago he
took out his first papers.
1t was on the strength of four affidavits
sent to the department at Washington by
c. G. Austin & Sons that Bloch's release
was secured. These affidavits, signed by
f. Irving butcher. druggist: H. w.
Ballard. who runs a garage; DR.. g. C..
Berkeley, a local physician, and John M.
Woods. who owns bakers shop. set forth
that In the opinion of the sgners Bloch
was deserving of his liberty and that he
| would not constitute menace to the
public peace. All live or have their places
Of business in the vicinity of Bloch's shop.
Mr.. Austin states that only one person re-
fused to sign an affidavit.
Bloch furnished supervisor in the per-
son Of II. w. Ballard. to whom he must
make a personal report every 10 days. He
must also report once n month to Deputy
United States Marshal Thomas Reeves in
Burlington and must furnish three pic-
| lures of himself to the authorities. II ia
said that some time ago Bloch did not
make out an application for an enemy
alien permit because he considered fur.

questions too much red tape"

will send immediate notice to him of any
violation by Bloch of the provisions of his
parole. The step taken in the case was
not on Mr.. Billiards. recommendation. Mr..
Bullard states that although the affida Wits
secured were undoubtedly influential there

be obtained much more easily

PRES. BENTON'S WORK.
Partisan Insurance Man Says IL IL oil
n Most Helpful Kind.

The Free Press is permitted to print
portions of letter recently received
by President Darwin p. Kingsley OF the
New York Life Insurance company from
the head of the Paris office OF that COM
pany. describing the work which Presi-
dent Guy Potter Benton of the Univer-
sity of Vermont is doing in France.
"As you know, he is in charge OF the
Y. NJ. C. A. work in this city and 1t was
a bigger proposition than he had any
idea of handling when he came over
here. He really had to start with moth

would handle our soldier boys in Paris.
That meant an organization Of men who
would meet these boys al the trains. see
that they were lodged in respectable
hotels, entertained while here In such
a way that they would be kept from the
evils Of Paris and sent back to the army
just as clean as they arrived. He has
been obliged to find his own course, orig
mate his own plans, do his work without
as large number of men as he needed
get concessions from the officials OF the
city Of Paris and learn to do business
with the French people in their own way
In my opinion he has done wonderfully
well.
Last week he was asked to leave
Paris in order to start "a canteen at some
where in France and have it ready fol
an army of Americans which were Just
about to land. That takes him away
from Paris during the month and he hopei
/ to come back and take up his work hert
about the LIST of January. He was selected

available and his assistants could handle

HE January
Clearance Sales

NIEN/ NHCE aus
These sales hold greater significance
are more important-than ever before.
Costs of many things have undeniably
increased and with the unheard of read
justments and changes necessarily being
made in the economic management of in
dustries, further increases may be looked
for no doubt.
It is indeed fact, that much of the
merchandise we will sell in these January
Sales will cost us more to duplicate in few
months from now than the sale prices at
which the various lines are at present Of
fered
It therefore obvious that you are saw
ing even more than the amounts represent
ed by the present price reductions and spe-
cial prices, remarkable as many of them
are.
Keep your eyes on our January Clear
ance sale advertisements.
Watch for the extraordinary offerings
Of Table Linens, Cottons, Towels, Sheets
and Pillow Cases, one of the most i'm
pOrtant features OF our semi-annual clear
ance sales and more so this year because it
will give housekeepers an opportunity to
supply their needs for several months to
come at much lower prices than the same
merchandise will sell for any time during
the year 1918.
Then the clearance sales of Suits,
Coats, Blouses, Dresses, and Millinery will
offer just the garments wanted by our GUS
TONER'S who are always eager to purchase
If the money savings are worth while.
The clearance sales of Muslin Under
wear, Knit Underwear, Hosiery and Gloves
will be full of interest and special econ
omies
There will be more than eight hundred
pairs of perfectly new and high grade Cor
sets offered at prices fully 1-3 less than the
prevailing prices and perhaps half less
than what these same corsets will cost in
the spring.
And this applies also to hundreds of
other articles that will be on sale. Many of
them you will find advertised in our special
two page clearance sale advertisement that
will appear in this paper in day or two
