represented only by its veteran associa-

300 Others who have been transferred to
the depot brigade for an indefinite stay.

DROVE CAR WITHOUT LICENSE.
Was the Charge Brought Against F. w.
Childs of Brattleboro.

Brattleboro, April 20--Maj. r. W.
Childs was in the municipal court yester-
day to answer TO a charge of operating
an automobile without license. He was
arrested by Chief of Police George Will
son and the complaint was made out by
States Attorney Harrie B. Chase. Ma
jor Childs did not enter a plea, but asked
to have the case put over until next
Monday in order that he could consult
his attorney, and Judge Cudworth com
piled with the request, that being agree
able to all concerned.
The officer saw Major Childs driving
his car with last years number plate
and on investigation learned that he had
no operators license.
Major Childs felt that the violation
was only technical at best, as he sent
money TO the secretary Of state for
license and the secretary of state ac-
knowledged its receipt but stated that
80, cents more was, needed because of
an increase in the fee He showed docu-
ments to prove this and said also that
an automobile dealer told him il would
be all right to drive his car under those
circumstances.
States Attorney Chase says there is to
be more rigid enforcement of the auto
mobile laws and that owners and drivers
of cars should take notice and govern
themselves accordingly.

DEFENDS BURLESoN.
Senator Borah Says Postmaster General
Is Not to Blame But
Congress Is.

Washington, d. c., April 29.-Blame
for much of the severe criticism Of Post.
master General Burleson was placed on
Congress to-day by Senator Borah of
idaho, Republican who said the post
master general was only exercising the
laws which Congress enacted conferring
drastic and unlimited powers under the
guise of war powers.
The best remedy, the senator said.
would be for Congress to repeal these
laws.
Congress has granted Mr.. Burleson, I"
Senator Borah said, unlimited, unde
fined, drastic and arbitrary powers:
granted them in violation of the most
fundamental and cherished principles of
free government. We granted these pow
ers under the glise of war necessity, but
no necessity existed for any such grant
of powers. War upon the part of re-
public never necessitates the sacrifice of
the fundamental principles upon which
the republic is organized
HE is not exercising any authority
not within the provisions of the law,
which Congress passed If he is exer-
cising it arbitrarily, how did Congress
expect arbitrary laws to be executed ex-
eept in an arbitrary way2 If he is exer-
cising that power despotically, how did
Congress expect the laws to be executed
except in despotic wayg They are
cruel, arbitrary and at war with every
principle of free government and should
be repealed
For Mr.. Burleson to be dismissed and
to leave these laws upon the statute
books would indeed be a travesty. If
we do not want arbitrary power exer-
cised in this country, the law making
body is the body to appeal to and not
to some administrative officer"

FRENCH PRESS COOL
TO THE LEAGUE PACT
All the Newspapers Point Out That
Great Concessions Were Made BY
France in the Completion of 1t.

Paris, April 29.--The covenant of the
league OF nations arouses little enthusi-
asm in the Paris press. Many of the
principal newspapers abstain from com.
ment altogether. Loeuvre, which has
always been champion Of the league
and of President Wilson, says:
Speaking generally, we are bound to

France must be due to promises or spe-
cial guarantees which viii be known. per-
haps, when diplomacy is no longer Sc

Writing in Echo de Paris, "Pertinax,"

great concessions were made by France.

these concessions amount to surrender.

STANDARD 8-HOUR DAY
FOR ALL NATIONS FIXED
BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS

viding for the trial of the former Ger
man emperor by five judges from the
great powers. This report was handed
in by the council of four and embodies
in the peace treaty provision for the
former emperor's prosecution. This
however, has not as yet been adopted by
the plenary conference.
The plenary session of the peace con-
ference opened at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon in the French foreign office
under circumstances of unusual interest
because of the fact that it was to be one
of the last sessions before the meeting
with the German delegates at Versailles
that final action was to be taken on
some main features of The peace treaty,
notably the league of nations, respon-
sibility for the war and the trial of the
former German emperor and others, and
because important labor clauses were to
be inserted in the treaty.
For the first time at the conference
sessions, Italy was not represented, and
the five seats of Premier Orlando and
his colleagues at the right of NJ. Clemen-
ceau, the presiding officer, remained va
cant. The other delegations presented
full ranks, and the scene was stirring as
the French premier opened the session.
President Wilson was recognized at
the outset for detailed explanation of
the new covenant of the league. His
speech was without oratorical effect, and
confirmed the explanation of the textual
changes, most of which have already
been noted, and named Belgium, Brazil,
nf,1 4 L.. LA .x.a,l
and also on the committee to prepare
plans for the first meeting of the league.
Baron Maxine, head of the Japanese
delegation, in a brief speech, called re-
newed attention to the Japanese amend
ment on racial equality. He said that
the race question was a standing griev-
anee which might become a dangerous
issue at any time. The Japanese govern
ment and people, Baron Maxine declared,
felt poignant regret that the amendment
had not been Incorporated in the cove
nant and announced that an effort would
be made to have the principle of racial
equality adopted as part of the docu-,
ment.
Paul Hymans, representing Belgium,
expressed the regret of the Belgian peo-
PIE III une seiecClOn OF OeneVa as the seat
of the league of nations, while approving
the high aims of the league.
Leon Bourgeois, former premier, spoke
for France. He said that the French
amendments to the league, including a
demand for an International army and
police force and the limitation and veri-
fication Of ornaments of all nations had
not been adopted. France, however,
would sign the pact, NJ Bourgeois de-
claRed.
The South American representatives
expressed approval at great length be-
fore the covenant was adopted. During
this part of the afternoon distinct rest
lessness was noticeable, President Will
son walking over to a friend, and Pre-
mier Lloyd George disappearing from the
room.
When the decision was taken President
Wilson was surrounded by delegates and
friends who congratulated him on the
constitution of the league which he had
steered past many quicksands.
