MOVE TO RELIEVE
FINANCIAL SITUATION
French Government Lends Its Approval
to Proposals-Favored By Great
Britain-U. S. May Go Into
Conference

Paris, Thursday. Feb. 5,-Proposals
that an international financial confer
cnee be called Immediately to consider
measures for the relief of the inter
national exchange situation find sup.
port in French government circles. The
plan has been suggested by Great Brit.
ain and is said TO be the outgrowth Of
the recent bankers conference at Am
sterdam
Eventual participation by the United
States in such conference is expected
by French financiers. One prominent
banker said to-day he could not see
how the United States could stay ont,
since the market would probably be de-
moralzed by the exchange situation,
and that American business was even
more interested than that of Europe in
p solution of the exchange problem
that would reduce to a minimum the
necessity for European countries to re-
strict mportations from the United
States. IN the absence Of other etfec.
tive measures, he said, restrictions on
imports would probably become more
rigorous.
French opinion generally is not mis-
led bv theories which attribute the ex-
change situation to speculation and
other causes II is pretty well recog-
niaed that the cause is credit crisis
and financiers consider without resent
ment the fact that grave phase Of
the situation was opened with the shut
ting off by the United States OF credits
to cover French purchases.

Asked $5,2oo-No Appeal Will
Be Made from Findings.

the administrator and father of Ed

vas allowed for $3.50 by Commission
er Arthur Tildcn and George Mapiatty,
who heard the case in Grand Juror A..
A. Sargent Office yesterday afternoon.
No appeal to county court will be tax
en-. since it was SO agreed by all par
ties interested. Peter DePrato of Swan
ton was here with full power OF at
.ornev from the heirs TO adjust and set
tie thc claims. Attorneys for the plain
tiff were John w Gordon and =. X.
Davis. represented at the hearing By
his son, Dean. and for the DePrato es-
tate Fred NJ. Webster of Swanton and
i. Ward Carver of Barre.
This suit arose from the double trag-
edy which occurred at the DePrato
fruit store on North Main street the
afternoon Of Aug. 3, 1919. Antonio
Deprato. the owner of the newly ac-
auired fruit store, had been brooding
several months over his investment.
Young Roux. his clerk, had been a
stimulant to the trade of that store,
SO much so that DePrato did not wish
him to leave his employ. II was be-
hcyed at the time OF the shooting
though it will never be known, since
there was apparently no one else in the
store when il occurred, that Rioux re-
NAMED firm 20 his plans of going to
Detroit, Mich, to work, whereupon
DePrato shot and instantly killed his
clerk and then pierced his own heart
with q bullet.

animation OF applicants for citizenship

appearance for examination at the

the remaining number fail to meet this
requirement their names will not be
presented 10 the next naturalization

their admittance as citizenss until
another naturalization court could
be held, and that may not be for some
time after the coming session. While
in Vermont, Mr.. Small is conferring

principals. endeavoring to have them
establish night schools in each locality

zens but who cannot because they know
nothing of the language or laws Of the

acting on instructions from higher gov
ernment officials, who wish To encour-
age these foreigners living among Us

HOUSING PROBLEM
4RISES ~ BARRE
Board of Trade, in Seeking New Indus
tries, Is Confronted with New
Problem.

When the Barre Board Of Trade was
assured last fan that the Peerless knit
ting mihs would establish a factory
here, ultimately making employment
for many women and girls Of Barre
and vicinity. il did not let mp in its
efforts. Instead it kept on, looking for
other firms who wished to establish
such branches as the Peerless had done.
In the past few months there have been
several applications by different firms
TO establish plants here. one of these,
the Wells & Richardson company of
Burlington as many know, was accept
ed and now employs over 40 female
workers. Other firms. two of which
would employ between 200 and 300 em-
ployes, have made application for q 10
"a tion in Barre
Secretary Drew did not wish to state
the nature Of these hrms which have
applied until something more definite
could be given out, but the general
understanding Is a, already stated.
In considering these propositions the
board Is confronted with singular
problem. that of housing the people
who might move here TO work Ia these
industries The applicants NOS only
wish 20 know the employees available ~
such city but also the housing facIl-
itics Tor others. This answer cannot be
given. since there is no department IN
the government Of the city that can
give ANYTHING like an accurate report
on houses and tcucmenis vacant. With
a little cooperation an the part oi
nrorcrty owners. Mr. Drew believes
that something like an accurate and
official report could be gwen by him.
H, plan Is to have everyone who owns
4 dwelling house. and whose tcncments
are empty. report the number to hlm.
This. IN short tsnc, would bring
about tho desired results and possibly

bers--There Is Delay in Note to Ger
many Because of the Failure

of Germans.

Paris, Feb. g. Final consideration OF
the new note to be sent to Germany as
n result of the failure of her represen-
tative here to transmit the list of ac-
cused Germans demanded for extradi-
tion by the allies and the letter pre-.
pared to accompany it was deferred
bv the council of ambassadors at its
session this morning. The postpone
ment was caused by the non arrival IN
Paris of Lord Birkenhead, the British
lord high chancellor, and Sir Gordon
Hewart, the attorney general, who
were delayed in their journey from
London by fog in the English channel.
The extradition question will be taken
up this evening after the British repre-
