capacity rests the full control of the
policies and activities of the commit
tee.
Organizations are requested to APP
point delegations whether or not the
appointing body has formally approx
ed the Patrol Committee movement
with full power to participate in the
meeting and to report the proceed
ings afterwards for ratification by
their organizations.
The object of the Patrol Committee
is announced to be the placing OF
Vermont III line with the worldwide
after-the-war reconstruction. Its
concrete propositions are better high
ways, improved school facilities, inn
proved taxation system, a better sys-
tenn of state audits, and an investiga-
ton into the possible return of Yer
mont to its olden prominence as q
Sheep-raising state.
Those purposes the committee will
seek to secure by means of bills plac.
ed before the incoming State Legis.
lature, the bills to be drawn in accord,
ance with the action and desires OF
the meeting on December II. In fact
the whole policy of the committee viii
be in the hands of the St. Johnsbury

 NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Agents of the department of justice. it was learned tonight have obtained four tons of paper deposited in a ware house by Dr. Karl A. Feuhr, former head of the German information serv- ice in this city. Some of the material, 1t is said. will be introduced when the senate committee next month resumed its exhaustive inquiry into the activ- ity of enemy propagandists in the United States.
 Dr. Feuhr had charge of German propaganda which Berlin desired to circulated in American newspapers and magazines. His activities also ex- tended to Central and South America. Associated with him were many notor- ious propagandists, some of whom are now interned. He was in close touch with Count von Bernstorff and Dr. Heinrich F. Albert, commercial at tache at the German embassy. The papers seized are said to deal with Dr. Fuehr's activities preceding the entry of the United States into the war and from correspondence which Fuehr had with Berlin and Latin American countries, federal authorities said they expected new light will be shed upon German propaganda methods.

 CHEER AMERICA AND

UNUSUAL DEMONSTRATION OF AFFECTION FELT BY PEOPLE OF LITTLE OPPRESSED NATION FOR THIS COUNTRY AND ITS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE

BRUSSELS, Sunday, Nov. "A (By the Associated Press) ).-The love which Belgium bears towards Amer ica and the deep regard in which the United States minister, Brand Whit lock, is held were evinced in an un- precedented way yesterday at the famous church of Sainte Gudule, dur ing a service of thanksgiving for Bel gium's newly found freedom.
 The old church was crowded, and the royal family, members of the cab inet and the diplomatic corps were present. The service was the most impressive and beautiful ever seen in Brussels, most of the gerat congre- gation being moved to tears.
 At the conclusion of the te deum, a band which had been especially pro vided, started to play the Belgium na- sional anthem. But their over wrought emotions quickly carried them to cheering, which was probably the first time in history such thing occurred there.
 The king and queen and Cardinal Mercier were all acclaimed in mighty volume. Then came the ringing cry 'vive L. Ameriquei" and a moment later, as Minister Whitlock passed down the aisle the audience broke out with an impassioned ''vive Whit lock-"

FOOD HOLDS OUT

VIENNA, Thursday, Nov. 21, (By the Associated Press. 1.-The food sit uation is still a general topic of con versation. It is evident there is plenty of food in the hotels and res taurants for those persons who are able to pay the equivalent of from two to five dollars for each meal. The poor have been unable to obtain rice or macaroni. That this class of the population is still alive is due simply to their endurance.
 According to Dr. Walter Otis. an American. food conditions were never as bad as now, beth in Vienna and the country districts. On the farms there still are a certain number of hogs which are being fattened with milk. This milk, Dr. Otis said, was really needed for the sick, but the farmers earned more money by feed ing it to their hogs. He added the milk supply would cease as soon as the coldest weather sets in in the mid dle of December.
 John Arthur Weiss, another Amer ican. says there is possibly enough food for another two months.
 Speculation in food during the war has been one of the chief causes of the poor suffering. It is said that Archduke Frederick, uncle of the form

 WASHINTGON. Nov. 26.-When in- terviewed tonight concerning the pos sibility of his performing the duties of chief executive of the nation during the absence of President Wilson at the peace conference, Vice-President Marshall stated that 1t was not the present intention of the administra- tion that he should do so, but, refer ring to the speech of former attorney general. Wickersham, in New York, he said: If a demand were made upon me to perform the functions of chief executive by mandamus proceed ings, in a court of competent juris diction. during the absence of Presf- dent Wilson. should certainly obey the mandate of such a court"
 He added that he had heartily sup ported President Wilson's resolution to attend the peace conference.

 The secretary of state added that the hostility of the Czechs and Hun. garians toward the Austrians and the reports that efforts would be made by the Czechs even to take part of Ger man-speaking Austria made a union of the German states necessary for self preservation. He said there was another proposal to create along the Danube new republics.
 It was evident to observers here, Dr. Bauer continued, that the peace conference must aid in the settling of the difficulties of the new republics and lead them toward prosperity. He said he and other members of the government had been rather relieved to learn that there would be a mis- sion by the allies to help in the adjust ment of boundary disputes to the sat isfaction of all concerned and with the chief object of preventing new wars.
 As the Czechs have a strong army, Dr. Bauer continued, they are feared both in Austria and Hungary, whose war material was mostly abandoned on the Italian front or else seized dur ing the retreat The Jugo-Slavs, how ever, were Hungarians, the secretary of state concluded, and he felt that they would resist the efforts of the Czechs to take Presburg and other points claimed by them.

sent was carried by them without govern ment intervention in the method.
 Now that fighting has ceased and that international and national politics present the gravest question our government seizes the cables George Creel goes to Europe. Burleson takes charge of the system of transmission of news and opinion, and if congress yields to amazement it is small wonder.
 If the cable systems were inefficiently managed why did it take the government all the time of the war to discover the fact! :! Why was it necessary to wait until fight ing had ceased and international politics had begun2 Why did the necessity arise five days after the armistice went into ef- feet? Why did it arise at the moment President Wilson made known his inten- ton of going to Europea
 Congressmen would be extraordinarily credulous if they accepted the stated gov ernment reasons for the assumption of con trol of the cables at tbis time. They are justified in the suspicion that an amazing attempt to influence American opinion has proceeded to the extent of seizing the mechanism by which information, upon which opinion is based is transmitted.
 George Creel's record in dealing with news and with the public is one of aston ishing partisian enthusiasm. He says he does not intend to censor the news-that this is not his task He does not have to censor. With Burleson holding the lines and Creel with his staff of assistants stuff ing them, censorship would be superac- tivity.
 Intelligent men in congress fear this new and strange government act, and just ly, because they fear that President Wilson, going abroad, will be able to override all congressional restraints, reduce congress to a condition of total inutility and thus be- come virtual dictator of the fate and fu- ture of the American nation, possibly com init it to policies with which congress would not agree if it were not first made help less
 Every circumstance of the taking over of the cables at this time gives substance to the fear that a manipulation of American opinion will be undertaken and that by the manipulation of opinion the coercion of congress will be made not only possible but easy.
 The political danger of such an under taking Is apparent.

THE TYRANNY OF MAJORITIES

Peace hath her problems, no less than war and in every nation on earth today these peace problems loom to the front With the fall of the extreme of autocracy rises the menace of the extreme of democ- racy In Europe, this danger Is real. The bolshevik over there have enslaved Rus sia and are rampant in Austria and Ger many In free America they have appeared and broken out, only to be sternly sup pressed by law and drowned upon by the general public Nevertheless, eternal vigi- lance must be maintained against them. They are despicable, but not to be de- spised Governor Lowden of Illinois, in speech in Chicago the other day, spoke significantly and upon matters of vast inn portance when he said
 "A free people can never content itself with just celebrating victory. Eternal vigilance is still the price of liberty. The average man has responsibility which he never bore before. The future of the world is in his keeping. He, not kings, must de eide what the morrow shall be. He can make it, as the men of America have made 1t fer our own land. day of joy and op- portunity for all; or he can make it a hide ous nightmare, as the bolshevik have made it in Russia, wherein men, women and children long for the return of kings.
 It IS often said that ours is a govern ment by the majority It is that but 1t is something more Our fathers thought that there were some rights so sacred that even a majority should not suspend those rights Among them was religious free dom It was provided that even the ma jority could not take from the individual his life, his liberty, or his property except by due process of law.
 It Is thus seen that ours is government of liberty and justice, and not merely government by the majority. It Is true that the majority administers the govern ment, but the moment that majority de- parts from the principles of liberty and justice, that moment the majority threat ems the very foundations of our govern ment
 In the view of the fathers. despotism was equally hateful, whether the despot- ism of kings or the despotism of the ma jority We have just endured the horrors and the sacrifices of the greatest war the world has ever known to rid humanity of the tyranny of kings; and now civilization is threatened with that other tyranny, the tyranny of the mob. It doesn't matter in the least to civilization by what right the tryant claims to rule, whether, as in the case of a Hohenzollern, by divine right. or as in the case of Lenine and Trotzky, by disappointment The results to human ity are precisely the same in either case.
 ''Arduous indeed have been the last two years, but equally arduous are the years be- fore us, if we preserve the fruits of our heroes victories We have seen the fall of great and powerful nations. because they denied the supremacy of the moral law; because they had dethroned justice; be- cause they had pinned their faith to might, not right. And if the nations of the earth have not learned in the awful sacrifices of the last four years that Righteousness ex- alteth nation, but sin is a reproach to any
