Tremendous Loss of Life From War
 and Faminne

New York, Jan Thirty million men. women and children have died in Russia from violence, famine and dis ease in the last three years, according to statement on present conditions in the once great empire, which was made by Princess Cantacuzene-Sper- ansky, granddaughter of Ulysses Grant, in an appeal in behalf of the American central committee for Rus sian relief The tremendous death toll mentioned by the princess was exclu- sive she said of million men who had laid down their lives on the Russian front fighting for the allies.
 Princess Cantacuzene whose hus- band is an ex-commander of the czar's body-guard witnessed many of the ter rible scenes which resulted in the es- tablishment of the soviet regime in Russia She described how hundreds of German spies and agents poured in- to Russia following the revolution and industriously spread bolshevist propa- ganda among the peasants and Hitter ate. She declared that the Russian peasants were good natured and amia- ble until inflamed by vodka distri- buted lavishly by the German agents, who misled them by extravagant pro misses which they were too ignorant to realize were impossible of fulfillment.

STEEL STRIKE DECLARED
 OFF BY NATIONAL CHIEF

Two- Thirds of Those in First Walkout
 Back on Job as capituiation Comes
 Pittsburgh, Jan. 9.--With more than two-thirds of their strikers back on the jobs and others steadily deserting officials of steel workers unions last night officially declared off the strike which called last September 22, and which originally involved nearly half a million workmen.
 Announcement that the national committee had decided to proceed no further was contained in telegram sent to the headquarters of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor in Washing ton, to the heads of all international unions interested and to the organi- gers and field men in all districts
 The Steel Corporation" the tele- gram said. with the active assistance of the press. the courts. the federal troops. state police and many public officials. have denied steel workers their rights of free speech, free assem- blaze and the right to organize. and. by this arbitary and ruthless misuse of power, have brought about a condi- tion which has compelled the national committee for organizing Iron and Steel workers to vote today that the active strike phase of the steel cam paign is now at an end. A vigorous campaign of education and reorgani-
 ration begun and will not cease until industrial justice in the steel industry
 has been achieved. All steel workers
 now are at liberty to return to work
 pending for the next big organization movement

FINDS CRIME LESS IN 1920.
State Probation Secretary Credits De-
crease to Prohibition.

There was "a per cent decrease in
the number of offenders brought be-
fore the courts in II of the larger
cities in the state during the first
three months of the wear. from the
same period last year. according tn
Charles L. Chute. secretary Of the
state probation commission, who al
tributes the decrease in crime TO pro-
hibition. His figures show that As.
l43 offenders of all ages were ar
raigned in these courts during Jan
uary. February and March. 1920.
whereas 1855 offenders we're brought
before the same courts during the FIRST
three months last year. The decrease
is e3.3o2. or "a per cent.
In the opinion of practically all the
Judges and probation officers consult
ed this remarkable decrease in court
work is attributed largely to the ef-
fects Of prohibition" Mr.. Chute saws.
"gn practically all of the courts by
far the greatest decrease has been IN
eases of public intoNication. disorderly
conduct and other offenses growing cut
of drink. although there has been a
decrease in other ofienscs as well.
Every court covered by the in,es-
tigation showed reduction in court
cases due to prohibition. There were
no exceptions For instance. in all
the magistrates courts Of New York
CITY there was decrease Of y per
cent in cases of public intoxica'inn.
Only al4 persons we're brought he-
fore all the magistrates courts for
the first three months of this year tor
as compared with 1874
for the. same period last year.

WON FROM RAILROAD.
Maude Simpson Got Verdict of ST.
021.so from Central Vermont.

The jury in the case of Maude Simp-
son VS.. the Central Vermont Railroad
Co. returned a verdict in Washington
county court about O'Clock THURSDAY y
afternoon in favor of the plaintiff to
recover $l,02l.S0 for the loss by fire
of her goods, which were stored in the
station at Sheldon, while en- route from
the Sheldon fair to the Northfield fair.
Exceptions were taken by the defend
ant with the intention of carrying the
case to supreme court.
When the court came in at 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, Judge Wilson an
nounced adverse decision relative to
the motion made in the morning by the
defendant, asking that verdict be di-
rected for the defendant on the grounds
that the plaintiff had not made out a
case. The defendant introduced no tes-
timony, but closely crossexamined the
plaintiffs witnesses in an effort to
show that the station agent, while he
told the plaintiff to get the trunks
to the station, was not in his official
capacity; and there was some effort to
show that the same goods were in the
freight shipment as in the express, but
the witnesses seemed to be able to
clear up the matter all right,
The jury was composed of +. C..
Lamb, Warren; Michael Pembroke,
Middlesex; ID. b. +. Kent, Montpelier;

After the verdict was given the
court excused the jury until next Mon
day afternoon, there being no case
ready for the rest of the week and one
being set for Monday. The jury com.
mission during the afternoon drew 45
more iurymen. Only IL of the first
panel appeared for jury work, excuses
having been given many of them.

kept cleared by a large force of po-
lice.
Public and private agencies cleaned

scores began the long task of re-win-
downing many buildings in the finan-
cial district.
Two more names were added to the
death list with the announcement that
John Donahue, Brooklyn accountant,
and John W. Wier, died in hospitals Of
injuries.

O'Clock. A large majority of the active
members of the exchange were pres

Challenging statement from Sen.
'Harding's speech accepting the Repnb
liean presidential nomination that the
league was $50 utterly impotent TO pre-.
vent wars that it has not even been
tried, he declared the leagues opera
tion has already saved one war,
though Sen. Harding did not know IT, =
He recited the submission to the league
council by Sweden and Finland Of the
Aland island dispute.
He took issue with what he described
a. Sen. Harding's assertion that some
international court "as The Hague trib-
unal with teeth in il was the sole
agency for the preservation Of world
peace,
IAN Of which sounds very simple. :"
he continued. but whose teeth is the
senator going to put into The. Hague
tribunsll His critieisI. ~ the cove
nsnt of the league of nations is that
il may require the use Of the armed
forces Of the United States. Now our
armed forces are our teeth; the sane
tion Of the court is the force ii can
use To put its DEGREES and judgments
into operation; IL The Hague tribunal
is to have teeth il is to have force and
the only kind of force which operates
among nations IA armed force.
!. We get nowhere by changing the
name Of the thing; We get nowhere by
using the word teeth when We mean
