Without letting even his most in
innate friends into the secret Dan
Cullion slipped out Of Bennington,
Thursday, and remained away all day

not reported at any of his fayorite
haunts. Ever since things became
slack at the Cooper Machine shop,
where Dan has been an expert ma
chin st almost since the days of Co
lumbus, Dan has been indulging in a
little vacation, keeping bankers
hours, It's true, but always showing
up at the regular places at least some
time during the day. He failed to
carry out that program Thursday
which explains why his friends
sought police aid to solve the mys
ter;.
At a hurried conference of Dams
friends about noon time Thursday il
was decided to place the mystery be
fore Bennmgton's foremost detective
Fat BraZel, who is also chief OF
police And the chief threw all his
energies into the case but with nc
sure result until Friday morning
when he reported the glad tidings
that the great mystery had been
solved. Said the chief:
Dan just went on fishing outing
I'm told that he iourneyed out Wood
ford way, but as to that I'm not YET
dead sure But this do know, wher
Dan was ready to come back to Ben
nington late Thursday night, he was
obliged to hire a conveyance to hau

III ffGED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE ATTITUDE OF I JAPAN IN THE DISARMAMENT CONGRESS

RHHE Japanese are not only 2
 wise but wary people. They
 have held off from acquiescing in the proposed disarmament Con gress in Washington until they shoul l know its full purpose. They are wary of what might be done If all the Pacific problems were to be ap for discussion and action. They fear the effect of any binding action on the part of Congress if they should have only one vote of the four.
 With Australia and New Zealand represented as part of the deiega- ton of Great Britain. the Japanese might be euchered out of a large part of their power and control over Pa cific territory.
 With the Japanese it is vital problem. In both the Versailles peace treaty and the League of Ma tions agreement Japan was accorded all sorts of good things Shantung and Tap and former German posses sions in the far east were ceded to her after the Japanese navy took them. Indeed Japan acquired much as a result of the World war, and naturally she hesitates before enter ing a congress to discuss disarma- ment. which might resolve itself into a binding congress upon all Pacific problems.
