 So many requests had been made for both these operas, which are usu- ally given on one bill, that Mr. Bran don took the matter up direct with Fortune Gallo. impresario of the san Carlo company in New York Not only will it give variety to the bill' Mr. Brandon argued, but since the San Carlo company can appear here only one day and there is no telling when we will get it back again, give us all you can. And, besides if we get the double bill. we will hear
 twice as many stars"
 Mr Gallo consented to tho change, but since AIme. Bettina Freeman is to sing in "Cavalleria" she cannot sing Aida" in the evening. Mir. Brandon was anxious to have Consuelo Esco-
 bar, the famous coloratura soprano, sing in Phoenix. Her most famous role is Gnda in "Rigoletto" and, im- bued with the proper Christmas spirit. MT. Gallo agreed to give Phoenix Miss Escobar in "Rigoletto" too.

A determined effort is being made
through the agency Of the posts Of the
Legion throughout Vermont to see that
every ex-service man or woman still IN

that no sufferer is neglected on Dee. %.
Wherever possible it is the desire OF
the state department that sick ones be

the spirit of fraternity which existed
in the war be taken to the person Wis
tied to cheer them up. II small gifts
may o be taken m person they ear
be mailed. II gifts may not be sent il
is urged that cards and Christmas
greetings be mailed IN order that every
case within the limits of the state
will be made To feel that the Legion
has not forgotten the sacrifices made.
Every case of a maj or woman suff
fering from injuries or sickness re-
cciyed during the war should be made
the particular care of every ex-serviee
person in the community. To make this
possible the state department urges
that each individual inquire in his
neighborhood for those needing cheer
or help, and give both in the spirit Of
comradeship which binds all ex.serv-
ice men or women together.

RATES
IRE DISCRIMINATING
Those for Passenger and Excess Bag
gage Must Be Raised, Declares
Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Washington, d. c., Dec. % Holding
passenger and excess baggage charges
on state traffic in Arkansas to be dis
criminatory in relation to interstate
rates, the interstate commerce commits
sion yesterday ordered the Arkansas
state commission to increase those
charges to a level with those in inter
state traffic on or before Feb. Is.
When the interstate commerce com
mission raised freight, passenger and
other rates last August, the Arkansas
commission granted the carriers in
that state increased freight and Pull
man charges, but because of an exist
ing state law it was said it was un-
able TO advance passenger and excess
baggage charges.
Noting this situation in its decision

authority over interstate rates ire

FoREBoDING AMONG BRITISH.
Conditions of Unemployment Ar
More Serious Than Ever.

London, Dec. 23.-Anxiety is felt by
the British people over conditions OF
unemployment and in some quarters
the opinion is held that the crisis is
more serious than any of its pre-
! decessors.
This pessimism is reflected in edito-
! rial comment relative to government
| proposals to relieve distress and there
is a fretful toni in some comment
which further emphasizes ~forebodings
| over the prospects of the winter. 1t is
felt that, in spite of all aids that may
be given, the next few months may
bring privations to many thousands.
Premier Lloyd George outlined his
plan for relieving the unemployed in
the House of Commons yesterday and
newspapers give him credit for doing
whatever is possible but resorting to
makeshifts which are admittedly pal
liatives. Some newspapers apologize
for the governments plan, contending
that it is better than the efforts OF all
previous governments to meet critical
conditions in the labor world. On the
other hand, however, many newspapers
attack the cabinet for doing too little,
too much, or the wrong thing.
: The labor press declares that while
the government offer is merely "a drop
in the ocean" and almost farsical. Some
critics maintain the governments WI
extrayagances are responsible for the
present situation.
In the midst of all this landslide Of
criticisms there appears to be no out
standing concrete suggestion as TO best
meeting the dilemma before the coun-
try.

AMERICAN FLEET
WILL BE SANTA
For More Than 10000 People Among
Refugees on Dalmatian
Coast.

Venice, Dec. % (By the Associated
Press).-Thc American fleet in the
Adriatic will act as Santa Claus for
more than 10000 persons, including
Italian and Russian children, the lat
ter being among the refugees recently
disembarked along the Dalnatian
coast. The 5encficiaries Of the fleets

dy, fruit, clothing and shoes, done up
in small packages.
The Russian children Just landed in
Dalmatia with their fathers and moth
ers, who escaped the bolshevik sweep
in South Russia, suffered intolerable
hardsiiips on the merchant ships which
brought them, They were packed in
the ships so tightly as to be unable
to move, with hundreds in the holds
among coal and other supplies, stand
ing or sitting in every position for two
days. As no provision had been made
for their arrival in Dalmatia the Amer
lean fleet undertook the work of car
ing for them. Rear Admiral Philip
Andrews, commander OF the American
warships in the Adriatic, whose head
quarters is here, received news Of the
plight of the refugees from the Olym-
pia, his flagship, and immediately he
gan the work of relief. He authorized
the fleet to do what it could, mean
while tclegraphing to American Red
Gross headquarters in Paris for help,
in response to which appeal he received
a Geographic allotment of 100000
francs.
The Olympia was then stationed ut
Ragusa, on the Adriatic, 80 miles north
of Cattaro, into which place thousands
of refugees were pouring. The Ameri-
cans began the work of organization
in order to care for the refugees. Kitcsi-
ems were set up and baths and houses
were fuYished.
Requests were sent to Admiral An
drews for medicine and he sent men to
Milan to buy them. The supplies
reached destinations along the Dalma-
tian' coast in SO hours, United States
destroyers taking them aboard at Ven
ice.
Meanwhile at Cattaro, the United
States destroyer Chandler was hand
ling thousands of other refugees in
the same efficient manner as character
lied the work of the Olympia under
the direction of Captain III. G. Wyman,
her commander, At Ragusa the en-
tire work of relief was carried out by
the officers and men of the American

Appropriation for Five
Years May BE Asked of
State Legislature
IF CONGRESS PUTS
THROUGH A BILL
Requiring State Action to
Match Federal Appro-
priation

The Vermont legislature may be
called upon to appropriate for a period
of five years the sum of 100000 each
year to match an equal amount from
the federal government in federal road
projects, for it is likely that a bill
along that line will be presented to
Congress as a result Of the state high
way commissioners meeting in Wash
ington, d. c., last week, according to a
statement made by S. j. Bates, state
highway commissioner, Wednesday
afternoon.
The big thing of the national annual
meeting was federal road projects. Two
propositions were presented, II the
1'ownshend bill which provided for the
federal government taking over certain
state roads. The commissioners op-
posed this plan. Then a resolution was
adopted, endorsing the passage of a
bill for the expenditure in each state,
the state to appropriate a like sum
each year for five years, the entire APP
preparation for the country being $780,
600, 000.
Vermont i've years ago voted to go
half way on federal road projects, the
sum increasing each year until the to-
tai sum expended by the state would
be 81, Pa, 000, of which some over 800.
900 has been contracted while the last
contracting will take place next year
and will complete the S~l,242,000. This
contract must be closed before June
30, 1922. Prompt action on the part of
Congress was asked in the resolution
because some 80 legislatures meet in
January and it is desirable to have
them consider the matter.

AMONG
CASSED MEN GROWS
Emergency Measures are Needed for
the Relief of 500 World War
Veterans at Tucson,

of 500 disabled World war veterans

err hospital facilities, it is announced
here by national officers Of the Amer
lean Legion. The men are suffering
from tuberculosis, which is developing

bureau and the United States public
health service in meeting the situation.
An amusement park at Tucson will be
taken over and converted into a tenn
porary hospital. Many Of the afflicted
veterans failing to find shelter else
where, are now sleeping in the park,
according to reports to Legion officers.
National Adjutant Lemuel Bodies
has asked Bret C. Clingan, commander
of the Arizona department of the Lee
gion, to organize volunteer crews Of
carpenters from the Legion member
ship in that state TO assist in construe-
ton work.
A corps of public health nurses and
physicians and two construction engi-
neers have been promised by the fed
erai government. Governor Campbell
of Arizona has also pledged the use of
state employees for construction work.
Mr.. Bolles advises afflicted veterans
against going to Tucson as arrange
ments can be made for only those who
are already there. The veterans there
now are from all parts of the 1coun-
try and went to Tucson on their own
initiative.
The Legion is continuing its cam
paign for hospital facilities for all dis
abled veterans, Mr.. Bolles says.
