GIFTED YOUNG SINGER.
Miss Marian Kecler Of Burlington
Pleased Audience Last Evening.

Fairy tales are not soon forgotten.
Neither can Miss Marian Keller, ae-
claimed to be 'syermont's CALI Cure"
be soon forgotten by those who were
privileged to hear her. Fairy-like, she
just sang and smiled her way into the
hearts Of an appreciatiye, but rather
small, gathering Of lovers of good music
in city hall, Montpelier, last evening.
The audience did not fail to recognize
the splendid program and it greeted the
participants httingly.
Miss Marian, a diminutive prima dom
ma, just Is years of age-sang with the
ease and inesse Of an artist Of years.
Her stature did not interfere i'm any way
with the volume Of her voice. which
rolled out apparently with little effort
and at times as soft as lullaby. Every
syllable, every note and every expression
stood out prominently in all her work.
Her dction was clear, her tones perfect
and her charming personality proved to
be valuable assets that could not be
overlooked. In difficult arias or in fla
vorite song numbers she was equally as
masterful and enjoyable Perhaps the
most difficult selection attempted by her
was the Shadow song from "Dinorah"
| tMeyerbeerl The perfect ease and con
troll with which she reached high e was
remarkable.
Miss Keeler's home is in Burlington,
where she was found" by Mrs. Florence
Wood Russell. With the utmost care
and pains taken for the preservation of
| this exceptional voice, Vermont can ex-
; pect great things from this young singer
Perhaps the best 'cellist ever heard in
this vicinity was William Windsor Ward.
He showed complete mastery with his
bow and through all of his difficult num-
bers he held the closest attention and
elected hearty applause. :
Mrs. Russell, instructress Of Miss Keel
err, and we'll known soloist, added a
pleasing number to the program. She
also acted as accompanist very accept
ably. The program was as follows
'Lusinghe Piu Care tHandel), Pastor
ale" tVerraeinil Miss Keller; "Gayotte'
tPopperl, "Andante" from Concerto No.

together the song recital was a rare
musical treat seldom offered to the pub
lie in this vicinity, The commendatory
criticisms offered the artist of the even
ing by her many admirers are merited
1t is to be hoped that a Barre audience
win at some time be given nm opportu-
nifty Of hearing her. A good proportion

DEMAND FOR PENNIES MAKES
ALL MINIS WORK OVERTIME

Washington, D. c., June 3.-Every
mint in the United States has been
put to work by Director Ray Baker,
turning out one-cent pieces in an eff
fort to keep pace with the enormous
demand for the nations least valu-
able coin. By instituting a twenty
four hour day the output has been
pushed to 90,000,000 cents month.
There have been approximately
100000, 900 one-cent pieces coined in
this country" Baker said today, "but
where they have gone is mystery
nobody seems able to solve. The SUBJ
treasures are inundated with orders
from banks, which keep issuing the
copper coins for use in payment of
odd cent taxes and street car fares,
but the demand continues"
The May output of the minis was
64,9S4,000 coins of which 60,975,000
were one-cent pieces. Nickels also
were in large demand, 1854, 900 Being
coined, tie remainder of the produc-
ton, $4,000 half-dollars, 10000
quarters and 10000 dimes. The mon
ey value of the output was 81 ,233,880.
All of the pennies being made are of
the Lincoln design.

the League of Nations. The treaty as
it now stands does not permit this.
The way is left open in the covenant
of the league for the admission of
Germany, but in an indefinite future.
The German commissioners in their
counter proposals express a willing
ness and desire to enter now, and the
reports from Paris indicate an earnest
consideration by the council of the
question of admission. There are
many objections offerable but most of
them are based upon antipathy and
distrust. The main question should be,
Is it best for the interests of all the
nations involved, best for the insur-
ance of permanent peace, to admit
Germany at once? We believe that
our argument of year ago still holds
good. The admission of Germany need
involve no material modification, if
any at all, of the terms of the treaty,
and the great problem of enforcing
the terms should be much simplfied
by its admission. Under these terms
it will be under constant compulsion
and pressure from the outside until
they are fulfilled, and compliance will
always be unwilling and resentful,
hate maintaining and hate producing,
if Germany is held without the walls,
a pariah. But if allowed within the
league the pressure would be largely
from the inside, self-interest impell-
ing the Germans to work for a speedy
fulfillment of obligations, having the
assurance. and encouragement of fair
treatment and equal opportunity to
effect its restoration to status Of re-
spect in the opinion of the world. The
tendency of the association would be
to make Germany cooperate to pro-
mote peace rather than to scheme in
secret to destroy it. And, besides,
Germany within the league could be
more easily and effectively watched
than without. From the standpoint of
expediency alone, the admission of
Germany seems to us to be the wiser
policy, although we freely admit that
it is not likely to be a popular one.
The council, however, should look into
the future and weigh its bearings up
on the possibilities the future con-
tains. 1t is too large a question to be
judged by the passions and prejudices
of the moment. They are building at
Paris not SO much for US as for our
children and our children's children

GERMANY AND THE LEAGUE

Nearly a year ago June 81, 1879
it was prophesied that when the
League of Nations is established Ger
many will come into it, quietly and
swordlessly, because it will want to
and because it must" At that date
Germany had reached the highest
point of her military advancement.
The series of great drives had brought
her armies almost within gunshot of
Paris. Yet we said, in the editorial
Just quoted, that 1--WE are quite sure
that the Germany that comes out of
this war will be sufficiently chastened
by experience to beat it's swords into
pruning hooks. We cannot consider
the possibility of any termination of
the war that will not convince Ger
many that force has not paid and will
not pay" Therefore, Germany will
not oppose such league when the
time comes for its establishment. 1t
will be eager, we think, to get into it,"
A little later, when discussing a
speech by Lord Curzon, We said: "The
primary purpose of the proposed
League of Nations is to do all that is
humanity possible to put an end to war.
It seems to us to be essential that all
the great nations must concur and
unite in this, if the purpose is to be
measurably attained. However deep
the lessone of this war may make in
its government and its policies, what
ever physical disasters it may suffer
before the end comes, it will still be
Germany. still great and Powerful
nation. II, then, it is refused admis-
sion to the League of Nations, if it is
made an Ishmaelite among the organ
lied peoples of the world, it will be
compelled by the very nature of con-
ditions to nourish a deep resentment,
an ever-growing hatred, and to pre-
pare busily, steadily and resolutely for
another effort at domination. We
may have destroyed militarism there,
but we will have compelled it's reviv-
al" 8al
Great events have occurred since
these words were written. The war
has been brought to an end. Germany
has been beaten, and it is now before
the bar Of it's enemies pleading for
mitigation of the terms of stern JUS
tice. But what we predicted then has
come true. Germany is eager to enter
