body of Neil Smith, non-union coal
miner. was found on the railroad
tracks. near Suffield, this morning

lost his life through accident or met
with foul play. Incidentally an ltal-
ian who was found asleep near where
the body was discovered and who
made his getaway, is being looked
for.
The accident took place about $3.50
and the body was found at O'Clock.
Near the body were a couple of bot
ties of whiskey and from all indica-
tions the dead soldier was intoxicat-
ed when he either lay down or fell

this afternoon that the Germans to
the east of the city have asked for
an armistice to bury their dead. and
care for their wounded. 1t is under
stood that this request has been re-
fused by the allies.
The leading military authorities
of the city are convinced that Gener-
al Joffre. commander-in n-chief of the
French forces, is at last holding at

or William, who may constitute an
army totaling 10000 men, are today.
encountering the relatively fresh
soldiers of the French and British
armies on ground selected by the al
lies and in positions within easy
reach of supplies and reinforce
ments. The Germans are in hos
tile country and at distances relative
ly great from their home bases. The
invaders today are probably at their
greatest strength, while the defend
ers of France, especially the British
contingents, are being augmented
steadily.
The Germans are reported in Paris
to have asked for an armistioe to
bury their dead and care for their
wounded This statement lacks off
cial confirmation. 1t is further un-
derstood that the allies refused the
request.
The fighting on the long line to
the east of Paris probably will last
for number of days. No quick and
decisive outcome is expected The
results of the encounters of the last
two days are regarded as distinctive
ly favorable to the allies and there is
an atmosphere of cheerfulness at the
French war office.
