Washington, Aug. 10-The American
government declared to-day for the main
tenance Of the political Independence and
territorial integrity of Poland and
against any ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Russia.
In note addressed to the Italian am
bassador, Secretary Colby speaking with
the approval and consent of President
Wilson. said the United States took mo
exception" to the efforts to arrange an
armlstice between Poland anc Russia and
would regard with satisfaction" a dec
laration by the allied and associated pow
ers that the Territorial integrity and
boundaries" of Russia would be respected
The government fatty stated, however,
that 1t would not. "at least for the pres
ent." participate in any plan for the ex-
panston Of the armistice negotiations in
general European conference because
1t would in all probability involve two
results from which the United States
strongly recols."
THE recognition Of the Bolshevist re-
gime.
"A settlement OF Russian problems al
most inevitably upon the basis OF dis
memberment of Russia"
The note was in response to an "agree-
able intimetion" from the Italian ambas-
sador that his government would welcome
statement of the views of the Ameri-
can government on the Polish situation.
Much Of it was devoted to a statement of
the sympathetic feeling of the United
States toward the Russian people In re-
viewing past events as evidence of this
sympathy. the secretary of State disclose

Mr.. Colby revealed that the American
government had withheld its approval
from the decision of the supreme coun-
Gil at Paris recognizing the independence

GOVT. PASSES IRISH
COERCION BILL IN
SCENE OF UPROA Il
Joseph Devln, Member from Belfast Defes
Authority of House of Commons Accuses
-Devlin Is Suspended and Stalks Out-Irish
Members and Labor Champions Follow Him

London, Aug. 6.-By an Overwhelming
majority the government this evening
damned through the Irish coercion bill
designed to restore order in Ireland
Lengthy debates preceded the voting In
the House of Commons, but lacking the
presence of Premier Lloyd George and
Herbert II. Asquith they did not stir the
interest which attached to yesterdays dis
cussion, and were far less acrimonious.
A notable exception was a furious out.
burst by Joseph Devlin, nationalist mem.
Der from Belfast who defed the authority
of the House to bring him to order and
precipitated an exciting scene, as a result
of which he was suspended. He stalkec
out followed by all the other Irish mem
bers and almost the entire labor repre-
sentation.
LLOYD GEORGE EXCORIATED
For time 1t seemed as though there
was no way for suppresslng Mr.. Devlin
except removing him bodily He Embossed
a flood of invective against the bill. de-
manded that Mr.. Lloyd George be sum-
moned to "Share responsibility for this
inquitous measure and vehemently as
serted the reason the premier was absent
was that he might "concoct another wal
with Russia"
From the government benches cries OF
Order! Order' arose with admonitions
to respect the House.
Mr.. Devlin shouted in reply: II have nc

OUTLOOK DARK FOR
WOODEN MILLS HERE
No Orders in Sight and Shut
Down Looks to Be of Long
Duration-S25O,O0O Lost in
Wages Now-Employes Seek
ing Other Work

That so far as can be ascertained at
present the shutdown of the American
Wooden company's mills at Winooski will
be of long duration was the statement
made by officials Of the company Thurs
day to a Free Press man. 1T Is SIM
ply a case of no orders, and I can see
none on the way. The outlook is very I'M
favorable" was the statement Of one Of
the leading officials of the company.
The mill. which a short time ago en-
ployed 1000 people and paid in salaries to
the workmen and workwomen about a
quarter of million dollars a month. is
now employing only about score OF
men. who are working on samples and
few others who are finishing up work
which was started. From all that the Of
ficials of the mill know, the present con-
dit,ons will continue for several months.
There is not an encouraging sign any
where.
Various reports have been current that
different branches Of the company's
| mills were open in several places. but for
| the most part these reports have been dis
claimed by the people in a position to
! know. 1t looks like a dull fall for the
wooden mill workers. At the present time
| tho overseers, second hands and others
| in charge Of departments are retained by
the company, but practically none of the
! people under them are now working for
the American Wooden company anywhere.
| Various rumors have been circulated
about New England to the effect that
work was to be resumed in wooden mills,
and these rumors were circulated 30
some extent concerning the mills In Wi
nposki. Some reports We're to the effect
! that the mills would start August 49,
| pytil nj 10
Labor Day as the date. There is abso-
lutely no foundation for any such reports
| here.
It Is believed that the reports Of near
resumption Of work arose from the fact
that In most of the mills a few people
have been employed to make samples FOL
the spring business. In Providence, II
l., these reports gained the widest circu
lation, but no official corroboration OF
them could be secured. In Lawrence the
same reports are about but they arr
also apparently groundless there. ac
cording to recent dispatches from there
The officials of the mills have Issued de-
malls of the reports.
Since the mills in Winooski closed, thu
receipts of Burlington and Winooski hav'
been curtailed quarter Of million dol
lars and the effect is already being fel
in the stores. There appears to be pient!
Of employment of one kind or another
=. however. for there Is little idleness ex
, cepting In cases where the employees ar
taking vacations. A large number OF tn
employees went out on farms, the source
from which much labor came during tn
unprecedented rush Of the past few years
Other industries In this vicinity nav
: profted by the closing Of the big mills L
to increase the number OF their employe
/ up to normal for the first time in man

, production in these lines has followed.

Bring on the army of occupation
shouted Mr. Devlin, but he Gained down
when the speaker impressive in wig and
gown entered the chamber and with dig
nifty seated himself on the dais. He was
acquainted with Mr.. Devlin's conduct and
put a motion to the house to suspend
him.
DEVLIN SUSPENDED
Devlin appeared to take the sentence
philosophically and when the vote on the
motion to exclude him was announced he
walked out rapidly before the speaker
could conclude the request that he leave.
The ensuing exodus of Irish members and
labor champions left only handful of
liberals to continue the fight on the bill
and there was no further excitement until
application of closure met with angry
shouts of Gagged"
The only interesting point Of the debate
was an Intellectual attempt to induce the
government to limit operation Of the act
to one year. Sir Donald MacLean, who
moved an amendment to this effect. de-
caring that to place Ireland under per-
manent martial law would strike a blow
at any future attempt at reapproachment
between the two peoples.
AMENDMENT TO ACT REFUSED
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary
for Ireland opposing this amendment said
the government would consider the mat
ter and 1t hoped it would be possible to
repeal the act before a year expired. The
amendment was rejected by large ma
jority.
Washington, Aug. 6.-(By the Associated
Press)-Any persons upon whom sentences
of imprisonment have been passed in Ire
land could be conveyed to and detained
in any prison in the United Kingdom un-
der the terms Of the Irish coercion bill
which passed the third reading to-day In
the British House Of Commons and the
text of which was made public here to-
day by the British embassy. This section
of the measure applies to persons already
sentenced as we'll as those who may here
after be sentenced.
In general the new law would transfer
the duties Of crown tribunals in Ireland
to courts martial. The military courts
also would take over the duties Of cor
oners and would have the power to decide
cases without Jury.

PROCTORS PRESENT
LAND AND $50, 00O
Wiling to Contribute to Establish
ment of New Preventorium
at Plttsford


Burlington, March 24.-Thomas
Magner. president of the Vermont Tub
erculosis association, has received a
letter from Redfield Proctor in which
MIR. Proctor and his sister, Miss Emily
Dutton Proctor, offer to provide site
of % acres or more in the town of
Pittsford for new preyentorium and
100000 for constructing the building,
provided the Vermont tuberculosis as
ISOLATION before July LIST of this year
shall raise $4,000 additional for its
general work and that the prevent
orum shall be a memorial to the late
DR. Charles S. Caverly.
Mr.. Magner announced that the cam
paign to raise $4,000 which must be
secured for the general work of the
tuberculosis association in order to
benefit from this offer will be conduct
ed during the week beginning Monday
May 81.
Hon. Fred A. Rowland of Montpelier
president of the National Life Insur-
ance Co, has consented to be state
chairman for the drive and will ap-
poinl chairman for every county inn
mediately.
Last December there was a financial
campaign in every state in the union to
raise funds to more adequately fight
tuberculosis at that time. The Yer
mont Tuberculosis association out
lined the work it fel. it should do in
Vermont and estimated the cost for
doing the same work to be $4,000.
The association decided to put on a
campaign TO raise the amount in con
lnection with other states, but on ac-
count with other states, hut on ac-
count of weather conditions last De
cember the drive was postponed until
spring. Now that this splendid offer
| has come from Mr. Proctor there is
every reason to believe that Vernon
ters will contribute the sum necessary
to make an adequate campaign against
the dread disease and to establish an
institution where many boys and girls
will be 'arted on the road to health
and happiness.
