LAW MUST STILL BE ENFORCED
County Attorney Must Not Stop War
On Sale of Cigarettes.

s. s. Smith, county attorney has
received a circular letter from at
torney general II. J. Hopkins Calling
attention to the fact that he has re-
celved many complaints that the
state law In regard to the sale Of
cigarettes and says that as the legis-
lature did not repeal the anti-cigar-
cite law it is still the duty Of the
authorities to enforce 1t.
The letter was not necessary In
this county however, as the county
attorney has already commenced a
campaign against the yiolators Of the

ROOT SENDS LODGE
HIS PLAN TO END
THE LEAGUE FIGHT
Proposes Ratification With
Reservation as a
Safeguard
MAKE POLICIES SAFE
Wants Separate Resolution Pledg-
ing Non-Interference in Euro
pean Affairs

WASHINGTON, June 24-De-
claring the revised League of Ma
tions covenant Every unsatisfactory"
Elihu Root, formerly Secretary of
State, generally recognized as Am
erica's leading authority on interna-
tional relations, today outlined to
Republican Senators the course he
thought they should pursue in deal
ing with the peace treaty.
He made. known his views in a let
ter to Henry Cabot Lodge of Mass
achusetts, the Republican leader of
the Senate and chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee. He sug-
gested the ratification of the treaty
with the farreaching reservations on
behalf of the United States. The re-
servations he proposed are:
First:-The elimination of Article
Ten insofar as it effects the United
States. This article guarantees the
members of the League to maintain
the territorial integrity and political
independence of all the nations of
the world admitted to the covenant.
Second-Absolute and unqualified
right of the United States to with
draw from the League on two years
notice.
Third-Clear unmistakable pro-
lection of the Monroe Doctrine and
the sovereignty of the United States
over purely American questions.
Mr.. Roots letter came as some
thing of surprise to proponents of
the league who had been hoping the
revised covenant would meet his APP
porval. The letter met with the
warm approval of both Senator
Lodge and Senator Knox, with whom
Mr.. Root has been comforting. for
several days. 1t is likely that no
vote will be taken now on the peace
treaty, although Mr.. Root endorsed
the measure in his letter to Senator
Lodge.
While it cannot be said that the
Root letter is an exact outline of the
republican programme, prediction was
made tonight that it would be very
closely followed by the opponents of
the league when the peace treaty
reaches the Senate.
Senator Lodge said he contemplate
ed no immediate answer to the letter.
He was much pleased with it, he said,
and thought it spoke very we'll for
itself without any comment from
him.
The Senator approved all of Mr..
Roots suggestions and said they
could be carried out either in the
form of reservations in the resolu-
ton of ratification or as actual
amendments to the treaty itself.

PICK UP WASTE PAPER
Chief Marden Requests all Citizens
to Gather up Inhammable
Material

There is every indication that st.
Johnsbury's coming 4th of July cell
ebration and welcome home to the
soldier boys will be participated in by
the largest crowd that has ever Wis
tied this village. The trustees and
village officials are taking every pre-
caution to make the celebration safe,
and with this in view, Chief Marden
of the fire department, requests all
the citizens to clean up all litter
about their residences, especially
paper and all combustible material,
so that a frecracker, cigarette stub
or any other smoldering flame may
not start fire and endanger life and
property. st. Johnsbury people al
ways respond promptly to such calls
and with their cooperation the off
cials will be greatly aided in their
work. There is no desire to abridge
the enthusiasm of young Americans
on this occasion, but it is every cit
izen's duty to help make it safe and
sane Fourth.

LEGION COME TO STAY
Boys Don't Want People to Slap
Them on Back and Say "You Did
Great" and Hand Out Scheme

WASHINGTON, June 24-"Be-
fore l vote to send anybody to a
swamp, l want to know is that land
to be for the boy-is it to be devel-
oped or for his grandchildren per,
haps," said Representative Fionella
H. La Gurdia, of New York in an
address before a recent meeting of
more than 800 members of the AM
erican Legion in Washington, d. C.
The occasion of the address by Mr..
La Guardia who himself has a record
of more than Is months service over
seas as an aviator on the Italian
front with the American Army; was
the regular monthly meeting of
George Washington Post, No. l, of
the American Legion, the organization
composed of men who served in the
war with Gelmany-an organization
by for and of the service man.
eve find all kinds of organizations
with pet schemes to help the poor
downtrodden soldier" continued Mr.
La Guardia. 81 want all of these
movements scrutinized to see if they
are going to help the soldier or. the
people interested in the movement.
Don't let them put anything over on
you" This remark was followed by
crys from the men of: "Don't worry"
eve WON'T" "We're with you," etc.
The significant part of Mr.. La
.Guardia's address was its effect upon
the service men. Practically without
exception land that mostly in the
case of one armed men) the ap-
plause came from all parts of the
hall and when he had ceased he was
urged to continue. Even the wound
ed men applauded with crutches and
canes. 1t was not because it was
Major La Guardia-it was because it
was Representative La Guardia who
spoke that brought such tumultuous
applause. Inquiry soon brought out
the real reason. 1t was the truth,
the plain statements with which these
men are in hearty accord. The
American Legion is not and naturally
could not be a political organization
but that it will WELD a powerful in-
fuence in the shaping of the policies
of the nation in the future is already
a conceded fact. There are at pre-
sent over one million members and it,
is expected that before next Novem-
ber this number will be increased to
more than three million.
The American Legion has come to
stay and the combined efforts of the
men who served in the great war will
have much to do with bringing this
country back to safe and sane
basis.

Miss. katherine S. Mulrooney

The sudden death of Miss Kather-
inc S. Mulrooney at st. Johnsbury
hospital, Saturday afternoon, came as
severe shock to host of friends in
this village and vicinity. She un-
derwent an operation Monday, the
10th, and was apparently making
good recovery when pneumonia devel-
oped and death came swiftly.
Miss Mulrooney was born in Cor
inth, October 20, 1880, the only child
of Patrick and Mary Mulrooney.
The family came here when she was
two years old. She was educated at
the Convent schools and at the age
of 16 entered the employ Of the Geo.
H. Cross Co., where she remained
four years. From there she went to
the ladies' furnishing store of Leach
& Waterman, where for Is years, up
to the time of entering the hospital,
she was a popular and efficient sales
lady. Her mother died nine years ago
and her father four years ago. For
the last few years she has made her
home in the family of R. M. Ram.
The funeral was held Tuesday with
mass at st. Aloysius church at s
o'clock a. M, and services at O'Clock
p M, and burial in Mt. Calvary Gem
etery.
The bearers were William Racette,
Carl Reynolds, Frank Lynch, William
Landry, Frank Flanagan and Edward
Brown.
Those from out of town in attend
ance were Miss Margaret Calef of
Concord, John P. MCGOWAN of Bos
ton, w. J. Rooney and family of Is
land Pond.
Deceased is survived by two half
sisters, Miss Margaret Mulrooney of
Concord, N. H., Mrs. Daniel Lynch of
this place.
Miss Mulrooney won wide circle
of friends by her charming manner
and genialty, who mourn the passing
of this young life so full of promise.

REORGANIZING co. D.
A Strong Appeal to Organize a New
Co. from Service Men and
Recruits and Save Armory

Do we want the Armory closed,
and lose our Co. d? 1t looks this
way if we do not get back of the
boys and encourage them by our
help.
The facts are like this, as learned
from Maj. Ellis and other officers, or
ex-officers now, for the old Co. D
was disbanded last week, June goth.
Adjutant General Johnson is holding
the opportunity open for us to re-
organize and keep our old Co. d,
but must be done soon for other

a quota of 65 men, and the requisite
number of officers to do this, and they
are now working to obtain this. At
a meeting of the men at the Armory
last evening this matter was discus

sed, but the number of signers was
not gotten.
This Armory, and Co. D, who was
the cause for our getting the build
ing, have grown to be nucleus for
too many things in this community to
have it closed, and the Co. disbanded
now, and if the public spirit of st.
Johnsbury gets back of this we may
be able to avert the backward step.
Another meeting is to be held at
7.3O this evening at the Armory at
which time enlistment papers will be
signed. Any man between the ages OF
18 and as, who is physically fit, is
eligible to join, and the time is short
in which to get this requisite num-
ber-only two days rnore-so it IS
necessary for us to get busy, and get
out these new recruits.

AMERICA REFUSES
TO AID A SUPREME
ECONOMIC COUNCIL.
British Think Plan Would
Be Stabilizing Force
In Europe
NOT TO FEED EUROPE
Such an Organization Would Be
Most Powerful Body in the
World

PARIS, June 24-The American
government has refused to partici-
pate in the British plan for perma-
nent Supreme Economic Council.
The present body ceases to exist
when peace was signed.
England, through her representa-
tives on the council, recently official
ly approached the American men,
bers, including Mr.. Hoover, and out
lined a scheme containing the Econ
omic Council in some form, with
headquarters in London. The Brit
ish urged the plan on the theory
that the council would be stabiliz-
ing force throughout Europe, but es-
pecially in the new countries, which
have been depending largely on the
council for food, raw materials and
financial support
While the soundness of the argu-
ment was apparent, the Americans
saw in. the permanent council grave
danger of upbuilding- a bureaucratic
power which would leave open to sew
ere criticism the democracy of any
country participating.
Mr.. Hoover, learn, made it clear
to the Americans that he opposed
continuing the feeding of Europe
any longer than absolutely necessary.
The sooner the countries which have
been dependent on the council get
back to normal and produce their own
needs, just that much sooner Europe
will regain her normal position, he
argued. France is believed to favor
the British plan.
One member of the American mis-
sion said to me today:-"Such a
permanent council could easily be
made the most powerful body in the
world, controlling governments and
peoples at will. Carrying with it the
supreme power to distribute food,
raw materials and credits, the council
could easily direct the policies of the
