up Winooski Tuesday afternoon and
as a result is now spending some
time in the Chittenden comfy jail. He
appeared yesterday afternoon at his

shoot in front of the house and the
noise stirred up the street some, but
none dared interfere. The police
were summoned, and when they ar
rived Murtha had retreated to a
wood yard at the corner of Malletts
Bay Avenue and Union street. Muir
tina opened fire at the police and as
they had no weapons they lodged

Definiteness Is Needed In

IT is A NEW AMERICA
Experts in International Law See
Isolation if Presidents Policy
Fails
1T is A NEW AMERICA

PARIS, Feb. 27-The essence of
the Presidents accounting to the
American people and Congress is the
alternative of dangerous isolation
or the definite, continuous foreign
policy long advocated and approved
by leading American experts in in
ternational law and politics. It is
well known here that Mr.. Wilson has
convinced Lloyd George, Mr.. Balfour
and the other European delegates
that America recognizes the primary
need for defniteness in foreign mat
ters for the future, and will seek re-
publican cooperation to that end.
Diplomatic circles in Paris inter-
pref the utterances of Mr.. Taft, as
well as other favorable republican ex-
pressions, as is already inaugurated.
1t can positively be said that the
Japanese are willing to meet the AM
erican views if they can be sure that
America is in earnest. Premier Ia
kashi Hara's Kiao- -chau assertion, op-
posing the known American official
attitude, is regarded by the best in
formed people here as pail on Ba-
ron Nobuaki Makino's work, which
is being seriously embarrassed be-
cause the Toxic militarist millionaire
clique think America is blufing, bas-
ing the conviction upon past Ameri-
can Asiatic wobbling. It is a histori-
cal fact that America, despite he1
constitutional opposition to polygamy
now faces a polygamus union Of Eu-
rope with Asia, Africa and Australia

BASKET BALL LEAGUE
Of Academy Inter-class Play Two
Lively Games Wednesday
Afternoon

The inter-class basket ball league
of the Academy put on two games
of major league caliber yesterday af-
ternoon at the Y. M. C.. A. This COM
pact little league is composed of four
teams so evenly matched that nobody
can forecast the outcome of any
game with any degree of accuracy
until the final whistle blows.
The juniof-senior game was sup
posed to be the big attraction, as
these two teams were tied for the
lead of the league. It was a good
game but could not be compared with
the set-to indulged in by the lower
classes which ended in a tie and re-
quired overtime to settle.
The juniors lost to the seniors Is
to 10 but they had hard luck in
shooting and if the same teams met
tomorrow the verdict would be as
likely to go the other way, as three
points in game of that type is more
or less matter of luck. The fresh
man-sophomore game was marked
by clever, clean passing by both
teams although the seniors secured
an early lead and were never quite
overtaken. Two of their points came
from abasket scored afterthe timers
whistle had blown at the end of the
first period but before the referees
whistle was blown. Had these two
points not counted they would have
won by the slim margin of but one
point. Beck, Warden and Collins
formed a good combination for the
juniors, although Captain Warden
was not in his usual form. Fer the
seniors Dub Smith played his usual
whirlwind game ably, and abetted by
all his teammates.
The under-class game was full OF
thrills, the teams never being more
than one point apart all the way
through and showing a brand OF
floor work and passing worthy of vet
eran ofganizatieas.-At the end -oi
the regular playing time, the score
was seven all, necessitating the play.

how CAN YOU TELL YOUR

As Plain as the Nose on Your

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like 1t.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some

Naturally, there is considerable differ.
ence in the kind of favorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest.
most wholesome, and delicious OF all
flavorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in q great
measure explains the widespread popu-
