GREAT PEACE
CONFERENCE
CONVENES IN PARIS.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
First Question to be Settled.

Paris, Jan. 10 (by A. P)-The
peace congress, destined to be his
toric and on which the eyes of the
world are now conferred, was opened
this afternoon in the great Sale de
La Park. The proceedings, which
were confined to the election of
Georges Clemenceau, French Pre-
mier, AS permanent chairman of the
conference, an address of welcome
by the President of the French Re-
public, Raymond Poincare, and
speeches by President Wilson, Pre-
nier Lloyd George and Baron Sonni-
no, were characterized by expressions
Of lasting friendship and the appar-
ent determination of the representa-
tIves of the various nations to come
TO an amicable understanding with
respect to the problems to be decided
by the conference.
When President Poincare spoke,
the entire assembly stood, and the
fact that, according to custom, no APP
plause greeted his utterances gave
greater solelnnity to the scene.
VI. Clemenceau's acceptance of the
presidency of the congress was both
a feeling expression of personal graf
itude and definite outline of the
great questions Immediately ahead.

January Gets Two New
Moons, February None.

What seems to be an aratic dis
tribution of new moons has been call
ed to attention by students on the
1919 calendar. But for tn calendar
it might never have been Known.
January, for instance, has been
given two new moons. There was
one assigned to the night of the sec
ond day Of the month, and another
crowded into the last day of the
month, thus depriving February Of
ny new moon at all this year.
The injustice done February, how
ever, is emphasized by the fact that
March is also assigned two new moons
on the same days as January, the
first and the thirty-frst. No other
month Of this year has been so favor,
ed, and no other neglected like Feb.
ruary was.

VETOED BY GOVERNOR
Barge Terminal Does Not Get the
Governors Approval and Is
Returned

Governor Clement has vetoed both
barge terminal measures, H. 1919 and
II. 207. His veto message came to the
House Friday morning. His chief
reasons given for the veto are the
condition of state finances on account
of heavy expenditures at this time
and the fact that there are no barges
in sight for carrying products, in case
the terminals were built. He also
states in his message that he does
not think it proper time to advance
upon project of this nature, and
that it would be better to wait until
the narrows of Lake Champlain are
really widened.
The governor has also returned to
the Senate, without his signature, S.
95, providing that the public service
commission may initiate proceedings
for the alterations of railroad grade
crossings.

Council of Four at Critical
Stage of the Peace
Conference
MUST FACE THE FACTS
Governmnt Believes These People
Should be Deported as Soon
as Possible

PARIS, April 5-The Council of
four has reached the gravest part of
their deliberations on more than one
question. The statesmen composing
it have now definitely to return either
to the right or left.
They are now considering questions
upon which compromise is impossible
if a satisfactory peace is to be con-
cluded. Not only are the great prob
lens of the peace settlement, such as
the German frontiers on the west
and reparation, now under debate, but
the whole attitude and policy of the
Allies with regard to Bolshevism is
occupying their attention.
That they anticipate a speedy con-
clusion to their conservations was
stated by M. Pichon recently. 1t is
also shown by the preparations now
being made at Versailles for the meet
ing with the Germans. The apart
ments of Louis Fifteenth and Louis
Sixteenth will be prepared for big and
small meetings and for the use of
secretaries and the press. The Ger
man delegates probably will be lodged
in the hotel requisitioned by the Gov
ernment.
The nature of the debate in the
Council of Four is perhaps best in
dicated by a survey of the French
press, which is filled with appeals of
every kind to Premier Lloyd George
and President Wilson, calling upon
them to face the facts and realize
Frances condition as a result of her
tremendous sacrifices in the war.
Pertinax, in an article headed:
'"What England and the United
States Must Not Forget" Courteous
ly but frankly expresses the view
that Great Britain is yielding to the
tendency she always has shown after
every big European war, to withdraw
from European complications and
that she is burning with desire to
get back within her seagirt isle and
become herself again. America, who
for the first time inte1vened in Eu-
rope, has preceded Great Britain in
this tendency.
"Thus," he continues, ''it is easy
to understand the policy toward
which both London and Washington
are leading. AS few engagements as
possible, hands as free as possible,
a gelatinous League of Nations sub
-stituted for solid alliance, and, as
the crown of this easy and convent
ent idea, that by negotiating peace
with Germany, instead of imposing it
on her, even the desire for revenge
will be extinguished in the enemy's
heart.'

&esE!Lls 81! ISLAND
Are Spreading 'sheviki
Propaganda Among
Immigrants
TEACH IMMIGRANTS
French Press Courteously but Frank
ly Calls the Council to Realize
Frances Condition
TEACH IMMIGRANTS

That |. w. W. and other agitators
on Ellis Island awaiting deportation
to Europe have organized a Soviet
council and are spreading Bolshevist
propaganda among immigrants al1iv-
ing in this port from neutral coun-
tries, was declared yesterday in the
federal court by A. Warner Parker,
Special United States Attorney Gen
eral, and chief of the legal bureau of
the Department of Labor
Mr.. Parker's statement was made
at a hearing before Judge Hand on
writs Of habeas corpus obtained for
nineteen of the aliens on Ellis Island
who had been ordered deported by
/ immigration officials because of their
activities in recent disturbances in
Seattle and other Western cities.
The writs were obtained a week
ago by counsel for the |. w. w. or
ganization in New York. When they
were called for argument yesterday
MI. Parker opposed the motion of
counsel for the agitators that the ar
gument in the writs be postponed for
one month until further evidence
could be obtained in behalf of the
agitators.
"Your honor" said Mr.. Parker, 81
have received information by tele-
phone and by letter that the nine
teen men mentioned in these writs,
as we'll as others sent here for de-
portation from the State of Wash
ington, are teaching immigrants on
Ellis Island the principles of anar-
chy. The men and women among
these undesirables have formed a
Soviet council down there, and every
day they hold meetings, at which Boil
shevism is upheld They sing>> songs
from hymn books distributed among
them by Bolshevist sympathizers
here, and there is no question but
that such propaganda is menace.
"The situation is serious. There is
great danger of those agitators con-
taminating immigrants whose know
ledge of the benefits of the American
form of government is limited. 1t is
the belief of the government that
these people should be deported as
soon as possible, and delay of a
month in the argument on these w1its
would be detrimental to the interests
of the United States.'
Counsel for the aliens contended
that theorder of deportation in each
mans case was contrary/to the inten-
ton of the law on the subject. He
alleged that several of the men are
native born American citizens, but
that the immigration officials, after
perfunctory hearing had ordered
them deported to countries upon
which they have no claims for pro-
lection.
Louis Mische, one of the men
mentioned is a writer, he declared,
was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.
Parker declared that allegation had
been disproved by statements made
at various times by the man, and
official documents which establised
the fact that Mische was born I'M
Switzerland. Judge Hand adjourned
on the writs for one week.

THE RETENTION OF
NORMAL SCHOOLS
LEFT WITH BOARD
Bill to Force Continuance
of These Schools
Killed
HILLEGAS is HIT HARD
Teacher Training Course to Take Up
Work of Normal Schools at
Less Expense
HILLEGAS is HIT HARD

In the face of bitter and violent
attack on the commissioner and the
state board of education, the House
Thursday afternoon rejected H. 800
providing for the continuance of the
normal schools in Castleton and John
son, by a vote of 105 to 66. Mr.
Tracy of Johnson defended the bill
and declared that if the Legislature
had chance it would abolish the
state board of education, which had
raised standards so high that the
"poor girl in the calico dress" could
not be admitted to the normal
schools.
This was after Mr.. Austin Of Read
ing had submitted figures showing
the number of pupils at the johnson
school was 120 in 1915, SO in 1916,
81 in 1917 and % in 1918, and that
the expense of graduating pupils in
1918 was $1731 per pupil at Johnson
and $579 per pupil at Castleton.
"The policy of the state board of
education" said the gentleman from
Johnson, "is driving our girls into
mills and factories because they can't
get into our normal schools to be
trained as teachers.
"The time is coming when Vermont
will say that we don't want a for
eigner to run our schools"
Mr.. Writers of st. Johnsbury called
attention to the teacher training
courses which graduate teachers at
SIP per pupil and observed that the
rejection of.the bill simply left the
question with the board instead of
compelling it to continue the johnson
and Castleton schools.
