Sary

PARIS, Friday, March 2l (Associa-
ted Prcss)-A special session of both
houses of the American congress will
probably to called to assemble about
the middle of May, the date when Pres
ident Wilson hopes to return to the
United States. If the treaty of peace
is sufficiently advanced to warrant such
a course, a special session of the sen
ate may be called even earlier to afford
it opportunity to deal with the subject
before being called upon to direct its
attention TO other important matters,
chief of which will be financial affairs.
1t IS held to be unnecessary for Pres
dent Wilson 10 be in Washington
when the call for such special session
is issued as this may be cahled from
Paris in advance of his departure from
France He has reached no decision
regarding the question, however, and is
reserving the shaping of his course of
action until he has a more definite idea
of the date of his return to America.
He is keeping in touch with develop
ment Of sentiment in United States to-
ward league of nations. If the sit
uation appears to him to demand such
action it is not unlikely that shortly
after his return from Europe he will
make an extended speaking tour pre-
senting his views of the issue directly
to the voters IN the states whose sena
tors are opposed to the ratification OF
the league plan.

Alden Brothers of Boston to
Stop Buying in This
County
MAY RESULT IN
LOCAL SEPARATION
Delegation Including County Agent
Frost Goes to Boston to See What
Can Be Done Toward Retaining Mar
ket for County Producers.

Much concern Is felt by many farmers
in Windham county on account OF the
receipt of notice from Alden Brothers
Of Boston this week that after March 81
the Alden Brothers milk car from this
county will be discontinued
A carload of milk is picked up every
morning by r. J. Goodell of Brattleboro,
agent for Alden Brothers, on the trip
from here to Bellows Falls, and the notice
that this service was to be discontinued
gave the farmers somewhat of shock, as
they are at a loss to know what to do
with the milk after this month
County Agent Wayland p. Frost OF
Brattleboro and Henry W. Frost, Robert
Loomis, Howard Loomis and Harry Tar
box of Putney have gone to Boston to
meet Alden Brothers and officials OF the
New England Milk Producers association
and to discuss the situation and see if
some arrangement can be made for contin-
| uing the Boston market
Alden Brothers gave no reason for their
decision TO discontinue the car, and so
| far as is known here the only reason Is
that there is an over-supply of milk in
| the Boston market.
| The farmers in this section are being
paid about nine cents quart, which nets
| them about eight cents quart after Ger
tain deductions are made Henry W.
Frost, whose farm is in East Putney,
ships about 400 quarts day, and there
are other large shippers in that town.
av,L- Do. af.ar- . H.
about 200 quarts a day In Vernon Ar
| thur L. Miller sends an average of about
240 qtarts a day to the Aldens and a
like amount is shipped from there by 4.
c. & \. L. Barnes.
The president of the Windham county
branch of the New England Milk Pro-
ducers' association is F. l.. Parmelee of
Putney, who is i'll with pneumonia and
was unable to go to Boston with the
others. Mr.. Parmelee ships to the Brig
ham firm in Boston, which concern also
takes a large amount from Bellows Falls
and places near there, and it is the hope
of the producers in this county whose
market is threatened that some arrange
ment will be made with Brigham if the
Aidens do not conclude TO continue 10
receive the output.
i Ii no arrangement can be made with
either the Aldens or Brigham it will be
up to the farmers to get together and
work out some plan for the disposition of
their milk Each farmer could buy
equipment and separate his milk, which
would involve considerable expense. and
there has been talk in East. Putney OF es-
tablishing separating plant and sending
the cream to the creameries, but the

self ly adhering to the covenant shall
consent. or the covenant itself shall not
interfere with the internal affairs of

Delegates TO the conference Of neu-
trails devoted considerable time today
10 the discussion of the article of league
of nations covenant which provides for
coercivc rmcasurcs against a state
breaking relations with the league
without submitting It's grievances to
the executive body of the league.
Amendments were prepared stipulating
that force might be used only in ease
of necessity; that it might be brought
to bear only after economic pressure
had been insufficient, and that five
states might decline TO take warlike
steps.
Lord Robert Cecil, who presides said
that if small states were allowed to re
frain from military action the forces
of other states should be given pcrmis-
sion to pass over their territory. The
premier of Greece declared incidentally
during the discussion that purely de-
fcnsive alliances should be allowed un-
der the league Of nations covenant. The
principle that argument should be re-
duccd to minimum was recognized by
the conference.
