1t seems everyone of the large au-
dience that attended the last literary
program went away we'll pleased.
The different selections recited and
read were loudly appladded. The
drill was beautiful. Uncle Sam (Troy
McCraw) and Columbia iona Ben
nett) acting their parts out with the
greatest dignity and stateliness.
The double quartet sang several
selections fitting the occasion.
0 solo was sung by Lester Ingram
and was heartily applauded by the
people.
Perhaps the most dramatic and ef-
fective part of the program was the
tableaux. The lights of the auditor
ium were turned out, and the tab
leaux lit up by the stereopticon and
"red fire." The first part was "The
Birth Of Old Glory" Around the
table on which was the flag stood
Betty Ross Norma Frederick) and
George Washington and several 9TH
ers. Lincoln, the Man of the Peo-
pie" was the next. Lincoln (Troy
McCraw) was sitting on bench. On
his face the expression of a person
with the deep sorrow and the bur-
dens of his country and people was
seen. The last was the spirit Of
'76." 1t was the picture of three or
four patriots. The leader with sword
and gun, the small drummer boy and
a wounded comrade watching them.
Mr. C. L. Sweek gave an excellent
speech fitting the occasion. He brot
to the minds of his audience tie topic
What Washington or Lincoln Would
Have Said About Preparedness had
They Been Living Now" 1t was a
real, live and interesting subject and
well delivered.

SCOTT DUE TODAY
AT WASHINGTON

Washington, May 14.-Major General
Scott chief of staff of the army, is due
here tomorrow with detailed report
of his discussions at Ell Paso with Gen.
Alvaro Obregon, war minister of the
de facto government Of Mexico.
The conference brought no formal or
even tentative agreement as to the stu
alton along the border and the status of
American troops now in Mexico, but there
are indications that Gen. Scott will be
able to give Secretary Baker and Off
Gals of the state department definite in
formation as to what Gen. Carranza pro-
posed to do toward demonstrating his
ability to stop brigandage along the in
ternational line.
General Scott's Geographic report at the
conclusion of the conference threw little
light on the situation further than to in
dictate that the exchange of views with
the Mexican war minister had been on
wholly indefinite character.
De Facto Ambassador Arredondo was
still without instructions from General
Carranza tonight in regard to steps he
may take in seeking to reopen diplomatic
consideration of the border situation.

NEWFOUNDLAND
MAY TAKE over
FRENCH COLONY
OF ST. PIERRE
Officials See Possibility in Nego-
tiatiOnS over Fish
Problems

| st. Johns. N. F., May 14-The pos
sibility of the acquisition of the French
colony of st. Pierre by Newfoundlan nd
is being discussed in official circles as
result Of conditions arising out of
the European conf1irr.
The matter was brought up by the
recent negotiations which led to the
relaxation Of the tenn of the war of
the so-called bait act by the New
foundland government in view of the
shortage Of fish in France. The bait
act was put in force in 1886 and pro-
hibited the selling of herring to the
French fishermen whose headquarters
We're at st. Pierre.
With the advent of the war France
withdrew the last Of her fishermen
from this side Of the Atlantic, result
ing in a critical shortage of fish at
home. Representations were made to
the Newfoundland government and in
view of the circumstances, it was de-
cided to allow buyers from st. Pierre
TO purchase Newfoundland herring on
the condition that the fins should not
be used for bait. but should be de-
voted solely to food purposes.
Within the next few months thou
sands Of barrels of. herring. it is ex-
pected. will be shipped to st. Pierre.
This concession, 1t is believed in some
circles. will pave the way to read
justment Of the whole issue after the
war and possibly to negotiations to-
wards the taking over of ST. Pierre by
Newfoundland. The matter has been
talked of unoff1cially before, but has
found no responsive echo in French
government circles because Of the value
of the little fishing colony as a train
ing school in seamanship for the
navy.

Charred Bodies Of Llewellyn Larrabee, William

Litchfield, Me-, May 14.-(SpeciaD.-
Charred and burned and blackened al
most beyond the possibility Of rec
ignition of having been human beings,
the remains of three men were found
Saturday morning in the smouldering
ruins Of what had been the home of
Llewellyn Larrabee, not far from

the worst tragedy which has been en-
acted in this town for years, is not
known, but it is believed that the three
men met their deaths while in stu
por which followed party last Friday
night. Whether some one Of them in
some way upset lamp and thus set
the house On fire, or whether the fire
which destroyed the house and also
their lives originated in the stove will
probably never be known.

TAFT LETTERS
ASK CLERCYMEN
TO AID MOVE TO
ENFORCE PEACE
Written to 10000 Members of
the Pulpit-Armaments
to Support Law

New York, May 14.-Letters signed
by Former President Taft, as head of
the League to Enforce Peace, and a
committee of prominent cburchmen have
pcen written to 10000 clergymen
throughout the country it was announc-
cd tonight, asking them to embody in
their sermons next Sunday an eXplana-
ton of the leagues purposes. 1t is adj
mitted that There is no reasonable
ground to hope that the nations of the
orld will at this stage go so far as to
disarm and create an International army
and navy to police the world"
However" the letter says, I'VE have
got to the point where there is ground
for hope that al the end of this war
the community of nations will do what
every primitive community sooner or
later does: namely, unite in forming
a vigilance committee in which thew
agree to use their combined force to
see that outlawry is kept down and
the peace maintained"
The letter adds: Shall we not saw
that II nations must arm, their arma-
ments shall be used to support law
rather than to break it?'

want them to ask it of us. We do not
want to submit to their conditions;
we want to impose ours on them. We
do not want a peace which would
leave Imperial Germany with the pow
er recommends the var and keep Eu-
rope eternally menaceu. We want peace
which receives from restored rights
serious guarantees OF equilibrium and
sta bilty.
so long as that peace is not as
sured to us; SO long as our enemies
will not recognize themselves as van
quished, we will not cease to fight"
President Poincare told the refugees
that they were only small number Of
the victims OF the invasion; these were
distributed in all parts of the country
and there was not a department that
was not sheltering thousands. Every
where, they were waiting with calm
confidence for the hour Of deliverance

On the Russian front commandments

Russian Advance

The Russians and the Turks are
keeping up their attacks and counter

Northwest Of Erzerum in the Kope
mountain region, Constantinople re-
ports the repulse with heavy losses Of
Russian attacks to regain lost posi-
tons. Petrograd admits that in this
general region around Erzingan and
Asckala the Turks forced their advance
guards to retire at some points. but,
says the Ottoman forces desisted I'M
their attacks after having suffered ex-.
tremely heavy casualties.
Father south, to the east Of Mosul the
Russians are throwing a fresh force
into the attack directed against Bag
dad region. Here they have occupied
the Rowanduz region. which lies some
12O miles north Of Kaer-I-Shirin, where
they were last reported to be operating.
This would place the Russian troops at
points about 220 miles north and l20
miles northeast Of Bagdad.
