GERMAN PEACE
AGAIN TURNED
DOWN BY RUSSIA
Separate Agreement Imp"s-
sible, Declares Foreign Minis
Ter in Speech to Parliament

PETROGRAD. oct. Foreign
Minister Terestchenko in addressing
the preliminary Parliament YESTERDAY.
said separate pence was impossible,
and that defense of Russian territory
was one of the fundamental needs.
The Foreign Minister said the ali.
solutc independence of Courland, and
perhaps of Poland and Lithuania,
was impossible, as it would mean
that Russia would return to the days
before Peter. He also asserted COM
plete rehabilitation and dlsarma-
ment, and naturalization Of canals
and straits were impossible.
Russia's foreign policy had not
changed. the Minister continued
since the first statement cnun ciating
the principles OF no indemnltics. no
anncxations and the right of nations
to sclf-definition.
"The people must understand that
the war is being carried on not by
Governments but by nations" he
added. "As the nations began the
hghting so they must end it. Russia
and France first held back the foes.
and so they continue.
There is a rumor the Allies wished
to leave Russia to her fate, but /
state officially that it is untrue.
"Germany's aim is TO separate Rus
sia from the Allies. and. il possible.
to do this by peaceful means. in order
to use Russia economically after
ward. | am confident Germany was
insinccre in the reported recent offer
for the freedom Of Belgium. wtthou.
the freedom OF Alsace- Lorraine, and
in the intimation that this would be
her last offer. She will make more.
"Gcrmany's attack on Riga was not
strategical, but in pursuance of a far
sighted policy of striking at our weak
est point hoping to ruin the econom lc
life OF the country. Too much i'm
portancc must not be given to to o-day's
Italian defeat. as this also is for mere
economic effect"
NJ. Tercstchenko's speech was
cheered throughout by the Consorva-
tives, but he was heCkled more than
applauded by the Bolshcviki. The
American, British and Italian Ambas-
sadors were present when the speech
was delivered.

Hartland. Me, Dec. G.-One Of the mos,
notable events to occur in fiartland for
a long time was celebrated here Christ
mas eve in Grange hall when Mr.. AMI
Mrs. Harrison Randlett. prominent res,
dents of the community, celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary. Invitations
numbering aboue 100 were issued and the
hours were spent socially, 4 large num-
Eer of people Offering fluctuations and
we'll wishes. Nuptial refreshments wer,
served and the affair in all details passed
off as merrily as a wedding bell.
Much of the early history Of Hartland
centers around the ancestry of Mrs
Randlett as her grandfather, James Ful-
ler, born in 1857, died in 1915, was the first
permanent settler of the town. lie came
from Exeter, n. H., probably earlier than
1902 and for years ran the tavern at Flu
ler's Corner on the old county road from
N~orridgeWoCk to Bangor. This hostclry.
let 1t be mentioned. had the reputation Of
being one of the few prohibition public
houses in Maine at that time. When Mr..
Fuller came the region was an utter will
derness with very few inhabitants for
many miles and it is related tina when
he was clearing his land he was obliged
to go nearly 10 miles to get his axe
ground. This first settler was twice mar
ried. his two wives being sisters. The
first was Rebecca Iancey who died in 1922
and the second was Elizabeth Lancey.
The second child of the first union was
Thomas, born in 1Si6 and he married
Laura Buttertield. who was also born in
the same year, the daughter of John But
terfield, another early settler of the town.
This couple became the parents of two
daughters, Ellen and Lizzie and the elder
of these children became the wife Of Har-
rison Randlett.

Industrial Accident

Chairman Eben F. Littlefeld of the
Maine Industrial Accident Commission,
Thursday rendered a decision in the case
of Mary Sherlock. dependent widow oc
John Sherlock. versus the Inhabitants OF
the city of Portland, denying compensa-
ton.
The petitioner prays that compensation
equal to one-half the weekly wage be
awarded for a period of 300 weeks for the
death of her husband. 1t was admitted
that the petitioner was the legal wife of
the deceased and the only question in dis
pute was whether 1t was a natural death
or due to an injury arising out of and in
the course Of his employment.
1t appears that on Jan. S, 1917, the de-
ceased with other employees was engaged
in loading rocks from a pile into carts,
that the rocks had to be loosened by
means Of a bar, as ice had formed which
held the pieces OF rock firmly together
and that the deceased was standing on
the pile working the rocks apart it'll an
iron bar, While working on rock and
standing some seven or eight feet from
the ground the deceased was seen TO pitch
orWar and fall.
The decision says in part:
The deceased had complained of hav-
Ing sharp pains through the chest during
the forenoon and also very shortly prior
to falling from the rock pile. There was
no evidence of the deceased having
slipped or that the rocks where he was
standing giving away to cause the fall
THE wound upon the forehead was very
slight and no other marks of violence
were found upon the body. The medica,
examiner t~estifies that death could not
have been caused by the fall or the
wound over the eye, but was due to a
or diseased condition of the in
ternal organs.
The commissioner is of the sopinion
that the deceased was death-struck when
he started to fall from the rock pile, and
that there was no accident arising out of
or in the course of the employment.
