PEACE BUT NO CONFINEMENT.
TCedar RanIds Cagctto1


Twelve months have passed in COM
paraiye peace so far as The armies
are concerned, but the year has not
brought the peace that all of us had
hoped for. In fact, that universal peace
so necessary to the world seems as far
off as 1t did when the armies were
.deadlocked on the western front. Ces-
sation of hostilitics has not caused
men TO returp to their peaceful pur-
suits. Disorder and unrest are more
rampant today than at any time dur
ing the world war. Freedom has not
brought happiness and contentment;
has not brought the kind OF prosperity
That men seek to make them happy.
Here in America we are richer, better
Off, than we ever were before yet there
is disappointment on every side. Labor
and capital are engaged In strife which
may mean the death OF one or both.
America is standing still today while
all AROUND us rnges that which Is akin
to war-Gse battle between two great
opposing foftes for supremacy

ward will commence his address on the
league Of nations. Mr. Taft, who was EN-
route to this city to-day from Spring
field, O., where he spoke last night, will
speak in favor of the league Of nations
before the presidents arrival.
Although there are but 1926 seats at
the opera house, demands for seats CON
tinued to pour in to-day and the com
mittee in charge estimated that more
than 100000 applications had been re-
ceived, with two tons of mail still to be
opened.
Alice Paul leader of the National
Women's party, has announced that she
will lead a delegation of suffrage pickets
to the vicinity of the opera house and
call the presidents attention to their de-
mands for an extra session of Congress
to pass the woman suffrage amendment.
The women will carry purple, gold and

ALLIES EVACUATED
VILLAGE TO BOLSHEVIKI
Latter Continued to Make Their Often
sive Against Americans and 9th
ers South of Archangel.

Archangel, Monday, March tBy the
Associated Press The bolshevki con
tinue to push their offensive against the
American and allied troops on the front
100 miles south Of Archsngel, according
to reports received at headquarters here
this morning. The allies have evacuated
the village Of Veviscuskawa.
The allies, however, still hold their
position at Vistavka and the villages of
Maximoskaya and Kitsa.
The bolsheviki were reported yester-
day to be moving a considerable force
along the road from Tarahevo in the
Kadish sector toward Maximovsky and
last night the bolshevik artillery bonn
baTded Vistavka heavily.
The Americans evacuated Veysievs-
kawa yesterday after the block houses
had been set on fire. Airplane observers
reported that the town was still burn
ing last night,
The bolsheviki continue 10 she'll the
allied positions at Tulgas on the Dvina.
The allied guns are replying vigorously.
The enemy apparently is attempting to
drive the Americans from Ust Vaga and
cut off the column along the Dvina,
which is 30 miles south of the confluence
of the Vaga with the Dvina. Since early
in February the enemy has been reorgau-
izing behind the lines and bringing up
new guns The columns on both the
vaga and the Dviua are outnumbered
at least three to one and the bolsheviki
have great superiority in guns.

Was Quiet Affair Because There Was
Only One Candidate for an Office.

The city election in Montpelier was a
very quiet affair, and the appearances at
Soontime were that very light vote
would be cast. There was some rumor
about the street that so little interest
had been taken in the election that it
was possible that license vote might
result. There was only one candidate

were elected: Mayor, H. G. shurtlcff;

There were very few furries about
the action that the city might take upon
giving Heaton hospital an appropriation
this year, there being a rumor that there
would be a request for an increase and
that if this took place the $4,000 would

WHEELS OF PROSPERITY

Declared Roger W. Babson in Address
Before Conference of Governors

Washington, d. c., March 4.--Aetiv-
titles of government departments in the
work Of restoring business to normal
conditions and of alleviating unemploy-
ment were presented to governors and
mayors to-day at the second days ses-
sion of their conference at the White
House. Roger w. Babson, director Of the
department of labor's information and
education service, was the principal
speaker at the morning session, at which
Governor Coolidge Of Massachusetts pre-
sided.
All the government departments, MIR.
Babson told the conference, are working
in cooperation to extend industrial op
portunity, reduce prices and provide en-
ployment.
Something or somebody, however" he
added, 'is cumming up the wheels Of
prosperity"
Asserting that there were 100000 idle
workers in the United States and that
soldiers are returning by the thousands
and that they also want work, Mr.. Bah.
son said normal employment Of labor
could be obtained with a normal volume
Of new orders.
Manufacturers are willing to pro
duce," he continued, merchants are will
ing to stock up, when the public is ready
to buy. 1t is strongly recommended to
us to-day that the government should
now secure as much publicity for a move
meut to stimulate buying as it did dur
ing the war to retard buying
The speaker advocated a campaign Of
systematic advertising to stimulate buy
ing and told the governors and mayors
that the greatest service they could per-
form was to urge the public to buy
wisely, but buy now"

HOUSE VOTED STRONGLY
FOR IRISH CLAIMS
Action Was Taken After a Turbulent
All-Night Session, in Which There
Was Some Excitement.

Washington, d. c., March 4.--The House
early to-day, by vote Of ZIG to Al,
adopted the resolution expressing the
hope that the peace conference would
"favorably consider the claims of Ireland
to the right of self determination"
When the House resolution was re-
ceiyed by the Senate, Senator France OF
Maryland, Republican, asked unanimous
consent for its immediate consideration.
Senator Smith of Georgia, Democrat, OBJ
iected and demanded that the resolution
90 to the foreign affairs committee,
where a similar resolution has been pend
ing for several months.
Adoption of the resolution in the House
came after a turbulent all-night session
in which an organized effort was made
TO keep the resolution from coming to a
vote. The attempt was abandoned short
Representative Connally of Texas, ex-
pressed opposition TO the purpose of the
resolution, but Republican Leader Mann,
Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
and Others attempted parliamentary de-
lay throughout the night.
Representative Mann charged that
Democratic supporters of the resolution
had delayed bringing it to a vote until
just before adjournment, so that it would
not be passed by the Senate and so that
President Wilson would not be called on
to approve or disapprove the measure.
Il desire to advise the political party
that attempts TO throttle this resolution
that it is dealing with dynamite said
Representatives GaIliyan of Massachusetts,,
Democrat. 81 appeal to the House to
stop this nonsense and give eonsidera-
tion to a resolution for the relief Of a
people who have been suffering for sew
eral centuries, and to let the world know
that we believe in President Wilson when
he said we entered the war to make
small nations free
Mr.. Gallivan asserted that if the peace
conference adjourned without giving Ire
land self.determination Ireland would be
the only oppressed country in Europe"
and that England would be the only "op-
pressor of the old world"
In opposing the resolution, Represen-
tatiye Connally said the internal affairs
of Great Britain were no concern to the
people of the United States. The people
of this country, he asserted, would re-
sent a resolution in the British Parlia-
ment proposing sef-determination for
Porto Rico.
Representative Gallagher of Illinois,
author of the resolution, said that even
if the measure were not approved by the
Senate favorable action by the House
might obtain sympathetic consideration
for Ireland at the peace conference.
