By Law the Corporation
May Issue Up to Three

Washington, D. c., March 20-The war
finance corporation is considering float
ing large bond issue, probably Of $780,

The bonds would be exempt from all
taxes except estate, inheritance excess
profits, war profits and sur taxes, and
interest on $1,000 owned by any single
interest would be entirely tax exempt.
The corporation has authority to sell It's
bonds below par.
By law, the war finance corporation
may issue up to S3,000.O00,O0O Of bonds,
secured by collateral taken in connection
with the advances already made by the
corporation. No bonds have been issued
heretofore, but prospective large ad-
vances to railroads bring the corpora

magazine named "Our Boys" These
people have been in Brattleboro and
Bellows Falls A dispatch from Brattle-
boro to the Rutland Herald says: "Six
young men, in the uniform of sailors.
who have been canvassing for a maya
zine named Our Boys which they
claimed to be a patriotic publication
dealing with soldiers and sailors, have
found their work interrupted by the
Board of Trade, which the young men
informed people had given its endorse
ment to their canvass. The crew leader
was called into conference yesterday aft
ernoon with Secretary H. Il. Moflitt of
the Board of Trade. He showed creden-
tials and said the magazine had been
published two months by the Glass Mag
azine Publishing company of Pennington,
n j., which had 944 inhabitants at the
time of the last census and that the cir
cuation offices were in Fmdley, o. He
was told that another crew canvassed
for the same magazine here a short time
ago and he said the other crew was not
reliable. The leader was unable to show
q copy of the magazine. He said he had
one when he started out but that it had
become worn out through constant use" +"

Won Hindenburg Would Make Him Out a
Self-Sacrifcing Mortal.

Berlin, March 20 Via Copenhagen -
Aroused by recent criticism of former
Emperor William regarding his flight
from Germany to Holland last fall, Field
Mashal Won Hindenberg has prepared
and published defense of the ex-ruler's
action. After depicting the situation as
it existed in November, caused by the
weakening of the army, the doubtful re-
liability of the forces in the field and
the breaking cut of the revolution at
home, the field marshal writes:
"The peaceful return home Of the en-
peror then became impossible. 1t could
only have been carried out through the
forceful employment of loyal troops, and
civil war would have been added to the
hostilities with the enemy.
"The emperor could have betaken him
self to the fighting troops in order to
meet death at their head in a last attack
upon the enemy, but the armistice so
keenly desired by the people would there
by have been postponed and the lives of
many soldiers uselessly sacrificed. The
emperor finally, in agreement with his
advisers and after a severe mental strug-
gle, decided to leave the country, solely
in the hope that he could thereby best
serve the fatherland, save Germany from
further losses, distress and misery, and
restore peace and order to her"

HOUSE SUSTAINED VETO
OF WOMANS SUFFRAGE
AND THNIARTEDs SENATE
PAUL d. CORD ~
DIED IN HUN Prison
Official Notification Came to His Parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Gordon,
From War Department.

Official notification came to Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Gordon last night of the
death of their son, Private Paul D. Cor
don, in German prison camp, the tele-
gram coming from the war department.
1t stated that more details would be
supplied in letter which would follow,
Private Gordon was reported officially
last October as a prisoner in Limburg,
the word coming from the German prison
authorities and stating, as near as could
be determined, that the young man was
well. The family had heard nothing
from the young man some time prior to
that. A report told later by comrades
of the young man to John a. Gordon. a
member of the French army, now in
France, said that Private Gordon was
wounded in the battle of Cambria, was
captured and died of diphtheria last
October
The young man was born in Barre
March 4, 1892, and lived here until about
six years ago, when he obtained employ
ment with the Buffalo Electrical com
pany of Buffalo, N. Y. He attended
school in the grades, Spaulding high
school and Goddard seminary i'll this
city. At the outbreak of the Mexican
trouble with the United States he en-
listed in the New York National Guard
with which he saw service at the border
until one month before the declaration
of war with Germany. Again his pa.
triotism asserted itself and he re-en-
listed in the army with the same organ
ization. In May, 1918, he went overseas
with Co. d, lO2d engineers, of the 9th
division, and it was with men Of this
company that he was captured while 90
ing "over the top" with the tanks which
preceded in the attack
His many friends viii be sorry TO learn
of his death, as he was highly esteemed
by all. During his school life he was
considered as a genius with a pen or
paint brush, as he displayed much talent
in that work.
Besides his parents, he leaves one sis
ter, Lillian Gordon of New York, and
three brothers, Philip, q. petty officer in
the L. S. navy, who has just returned
from France; John A. Gordon, who has
served through the greater part of the
war, first as an ambulance driver with
foreign forces and lately in the French
army; and Norman Gordon, who recent
ly was discharged from the United
States army after being overseas.

St. Albans City Council Will Call Citi-

st. Albans, March 20--At a special
meeting of the city council last night to
consider the financial stringency of the
city, it was voted that the mayor call a
special city meeting, at which time one
of the matters to be considered will be
whether the city will vote TO assess a
tax in excess of the aggregate of all
taxes possible to be assessed by the city
council. Two hundred cents on the dol
lar of the grand list is the maximum the
city council can assess. This maximum
iss not. however, to be in excess of 30
cents state tax and 10 cents school tax.
Another matter to be considered will be
whether the city will vote to authorize
the issue of its negotiable bonds for an
amount not to exceed $4,000 for the
construction, reconstruction and the re-
pair of the streets.

mission at work celebrating the pro-
posed international air code. 1t is hoped
that its labors will be completed within
a week and the results presented to the
peace conference.
From the progress made by the sub
commission, it would appear that the
proposal is to subject traffic by the air
routes to virtually the same regulations
as that by ground routes. 1t is planned
to protect the customs regulations of the
various countries by establishing landing
grounds at the frontiers and making It
obligatory for pilots to land before pass
ing from one country to another in order
that the customs formalities may be
complied with at such landing points.
