Continued front page u

The Caledonian today prints for the
first time the complete program of
the day. 1t is easily seen that the
great crowd that is coming into st.
Johnsbury will not find dull mo-
ment from sunrise to midnight.
Members of the Fourth of July
committee Indignantly deny report
that reached outside towns that
money was to be collected for the
different public events. Not penny
can be spent in St. Johnsbury on the
Fouth so far as the celebration in
honor of the soldiers and sailor heroes
of the Great War are concerned. Gen
erous citizens, bankers, and stores
have contributed enough money to
take care of all the big events of the
day so that everything so far as the
celebration is concerned will be
FREE.
The Soldiers Welcome committee
have engaged three bands for the eel,
ebration and there will be band con-
certs throughout the afternoon anc
evening. The st. Johnsbury Band
the St. Gabriel's Band and the Bar
ton Band have been secured and ex
cellent music is assured.
The executive committee have ar
ranged for a special train from Hard
wick and all stations east to st
Johnsbury which will be run Friday
under the following schedule: Leaves

STU. WOMAN'S CLUB
ANN'LLAWN PARTY
A GREAT SUCCESS
Was a Large Attendance
With a Most Pleasing
Program
TOLD OF BARRE WORK
An Enjoyable Afternoon Ended With
Most Pleasant Social Hour
and Refreshments
TOLD OF BARRE WORK

Under smiling skies the annua
lawn party of the st. Johnsbury
Woman's club was a great success
with alarge attendance, and a unique
and most pleasing program. Mrs
French, the Club president, presided
and the secretary, Mrs. Alvin Flint
after reading the minutes of the last
meeting gave resume of Prof.
Flint's lecture on "Town Meeting
which he gave at the previous meet
ing. In few well chosen words Mrs.
Able Brooks told about the work ac-
complished at Barre last month at
the State Federation meeting, the
two watchwords of the whole gath
ering seeming to be "Americaniza-
ton" and Education"
The Music and Social committee
had the program in charge.
The first number on the program
for the afternoon was a cornet solo
by Robert Merrill, after which the au-
dience was very glad one of the
young ladies who were to take part
in the next number was late as Miss
Lola French filled in with a piano
solo and Miss Marjorie French read
two most amusing selections which
were very much appreciated. The
first selection was written by Mrs.
French and proved highly entertain
ing.
Miss MARJORIE French, Miss Alene
Gilman, Miss Thelma Roman and
Miss Natalie Marden then executed
the "Titkle Toe" dance very grace
fully, especially considering they
danced on the rather uneven asphalt
walk. The next number was the
song "When Twilight Weaves," by a
sextete including Miss Lillian Rich
ards, Mrs. Don Stiles, Mrs. Frank
Marden, Mrs. Mabel Blodgett, Mrs.
Collins Brodien and Mrs. George
Cary with Mrs. Ida Brooks at the
piano. The last number was a charm
ing old fashioned song, Miss Lillian
Richards, soloist, assisted by the four
young ladies who danced in old
fashioned gowns of long ago on the
lawn.
A most enjoyable afternoon ended
with a pleasant social hour and re-
freshments of ice cream and cake
served by Mrs. S. ]. Somerville and
her capable assistants.

ALLIES TO RESUME
TRADE AGAIN WITH
FORMER HUN FOES
United States Same as Allies
When Blockade Is
Lifted
SENATE HAS TO WAIT
The Fall Resolution Is Made Useless
So Far as It's Real Purpose
Is Concerned

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The
blockade of Germany will be lifted
on receipt of information by the Su
perior Blockade Council of the Allies
that the treaty of peace has been rat
flied by Germany.
This modification of the treaty
means that resumption of trade by
the United States with the late
enemy power will not have to wait
upon ratification of the treaty by the
Senate. 1t renders the Fall resolu-
ton, introduced last Monday, useless
as far as its main purpose was con-
cerned.
Announcement of this change in
the situation was made Sunday night
by Acting Secretary of State Phillips,
who gave out this cablegram from
Paris received by the State Depart
ment:
"At a meeting Thursday, June 26,
the Council of the principal allied
and associated powers adopted the
following resolutions in regard to the
raising of the blockade on Germany:
"The Superior Blockade Council is
instructed to base it's arrangements
for resembling restrictions upon
trade with Germany on the
assumption that the allied
and associated powers will not
wait to raise the blockade until the
completion of the ratification as pro-
vided for at the end of the treaty of
peace with Germany, but that it is to
be raised Immediately on the receipt
of the information that the treaty of
peace has been ratified by Germany"
While the final text of the Peace
Treaty as signed at Versailles Satur-
day is still officially withheld, the
provision in Article 440 of the draft
printed in the Congressional Record
and in the New York Times, in the
form in which it was originally pre-
scented to the Germans, had this to
say as to when the treaty was to be-
come effective:
"The deposit of Publications shall
be made at Paris as soon as possible,
Powers of which the seat of Govern
ment is outside of Europe will be en-
titled merely to inform the Gov
ernment of the French Republic
through their diplomatic representa-
tive at Paris that their ratification
has been given; in that case they
must transmit the instrument of rat
ifcation as soon as possible. A first
proces-verbal of the deposit of the
ratification will be drawn up as soon
as the treaty has been ratified by
Germany on the one hand and by
three of the principal allied and asso-
ciated powers on the other hand.
"Irrom the date of this first process
verbal the treaty will come into force
between the high contracting parties
who have ratified it. For the deter
minaiont of all periods of time pro-
vided for in the present treaty this
date will be the date of the coming
into force of the treaty. In all other
respects the treaty will enter into
force for each power at the date of
the deposit of it's ratification"

THE NEW BUS LINE

The Union Transfer Co. is render
ing genuine public service by start
ing the new bus line through the
principal streets of the village. Lack
of street cars to the residential sec
tons has been felt keenly by new
corners to the community usedto the
convenience of an electric transporta-
ton syste \ to save time and distance.
1t will Eke some time to get the
new line into operation and the public
should be patient. But once the
schedule is understood and the route
familiarvto the village people we pre-
dict goodly patronage for the new
business.
The management suggests that
householders cut out the time table
in today's issue and carry it with
them to consult frequently.

True Aristocracy.

Mere democracy cannot solve the So

racy must be introduced into our life.
1 do not mean the aristocracy of birth,
or of the purse, or even the aristoc-

racy of character, of will, of mind.
