gregating 1900 tons, now in posses
sion of the United States, was dis
cussed by the supreme council to-day,

The British representatives to-day
explained that England was crowded
with men from the colonies eager to re-

Dor.

FRANCE WILL REFUSE
THE RESERVATIONS
Action of q. S. Senate Is Being Fol-
lowed with a Great Deal of
Interest.

Paris, Nov 1.-THE news of the
adoption by the United States Senate
of ten reservations to the German peace
treaty was received with great interest
in peace conference circles. The point
apparently being most discussed by the
delegates in general is as to whether
the Senate will ultimately insist upon
the reservations being formally APP
proved by the other governments as
now specified in the preamble. In
French circles the indications are that
the French government is not prepared
to give its formal approval
There likewise rs much speculation as
to how far the American reservations
might possibly affect the reservations
some of the minor powers, such as
China, Rumania and ugo-Slavia, de-
sire to make.
China has never signed the German
peace treaty. The Chinese delegates Of
fered to sign it subject to reserva-
tion on the question of Shantung, but
were not permitted to do 50. Rumania
and Jugo Slavia did not sign the Aus
trian peace treaty taking exception
to the clause regarding the protection
Of racial minorities.

MONTPELIER

Plans for the organization OF realty
company in North Montpelier are be-
ing completed. This is practically due
to the increased help at the Little
wooicn mills, some over 100 being EN-
ploYed there at present. 1t is proposed
to form a stock company of $4,000
capitalization, and no person to hold
more than $500 worth Of stock The
company viii not confnc its renting, to
those employed in the mills, but will
rent to anyone employed at North
Montpelier 1t is expected they will
construct about ST 400 cottage houses,
which will rent around $40 each per
month.
Recognition Of voice was the reason
for two veterans of the world war
meeting at the football game Saturday.
Michael Cohan and a Mr.. Bramburg Of
Boston were the ones who met. Mic
was leading the yelling for Montpelier
when Mr.. Bramburg, who had stopped
in Barre over the week end as a sales
man for a Boston banking firm, heard
"Mick's" yell. 'My , that is Mick
Cohan," said Mr.. Bramburg. A little
in doubt, he waited until "Mick" yelled
again and then said, "That surely is
Mick, and across the field he went
They embraced, for the salesman be-
lieved that Mick had been killed in
France. 1t appears that the two men
were buglers in the same company for
a time and formed a close attachment
Then Mr. Bramburg was transferred
to the divisional headquarters as bugler
and 9Mick" did not see him any more
A short time afterward report came
to Mr.. Bramburg that "Mick' had been
run over by a cannon. Then in a few
days the report came along that he
was dead. Mr.. Bramburg was much
surprised when he heard the voice OF
his friend leading the cheering on the
campus Saturday afternoon They
were entertained by w. II. Jeffrey at
his home in Montpelier Sunday even
ing, when they rehearsed some of the
escapades through which they passed
during the war.

culture at Lyndonyille has been select
