PACIFIST PASTOR OUT.
Rev. Clarence H. Waldron of Windsor Is
Said to Have Resigned.

| Windsor. Nov 23.-Rev. Clarence II.
Waldron, Windsor's pacifist pastor, last
night severed his connection with the To-
cal Baptist church, the officials of the
church society announcing that he had
resigned" That the state Baptist con-
yention had something to do with the
resignation and the acceptance thereof
by the church society was evidenced by
the fact that Henry H. Bond of Brattle-
boro, president of the state convention,
former Gov. w. W. Stickney of Ludlow,
president of the board of trustees of the
convention, and Rev. DR.. w. A. Dawson
of Burlington, the secretary, were pres
ent at the church meeting last evening
and it is Understood that each of the
three had something to say about loyalty
to the president and patriotism.
Weight was added to the counsel Of
the convention officials inasmuch as that
organization gives financial aid to the
Windsor church to the amount of about
S400 yearly.
When the vote was taken the resigna
ton, which read ''to take effect at once"
was accepted although the vote disclosed
that Rev Waldron's pacifist ideas have
some adherents.
1t was also voted to pay the pastor
his salary to Jan. |, next, that he may
have time to search for new job.
In the course of his address before
the church members former Governor
Stickney stated that the Baptist denom-
ination stood squarely back of President
Wilson and wished to do all in its power
to aid this government and its allies dur
ing the war.

CONFESSES HE SET BOMB.
Naturalized German Claims He Resented
Treatment as Postal Employe.

Chicago, Nov. 23.--Reinhold A. Faust
naturalized German, last night CON
fessed to Chief of Police Schuettler that
he placed bomb in the Auditorium the
Iatre last Friday during grand opera
performance The crudely constructed
bomb did not explode, but its discovery
caused much confusion among the audi
ence. Faust, who was formerly post
office clerk, also admitted, the police said,
that he had written blackmailing letters
to James B. Forgan and Frank O'Wet
more, chairman of the board and presi-
dent, respectively, of the First National
bank of Chicago.
Faust said he hated the government
not because it was at war with his ma
tive land, but because of treatment he
had received while postal employe for
ten years. He said he wanted only to
alarm wealthy persons so that they
would heed his blackmailing letters.
AT Fausts home, the police found nj
troglycerine, gunpowder, powdered dyna-
mite, and other explosives, as well as
another bomb similar to the one placed
in the Auditorium.
He was captured as a result of his let.
ters to the bankers.

Rome, Nov. ga great encircling at
tack was attempted yesterday by the
Austro German forces against Monte
Meletta, but the Italians held all the po.
sitions, it was officially announced to.
day. Throughout yesterday the Teutons
attacked the Italian positions between
the Brenta and Piave rivers. Several
positions were lost more than once, the
statement adds. but all were retaken.
Towards evening last Italian counter
attack definitely stopped the Austro-
Germans.

vance that the successive rivers inter-
posed before the Piave was reached.
Before the enemy looms snow capped

would be really formidable obstruc-

The fighting between the Piave and
Brenta rivers, while heavy, brought no
change in the positions of the
forces.

WEST POINT APPOINTMENT
Comes to Sergt Clarence Geddes, Barre
Man

Promotion to West Point has come to
Barre boy, according to word received
by Mr. and Mrs. James Geddes of l64
Washington street, who are advised that
their son, Sergeant Clarence Geddes, is
one of the three Vermonters recently
stationed at Camp Bartlett, Westfeld,
Mass, to be selected for appointment to
the military academy. Inasmuch as the
young man is minor some of the papers
to be signed before he enrolls have been
forwarded to his parents here. II is un-
derstood that Sergeant Geddes' appoint
ment comes within the comparatively re-
cent ruling whereby a certain number
of young soldiers from the regular army
are advanced TO West Point each year
Recommendations are made on merit by
the regimental officers and parents of
Sergeant Geddes learn that he has passed
the physical examination already. He
viii submit to other examinations just
before enrolment in January and in the
interim he expects to enjoy furlough at
home.
Sergeant Geddes was a private in the
Headquarters company of the lst Yer
mont regiment when the war broke out.
He was student at Goddard seminary
in his fourth year when he Joined up"
with the Barre company last spring. Not
long after the company left Barre he was
made a sergeant and for several months
has been stationed at Camp Bartlett.

Complaint against the defendant grew
out of a disclosure made by Cadet Rus
sell A. Wentworth, Norwich university
student and minor, who, after his ar
rest for intoxication, told of buying liq-
uor over the bar and by the bottle in
the Merchant street saloon.
Four other Norwich students were sub
pnnaed to the hearing and a number of
local people were present to testify in
behalf of the defendant. The khaki-elad
cadets added a touch of color to the set :
ting, but during the hearing it developed
that none of them wore uniforms when
visiting local saloons. 1t was nearly II
o'clock before the hearing got under way
and when recess was taken at noon only
two witnesses had been examined. The
hearing was resumed this afternoon at
l;l5 o'clock, with Cadet John L. Ray
mond testifying in direct examination.
All five students were sworn as wit
nesses, but the bulk of the testimony
against the saloon keeper was furnished
by Wentworth The latter testified that
he and some of his companions visited
Barre on three Saturdays in November,
exceptions were taken by the
defendant TO any testimony relating to
one of the visits on the ground that the
specified only two dates. Ca
det Wentworth's statements on the stand
