as it could be managed, but we are
dissatisfied with what you have allow
ed TO be done in the Legislature Of
Vermont. There are high salaries

perform little service, numerous fees

increasing list Of licenses required Of
the people, who must carry the bur
den of taxation. But | shall not speak
Of these in particular but Of The school
law which has been inflicted upon US
and which | believe to be unconstiu-
tional in that it cffcctually prohibits
any competition. 1t distinctly states
that no one shall teach in the schools
of Vermont who has not a diploma
from an accredited high school and in
addition a diploma from a training
class or normal school. This is not
too much education. 1t am not quar-
reling with that, but it favors the for
eigner who settles in droves in cur
cities under the caves Of our best edu-
cational institutions and educate their
young into the very best business OPP
portunities the country affords, while
the American youth in the country
doing the real work and upbuilding
the institutions of the country must
pay j good round sum for only a few
years Of such opportunity. Our own
commissioner of education has said in
my presence: eve cannot sacrifice our
children to the farms. They must be
kept in school," This declaration is
not primarily for the children but that
the schools may employ large facul |
ties at fat salaries. | say we must at
this time more than ever before sacri- |
flee our children tothe farms, but il |
during the long evenings they become
qualified by correspondence course,
or become competent at private

even that Of president.
When the U. S. government wants |
men or women employees does it re-
quire someone with an armful of di- |
plomas or does it require each to take
a competitive examination? If the
law of Vermont is not
proven unconstitutional ! hope that
woman by her vote will compel re-
urn to the teachers examination.

STEP BY JAPAN
INTO SIBERIA
now REMOTE
U. S. Diplomacy Successful
and Russia Will Take
Hand in Friendship.

American diplomacy as repre-
sented by President Wilson's refus-
al to assent to intervention by ia
pan in Asiatic Russia has accom-
plished its full purpose, it was Of
ficially stated yesterday.
The execution Of the Japanese
plan to invade Siberia is now re-
garded as a remote possibility, and
the Russian people are said to be
reaching out through diplomatic
exchanges to accept the preferred
hand of friendship from the United
States.
The result is exsSAed to give
impetus to the rapScfy crystalliz-
ing movement among the revolu-
tionists in. Russia to oppose Ger
many and continue the struggle for
free government This was the OBJ
ject OF the policy adopted by the
United States and resolutely main
tanned from the White House n
the face of strong pressure from
the entente powers.
The reported movement Of Ger
man troops on Moscow and Petro-
grad is expected to reunite the
Pan-Soviets which have been seri-
ously divided by the acceptance of
the German peace terms. The plan
of the Germans TO dominate by mil
itary force the two great Russian
centers will give emphasis to the
recent warning issued by Ambas-
sador Francis from vologda, it is
believed. All available agencies
are being employed to make known
throughout Russia the attitude TAX
en- by the United States against in
tervention by Japan.
The japanese military mission
has been shown every courtesy at
the command of the State Depart
ment and the itinerary of an inspec-
tion tour which Will carry the Of
ficial party over a large section of
the country was prepared by the
Bureau of Foreign Intelligence.
The first stop on the tour was made
at Fortress Monroe yesterday.

WHEAT HOARDS SEIZED
FROM GERMAN TRADER
Government Takes $4,000 Pounds
from New Mexico Firm.

Hoarding Of wheat by Germans
in New Mexico resulted yesterday
in the Food Administration seizing
100000 pounds held by Kempenich
Brothers.
The men have consistently refused
to sell their stock at the ruling
price fixed by the government and
have given no satisfactory explana-
tion of their action. An estimated
report. placed the production of
these two men. brothers trading as
farmers and storekeepers, at 100, 1000
pounds. In addition they purchased
about 250.000 pounds. which they
also refused to release from stor-
age. The Food Administration

holding this wheat the men have

IRISH RECONCILIATION
URGENT, SAYS ASQUITH
Former Premier Declares World $
Future Depends on Question.

London. March 2s,-Former Pre-
mier Asquith. in an address here,
said: These are critical moments
in the fortunes of Ireland We
heard disquieting reports, but one
thing is most urgent, not jnly in
the interests of Britain, Ireland and
the British Empire, but in the in
terests of the allied cause and the
future of the world, reconciliation
in Ireland.
Il refuse to believe that at this
supreme moment British and Irish
statesmanship Is so bankrupt that
1t cannot find an honorable solu-
tion."
II the war should last another
year, said Mr.. Asquith. the national
debt would be $4,000. .O00. .Ooo. This
could be met only by Industrial ex-
pansion.
The former pIemier declared
strongly for continuation of free
trade. Regarding state control OF
industries. he said: "our experience
has not been altogether happy under
a cohort of controllers" He be-
lieved Great Britain could not main
tain competition against the world
under that system.
