To Adopt Plans to Combat
Spread of Bolshevist
Doctrines
AND TO AMERICANIZE
MILLION UKRAINIANS
First Convention of the Kind
to Be Held in the
United States

New York, Jan. l6-More than one
thousand Ukrainian delegates represent
ing their countrymen in the United
States and Canada, met here to-day to
adopt plans for combating on this con-
tinent and in Europe the spread of boil
shevist doctrines, and for Amerieanizing
one million Ukrainians residing in this
country.
The convention, the first of it's kind to
be held in the United States, was called,
according to Rev. N. Pidhorecli, one of
the Ukrainian leaders, because of the
alarming spread of bolshevism through
out the world" Thousands of his race
in this country, the clergyman added, are
ignorant of the English language and of
American customs, and the world of boil
shevist emissaries who are especially
active among them, tends to undermine
American ideals.
Though he expected natives from 9th
er parts of Russia and Austria would
flock home in large numbers" the min
lister declared that "the Ullrainians IRE
here to stay"

The National League Limits
Monthly Payroll to
$1,000
WORLDS SERIES RULES
TO BE CHANGED
Proposal Made to Put the
Participating Players
on Percentage

New York, Jan, l6.-Proposed changes
in the national commission and in the
rules governing the world series, and the
demands made by the minor leagues,
comprised the most important business
at the Joint session here to-day of the
American and National baseball leagues.
1t has been proposed to have a oneman
national commission or if that PROPOSE
ton failed of sufficient support, its back
ers asked for a neutral chairman if the
three man commission was continued.
Changes in the rules governing the
worlds series suggested by the National
league would include placing the players
on percentage basis as far as the money
awards are concerned, dividing a portion
OF the players pool among the players of
the four leading clubs, as was done last
year, and the organization decided that
the club participating should turn back
to the league treasury so per cent of its
share of the gate receipts instead of %
per cent as in the past.
No major league official would discuss
the demands of the minors, which the
officials of the smaller leagues said must
be answered by 6 o'clock tomorrow even
ing.
Among the many baseball men the rad
ical action of the National league in lin
iting each clubs payroll for the coming
season to $ll 600 a month continued to
be topic of great interest 1t was
pointed ont that this limits the payrolls
for the season to approximately $57 600
and means a reduction in some cases Of
more than $4,000 from the figures
reached by clubs in recent years.

AMERICAN PUBLISHERS
ASK PUNISHMENT
Proposed That German Leaders and
Their Agents Be Dealt with for
Piracy, Murder and Pillage.

London, Jan. l6 correspondence of the
Associated Press Editors and publish.
ers of American trade journals who re-
Gently visited the former battle fronts
in France, sent letter to President Will
son during his stay in England in which
they proposed punishment for the Ger
man leaders and their agents for piracy,
murder and pillage. The communica-
tion was signed by Horace M. SHETLAND
Of the New York Business Publishers
association, and nine others from New
York, Boston and Chicago
After stating that they had visited the
battlefelds, ruined cities and obliterated
villages Of Belgium and France, they
added in their letter:
"The devastation and ruin wrought are
not the work Of one man or group Of
men. They are the result of a system
the policies of which have been executed
with thoroughness by willing people.
The evidences of organized pillage and
vandalism are on every hand.
Every law presupposes a penalty for
it's violation. The laws Of nations that
civilization has so painfully built up
through the centuries have been wanton-
" violated for four long years. To fail
to enforce these laws now would be tatit
" to concede the power Of repeal by
the criminals themselves. These laws
must be re-established. To our minds,
the enforcement Of complete restitution
and reparation by the people of Germany
and the punishment Of the leaders and
their guilty agents for the crime com
mitted in violation of existing laws
against piracy, murder and piIlage will
do more than anything else could to IN
sure that future laws made by agree
ment of the nations will be observed
1--WE are writing this to you, knowing
that the sentiments expressed would
receive the support of all Americans,
could they see these things as we have
seen them and hear the terrible evidence
from the Inns Of the uuhappy victims"

HELPING TO RID RUSSIA
OF BOLSHEVISM SCOURGE
Russian Orthodox Church Is Taking a
Leading Role in Movement to Es-
tablish Russia on Firm
Foundation.

Shenkursk, Russia, Jan. Is, via Lon
don correspondent of the Associated
Press The Russian orthodox church is
taking a leading role in the effort to
rid Russia of bolshevism and its attend
ant anti-religious trend. The Associated
Press correspondent recently visited
scores of villages along the Dwina and
Vaga rivers behind the Russo Allied
army's lines and found everywhere the
church the strongest influence among
the peasants against the bolsheviki and
favoring the allies, and every village has
one or more splendidly built church, re.
CARELESS of the community's poverty.
In this little town, far up the Vaga
river near the line of the Vologda gov
eminent, there are four beautiful
churches and an ancient convent Moth
er Raphelia, the superior in charge, re-
eeived the correspondent. The mothers
pale, unwrinkled, old face lighted up en-
Enthusiastically when the correspondent
asked her to explain what part the
church will play in Russia's regeneration
when the bolsheviki are gone.

we have gone on living through these
troubled times, sometimes disturbed, but
always feeding the poor and learning
from the peasants, who are Russias real
people, that they are still with God.
And Shenkursk is like hundreds of other
towns. The same holds true every
where. Some people say that the church
is losing its influence. That is not true. "
Shenkursk was in the hands of the boil
sheviki for only a short time as the eiti-
zens drove out eommissar and his wife
who were sent from Moscow to organize
the bolsheviki there. During that short
time the bolsheviki made several efforts
to confiscate the converts property and
once demanded a payment of $4,000 ru-
bles.
"One day." Mother Raphelia told the
correspondent, zone of my nuns came
to me and said the bolsheviki were down
stairs, eating the dinner we had prepared
for the poor, and wanted to arrest me.

Most Of the nuns in the Shenkursk

There are only few drawn from the

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect Il
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp. Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer h CO., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure and
mention the Barre Daily Times.--Adv.

Coal-Here and Elsewhere.

The county fuel administrator in Wa
tertown, N. Y, is embarrassed by the
great amount of coal that is being poured
in on the city. In fact, the conditions
became such that shipments had to be
stopped, as there was no more storage
room and already it had arrived in such
quantities that dealers had to leave it
in the cars and pay demurrage charges.
This is the gist Of an interview given by
the enthusiastically name is Edward
n. Smith if anyone wants to verify it
which appeared in last Fridays issue Of
the Watertown Daily Times.
Reading such a statement as this from
an official source does not tend to in
crease the contentment of Eermonters
who are short of coal and are told that
there is little probability that they will
be able to get any more, One quite nat
urally wonders why we should be so
short here while only a comparatively
few miles away coal is 80 abundant that
shortage capacity is filed, cars are used
despite heavy demurrage charges, and
future shipments have had to be called
of.
This argues that an unusual amount of
coal mas poured IN on WATERFOWL, more,
one almost feels certain, than was re-
ceiyed in peace time, since the storage
capacity is more than used up. And here
we are as We are. And why? No really
satisfactory reason has yet been given
the public Perhaps it will be forthcom-
ing some day and our children may be
able to read it in the books of history
that win follow the war.
of course, New York had an increased
allotment this year over last. And so
did Vermont. But while Vermont's in
crease was only AIS per cent, New York's
was 1889, almost three times as great.
The percentage Of increased allotment is
interesting. Keeping in mind that Yer
monts was AS per cent, the other New
England states were favored as follows
Maine, 1856; New Hampshire, 1907
Massachusetts,, 1915; Rhode Island,
20.53; and Connecticut, 1852. The seat
of government made sure that it would
keep warm, for one notices that the in
crease for the District of Columbia was
1859.

Russian Children Learning to Play.

"The children of the Russian refugees
are hungry for play" writes Miss Eliz-
abeth Dickerson, Y. W. c. A. secretary,
who has been directing playground work
in various Russian cities. Their play
seems to be without energy and joy
not because they have lost the play in
stinct, but because Of lack of play
leaders to teach them how to get fur
out of their play
When the Y. W. c. A. first sent word
through the little villages along the
Volga that there would be games for tho
children on the village squares, whole
towns turned out to play or to look on
in wonder, Most of the children were
barefoot, They were timid at first and
many of them did not understand the
purpose of the secretaries.
Have you brought us bread2" they
would ask, when the games started
However, they lost their timidity and
shouted or laughed in the excitement Of
winning. In one town where there was
a monastery for girls from Ii to 20 years
the secretaries persuaded the sister ia
send the girls to play They came &C
strong, but at first they were afraid to
laugh or bend for fear they would soil
their dresses. Before long, however, they
we're romping with an abandon which
they had probably never known,
These refugee children have seen SC
much of sorrow that they have forgotten
they are children" Miss Dickerson
writes, "and it is only through intelli.
gent play leadership that we can bring
back that spirit of joy that should be
theirs"
The Y. W, c. A. plans to open kinder
gartens for small children and to estab.
lish centers for competition and teach
play among older children.

PEANUT CROP SHORT.
Texas Product Affected BY Unfavorable
Weather Conditions.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. l6.--A shortage of
peanuts has resulted from unfavorable
weather conditions in Texas last sum
mer, according to big dealers here, B. W.
Higginbotham, one of the leading buyers,
said the Texas crop this year would be
only rs per cent Of normal
The severe drought last summer pre-
vented farmers from raising more than a
small share of their usual crop. The
drought was followed by excessive rains
that caused damage before the peanuts
had reached maturity.
The government estimate showed that
100000 bushels Of peanuts were raised
in Texas in 1917. One section which in
1917 produced 1000 carloads, this year
produced only 300 carloads
Conditions in east and south Texas
were better than in northwest Texas,
which heretofore has been the principal
district of production.

MUCH WILD GAME.
Relieved Monotony of Bully Beef for
American Soldiers.


With the American Forces on Dvina,
Jan. l6 correspondence Of the Associ-
ated Press Wild turkey, ducks, grouse
and big edible jack rabbits have relieved
the monotony of bull beef and timed
stew in the mess halls of the American
forces fighting the bolsheviki on the
Dvina. The Yanks are operating in a
famous hunting country and most of
them spend their hours of leave in chas-
ing game. The few shot guns available
are in almost constant use and some of
the soldiers have developed almost un.
canny craftsmanship in bringing down
ducks with their service rifles.
The marshy country is a ducks para
disc, and there are thousands upon thous-
ands of a quail-like bird called the "rab-
chik. When the winter drives the ducks
south there win be bears to hunt in the
woods.
One of the billets where Americans are
located at one river town was originally
built as hunting lodge for the late EN-
peror Nicholas who, however, was i'm
prisoned before he had chance to use
it, Now, over the huge fire place in the
Kitchen, the logs crackle under stew pots
filled by the Americans rifles.
