Y. NJ. c. A.. DEFICIT
This Considered Sufficient Answer
TO the CHARGE of Pro6teerinc

This Considered a Sufficient Answer
to the Charge of Prohteering
New York, Jan. 1.-THE announce
ment of deficit of nearly $1,750,000
is considered by the Young Mems
Christian Association as sufficient
answer to the charge of profiteering
in their overseas work This, accord
ing to William Sloane, chairman of
the National War Work Council, does
not include the post exchange de-
ficit for November and December,
nor is mention made of the free use
Of athletic supplies, of entertainments
provided, nor of stationary. 1t is said
that 100000 was appropriated for
stationery sometime ago, thinking
that this would last six months, but
in November alone, soldiers in the
home camps wrote 14,089,3 ,305 letters
on "Y" supplies. The canteen service
share of this deficit amounted to
1892, ,181, not including the cost OF
operating post exchanges. The re-
port shows that the total value o1
supplies distributed free up to Oct
81 amounted to $532,110; the Novem-
Der estimate was $183,486.

the Canvass

The campaign for funds to relieve
the destitute people of the Near East
closes Sunday night.
The local campaign has dragged
somewhat up to the present time and
not quite one-half of the quota had
been reported up to last night.
An extra effort will be made to-
day and tomorrow and it is hoped
that the full allotment will be sub
scribed by Sunday night.
Additional workers we're added to
several teams yesterday and every
thing is being done which can be
done to maintain the record which St.
Johnsbury has made in all the money
raising campaigns since the beginning
of the war.
Especially good work is being done
by the four teams on "the Plain"
with Miss Woods team maintaining
commanding lead. The committee
present below the report of the va
rious teams up to Friday night. Some
of the teams however only completed
their organization yesterday and
when these live workers finish their
canvass, there will be material
shake up in the position of the teams
and substantial increase to the re-
lief fund.

the activity of the Japanese through
out the maritime province of Siberia.
Agents of Japanese syndicates are re-
ported to be negotiating for the pur-
chase of a large number of mines,
-four mills, brickworks, sawmills and
other industrial undertakings, while
commercially they are making every
effort to extend their influence. The
japanese firms, which for the most
part have only recently been estab-
iished at Vladivostok, are enlarging
their operations and endeavoring to
obtain as large a share as possible of

BASKET BALL GAME

The Freshman team of the Acad-
emy took the Concord Junior High
School outfit into camp in snappy
game Friday evening by a score OF
AZ to 1.
The Concord school has been clos
ed for the past few weeks and the
team showed it's lack of practice, but
it was a heavier team than the locals
and some of the players showed
flashes of form, notably Hodgdon
and Cutting.
The Freshmen passed and shot IN
clever fashion and showed familiar
ity with team work which IS always
necessary to win games.

Past Year

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 17-Ninety-
three deaths and loss to shipping
of from S6,oO0,0oO to s8,000,000 is the
disaster toll Of the 1913 shipping sea-
son on the Great Lakes, according to

life was unusually heavy, due to the
drowning Of Is men of the two
French mine sweepers that disap-
peared in a gale on Lake Superior,
Nov. "a. Loss to shipping was the
hghtest in many years.

HEARTS OF THE WORLD
COMING NEXT WEEK
A Wonderful Moving Picture Show
Booked at the Colonial

Hearts of the World" the new
feature production by D. w. Griffith,
whose birth of a Nation" and "In-
tolerance" have established him as a
leading genius of the camera, will be
presented in St. Johnsbury at the
Coleman twice daily at Els and 8 p.
NJ, on Wednesday and Thursday.
This new Griffith production. which
many declare inaugurates a new era
III the realm of screen drama, has
been seen in but two cities-Los An
geles and New York, and from both
have come the most glowing accounts
of it's tremendous appeal and mag
nifcent photography. This, of
course, was to have been expected of
the indomitable Griffith, who still
proves that he has no rivals in his art
and still is the master producer of
the films.
"Hearts of the World" is describ-
ed as "the sweetest love story ever
told" and with such players as Lii
liam and Dorothy Gish and Robert
Harron in the principal roles, this
description may be believed. These
juvenile players are price favorites Of
the screen, and Mr. Grifith's choice
Of them for the Interpretation of his
story further indicates that it will be
a work of great charm, well acted and
intelligently carried through along
Griffith standards.
The public that has seen "The
Birth Of a Nation" and intolerance"
naturally expects something big from
Mr.. Griffith. And yet it is interest
ing to note that instead of trying to
out-do himself in staging gigantic
battle scenes, he used the great war
only as background for the filming
of a simple and attractive love story
Of tremendous human interest. His
characters are the happy, peaceful
people of small French village be-
fore the horrors of war reared THEN
grim and ugly heads over the hori-
zon.
The causes that led up to the wal
are shown; the meeting of the Eng
lish Parliament of the eventful night
when the vote was cast for war; the
session of the French Senate on the
night of August 4, 1914, at 10.45
o'clock, awaiting Germany's answer
These scenes come as prelude &c
the main story, as does also the in
terview between David Lloyd George
and Mr.. Griffith. Then the great
drama begins when the German hord-
es enter France.
In taking the various battle scenes
+ in "Hearts Of the World Mr.. Grif-
fifth has the assistance and co-opera-
ton of the British War Office anC
the French government officials
There can be no doubt that the pic
ture will show history in the making
as it never has been shown before
and probably never will be again dur
ing the present struggle. Mr.. Grit
fifth is a man who does big things II
a big way, and any production at hi
hands may be contemplated with tht
greatest assurance that it will fal
| surpass anything of the kind eve7
| done before.

CLEAN UP AND KEEP CLEAN
Much More Than Mere Comfort Is In
voIved in Having Community
Free From Dirt.

The greatest effort In the history of
cleanliness is ml
For cleanliness has a history. Its
influence IA be traced down the ages.
Those races that were clean were
those races that were the masters.
The A%thenians, with their baths and
beautiful homes, conquered the Per
slams, with their unkempt boards and
dirty skins. The Romans, with their
aqueducts, their BARRIERS, their gar
dens, beat back the barbarians with
their goat skins and greasy fingers.
Louis XVI was the most dainty mon
arch France ever had and one of the
mightiest. Filth kept the Panama
canal from being built years before it
finally was. Bolshevism flourished
when the dirty and Ignorant gained
control in Russia.
Real people, the wise, the leaders in
progress, always have fought for
cleanliness. At times it has been a
sporadic fight, a skirmish. A clean
man was handicapped by a neighbor
who let his premises run wild. But
cooperation has been brought to play
Ut laSC.
This year, in the United States
alone, 1000 villages. towns and cities
are campaigning for cleanliness and
health. They are not doing so for a
day or a week, but in a continuous
campaign. In a steady pressure.
Tin cans, flies, refuse, dirt, waste
paper, unsightly buildings, implanted
surfaces are taboo. The drive is on.
1t has been estimated that 10000
600 men, women and children in the
United States are annually interested
in and working on clean up and paint
up activities. 1t is an army of magnif-
cent purpose and of immense possibili-
ties. 1t is bound to win.
Join the forward movement. Clean
up, paint up and keep it up. Make the
old enemies, dirt and disease and I'M
s~ightliness, abdicate and stay out.

o,d.Fashioned Flower Garden.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever"
which can be found in a bed of old
fashioned flowers at a minimum cost.
After the soil is prepared, SOW the
seeds or set out the plants, putting the
tall ones like sweet peas, hollyhocks,
golden glow and sunfiowers in the
back. Plant shorter ones in front,
such as the marigolds, japanese pop
pies, sweet Williams and field daisies;
in front of these still shorter ones,
such as petunias, nasturtiums and as
tiers, with pansies, pinks and verbenas
in front. A border of candy tuft or
sweet alyssum is very decorative.
With such an arrangement, flowers for
the parlor and living room table can
be obtained until frost comes.
Many a bouquet Of beautiful flowers
at practically no expense also can find
its way into the oom Of some sick per-
son or to a hospital ward.-Thrift

WHY HOME OWNING IS URGED
Ten Powerful Arguments Put Forward
by Those Convinced of Wisdom
of the Plan.

Home owning will result In benefit
to people who become home owners
and to the city as a whole, for these.
among other, reasons:
1. In the long u the home owner
Is more prosperous than the renter,
and the prosperity Of any city depends
upon the prosperity of Its individual
citizens.
2. The home owner is permanent {;
the shifter does little good to his city
or himself.
8. The home owner is progressive !;
the enter is not interested in progress
sive movements.
4. Habits of thrift learned in home
buying add to the wealth of the indi-
vidual and the city.
s. The home owner beauties the
city; the renter does not; the more
beautiful our city Is the more people
will be attracted to 1t.
6. Other things being equal, the
home owner is a better worker than
the renter, and keeps his position af-
ter the renter is discharged.
z. The owner of a home has an ever
present protection against poverty,
and will not become a charge upon the
community.
8. No city Of renters can ever sue
coed. No nation Of tenants ever be-
came great.
8. A city that is worth living in is
worth owning a home in.
10. Other things being equal, the
home owner is a better citizen, a bet
ter soldier, a better American than the
renter.

Build Bird Homes.

Birds add much to the home sur
roundings and are easily made neigh
bors if nesting places r available.
Bird hosses will attract wrens, blue
birds, martins and nuthatches; and
the windbreak, apple orchard, or lawn
trees make good homes for orioles,
phoebes, robins and thrushes. They
will pay for any attention by the de-
structiOn Of many injurious insects.
Some fruiting shrubs, such as the
Juneberry, black haw, sheepberry and
cherry should he planted in thickets,
not alone for the birds, but because
they add much to the surroundings.

BY EDWARD w. PICARD.

MANY people have thought that
the mere signing of the treaty with
Germany marks the ending of the
world peril. The situation today is
still serious The worlds statesman
ship will be sorely tried in the next
few years.
1.-THE peace conference has been
history's greatest instance of n uni
fed world craftsmanship directing
the moral and material resources of
the worlds family Of nations. To al
low the spirit behind it to disintegrate
at his m of emergency. when
united action is imperative, would be
fatal to all the hopes of permanent
peace with which we entered the war.
"Out of 1t all has come the most
important international document
ever drawn-the treaty of peace with
GERMANY document which not only
meets the issues of the present war,
but also lays down new agreements
of the most helpful and most hopeful
character. The nations are bound to-
gether to avert another world catas-
trophe, backward peoples are given a
new hope for their future; evera
racial entities are liberated to form
new states; a beginning is made to-
ward removing unjust economic re.
strictions, and the great military au-
tocracies of central Europe are de-
stroyed as the first step in a general
disarmament.
1.-The treaty is, of course. not all
that we had hoped Tor. Too many
conflicting interests were involved.
Nearly every one will find in 1t weak
nesses, both of omission and commits
sion.
II come home pleased, but not over
complacent with the outcome of the
last six months; hopeful. but not in
the least unmindful of the problems
yet to be solved"
These are the words of Robert
Lansing, United States secretary of
state. They sound like both fact and
sense. Therefore they are welcome
in these topsy-turvy days.
Admitting that the League of Ma
lions is the hope of the world, is it
M that America can accept In jus
tice to herself? That is what the
United States senate is trying to find
out. 1t is the question of the hour.
So many shades of individual opinion
are held among the senators that ac-
ceptance or rejection can hardly be
said to be a party question. Any
way, the Republican view Is presum-
ably correctly set forth in the follow
ing official statement by Chairman
