London, Jan. GA 7. Nicholson, the
Paris correspondent Of the Daily News,
telegraphs:
GAS the question OF the secret treaties
made during the war is referred to from
time to time. it is of interest to state
that I am hearing on trustworthy au-
thority that the view taken by the Allies
who signed such treaties is this:
1.-THE treaties signed between the other
Powers and Russia are abrogated by
the Russian revolution only 50 far as
those parts relating TO Russia are con-
cerned. while the parts concerning the
remaining sigma ries hold good rs treaty
obligations. At tie same time the view
is taken in British circles that SO much
has happened since-America's entry
into the war and later eveuts---that it
is profoundly desirable that the con-
ference as a whole should regard such
agreements as modified by these later
events.
America, which was not a party 20
such agreements. takes the strong line
that this is so, and will make that view
felt.
"The agreement between France and
Russia of February. 1917. which pro-
vided for the Rhineland as an autono-
nous and neutral state, of course, falls
to the ground.
THE treaty Of London of 1915. signed
by Great Britain, France. Russia and
Italy. is what the italian claims are
founded on. The Russian clauses drop
out. but the clauses remaining prescribe
q smaller territory to the Jugo-SlaNs,
though Fiume was Allotted to them.
To Italy went the Grentino. lstria,
Southern Tyrol. Gorilla, Gradisca. the
Dalmatian province, number OF the
Adriatic Islands and the DodeConese
Islands.
THE agreement of the same Allies
with Rumania in February, 1918, in
alluded the Rumanian claim to the
Banat, which is now opposed by the
Serbians
"A memorandum on Turkey in the
spring of 1915 made by Great Britain
France and Russia. holds good diplo-
matically between Great Britain and
France. except for the dropped Russian
clauses. It was by this that France
claimed the coastal strip of Syria and
the vilayet of Adana. and Great Britain
south Mesopotamia, with Bagdad ana
the Syrian ports OF Haifa and acre.
The Persian and China agreements
fall out. but | understand that there Is
an agreement of Japan with the Allies
giving Japan possession Of the Caroline
and Marshall Islands. in the Pacific
This is strongly opposed by Australia
1T will be seen from this outline what
far-reaching notifications will be re-
quired in the interests Of common
agreement"

he told of deplorable conditions in such
an institution in Washington county
and of information reaching the board
OF considerable number of dependent,
neglected, delinquent, and in many in
stances even physically and mentally
defective, children and said that meas
ures were being taken to cope with the
situation. He said that hundreds of
cases had been reported where children
were living under conditions and cir.
cumstances so degrading, so immoral,
so unsanitary as to seriously affect
their future welfare.
In this connection he told of a case
which was investigated Feb IA, last.
nine children being brought into court.
Five of them were without shoes and
stockings and all were without under.
clothing. One boy, u years of age,
had pieces Of carpet tied about his legs
in place of trousers and a little girl
had crawled under a box stove and
fallen asleep and her back had become
blistcred before she was aroused; the
legs of another girl of seven or eight
had been frozen so many times that the
capillary circulation nau burst IN many
places; conditions about the home were
filthy.
Then he told of boy who had been
taken by the board after being aban-
doned by his father. of the improve
ment that he had shown. and said that
he would graduate this spring from the
Vail Agricultural school aud that the
board had $3.50 in the savings bank
to his credit
In closing, he spoke of the proposed
amendment to the laws, which were
presented at the last session of the leg
islature for child welfare, saying it re-
ceived the vote and support of both
the Windham county senators and all

length Prof. Winslow spoke of the at

Drawing to the conclusion of his adj
dress Prof. Winslow referred to the war

After one verse of America was sung
the evening program closed.
The closing session of the conference
began about 9.45 o clock this morning
when letter of greeting was read from
Mrs. Frederick Schoff, national presi-
dent of the Congress OF Mothers. Mrs
ID. O. Mears, one of the national vice
presidents, who telegraphed yesterday
that she would attend the conference

state chairman of the Victory Girl

Miss Wellman then referred to the
Smith-Tower educational bin now be-
fore the congress and explained several
OF its provisions and the effect it would
have on the state as well as upon the
union. 1t was then voted to instruct
the secretary to send letter to each
association in the state asking their CO
operation and work for the measure.
Captain Ernest w Gibson then gave
a brief talk on his observations in the
army life and spoke of the work of the
| Vermont boys as compared with that of
some other states and gave much other
interesting information along the mill

duty of every father and mother to take
an interest in the Parent Teacher asso-

might be called "Prohibition," with
equal propriety. Reminiscent OF
the flower laden turbans of the sum-
mer, this hat had for its foundation
pale blue crepe, over which were ap-
pied very closely clusters Of frosted
purple grapes, tendrils and dark
green leaves. The owner of this hat,
who had a keen sense Of humor. re-
marked that her milliner had had a
happy thought, now that there was
no longer liquid use for grapes, IN
making them into hats. This one
was a dear, though. and was top

covered in autumn leaves in their
natural colorings. Each leaf had a
stem Of tarnished gold thread clever

Another small street hat Of tan
