Santa Fe, Feb, G.-The Barth-

disposed of in the senate at 2:30
o'clock Tuesday. The committee on
privileges and election reported today
and recommended that Senator Barth
be unseated. A minority report was
filed by the two democratic members

that Senator Barth be retained as a

Then Peret continued, eve should
Immediately fix the amount Of our

must be made to pay to the full limit
of her financial ability without consid-
Grafton of her feelings. 1t will be time
enough then to decide about the
method of payment. She must pay
either in capital Immediately or in
yearly installments.
Not Much German Cash.
II do not believe that Germany at
the present time is in a position to
pay a large amount in cash. We must
not demand from her too heavy pay
ment now, so as not to place her In
position where she might argue
that we are strangling her and killing
the goose that is to lay the golden
eggs.
Whether the installments we shall
demand from Germany be twenty,
thirty or forty billions of francs year
ly depends entirely on our decision,
after an investigation, as to what
amount of money Germany will be able
to pay. These payments should be
guaranteed by customs tariffs decided
on at the conference, reserving for
ourselves the right to raise such
tariffs should Germany fail to meet
her obligations.
Would Avoid Reoccupancy.
This woul dact as a means of CO.
ercion because ! do not believe that
we should occupy Germany with mill
itary force until her debt is paid. 1t
is my opinion that once our armies
of occupation return from Germany
all measures should be taken to make
reoccupation unnecessary
Il believe in the creation of a finan-
cial society of nations and that all ex-
penses incurred by each nation
should be put IN common ana an IN

such debts are paid. Neutrals should
be included in this financial society

Paris, Feb 6.--In a yellow bound
pamphlet --- marked Covenant -
which is 900 words long and is print
ed in large type there is contained
new charter of world peace. 1t is the
constitution of the league of nations
as drafted for submission to the Paris
conference by the committee charged
with the duty.
Tonight Premier Lloyd George and
Foreign Minister Balfour are revising
their copies with Lord Cecil. while
President Wilson and Col. e. M.
House are similarly engaged Other
nations have copies of the document,
on which they will make suggestions
as to the final form of the league for
consideration at the next meeting OF
the plenary session.
Twenty-Five Sections.
The present form of the constitu-
ton, which Is expected to stand with
but few changes, consists OF a pre-
amble and twenty-five sections cover
ing the various activities which the
league will be called upon to exercise.
It is basically the work of the Ameri-
cans and the British, but they have
taken inspiration from every worthy
source, so that the work may be truly
described as universal in origin.
An effort has been made to keep
the instrument as elemental as possi-
BILE and to allow the decisions of per-
manent international courts to build
up body of precedents.
Compulsory Arbitration.
Compulsory arbitration is included
in the rules for the league. which
place emphasis upon delay IN the
actual disruption of relations and
stress particularly publicity of all
treaties. One point still open is the
question Of the use of coercion to en-
force the judgments of arbitration

AS announced in these dispatches
an interdiction against submarine
warfare included in the rules of war
is to be supplemental to the constltu-
ton.

couple at the Camp knew nothing of
it until Smith was brought in by the
strangers car and Leroy Russell who
had sighted them fifteen minutes be-
fore from off Calhoun's Camp learned
first of the accident after he had ar
rived in Middlebury.
Miss Frances Caswell of Middlebury
and Orren Nelson of Salisbury had
started out from Meehan's at the same
time with the other couple, but when
the dancing began they had turned
back and were on the floor of the pa
vilion when word reached them of the
disaster. Miss Caswell's brother,
Wright Caswel, was conspicuous a.
mong large number at the lake who
made every .endeavor to find the body.
The canoe in which Smith and Miss
Donahue were padding was later re-
covered and drawn up on the beach at
Zelenko Camp where the broken cane
in the forward seat was plainly an evil
denCe of one of the contributory causes
of the upset. The canoe, however was
otherwise sound and no action was sug-
gested against Mr. Meehan who de-
clared that every effort was made at the
pavilion to rent canoes only to eX-
perienced parties and during safe hours
on the lake.
The scene of the drowning, directly
out from the pathway that leads to
Ethan Aliens Cave on Mt. Moosala-
moo, is close to that where Ella Barton,
the l5-year-old daughter OF Mrs Ira
NJ Taylor was drowned in August H.
1905, in very similar canoe upset
while in company with Ducher Hamil-
ton. In all there have been less than
half dozen drowning accidents at the
lake in the last twenty-five years

The Ponte st, Angelo, as the bridge
in Rome is called, is the Pons Aelius of
Hadrain, built as an approach to his
mausoleum, and only intended for this,
as another public bridge existed close
by, at the time of its construction. 1t
is almost entirely ancient except the
parapets. The statues of St, Peter and
st. Paul, at the extremity, were erected
here by Clement VII. in the place Of
two chapels, in 1880, and the angels

of St. Paul is the work of Paolo Roma

No Latin Play Next Year

The proposed presentation of another
Latin play by students of the College
next Commencement has been aban-
doned. At a meeting of the President
and Trustees, after hearing reports on
the expense involved in the presenta-
ton, the matter was dropped.
J Prof Myron R. Sanford OF the Latin
department has had a number of in
quiries regarding the prospects for
another such Roman Drama as was so
successfully presented in 1900 and in
1910, but the expense, if a specially
constructed building is required, as it
has been in former years, would be es-
pecially heavy at the present price Of
building materials. The large building
is made necessary by the unusual pro-
portions OF the scenic effects in Forum,
Temples, and chorus room, as well as
for the accommodation of a thousand
spectators.
1t was also suggested that the new
gymnasium could be used next year,
although it would necessitate the cur
tailment of scenic effects and smaller
audiences. but neither this plan nor
that of special building apparently
was considered feasible as at the Trus-
tees meeting the matter was laid on
the table.

The MIDDLEBURY REGISTER
CHARLES E. CRANE
Editor and Business Manager.

Unmindful of the old adage that fools
rush in where angels fear to tread, it
is understood that SO signers have gone
on record as guarantors for another
season of the Middlebury Chautauqua,
It should be noted that these sigma
lures were secured before announce
ment could be made of the fact that
the 80 guarantors of this seasons Chau-
tauqua face deficit of $4,000, not
outstanding that the Chautauqua
Company itself enjoyed profitable
business here and carried away upwards
of a thousand dollars in ticket and
gate receipts.
The late P. T. Barnum said that the
people like to be humbugged, and The
Register, without depreciating the gen
orally good work of the Chautauqua
scheme, does emphatically jump on its
system of humbugging the public into
the belief that this large corporation is
acting to any great extent on altrust
principles. If such were the case it
could gracefully take an occasional loss,
but its scheme is always to play safe
so far as the Chautauqua is concerned,
and by its tendency to pose as a purely
community enterprise it shifts a large
percentage of the burden of its work
on few local victims,
There is no complaint from this quar-
ter as to the work or the expense in
volved, but the whole principle OF the
Chautauqua financing, and its camou-
Hage of community ideals, is more than
so per cent wrong. 1t has no better
ground for asking John Jones of Mid
dlebufy to sell its tickets and do its
work than has The Register, which is
devoted to the community, year in and
year out, to ask that same John Jones
to gratuitously solicit our subscrip-
tons simply because we are communi-
ty enterprise.
ANYTHING worth while to the COM
munity should be able to stand on its
own feet, and not lean upon the com
munity,
There is also subject to criticism
some of the Chautauquas extravagant
claims regarding many OF its speakers
and entertainers. The Chautauqua is
fairly good show, excellent for the
money which same could be said OF
many entertainments which Middle
bury enjoys in the regular order OF
things Let the Chautauqua present
its face squarely as something worth
while, charge the price that is necessary
to keep it running at profit, and take its
own chances with the world. We be-
Ieve it would stimulate a still higher
class of effort,
