JAPAN RE|TERATES INTENTION ID
 HOLD ISLANDS IN PACIFIC
Will Also Insist on Execu. tion of Agreement With
 China.

Paris, Feb. 11-Japan has re- iterated it's intention to hold the Marshal and Caroline Is- lands in the Pacific which she took from Germany during the war, as we'll as to insist upon
 he execution of her agreement reached in September last with China regarding Shantung. A formal statement to this effect by Japanese representatives has been made public here.
 It is not considered that the Chino Japanese controversy or Japan's claims regarding the Pacific islands are likely to delay the Society of Ma tions project. It seems probably, however, that these matters will be considered later by that organization.
 Considerable space is being given the Chino-Japanese controversy by the French newspapers.
 To meet doubts cast upon it's au- thority, the Chinese delegation has published cablegrams received from Shanghai, the provincial legislature of Shantung and the Chinese society for & League of Nations at Picking. These cablegrams overwhelmingly favor the activities of the delegation and direct thai thera be raC+i+1+fo,, +o Cbi,o of properties in Shantung.

Boy Babies Arrive.

From Reading comes the news that
Berks county babies are very largely
male. If there are those who consider
this a phenomenon. they are little
acquainted with history. It is the uni.
versal experience that Immediately
after any war the birth rate rises and
males are in the majority. This is the
way in which nature cares for her
own, although no scientist has been
able to give any satisfactory explana-
ton Of the fact.
Unless this reproduction Of the de-
stroyed sex was universal we should
soon have one-sided world in the
matter of sex. We have had wars from
time immemorial and many of them
have been extremely bloody, but the
average of the sexes has been main
tanned to the satisfaction of humanity
Nature is good to her own and pre-
serves by curious methods a balance
which is beneficial to the race. Twenty
years from now the world population
will be greater than In 1914, even II

BONUS WILL BE PAID.
Continued from Page IL

$50 to those teachers who have not
previously taught therein, said bonus to
be paid one quarter at the end of
three months, one quarter at the end
of six months and the balance at the
end of the school year.
In seconding this resolution George
L. Durham spoke at some length on
the need of paying the teachers of the
public schools better salaries. He said
that while the cost of living in Brat
tleboro had increased more than so per
cent during the past FIVE years, teach
ers salaries had increased but 10 per
cent, and he gave statistics showing
that many of the teachers had been
obliged to depend on outside sources of
income and even then had been unable
to save any money for use in profes-
ures showing that teachers salaries in
Greenfield, Northampton and other
Massachusetts towns and cities were
much higher than here.
There was some discussion as to the
exact meaning of Mr. Austin's reso-
luton and in reply to inquiry he stated
that he had intended it to give the
teachers what they lad asked for.
| namely, increases of 500 and $50 in
addition to the salaries the prudential
committee already had decided upon
| for the ensuing year. 1t was his under
standing that the total would mean an
increase of about 1900, or % per cent.
, The resolution was passed unanimously.
Mr.. Austin then moved that a tax of
SO cents, payable at once, be levied on
| the grand list, and this was voted.
On motion of H. p Wellman the sal
| aries of the members of the prudential
| committee We're raised as above stated
| and on motion of Mr.. Austin those of
| the other officers of the district were
| left the same as Last year.

TO PROTECT GREAT ORCHARD.
Open Zone Established Around Buxton
Property in Middletown Springs.

RUTLAND. July 16.-Statc Fish and
Gamble Commissioner Linus Leavcns of
Cambridge is in the county today to cs-
tablish an open zone for the killing of
deer about the apple orchard owned
by b. c. Buxton of Middletown Springs.
The orchard, which contains over lO,-
GOO trees, is one of the largest in the
county and was set out five years ago
about the same time that the MacRae
orchard was started at Castleton Cor
ners.
An open zone was established about
the MacRae orchard SIX weeks ago
and since that time only three deer
have been shot within this district.
Although Mr.. Buxton has not had an
open zone established about his orchard
because of his absence from the
state he has employed man who has
been watching the orchard and on one
occasion when a deer was doing dam
age the animal was shot.
There have been other applications
made for open zones about commercial
orchards III the state, one owned by
George E. L. Badlam and situated al
Ferrisburg, near Lake Champlain, and
another owned by Mrs. Chaplin and 10
Gated at East Pittsford. Both these
applications will be considered by Mr.

KEPT TRADITIONS OF ARMY
British Government Made Wise Move
When 1t Refused to Create New
~ Regiments.

IT was q wise decision on the part
Of the \ British government to create
no new regiments when they entered
the great war. Instead, the number
of battalions in existing regiments
was increased. Many of these regi-
mcnts were very old, and about them
hung the traditions Of a glorious past.
In unitingN himself to such az body as
the Royal Scots, the Welsh Fusilier
or the Black Watch, as the case might
be, man uncDnsciously lost the
sharpness Iof his own individuality in
the eager DESIRE to conform to the
TRADITIONAL characteristics of a great
company. He was, in way, no
longer John Doe or Richard Roe, but
the Royal Scots, the Welsh Fusiliers
guardian of the usages of an age-old
organization, exemplar of its soldier
~ conduct Proud of his regiment, he
was taught to prove his pride in his
manner and dress.
1t was with the view of emphasiz-
ing every detail of this pride that
British military authorities decided
to replace the bronze buttons of uni
forms with buttons of brass, which
the soldiers are required to polish
daily. Even in the trenches officers
and ment must. SHAVE daily, and when,
after q week Of hard fighting and
sometimes short rations, the remnant
of battalionsis relieved, 1t is required
to march at attention with parade
ground precision, as it leaves the
trenches for its holiday rest in the
rear. 1t is this rigid subsection to
every detail that has in part made
possible the heroic stand that British
troops have made against a more
numerous foe. Their lines bent back
but they did not break; they lost bill
by bit the ground they fought over, but
never their fighting spirit, their cohe,
siveness, their esprit de corps.-Cen.

Mexico Will Pay Interest on Debts

WASHINGTON, July l6.-Murdcrers
of a number of American citizens in Mex

by the Mexican government, which
through expenditure Of two-thirds of the
republics revenues in the work of pacl-
fication is slowly restoring order, it was
said by Ngnacio Bonilas, Mexican ambas-
sador to the United States, who has just
returned to Washington after a month S
visit at Mexico City.
y The statement by the ambassador was
the first announcement by any Mexican
-flical of authority that any of the per-
petrators of the murders of American
citizens, which have been the subject OF
numerous representations to the Carranza
government had been captured and dealt
with
The ambassador added that bandits and
rebels in all parts of the country were lay
ing down their arms and returning tc
their homes to till the land. To aid III
this movement, he said, the government
was distributing trainloads of agricultural
implements.
Mexico's first duty, the ambassador as
serted, was to put down instructions
and for that reason large sums of money
were being spent in pacihcation. This
work, he said, was slow, largely because
the government could not obtain sufficient
arms and ammunition. He announced
that he would request the United States
government to permit the importation o
4nore munitions to be used in wiping' ou
the rebels and bandits and in protecting
the lives Of nationals and foreigners alike
When the pacihcation of Mexico had beer
accomplished, he said, the revenue now
devoted to this end would lie used TOWARD
paying off the interest on tie foreign debt
