BRITISH PEOPLE
MUCH SURPRISED
Over Statement That Their Govern

London. Feb. THE announcement
by Austen Chamberlain. the chancellor
of the exchequer, in his recent Birming
ham speech that Great Britain had pro-
posed to the United States the remis-
sion Of the allied debt came with as
much surprise TO the British public as
to the Americans and created a SEN
sation While various economists in
private life had been advocating such
a cancellation it was not known that
the government waN formally consider

had made overtures in that connection
TO the United States
Thus far the press has not ventured
much comment on the subject, but
considerable space is being devoted TO

And Are Inclined to Accept
Challenge By Gov.
.Hartness
ABOUT TH.,oINTMENT
OE$ lGHWAY MAN
By sS ling the Office Elec-
- : Rather Than Ap-
pointive By Governor

When the Vermont legislators re-
turned to Montpelier to-day from their
weekend recess, one of the chief topics
for discussion among them was the an
nouncement last Thursday by Governor
Hartness that State Highway Commits
sioner Stoddard Bates is not "co-or-
dinator" and that, therefore, the COVER
nor would not re-appoint him to the po-
siton, while admitting that he knew
much about road building. In fact, the
discussion had approached the point
where the legislature seemed disposed
to take some drastic action in relation
to the highways Of the state.
One of the proposals that seemed to
meet with considerable favor among
those who oppose Governor Hartness in
his stand regarding Bates and the high
way question is the introduction of a
bill to make elective all the Offices
which are now appointiye by the gov
ernor This measure would not affect
the appointments already made by the
governor but would, perhaps, apply to
the four appointive jobs not yet filled,
that number including the office of
state highway commissioner Another
proposal, which would be more direct
slap against Governor Hartness, would
be to have the state highway commits
sioner elected by the legislature. II is
likely that one or both of these bills
will be introduced tomorrow.
In its present state of mind, the SEN
ate undoubtedly would not confirm any
highway commissioner excepting Bates,
while the elements in the House which
heretofore may have been somewhat
antagonistic to Bates have been united
in his support through the statement
by Governor Hartness.
That was apparent when the House
members took their seats this after
noon, the matter having been thorough
ly discussed by them prior to that time
The Senate will not meet until this
evening
The immediate programs before Ell
ther branch of the legislature did not
promise anything very important, as
the calendars were light. There were
II bills before the House for third
reading this afternoon and seven new
bills ready for presentation. One of the
new measures was to have commits
sion to prepare history of Vermont's
part in the World war, another to pro-
tect ferns and other plants. third
providing that traps for noxious ami
mails must be visited every As hours
he same as for fur bearing animals. n
fourth to increase the salary of the
tate purchasing agent from $500 to
50 800
The bill to provide fev the prepsra
ion of a history Of Vermont in the
World war, as introduced by Mr.. Wish
ri of Barr, provides the commits
ion instead of the secretary of civil
ind military affairs The secretary Is
included but there are four Others. two

CONSIDERS A. Z. r.
FULLY INDICTED
So General Pershing Declines to Ap-
pear Before War Investigating
Committee of Congress.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 7.-Critics of
the American sXpeditionary force have
been completely answered in each in
stance by compiler witnesses and il
seem, unnecessary further to consume
the time" of the war investigating
committees. General Pershing wrote to
Representative Flood Democrat, Vir-
ginia, to-day, declining an Invitation
to appear.
While ready TO respond to a commit
tee summons, the general said he could
see no reason why should appear
to this time to answer allegations that
have already been refuted."
Representative Floods suggestion
that General Pershing appear followed
the testimony of Charles G. Dawes, for
merly General Pershing's supply chief,
last week, also at Mr.. Floods request
to answer criticisms of the American
force affairs by previous
witnesses. General Pershing's letter to
Mr. Flood follows:
Referring to our conversation on
Saturday last regarding my appearing
before the subcommittee of which you
are a member, | do not believe that it
would serve useful purposes. Having
to some extent the proceed
ings of this committee am of the
opinion that the charges and allega-
tions so far as they relate to the affairs
Of the American expeditionary forces
have been completely answered in each
instance by the testimony of witnesses
with an intimate knowledge Of the
facts
Moreover the achievements of the
American expenditionary force speak
Tor themselves The record of our ar
mics overseas is so well known through
,ut the country that it would seem
further to consume the
ime of the committee.
'0f course. am entirely willing to
appear if so desired. but 7 can see no
-eason why ! should appear at this
ime TO answer allegations that have
Ilready been refuted
