ed, and the Rutland Railroad com.

The plaintiffs case, was originally
brought and argued by the law firm
of Guggenheimer, Utermyer & Marsh
all, while the defense was represent
ed by Attorney Frederick II. Button
for the defendant; Edwin w. Law
renee for the Rutland railroad
Frequent charges by the defense
that the case was purposely delayed
by attorneys for the compliments
are sustained by the history of the
case which was originally brought in
May, 1911 for the clerks entries
from the start show continual mo-
tons for continuance, while the TAX
ing of testimony dragged for years,
because of the inaction of the com
plainants counsel
The original bill of complaint charg
ed the various directors with the mis-
appropriation of funds and also a
scheme to defraud the bank by stock
transaction wk;ch covered the pur-
chase OF several railroads which form
cd the connecting link between the
Rutland railroad lines into Canada,
opening up possible big freight
business from the west and middle

Won HlNDENsuRe ON PEACE
Great Britain, Servia and Italy Must
Be Punished

The Neue Freie Presse publishes
at Vienna an interview with the Ger
man field marshal, Won Hindenburg,
at his quarters, which are described
as being in one of the most import
ant points of the line of defense
which Russia had established against
Germany"
The field marshal began, in reply
to remark concerning his populari-
ty and his eventual triumphal entry
into Berlin, by saying laughingly: 81
am already frightened about it. II |
could have my way | would not enter
Berlin at all, but would wear civilian
clothing and leave the train at Kott-
bus. do not like to be feted Gin
cinnatus, who returned to the plow
is a beautiful figure. However, my
entry into Berlin will not come so
quickly. At present the enemy won't
make peace They are not yet weak
ened enough We must therefore
keep it up further"
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
criticized the French demands, par
ticularly that relating to Alsace-Lor-
raine. III they want it," he said,
they should come and get it. The
British appear also to have decided
TO continue the war. 1t is true that
reports come from India that ought
to dampen the British lust for war
somewhat, but one must wait and
see whether these reports are zorro
borated. Great Britain has her
Achilles tenden; | am not referring
alone TO India.
In Russia, also, the emperor and
government plainly desire the con
tinuation of the war. The most re-
markable thing is that all these ma.
tons do not see that they are only
sacrificing themselves for Great Brit
ain. 1t does not look like peace, and
so Germany cannot sheathe her
sword"
The field marshal declared that
every German would rejoice if an end
were put to the terrible blood-letting,
but that Germany must carry on the
war which was forced on her He
concluded by saying: Il should be
especially pleased at the destructive
defeat of the Italians. This war must
not end without the three principal
sinners, Great Britain, Servia and
Italy, receiving just punishment
