the Bennington Banner, and who few
months ago bought the Caledonian ut
st. Johnsbury and has been making a
great go of 1t, Is about to enter on
another phase Of his kaleidoscopically
successful career. Most Of his articles
Will be published in seriel form In
missionary maga zine and The
Asia Magazine, which is devoted to
American trade interests in China, In
dia and Japan. A series of articles will
also appear in The Saturday Evening
Post and some fiction along the same
line in The American Magazine and The
Adventure Magazine.
Leaving Vermont about June he
Will spend month in the far west,
familiarizing himself with the western
country. sailing from Vancouver for
Yokohoma on or about July ]. Hs Will
spend two months in Japan and move
on into Manchuria and Korea where he
will spend two months each. From
Korea he will travel down through
northern China to the coast and sail
for India and Kilpling's country where
he expects to put in three months. From
India he will go to the island of Ceylon
where he will spend another month.
nj inf
If the fighting in Europe has ended
by that time he will move down into
Mesopotamia. Turkey and the Holy
Land into Egypt and travel by way of
Uganda, East Africa through to South
Africa. From South Africa he will re-
turn northward to Europe and England,
back to New York. If the war is not
over. he will go from Ceylon to the
South Sea Islands, after which he will
turn homeward via Hawaii.
The trip is to consume one year and
all expenses are met by the board OF
business and missionary organizations
who are sponsoring the trip. On the
conclusion of the articles in World Out
look and The Asia Magazine, they will
be gathered into a book which will be
published on the subject of Small Town
Life in Foreign Countries.
Mr.. Pelley is being given a special
permit from Washington to make the
trip on account of our present rela-
lions with foreign countries both allied
and enemy. The idea of the men who
are sending him is to cement a better
understanding between the common
people of the two countries by means
of book and magazine articles and he
was chosen from among a large num-
Der of nationally known writer's for the
task.
Mrs. Policy and little daughter will
accompany him, living in Japan while
Mr.. Policy is penetrating into the back
country of Asia. Satisfactory arrange.
ments are being made in ST. Johnsbury
for the sale of a part interest in his
newspaper to a person who will not be
