ed sovereignty over Finland estab- lished by the condemned government of the czar's.
 How the Russian leaders can rec oncile such an attitude with the pro- fessed princlples of individual free dom espouscd by the new government at the time of its inauguration Is not quite cicrr. To all appearances the so-called republican government has already placed itself in the somewhat anomalous position of denying the very principles which itself eaffirms as the primary object of hts being.
 By refusing political freedom to Finland, Russia is not only going on record as opposed to granting to others that which she insists upon as her individual right, but it also plac- ing herself m a most unenviable light before the world; which has given gen. erous applause to the efforts of the levathian empire to free itself from the tolls of political bondage and autocratic domination.
 When Russia broke the shackles which so long bound her, with few exceptions, all nations and peoples rcjoiced in her new won freedom. And when she stood before the world clothed in the robes of liberty pro- claiming that the principles of re- republican government and the right of the individual to say how and by whom he shall be ruled, the echoes of her voice touched a vibrant chord in the heart of all humanity.
 Yet, now, if we are to judge by what we see, the pure aspirations, the lofty motives voiced by her leaders were moro empty phrases uttered in a time of crisis to still the rage of gloweltng freedom mad multitude which could not otherwise be brought under control and Russ,a, although re- generated and clothed in new gar ments, still retains much of that old spirit of domination and tyranny which for ages has been the curse of humanity. Only by granting the prayer of the Finnish people for free dom can the new Russia hope to re- tain the regard of those who love the rtme of freedom and hold as sacred The right of human kind to liberty | md the pursuit Of happiness.

NOME, AtA2kA AUGi q. 1917.

The action of the Russian govern ment in refusing to permit the con- vocation of the Finnish parliament is singularly suggestive of the methods of that older form of government which Russia was supposed to have discarded along with her quandom outocratic ruler in favor of an admin isration based upon the broader prin- ciple of human rights and personal liberties.
 AS is generally well known, the Finnish parliament recently passed a resolution which virtually amounted to a declaration of independence. In general terms, this interesting his torical document declared that Fin land has progressed so far In political and cultural development that It's peo- pie are entitled to demand that the nation be allowed to undertake the duties and responsibilities of self government and to assume it's right ;ul place as an independant state. The measure constituted a practical rejection of the offer of the new re- publican government to include Fin land in the government of Russia under a new constitution drawn by the constitutional assembly.
 As we understand it, there was no expressed intention to completely cut the strings which have so long bound the Finnish nation to the great Moscovite empire.
 Rather it appeared the intention of the Finnish leaders to form a species of national coalition with Russia in tull harmony with the announced principles of the new government.
 Why Russia, as a republic espous- ing the freedom of its people as the cardinal principle of government, should assume that 1t has the right to maintain forcible suzereignty over an- other people is something rather diff ficult to fathom. Yet. there can be no other construction placed on the eff fort to forcibly suppress the activi- ties of the Finnish leaders toward securing the long denied and much coveted political Independence of the Finnish people.
 The forcible occupation of the par lament buildings at Helsingfors by Russian troops to prevent the assem- ply of the Finnish diet, coupled with the prompt denial of the Finnish claim to independence, following the passage of the resolution to second reading, caa have no other interpeta- ton than that the Russian govern . ment intends 10 maintain by force of arms, If necessary, the long continu-

MEAD WOULD HAVE
SUIT DISMISSED
Says Second Action for S5, 1000 Is Fully
Covered in First One-hn Interest
ing Side Light.

An answer to the county court suit
brought against Barney +. Mead by
Frank L. Wellman. administrator of
the estate Of Mrs. Catherine Stone of
brattleboro, to recover $4,000 for in
.iuries caused by the death of Mrs.
Stone, was filed today by Mr.. Mead S
attorneys, Chase & Chase. 1t asks that
the suit be dismissed, with costs to
the defendant, because of previous
suit making the same claims
After the accident in which Mrs.
Stone was fatally injured in Mr..
Mead's automobile near South Deer
field, Mass, at which time Mr.. Mead
was driving the car with Mrs. Stone as
one of the passengers, Mrs. Stone sued
Mr. Mead FOR $4,000 damages, through
Attorneys II. &. & F. L. Barber.
Later Mrs. Stone died and Mr.. Well
man as administrator, through the
Barber office, brought another suit for
the same amount and for the same
cause. The first suit was brought Nov.
%, 1916, and the second suit Jan. IS
of this year.
| Mr.. Mead S attorneys claim that the
first suit survived after Mrs. Stone IS
death and that anything the admins
traitor would be entitled to recover on
the second suit he would be entitled to
recover on the original suit, which
makes the second one unnecessary.
An interesting side light in this case
is that in the first suit only Mr. Mead s
body was attached. He was arrested
and furnished bail, D. p. Dewitt and
A. B. Clamp becoming sureties. In the
second suit six or seven automobiles
which Mr.. Mead had stored were at
tached One of them, which Mrs. Ad,
die i. Church of Spring street claimed
was her property, which she bought OF
Wilson Brothers, has been returned to
Mrs. Church on her demand.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Intensive fighting in the Champagne
regions, resulting favorably to the
French and the failure of a French at
tack at Hill No 304, northwest of Yer
dun, are reported in today's official state
ment. The Champagne attack, Paris de-
clarcs, was successful. 1t was aimed to
reduce the salient at Maisons de Cham
pagne, created by a successful German
attack in February. 1t resulted, says the
Paris report, in the destruction of Ger
man positions ON front of more than
100 yards and approximately from 600
to 500 yards in depth.
Berlin announces the penetration Of
German trench in this attack, but asserts
the recovery of important dominating
points, conceding that the French re
tanned possession of some of the ground

RULE Is
STRONGLY FAVORED
Vote by the Senate Was rs to 3-Sher-
man, Gronna and LaTollette
in Opposition.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Woodrow
Wilson has succeeded in doing in nine
ythree hours what it took the senate
tself ninety-three years to do.
At 8 O'Clock Sunday night, on the
We of his second Inauguration as Pres.
-trnr- of the United States, Mr.. Wilson
ssued 2 statement condemning the an.
lent filibuster permitted by the rules
f the senate and demanding the adop-
ion of some form of reasonable clo-
ure. At 5.54 clock last night, nine
v-three hours later, the senate of the
United States, by vote of 76 to 3,
east the rule permitting unlimited dis
eussion of legislation into the discard
md substituted for it cloture rule
whereby, on vote of two-thirds OF the
members, debate can be limited to q
maximum of ninety six hours, or one
our for each member of the senate
This achievement compelled by the
lefeat of the armed neutrality bill by
q little group of wilful men," by re
'ort to the filibuster, is hailed as one
Of the most progressive steps ever tax
en by congress.
The three senators voting in the
legative were Sherman, Gronna and
'4aFollette. Senator Page of Vermont
voted with the majority. Senator Dill
ingham was one of several senators
ecorded as absent and not voting.

Washington Learns of Installation of
Wireless That Has Dangerous
Possibilities.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Informa
tion has reached the United States gov
ernment from a semioflicial source tina,
through the perfection of a powerful
wireless telegraph plant in Mexico
CITY direct communication between the
Mexican capital and Germany has been
established.
Officials realize that, if confirmed
this news is of great Importance and
an investigation has been ordered.
Through the connection b. Mexico City
with the land telegraphs leading into
the United States, Germany would be
able to secure complete exemption
from the censorship which is now i'm
posed upon its communications hv the
American government at the wireless
stations at SayvilIc and Tuckcrton and
by the British and French governments
in their control of the Atlantic cables.
Far reaching possibilities thus would
be opened for the violation Of Ameri-
can neutrality or even the menacing
Of the national safety in the critical
situation existing. Sea raiders and
submarines might be directed, and full
information concerning the departure
Of ships from American ports furnished
German agents in this country might
keep in close touch with Berlin. and il
case OF war even more serious results
might follow.
From other semiofiical sources in
formation has reached Washington
that secret meetings are being held by
Germans in Vera Cruz and in Monterey
to determine upon uniform action by
Germans in Mexico in the~event of al
outbreak Of war between the Unite,
! States and Germany.

American Realty Company
to Drive Pulp Wood in
High Water
MILL MAY BE BUILT
IN THIS LOCALITY
Tributaries-Those Who Know Vaga-
ries of Stream Subsidiary
of International Paper Co.

In connection with extensive lumber
ing operations which are being carried on
in the West River valley the American
Realty company, a subsidiary of the In
ternational Paper company, is building
at the mouth of West river in this town
a series of cribs and booms to stop and
hold the pulpwood which it is planned to
drive down the stream this spring.
Whether this wood will be loaded on
cars at this point and shipped elsewhere
depends on whether or not it is decided
to erect a mill in the vicinity of Brattle
boro. 1t has been rumored for some time
that mill would be built either just
south of Brattleboro on the Vermont
side of the Connecticut or on the Liscom
farm on the New Hampshire side of the
river. Nothing definite, however, has yet
been announced
| The American Realty Co., it is under
stood, plans to drive the pulpwood it is
now cutting down several of the tributa-
ries to West river, among them the Will
Evansville branch, Turkey Mountain

stream which flows through Jamaica vii
lage from the west. In view of the ma
ture of these streams the drive will ha e
to be made on the spring flood, and the
company will also have to take adytn-
rage OF high water conditions Oh 5he
West river in order to. get its product>to
Brattleboro economically.
Residents of the West River valley
who are familiar with the actions of the
streams in that region look askance on
the proposition to get pulpwood down
them safely. Some of them say that the
nature of the smaller streams will make
driving them impossible, while others
contend that in order to get pulpwood
down these water courses during the
freshet period it will be necessary to use
quantities of dynamite and that this is
likely to cause serious damage. 1t is also
pointed out that the streams tributary
J to West river are likely to break up be-
: fore the river does and that in eonse-
quence the logs that come down them
, win be in danger of being carried away
!. when the ice in the river breaks up
However, the company that is planning
: the operation has no doubt given the sit
uation careful study and feels sure oi
t what it can accomplish.
