dutch legal arguments against extra
lltlon. The Communication, II was
said cannot really be classed as a re-
ply, for It Is a distinct reapplicatlon
of the Allied demand for surrender OF
the former emperor OF Germany.
The note, IL was said, contains addl-
tiOnal Information and arguments why
extraditl0n is desirable and even i'm
peritlve.
The second section, it was intimated,
offers the alternative that should HOl-
land refuse to submit to the demand for
extraditiOn the Allies must make it
clear they cannot consent 10 the former
Kalser's remaining in Europe and that
Holland must remove him to some place
where IL will be impossible for him TO
return to Germany.
Members Of the British cabinet and
the French government consider restor-
alton OF the monarchy In Germany as
not at all impossible, II the former
Kaiser had the backbone TO carry out
such a plan.
Allied leaders. II was said, consider
as particularly significant the German
attempt to evade delivery OF war Grim
inals, whose surrender is demanded by
the Allies.
There are no threats or an economic
blockade against Holland in the note,
it was said, but the communication
does convey the unalterable determina-
lion Of the Allies 10 carry out the
peace treaty to the letter.
Commenting on the Allied demand to
Germany that she surrendeY SIS war
criminals, officials said IL was ths unani-
nous viewpoint OF Allied leaders that
force should be used II necessary 10
force German compliance.
This was considered necessary for
two reasons:
4. The demand offers a real test for
G,rmany's intentions toward observance
OF the Versailts treaty. The Allies con-
slider IL a precedent which will. de-
termine future German attitude toward
terms OF the pact.
2. Surrender Of the war guilty Is
necessary for the unfolding Of future
international law in war. Therefore
the Alli-s have agreed that action must
be swift, drastic and uncOmprOmising.

REIGN OF BARLEYCORN

came effective in New York, or at
1905 o'clock to be exact, Brooklyn
cafe owner was arrested by an Inter-
nal revenue inspector for selling
glass of brandy. A bartender in the
same establishment was arrested also.
This news travelled as fast in under
ground ways as paralie fire famed
by cyclone and in short time the
merry-making over the demise. of
John Barleycorn came TO more or
less abrupt end The presence of 100
revenue inspectors in the White Light
district and the knowledge that the
city's $4,000 policemen were watching
for violations of the law caused the
cafe keepers to close their doors
somewhat suddenly The final closing
of the rum era did not come up to
predictions here. To all appearances
the city had accepted the end of the
reign of King Alcohol in a philoso-
phic manner and had gone to bed
without shedding tear. Some
churches had watch night services
and the final hour of Demon Rum
ended in prayers of thanksgiving.

department and did not arrive at any
decided plan of action until ten
months after he arrived in London
ut was 10 months before we really

The Admiral's testimony was in the
form of letter to Secretary Daniels
entitled "Some Naval lessons Of the
Great War;" which Mr.. Daniels re-
.ceived several days ago.
The letter alleged that the navy
department demanded that it be per-
mitted to pass fully on all plans even
those regarding action against the
enemy.

PLAN BETTER
RECREATION FOR
WORKING GIRLS
$500 Needed for Mainte.
nance of Girls Com
munity Club

For some time the need has been
apparent of more wholesome recrca-
tion and a saner social life for the
business and working girls Of ST.
Johnsbury, Of whom there is fast
increasing number. Supervised re-
creation was one of the greatest fac
tors in maintaining the morale of
the army and it is just as important
in the life Of the business girls. A
project has now been undertaken to
form a Girls Community Club with a
trained leader who shall mike the
use Il social center
for girls, place where they may al
ways be sure Of welcome and a
wholesome good time without re-
gard to creed or social position.
At a meeting Dec 81 at the Club
I House the plan was outlined by Miss
Gary, Field Secretary of Y. W C. A.
for Vermont and the matter was
fully discussed. 1t was felt that re-
ligion and educational needs were
provided by other agencies and that
the object Of this new undertaking
should be to provide better social
life for the girls of this community,
arrange supervised dances and plenty
of outdoor recreation. A committee
was appointed to see wrat could be
done to finance the plan and raise the
erquired budget Of $500. It was de-
| cided to ask the support of the Wom-
ems organizations and the employers
, Of large. numbcss of girls, their CON
tribution to be supplemented BY small
annual fees from the girls themselves
and by sustaining members. Letters
are now being sent to all the various
organizations Of women in town and
already they are responding gener-
ously. The following have already
pledged their support:
Searchlight club, So. church $4,000
Miss Round Table, n. church $4,000
Rector's Aid Episcopal $500
| Suffrage Club $500
College Club $25.00
Woman's Relief Corps $500
Outlook Club 1000
| w. c.. T. u. $500
An opportunity will soon be given
| to individuals to become sustaining
members as several have indicated a
desire to have personal share in
the work. A check for $4,000 has al
ready been received from lady liv-
ing in Philadelphia, formerly resi-
dent of St. Johnsbury. She writes,
"Fifty dollars year is small contri-
button toward better conditions for
for your business girls. 1t is a great
and good undertaking that you have
begun and l shall follow it eal'gerly."
The committee feel very hopeful
that the required sum will be raised
and that in the early spring we may
be able to form a large community
Girls Club which will prove to be
our important factor in the lives of
the girls and of the community at
large.
Anyone who wishes further infor-
nation in regard to the plan may
f., confer with Mrs. II. w. Blodgett
chairman of the committee.
