A mutual pledge not to go to war
over dispute in the Pacific without a
..cooling off period" of discussion is
the basis of the new four-power treaty
proposed as a substitute for the Angle
Japanese alliance.
The Japanese diplomatic council for
mal1y approved the proposed four-pow-
er treaty for settlement of Pacific diff
ferences at a meeting at the official
residence of the Japanese premier in
Toxic, a dispatch from a Honolulu
Japanese newspaper says.
The American fishing boat Mabel OF
Los Angeles was seized recently about
five miles off the Mexican coast by
vessel of the Mexican patrol and an
other of American registry, but manned
by Mexican soldiers, the state depart
ment has been advised by American
Consul Burdette at Ensenada, Mexico.
Aroused by indications of curtail-
ment of activities in Japan's naval
shipbuilding industry, should a naval
armament limitation agreement be
reached at the Washington conference.
$4,000 workers in Japanese shipyards,
according to advices received from
Toxic, have begun an agitation to OBJ
tain employment in other national in
dustries.
Early consideration by the house of
the Dyer anti-lynching bill was urged
at hearing before the house rules
committee recently by, it's author, Rep
resentative Dyer, Republican, Mis-
souri,, and several other members of
the house judiciary committee which
favorably reported the measure.
Diplomatic relations with the Bal
tic provinces will be opened in the
near future, according to those who
have recently discussed the question
with President Harding.

THIS YEARS. COTTON CROP IS
$4,000 BALES, SAYS GOVERN
MENT's FINAL REPORT.
100000 OVER LAST FORECAST
"Persistent Widespread Propaganda
is Blamed For Low Estimates
Early in the Season.

Washington.-Lack of travel funds
prevented personal checking of acre

growers reports of acreage reduc'
tions which were biased by prOpa
ganda and generally believed" the
crop reporting board of the depart
ment of agriculture declared in a
statement in announcing the final fore
cast for this years cotton crop Of
8,34O, 900 bales, an increase of 100000
bales over the last forecast.
Favorable weather conditions since
the last condition report on September
Is permitted maturing of late cotton,
the board said, while reduction of fer
tilizer reported earlier in the season
was Offset by residue remaining in
the ground from last year. Boil wee
vii and other insect damage, the state
ment said, was not as great as ex-
pected the hot dry weather of the
early fall fastened the maturity of
the crop and prevented much of the
damage which otherwise would have
resulted
This is still the, smallest crop
grown in the United States since
1885, the statement asserted.

States is estimated to be 1863 pounds,

BattIe-Battered Monster.

The curators of the Launceston
and Tasmanian museums have pre-
sented the Royal Society of Tasmania a
preliminary account of a nearly com
plete skeleton Of a gigantic extinct
monster, recently discovered in the
DleistOcene beds of Tasmania. The.
animal was as large as the largest
existing rhinOceros. The newly dis
':overy shows clearly that it was a
:hinOceros-like animal, with a skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence of the gigantic battles In
which this animal engaged is to be
found in the complete smashing and
partial mending of the collar-bone,
and in the crushing and subsequent
repair Of the bones Of the nose and
n1Out.

Making what was considered a di-

ton. Sen1Osuke Yokata, president OF
the legis alive bureau of the Japanese
cabinet, in an address here, declared
the true and impartial spirit of dis

each country.

emily at their most favorable stage

Of Great Britain, Japan and France

The principal interest Of the mem-
bers was in publicity for Vermont and
lis hotels. James r. Taylor, Mr.. Der
rah and others emphasized the fact
that Vermont is not advertised in New
York and other centers which supply
the tourist business. A canvass Of
tourist agencies in New York City
showed that but one agency had any
information about this state. II was
suggested that Vermont hotels, and
perhaps Vermont industries, should
have personal representative in New
York City with an established Office for
that purpose. II was stated that
single resort hotels in other states had
found il profitable TO maintain a per-
sonal representative In New York City
and that the combined hotels Of Yer
mont should certainly afford to main
tain such service for mutual advan-
tage
A committee was appointed TO get
up plan for publicity and for fnane-
ing the same.
II was pretty well agreed that the
principal needs Of Vermont hotels are
smooth, dustless roads and publicity.
As Mr.. Taylor well said, we have
enough scenery so that tourist may
zig rag across Vermont, starting in
at the southeast corner in May and
ending up in the northwest corner Of
the state in October, and feast on
scenery all the time

VERMONT HOTEL MEN MEET

The meeting Of the Hotel Associa-
ton Of Vermont at Lake Bomoseen on
September 9th with nearly 100 mem
bers present, was a success so far az
enthusiasm could make il so.
The program, so far as il pertained
TO good roads, consisted principally Of
discussion as to what has been done
and is now being one by the Highway
Department. The State Highway
Commissioner, Thurman w. Dix, gave
figures as TO comparative costs Of con-
struction and upkeep Of the various
types Of road.
II appears from the figures given
that the first cost Of gravel roads is
from 5000 70 5000 per mile and Of
cement roads from s25. 900 70 10000
(This cost does not include grading in
either easel. The cost Of maintaining
gravel roads is 800 per mile per year
and Of cement roads $40 per year. In
with cement roads there is
a cost Of maintaining gravel shoulders
which may amount 70 5000 per year.
In the cost Of maintaining gravel roads
no dust preventive Is figured
A remedy is being sought FOR the
@Vash board" road ard dust and one Il
led 20 conclude that the cost Of main
taiHing a smooth. dustless gravel road
viii be considerably in excess Of 800
per mile.

out that the present law divides the
and state highway money
Is such q way that there are 4ss dif-
ferent road Jobs going or in Vermont
