LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Mr. Editor:
A private letter received lately from
Mrs. Simonds SO well expresses our
feeling at the loss of Mrs. Chas. Bell
who has so recently left us, that ]
copy it in part, for publication, know
ing that others beside myself will be
glad to read the words of appreciation
which she writes.
Il have just read Of the release from
suffering and tedious waiting of our
dear Mrs. Bell 1t makes me very sad
to think of her as gone out Of the
visible circle of our life long church
friends. She too has joined that
great cloud of witnesses which
assemblies every Wednesday and Sun
day night in our little vestry to share
our evening devotions! ] missed her
vary much from her pew on Sunday
morning during the summer. She was
a strong, faithful, earnest woman,
very capable and useful; so greatly
missed and mourned in the church and
town; always faithful and conscien-
tious, and full Of a worthy ambition"
Much might be added to these

MEMORIAL CHALICE

Two years since the Misses Hoyt
became interested in the purchase of
suitable memorial for Edward Will
liams, whose untimely death that sum-
mer is well remembered. The young
man had been altar boy at st. Paul's
Church for years and it was felt that
a memorial should be procured that
would be a reminder of his faithful
work there. In October, 1915, we
printed list Of those who had con-
tributed to the fund to purchase bap-
tismal font, but it was afterward de-
cided to procure chalice. Since then
there have been several additional
donors, a list of which we append:
Miss Jenkins, Miss Kate Congdon,
Rev. FIR. Kelly, Mrs. r. T. Lincoln,
Mrs. Charles Isham, Rev. FIR. Thomp-
son, In memory of George Orvis, Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Martin, Patrick Car
roll, Mrs. Mary y. Robbins, Thomas
Brooks, Brothers and Sisters. The
chalice, beautiful solid gold one, ar
rived some time since and was on ex-
hibition at the church a couple of
Sundays ago. 1t is a very beautiful
piece of work, standing about 10
inches in height and exquisitely
wrought with symbolic designs and is
engraved The memorial was
made in Baltimore by Jenkins & Jen-
kins, goldsmiths.

f. L. Gresser,-fireman; lacerations about
Lillard Levi, Chicago, negro cook leg in
]: H. Phillips, negro cook; slightly
bruised.
Seven persons were injured, some
painfully but not critically; half
dozen freight cars were partially
wrecked or damaged and three pas
senger cars were sent to the shops
for repairs Wednesday night shortly
after 10 o'clock, when eastbound Rock
Island passenger train No. slid thru
an open switch and onto the south
freight siding in the Topeka yards.
The passenger train bumped into
string of freight cars on the sidet-ack
Several of the latter were derailed,
twisted crossways and thrown from
their trucks.
Cochenour, the conductor on No. 2,
and who was standing on the rear
end of the observation car, stuck to
his post when he realized that the
train had hit the open switch and at
tempted to shut on the air. He was
caught between his train and the
string of freight cars and in the i'm
pact his right leg was broken and his
elbow was dislocated. He was rushed
to the Stormont hospital as were four
others OF the injured. This morning
he was reported to be resting easy.
Mrs. Hill Cook and Cottle. both
passengers in the sleepers, were
among those taken to Stormont. They
were hurt, officials of the road said
this morning, by the impact of the
collision. The two cooks were in their
kitchens on the diner and were caught
in hail of flying culinary imple-
ments. Levi was taken to Stormont
hospital &where it is unknown as yet
whether his leg is fractured or just
badly bruised. Phillips was not in
jured to amount to anything and con-
tinued his run to Kansas City. Gres-
ser, the fireman, was cut about the
face but not seriously. He also con-
tinued his run.
The open switch, it is evident, was
left in it's position thru carelessness of
some employe. George Hetherington,
trainmaster here, said this morning
that he hasn't learned definitely Just
who was responsible for the accident
A wrecker was summoned here and
this morning a crew was cleaning up
the debris. One of the freight cars
hit was a refrigerator car, contain
ing ice mostly. The frozen substance
formed a scattered exhibit of the tan
gle in the wards this morning.

But "Camouflage" 1t by Threats
Against Kaiser Bill.
Would Inspire Germans $40
Overthrow Their Rulers"
FOR 3 MO. CESSATION OF WAR
New Russ Govt Would Give
Huns Rest They Need.
Peace Policy Reads Practically
Same as Germany's.

Petrograd, Nov. 22.-The formal Of
fer of an armistice to all the helliger-
ents which the council of peoples
commissaries of the all-Russian
workmen's and soldiers congress pro-
poses to make shortly is not intended
to forecast any effort towards sep
arate peace
on the contrary, it is declared defi-
nitely here that not only is separate
peace not desired but that the rejec-
ton of the armistice proposal by Ger
many, even should it be acceptable to
the allies, would mean a continuation
of the war by the new revolutionary
army with Vigor against German i'm
periaIism until the German people,
''inspired by Russian democratic
ideas" overthrow their rulers and de-
mand peace. Confidence is expressed
here, however, that Russias initiative
will bring the desired results-if not
the insistence of the people of the al
lied countries who, it is predicted, will
bring pressure to bear on their gov
ernments.
According to the Maximalist gov
ernment plan an armiStice will be en-
tered upon first and if it were sue
cessful three months, it is proposed to
assemble a peace conference at which
an attempt would be made to nego-
tate RuSSia's policy of peace without
anneXations or indemnities and the
self determinations of the nations.
Refused to Carry Out Order.
London, Nov. 22.-An official wire
less statement from Petrograd says
that General Dukhonin has been de-
posed by the council of the people s
commissaries for Refusing to obey
their orders by offering an armistice.' -
The Russian government yesterday
ordered General Dukhonin, the COM
mander-in-chief, to open negotiations
for an armistice with the commanders
of the enemy armies. The proposal
ito negotiate peace was officially con-
veyed to the ambassadors of the al
lied nations at Petrograd.
