BREAK WITH GERMANY
Is ALMOST CERTAIN.

The severance of diplomatic re.
lahons with Germany is momen
tarily expected. The United
States has informed the central
powers that the submarine cam
paign must be stopped or we will
break off relations. 1t is conf
dentially expected that Germany
will not accede 10 this demand
and the United States will b.
drawn into the whirlpool OF
European conflict.
To what extent this would i'm.
yolve us-Only the future can tell
The ultinatum addressed u
Germany was read before both
branches Of Congress yesterday
by Pres. Wilson. His words were
heard in silence and without com.
ment. The note was Immediate
~ dispatched TO Germany and
upon her reply depends our flu
ture course.
A break in diplomats relations
eventually means war according
TO history.
This time next week we shall
doubtless know.

OUR LATE EASTER.

Easter Sunday can not happen
earlier than March %, nor later
than April 20, but between those
dates il has a range of 80 days.
At the Council Of Nice, 1915 \
d., it was agreed by the repre-
sentatives present that from that
time forward Easter should fall
ON the first Sunday after the full
moon occurring on or next after
March q, and ON every date be-
tween that and April %; but it is
onl, at long intervals of time that
it occurs on its extreme dates.
In 1886 Easter fell on April %,
its latest possible date, an event
which had not occurred before
during the 18th century, and viii
not again occur until the spring OF
1913. The last time Easter fell ON
its earliest date was in 1918; this
will not again happen during the
10Th or 10Th century. In 1895 1t
came very near TO breaking the
century's early record, falling on
March %. The date for this year
is quite late-being the 23d of
April.

NEW sELF-PRoPELLED
BARGE PASSES HICKMAN.

The self-propelled barge "Inco
/" passed Hickman at an early
hour Monday morning. She is a
large, queer looking craft, propell-
ed with four screws and carrying
powerful wireless telegraph e
quipment. This is the first Of
the fleet of new barges ever seen
here. The company is now ELI
gagged in building ~ such boats,
and believes through this agency
river traffic will be restored. The
power is generated by oil burn
ing engines, and the craft is able
10 navigate very shallow water
Tie lnco | looks very much like
a large warehouse mounted ON a
model barge, and is capable Of
carrying thousands Of tons Of
freight and at very small cost,
compared with the old style river
boat.

ASTRONOMICAL SURVEY
TO LOCATE STATE LINE.

In order TO settle n dispute
over the state line between Ken
lucky and Tennessee between the
counties of Fulton, Ky, and Lake,
Tenn, the government last week
sent a man here with the neceS-
sary Instruments 10 ascertain
whether or not the line stones
have been moved. This instrument
used 10 determine this matter
weighs abou six hundred pounds,
observation being made by the
location of certain stars in order
10 ascertain whether or not these
rocks have been moved. The
work is unique and interesting,
and new 10 this vicinity no smi-
lar work of this kind having been
dong in this section for many
years. II takes about three nights
work on each stone, and is neceS-
sary that the nights be perfectly
clear.
This matter was taken up with
Senator Ollie James, of Kentucky,
and Senator Luke Lea, of Ten
nessee, at the request of the peo-
pie of these two counties and
through these men, aid was gotten
from the government to decide
this matter.
This line has been in dispute
for years, the contention being
made by Tennessee parties that

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Miss Estella Birney of "The Prince of
Pilsen" Co., Expert Dancer.

That toe dancing is one of the best
methods for young women to improve
their figure, is an assertion made by
Miss Estella Birney, who sings the prima
donna role. Mrs Croker" in "The
Prince of Pilsen ;" which comes here on
Monday, Nov. g. Miss Birney. who is a
fine specimen of the perfectly formed
young woman and twenty years of age,
is qualified to comment thus. She is a
graduate of the Metropolitan opera
house, New York, ballet school and for
three seasons was a member of the bal
let with the opera. Miss Birney says:
81 know of no pursuit any more inter
esting than toe dancing, and | would
strongly advise every girl TO take it up
whether for commercial purposes or for
exercise to improve the figure. 1t will
keep you healthy, do away with any SUI
perfiuous flesh and harden the muscles,
points which every girl strives to obtain
The most important fact to bear in
mind is to select a competent teacher,
otherwise the result will not be the
best-",adv.

The Biggest Show,

There are doubtless a great many per-
sons in Boston and through Massachu.
sets who have not grasped what it
means at this time to have Springfield
holding the biggest cattle show ever held
in the world. The multitude in attend
ance each day-the crowds run larger
than those on Braves field during the Sc.
ries for the worlds championship
not left in doubt of the significance of
it all, and no reader of the western news
papers, where great dairy shows have
commonly been held, fails to see what
they think of it out there.
The Kansas City Star scolds Kansas
City roundly for allowing the national
dairy show to come east, and is anything
but fattering to the home folks in the
way it points to the $4,000 that Spring
field raised to get the show with the
$1,000 that Kansas City, much larger
than Springfield, raised to attract the
southwestern dairy show. In similar
fashion the newspapers of Chicago and
St. Louis praise the enterprise OF Spring
field and comment on the awakening of
New England to the possibilities of its
neglected pasture areas close to the great
centres of populations.
New England may not be SO fully
awake to the possibilities as it ought to
be, but it is no longer sound asleep, and
the wonderful exhibition at Springfield
is doing much to get its eyes wide open.
Never before were there million dol
lars worth of prize cattle on exhibition
together, and they constitute but one
item. In the greatest machinery hall in
New England there is million dollars
worth of dairy machinery. In a still
larger hall, the largest in the east, clubs,
and societies of many kinds
notably the boys and girls clubs
have impressive exhibitions, contests and
demonstrations. The horse show is said
to be the largest and finest that the Unit
ed States has ever seen.
And it is only the old-fashioned cat
tie show raised to the nth powers, There
is no midway on trail or pike: no para
chute leaps or vaudeville. Springfield de-
serves the thanks of all New England.
And the best of it is that the great plant
prepared for this show is to be a per
manent thing and will be used in a sim
lar manner every year.-Boston Herald.

Henry Blodgett Knocked Off Bicycle by
Automobile.

As Henry Blodgeet was returning from
Rochester on his bicycle Thursday, h,
was overtaken Just at dusk little this
side of East Randolph by a car that
seemingly went out of its way ttsstrike
him and knocked him off his wheel
heavily to the ground and then went on
without stopping to make any inquiries
A good samaritan in the form of u driv-
err of car going to Montpelier, came
along and found him beside the road and
| took him to the office of DR.. Newell of
East Randolph, who found no bones
broken, but the lad was badly bruised
and shaken up. Later he was brought
to his home by the same man who had
found and aided him, whose name we
did not learn. He states that he was
well out of the road when struck, al
most in the ditch in fact. 1t was sure
enough case of road hog.

Patrons of the postoffice having occa-
sion to return for any reason merchan-
disc to the firm of which purche:ed are
advised TO have the parcels insured as
it often happens that returned articles
do not seem to be properly credited to
the sender. While insured packages are
sent in the same pouches with other
mails as a rule, the fact of their being
returned can be proven, as both the re-
ceiving and dispatching postmaster have
a record of the package as well as the
exact date it was sent and received.
