Will Not Tolerate Massacre of Chris
tians by Turks Will Not Lay Down
Before Attackers No Effort to Rush
Great Britain Into War.
MANCHESTER, Eng. Oct. 14. (As
sociated Press.) Prime Minister Lloyd
George received an enthusiastic welcome
when he reached the Reform club here
today for luncheon before delivering his
eagerly-awaited political speech. The
huge crowd putside the building extended
practically the whole length of the street
and the premier's appearance was the
signal for a great burst of cheering.
At one point in his speech Lloyd
George declared. "There has been speech
after speech of intolerable abuse and I
am told to bear it lijke a Christian, but
there are too many people about the
world who think it is the business of
Christians to be massacred by Turks or
pro-Turks. I am ifot one of that sort of
Christians."
A little further on the prime minister
said. "If there is to be a change there
is no irian who would welcome it more
than I. I have had a long spell and a
very hard one.''
"I have many friends among the Con
servatives and Liberals and I cast my
self on the people whose cause I have
never betrayed during 32 years of public
life."
He referred to the Near Eastern crisis,
declaring the people of this country must
not believe that their government had en
deavored to rush Great Britain into war.
"We have not been warmongers, but
peacemakers, ' he said.

where they are now located awaiting
further developments.

In Maine the crop is about half of that
of last year. It is slightly larger than
last year in New Hampshire, Vermont
and Rhode Island and considerably larger
in Connecticut, while in Massachusetts
it is nearly three times as large. The
statisticians note that the demand for
cider apples has not been active this fall.
The prospect for potatoes in New
England declined from a forecast of 34.-

Ford Crosses First Mark on 40-Mile
Course Less Than Minute Ahead of
Three' Rivals Greatest Dash of Se
ries at Today's Start Off.
GLOUCESTER, Mass., Oct. 14 (As
sociated Press). The start of the sec
ond fishermen's race today was thrilling,
measuring up th yachting standards. The
Yankee was first to cross the line with
t TT , , ,
th Henry Ford under her lee and Lhza-
beth Howard to weather and the L. A.
Dunton not far astern. The boats were
timed across the line as follows : Yan
kee, 10.23; Ford, 10.40; Howard, 10.30;
Dunton, 10.1.23.
The Howard came for the line a trifle
ahead of time and had to pass back The
Yankee came for the line with every thing
drawing. The Ford was also beating
along lively and at the start both seemed
to be dropping the Howard. Five minutes
later the Howard had passed the Ford
to weather and was overhauling the Yan
kee. The race committee chose the number
two course, with a run of five, miles to
Thatcher's island, a beat of 10 miles up
the bay, a reach of 10 miles off shore,
another 10-mile reach back to the is-
land, and a beat of five miles back to the
finish. The sky was clear and the wind
had increased, to 12 knots.
As the American fishermen passed
her on the way to the start the Cana-
tnan ueienuer xsiuenose ran up a Brit
ish ensign at her main and the stars and
stripes at her fore and all hands lined
at the rail. The Bluenose arrived off the
harbor early today.
It was the greatest dash for first
place seen in the series. At one time the
Howard. Yankee and Ford were tearing
along side by side with only 30 yards
between them. The Ford went through
the lee of the others and the Howard
pushed by the Yankee, but could not
catch the Ford. The time at the firsft
mark: Ford, 3.25.40; Howard. 10.2U.3;
ankee, 3O.20.23; Dunton, 30.20.30.
At 10.43 the Ford drew away from
the Howard. At 10.3S the Ford hauled
down her fisherman's stay sail and five
minutes later tacked to port, passing
both the Howard and Yankee, with the
Dunton following astern. At 30.47 the
Howard tacked to jort. She could not
pass, the Yankee and was obliged to ease
off and take third place. At 11 o'clock the
Ford was leading the Howard and Yan
kee by nearly a mile and the Dunton by
a mile and a half.
The breeze was not over kt At
11.03 the Howard took second place
again. At 11.30 the wind had increased
to 21 knots and the Ford was lta,rr
the Yankee and tlie Howrad bv more
than a mile. The tackle on the liownr.rK
fore top sail worked loose and two men
were sent aloft to adjust it.

Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, Timothy

the public, Mrs. Hall is held responsible

Many More Prisoners than

Coming In

NOT A SOLUTION
Forty or More in Camp on Highway Job

Must Re Provided Many on Proba
tion for Lack f Room.
Will the state of. Vermont, through the
state board of control, make an appro
priation for an additional building at the
state prison at'Windsor? Can the state
at this time, before the legislature meets,
authorize an appropriation for the build
ing of additional cells inside the present
buildings? If not, what is going to be
done about the housing of prisoners, as
the prison already is overflowing?
These are some of the questions which
are now disturbing the minds of the
members of the board of control, which
consists of Gov. James Ilartness of
Springfield, Roland Stevens of White
River Junction, Walter F. Scott, state
treasurer, of Brandon, and Benjamin
Gates, auditor of accounts, of Montpel
ier. There are approximately 323 prison
ers. 45 of whom are now living at a road
camp under guard along the Bridge-water-Sherburne
highway, where a new
road is leing constructed. The remain
ing 20 prisoners are housed at the
prison buildings in 210 cells. This over
crowded condidtion has been relieved
somewhat by converting two of the large
rooms in the buildings into open dormi
tories, a system which has been used for
the past six months and which is believed
to be the first time this system has been
used anywhere in New England. In
each dormitory, several cots are placed
side by side, the appearance of the room
being not unlike the barfacks used by
the soldiers in the various cantonments
during the recent World war period. In
each dormitory have been placed (he men
with good records and those who can be
trusted, and thus far the system has
worked out successfully.
.But this innovation will not, take care
of all the prisoners, as they, are con
stantly arriving and as soon as the cold
weather sets in the 43 men that are
working on the roads will return to the
prison and additional accommodations
will have to be made for them. -
In order to provide sufficient cells for
al) the men the state will have to make
an appropriation of from $73,000 to
$100,000. which may be used toward the
construction of an additional building or
wmen may le utilized in constructing
fells in the large rooms already in the
building. A modern cell costs about
51.0OO no that the additional cells re
quired to house every prisoner separately
would cost well over the figures men
tioned. One of the results of the overcrowded
condition has been the placing of more
men on parole, and the discharge of those
prisoners who are deserving and who
have served their minimum sentence. At
present the board is faced with two alter
natives: Either money must be appro
priated for another dormitory, or inmates
with good records must be paroled. Just
now there are- 833 men out on parole
and on probation, the latter being those
men who have been senlenced for various
misdemeanors but whose sentences, have
been suspended pending good behavior.
During the administration of Gov.
Percival W. Clement, who preceded Gov
ernor Ilartness. the house of correction
at Rutland and the state prison were
i-onsolidated. and the building used as
the house. of correction was abandoned,
all the women prisoners being taken to
Windsor. More recently this building
has been brought into use as a prison for
women, who have been transferred (here
from Rutland. T
The last two years have seen a large
increase in the number of prisoners at
Windsor, and the ratio seems to 1k con
stant at "the present time, s' that this
problem of housing the inmates will soon
have to be solved by the memlers of the
board.

Cord of Wood 1
THAT MORE THAN
DEALERS WOULD PAY
At That Figure Wood Should Be No. 1 '
Rock Maple Dried Under Cover
Thinks Coal Dealers -Will Be Able tc
Meet Reasonable Needs.
"We are making no attempt to fix the
lrice of wood, but we don't think people f
ought to pay more than $15 for a cord of t
wood that is a full cord, and that price
is probably $3 more than the dealers in
wood themselves would pay for it. Fif-
teen dollars a cord is all that you should
pay, and we mean for A No. 1, good, i
harfl rack-maple wood, dried under cover.
There's a lot of wood that comes into
Brattleboro that's worth only $12 and
$10 a cord and many of these cords are I
only three-quarters of a cord. Through j
the state's attorney, .we're going to in-
sist that a cord must be a cord."
These statements, in brief, were made I
b Sanford A. Daniels, chairman of the
local fuel committee, before an inter
ested audience at the Better Homes dem
onstration at Festival hall last night. ,
Mr.- Daniels was one of the two local
speakers who gave talks, the other be
ing Ferris R. Vaughan, who spoke on
the Brattleboro Co-operative Savings &
Loan association, of Which he is presi- .
dent.
The demonstration was again well at
tended Both afternoon and erening, many
housewives being present in the after
noon to see the cooking demonstrations
by -means of electrical apuliances by Mrs.
M. M. Sumner, who is demonstrating
for the Twin State Gas & Electric Co.
Probably the most interesting program
of the week was held last night, when a
20-minut moving picture was the open
ing feature at 7.45. It was a reel loaned
by the Priseilla Proving Plant of Bos
ton and showed the correct table service
that should be used for breakfast, lun
cheons, dinners, etc. Although of pri
mary importance to women, the instruc
tive features of the film were worked
out to swell a nicety iLut ine picture was
practically of equal interest to the men
present.
The presentation of the picture waa
followed bv the sincinz of two selections
by part of the high school chorus. Miss
Jessie L. Haw ley accompanist, and next
in order were two violin solos by Miss
Dorothy Hebb. All four numbers were
greatly enjoyed.
The first speaker, Mr. Vaughan, told
of the'advantflges of the Savings & Loan
association and showed how this organi
zation helps people to build and own
homes. Brattleboro needs more home
owners, he said, and when people own
homes there is more pride in the town.
The great advantage in the loan associa
tion as an investment proposition is that
the money invested in it stays right here
in town, whereas in outside investments
t.'ie money is sent hundreds of miles
away and' used to build up other towns
and communities. The speaker then told
how the association was growing, say
ing that the assets had doubled every ,
two vears. Mr. Vaughan showed a few '
photographs of local homes which had
bc?n built with the aid of the associa
tion. (Continued on Page' Eight)
