DECIDES AGAINST
SERBIAN DELEGATION
JugO-Slav Committee Insists That It
Must Be Through Combined Serbo-
Croatian-Slovene State.

Paris, Jan l6.--Serbia cannot take
part in the peace conference unless rep
resented in delegation from the com
bined Serbo-C -Croatian-Sl state, the
Jugo- Slav committee here declared in a
protest issued against the decision of
the supreme council to admit delegates
from the kingdom of Serbia but mot of
the kingdom Of the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes.
The committee declares this action
threatens to provoke a conflict which
might have serious consequences, and the
refusal to accept the delegates of the
united state would make it impossible
for Serbia herself to participate in the
conference.
The protest concludes by saying that
the council in arriving at its decision,
did not take into account the new situa-
tion in Serbia and thus will be obliged
to examine into the question anew.

UNIVERSALIST EXECUTIVE
MEETING IN BARRE
Work for the Year in Vermont and the
Province of Quebec Was
Outlined.

A meeting of the executive committee
of the Universalist convention of Yer
mont and the province of Quebec was
held at Hotel Barre to-day, The mem
bers present were O, X. Hollister Barre /;
George C. Felch, st. Johnsbury; f. r.
Vaughn, Brattleboro, and Rev. George
T. Fortier, Morrisville.
The committee appointed as Sunday
school commission, Rev. A. n. Blackford
of Rochester, chairman, Miss NJ. A. Jen-
ness of St. Johnsbury, and George f.
Fortier, clerk.
The social service committee will be
Rev Harold Guy Scott of st. Johnsbury,
chairman, Prof. X. r. b. Flint of North
field, George C. Felch of st. Johnsbury,
Rev. J. B. Reardon of Barre, and Rev.
George +. Fortier, clerk.
The usual aid was appOrtioned to the
weaker parishes of the convention.
The committee adopted the following
statement of policy; I'VE believe that
the preaching of the distinctive princi-
pies of Universalism was never more nee
essary or important than in the present
period of reconstruction, and we deplore
any movement or tendency of the times
calculated to restrict the freedom with
which these principles have always been
proclaimed by ministers and people,
The adoption of minimum wage scale
for clergymen by the National Council of
Superintendents was approved, and its
adoption by Universalist parishes as rap
idly as possible was recommended.
Absolute enforcement of the fellowship
laws of the denomination and strict in
vestigation of all applicants for admis-
sion to the ministry was ordered. Other
routine business was transacted.

ORGAN TRUST FUND
Has Been Started for Presbyterians By
Mrs. Caroline B. Milne.

A goodly number of members, adhe-
rents and friends of the First Presbyte
rian church gathered in the vestry last
evening to transact the business of the
year and elect officers. A spirit of unan-
unity and cooperation prevailed and re-
ports that were very gratifying were
listened to intently. Every department
Of the church life has in its respective
treasury a tidy balance with which to
begin the new year.
Especially encouraging was the report
of the treasurer, Kenneth Macrae, giving
the amount of money raised during the
year as $2,342.02. The manse debt has
been reduced $500 during the year by the
persistent efforts of the ladies' union and
the faithful work of the janitor, who
willingly directs his yearly salary to II !,
paying of this debt. =:
The church has been called on the ~
just ended to pass through momentos
period and through it all the people have
responded nobly. Many of the valued
members were lost through death by the
epidemic and others located near muni-
tions works and shipyards to help in the
defeat of the enemy. All bills have been
met on time
Reflections and additions to the board
of managers include the names of David
Stuart, William Craig, John E. Macken-
zie, James Robertson, James W. Clubb,
A. G. Walker and Joseph l.. Arkley. Ken
meth Macrae was again prevailed upon
to act as treasurer.
The desire of the late George b. Milne,
who was always ready to lend his help
- 4 4 4. L L
the church might have new pipe organ
installed, will be carried ont in the very
near future, it is hoped by church people
His widow, Caroline B. Milne, has placed
in local bank as a trust fund to be
known as "The George b. Milne Organ
Fund" the sum of $780, the same to be
used in the purchase and installing of a
pipe organ within the next ten years.
The money is under the trust of the ses-
sion and the pastor Mrs. Milne in plac-
ing the gift desired, as she expressed it,
to have the wish of Mr. Milne fulfilled.
The church feels greatly indebted for this
generosity and, encouraged with new
hope, expects to lend its efforts this year
in making the new addition to the church
and its services.
One of the pleasantest parts of the
evenings business came when, on behalf
of the church societies, Rev. Mr.. Cross
land presented beautiful and substantial
chairs to John Stewart and John T.. Mac
kenzie, who have gratuitously given of
their time and strength in keeping the
church warm and clean. Both men re-
sponded feelingly.
William Walker, who, with the pastor,
represented the Barre church at the new
era conference at the First Presbyterian
church in Boston last week, gave a re-
port of his observations and the work
outlined for the year to come.
1t was an annual meeting long TO be
remembered and the coming year is
bound to see even greater results. After
the business refreshments were served
| by the ladies.

Had Been Holding Out in Medina, Holy
City of the Mohammedan Faith,
Against King of the Hediaz.

London, Jan. G6.-The Turks who have
been holding out in Medina, Holy City
of the Mohammedan faith, have capt.
ulated to the king of the Hedjaz, it was
officially announced here to-day. The
capitulation was under the terms of the
Turkish armistice.
"The delay in bringing the garrison to
compliance with the terms" says the
official statement, was due to its long
isolation, which necessitated our permit
ting the interchange of special communi-
cation with Constantinople. The Amir
Abdulla, representing the king of the
Hediaz, officially entered Medina at IL
a. m. on Monday. He was enthusiast
cally acclaimed"

Congress passed the resolution submit
ting the amendment to the various state
legislatures in the midst of the seething
preparations for war in 1917. The Sen
ate adopted the resolution Aug. |, by a
vote of 65 to 20, and the lower house on
Dec. IL by lsl to 1913. The Legislature Of
Mississippi was the first to ratify, tax
ing this action on Jan. s, 1918, Fourteen
other states took similar action during
that year. the last of them being Louis
lana. which ratified on Aug. s.
In the fall elections the wet or dry
question was paramount in most OF the
remaining states, but the vote left no
doubt that the United States was de-
stined to be the first great nation to veto
liquor. The ban on vodka in Russia was
never completely effective, nor did it In
terfere materially with the consumption
of more expensive liquors by those who
could afford it. Russian advices now
state that the bolshevists have restored
the vodka traffic
Michigan, having by state law made
itself dry in 1918, was the first state to
ratify in 1919, the legislature voting on
the second day of the new year. From
that date to to-day, legislatures have
acted rapidly. Five states ratified yes
terday, bringing the number up to 80.
Other legislatures worked at feverish
speed to be the seth.
Meanwhile a distillers' committee,
through Levy Mayer, chief Of their coun-
sci, announced that in % states the con
stitutions require a referendum vote OF
citizens in order to ratify constitution

these states as follows:
South Dakota, Oregon, Nevada, Mon
tana, Oklahoma, Maine, Maryland, Mich
igan, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico, California, Ohio, Nebraska,
Washington, North Dakota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana and Utah.
In California court action has already
been taken to restrain the governor from
certifying the action of the legislature to
Washington. Every resource of the dis
+illers, with $l,000,000,000 available, will
be employed in the supreme effort to
save their businesses, it is said. An i'm

ENORMOUS REVENUES cUT oFF.
Government Will Lose Near Half Bill
lion by Prohibition.

Washington, d. O., Jan. l6.--National
prohibition by constitutional amendment
has been accepted by the United States
in just l3 months, lacking one day, after
the joint resolution by Congress was
submitted to the states for ratification.
Fourteen of the SO states which have
approved the resolution have certified
their action to the state department. A
question as to the effective date of the
amendment was raised to-day when news
came that Nebraska, the 3Gth state, had
voted ratification, by a statement of
Senator Sheppard of Texas, author of
the resolution, that the country would
90 dry one year from to-day. Other stu
dents of the question held that ratifca-
tion would not be completed until one
year from formal certifeation by the
36th state.
Possibility of a difference of months
in the calculations of the effective date
was seen. Mississippi, the first state to
ratify the amendment has not yet certi-
fed its action to the state department,
although the affirmative vote on the
amendment was taken more than a year
ago, Jan s, 1918.
Prohibition leaders regard the effective
date as a matter of small moment, how
ever inasmuch as countrywide prohibit
tion is ordered July by the war meas
ure passed by Congress to conserve grain.
That measure remains in force until aft
er the rehabilitation of the military
forces is completed, which many think
Iwill not be before the constitutional
amendment is operative.
Enormous revenues derived by the
government from taxes on manufacture
and sale of alcoholic drinks will be cut
off by prohibition. 1t is planned to raise
$45O,0O0,0O0 this year by beverage taxes.
In peace times, the amount was less, but
still ran into the hundreds Of millions.
