SENATE PLEA FOR
IRELAND RUFFLES
ENGLISH PEOPLE
Columns of Editorials Are
Given by Press to Its
Discussion
HIT BACK AT WILSON
Some Can See Political Motives in
the Resolution to Influence
Irish Vote

The United States Senate's Irish
resolution took first place in the Eng
lish newspapers Monday morning.
Columns upon columns of editorials
on this subject were printed.
Washington dispatches reveal a
wide variety OF interpretations OF
the Senate's action, with none of
them tiatterlng 10 American political
methods. 1t is admitted that twist
ing OF the lions tail long has been
a 1avorite political sport in America,
but some observers now assert that
where formerly this proved harmless
enough, and sometimes even mutual
ly profitable, today it might provoke
a growl. In brief, at the present time
the lion does not like being cats
paw.
There are two general groups in
so far as opinion of the Senate resolu-
ton is concerned. The opinion of
the frst-the pro-American press un
der the leadership of Lord Northcliffe
and Viscount Burnham-refuses to
believe the Senate action indicated an
intrusion into British domestic pol
icy or anything other THAN drama
tically staged protest against Presi-
dent Wilson's alleged bartering and
weakening of the Monroe Doctrine.
Also it sees an ultimatum to the
peace conference that there must be
no meddling in American affairs un-
less those of Great Britain are SIM
ilarly exposed.

Indications are Not Many
Cases Will Be Tried
by jury
MANY DIVORCE CASES
Several Bankruptcy Cases Continued
One Week and Others arc
Suspended

But little business was done in
county court Tuesday because one
of the jurymen did not remember
the time to which court adjourned
and had to be sent for by the sheriff.
The case of the Williams Mfg. Co.
VS.. the Insurance Co. of North Am
erica is still on trial and may not be
closed until Thursday. Indications
are that there will not be very many
cases tried by jury at this term of
court.
While there are many divorce cases
on the printed docket the number
tried will not be very large. Many
of the cases on the divorce docket
have been there so long that the par
ties have gone back to living together
OF died. In some cases there are
"Cross Bills" which might be called
two cases, but as rule means only
one trial. Why not clean up the
docket?
The bankruptcy cases of Santolu-
cito, Deos and Chamberlain before
Referee E. A. Cook on Saturday
were continued one week. The cases
of Hays, Beckwith, Burdick, Jenness,
Roberts, Simpson, Bigelow and Dens-
more are suspended for non-payment'
of fees.
The Deputy Sheriffs assisting Sher-
iff w. H. Worthen at the present
term of court are A. N. Gilfillan of
Barnet, o. l.. Leonard of West Burke
and L. w. Gray of st. Johnsbury
Center.
Among the visitors at county
court on Tuesday was Oscar F.
Harvey, Esq, of Concord, Vt. Mr.
Harvey was born in st. Johnsbury,
May 10Th, 1888, and is one of the
oldest lawyers in Vermont.
