DRAFT EXTENSION PASSED.
1t Applies to Men Reaching 2i After
June S, 1917.

Washington, March 30.-The resolu.
tion extending the seective draft to
men reaching the age of u since June
5, l9lT-the first registration day-was
passed last night by the Senate without
record vote after a futile attempt had
been made to add to it provision for
training youths from 10 to q years old
1t is estimated that about 700, 900 men
will be added to the registration this
year by the resolution. which is one of
the pieces of legislation on which the
war department is waiting before an
nouncing complete plans for the next
draft. 1t now goes to the House.
The proposal to require training of
boys over 10 and under registration was
in the form of an amendment by Sen
ator New Of Indiana, which the Senate
rejected SO to 26, after Il debate of sew
eral days
A adopted the resolution provides
that all male citizens of the United
States residing in this country attaining
their majority since June last shall be
subject to registration, under regua
tions prescribed by the president; shall
present themselves for registration on
day proclaimed by the president and
thereafter shall be liable to military
service.
There was no opposition to the reso-
luton itself, the only controversy being
over the New amendment Opponents
of the plan argued that training youths
would hamper urgent army enterprises
and take labor from farms and factor
les, without providing soldiers for i'm !
mediate needs at the front.

FRENCH MASS FOR DEFENSE
SOME SECURITIES RETURNED.
American Fidelity Co. Gets Favorable
Action from the State.

The result of the hearing that took
place before Judge +. l.. Fish in court oi
chancery Friday afternoon was an order
directing State Treasurer W. +. Scott tc
return to the American Fidelity com.
pany securities enough so that the sum
which they will represent in his hands
will amount to 100000. This reduction
was more than the fidelity company re-
quested: in fact, they asked only enough
so that they could handle the outstand-
ing liabilities at this time, which amount
TO little over $4,000. They asked the
court to reduce the securities that
amount.
The company even went further than
the state requested IL to do, for B. b.
Bailey suggested that none OF the money
realized from the return of the securities
be paid on the liabilities unless it was
authorized by the insurance commission
er.
When the hearing commenced it was
announced by c. II. Darling, who repre-
sented the fidelity company, that his
concern needed about $50 900 to pay liza
bilities outside of Vermont which are the
result of suits brought against the com
pany. II. G.. Barber, as attorney general,
had no objection to reduction of the
securities so long as they were not re-
duced below 100000. State Treasurer
Scott had no objections in the matter at
all, excepting that he wanted an order
for protection in the matter, which he
later obtained, and upon suggestion the
names of the securities which were re-
moved were made part OF the order
Judge Fish looked over the last re-
port of the company to the insurance
commissioner, and after due considera
tion inquired of those present if ii would
be agreeable if an order was made reduce
ing the security to the money value 6f |
300 900 from $4,000. 1t met the ap- |
proval of all, so that the order was |
lrawn, including the authorization of the
commissioner for payment of the lisbil-
ties and the names of the returned Sc
,urities.
II was the contention of the attorney
,eneral that the amount should not 20
,elow 100000 because, while there is no
aw on the matter in Vermont, other
tates carry law requiring that amount
deposited either in the treasury of the
tate in which the company is located or
n the state where 1t is doing business.
n addition TO what the company has in
he state treasury here, it has $4,000
deposited in Ohio, The company has
withdrawn its license to do business in
tates other than Vermont The report
I the company, as viewed by Judge
ish, showed capital stock of Sl50,00o
nd surplus offs15,000.

sation Business" from doing workmen's
compensation business has been sus.
tanned by Attorney General H. c. Barber,
according to an official statement made
in Montpelier to-day. The refusal of
permission TO do business is based on
chapter 225 OF the revised statutes, which
provides that there must be capital stock
of 100000 and on the ground that the
company was not Incorporated to do
that kind of business
Commissioner Browns ruling was
made on Jan. 80, since which time State
Commissioner of Industries II. w. ST.

tion law matters, has been doing bust
ness with the members of the association
as individuals, refusing TO recognize the
right OF the company to act in compen

banks and raised securities to like
amount, supposing' that met the require.

Drive in Washington County Is Meeting
with Success.

| The relief committee was fortunate
| III getting the services of Nelson Ballard
| as chairman of Washington county,
Weeks before the drive he had called in
workers from leading towns for con
ference at Montpelier. Men took up and
studied a kind of war beneyolence that
was new to them, involving long period
OF organization and handling of both
men and money. They were men who
had vision of the great opportunity
of America as guardian of the world 5
interests and defender of the lesser
nations. When the appointed time came
each man knew his place and duties, aud
the men and women enrolled took up
their appointed work as patriotic duty.
In the city of Barre alone n canvassing
force OF well over a hundred met to ar
range and rehearse the process Of the
canvass~They boldly struck out to finish
the work in two DAYS. This was simply
one instance of the efficient work that
has been done throughout the county.
When Mr. Tracy addressed the mass
meeting in Waterbury he >found the

had prepared the way for the same eff
cient process. Mr. Campbell of Water

He had the courage to ask the people
of Waterbury for a thousand dollars
a sum equal to the gifts they made to
the y. NJ. G, A. and the X. of G. He was
right; for the fate of three races depends
on the big heart of America.
Some Of the smaller towns are taking
this drive more seriously than the cities !
and it may be because they have not |
been worked so hard. Four small towns |
today came to our notice as contribut- |
ing upward of $500 each, without re- |
gard to the limits of their apporton- |
ment. Vermont as whole had on Feb. |
raised Sl4,ls and at present it looks
as if that sum would soon be doubled.
Eight places show returns of thousand
dollars or over, in cash or in pledges.
Any approach to Nermont's quota as a
state, requires that all the small towns
take up their quota and pay it. The
luota cannot be lowered! 1t represents
no more than ten cents a day for each
