Paris. Dec 26.-In addresses at the
National Congress Of the French So
cialist party, Arthur Henderson,, the
British cabinet minister. and G. H.
Roberts, member Of the British parlia-
ment, both affirmed, amidst enthusi-
astic cheers, that the war must be
fought out until full guarantees have
been obtained for lasting peace.
I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Henderson,
IL France and ourselves were to en-
ter into negotiations under existing
conditions we should be nations in bon
dage. Nothing less than that. Is the
price our enemies would exact for
peace today"
Emile Vandervelde, the Belgian So
cialist leader. said:
Our comrades who have remained
in invaded Belgium, bear up under
German dominion with admira BILE
firmness. Nothing but encouragement
reaches us from them. So that it would
seem that the persons most hostile to
war are those farthest from it,
Mr.. Vandervelde also declared that
the struggle must be carried on until
Belgium and Serbia are delivered and
Caesarism is laid low.
In his speech Mr.. Henderson said:
In my opinion we have now reach
ed the most dangerous and difficult pc
Rod OF the war. During the next few
months the democracies of ngland and
France are going to be tested as new
er before. Do not misunderstood me. l
do net mean that the stress and strain
or fighting in the field will be more
severe, although l do not ignore such
possibility But the danger is q an
entirely different character
Our stupendous losses, our unpre-
cedented sacrifices. our horror of war,
our love of peace, may lead us to mort
gage the future. With such awful ex-
perlences we are apt to forget the
great moral, eternal principles and
IDEALS FOR which we entered the strur-
gle. We are not only fighting a mega :
tive action against material forces
which are highly organized. but we
are engaged in o great spiritual con-
hict upon the result of which depends
all our great ideals. If we enter into
negotiations now we do SO when Ger

OF FrejejI

A STATEMENT BY
G. w. ANDERSON
Federal Investigator Sends Let
tiers Asking for Cooperation
from Railroad officials

Boston, Dec ga widespread and
unnecessary detention of freight cars
in various parts of the country to-
freight equipment. is indicated by re-
ports of Special agents of the depart
ment of justice and inspectors of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Fed
eral District Attorney George w. An
derson stated today. Mr.. Anderson
who is conducting the federal govern
ment's inquiry into the high cost OF
food and other necessaries, asks the
cooperation of railroads in reporting
to him all unnecessary detention OF
freight cars.
In letters sent today to President
Howard Elliott of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad. President
James H. Hustis of the Boston &
Maine Railroad and Vice President
Howard M. Biscoeo the Boston & AL
bany Railroad, Mr.. Anderson said:
I'm and about some cities Il shall
not of course now state where) we find
that coal cars have been kept after
reaching the delivery points from two
to five times the normal period re-
Quired for unloading. Such facts are
exceedingly suspicious. They point to
probable combinations. in restraint OF
trade. particularly when we find them
accompanied by greatly enhanced
prices, out of which extraordinary
profits must have accrued to some OF
the persons apparently responsible fol
such detention Of cars.
Il suggest that there be now sys-
tematic cooperation between railroads
with this department through your
furnishing to this department at fire.
quent periods, perhaps daily, lists OF
cars held unloaded over 4S hours: also
lists of cars unusually delayed in
reaching destination by reason OF
abuse of the re-consigning privilege.
IF this proposition meets your ap-
prevail suggest that competent men
be designated to cooperate with the
agents of this department in working
out all necessary details. With such ar
arrangement, think, we can have
speedily and effectively brought to the
attention of the law Offices of this de-
partment all suspicious facts and we
can then send for the persons appar-
emily responsible for such delay and
detentions, giving them an opportunity
to show whether their acts are or are
not a part of combination in illegal
restraint of interstate trade.
1T is our view that such co-opera-
ton between the railroads and this de-
partment will not only prevent many
violations of the law which otherwise
it might be the duty of the federal
government to prosecute, but also te
assist the railroads"

YOUNG MAN SUICIDES.

Romeo Scampini, aged IS years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Angelo Scampini and a
day student at Goddard Seminary in
Montpelier, was found dead in the Italian
Pleasure club early Tuesday morning
with bullet through his heart. Ma
thalie Fontana, aged II years, high
school student, is being held by the
State as a material witness. Fontana
claims that he and Scampini attended a
show and afterwards stopped at a
restaurant where Scampini took a
Colts revolver out of his pocket and
loaded it, saying that he would use it in
case of emergency. Fontana claims he
urged Scampini to go home, but he
would not. Finallally Fontana put on
his hat and coat and started for the
door, and looking around he saw
Scampini unbutton his coat and marked
circle around his heart with pencil.
The next thing Fontana heard was a
shot, and going to him found he had
fired shot through the center of the
circle. He rushed out, summoned the
police and doctor, who came imme-
diately, but Scampini was dead.
Scampini broke a leg in an accident last
spring and had never fully recovered.

EISH HATCHERY DAMAGED.

A fire which promised to reach serl-
Gus proportions but for its timely dis
covery broke out at the fish hatcheres
in st. Johnsbury Sunday morning. l.,
r. Noyes, who has been staying in the
hatchery temporarily for few nights
as Waterman, awakened when nearly
sufrocated by the heavy smoke. He
found the smoke to be issuing from the
laboratory room and Immediately closed
the doors between the hatchery and the
laboratory. A quarter of an inch
hose that happened to be coupled to a
faucet near by was used to good advan-
tage for a few minutes. Supt. Dins-
more. who had been called, arrived with
a fire chemical from the house, which
with another small chemical in the
hatchery, was sufficient to put out the
blaze
