FUTURE OF SYRIA
4 DELICATE PROBLEM
Because of Syria's Advanced Civilization
Idea of a Protectorate Cannot
Be Applied.

Paris. Jan. 25.-The future status of
Syria is one of the most delicate to be
settled by the peace conference 1t is ex-
pected that a commission viii be ap.
pointed soon to report on conditions in
Syria and suggest a course to be fol-
lowed there.
Pierre Rameil a member of the French
chamber of deputies, informed The Asso-
ciated Press to-day that, in view of the
advanced civilization of the Syrians, the
idea of a protectorate or a colony such
as exists in certain other parts of the
world cannot obtain in Syria. He added:
"A new form of suzerainty will have
to be devised and new word coined to
describe it. Owing to difference of race,
religion and language, the Syrians at
present are unable to govern themselves.
Some of the great European countries
must exercise guardianship and guidance
over Syrian affairs.
France from time immemorial having
had the greatest interest of any country
in Europe in Syria, and a majority of
the population speaking the French Ian
guage, French officials feel that such
guardianship and guidance devolves upon
France until such a time as Syria is
able to govern itself"

Got Away with About $40 in
Money During Last
Night
FORCED A WINDOW
AND CRAWLED IN
The Cash Register Seems to
Have Been Only Thing
Tempered With

The robber made another of his semi
occasional appearances in Barre last
night, or, to be more exact, he did not
appear to anybody but visited the Shep-
ard cafe on Keith avenue, just off North
Main street The cafe was $40 the worse
of by reason of his visit, the money hav-
ing been taken from the cash register,
which sets in the middle of the little
restaurant.
Entrance was made by means of a
small window which opens into the base
ment eating place from the rear of the
Rowland block. This window was sup
posed to be locked at night, and the man
agement of the cafe declared this morn
ing that it was locked when the place
was closed last night Anyway, the win.
dow was not locked or closed this morn
ing when the cafe was opened for bust
ness, showing that the robber had used
that aperture for getting in some time
during the night. The police were sum.
moned at about 1880 this morning.
There were no tracks leading up to or
from the window, but the absence Of
them might be explained by the action Of
the heavy winds of last night in cover
ing up the traces with the driven snow.
So far as could be ascertained, the
marauder confined his attentions wholly
to the cash register, nothing else in the
cafe being distI rbed, the robbers appe-
tite apparently not being so sharp as it
has been on some OF his previous visits
in Barre residences. This robbery adds
another to a long list Of breaks during
the last few months, all Of which bear
somewhat similar earmarks.

and south metropolitan system 1.-THE sub
way, the street car service and the ON

FIRE IN BARBER SHOP.
About $500 Damage to Building on Barre
Street, Montpelier, Early To-day.

For the first time in over two months,
the fire department was called out on a
general alarm about 2:30 o'clock this
morning, on call from the box near the
corner Of Barre and Granite streets, for
fire in the building owned by L. Pilini
at 249 Barre street The FIRE did about
$500 damage before the department had
put it out, although a closer investiga
tion may show the damage to be larger
than first observation would indicate
The fire seemed to have started in the
barber shop conducted by NJ. Gracia. 1t
was discovered by someone living on the
opposite side Of the street, who notified
Mr. Pilini. A son of the latter pulled in
the alarm and the department respond
ed, making good run. Two lines Of
hose were laid. Nothing in the barber
shop was saved, but the fire was put out
in that portion Of the building. 1t had
start enough so that it went into the
partitions in the two.story portion of
the building, and, driven by the heavy
wind, it required some time to get it un.
der control and put out the FIRE. Only a
small crowd gathered, and it soon melt

LEAGUE ESTABLISHED
IN ITS TRUE PLACE
Says London News Of Great Britain's De-
cision to Refer Matter of Possession
Of Territory Occupied Now
BY Army.

London, Jan 25. "Great Britain's de-
cision to leave such questions as the fu-
ture of Mesopotamia, Palestine and the
German colonies to the league of nations
is profoundly important" syas the Daily
News "The adoption of such a policy
by the British delegation has established
the league in its true place in relation to
the peace congress and invests the whole
proceedings of the congress with an at
mosphere OF confidence and good will,
created by the refusal of great nation
to take advantage of the accident of mill
tary possession Of valuable territory.
"If Great Britain is ready to give such
an effective pledge of her faith in the
league of nations, no other power is left
with an excuse for holding back The
decision may well prove to be the great
est victory Of the war"
