The demand for alsike clover seed
this spring has been much greater
than formerly, because seed Of this
clover is cheaper and has aSreater
covering capacity. Present indications
are that the area seeded in 1919 will
be so large as to reduce the possible
carry over of alsike seed to a minimum.
This will mean that the 1920 crop of
clover must be grown almost entirely
from seed harvested this year.

FORD RUN4BOUT
STOLEN At MONTPELIER
Machine of W. D. Walker Apparently
Was Overturned in Being Driven Out
Of the Garage, as Door Was
Ripped Of and Left.

The Ford runabout belonging to w. d.
Walker, who resides on upper Terrace
street, Montpelier, was stolen from the
garage near the house sometime during
last night, the theft being discovered
this morning That the thief upset the
car in making his getaway was evident
by conditions about the premises, one
door to the machine, glass from the
windshield and part of the top of the
auto being found. piled up against an
embankment. In spite of the accident
which seems TO have occurred, the Walk
er family heard no sounds out of the or
dinary during the night, but the family
of George Smith, who live below the
Walkers, heard a rumpus which they
thought little of at the time, but now
are inclined to connect with the missing
Ford.
Upper Terrace street extends out into
the farming section, so there was plenty
of opportunity for the thief to escape
with the car unseen, The matter was
reported to the sherifT's department this
forenoon, and it is thought the absence
of one door to the car and the smashed
windshield and other parts will aid ma
terially in the rounding up of the thief
The Walker family also discovered
that the marauder had entered the
house, but nothing was found missing. A
window screen which the family knows
was securely in place when they retired
was found removed when they arose this
morning.

GERMAN GRATITUDE
Won BY AMERICA FOR
CARE OF PRISONERS
Declared Daniel Steuchlen, Member Of
National Assembly--He Protested
Against Further Retention OF
German Prisoners in
France.

Berlin, Monday, Aug Is by the As
soeiated Press America has won the
deep gratitude OF Germany for her treat
ment of prisoners Of war and her labors
for their behalf in Siberia, declared Dan
iel Steuchlsn, member Of the national
assembly and imperial commissioner for
war and civilian prisoners, to-day at a
meeting of majority socialists protest
ing against the further retention of Ger.
man prisoners in France.
The meeting was the first move by the
socialists in the plan to bring women
forward as an influence for the return
OF prisoners, it being felt that they can
arouse more sympathy than men. Herr
Steuchlen blamed France for the holding
of these prisoners and said the condi.
tion of men there was bad. He said
the men were treated well in Italy, but
that in Japan they were miserable, ow-
ing to different customs, habits and
methods OF housing the prisoners He
said 200 Americans working in Siberia
among German and Austrian prisoners
are doing good work, The empire is
spending seven million marks per month
for the maintenance of these prisoners,
in addition to which there are huge
sums available from private charity.
He condemned the pan-Gsrmans for
using the prisoner question merely as
political weapon against the govern
ment calling them camarilla afraid Of
light" The meeting concluded with a
protest against Premier Clemenceau and
French military authorities for holding
German prisoners there.
Reports state that German prisoners
in France and England have been told
that Germany does not really want them
to return. these nImors persisting in
spite of the governments repeated pro.
tests at Versailles Confdentially and
secretly. many say the government ap.
preciates there would be tremendous
added food problem should the prisoners
be suddenly returned to Germany.

THE MEXICAN BORDER
IN PURSUIT OF BANDITS
MGR. C.. F. MILLAR LEAVES
THE TENNEY COMPANY
Becomes Associated with George Strait
on in the Granite Industry and
Will Spend Part of His Time
Away from Barre.

Announcement made from the Office of
the Montpelier & Barre Light & Power
company to-day confirms the rumor, cur
rent since last week, of the resignation
of Clinton F. Millar, for several years
the company's efficient Barre manager
Mr. Millar resigns to associate himself
with the Barre granite industry, having
l-estabIished connection with George
Straiton, one of the larger manufsctur-
ing concerns in the district His success
sor has not been appointed, although Of
fcials of the power company say that
number of names are receiving consid-
eration
In accepting the resignation of Mr..
Millar, local and Boston officials OF the
company, which is one of the subsidiary
units of the Tenney company, express
| themselves in terms of regret, and it was
with reluctance that the fnality of the
managers decision was learned. That
the general public, including industrial
| and municipal interests, as well as do
mestic users of light and power, share
this feeling is evidenced by the high es-
| TEEN in which the retiring official has
been held Mr.. Millar came to Barre in
| 1909 to take the local management Of
the old Consolidated Lighting company.
| Previously he had been superintendent
| for the Portland Me-, Electric Lighting
company, having gone to Maine from
! Boston, where he served as a construc-
/ +. tx,, ba EapovaI Jfnaf
pany for two years. Mr.. Millar complet-
ed his technical education at the Massa
| chusetts Institute of Technology, and
has always been known among his asso
ciates as an executive of the most pro-
! gressive type.
| When the Tenney company took over
large utilities in Washington county a
few years ago, the services of Mr.. Millar
were retained. He has been an important
factor in maintaining friendly relations
between the public and the company. His
| patience, courtesy and tact have won
friendships in many trying situations,
and it is undoubtedly with a sense Of
real loss that patrons of the NJ. & B. l.
& p. Co learn of his decision to retire.
| Mr.. Millar will sever his connection
with the company around Sept 10. He
win retain his residence in Barre, how
ever, although his new duties as a repre-
sentative of George Straiton win require
his presence elsewhere part of the
time. Mr.. Millar expects to represent the
company in the middle West, at times in
the East. and during part of the year
he will be at the concerns Office in Barre.
He will bring to his new work a reputa-
| tion for efficient management, energy,
and a large capacity for extending good
will His Barre and Montpelier friends
will wish him an increasing measure Of
! success
