TWO WEST RIVER BREAKS.
Eownshend and Williamsville Stations
Entered and Small Amount of Money
Taken.

Two breaks in railroad stations on
the West River branch of the Central
Vermont railroad were discovered FRI
day morning when the station agents ar
rived at the stations to open them for
the day business. They were ut
Townshend and Willamsville, and it
is presumed that the first break was
made at Townshend by persons who
were walking towards Brattleboro,
Between 50 and $40 in rolls of pen
MES is missing from the Townshend
station, and al Williamsville some tick
cts were stolen and an express ship
ment was opened and the contents
strewn about.
Two employees of the Champlain
Realty Co. at Jamaica asked Station
Agent f. $. Wheeler Thursday for per
mission to sleep at the station over
night. Permission was denied and the
men went out quietly with no apparent
i'll feeling towards anybody.
1t was reported also to State s
Attorney +. W. Gibson that two sail
ors who had been staying in Town
shcnd ON 20.days furlough were
missing and that they locked the door
of their room and jumped out the win
dow.
No definite information as to who
broke into the stations has been re
ceived by the officers hut it is general
ly believed that the burglars were not
the two sailors who disappeared from
Townshend that night. The sailors
| were seen in Grafton and SaXtons
River, and later they returned to Town
shend and were interviewed by Deputy
Sheriff w. NJ. Sparks. They We're
brought here and questioned by Off
GERS, and to all the officers they said
they disappeared because they did not
want to return TO the CharleStown
navy yard. They have returned
however.
Station Agent +. r. Willard at Will
Evansville says tracks in the snow the
morning after the break indicated that
the burglars went south along the rail
road track toward Brattleboro.

The sight OF so many handsome

to inquiry among merchants.
The furS that working girls buy on

cheaper grades, averaging in price
around several hundred dollars.

this Is quite different from the de-
ferred payment system usually asso-
ciated with real estate.
These deferred payments arc "bc-
fore" rather than after" getting the
goods. The working girl who signs
for n handsome fur can go TO Il
number OF the big mercantile houses
and select the coat she likes. make
an initial payment and have II laid
away while she is completing a series
of regular installmentS. When she
has made tho last she gets the coat.
Many OF the expensive fur coats
worn by working girls are bought by
girls who live ut homo with their
parents. il Is reported by furriers,
and they add that frequently assist
aance is given from fathers pocket

While, "now or never" may be tho
reason that leads many young wom-

merchants say that the high prices of
other kinds OF coats is il very i'm
portant factor lin these purchases.

Eyentful Week Has
Worked on Nerves
OF the Kaiser

Meronsen, March 20.-The week of
strain following the events in Ger
many ha; apparently made a great
impression upon the mental and ply
sical condition of the former German
emperor. His nervousness and Sleep
lea.lcos are increasing and in trying
to conceal his emotions the eX-kaiser
behaves in a manner which seems ut
terly strange to the servants who have
cared for his wants since he became
an exile here.
Where formerly he drank only light
wines at meal time. the former mon
arch now calls for wine during the in
tcrvals Of his wood saving. His ner-
yous habit Of straddling chairs has i'll
creased. The exile's anxiety is height
ened by the illness Of his wife. who
for long time has been sufferer
with mild attacks OF heart disease.
These attacks recUrred frequently this
week.

Let 1t Lie Here,
MIR. Tumulty Said

Washington, March 20.-After a
rroubled eight months sojourn in
the Senate, the treaty with Ger
many was back in the keeping Of
President Wilson tonight with note
aging that the ratification had been
refused.
What the Presidents next move
would be remained conjectural. The
White House officials declined TO COM
.nent.
The general feeling of officials
lscwhere about the capital. however,
vas that Mr.. Wilson would let the
treaty lie on his desk while the bit
ter controversy it has raised is
fought out in the political CAM
paign.
The treaty was taken back to the
White House early in the day by a
bevy of officials and messengers
from the Senate, in pursuance of an
order adopted last night after a
ourth vote on ratification failed to
muster the necessary two-thilds 1t
was delivered to Secretary Tumulty
who receipted for it in the name of
the President.

the capitol building, when some Of
the Senators who worked for the
ratification began a movement to &c
call it and try once more for a COM
promise. Mild reservation Republi-
cans and compromise Democrats dis
cussed the possibilities of such an
effort without decision, however. and
the prediction of leaders on b0tn
sides was that no propcs;l for an
other reconsideration ever would
take serious form.
Peace Plans Blown Up
The unsettled state Of Senate oDir-
ion nevertheless had the effect Of
blowing up the plans of the Repub-
lican lenders for passage of decl1ra-
tion CT peace. and it was decided
Hfter many conferences that the reso-
lution for that purpose probably
would Ent he urged before late next
week. Previously the purpose had
huen to bring it up Monday and
press it for early action.
In making this decision the ma
jority managers in the Senate are
understood to have been Influenced
in part by undetermined factors in
the House, which also would have to
act Oh a peace resolution and Who's"
leaders baked at similar proposal
last December. Most of the rank
ing members of the House foreign
affairs committee, in whose hands
the peace resolution would fall,
were out of town and had not i'll

Department holds that until such
ia status is obtained the present dip
lomatic and trade relations with
! Germany must be continued.
There is an American commission
er in Berlin representing the United
Safes unohiciaIly but he is not re-
garded as having diplomatic status.
. All negotiations of a diplomatic char
: aGlcr are conducted through the
! Spanish ambassador there. In the
! consular field too, the United States
still is represented in Germany by
Spanish agents.
The move Of some Senator's 10 re-
call the treaty and try again for a
ratification was in nebulOus stage
! tonight, and the general prediction
was that it would collapse before the
Senate meets Monday
! No Recall Action
! Leaders on both sides said they
saw no likelihood of any recall
"ction. Even if the treaty were
! brought back. they added chances
| Of the Knox resolution which re
mote.
Some of the mild reservation Re-
publicans are understood to have
withheld their decision regarding
! a peace declaration until there was
no possibility of reconsideration
of the ratification vote. There also
was some uncertainty among the
Republican irreconciliables, some Of
whom do not approve Of that section
! of the Knor resolution which re-
rftiirns previous declaration Of
CHngreHs in favor Of the principle
| OF an international court and dis
2lmamcnt. The present, these Sen
ators argue, is not the time for any
declaration of international policy.
The Republican leaders, however,
hope in the end to agree on some
form of peace which will command
solid Republican support.
