NOTICE TO MERCHANTS
AND SToREKEEPERS

There is to be no more burning of rub
bish or anything else in the fire district
outside or near buildings without per-
NIT from the chief of the fire depart
ment. This also means that wastes can
not be burned in the metal containers
which are commonly used throughout the
business district This rule shall be en-
forced from now on, beginning to-day.
This condition was made by Chief A.
G. Preble after a great many inyestiga-
tions of the surroundings of different
buildings in the business sections showed
conditions were hazardous to the mer-
camille district, especially at the rear of
the stores that protrude into Enterprise
alley, near the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad tracks. In several instances
merchants were warned to have their
back yards cleared of all debris and
waste within a specified time, as they
were menace to public health. All
rubbish and waste must be caTted to the
city dump and burned hereafter.
In the past few weeks the new chief
has been aequainting himself with fire
preventive conditions throughout the city
and finds them lacking in great many
instances. Owners of residential and
public buildings have been informed that
proper fire escapes must be installed
soon. Garage owners and small mer-
chants who deal in gasoline and oils were
found to be rather careless in handling

The Shame of Shanfunq
iFrom the Ne W York suns

The price which President Wilson
paid TO Japan for her acquiescence in
his nebulous and shifting scheme Of
world reorganization is written in three
articles Of the peace treaty which re-
late 10 Kiao- Chau and the great Chinese
province Of Shantung. 1t is declared In
some quarters that these articles were
written In Toxic and dictated to Presi-
dent Wilson in Paris at the time when
his voices in the air were becoming
unsteady and his visions on the hori-
zon dim.
International morality Is more con-
cerned. we think, in the part which
the President Of the United States play
ed in his bargained outrage on a friend
ly and allied nations right than In the
part Of the Japanese statesmen at home
and In the conference. Japan is pur-
suing a policy Of national expansion
and territorial aggrandlzement which
can be censured, from her own point OF
view. only II equal condemnation Is ap-
piled TO the processes by which the
British Empire has grown so mighty,
by which France has extended her pos
sessions in three continents, by which
Italy is becoming a greater nation and
by which a considerable portion of our
own republican territory in the South
west and on the Pacific coast was in
the past acquired. Selfish interest and
economic ambition. sometimes in the
guise Of manifest destiny have con
rolled such matters since the world
