Alighfing from trolley car on Barnum avenue, between Central and NH Hin avenues, with the intention of dropping 8 batch of Christmas cards and letters into mail box at the corner, Leonard Matherbe, of Park avenue, stratfcrd, started to cross the street in front of another car, at e:45 o'clock this morning, and was run over and killed outright.

 Members of the dead mans family were communicated with, their ad- dress being found in the envelopes in Matherbe's pockets, and they identi- fled the remains.

Washington, Dec. "A - Germany'S newest peace propaganda, viewed as a forerunner to an offensive in the west unless the German-made peace is accepted by the Allies and the Unitd States, should not for mo- ment induce us to slacken our pre- parations for war;" says Secretary Baker in his weekly review of the military situation.
 ''The Germans realize" continues the statement, that within short time our armies will form the prin- cipal body of fresh strategic reserves remaining available on the battle fields of Europe. $

Washington, Dec. 24-Censorship of foreign mail under the trading with the enemy law now is in full force under a committee on which the port office, war and navy departments, the war board and the commerce board are represented.
 The board plans to carry on the work with as little interference to legi- innate correspondence as is possible. The work of organization was begun on Nov. 1 and at the request of the government the news was not pulp lished at that time. The government now has withdrawn it's request for se- crecy.
 The board is in close cooperation with the British and French censor ship. It will combine with censorship of foreign mails the present censor ship of wireless and cables.

SHOOTS FRIEND AND STEALS $2; VICTIMS STORY

Bleeding profuse1y from three bull let wounds in his chest and back. William Bobetes, a Greek, living at IA Bank street, staggered up to the front door of Dr. E. H. J. Hennessey's home in sStratford, shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, and arousing the physician from his sleep, told him that he had been shot by a friend.
 Dr. Hennessey gave the man emer- gency treatment, and then took him in his own automobile to the Bridge port hospital, where Bobetes is now in a serious condition. His wounds are not dangerous, but it is feared that complications may set in, and there is doubt as to the mans recov- cry:
 Bobetes was able to give only a disconnected story of what had hap pened, telling that late last evening he had gone out with a friend, Will liam Armenes, for walk. Somehow they got far out into Stratford, he says, and there Armenes attacked him.
 He claims that Armenes fired three times with a 22 calibre revolver and that after the first shot struck him in the chest he turned and started to run. Armenes, he said. then fired the two other shots. which lodged in the fieshy portion of his back.
 Bobetes fell to the ground and while there his story goes, Armenes searched his clothing and robbed him of g, all the money he had about him. The assailant then lied. No trace of him has since been found.

 "It would appear that they are anx- ious to conclude their Italian adven- ture in a manner similar to the pre- vious campaigns in Russia, Serbia and Rumania, where, as a result of the strategic developments gained at relatively small cost, vast tracts of territory were conquered.

 Before proceeding with any op- erations in the west the Germans hope to drive the Italians across the Adige, anticipating that such a re- verse would have 8 very disintegrat- Ing influence throughout Italy.
 "It is apparent that the Germans have not given up all hope of bring ing about a, social upheaval in Italy as they did in Russia after their vic- torious campaigns of 1915.
