The filing of two suits against the Cen
trail Vermont Railway company by mo-
florists whose ear was struck by tram
at West Townshend leads to the query if
the railroads of the country have mo
tor accident defense fund set aside for
such emergencies like this. The multi
plication of suits will demand that event
ually. if not now, unless greater progress
is made in abolishing grade crossings.

The United States has been receiving
some valuable exercise in the field OF
diplomacy. A few OF our diplomats
should be very valuable men by the time
we finish sending notes to belligerents
who persist in violating international
rules.

Canada shows supine indifference to
permit men of German birth and with
brothers serving in the German army to
continue holding important public office
in the dominion government Such men
might not prove false to their trust but
they might be only lukewarm in their
allegiance to Canada.

"UNBEATEN TEAM" LOST.
Burlington High Was Defeated By Peo-
pies Academy.

| Morrisville, Feb. 1.-THE fast basket
| ball team of Peoples academy defeated
| the hitherto unbeaten Burlington high
school team in whirlwind game here
last night by the score of 81 to IL. The
Burlington team seemed dazed by the
aggressive attack OF the academy boys,
whose passing and shooting were superb,
and never really got started, although
there was some good individual work by
some of their members. For Peoples
academy, Towne, the fast right forward,
did stellar work, shooting five baskets
from the floor and one from the foul
mark, while his teammate, galloway.
played good game at center and scored
three baskets from the floor. Bregstein
at center and Flint, left guard of the
Burlington team, played well.
