SIBERIAN VENTURE
AWAITS APPROVAL
OF THE JAPANESE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

ese may play in the proposed expe-
dition to Vladivostok recently said:
Japan will accept the decision of
the United States. There may be a
slight delay. but Japan today bows
to the wide leadership Of President
Wilson and his people, who have
entered upon the great war only
through highest motives. There Is no
distrust in japan of the motives of
the United States.
Must Avert Hun Menace.
"It may be assumed that there will
be some objection to the plan relative
to Siberia. It is not easy to bring all
men readily to one point of view. 1t
is well known in Japan, however, that
the Japanese soldiers must be sent to
guard the Siberian coast II there is
evidence that the Germans are push
ing to Vladivostok. There are some
IN Japan who do not realize the mem
ace, They will go to protect Japan
from the flames which the Germans
will seek to set in Siberia. But these
Japanese leaders say they have not
as yet seen the smoke on the horizon
Of the German camp fires, and they
are not ready to enter the difficult
task Of freely giving Of their all to
help Siberia unless convinced that the
Germans plan to overrun the country.
III Japan and America enter ST.
IBERIA with the French and Italians
and British 1t will be a great chapter
in the history Of civilization. for there
is little Of material value in Siberia to
tempt the most avaricious nation. 1t
would appear that Japan viii the
more readily agree to the American
plan II il Is agreed that the military
forces shall be led by a French or
Italian officer with staff Of allied
officers"

CHIMES RING GOOD NEWS.
President Thomas Set Them to Ringing
Doxology to Announce Raising of En-

Climbing alone TO the bolfry of Mead
chapel at Middlcbury college Mt noon
Friday President John NJ. Thomas sent
all eight bells Of the chimes ringing
through the valley in vigorous rendition
of the doXology. 1t was, though only
a few of his associates were aware Of
it, in celebration of his success in rails
ing the 100000 Liberty endowment
found for Middlebury college.
DR.. Thomas gave out the following
statement:
1--WE have won. The Liberty endow-
ment fund will he oversubscribed. The
final returns are not yet in from all our
committees and every mail is bringing
additional gifts and pledges but. al
fcrs have been met.
cit has not been necessary to call
upon anyone to undcrwrite the bal
ancc. The fund has been raised by
straight subscriptions from alumni and
friends We have not had time to count
the number of subscribers, but I think
it will exceed 800. 1t is the largest
fund ever raised for Middlcbury col
lcgo.
''It is as much as the total cndoW-
mcnts accumulated by the college dur
ing The first century of its life. 1t will
all be safeguardcd as permanent trust
fund, the income only to be used ia
work cyerlastingiy for Middlebury col

PROVIDENCE WITH PASTOR.
Car Stops Over Brink of Prospect Street
Hill with East Dover Minister and
Several Women.

Rev. f. II. Perkins, of the East Dover
Baptist church, on Tuesday probably
had as narrow an escape from serious
injuries and possibly death as he ever
will have and come ont of it without
being hurt. Rev. Mr.. Perkins and sew
oral women, all from East Dover, had
been here to attend the funeral of Mrs
\. A. Lazcllc and were driving in his
automobile around the brow of the hill
on Prospect street when the accident
happened, which was about O'clock
As Rev. Mr. Perkins was turning the
car around he backed it too far and it
went over the bank Fortunately the
brakes held, but if there had been any
more weight ON the back seat the car
and occupants would have gone down
the entire icngth of the very steep
bank, distance of 40 feet or more.
The Crystal Springs lee Co. was called
ON and in about half an hour one of its
teams had pulled the car back into the
road.

SEEKING HELP FOR FARMERS.
Board of Trade Sends Letter TO Business
Men Hereabouts-Need Is Vital at
Present Time.

In an effort TO help the farmers of
Brattlcboro and vicinity harvest their
hay crop the local board of trade in CO.
operation with the representatives of the
state committee of public safety has sent
an appeal for men TO manufacturers and
merchants herea bouts. The need of farm
help is vital at this time. and it is hoped
hat employers in other lines of activity
win be able TO make arrangements so
that farmers can get the benefit of addi-
tional labor during the laying season
and later at harvest time
County Agent A. w. Swceton could
furnish work for number Of men and
boys Immediately in hayiields. Unless
help can be provided through Il co-opcra-
tive arrangement whereby store clerks
and factory operatives can be released
for short periods it is feared that only
small portion of the crops in this local
| ity can be harvested. The letter sent
ont by Acting Secretary II. Z. Monitt of
the board of trade is as follows:
you are doubtless aware there is Il
very great shortage of farm labor
Throughout the county. At Il meeting Of
the public safety committee representa-
| tivcs and the state public safety commit
tee held in Brattlcboro last Wednesday
| the cooperation Of the board of trade
was sought in an effort to relieve this
shortage so far as possible.
| Much of the work on the farms can
! be done during the ordinary working
( hours Of the day. even during the after
noon, provided groups Of men can be
| transported to the farms for work and
/ brought back at night The matter OF
| transportation can be easily arranged,
! but your assistance is very necessary in
order TO do what we can toward providing
men. 1t may possibly happen that
there are among your employees those
who came originally from farms who
would be willing to 90 back for day 81
a portion Of a day in order to relieve this
shortage and insure the harvesting OF
tho bumper crops which the large acreage
Iplantcd gives us reason to expect
Governor Graham has just issued a
proclamation in which he suggests that
such factories and stores that can do 81
should close three afternoons Il week fol
this very purpose. While | am not re-
Questinu any such radical Encouragement
rs this, it may possibly happen that somC
such rcarrangemcnt of working hours
for those employees or possibly Il little
earlier closing for group of them some
afternoons might be the only necessary
factor in insuing the assistance of these
men. OF course payment for the work
these men did would be expected from
the farmer
Mr. Swceton informs me that he ear
place a number OF these men now anc
several groups gould be used to advan
tage during the haying season. May
not ask you to take this matter up Will
your employees and see if some assistance
cannot be granted?
assuring You of my desire to cooper
ate with you IN every possible way fol
the bettcrment of Brattlcboro, remain
VERY truly yours
