The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-01-14

The current of public opinion both in
Europe and America has been running
perceptibly stronger in favor of league
Of nations during the past fortnight.
This is a simple question of obserya-
tinn and measurement, and as to the fact
which y stated there can be little dis
quite. Conservatives and ultra national
ists may not like the drift Of things if
the idea of a league Of nations is gain
ing strength, but even they must recog-
nize the influence upon the peace maxi
ng Of the course of events.
The obstacles to a league of nations
are formidable, but even more formida-
ble-staggering is the better word-must
he the effort to make a real peace with.
nut such league. Ordinary diplomacy
on the old lines is helpless in settling
he affairs of such a Europe as exists
Today. A peace treaty would be writ
ZEN in water, so fluid is the continental
situation, if Clemenceau's formula Of ad-
lition division, and the balance Of pow
err should be followed.
With eastern and central Europe in
their present disorganized and terror
istic condition, the western powers must
hold together in order that civilization
may have something solid to tie to. Brit
ain, France and Italy will continue to
need Americas moral and national sup
port But America will not join a limit
ed combination of power based on the
blasted principles of a dead age; on that
point at least the presidents Manches-
ter speech found an affirmative echo
throughout the country.
without America, Britain and France
especially would find the burden of con-
trolling Europe and keeping the peace
too heavy. They would be unable even
to maintain their own armies sufiicient*
ly numerous and strong for the CONT
mental task confronting them, for there
are already omnous signs that the rank
and file of the British and French armies
will resent what they may consider ex.
cessive delay in rehabilitation. The
semimution spirit shown at Folkestone
and even in London the other day was a
warning. Even in our own army now in
France the desire to come home and
quit soldering is universal, according to
testimony that comes in the home letters
of almost every man in the expedition
airy forces.

degree the ideals of the democracy of

Minor Baseball League Off
Gals Make Demands of
the Majors
PLAYER DRAFTING
CALLED UNFAIR
Dispute Under Considera-
tion at Important Meet
ing in New York

New York, Jan IA meeting of the
new International league officials, and
another of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues, at which
the question of obtaining for the minor
leagues relief from the present draft
regulations was considered, ushered in
here to-day the most important week
of baseball conferences held in many
years Some minor league officials init
mated that unless the demands Of the
minors were granted they would break
with the major organizations,
Since the national agreement was
signed years ago the major leagues have
enjoyed the privilege of drafting players
from the smaller organizations. This
practice, minor league officials main
tanned, was unfair in that when one of
the small clubs developed good players,
they were taken by the major circuits
at the end of the season.
Joe Tinker of the Columbia American
association club who, with AL Tearney Of
the Three league and Ed Hanton Of the
st. Joseph Western league club makes
up the minor league committee, appoint
ed to confer with the major leagues upon
the question of reconstruction of the
minors, was emphatic in his declaration
that the requests Of the smaller clubs
must be granted. Heretofore the minor
leagues have asked" he said "This time
we will ask and ii the request is turned
down we will demand"
John j. Farrell, secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues, discussed the situation
with several of the delegates and it was
said that he was not one Of those who
advocated radical measures in dealing
with the majors. II was asserted. how
ever, that whatever action was taken by
the minors would be supported by all Of
them.
While minor league officials admitted
that the major leagues have shown a
conciliatory attitude toward the de-
mands Of the minors, no major league
official would discuss the requests.
The minor league committee is TO pre-
sent its case TO Joint committees Of the
National and American leagues and the
national commission, probably on next
Friday.

Those Who Are Financially Interested in
the League Teams Are Meeting in
New York to Discuss Plans
for the Season Of 1919.

New York, Jan. l4,-Baseball club

in this city for one Of the most impor-
tant series Of conferences in the history
of the professional game. The recon

those financially connected with the sport

have arisen in the wake of the world

Magnates and players Of high and low
degree. who will ultimately be affected
by the result Of the coming deliberations,
are arriving from all parts of the coun-
try and for the next few days the ma
tional game, in 30 far as it relates TO
leagues and professional participants,
will be the subject of serious study and
consultation The week of conference
win open tomorrow forenoon with a
meeting Of the New International league
and close with a series of joint sessions
between the National and American
leagues which are expected to last until
Saturday.
Taken in chronological order, the pro
ceedings win move forward somewhat
along the following lines: The New In
ternational league will meet Tuesday
forenoon and after a special session will
later attend the afternoon meeting Of
the National Association of Professional
Leagues. AT these conferences a number
of questions, affecting both the minor
leagues and their relations with the ma
jors, will be discussed and plan of ac-
ton probably adopted, The outstanding
desire Of the minor leagues appears to be
for the abolition of the draft but diver
gent opinions are held as to the effect Of

URGES IMMEDIATE
FORMATION OF
PEACE LEAGUE
Senator Shaforth Of Colorado Criticized
Senator Knox Proposal to POST
pone Consideration Of the
Question.


Question.
Washington, ID, O., Jan. Renewing
debate in the Senate to-day on the pro.
posal for league of nations, Senator
Shaforth, Of Colorado, Democrat, urged
immediate formation of such a league
and criticized those who have advocated
postponement Of consideration of this
question by the peace eonferees.
Senator Shaforth particularly attacked
the resolution of Senator Knox of Penn
sylvania, Republican, now before the for
eign relations committee, which proposes
that action by the peace congress be
deferred.
There are two ways of defeating the
plan for league of nations" the senator
said, first by openly opposing and vot-
ing against it; and second, by postpon-
ing its consideration to a time when 9TH
er subjects are engrossing the attention OF
the world and when there may exist d.
visions and disputes among nations
which might destroy any chance of ef-
fecting an agreement. In my Judgment,
to vote for the Knox resolution propos-
ing postponement, is virtually to vote
against the formation of any league of
nations for the purpose of avoiding wars.
President Wilson now is in Europe
endeavoring to negotiate a peace treaty
that not only win settle the disputes as
to the nations in this war, but that will
at least have tendency TO prevent wars
in the future. As | have said so many
times that we are fighting for a perma-
nent peace among the nations of the
world, that this is war to end all war,
ii seems to be inconsistent with our own
declarations when we advise that he
make no treaty with respect to the world
peace. He knows the situation and views
of the nations, and as TO whether we can
get treaty that will insure the peace
to the world better than we who have
no communication with the representa-
tives of other nations. 1t may be that
he will not accomplish the thing which
we all desire, namely, making the world
safe from wars; but we impair his inAu.
ence ii we pass resolutions that he
should not endeavor to accomplish the
aim for which we entered the war, the
peace of the world"

RABBIT POISONING DRIVE
LAUNCHED IN WEST END

This morning saw the opening of
the rabbit poisoning campaign in the
west end of the county. where far
mers are putting out $1,000 worth of
strychnine. mixed with three and
half tons OF hay. as means of kill
ing the rabbits which menace the
wheat fields.

Mon, county agriculture agent who is
active in the poisoning campaign, is
Ideal and MIR. Bennicn estimates that
each ounce of the poison will kin
from 100 to $50 rabbits, When the.
present supply of poison is exhausted,
IL is probable that another $1,000
worth will be used. The strychnine
is shipped from the L. S. Biological
Survey office in Portland.
The Umatilla county court advanced
the money for the purchase of the
poison. but each farmer pays for a
share so that the money is really in
the nature of loan. The poison was
mixed at various mixing stations and
then distributed.

The governor was advised by the

that department from the injured
who are dependent upon
their compensation allowance for
living expenses while they are
for work. These work
men say it is impossible for them to

Flooding the Roundup park,

spite of all efforts and the eX-

by the Roundup board, the
scheme failed because the cold
snap did not last. 1t was discov-
cred that great care was necessary
when attempting to flood the

was great.
