APRIL IN VERMONT
(By Daniel l.. Cady)

NBy Danlel L. Cady)
The yer purpureum Horace loved
Is coming up the valleys;
The violet-colored spring he sung
With winters coattails dallies
We're ready for it any day
Up here at Jim McNally's.
We're glad the sun Is running high
And paying earth attention.;
He's going up like other things
Too numerous to mention;
There's nothing that's too low in Burke
But widow 'Plunkett's pension.
The cattle hook the barnyard fence,
The sheep are all a-bleating;
The colts, they stomp their straw and hay
And call for better eating;
The singing school has gone the way
OF that protracted meeting
The barber leaves his door ajar
The peanut cart is steaming;
The folks are planning seashore trips
That do the schoolhouse teaming;.
The teachers hope to summer through
BY eating grass and scheming.
The singing sparrow 'dapts its throat
To pure Italian quavers.
The dandelion roots commence
To gather juicy f1avors;
The alley kids begin to lick
The other little shavers.
The farmer men are working fast,
The farmerettes still faster;
They're looking into dirts and squirts,
The nitrate group and plaster;
BY fall they hope to be as rich
AS her twas Mrs. Astor.
Depressing war has stopped at last
And everybody rallies;
It's great to see the violet spring
A-creeping through the valleys:
We're ready for it any day
Up here at Jim McNally's.

Obsolete Cannons Of
Germany to Be Melted

Coblenz, March 2o.-(Correspond-
nee, of the Associated Press)-
Eighty big caliber guns refused by
ne United States receiving COM
lission because they did not meet
ertain modern standards. have been
old to a Coblenz foundry and are

tents and other peacetime ma
l1inery.

Germany Will Not Accept
Present World League Plan
Teutons to Object to Distribution Of Colonies to Alleged
Ignoration Of Freedom Of Seas and to the in Their
Opinion, insufficient Protection of Commerce.

Berlin, March 2o.-Gerhlany will
not accept the league of natious
covenant in its present form. Hei
delegates will go to Paris not to
Sign on the dotted line" but to dis
cuss and offer positive co-opera-
ton" Her chief objections to the
present draft are:
THAT the freedom OF the seas
is ignored.
2-That the freedom of conf
merce is not sufficiently guaran-
teed
3-That her former colonies are
to be disposed OF without her CO.
operation and consent.
The German foreign minister,
Count Won Brockdorf- Rantzau,
makes these things clear in an inter-
view with the Berlin correspondent
of the The Frankfurter Zeitung, a
translation of which follows
ON the national assembly at
Weimar several speakers expressed
themselves theoretically against the
covenant of the league of nations
which President Wilson read to a
plenary session of the Paris peace
conference on February l4.a Docs
your excellency share their views:.'
Translated From Englisha
Alto pass judgment Of the
league of nations covenant from the
standpoint of German foreign policy
is not an easy matter. Many of the
articles are so framed as to be open
to different interpretation and execu-
ton. Perhaps one reason for this
is that the articles were drafted in
English and were only translated
into French diplomatic language
when they were discussed by the
commission.
Furthermore. the articles show
that they constitute a compromise
of conflicting views. Throughout the
whole covenant there runs an extra
ordinary degree of suspicion.
1T is further characteristic that
the list of members published stimuli
taneously with the draft contains
only states which have been at war
with Germany or broken relations
with US and that President Wilson
deemed it necessary to use ssome
very harsh words against the !. Ger
mans in his opening speech
Q-"Do you mean that for these
reasons the covenant cannot be &C
cepted b. us?"
Awe must, if in any way pos
sible, cooperate in a positive man
rer in the development which has
been opened by the Wilsonian
league. I am convinced that world
peace can be attained only through
tie pacific organization of the
peoples apd though the first steps
en- this road must hit upon all sorts
of obstacles they will nevertheless
bring us nearer to the goal"
Q.-"How does your excellency
conceive positive cooperation"
Calls Draft Oligarchic.
Awe shall endeavor, with the
aid of public opinion. to remove the
Omaha daily bee., 1919-03-30

Objectionable features from the
covenant. Taken as a whole, the
craft has, | must state with regret,
a character more oligarchic than
democratic"
Q. DO you, therefore, recon-
mend that Germany, in the hope OF
Improvement of the covenant,
should join the league of nations?"
A.-"On the whole. yes. Inac-
oeptable i'll their present form seem
70 me at present only the conditions
regarding colonies and territories
which, as consequence of war,
have ceased to be under the sover-
eighty of states which formerly gov
erned them"
In the first place cannot admit
that from the standpoint of interna-
tional law. Germany's sovereignty
over her colonies has ceased to ex-
list. Until peace is concluded, it is
only question of occupation.
"The manner in which thus far
possessions of Germany and Turkey
have been awarded to various
powers looks more like a distribu-
ton of the spoils of war among
happy conquerors than like the gen.
erous and just adjustment of the CO.
lonial problems as advocated BY
President Wilson"
THE question of the freedom Of
the seas has been entirely ignored
and that the question of freedom Of
commerce is really touched upon
only on points where exceptions
from such freedom are deemed
necessary.
There are lacking in the cove
nant, therefore, two important
points of the Wilsonian program,
The great field OF international
workmen's law. the funda. enta.ly
new and most promising task of
