NEWTON CHURCH BURNED.
Congress ationalists Lose Edifice anc
New Pipe Organ.

Newton, Jan. l6.-The Newton Con-
gregational church is in ashes. A fire
of unknown origin was discovered at
11:15 Sunday night and within two
hours the splendid structure had been
Quilted by the flames and all that re-
manned Of the building was made up
of four walls and the bell tower that
had been stripped of everything which
could be consumed by fire. The loss
is estimated at $4,000, including the
new pipe organ, installed little more
than two years ago at cost OF s3,S00,
and extensive improvements 10 the in
terror and exterior.
The fire started in the furnace room.
All theories as to the cause are spec
ulative as no one saw the fire until the
entire basement was in flames.

CREAMERY soosrs PRICES.
Farmers Show Apprseistion by Selling
Surplus Cream.

Surplus Cream.
The Glenwood Creamery Association
was not organized primarily to make
hig money for its Stockholders dirent
from it's operations, but rather to en-
courage dairying within its neighbour
hood as profitable branch of farm in
dustry. When it was organized the
only outlet for cream was TO distant
buyers. and they were rather careless
as to what they paid for 1t. The eff
feet Of the creamery upon the price
was emphasized by the fact that on
- he .,..1-
side buyers boosted their price 3 cents
a pound 1t Is a fair presumption,
therefore, to assume that the cream
produced In this territory whether
sold to the creamery or shipped away
has brought an average OF 3 cents
pound more than 1t would have
brought II the creamy had not been
established here, IL
The company held their annual

CHOULD the severance Of diplomatic
- relations between the United States
and Germany lead to declaration OF
war, the Central Powers would face the
mightiest, in manv respects, OF all
their powerful opponents. The popula-
ton of the United States, with its
colonial possessions, is nearly as large
as the combined population of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary.
The balance Of power now held By
the neutrals mostly affected by Ger
many's latest move is enormous. The
population of the United States, Spain,
Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile, including
colonial possessions, is 227,O0O,OOo.
Their combined area is nearly three
times as large as the combined area Of
the Central Powers.
The entrance OF these powers into
the war would spread the war over
three-fourths of the worlds land area.
The entrance of the United States alone
would add to the resources of the AL
lies a nation whose stock of gold is as
large as the combined gold reserve Of
France, Russia and the United King
dom. The gold stock of the Central
Powers is only about two-ffths Of
Americas gold money.
Still more striking are the figures
Of this country's iron and copper pro-
duction. The United States produces

living Of the United States were ;tead-
ily reduced to the standard of living OF
China. And this monotony is only va
red By the announcements of the loss
OF husbands and sons, or by cold spells
of fear for the safety of husbands and
sons in the field.
Public Opinion Drives Leaders
An overwhelming demand that the
war be brought TO an end, that this
condition should not be allowed 20 go
on and on indefinitely, is the mental
state Of the people that will force the
German leaders to make utmost use
Of every weapon at their command. De-
spite voluminous German comment to
the contrary, the Entente leaders are
in firm control Of the course of the
war. The Germans have no plan of &C
ton for forcing the war TO a conclu-
sion. Each successful campaign that
they undertake is followed by length
ening of the Entente ring, with no ap-
preciable progress toward definite VIC
tory. For Germany the war has re-
solved itself into the most tedious OF
all exertions, that of holding on"
Indefinite endurance is a test that
wears down all but the stoutest hearts
in time. even though there remain am
pie strength and energy TO 20 on.
There remained to Germany one
campaign with the definite goal of vic
tory at its end. That was the subma-
rine campaign. Its plan is as simple
and as conclusive as was the plan OF
the German army when it first marched
against France. England is to be
starved into submission; France is TO
be deprived of iron ores, and Italy is
10 be shut off from coal. IL this can
be accomplished, the power Of the En-

Berlin, Feb. 3.-The German note 4.
the United States and the announce

fare Is approved in Germany gencrally
as an expression OF the utmost resolu.
ton and the greatest sternness.
The Chanccllor's argument tina, IN,

tempting TO end the war b. agreement

Of her arms as the means Of bringing
peace most speedily--is acknowledged
as true.
Circles which formerly declined to
agree with the policy of unrestric,ed
submarine warfare now are in favor Of
it. The confidence in the govenmen,
and military leaders, whose conscien.
tiousness is always respected, is un.'
bounded.
Wants Americas Friendship
The rejection OF the German peace
proposals and the American peace note
by the Entente is regarded AS undoub,.
ed proof that the Entente does no,
wish peace until the Central Powers
are crushed and mutllateG. The sub
marine war. therefore, IS regarded az
the last and bitterest part OF Ger
many's struggle for life against the
brutal ambitions Of the enemy.
/ The overwhelming opinion is tia.
/ Germany is still disposed to-day to On
equal peace and wishes 10 continue
friendly relations with America and
/ other neutrals, and feels that they
understand her peculiar position.

Hope L. S. VIII Understand
The question of what influence unre-
etricted submarine warfare would have
upon American minds and upon rels'
tions with the United States played an
important part in the discussion. Rep.
resentatiyes of the government, as well
as those of tie various parties, ex'
pressed the hope that the United States
would appreciate fully the reasons io'
Germany's determination.
"The use of submarines the Over

of inclining Germany's enemies toward

tries Of the world combined. The Cen
trail Powers pig iron production is
equivalent to tbree-eighths OF TINS
country's production. Great Britain
France and Russia combined produce
only a little more than half OF the
amount produced by America.
The United States also holds the
commanding position in regard to cop,

States produced twice as much copper
as the rest Of the world. The proper
ton Of the Central Powers production
of copper to that of the United States
is one to twenty-four. Great Britain,
