VERMONT OPERATING ALONE.
In Raising Money for Near East Re
lief, Says M. S. Stone.

The Near East relief agency for So
licitation in Vermont has been reor-
ganized by counties and towns for
more effective work, this action having
been taken at a meeting Of the state
committee in charge Of the work at
Burlington last Saturday.
Mason S. Stone outlined the new
plan and the reasons for it as follows.
yesterday: Vermont has been yoked
with New Hampshire in the soliciting
of funds for the Near East relief The
headquarters has been in Manchester,
N. H., and by that Office whatever or
ganization has existed was created
except in the case of the state com
mittee, which was appointed from
New York City. As a result of the
long arm method of soliciting funds,
Vermont did not come up to its quota
either in 1920 or 1921 In order that
Vermont may not fail to do its part
and sustain its reputation, the mac
agement of the campaign in Vermont
has been turned over entirely to the
state committee, and the State Is prac-
fically divorced from New Hampshire.
"For the purpose Of creating an eff
fective system, the state committee
contemplates appointing chairman in
each county, each OF whom, in turn,
is to appoint a deputy chairman for
each town in the county. The town
chairman is charged with raising the
quota for his town. BY the new or
ganization, monthly meetings Of the
executive committee, which consists of
the state chairman, President Guy w.
Bailey OF the University of Vermont,
and the state Near East relief treas
urer, win be held to supervise and
control the program Of solicitation.
'.The salvaging of the Armenian
race comes as a responsibility to the
United States, as no other nation or
country is at present in a condition to
assume the burden. About 100000
children are within the operations Of
the Near East relief. The sum of $50
feeds a child for a year. and 500 feeds
and educates him for the same length
OF time. Up to the present time, the
United States has been practically
able TO care not only for the Arme-
MAN children, but for thousands in
Cilicia and refugees in Constantine
ple.n

AMERICA IS
SEEKING LINE
TO GERMANY
Italy Is Said to Be DESTROYS
of the Use of One of the
Cables - Great Britain
and France Have Been
Operating the Lines
Since the War

Washington, d. c.. Feb. l7.-An in.
ternational conference to consider the
ALLEGATION Of former German cables IN
tht Atlantic win be called in Wash
ington next week, Acting Secretary
Fletcher announced to-day.
Representatives of France, England,
Italy, Japan and the United States
will be asked to meet and determine
the disposition of the three cable lines
taken over under the provisions Of the
treaty of Versailles.
The cables are now being operated
by England and France, under an
agreement with the other interested
powers which provides the revenues
shall be impounded and later divided
among the powers in an accordance
with decisions reached by a confer
ence on the subject.
Under the present arrangement,
Great Britain is operating the former
German cable from Halifax to PEN
zance. while France is in control OF
two running from Brest to New York
and from Brcst to Pernambuco, Bra
iii.
Italy has been seeking use OF one OF
these cables and had suggested that
revenues from their operation be ap-
plied TO the construction of new line
from the Azores to point ip Italy,
thus giving the Rome government d.
rect cable communication with the
Americas.
The chief interest of the United
States. it was said at the state de
partment, has been to obtain direct
cable communication with Germany
over the line from New York to Brest,
connecting there with a line terminal
ing in German territory.
The interests of Japan in the for
mer German cables are understood to
have been largely satisfied by the
award TO her of one of the lines radi-
ating from the island of Guam in the
Pacific, it was said but Ambassador
Shidehara will be invited to the forth
coming conference because of London's
interest in the Atlantic cables under
the Versailles treaty.
Although the Dutch government has
not assented formally to the division
of German cables in the Pacific, where
by a line running from Guam to its
i..:.. =, .1,a nr;ort xrac rivan m
The Hague government, it was said to-
day that the settlemtnt effective un-
der the Guam agreement would be in
every way acceptable to the Neither
land.
