BRITON Defends
Use OF WAR GAS
New Arms Needed For Fu-
ture Conflicts, Gen.
Jackson Says

London, Jan. 16-There would be
no more reason to forbid the use o.
gas than to prohibit the employmer
of rifles in the next war, says Maj.
Gen. Sir Louis Jackson, of the Royal
Engineers, formerly in charge of Of
fensive gas production. There were,
he declared, gases which killed pain
lessly and it was easy to conceive
cases in which it would be more hui
name to use gas than explosive shells
1t might be possible to come to some
arrangement whereby no gas should
be used that caused unnecessary suf-
,fering. -..' go. r~'..-,--
" In a recent address before some of
the leading lights in the military
world, he stated that the world was
on the eve of the most extensive mod
ifications in the art of war known to
history, and the changes made in
the recent war were only the begin
ming. 1t was necessary to develop
new arms with the knowledge that
the nation which best did so would
have a great advantage in the next
war.
The tanks were not likely to be
used in future wars but they had
shown that mechanical transport was
not dependent on highways and that
therefore the whole transport of an
army could be carried by vehicles
with caterpillar wheels independently
of the roads.
Air fighting would be enormously
developed. The short rifle would be
replaced by a short carbine which
would be accurate up to a range of
500 yards.
Artillery would be much more mo-
bile and if they were to allow for an
advance of twelve miles a day the
guns must be capable of an effective
barrage up to $4,000 yards and a long
AZ gun with range of 10000 yards
might meet the requirements of the
future.
He said the future soldier must be
absolutely different from his prede-
cessor The days had gone by when
initiative was considered not only un-
necessary but dangerous. In addition
TO his rifle, the soldier should be able
TO handle a Lewis or machine gun
and to help the artillery. He should
know something of explosives, have a
knowledge of fuses, understand sig
mailing and be able to handle a ground
wireless set. He should receive in
tense training.

1.1s POUND BABY GETS
HEAVYWEIGHT HONORS

Oil City, Pa, Jan. 24.-One of the
biggest young men in medical records
arrived here recently. A fourth
child was born to Mr.. and Mrs. John
Thompson, of this cit
to be such prodigious chap that the
attending staff of physicians and
nurses could hardly wait to get him
on a pair of scales. They found he
weighed 171s pounds.
The other children are of normal
weight, but two of them, twins, to-
gether didn't compare with their
brother for bulk. Physicians say

A Radical view of Hoover.

There is one man, not an active can
didate, who, in comparison with all the
other candidates, qualities so readily
that his election would be a foregone
conclusion under reasonable conditions.
That man is Herbert Hoover. Test any
other candidate by the standard OF per.
sonal fitness, experience and training
for the issues that viii confront the
next president, and see if you can make
a. case for him as against MIR. Hoover.
Is MFR. Hoover less loyal to American
institutions than General Wood or Mr..
Palmer? There is nothing to debate.
For the rest, will any supporter of
Leonard Wood or Mitchell Palmer pre-
tend that either of their candidates
knows fragment of what Herbert
Hoover knows about the necessities OF
the modern world? Would either OF
them, or any of the others, risk COM
parison with Hoover, either on knowl.
edge of social conditions, knowledge OF
American industry, knowledge of world
trade, knowledge of European politics,
knowledge OF diplomacyg Is there one
of them who can show a record of the
organizer of the Belgian relief, food ad-
ministrator of the allies, and the direc-
tor general of European reliefl What
have any of them said, done, thought,
or proposed that fits in anything like
the same degree the immediate needs of
the country New Republic.

NEwsBoYs WON.
Defeated Presbyterian Boys Club at
Basketball, to 2.

The Newsboys' club and the Presby-
terrain Boys club basketball teams met
last Saturday evening at Goddard court
in l5-minute halves, the Newsboys COM
ing out victorious with a score of eight
points against two points for the Pres
byterian club. Though il was a severe
cold night between 20 and 100 young
sters turned out to watch the young
teams play the popular winter game.
Both sides took quite a few minutes in
practice and the boys who had come to
witness the game took hand in the
practicing so that they might keep
warm.
At s o'clock the whistle was blown
for the youngsters TO take their places
on the floor. The ball was tossed up
between Ratelle of the Newsbeys and
Crichton of the Presbyterians. The
Newsboys kept the ball at their end
for few minutes, and then Macrae Of
the Presbyterian players passed the
ball across the hall to his partner, Mer-
GER, who attempted basket, but was
intercepted by a "newsie." The Pres
byterian boys were handicapped by the
absence of one of their best men and
so were unable to cover the Newsboys,
who played around them with very
little trouble, though the Presbyterian
boys are worthy of mention and praise
for the clean game they played and
the many break ups which they per-
formed. Their passing showed lack of
teamwork and practice. 0'Herin was
not as sure of baskets as during prae-
tice. Lott of the Newsboys tried
several lone-hand games but was usual
" intercepted. Sanders and Spence
pfoyed speedy at guard Robertson
was sent in the last half in the place of
Spence. Milne of the Presbyterian club
was good at breaking up and passing.
Thompson made the only basket for
the same team. There were only two
fouls in the game that were made note
Of and those two against the Newsboys.
The lineup was as follows;

This is the description of the G. O. p
situation in Vermont as given at the
State House Saturday by Gov. Clement
Of Vermont.
Gov. Coolidge's action in refusing tc
allow the use of his hame in any con

by his friends was highly praised by
Gov. Clement.

won't governor is in a free and
enviable position before the country
No matter what happens he will come

Gov. Clement, when asked If any can
didate for the Republican presidential
nomination seemed to be in the lead in
Vermont, said:
Gen. Wood is very popular among
the Republicans. OF coursei I Gov. Cool,

FAVORS USE OF GAS
AS MUCH As RIFLES
Major General Sir Louis Jackson of the

It Easy to Conceive Cases
Where Gas Would Be
More Humane.

London, Feb. 2.-There would be no
more reason to forbid the Use OF gas
than TO prohibit the employment OF RI
fles in the next war, says Major Gen
eral Sir Louis Jackson of the Royal en-
gineers, formerly in charge of offensive
gas production. There were, he de-
clared, gases which killed painlessly
and it was easy to conceive cases in
which ii would be more humane TO use
gas than explosive shells. II might
be possible to come to some arrange
ment whereby no gas should be used
that caused unnecessary suffering.

placed by short carbine which would

must be capable of an effective barrage
up to. $4,000 yards He thought that a

ident, presided.
Gov. Coolidge gave an interesting
account OF his simple life az a boy on
the farm at Plymouth. He said his
father gave him farm when he was
still boy in the hope Of making a
farmer OF him. He recalled his expe'
riences at choppng wood and at max
ing maple sugar, which he said was
always used on the family table, white
sugar having been saved for any itin-
Grant preacher that happened around.
He said that while the Vermont
school teachers of his time could not
pass the examinations required OF
teachers in this state, at the time they
had merit that cannot be matched here
to-day.
He said that Vermont men OF that
period believed in their responsibility
to the Almighty and they saw in that
responsibility the foundation of liberty
GOV. Clement referred to the great
interest that Gov Coolidge's attitude
on the police strike had aroused
throughout the country and said many
people thought there would be com
promise whereby the men would return
To work. That would have been the
plan Of politician, but not Of Gov
Coolidge. he declared
He said nothing has ever happened IN
this country that will have such far
reaching effect on legislation and so
cial and commercial life as that atti'

SOMETHING MENACINC
COMING FROM RUSSIA
Declared Minister Churchill, British
Secretary of State for War,
Speaking Of Bolshevism.

Sunderland. Eng, Feb, 2.-Winston
Churchill. British secretary Of state for
war. declared in an address he delivered
here that while no one can tell what
will emerge from Russia lit will be
something very menacing to civilization
and especially dangerous to the British
empire"
'.Bolshevist fanatics are determined
to destroy civilization, democratic par
liaments, and the lberties OF free peo-
pies" declared the minister.
Europe and Asia are in a desperate
condition. The allies may abandon
Russia but Russia will not abandon
them. The ghost of the bear will cross
the SHOWS and menace them.
New forces are springing up in
Asia Minor, and If Russian bolsheyism
and Turkish Mahometanism should
ioin hands the situation for Great Brit
ain would be grave. Kolchak and Den
kline have protected British interests
in the past, but the armies OF kolchak
are almost gone, the armies OF DEM
kline are in jeopardy and il they were
to disappear serious danger would i'm
mediately arise.
1T is possible that there may be a
combination between kaiser militarism
and German bolshevism TO destroy the
German republic We must see that
that does not happen. We are continu.
ally being told that we should not
trade with Germany again, but how are
we to get our indemnities unless we
trade with her? France and America
are taking all steps to trade with Ger
many, and we should not be called on

Selling Vermont Farms.

A New York farm agency which IN
1919 sold 252 farms in the state Of Yer
mont. gives some highly interesting
figures relative 70 the transactions. II
declares that of the 252 farms sold by
the agency last year, PA are now &C.
cupied by men who brought their fam
lilies into the state from 25 common
wealths OF the union and from Canada
The remaining 3s were purchased by
men already resident in Vermont.
In connection with this statement
should be considered the assertion that
of the 3.4l6 farms sold in other states
by this agency, only 10 were sold 70
residents OF Vermont. People from far
away California and Florida purchased
Vermont farms. The largest contribu-
ton from any state was from Massa-
chusetts, 81 families coming from that
state into this. As one might expect
from witnessing farm sales in northern
Vermont. Canada was next, with 20
purchasers Of Vermont farms, while
New York Was third with %
Michigan and New Hampshire tied
at Is each; there were Is from New
Jersey. u each from Pennsylvania and
Connecticut, eight from Rhode Island,
and seven from Illinois. Other states
furnishing purchasers were: Virginia,
Arkansas. Colorado, Indiana, Maryland,
Minnesota. Montana, New Mexico, Cal
ifornia, Florida. North Carolina, North
and South Dakota. Wisconsin and Wy
ominQ
These figures are both interesting
and encouraging. There j. no reason
why people should not come into Yer
mont 20 farm, and there are many rea-
sons why they should. The yield per

that Vermont soil j. among the most
fertile in the country And We are
