out. Such a stand does not mean peace but continued war, even tho is be on a smaller scale than before. And on the day follow ing the German declaration of defiance to the allies, in the American house of repre- sentatives there is introduced a resolution declaring war to be at an end Is there less .dlSloyalty in this than in Bergerb fight .agalnst the draft law? Berger's was an in dlvldual effort to defeat the war program of the government, Tinkham' s is aimed at completely withdrawing the support of the Amercan government from her allies
 The reason for Berger's action might have been pro-Germanism or actual hatred ot war, or anyone of hundred personal reasons. The reason for the Tinkham reso- luton Is purely political In the republi can fight against President Wilson and the democratic administration, the Lodge cotene Is taking no chances of allowing any credit to go to either that 1t can prevent. For political advantage the reacTonarv element of the republican party would if it cOuld put thru the resolution declaring war with Germany to be at an end The diff ference between Berger and Tinkham seems mostly technical, the one is a so- ciaIist, while the other sports a republican label.

THE UNREASONABLE SIN
(By Dr. Frank Crane.) The Unpardonable Sin is Fear.

Nothing matters much if you are not afraid
 The way to see Ghosts is to be afraid of them. The way to come to grief is to be afraid of coming to grief
 You can acquire almost any disease, from infantile paraylsis to senile decay, by being afraid of it.
 And large proportion of deaths is due to the fear of death
 One minute of fear may cost the lion tanner his life. Those who cannot manage horses and don't like them are they that are afraid of them.
 Fear not, and the world is yours.
 Be afraid, and all the kings horses and all the kings men cannot drag you to success. q
 Now, as Dickens would say, the bear Ing of this Is in its application.
 To begin at the bottom, the Stock Market Is pushed up by hope and down by fear. It's not what has happened or what will happen that causes panics, it is the fear of what may happen.
 War is a direct product of fear. Be cause nations fear each other they arm. Because they arm they fight
 Race prejudice, Negro lynching, Jap anese and Chinese batting, Anglophobia, Armenian massacres, Jewish progroms, all originate in a panicky fear that somebody will do something if we don't watch out. One race or group dreads what another (whom they do not understand may do; hence violence.
 The trouble between Labor and Capi- tai is fear. Fearing, they hate, fight, curse, lash themselves into unreasoning fury, and get nowhere.
 The cure of industrial unrest is trust. We must believe in each other. And he that beieveth not shall be damned.
 There is only one thing that can make Bolshevism, the Social and Industrial Rev. olution and all such threatening things dangerous That is, to be afraid of them.
 Humanity is always going to posses Philistines Hivites and Jebusites. It sWarms with dragons, monsters and man. eating hosts. Some are always trembling for the future and viewing with alarm But ever the command of Destiny is:
 "Only be thou strong, and of a good courage" So shall the Promised Land be yours.
 Fear was the weapon of Germany in the war By frightfulness she hoped to dismay us We won because we would not be scared.
 And Fear is the bugaboo invoked now to cheat the world of it's earned peace The Fear -mongers in France, in Great Britain, in Japan, in the United States, are clamor- ing for their own country not to enter into any world-compact.
 Because they are afraid.
 But this Nation is Unafraid.
 We were not Afraid to fight Germany
 We will not be fraid to trust our AL lies now.

Grave Problems are Now

APPARENT DEADLOCK
The Situation Dispatches Report is
Regarded Serious and
Uncertain
APPARENT DEADLOCK

WASHINGTON, Apr! q Tho
administration officials were ad-
viscd in a confidential clblcgram
from Paris that in consideration of
the problems confronting the Peace
Conference, such US Italy's AdriatiC
claims and question of alliance to
protect France from future aggres-
sion, President Wilson would take
no action which might in the slightest
degree jeopardize the League of Ma
tions or conflict with its fundamental
principles. The message was a reply
to cablegram of inquiry regarding
the Presidents attitude toward the
secret alliance which, according to
certain Paris newspapers, contem-
plated a special defensive pact to
be entered into by France, England
and United States The outcome of
the apparent deadlock over Italy's
Adratic claims is awaited IN Clicjal
quarters with evident anxiety. The
situation as pictured in press des-
patches is regarded as serious, and
there was no message from Paris
yesterday or today, similar to those of
last week reporting gratifying pro-
gress at the Peace table.

BOSTON, April 23-As far as the
Vcrmonters who are in Boston this
week are concerned the big event of
the week took place at 2 o'clock Tues
day afternoon when the divisional re-
view was given to the governors of
the New England states at Camp
Devens, in which the Goth Division
of which the Vermont boys are a
part paraded before the governors.
One of the most interesting features
of the afternoons entertainment was
the decoration of the boys who have
been awarded medalS for bravery
during their service in France and
who have not been able to get these
because of one reason OF another.
General Edwards in the presence Of
the governors and attending del
egations pinned the medals to the
breasts of the Vermont boys and 9th
ers in the division.
The ceremony Tuesday afternoon
was very much like that which took
place when the governor of the state
reviewed the National Guards only
that it was on divisional scale in
stead of the regimental plan Gen.
eral Edwards was in attendance as
were several other Northeastern de-
partment officers. The decoration Of
the colors of the regiment in the di-
vision was also done. One Of the re-
gretful features Of the afternoons
entertainment was that some over
500 of the Vermont boys who are on
the New Jersey expected Wednesday
morning could not participate in the
ceremonies.
Governor Clement and party left
the Parker house at II o'clock in
three automobiles. They were driv-
en- to the grounds where they visited
the personal officers of the division
after which they were shown the
courtesies of the camp by officers Of
the environments. In the governors
party were Major and Mrs. Harvey

Japan's Claims Backed by
England, France, Italy
and Russia
AN AKWARD SITUATION
Promise Was Made Two Years Ago
That Japan Should Have All
Islands North of Equator

PARIS, April 23-No delegation
outside those of the powers directly
concerned is more interested in the
outcome of the Adriatic controversy
than the Chinese, for there is point
of curious similarity between the
quarrel of Italy and Jugoslavia and
that of China and Japan over the
Chinese Province of Shantung. There
is also this difference: Italy is strug-
Cling to get the debatable territory
promised her by England and France
as an inducement to enter the war.
Japan is fighting to get admittedly
Chinese territory as a reward for let
ting China enter the war.
Japan bases her case on secret
agreements made by England,
France, Italy, and Russia in February
1917, they would support Japan's
claims to the German Pacific islands
north of the equator, and to the Chi
nese territory of Shantung from
which Germany had been ousted. Evil
dcnce Of these promises given to Jap
an is contained in hitherto unDuhlish-
cd notes which are part OF this cable
dispatch.
Neither President Wilson nor the
Chinese delegates knew of the exist
ence of these secret agreement when
they came to Paris. The disclosure
, was first made to Mr.. Wilson ut Il
meeting of the Council of Ten, when
the question of the mandatory system
as suggested By the American presi-
dent was first under discussion 1t was
then proposed that the German is
lands be disposed of by placing them
under mandates.
1t was an awkward moment. Mr..
Lloyd George remarked that an ar
rangement of different character
had already been reached with refer.
ence to the islands Mr.. Wilson asked
what it was. Lloyd George turned to
Baron Maxine for an explanation,
whereupon MI. Wilson was informed
that Japan had received the promise
of England, France, Italy and Rus
sia, two years before, that she should
have outright all the German is
lands north of the equator, and that
she had agreed that Australia should
have all to the south. 1t was COM
mon knowledge that such distribu-
ton had been long contemplated, but
nobody outside the Foreign Offices of
the governments directly involved
knew that there were definite, signed
agreements concerning the deal.
After learning so much Mr.. Wilson
asked if there were any other secret
agreements which had not been pro-
duced at the conference. 1t was
then admitted that the agreement
with Japan also included the British, !
French, and Italian promises to sup
port her claims to the Chinese Pro-
vince of Shantung as the price Japan
demanded for allowing China to enter
the war, despite the fact that China
had been repeatedly trying to get in
to the war against Germany of her
own volition.

GREATLY INDIGNANT
Kovno Unit is Branch Of the Red
Cross Mission to Poland Organ
lied in Paris

! German troops have attacked the
American Red Cross Mission at kov-
no, Lithuania, according to cable
gram received here recently from the
Lithuanian National Council from its
Paris representative. The message
gave neither the time nor the result
of the attack. A Lithuanian soldier
was killed in defending the Americans
it was said. The cablegram read:
"The American Red Cross Mission
at kovno, Lithuania, has been at
tackled by German soldiers. While
defending the Americans one Lithua-
MAN soldier was killed. This aroused
! tho greatest indignation in Kovno,
and the funeral of the hero developed
into u great demonstration against
Germans" -
No advices of an attack on the
mission have been received by Red
Cross authorities here. The kovno
unit is a branch of the American Red
Cross Mission to Poland. Its personnel
is not known here, as the work in Po-
land and Lithuania was organized in
Paris
"The American Relief Administra-
ton mas consulted the Lithuania del
egation in Paris and is sending sh; g
laden with food and medicine to Lith-
uania," the Councils cablegram add
ed. "Also an agreement has been
made with the American Red Cross
to send food, clothing, and medicine
into Lithuania from its base at Cop
cnhagen. kovno has become the scat
of the allied representatives in | it'll
uania.
"Thc independence of Lithunia is
becoming clearer. Shortly the cues
tion of Baltic States, Finland, Es-
thonia, Latpvia, and Lithuania, will
be discussed by the Peace Confer
ence.
"The Poles intend to recognize
Lithuania's independence and enter
into an agreement to form common
defensive military front against the
Bolsheviki. The fight of our heroic
army against Russian Bolshcviki is
oceeding successfully.
"Thn allies ere sending a mission TO
investigate Lithuania conditions"
WASHINGTON, April 23-Ameri-
can Red Cross officials had received
no confirmation Monday night of the
rcputcd attack by German troops on
its representative in Lithuaria. One
official stated that there was no dis
tinct mission sent by the Red Cross
to Lithuanja. A mission was sent,
however, to Poland, and some of
it members probably were operating
in the district where the attack is said
to have taken place.
