Of the amount credited for Ben

North Bennington.
The quota for Bennington county
was S3219.00 OF which $27540S has
been sent in. Considering the fact
that this came at very inopportune
time when there was a great deal OF
sickness throughout the county, the

should be given because OF the fact
that in most of the states reporting
only about so per cent OF the quota

PLAN REVOLT
IN AME RIGA
Papers Seized in Mail Re-
veal Plot
I. W. W. ARE LEADERS
They with Anarchists and Radical
Socialists are Uniting for
Boishevist Republic

Washington, March 10. - That the
/. w. W., Anarchists, Radical Social
lists and other groups OF extreme
views are combining with the object
of overthrowing the American gov
ernment through bloody revolu-
ton" and establishing Il Bolshevist
republic, was disclosed by memo.
randum from Solicitor General Lamar
of the post.office department, which
was read into the records at the ses-
sion this afternoon of the Senate
Propaganda committee. by Major
Hume, counsel TO the committee.
Mail matter seized since the sign
ing OF the armistice has disclosed
that the l. w. w. anarchists, radical
socialists and others are 'perfecting
an amalgamation" which has for its
object the overthrow Of the American
government through bloody "reyo-
luton" and the establishment of a
Bolshevik republic.
Declaring that in Bolshevism the
radical elements of the country had
for the first time found common
cause upon which they can unite,
Lamar said his information showed
the propaganda against the govern
ment was being conducted with great
regularity and that its magnitude
could be measured by the bold and
outspoken statements" found in the
literature. Accompanying his mem
orandum were several hundred ex-
cerpts from mail matter showing the
trend OF the propaganda. These will
be made public later
Particular reference. was made by
the solicitor to these activities OF the
dissatisfied foreign element in the
country, but he said that perhaps the
II. w, w. was the most active in the
dissemination OF the propaganda be-
cause II has AT its command a large
field force known as recruiting
agents. subscription agents, etc. who
work increasingly in the furtherance
OF "the cause.
The Information furnished by Mr.
Lamar comedies TO an extent with
the statements reiterated today by
Raymond Robins. former head of the
American Red Cross mission in Rus
sin, when he again appeared before a
committee, primarily to answer state
mehts concerning him made Saturday
by David r. Francis, American am,
bassador to Russia.
Mr. Robins insisted that it was the
desire of the Bolshevists to over
throw all the governments of the
world and in their place set up ter
roristic governments similar to those
in Russia. He said he did not know
of his own Knowledge that Bolshvists
from Russia actually were engaged
in trying to achieve this purpose in
the United States, but that he was
convinced certain people here were
engaged in propaganding Bolshevis
ideas.
"The IW.W.." he added, has beer
doing II for twenty years"

NAVY MAY CHANGE
STYLE OF CRUISERS
Sec. Daniels Orders Suspension oi
Work on Six Great Ships Al
ready Authorized

Washington, March Possibility
that the whole battle cruiser program
of the navy, involving the expendi-
ture of nearly half million dollars.
will be abandoned in favor of new
cruiser battleship, was indicated to.
day by an announcement that Secre-
tary Daniels had ordered suspension
OF work on the six 35-knot cruisers
already authorized until a decision as
to the future type OF capitol ship
could be reached.
There is wide difference of opin.
ion among American naval officers as
10 whether the slow battleship and
the fast cruiser shonld not give way
in the future to ship combining the
power OF the one ant~ nearly the speed
of the other and because OF this fact
congressional committees have de-
ferred action on six additional cruis-
ers until full report on the new
types can be made by the department.
II is 10 gather information for this
report that Secretary Daniels and his
three chief technical advisers will
sail Saturday for Europe They Will
be met overseas by Admiral Benson,
chief OF operations and Vice Admiral
Sims and Upon their return some
weeks before Congress meets in ex-
ira session, probably in the early SUM-
mer general conference will be held
at which majority opinion of ex.
perienced officers will be worked out
as 10 what types of capital ships
should be built.
Work on the big ships is now only
in the first stage of their construction
and held up during the war so that
destroyers might be built. Recon-
mendations of the navy department
that six additional battle cruisers be
authorized were stricken from the
naval bill in the last Congress be
cause of the disagreement between
naval officers as TO the kind of capi
tai ship that should be built in the
light of the lessons gained In the war

The former great armies of the
Kaiser are to be reduced to a mere
police force, and other terms, severer
than had been contemplated before,
we're provided for the German Gov;
ernment, which must accept them or
take the consequences.
In connection with this action. it
has been agreed that the German
plenipotentlaries shall be called to
Versailles, possibly as early as March
20, to receive the draft of the pre-
liminary peace treaty, including the
military conditions. The German
plenipotentIaries viii then go to Wei

guide the plenipotentiaries in the for.

1t was Premier Lloyd George who

strength at 100000, or less than hall
