DISPOSITION OF

Lengthy Discussion Last Night as to
Advisability of Making Approprla-
ton for tuberculosis Drive-Finan-
cial Report by Treasurer.

Every person who contributed to the
BrattIeboro War Chest will be urged to-
attend meeting next Wednesday eve
ming to determine what disposition shall
be made of the $I5,9l042 balance which
now remains in the hands of the treas
urer. This matter was decided by vote
taken last evening at meeting of about
25 subscribers of the association held in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
The action followed somewhat
lengthy discussion as to the advisability
of appropriating 81 100 from the War
Chest to meet this towns quota in the
Vermont tuberculosis drive of next
week. Those who opposed this appro-
priation did so on the ground that if
one appropriation of this sort were
made others would follow and the bal
ance in the treasury would soon be used
up, whereas it was the feeling of good
many subscribers that the money should
be held intact for some sort of soldiers
memorial.
Effort will be made to secure a large
and representative attendance at next
Wednesdays meeting so that the action
taken will be expressive of the wishes
of majority of those who contributed
to the War Chest
The following report of the finances
of the association was made by I'll. z

FRANCE NEEDS FARMERS
IMPORTS FROM POLAND
nv limited Press)]


Paris, Nov. 10. (By Mail. Scar
city of farm labor is, but one of the
many problems arising from the war
which France is seeking to solve and
as a result food prices continue high.
SO serious has the situation become
that large farm owners have - de-
manded that the Government 90 into
other countries in an effort to secure
workers who will remain on the farms
and provide food for France. Act
ing on these requests and with the
consent of the Polish government
this country has recently established
a farmland recruiting mission IN
Warsaw.
The farmer-soldier of France suf-
fered heavily during the war, form
ing as he did the bulk of the French
armies. The percentage of mortal
ity among the peasants was great,
while wounds rendered other thous-
ands unfit for service in the fields.
Combined with this was the bring
ing of the peasant into contact with
the life of the towns and cities and
the wages paid there all of which has
cut wide swath ina country which
before the war was noted for it's large
and Industrious peasant population.

LONDON CHURCH AND
] STAGE CLOSELY LINKED

london, Nov. 10. (By Mail. )-Nev-
err before in London have church and
stage been 80 closely linked together.
while most of the plays now run
ries of sermons each one dealing with
disposition preachers are taking ad-
vantage Of this to attract large con-
gregations to their ~ churches by
preaching sermons on the subjects
which hold foOtlight sway.
In the little church of st. Thomas,
Rev. Clarence May has started Sc
ries of servons, each one dealing with
a moral as pointed out by the stage.
His" first sermon was on thes'Un-
kfown," a play by Somerset Maui
CHAM, which has for foundation the
problem Has the war killed faith? p
The next sermon dealt with 1.-THE
Wandering Jew" play in which
Matheson LANCE is showing the suf-
ferings OF the Jews thru the ages.
Another sermon has for its basis
1.-THE Crossing" play dealing with
alp earthbound soul in which the
dead apear in spirit form" on the
stage and converse with the living.
THE Right to Strike" play
which is drawing multitudes to the
Lyric theatre. also drew multitudes
to the Rev. Mays church when he
announced it as his text FOR the next
sermon on his list.
May intends next to discuss the
problem Of human hypocrisy as It
reveals itself in 1.-THE Prude's Fall"
now being played at Wyndhams
theatre.

RECLAIMED PROVINCES
MAKE UP FOR WAR TOLL
(By United Press)

Paris, Nov. 22.-Despite Frances
loss Of 1,750,0OO soldiers during the
war, as we'll as the fact that her
death rate always tends to exceed
her birth rate, she is confident that
1921, will not show decrease in
population.
However, this will be due exclu-
siYely to the fact that there will
be included in her census the popula-
ton of the provinces returned to her
by the war, namely the departments
of the Upper and Lower Rhine and
the Moselle, or in other words, AL
sace-Lorraine. 1t is expected that
the total population will thus remain
close to 40,00O;OO0.
Frances last census was taken in
1911 and showed population in
France Of 39,6O1,5O9 and a popula-
ton for France and Algeria together
Of 45,156,337,. which included L.
1885 foreigners. :
The French census is taken every
five years, but tn<March, 1916, when
the next census should have been
taken, France had ten departments
being occupied by the enemy, while
thousands upon thousands Of inhabi-
tants of other departments in which
fighting was taking place had been
obliged to fee. AS a consequence
the census went over until March OF
next year. ~. ~
The last German census of the
population of Alsace-Lorraine placed
1t at 1,874,014 which is expected
just about to Offset Frances loss in
population caused by her dead dur.
ing the war, as we'll as her decreased
birth-rate resulting from the same
cause.

A. Bath Quarter Sessions, the first
case to be tried by a mixed jury OF

be resumed at q o'clock. A woman

The magistrate CALAMITY extended
the interval by a quarter OF an hour.
At another Quarter Sessions, the

were serving on the jury might be al

The women, with tears in their
eyes, watched their husbands turned
away, doomed to hunger as an alter
native to bread and cheese, when the
magistrate Indignantly ordered them
out of the court and asked them not
to make frivolous interruptions"
One of the women couldn't under
stand the word frivolous as applied
to, her old mans dinner, because, as
she explained, He eats summat
enormous!" and to her mind his din
ner was avery solid fact.
When women jurors for the first
time sat at Walsall Quarter Sessions,
counsel stated that the opening case
was an unpleasant and indecent one,
which women might not like to try in
company with men. > ~ g."
The Recorder said he could not
graft any new principle on law as
now framed, and the case was tried
by the mixed jury. This puts an end
to the system which has hitherto OBJ
taitled of ordering women out Of court
whenever any case specially offensive
was on the lists for hearing.
Now that women are learing to fill
the job so nicely, male jurymen are
trying to slip out OF their obligations.
In one court, a daring protester
when his name was read out, replied

not called upon to serve. W.

The Garden City football team will
come for game Friday with the
Liberal High School team.
Garden City has a good record,
has met some of the strongest teams
Of the country and has not yet been
defeated If Liberal takes the game
Friday it will make them champions
OF a large territory.
The fellows have been working
hard for this game and are IN good
condition and they will go ont1 the
field with the determination to take
the game if skill and energy can do
it.
One thing which will contribute
much to the success of the team is
good support on the side lines.
Should there be crowd such as at
tended the Pratt game it would go
long way toward winning the game.
1t is not only encouraging to the
home players, but puts the visiting
team at disadvantage to have a
loyal crowd of home rooters yelling
their heads off.
We hope to see the equal of the
crowd which witnessed the games with
Pratt and Dodge City as there is no
doubt but what this game will be
equal to those.
Come out Friday and help Liberal
take one of the hardest games of
the season. 1t will be a real contest
from start to finish so be on hand
early and show the boys you're for
them.
