Were ranged along the floor.

To grind with ilendish skill:

King, John T.. came to town Sunday, He came and he saw and he went
 away, When he came no crowd as in days of Sought bestowal of favors, and it must be told No one disturbed his pietee And he spent the day with his familee,
 Alone. He learned from friends that he met in town ,That Frank E.. Ballard had usurped And with John H. Leonard now owned
 the town
 Politicallee. So King, John T., went back And he didn't even take a crack At the new crowned Kings Who had done some things To the old machineree. But Ballard, the King, and Leonard,
 the King. Straightway went forth and did bring To this town the party candidates To show the populace what they would have to face If they failed to bow and likewise kow-tow To the Kings that did King displace. For thus Lake spoke, he's Governor ''You may say to them that they all
 may know That he who fails to come across and
 see the boss. The money digger boss mean, Will never more be seen by me,

 cold
 But they'll get no returns in the shape

America saved Armenia from star vation last year"
 sAt least half million are living today who would have perished had it not been for American philan- thropy. pr. Ohandjanian the Pre- mier and President of the Armenian n Republic, Governors, Mayors and al in authority unite in their expressions of deep appreciation of what America has done for Armenia
 Charles V. Vickrey,. secretary of the Near East Relief of New York city who returned from a tour of inspec- tion of the Near East from Constan- tinople to TranScaucasia on the Mau- retania, issued this statement respect ing the accomplishments of American relief work in Armenia and Syria.
 "But Armenia is not a beggar na- tion',' MT. Vickery went on. 'FWho1Iy aside from the million Armenians who perished in cold-b1ooded massa- cres and deportations, the Armenians probably lost more men in open battle than any other of the Allies.
 Throughout the war they success fully engaged large forces of the enemy on the Eastern Turkish front thereby thwarting Germany's Pan- Turanian program and materially as- sisting A1lenby in his strategic ad- vance from the south into Palestine and Syria.
 But since the arnistice Europe has practically deserted her Asiatic Allies.

MUCH INTEREST OVER MEXIC0'S
 NEW TARIFF
(By Louis P. Kirby, International News Service Staff Correspondent.)

(By Louis P. Kirby, International News Service Staff Correspondent.) Mexico City, Mexico, Oct. 6-There is great interest in Mexico'S proposed new tariff, but little can be learned about it. Several commissions have been appointed to assist the Congress sionaI committeee and Government officers in the preparation of the tariff bill, but members of these commits sons say that they do not know what will be done. They are merely ad- visory, they say. When they submit their reports, their suggestions may not be adopted.
 It is known however, that the Mexican Government proposed to pass a high tariff bill in the hope of developing industries in Mexico.
 Business men say, however, that the burdens placed upon industry by the new constitution will make it [ difficult, no matter how high the | tariff is placed, to bring factories to

 WAS ALL THAT.
 SAVED LAND

. Posen, Poland, Oct 6.-An official Poland has told the Associated Press of the French Military Mission in correspondent that the Polish army would have been conquered by the Bolshevik armies of Russia if the French had not supported the Poless This notwithstandin the fact that the Poles beat back the Russian drive
 ~ The French official based his state- nnent upon his belief that the Rus sian army was superior to the Polish arm yas an effective fighting machine with the exception of the German trained troops of Posen. The French man said he believed the Russian organization has been, and still IS, underestimated and because of thls tendency to belittle the Russian ar- mics the menace to Poland's exist ence, if not to all Western Europe, remains imminent and real.
 The official said some Russian was not true the army was "a bare foot rabble'. He was convin"o1 the majority of the Russian divisions were "we1l-organized units of good than the Poles" The Poles had 25,- 900 officers but only 5000 of them ever went to the front although they were sore1y needed there, he said. There was evidence that certain Po- fish companies had fought without officers, he asserted, and that during the retreat these were without com manders.
 An American artillery officer who had spent a year in Russia and had been under fire at the Polish front told the correspondent he had seen the Poles "plant their artillery in the most ridiculous places, on the exposed sides of hills and right in the open. when they could have readily ' concealed it and made it effective.
 A neutral aviator who han Soawn over the front several times when "battles'' were said to be in progress said what he saw of the fighting was 1.-two armies keeping about three hours apart. the Poles retreating when the Russian advanced, and the Russians running when the Poles turned and advanced" He said this "schedule sometimes got disarranged and there was collision between opposing attachments" but he had not witnessed any of these clashes.
 A number of Polish officers with whom the correspondent talked said they were forced to admit the French saved the day but the weakness of their officers was explained by the fact that in former years Poles had not been permitted to hold commis- sions in the army, either in Russian,
 German or Austrian Poland, and that the time had been too short to devel- op staff of highly trained officers.

 nation in the Near East" FINDS JAPANESE PLAN TO GRAB CHINA RAILROAD.

Peking, Oct. 5.-The Japanese be- tray an ambition to monopolize the operation of the Chinese Eastern Railway, in the opinion of a com mission consisting of an American, Frenchman and an Englishman which was sent by the Chinese government to Manchuria and Eastern Siberia this summer to inquire into political con ditions there particularly as they af- fected the railway.
 The commission was composed of Dr. J. c. Ferguson, American advisor to the President of China IA. Padoux, French financial advisor to the Chi nese government; and B. Lenox-Simp- son, British whose official title is sta tistician to the President
 They left Peking June 16 and in spected the whole line of the Chinese Eastern and later continued their in vestigations in VIadivostok. In a, re- port to the Chinese government the commission states:
 s'The Japanese attitude toward the Chinese Eastern railway today is cor rect in outward appearances: never theleSS beneath the surface are to be seen numerous indications of their it's administration.
 'NThey overlook no opportunity to interefere with the working of the line; they consta nt1y watch the move ment of traffic, and they have made every possible attempt to install them selves in a commanding position both along the railway and in buildings be- longing t0 the company. Last year they made a deliberate attempt to seize the section south of Harbin (Changch un-Harbin) by moving up to Harbin all material necessary to convert the line from Russian broad gauge to standard gauge (South Man churian system), an effort which was successfully resisted by the agents of the Allied powers. Since then they have attempted to cover this failure by offering to lease from the Chinese Eastern for a term of years all the freight space on the cnangchun- Harbin section and thus to establish an effective Japanese monopoly an effort which also has come toSnaught.'' Under the head of criticisms of Chinese policing, the commission re- ported that 'tcountry districts. par ticu1arly the Sungari valley and the sections of the railway in the noun tainous districts of eastern kirin, are full of bands of hunghutze Chinese bandits) preying upon the country and frequently plundering steamers and junks.

MUST RETURN cows
And Must Pay $3.50 Damages for Time
Cows Were Withheld.

Burlington, March l3.-Thomas
Reeves, trustee in bankruptcy of the
estate of Thomas Redmond of Mont
pelier, formerly of Shelburne, must re-
turn to Mrs. Katie Redmond, wife of
Thomas Redmond, three black and
white heifers, which were taken from
her in 1914 by a writ of replevin, and
must pay her $3.50 damages to cover
the loss during the period that they
were withheld from her, according to
the verdict of the jury in the case be-
tween these parties. This verdict was
brought in Thursday after the jury
had been out for nearly four hours and
had once reported a disagreement.
Besides the three cows which the
jury found were given to Mrs. Red
mond by her father and could be held
as her lawful property, two other cows
and a bay mare were c rned in the
case. Mrs. Redmond claimed all these
as her personal property when her hus-
band went into bankruptcy. However,
before the jury took the case, Judge
Frank L. Fish, presiding, ruled that
Mrs. Redmond could hold no title to
two of the cows and the horse, and the
jury followed the instructions of the
Judge in their verdict regarding these
animals.
Mrs. Redmond claimed that she OBJ
tanned the two cows, her title to which
the court would not allow, through an
exchange with her husband, she giving
him in return for them a bull and an
other cow which had been given her by
her father. The court ruled that, since
.here was nothing to show a change of
possession in these cows, she could not
lawfully hold them. but they must re-
main as a part of the property of her
husband. The same ruling applied to
the horse, which, it was claimed, was
received by Mrs. Redmond as a gift
from MIR. Redmond's sister, to whom
Mr.. Redmond had formerly sold the
horse. Since the case was brought,
about six years ago, the horse has died
of old age.
This case has taken up about a day
and a half in county court and went to
the jury about 5 o'clock Thursday aft
ernoon. Martin s. Villas and Charles +.
Black appeared for Mr.. Reeves, while
Fred Il, Thomas of Montpelier was at
torney for Mrs. Redmond. The wit
nesses in the case yesterday were Mr..
and Mrs. Redmond, Nicholas Smith
