The Bristol Herald recommends the
appointment of Major Robert W. Nc
Cuen of Vergennes to a federal position
in recognition of the services he has
rendered the Republican Party during
the past twenty years. The Register
heartily approves of this recommends
ton and strongly urges the Congress
sional Delegation at Washington to
endorse the appointment of Major
NcCuen to the position of Collector of
Revenue for the District of Vermont.
Major McCuen has always been one
of the staunch and ever loyal workers
for the Republican Party in this coun-
ty. and has never asked for or received
any position or emolument for his UNI
firing services.
He is especially well fitted by educa-
ton and training for an Office of this
character. His legal knowledge, his
newspaper experience in public af-
fairs. and his intensive training during
the two years of his service in the
Army during the World War have
especially fitted him for an executive
position. He has demonstrated his
ability to successfully manage and adj
minister affairs of large proportion i'll
the various offices ne has held, and
especially in the position Of Secretary
Of the Addison County Fair, to which
he was recently unanimously reelected.
The friends of Major McCuen in Add
son County are very enthusiastic in his
behalf and if it will be the policy of
the new administration to reward and
recognize service and fitness for Office
a federal appointment will come to
Addison County.

OPEN CAMPAIGN TO ESTABLISH
 NEW FRONTIER

London, March 4-Germans in Dam zig have begun a campaign in favor of a revision of the frontier of that city, which was constituted a free state under the Versailles treaty, so that they may be enabled to annex terri tory including the ports of Tezew, on the lower Vistula, and Hela, 19 miles northeast, says the London Times, quoting dispatches from Po- fish sources.
 It is declared the reason for this move is found in the fact that Polish leaders have proposed to construct at Tezew or at Hela, a port "of dimen- sions worthy of a Polish hinterland having 3O,O00,O00 inhabitants" The newspaper says the Danzig Journal declares Germans in that city learned of the Polish plan and are taking steps to nuIIify it. Should their manoeuver succeed, it is declared, the Poles would be prevented from gaining access to the sea, and their country would be at the mercy of the Germans
