The Only Kind of Peace

The Only Kind Of Peace
The President then made known
clearly the only kind Of peace which
would be acceptable to France. The
address was delivered at the Militor
garrison before a large number Of Lor-
raine refugees to whom the President.
reftrf exrrcssirg his sympathies and
renewing promises of solicitude and
protection, said:
France will not expose her sons to
the dangers of new aggressions. The
Central Empires, haunted by remorse
fer having brought on the war and ter
rfied by the indignation and hatred
they have stirred up in mankind are
trying today to make the world believe
that the Allies alone are responsible
for the prolongation Of hostilities
Neither directly or indirectly have
our enemies offered us peace; but we
do not want them to offer it to us; we

Members of Party

Llewellyn Larrabee, the owner Of
the house, was a man of about so years
old and lived alone, but had with him
Friday night as guests two friends,
William Elwell of Monmouth, aged
about 40 years, who was married and
had a family, and Joseph Danforth of
Litchfield, aged so years and unmar-
ried. That they had liquor Friday
night is known. Regarding the fire
nothing was known until Saturday
morning when the ruins and the bodies
were found. So far as is known no
one saw the fire, although there is a
house within a mile of where the Lar
rabee buildings stood and the blaze
must have lighted up the country for
miles around.
Investigation
Soon after the discovery Saturday morn
ing of the bodies in the ruins DR.. w. H.
Harris of Augusta, medical examiner for
Kennehec county, was notified and as
soon as possible came to Litchfield and
spent some time in thoroughly investi-
eating the matter, with the result that he
found that Charles Bailey, aged about 50
years, had been at the Larrabee house
Friday evening and had, 1t is alleged,
been over to Sabattus and got gallon
Of rum, of which Larrabee had had some.
Bailey was accordingly taken into Gus
tody by Deputy Sheriff A. r. Bucklin of
this town and taken to Augusta.
On arriving at Augusta Bailey was
taken to the Office of County Attorney w.
H. Fisher and subjected to a thorough ex-
animation during which it was learned
that Bailey had been at the Larrabee
house Friday night but had left, accord
ing to his statement before the fire start
ed, although he could not state the time.
He left the house in company with George
and Wilbur Danforth, he with a team
and they walking, as they were going in
another direction; that he drove over to
the place Of a man named Kicker, who
lives about two and one-half miles from
the Larrabee place. 1t was learned that
on Baileys arrival at the Kicker place
the latter came out of the house and
that they saw the light of fire in the
direction of the Larrabee place, but
could not say where it was. This was
at about l o'clock Saturday morning.
After concluding the examination Of
Bailey, County Attorney Fisher allowed
him to go, and has ordered hearing in
the case to be held at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon on the premises.

Throughout City

Dublin, May IL L io 81 e"t iiiouiii
,..ion IN the regulations of martial
law gave the people of Dublin today a
freedom of movement strongly contrast
;,o with the restrictions imposed since
tho rebellion. All may now come ami
m as they wish between the hours of
in the morning and midnight. Dur
ing the remaining four hours, they must
keep within doors.
Asquth Responsible
n is generally understood that Pre-
r,ier Asouith is responsible for this re-
,axation. TIE Premier's study of con-
dtions and the sentiments of the peo-
ME apparentlv convinced him that there
was no great element of rehellious spir-
II remaining Mr.. Asguith's CHEF oc-
cupation since hi- arrival in Dublin has
consisted in seeking a method for the
adjustment Of the Irish crisis and in
ascertainins whether it would be advis-
able 10 return to the former system of
government or adopt a change of rule
more in accordance With the wishes Of
the people. Tie Premier has also given
some attention TO minor factors, these
having to do with the disposal of the
remaining rebel prisoners and compen-
sation for the material damage done in
Dublin.
Asquith's Inquiries
None of the questions have yet been
solved, but Mr.. Asquith had an oppor-
tunity to sec and question a number of
rebels In the detention barracks and to-
day again visited the ruins in various
sections of the city, The information
he thus obtained may be of great SER
vice to isaAssaeh-+ise.-se bjeet-is-brought
before the cabinet on his return to Lon
don, which is expected at an early date.
Mr.. Asquiths presence here has lent
color to the belief that the prime minis
Ter had some project in mind and that
his study of conditions on the spot would
help him formulate a definite plan to
place before Parliament.
The view widely prevails that Mr.. As
ouith would propose to incorporate the
ANONYMOUS anu tilioHlStS IOTCeS Oh
armed volunteers into the auxiliary troops
OF the imperial army and thus avoid the
admittedly perilous problem of disarming
everybody in Ireland not belonging to the
recognized military organizations At the
same time the opinion grows apace in Ia
Vor OF the Irish executive council formed
OF lrishmen conversant with the people
and their aspirations and needs.
All the newspapers, whatever their pol-
'ues' express the desire that the best
should be made out of the situation and
call Tor concessions by the extremists Of
hoth sides who, they declare, do not rep-
resent the true feelings of the Irish peo-
pie.
Inc vast majority of Irishmen, in con-
'eislis' avoid any wild talk and appear
ahAious TO appease the differences exist
ing between the various parties by agrees
'!s on any plan which offers fair
nance OF a stable government in which
oil could have confidence.
