aration commission and for such coop
Grafton as may be necessary but it is
greatly to be desired that she will take
exactly that step.
The powers are willing that within
four months of the signature of the
treaty Germany may submit any pro-
posals she may choose to make. In par
ticular she may offer lump sum for all
or part of her liability, undertake to re-
construct all or part of q damaged dis
trict, offer labor, technical service or ma
terial for reconstruction, or, in short
suggest any feasible plan to simplify the
assessment of damage, eliminate any
question from the scope of the inquiry
| promote the performance of the work
or accelerate the. definition of the ulti-
mate amount to be paid. Germany must
however, negotiate direct with the pow
ers concerned before making the propos-
! ais, submit them in unambiguous form
and accept the reparation clauses as
matters beyond dispute. No arguments
or appeals directed to any alteration will
| be entertained.
Within two months thereafter the al
lied and associated powers will answer
such proposals and agree to consider Sc
riously and fairly any suggestions made.
1t is said the problem is largely one of
statistics of which the powers have re-
ceived but one side. Germany is invited
to produce evidence which will accelerate
the settlement.
The reply says that the Germans made
no definite offer as TO reparations, but
gave only vague expressions of willing
ness to do something" The sum of l00,-
900 100000 marks, which was mentioned
in the enemy counter proposals, is said
to give the impression of an extensive
offer, which upon examination it proves
not to be. Interest was not to be paid
until 1928, there was no substantial pay
ment after which there could be series
of underlined installments running over
nearly half century.
Declaring that the resumption of Ger
man industry is of interest to the allies,
as well as to Germany, the reply declares
that commercial facilities viii not be
withheld from Germany, but they will
afford to Germany facilities for food sup
plies, raw materials and transport under
conditions which cannot be laid down in
advance
Meanwhile the treaty must be
signed" the reply declares. "The bur
dens of Germany undoubtedly are heavy,
but they are imposed under conditions
of justice by peoples whose social well
being and economic prosperity have been
gravely impaired by wrongs which it is
beyond the utmost power of Germany
to repair"
In the financial section of the reply it
is stipulated that reparation must be
made prior to the settlement of all other
German public debts, with such exeep-
tions as the commission may approve
Payment for food may also be a first
charge, and gold may be exported on APP
proval. Germany must pay the expense
of military occupation, as an essential
guarantee of peace, and war materials
surrendered after the armistice cannot
be credited against reparations. Lib
Grated territories will bear their portion

ed and where they will remain for two
weeks. They are preparing to entertain
many visitors this year, even more than
they did last season at Greenwood. The
scouts need little more money for camp
expenses and the campfire girls need a
little more money to finish paying for a
Liberty bond, and SO these two orgauiza-
tions are planning for musical enter
tainment at the opera house on Friday
evening, June 81, at which time they ex-
pect a large audience and the entertain

as the money will go towards worthy
causes. Bear the date in mind.
On Wednesday evening at the opera
house, in place of the usual class day
exercises, the senior class of Hardwick
academy will present the drama, "The
Cricket on the Hearth" The cast mas

Let everybody interested in the school
attend. On Thursday evening occurs the
annual alumni banquet. There will be

The band OF gypsies who raised Sl55

Gulford farmer, promised to get out of

never TO return providing they were Civ

the court assessment. They had claimed
that they could not raise the entire
amount Of 1852; and the court accepted
the smaller sum. The prosecution of
them was well carried out; their promise
never to return to Vermont is something
of uncertain value. However, if prose.
cutting officers in other communities of
Vermont will be as prompt to drive the
gypsies out as were the officers of Brat
tleboro and as swift to prosecute as were
the oflicerssin the Guilford robbery case,
Vermont will not have high mark for
hospitality among the nomads who wan
der over the North American continent
seeking to gain their livelihood in the
easiest manner possible and making a
nuisance of themselves in nearly every
place they visit. Most of these gypsies
are not desirable acquisitions, even tenn

A LESS NIGGARDLY POLICY BEING
DEVELOPED.


Now that the government in Wash
ington has taken new course TO secure
desired publicity, that Of advertising in
the newspapers at the regular rates
charged other legitimate advertisers, the
editors of the newspapers may expect
to note a decrease of the stream of beg
ging letters received from government
departments, in which the departments
plead that they have no allowance mon
ey for publicity but they do need the
publicity, oh! so much--and, therefore,
cannot the editors see their way clear
toward donating valuable space. To be
sure, the government has not launched
out very far on practical scheme of
advertising for what it wants, but if the
arrangement is found to be effective it
is probable that other departments will
follow the same course Up to the pres.
ent time the newspapers have donated
millions of dollars worth of space in
forwarding the various efforts of the
government in its war moves but they
cannot continue to do it longer under the
ilattery that they are being patriotic.
Newspaper space costs the newspapers
something and where the newspapers
give it away they have nothing to meet
the cost, whether they give it to the
governments az to private parties.

say that the wireless has proven to be a
