Paris. March 26.-It became known
today that a serious effort is being
made in the highest quarters to JON
together all the peace treaties with
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bull
garia, making one comprehensive
treaty, in which Germany would be
linked with the other Central Pow
ers as their responsible head.
While such step would cause de-
Law, the American and British lead
crs feel that it would save time IN
the end.
The inclusion of Austria in a COM
p1ehensive treaty would be particu-
larry acceptable to Italy, which would
resent the conclusion of terms with
Germany in document failing to
deal with ltaly's interest in Aus
tria.
The plan has not been finally de-
termned upon, but the tendency is
toward is adoption.
Should the plan be adopted, it is
expected the treaties, could be linked
together and completed by May |.

Sugar and the Grocer.
randolph HeraldA

We have some measure of SYM
pathy with the much-abused retail
dealer in this handling of sugar dur
ing the shortage that has existed
during the past year or two Prob
ably with all its trouble and annoy
ances the retailer will be the most
pleased of anyone when normal con-
dltlons return and he can handle
sugar as he used to. This being with
out seven-eighths of the tine and de-
prived of the natural ncoit on it, only
to be bedevilled and harrassed for an
occasional few days; obliged to turn
down and anger pso pIe; to hire extra
clerks; to dole it out in small pack
ages at extra cost of handling. and to
stand in constant apprehension lest
the minions of the law descend upon
one, can hardly appeal to the natural
instinct OF the tradesman, be he ever
so good natured and patriotic. Very
naturally the retailer tries his best
TO supply his own regular and con-
slant customers first He should.
They look to him first. But LET II he
come known that Grocer A has a con-
slgnment of sugar in and peonle
rush upon him from far and wide IF
he did not stand guard and Highland
lie some he wouldn't have any at all
for many of his customers, who would
be sore, and perhaps leave him. Some
OF these people have persistently re-
fused him their patronage for years.
Why should he neglect his own trade
Tor them? These buyers are many of
them persons who already have sugar
on hand and who get more because
they know it is scarce and they want
to stock up. Many householders
make it a practice to secure sugar
wherever and whenever they can,
which IS one reason why sugar is SO
scarce IN market The old card sys-
tenn wasn't so bad and prevented. in

Coolidge Grows in Favor.
(Springield Reporter)

The idea of Calvin Coolidge as the
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency seems to strike the public i'm
agination more and more forcibly as
time goes on, and the fine character
of the man, his fearless attitude, his
good, hard New England sense and
more clearly realized. Although his
handling of the Boston police strike
shows that he can be as set as the
green hills of his native state when
occasion requires, he is not of the
bull-headed, domineering type that
mistakes obstinacy for firmness and,
by lack of reasonableness and tact,
alienates the support upon which a
well conceived policy depends

Vermont Has Coolidge Club.

Vermont's boom for Coolidge for
president was formally launched at
an enthusiastic meeting of prominent
men of Windsor county held In Wood
stock last week. Resolutions repre-
senting the united sentiment of the
county and, it is believed, the great
majority of the voters of the state,
were presented by ex-Gov. W. W.
Stickney, and adopted, as follows
Whereas, we hold with the found
ers of our state that frequent recur-
renee to fundamental principles and a
1rm adherence to justice, moderation,
temperance. industry and frugality
are absolutely necessary to preserve
the blessings of liberty and keep gov
eminent free: and
Whereas, the maintenance of law
and order without fear or favor un-
der a stable government which in
sures equal right to all is the urgent
need of the hour; and
Whereas, Calvin Coolidge, a ma
tive of Plymouth in this county, now
governor of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts,, by his public acts re-
stores ones respect for popular gov
eminent and demonstrates his fit
ness to administer the high Office of
president of the United States;
therefore be it
Resolved, that we pledge our sup
port for his nomination as the Re
publican standard bearer in the COM
ing national convention and urge all
voters in this and other states to
join in securing that result
Following the meeting of the coun-
ty committee, the Windsor County
Coolidge club was organized with
these officers: Honorary president,
John c. Coolidge of Plymouth, father
of Governor Coolidge; president, Gil
bert F. Davis of Windsor; secretary,
George o. Gridley of Windsor; treas
urer, James F. Dewey of Queechee;
with vice-presidents from each town
IN the county.
1t is expected that Coolidge clubs
viii be formed In all the other coun-
ties IN the state and join with Wind
SCR IN the Coolidge boom.
Membership in the club is limited
only to those who believe in law and
order and the good government of all

Emery's Mention Attracts Attention.
Waterbury Recordl

The rather unique and decidedly
complimentary manner in which the
Barton Monitor tells of Hon. Curtis
S. Emery's qualifications for the
governorship has attracted consider
able attention. Some fifteen years
ago this gentleman was about as live
political wire as you would care to
know. Since selecting Newport as
his residence he has not mixed with
the boys quite so much. The linking
of this gentleman's name in politics
again causes many to recall some
very interesting conferences, in the
interests of different candidates, IN
which Col. Emery was among those
present.

Most of the Monitors pleasant
comments on Colonel Emery's person
atty are well founded, and The Her
aid entirely agrees with them. If 1t
were to offer the accused a little
gratuitous-an therefore worthless
advice, it would say to him: By all
means run for governor or for any
other office that he fancies. Make
such an appropriation for correspon-
dence and publicity as he can afford,
pay nothing to politicians, tell the
people frankly what he stands for
and let it go at that.
