RETRIBUTION.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
When Peace her olive branch held out,
And wooed the nations to her arms,
They rudey drove her from their side,
And turned their backs upon her charms.
IT, vain she pleaded to be heard,
In vain she tried the world to save
From all the horrors Of grim war,
That opened up a nations grave.
So. driven forth. she fled away
No more to come with outstretched
hand,
But to remain across the seas
Safe sheltered in a friendly land.
And now they sigh and long for her,
And strain their horror-stricken eyes
To catch a glimpse of her white robe,
Until the hope within them dies.
But now It's they who must seek her,
And toilsome is the dreadful way,
Through carnage fields and burning
homes,
Past piles of dead and savage fray,
Knee deep in bloody rivers flow,
Through scenes whose terrors never
cease,
This is the way they now must go,
The nations when they seek for peace.

OMAHA Sept. 24.-To the Editor OF
The Bee What a charming sound the
above expression has to American ears!
Hitherto II has been the dream of pat
riots, but now that 1t is suggested by
the Autokrat of the Russias, it begins to
assume an aspect of reality Germany
has always charged Russia with sinister
design upon Europe. but this suggestion
shows the charge utterly groundless.
Despotic as the government of Russia
is, there is much to be said in it's favor.
1t greatly needed Port Arthur as an out
let for it's Asiatic possessions. 1t is the
originator OF The Hague tribunal: It al
ways opposed the Turk; 1t made a naval
demonstration to show it's sympathy in
our civil war; it has granted Poland
autonomy. and now suggests a federation
OK the states Of Europe, il this war should
bring about such q result, it will be
worth all 1t costs.
What has emphatically been called the
balance OF power" has maintained an
unstable peace in Europe for centuries
and has been but little better than armed
neutrality. ready to spring at each other
on the least provocation.
This federation needs not be as close as
that OF the United States, because some
of the states would want to be repub-
lies and some constitutional monarchies.
but absolute monarchies should not be
allowed. That such union is possible, no
intelligent man can deny. This would
remove the incubus of standing armies.
except for police purposes. mutual dis
trust. petty tariffs. examination of pass
ports and rummaging Of trunks etc, every
few hours, as one travels through those
countries. 1t would greatly facilitate
trade and travel and lead to unification
Of language and brotherhood, as 1t does
In this country. Such a war as is now
going on would be impossible, because
there would be no provocation and no
armies to carry II on. Europe can never
have permanent peace till such union is
effected. That the most despotic and
powerful state in this federation volun-
tarily offers to put herself on an equality
with weaker states is most auspicious
and her proposition should be accepted
at once. D. c. JOHN.

Goddard Seminary Banked
Middlebury High School
Team on Saturday
VISITORS OUTPLAYED
IN ALL DEPARTMENTS
Game Proved a Farce and
Offered the Local Boys a
Chance to Boost Batting

A harvest of Fl hits for a total of 20
bases, augmented by row of IA errors
Iperpetrated by the opponents, netted Fl
runs for Goddard seminary Saturday aft
ernoon in its game against Middlebury
high school, alleged to be one of the
strongest teams in that section of the
state. in the meantime Pitchers Keefe
and Ford, the Goddard moundsmen, were
twirling the most effective ball and held
the Addison county lads scoreless. A
few weeks ago Goddard defeated Middle
bury by the score of IS to 2 at Middle
bury.
Saturdays game was fasco and in
terest in the affair waned after the first
inning. The Middlebury team were pitt
fully weak against the strong seminary
aggregation.
The contest afforded Coach Hoernle
the opportunity for numerous substitu-
tions, and the opening was welcomed by
the Goddard squad as q medium for en-
HANGING their batting averages. The pill
was knocked numerically by the sem
mary clouters. The best hitting of the
day was contributed by Bailey, the big
first sacker, and Captain Witt. The for
mer secured five hits out OF six times up
for a total of II bases. His hits were
lusty drives and figured prominently In
the scoring. Captain Witt turned OFF
four hits in five trips to the plate Hast
ings, the former Dorchester, Mass, play
err, at last struck mis- true stride. He
knocked out two doubles and a single in
four trips to the bat. Benedict hit safe
ly three times for the visitors.
Scoring started in the opening round
when Goddard registered three times.
There we're only three innings when scor-
ing did not materialize. In the other
sessions it was just one continuous can
ter around the base paths. 1t was the
first appearance OF two Goddard pitchers
in a local game this season. Both Keefe
and Ford were utilized last season. This
spring the pair seem to have profted by
experience. Keefe allowed three hits in
five innings, while Ford was hit safely
only once.
In the absence of Maurice Gray, the
regular baekstop, Washer was detailed
for the catching. He caught very cred
liable game and will prove a valuable |
to Gray. While the game
was devoid of fielding features, there
was considerable comment forthcoming
for the errorless game played by God |
dard. The score:

st. Johnsbury, May ls.-Spaulding
high school of Barre decidedly outclassed
the local academy team on Saturday
afternoon, winning 10 to 4. The victory
was the second of the season for Spauld-
ing over the st. Johnsbury team. The
game was witnessed by a large number
of spectators and at times the play was
exceedingly interesting. Vetti, the local
pitcher, was touched up for IL hits. Kid
der, the Barre pitcher, was hit for IL
safeties, but frightened in pinches and
steered his mates to safety. The fea-
ture of the game was the batting of
oliver, the Spaulding first sacker. He
hit safely on every trip up. Gordon con-
tributed fielding features. During the
latter part of the game Alexander, the
Barre catcher, was obliged to withdraw
because OF finger injuries. He was re-
placed by Hooker. The score:
