the national railway strike in 1910 by
the power OF the Government to call
upon the strikers az soldiers. II Is re-
called in this connection that in
October, 1910, the national railway
strike was general. the entire coun-
try was d~lsorganized and the food
supply Of Paris was seriously en-
dangered. Prompt action by Mr..
BRAND. then Prime Minister, saved the
country. He ordered the arrest OF the

mobilization for a period of three weeks
military training OF 10000 of the rail-
way employees.

Of CONSUMPTION is the Daily Ne,ps. which

The grave arguments which forbid
resort to CONSUMPTION and compulsory
methods have often been driven home
in this journal. Those who find reasons
against compulsion in principle and ex-

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Godfrey Scott, 10. of Randolph Was Re-
pairing Telephone Line.

Randolph, Aug. l3.--Godfrey Scott,
eldest child OF DR.. and Mrs. g. W. Scott,
was killed by coming in contact with a
Ihigh-powered wire while he was repair
| ing the telephone wires on the High
lands yesterday. There was no one near
at the time, and the first to discover his
condition was Mrs. II. K. Brooks who
had seen the young man climb the pole
between her residence and the house of
! w. Il. Lamson and who, ten minutes
later, heard no sound and went out to
see what the trouble was. Still seeing
him on the pole she spoke to him but
got no response.
At once Mrs. Brooks went across the
street to the residence of Rev G. O.
Howe where there were painters at
work When assistance came it was
found that the young man was reclin-
ing with his chin resting upon the tele-
phone wires. A telephone message to G.
$. Booth caused the current TO be turned
off and then Mr. Hayes, one Of the paint
ers, climbed the pole and attached
rope to the body, after which it was let
down to the ground.
Drs Clifford, Angel and Russlow were
on the scene and they did all in their
power, but they failed to bring back the
spark OF life. They worked for three
quarters of an hour and then the body
was removed TO the house of w. +. Lam
sen, where the efforts were renewed but
all in vain. DIR. Scott, the boys father,
was in East Randolph, at the home of
Miss Marion Huntington, and did not ar
rive for an hour.
The electric light wire was carrying a
current Of 220 volts and when the young
mans left foot came in contact with the |
wire his left shoe was burned through |
to the instep, and il is thought that |
death must have been instantaneous.
Godfrey was - year5A Of age. He was
graduated from Randolph high school in
1914 and had completed one year in the |
University OF Vermont, being employed |
In the summer vacation doing repair /
work for the Randolph Telephone line.
He had resided in Randolph since child
hood and was a general favorite. He
was a member of the Randolph base
ball team and on Wednesday played at
his position of third base The ball
.eam met yesterday afternoon and voted
10 disband for the remainder of the sea.

The young man is survived by his
parents, one sister. Miss Ruth Scott,
Ind two brothers. Martin and Ethan.
The family have the sympathy of the
utire community.

1BEEF" GOES TO vERGENNEs
And His Pal, James Brodie, Pays Fine
for Annoying Merry -Go-Round Man.

There is a man in the north end who
called at police headquarters to-day and
modestly requested that he be given per-
mission to run his own business on at
least two nights each week and along
lines that he had followed in other cities.
The police looked into the matter and de-
cided that Mr.. Charles Brown, for he is
the author of the simple request, could
run his own business every night but
Sunday, if he chooses. Sunday nights
are prescribed by the city council, but
there are six other nights when Mr..
Brown will not look to young Beef

for their assistance in operating his
merry -go-round at the corner of North
Seminary and North Main streets
The "Beef" is going to Vergennes for
the remainder of his minority, Brodie
has paid $3 fine and costs of $4.05 for
breaking the peace and other northend
Youngsters have promised to be good.
According to Mr.. Brown, acts OF hood
lumism in the neighborhood of his merry
go-round reached the acute stage last
night. An officer listened to Mr.. Browns
complaint, started for Bianchi and had
landed that energetic youngster in COW
cred jitney bus when "Beef" ducKed
through an open window and was pres
emily out of reach. He was recaptured,
however, and this morning Beef" long
since adiudged delinquent and at lib
erty pending good behavior, was sen
fenced by Magistrate III. w. Scott to
serve the remainder Of his minority in
the industrial school. Brodie pleaded
guilty to the charge preferred against
him in complaint made to Grand Juror
William Wishart and paid up. Mr..
Brown doesn't look for any interference
when the merry -go-round begins its revo-
Iutions this evening.

Reinforcements and Coun-
ter-Attacks Strength
en- the Russians
FORTRESS OF KOVNO
STILL HOLDING OUT
German Attacks Toward
Riga Have Also Been
Repulsed

London, Aug. l3--The Russians fol
the timebeing are holding in check the
Baltic flank of the German armies, which
are struggling to cut the Warsaw Pet,
iograd railway and are battling toward
the river Dwina, beyond which lie the
roads to the Russian capital This has
been accomplished by the aid of rein
forcements and by virtue of one counter
attack after another. The fortress OF
Kovno still holds out, the German at
tacks toward Riga have been repulsed
and the railway junction at Dyinsk re-
mains in Russian hands.
From Ostrolenka, north of Warsaw, to
Chelm in the south the Teutons claim
to have made further progress but be-
tween the Viepra and Bug rivers they
apparently have been thrown back with
heavy losses. 1t may be that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has not exert
ed his full power in the north but is
awaiting events in the south before
hammering his hardest toward the
Dwinsk, near the banks of which his
cavalry has been for some time.
The fact that the Germans are able
to advance with comparative rapidity
due east from Warsaw while they are
being checked on the right and left
flanks has given rise to the impression
in England and Russia that the stout re-
sistance offered by the Russian wings
will insure the safe withdrawal of the
main body of troops from the Warsaw
salient. Contrary to many reports, the
main line of communication between the
Polish capital and Petrograd has not
been cut through but it would be ii
the Germans took Dwinsk.
The approaching meetings of the Greek
and Serbian parliaments give promise
they will bring the Balkan situation to
a head, although for the moment Greece
and Serbia remain obdurate in their re-
fusals to concede territory.
