If New Government viii Maintain
Public Order.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Germany
has again appealed to the United
State for food, this time through the
Swiss Government, which represents
German interests in this country.
By direction of President Wilson, as
surance have been given by Secre-
tary Lansing that the matter will be
taken UP with the allied nations and
that the United States is willing TO
help. Public order must be main
tanned in Germany, however, to as.
sure an equitable distribution of the
food contributed. This condition was
suggested by the German Govern,
ment and accepted by President VII
soE.
No doubt exists here that the food
situation in Germany and other coun
tries of the Central Empires is serious
An appeal for food was received by
the State Department from the au
thorities in German Austria, and an
other came from the Government OF
the German State Of Bavaria.
The whole subject was considered
this afternoon by President Wilson
and his so-called War Cabinet, con
sisting OF Bernard NJ Baruch, Chair
man of the War Industries Board, and
the heads Of various other war work
administrations. II was decided thai
Herbert Hoover, the Federal Food
Administrator who was present a
the War Cabinets session, should take
up the question Of giving relief TO the
Central Empires during the visit he
is TO make to Europe shortly
One factor favorable to Germany il
that that country's harvest is in ant
ready for use. II has been planned
by the German Government to make
this harvest last year, but 1t is prob
able that it win be suggested TO Ger
many that these food supplies may bl
used up In from four 10 six months
and that the Allies will furnish foo,
for the rest Of the year.

OTHER TOWNS OVER TOP
6rattleboro, Barre, ST. Adams, Mont

Their ouota-Threc Gifts.

The United War Work campaign in
Vermont is gaining headway and
State Chairman Earle S. Kinsley Of
Rutland said last night that he felt
sure that the state will take its quota
of $472,O0O.
Rutland has already subscribed
$4,000 of its quota of $1,000, Bur
lington is up to s6l,OO0 with a quota
of 100000 Montpelier and Barre are
over the top with $4,000 and $4,000
respectively
Brattleboro has taken s27 900 and
Springfield $4,000. st. Adams has
exceeded it's quota by over a thous-
and dollars
Bennington and Addison counties
are behind and should brace up. The
town of Bennington UP to last night
had subscribed only a little over $4,000
while the town quota is $4,000 1t
will be strange if Bennington cannot
do as well as Brattleboro and Mont
peher neither which have the wealth
or number of people of Bennington
OF the $4,000 SO far subscribed in
Bennington over $4,000 is from North
Bennington which is living up to its
reputation of doing better than any
other part of the town. Manchester
has $1,000 OF its quota Of $4,000
Among the generous subscriptions
so far received in Bennington are the
following:
Guy B. Johnson $4,000
Mr. and Mrs. F. b. Jennings 1909
Mr. and Mrs A. j. Holden 1000
Bennington cannot make its quota
unless people who are well TO 90 sub
scribe generously Five and ten dol.
lar subscriptions from persons who
ought TO give from SIS TO $500 are
disheartening to the canvassers who
are giving their time and effort to
this patriotic service.
The honor and good name OF the
town should induce a generous re.
sponse To this lsrst great cali whicheis
the thanksgiving offering Of victory
On the smaller subscriptions among

canvasers are doing very well in
most cases. They meet with very few
diseourtions rebuffs and of these they
arc keeping list which viii be pre-

The general committee OF the town
of Bennington urges the people of the
town to come forward and make
Bennington's record as good in this
campaign as in those which have pre-
ceded it, Any one who finds that he
