missioners - Sign Against Park
ing on Elliot Street Needed.

Frank c. Streeter has placed several
large signs on the roads leading to Brat
tleboro, informing motorists that the
muftied cutout ordinance is in force in
the town. These signs were ordered by
the village commissioners with the idea
OF not permitting motorists to have
any excuse for violating the ordinance.
They read: Brattleboro, Vt. Use of
muller cut-out prohibited -
1t has been suggested that there
would be fewer automobiles stopped on
the north side of Elliot street between
Main street and the alleyway back of
the Crosby block if a small sign was dis
played there indicating that parking
machines there is forbidden. It is not
to be expected that strangers in town
should know of this particular rule on
that one street.

cussed in Berlin. The emperor said:
g Comrades: 1t is your especial priv
ilcge to fight against the English, which
means that you are fighting against a
nation that has sworn to destroy Ger
many. The English built up during
the years before the war the combina-
tion of countries which at given
signal fell upon us, attacked us, the
most peaceful and eace-desiring peo-
pie in the world. The English led us
to believe they were our friends when
they were actually plotting our de-
struction.
- English diplomacy brought about
the war, and now an English offensive
is intended to carry the operations to
German soil, into our towns and vii,
lagos to the peril and undoing of our
helpless women and children. Your duty
is to break the English offensive; to
prove once more that Germany is in
vincible, and reduce to despair the re-
lentless enemies of our country so that
they will sue for peace ON terms hon
orable and profitable to Germany
From conservative circles in Ber.
lin comes the announcement that when

inspiring speeches by the emperor at
the front are withheld from general pub
