Tempe News Notes
LAIRD POSTMASTER
 TEMPE TOMORROW

Notification that Hugh E. Laird has been officially appointed postmaster of the Tempe postoffice was received yes- terday from the postal department in Washington, D. C.. a.iu the office will open tomorrow morning with Mir. Laird in charge. That Laird would be the next postmaster was understood more than a month ago, but a few days after the resignation of the former post master. J. w. Woolf, and his taking active charge of the office has been but a matter of time.
 Not knowing just when the papers advising of Larids official appointment would be received, an acting postmas- ter was appointed on Friday and the honor of this position over yesterday and today falls to Charles c. Woolf, son of the late former postmaster.
 II. E. Laird will be in charge of the Tempe office through the remainder of this month as a third class office and on July first it passes up a notch into the second class. The revenue from postal sales through the current year has already been large enough to war rant this and it is now thoroughly set tied that Tempe will be second class office after July 1st.

the rights Of mankind everywhere and
of what ever nation or allegiance. II
would be deliberate abdication OF
our hitherto proud position as spokes
man even amidst the turmoil of war
for the law and the right. 1t would
make everything this government has
attempted and everything that it has
achieved during this terrible struggle
of nations meaningless and futile.
1t is important to reflect that if in
this instance we allowed expediency
to take this place of principle, the
door would enevitably be opened to
still further concessions. Once accept
a single abatement of right and many
other humiliations would certainly
follow and the whole fine fabric of in
ternational law might crumble under
our hands piece by piece. What we
are contending for in this matter Is OF
the very essence Of the things that
have made America sovereign ma
tion. She cannot yield them without
conceding her own impotence as a ma
ton and making virtual surrender of
her independent position among the
nations OF the world.

IN AHMED LINER CONTROVERSY

Washington, Feb. 25.-President
Wilson at the end Of two days of agi-
tation in Congress for some action
warning Americans off armed mer-
chant ships Of the European belliger-
ents, last night wrote Senator Stone,
chairman of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee, that he could not
consent to any abridgment of the
rights of American citizens in any res
pect. The letter follows
February "a, 1916.
My dear Senator:-I very warmly
appreciate your kind and frank letter
OF today and feel that it calls for an
equally frank reply.
You are right in assuming that |
shall do everything in my power to
keep the United States out of war.
think the country will feel no uneasi-
ness about my course in tltt respect.
Through many anxious moa,us | have
striven for that object amidst diff
culties more manifold than can have
been apparent upon the surface and
so far have succeeded. | do not
doubt that shall continue to succeed.
The course which the central Euro
pean powers have announced their in
tention Of following in the future with
regard to undersea warfare seems for
the moment to threaten insuperable
obstacles, but its apparent meaning is
so manifestly inconsistent with ex.
plicit assurances recently given us by
those powers with regard to their
treatment OF merchant vessels on the
high seas that | must believe that ex.
plantations win presently ensue which
will put a different aspect upon it, We
have had no reason to question their
good faith or fidelity to their promises
in the past and for one, feel conf
dent We shall have none in the frl-
ture. a
But in any event our duty is clear.
No nation, no group of nations, has
the right while war is in progress to
alter or disregard the principles which
all nations have agreed upon in miti-
CATION OF the horrors and sufferings of
war; and if the clear rights OF Ameri-
can citizens should ever unhappily be
abridged or denied by any such ac-
tion we should, it seems to me, have
in honor no choice as to what our
own course should be.
For my own part cannot consent
to any abridgment of the rights of
American citizens in any respect. The
honor and self respect Of the nation is
| involved. We covet peace and shall
preserve it at any cost but the loss OF
| honor. To forbid our people to exer.
cise their rights for fear we might be
called upon to yindicate them would
be deep humiliation indeed. II

JAS. \. LIVINGSTON
VETERAN EDITOR
PASSES AWAY
Had Been in Failing Health Fer
Several Months
He LONG EDITED THE REFORMED R
Learned Printers Trade in Rutland
and Had Been Resident Of Ben.
nnston Over Thirty Years.

James II. Livingston died at his
home on Booth Terrace Thursday
afternoon after an illness OF several
weeks which gradually undermined
his strength. The end came suddenly
following several sinking spells but
his family had known for some time
that his condition was serious.
Mr.. Livingston was born in Bald
winsyille, near Syracuse, in 1S47 and
was So years old this week. While
still small boy his parents moved to
Cambridge, N. Y, where he started to
learn the printers trade at the age of
10. The paper where he was en-
ployed failed and he went to Rutland
where he completed his trade and was
employed for sometime. He then went
to New York where he worked for sew
eral years. At one time he started TO
study medicine to become physician
but was compelled to give 1t up be-
cause Of illness.
About 1873 he came to Hoosick
Falls and embarked in the newspaper
and job printing business. He re-
mained in Hoosick Falls for 10 years
and then became associated with
Charles Fl. Davenport of Brattleboro,
later buying from him the Remington
Reformer which was started by Mr..
Davenport and the late A. p. Childs.
Mr.. Livingston owned and edited the
Reformer for 10 years, selling out in
1902, since which time he has been en-
gagged in the job printing business on
Pleasant street.
He MAJ ried Miss Ella May Sanders
of Berlin, N. Y. who with four child
rem survive, Miss Mabel Livingston,
Miss Ida Livingston, Mrs. Leonard H.
Godfrey and J. Guy Livingston
The funeral will be held from his
late home at . O'Clock Saturday after.
noon and will be private. Rev. George
S. Mills will ofiiciate. M @
James H. Livingston was one of the
most vivid and trenchant writers who
ever welded an editorial pen in ver-
mont. He felt strongly and had a re.
markable power OF expression. In
newspaper controversy he had no
equal in this part OF the country He
was master of sarcasm and quick to
see point.
When he espoused cause ne was
always force to be reckoned with
and he did an important work in sup
port of many things of merit. He
fought long and successfully for a
water system for Bennington and the
Seventh ward school is one of the
fruits of his earnest efforts He was
warm friend and generous and pub.
lie spirited in both public and private
life.
lie was one of the charter members
OF Bennington lodge Of Elks and a
Past Exalted Ruler of the lodge. He
was one of the best printers in the
state and often insisted ON doing a
better job than he was paid for merely
because he hated to see low grade
work turned out of his shop. He will
be sincerely mourned by wide circle
of friends.

Gre n Cut Bore Bone and Mea. Can
not be Beal as an Egg Producer

Any Poultry Food that will increase
egg production more than 800 per
cent in the middle OF winter when
eggs are high and scarce is certainly
something to be sought after by Poul-
trymen. l.. NJ. Boulds of Island Pond,
VT, writes to c. S. Page of Hyde
Park, as follows: s:-"Your Green Cut
Bone for Poultry cannot be beat. 1t
brought my eggs up from one or two
a day to seventeen so far. We would
not be without it. Enclosed find
check for one more barrel"
Green Cut Bone and Meat like that
sold to Mr.. Boulds will be sent by Mr..
Page during freezing weather, freight
paid to almost any Station, for the
small sum of $500 for a 200 pound
barrel. Send money by registered
letter, check, postal or express money
order and the goods will be promptly
forwarded.

the artillery duel continued, but there

official communication issued by the

the front was broken nowhere.
The great German drive for Yer.

the western front since the allied Of
fensiye of last September and pro.
ductive OF one of the most desperate
battles of the war, is being pushed
with tremendous force by the army of
the German crown prince. The Teu-

nearer and nearer the fortress. ac-
cording to the Berlin war Office, which
yesterday announced the driving OF
another wedge into the French line.

have not been broken at any point by
the terrific assaults of the 100000
Germans engaged in the offensive. 1t
