Should the League Fail, What?

We do not believe they will, but
should the efforts of President Will
son to establish League of Nations
fail, what of lasting benefit will have
been accomplished by the Peace Con-
ference? Peace was practically ac-
complished and proclaimed by the
armistice and the compliance with its
drastic terms made the resumption OF
hostilities on large scale by the en-
emy impossible at this time. We now
have peace and there will be no more
of the present war. What the Peace
Conference was assembled for was
not to restore peace but to provide
for a permanent peace throughout
the earth for all time, if possible.
The League of Nations was con-
ceived by President Wilson to accom-
plish the desired end, and unless
some iron-clad, international agree
ssest dy5t it'd mars5Gthat "fHfff viii
amount to more than a ''scrap of pa
per-" recurrence of war will not be
an improbable thing. Let US hope that
a League of Nations, as proposed and
earnestly advocated by President Viii
son, will be established. AS for our
part, we would rather follow the lead
ership of men Of the calibre of Presi-
dent Wilson and Ex-President Taft
than the handful of senators who are
severely criticizing our leaders.
If the League of Nations or some
other similar prevention of war is not
adopted by the leading nations of the
earth, when the Peace Conference ad-
journs all of the nations must of
necessity, begin to prepare for an
other war. AS long as Germany is not
restrained by some means, no nation
would be willing to be caught unpre-
pared again. The consequences of un-
preparedness are too unspeakably
horrible.

Coolies CAUSED
MANY CASUALTIES
The European Louise Responsible
For Death Or Disablement
of Million People

London, Jan. 2 (By British Wireless
Service).-Of the insects responsible for
the death or disablement Of hundreds of
thousands in the war zone. the louise is
declared authoritively to have been one
Of the most deadly and to have accounted
for at least a million persons.
That. however, is only rough estimate
and the probability is that the toll was
infinitely higher, for in Serbia alone ty-
phus, a louse-bornt disease infected near
ly one million persons and killed 500 a
day in the little city of Jassy, while two
hundred of the 1900 medical officers in the
country. died from the disease. This dis
ease spread over Russia, Austria. Ger
many and the Balkans generally. A pun
lication prepared by Lieutenant Lloyd
who was chief entomologst in northern
Rhodesia says
'Typhus. one of the most dreaded cpl
demic diseases of man, is entirely due to
the activities of lice. The same remark
applies to relapsng fever over the great
err portion of the world. Still third dis
ease. trench fever, has been placed to the
credit Of the louise, and possibly even now
the full extent of its guilt is not known

PRATT DISCOVERED
LEDGER ERASURE
An $S,66s.S4 Total Changed to
$17,077.35 In Vouchered Col
umn, Says Witness

Montpelier. Jan. THE celebrated
file 4501" was prominent exhibit and
basis of controversy as the defense in
the williams case was closed this
afternoon and the State put on Frank.
lin S. Pratt of Brattleboro in rebuttal.
Respondent Frank c. Williams testi-
fed this morning that he knew of some
of the items In this Ale before 1915,
but said that his first knowledge of the
same being placed to the credit of
Horace +. Graham was in 1918.
Mr.. Pratt traced the several items
through their various channels and
testified that In some cases II was very
doubtful If they could be properly plac-
cd to MIR. Graham's credit The wit
ness also gave some interesting testf-
mony when cross-examined, declaring
that examination by microscope show
ed that n number of changes had been
mado on the distribution ledger by
crasure. One such change being from
total Of ss,66s.s4 in the vouchered
column to a total of s17,O7735. Mr..
Pratt also admitted being employed by
the State to prepare the Graham case
so once more the element OF the pres
ent governors connection with the
| present case was brought out in testi-
mony.
Governor Graham did not take the
stand to-day. although It is known that
| he Is In town and that he was sub
poenaed by tho State.
There were some sharp exchanges be-
| tween counsel and witnesses TODAY
| Attorney General Barber, when he was
! cross examining Williams, showed dis
| pleasure Mt the respondents repetition
Of the phrase, department. voucher" He
said to Mr.. Williams:
'Why do you persist in calling 1t a de-
partment voucher whom It Is only a com
mon receipt
| Because" replied the respondent, ct
shows in a general way what the money
was to be used for"
J Again, when Mr.. Pratt volunteered an
| explanation of why certain e-asures were
made in a certain ledger sheet, j. Ward
Carver. counsel for the defense, said in
a pleasant manner:
Have you said all you want to about
that particular shcet?"
| Yes
| did you understand me to ask YOU
anything about why the erasures were
| made?"
Il Just wanted to explain II to the
jury"
We'll. just answer my questions ana
| L.
and that is all that will be necessary"
| When the respondent testified that he
did not report the fact to the Legisla-
ture that the itemized vouchers were less
than the orders, he was asked by the
attorney general:
Did you ever take pains to ascertain
that Mr.. Graham was drawing sums far
In excess Of his salary"
He answered Yes and queried as to
why he did not report the fact to the
Legislature of 1876 the witness said:
II did not report anything in regard
to that because the orders and the vouch-
ers all balanced except what have tes-
titled to-.
1t looks as though the case would &c
to the jury tomorrow or next day.
The offer of the defense to show by the
reports of the State auditor that the ad.
vances to various State departments and
officers were all reported to the Legis.
lature was overruled by the court.

December Expenditures Were

Nations History

Washington, Jan. lit cost the Amer
lean people about SIS, 1G0 100000 to run its
expensive war government and make loans
to allies in the year ending Dec. 81. ac
cording to computations from treasury
reports.
December expenditures, above two bill
lion dollars, the record of the nations's
history, sent aggregate costs to date to
approximately s24.50O. 900.
OF the SIS, 1G0,0 900. 900 paid out of the treas
ury in 1918 probably $4,000 100000 went for
the army and the general military estab-

lion for other civil government needs and
"a, 150, 600, 600 as loans to Americas broth
ers in arms.
Although the hostilities ceased nearly
two months ago. the governments out
lay each day is mounting on account Of
the liquidation OF tremendous war con-
tracts. and treasury officials said indi-
cations are that the demands on the
government in the first month of the new
year may be even more than for this
month.
With estimates of expenses in the last
few days not yet actually compiled, off,
Gals believe December expenses will run
to $2.100, 900 600. or nearly s90O,000,Co0 moro
than last months high record This
includes nearly $3.50 900, 900 estimated for

That the public has paid only about
one third of the wars expenses, exclud~
ing foreign loans. in taxes in cash and
two thirds as loans to be repaid in
| other generations is indicated by
treasury figures of collections from va
rious sources.
With the last four days of the year
not yet tabulated 1t Is shown that re-
ceipts from taxes. customs and miscel-
laneous revenue amounted to $4,6S7, 063,
900, of which S2,949, 032,000 came from
income and excess profits taxes alone;
$l.124, $4,000 from other federal taxes
