ton She was quoted as saying:

escape from the Matteawan state
hospital for the criminal insane,
Will be outlined by Deputy At

which was considered remarkable in
view of the active part he has insisted

trial was evident from their state
ments after the adjournment of court
for the day. Their contention is that
he was sane when he fled from the
asylum in August, 1913, and that he
committed no overt act in making his
escape because the state should have
granted him freedom. 1t is reported
that ThaWs counsel intend to attack
the commitment on which Thaw was
sent to Matteawan on February /,
1908. This order provided that Thaw
should be kept in the asylum as long

After a Brave and Nervy Strug-
gle Popular Young Man
Died Yesterday.
FOUGHT DEATH TO THE END
After Showing Some improve
ment Monday Night Change
for the Worse Came Yester-
day-Funeral This Afternoon.

The seventh victim of Monroe Phil
lips murdcrous rampage passed away
at the city hospital yesterday at 12:l5
o'clock when young Gunnar *. Tol-
mas, just twenty years OF age, who had
been putting up brave but losing
fight for life since Saturday morning,
passed away. thus adding what. ii is
hoped. will be the final chapter, at
least as far as fatalities are concerned.
of the citys most horrible tragedy.
The death of young Gunnar Tolnas
cast gloom of sorrow over the en-
tire city. Not a more popular young
man lived in Brunswick young man
Of sterling worth, known to practically
everybody in the city; prominent as
an athlete as militiaman, as
church worker, and in business cir
cles of the city.
Gunnar had put forth a brave fight
and for time at least it appeared
that he would be rewarded for his no
Bile Struggle Monday and Monday
night, while his condition was serious.
he seemed brighter and for the first
time since he fell mortally wounded
from a load of buckshot from the gun
Of Monroe Phillips, hopes were enter
taincd for his recovery
Yesterday morning, however, a
change TOR the worse set in and ii was
soon realized that death was only
question Of time. The young man had
made himself believe he was going to
recover and up to the very last, until
he finally Iansed into unconscousness
a minute or two before his death, he
believed that it would be only short
time before he would be minging
with his friends again.
The wounds of young Tolnas were
known TO be serious, and from the
outset grave hopes were entertained
for his recovery. However, the brave
fight that he put up gave even his at
tending phyhicians more hope, and the
news of his death yesterday came
somewhat as a surprise.
Gunnar Tolnas has resided in Bruins
wick practically all of his life. He
was just twenty years of age and is
survived by his father and two broth
ers, Diff and Trigg j. Tonas, both
of whom now reside IN Athens. The
latter has been in the city since Sun
day and the former will arrive this
morning
The funeral will occur this after
noon at 2:30 O'Clock from the First
Baptist church. There viii be q short
service first at the residence, 1905

ficiating The Brunswick Riflemcn,
of which the deceased was promi-
ncnt member, will attend in body
The company will assemble at the ar
mOrN at las and will march in
body to the residence, then to the
church. At the cemetery the usual
yollcy salute will be fired
The death of young Tolnas is indeed
sad one, and the heart-stricken faith
er and brothers have the sympathy of
the entire community 1t was only
short time ago that Paul Tomas, d
brother of the deaceased, and pop
ular young man, lost his life in an ac-
cident at the plant of the Yaryan Ma
val Stores company.

Premier Who Demanded Action
Against Turkey Has Been

OF KING FERDINAND
Athens Has Now Taken a Firm
Stand for Peace With All
ADMINISTRATION Becoming
Serious.

LONDON, March o. Bulgaria, CON
sidered the least likely of any of the
Balkan nations now peace to join
the allies, is confronting an internal
crisis over the question of peace or
war. Reports reaching Paris say Pre-
mier Radoslavoff. who desired i'm
mediate action against Turkey, has
been overthrown by the influence of
King Ferdinand. The plan of the pre-
mier and his followers as thus outlined
was to occupy Adrianople provided
Greece threw in her lot with the triple
entente.
The course to be followed by Greece
still is to be determined, although
King Constantine in his opposition to
war is said to have the support of the
general staff The main argument ad-
vanced against joining the allies is
that an attack on Constantinople
would weaken the military strength
of Greece along the border of Bulga-
ria, which would be regarded as dan
gerous in view Of the relations of the
two countries. M. Zaimis, requested
by King Constantine to form cab
met, has declined and a member of
the chamber of deputies. NJ, Gounaris,
has undertaken the task.
PARIS, March "a ministerial
crisis similar to that in Gl rece has de-
veloped in Bulgaria, according to news
dispatches reaching Paris. RadOsslav-
off is reported to have been over
thrown by the influence of King Fer
dinand and the followers of Dr. G..
Henadieff, former foreign minister,
because he desired to take immediate
action against Turkey by occupying
Adrianople
Radosslavoff's opponents arc said to
have declared that such policy.
which would have placed Bulgaria in
opposition to Germany and Austria,
would be too adventurous. The resig
nation of Premier VenizelOs at Athens
left Greece more isolated than before.
and they argued if Bulgaria remained
neutral she might hope for adyant-
ages other than those she would find
ind Thrace.
Although this information has not
been definitely confirmed, it is gen
orally believed in French official cir
cIes that Radosslavoff has resolved to
march on Adrianople if Greco pro-
nounced for the triple entente and
that Venizelos made such announce
ment at Athens when the question of
Intervention came up.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas again, And, after all. there
is no sWeeter story of this festal sea
son than the first Christmas story ever
told. The world today in its hurrying
and striving, its ambitions and griefs
and triumphs is largely losing sight of
the true meaning of Christmas and its
message of brotherhood and peace on
earth, good will to men. More especial
~ of later years has the custom of ma
terial gift giving and the festivities of
the Christmas holiday week tended to
obliterate this higher import; but the
same Star of Hope whose brilliant light
guided the three Wise Men to the hum
BILE manger where the Christ Child lay
is still radiant with hope to the multi
tudes who are now seeking the same
light that was born to the world on
Christmas day nineteen centuries ago.
Christmas is in reality a time for re-
vivifying the hope, and faith, and JOY
of living in the better days made posi-
bic to mankind because of that Light.

England s colonization policy has
never been put to such a test as since
the coming of the great war. When
Germany was counting the costs of
war before the Serbian flame that
started the confagration she hadn t
reckoned on the loyalty of England s
colonies. 1t was Lord Bryce who in a
recent speech, declared that the British
nation had shown three great merits
in the government of its Empire.
1t had shown itself capable of learning
by experience; it had shown sympathy
in dealing with native races, and
it had put into practice those lessons
of liberty which it began to learn cen
turtles ago. 1t is this attachment to
liberty that has held the British
Empire together. Where can you find
greater loyalty than Canada, Australia,
Egypt, India and South Africa have
shown to the mother country since
August, 1914? England is the greatest
colonizer in the world and her colonial
policy is the best, because it is so sim
pie.

Hundreds of people all over Vermont
have read with sorrow of the critical
illness of Joseph A. DeBoer, the bril-
liant and versatile president of the Ma
tional Life Insurance company. He has
been suffering many months from can
Ger of the throat and two operations
have failed to give him relief. The lit
tie waif who came from Holland, sold
newspapers on the streets of Albany
and worked his way through Dartmouth
college, arose by force of merit and
character to the head of the leading
fiduciary institution of the state. If
Mr.. DeBoer had been a seeker for of
