Vermont tuberculosis Assn.
Shows Bennington a
Close Second

The Vermont Tuberculosis Asso-
citation announces that from returns
to date St Johnsbury leads in the
sale Of Red Cross Christmas Seals
with a per capita sale of 81 seals,
followed by bennington with per
capita sale of 500 ST. Johnsbuly
sold 54,279 seals. Bennington
5S,254. If just the villages were
taken in reckoning, Bennington would
secure the lead
The highest per capita record be-
fore was made in Bennington in
1917 "a; to date Brandon stands
third with a per capita sale of 5.
Brattleboro, fourth, 4.6 Barre, fifth,
4. seals per capita.
The remarkable feature of the
sale of Christmas seals last year was
that it was practically all done by
school children In former years
thousands of letters containing one
dollars worth of seals were mailed.
This year only a few letters were
sent out: the school children were
given clear field and there is every
indication that the total sale will be
greater than that of any previous
year.
The cooperation Of the school chill
dren has saved the Tuberculosis As
ISOLATION considerable expense mon
ey. 1t is believed that when the
of children who sold
Christmas Seals become voters the
fact that they definitely worked for
public health will influence them to
have greater interest in this i'm
poltant field.

whereby anything that goes through
Mr.. Johnson's office will get quicker
attention. The great delay is that
most of the soldiers write letter and
do not designate it properly, that
they write it to one department, when
it should go to another, resulting in
mail lying for weeks some times,
waiting to be changed to the right of

Spartacans. Both sides suffered severe
losses
Halle on Satellite town is held by
government troops after an artillery
battle lasting for several days.
Magdeburg, Saxony-work has been
resumed The street cars and railroads
are running regularly.
Spartacans have been operating in
small bands in the outskirts of Berlin.
They are sniping in the darkness along
the main avenues Of approach to tho
city, and in some instances these ap-
proaches have been closed by barbed
wire entanglements and barriers Of
paving stones. That the Spartacans
are well equipped Is shown by the fact
that. the troops have captured from them
several machine guns and numerous
rifles.
Admission was made today that the
Central German government lacks power
to restore normal conditions in West
phalia, where fighting continues and
where but a small proportion of the
miners have returned to work. IL is
denied. however, that bolshevism has
entered into the situation which has
arisen there as result of the workers
setting up their own government, and
1t is declared the miners favor con
stitutional form of government. and
want TO establish an independent state.
Herr Giesberts, minister Of posts and
telegraphs, has gone in to the Ruhr dis
trict to make an attempt to re- establish
governmental authority.
The situation has become somewhat
easier throughout eastern and central
Germany, according to reports received
here last last night. Hamburg and
Bremen weie quiet, and no riOting is
reported in East Prussia, Silesia,
Schleswig and the greater part of Sax
ony. Baden, Wurtemberg and Ba-
varia are also quiet.
Military authorities are blamed by
the government press bureau for re-
cent disorders here, il being asserted
that they and the troops were so
nervous that they had lost their morale.
Soldiers were so nervous over boil
shevism,' says statement issued by
the bureau, that wherever they saw
four or five persons approaching them
in a group they would jump at the con-
clusion they were Reds, and would
start trouble"
Assertion is made there is no indi-
cation Of reorganized Red army, and
It is said the government is doing its
utmost to reassure the Berlin publicy
Spartacan rroclamations appeared on
the streets today. One poster bore the.
headline, "The Red Flag" and was
signed. "rhe Communist Party" The
principal burden Of the text was,
Either disarm the troops or give us
weapons" Another proclamation was
addressed to the Berlin proletariat and
exhorted workers to continue the strike.
Crowds in the streets eagerly drank
in the usual output of rumors, one of
which was that DR.. Wolfgang Kapp,
chancellor Of the reactionary govern
ment set up on March 13, had been ar
rested while trying to escape from Ger
many.
Essen is now menaced by famine. A

stronghold Of the German Reds, In ex :
pected in diplomatic and military circles
here to remain virtually unchanged un-
til the peace conferees in London de-
eide whether or not German Govern
ment troops shall be allowed in that
district.
The conference had before it yester
day protest by Czecho Slovakia
against such action. It failed to reach
a decision, and put over to today the
question whether the valley should be
allowed to remain as 1t is or If the
Czech protest should be overridden.
This is the only instance where the
Entente may take hand in the German
disorders, and then only because Ger
many, under the provisions of the
treaty of Versailles, does not control
that section of the country. 1t is
declared here that the Entente is still
maintaining hands off policy, not
withstanding the recurring reports that
the British mission In Berlin Is attempt
ing TO dictate to the Ebert government.
