MANY CHECKS NOT DELIVERED.
Persons to Whom They Are Payable
Cannot be Found

The following editorial from the New
York World sounds a note of caution to
persons to whom soldiers allotments are
payable:
Nearly 1000 checks a day are returned
to the War Risk Insurance Bureau be-
cause in most cases persons to whom sol
diers' allotments are payable cannot be
found. 1t would seem a simple matter
that ON moving they should forward no
tiee of changed addresses. The receipt OF
a monthly check of SIS or more from the
government ought to be sufficient in
ducement, but in practice it does not
work out. OF Sl6,000,000 i'll checks now in
the hands of the bureau, the greater part
through the ignorance or carelessness OF
the beneiielaries, has not reached the des-
tination for which it was intended
IF it were possible to devise a system
that would operate with infalliblc aecu
racy, every allotment made by men in the
service would be paid promptly. At the
start the bureau was swamped with work
and endless confusion resulted. With the
instinct for multiplying the details o.
routine that prevails in the Washington
departments, changes in methods We're IN
troduced from which arose further de
1 lays and mismanagement. Of the crlti
cisin that was heaped upon the War Risl
| Insurance Bureau much was deserved
but no amount of foresight could hav

| cising reasonable care in their own at

But that only tells part of the story.
There are thousands Of more dollars
expended by the state officers for hotel
bills which are covered up under the
item of travelling expenses. The few
items printed here runs into much
larger sum than the salaries and mile
age of the entire legislature-and the
members of the legislature are not
paid by the state for their hotel bills.
They have to pay them out of their
per diem salary.
1t is safe guess to say that the
hotels of Vermont get $4,000 a year
out of state offices, the payment of
some being made from the state treas
ury. Then the people wonder why state
expenses are mounting up. And some
real business men wonder why there is
such an itching for Office. Fat living

The extent of the guarantee which the
United States and Great Britain have
given to the French as security against
renewed German attacks continues to be
the foremost topic in the French press,
The French representatives maintaing
that the guarantee takes the form OF an
alliance. The Matin says
This alliance has already been drawn
in the form of very brief test .stipulat-
ing that the three powers will give each
other mutual support if Germany attacks
us again. The signature of the stipula
tion will occur at the same time as the
signing of the treaty
The American officials withhold all
comment on these reports. 1t is known,
however, that number of proposals have
been brought forward designed to give a
more prompt and more effective guaran-
tee of military assistance to the French
than the League of Nations affords

Not Empowered to Sign the
Treaty-Wants the Terms
Taken to Berlin for Cabi-
net or People to Act Upon
Allies Insist that Treaty
Must Be Accepted or Re
jected at Versailles
(Associated Press. J

The situation caused by Italy's un-
yielding attitude toward Fiume and the
Dalamatian coast has reached critical
stage Representatives of Great Britain,
France and Italy, the three nations which
with Russia signed the treaty Of London
in 1915 before the entry of Italy into
the war on the side of the entente, were
in conference yesterday and today at
Paris. President Wilson did not attend
either session.
The Italian parliament, which was to
meet this week, will not convene until
May 6. President Wilson has stood out
against recognition of the treaty Of Lon
don upon which Italy's claims are based.
In spite of the warning sent to Ger
many by the peace conference that the
delegates she sends to the conference
must not be mere messengers, Germany
has selected rather unimportant persons
to 90 to Versailles. Berlin advices say
these men will have the power merely to
receive the peace terms and take them
to Berlin The German cabinet will then
either accept, or reject or submit them te
the people.
Dispatches from Paris however, re
fleet rather positive attitude on the
part of the conference, which it is said
will inform Germany that the men sh'
sends must have power to sign the treaty
1t is said that the first act of the meeting
probably to be held on April p will be t
demand evidence from the Germans tha
they possess such powers.
