sEvEN-YEAR-oLD HERO
James Packard Of White River juno.
tion Awarded Medal.

White River Junction. Feb. S--The
Ralston, Purina hero commission of
St. Louis, Mo-, has awarded to James
Packard Of this village seven years
old, medal for brewery and courage.
The medal, which is of dull bronze,
is inscribed:
Hero medal awarded to James S.
Packard for service to others, March
30, 1885,
The medal is beautiful in shape and
engraving and the youngster is very
proud in its possession.
Nearly two years ago, James and
his brother, Alfred. were playing on
the bank of the White river near
Bridge street. There is a steep bank
at this point and Alfred, unnoticed by
his brother, slipped down the bank
and fell into the river. When James
missed his brother a moment later
he Immediately guessed what had hap
pened and hurrying to the river bank
saw bubbles arising where the boy
had gone down.
Instead of running for help he wait
ed until the body arose for the sec
ond time, grasped the drowning boy
by the hand and, bracing his feet, sue
ceeded in pulling the body onto the
bank.
What makes the feat more remark.
able is the fact that James is a year
younger than the boy he rescued.

Li-E CONVICT AT FUNERAL
Frank Shaw Attends Services for
Sen. w. !. Kendall, His Benefactor

Windsor, Feb. 5.---Frank Shaw, who
is serving life sentence at the state
prison in this town, was among those
present today at the funeral of State
Senator Walter |. Kendall of West
Windsor, who died here at the home
of his son-in-law, G. d.. Barber. Mr..
Kendall had endeavored for several
years to obtain q pardon for Shaw
and Gov. Graham granted the CON
vict's request for permission to at
tend the funeral of his benefactsr.
Shaw was sent from the prison under
guard. The man was sentenced for
the shooting of DR., Hoffman many
years ago, the doctor being a mem
ber of posse which was searching
for Shaw who had escaped from jail,
having committed a minor offense.
He was sentenced to be hung, but the
sentence was later commuted to life
Imprisonment.
Prayers for Senator Kendall were
said at the house and the funeral was
held at the Methodist church at
Brownsville.
Among those present were Senators
II. Il. Taylor of Springfield, Senator
Cady OF Bethel and Senator Wheeler

NEW YORK HARB0R
TO Be PROTECTED
BY WIRE NETS
Precautions Being Taken to Guard
Against Submarine Attacks
CHANNELS Clio Ed At NIGHT
Screen viii Be Heavy Enough to Bar
Port Entrances to Largest
undersea Boats.

New York, Feb. 10.-One of the hur-
ried measures now being taken to pro-
tect New York Harbor from subma-
rine attacks in case of war is the con-
struction of heavy wire net which
will begin today In the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, ON board OF the old moni-
tor Amphytrite.
The net, which will be lowered
across the channels entering this
harbor and kept in position after
nightfall when submarines cannot be
detected by special methods of obser-
vation, will be similar to those which
have been used in English harbors
to keep submarines from preying on
ships riding at anchor.
The heavy wire for the net was OBJ
tanned several weeks ago. More than
two miles of netting will be used. 1t
will be stretched between Sandy
Hook and Rockaway Point, crossing
the three channels-the Swash, the
Old Main Ship Channel and the Am
brose Channel.
No details have been made public
about the weight OF the netting used
by the Navy Department or about the
size of the meshes, but II Is said that
the net is strong enough to bar en-
trance to the harbor to undersea
boats OF any type yet known.

American Liners Held up by Instruc.
tions From Washington.
New York. Feb. S.--Sailing of the
American line steamships St Louis
and ST. Paul, now in the port of New
York, has been indefinitely postponed,
1t was anrourcsd last night by p. A.
s. FranEsiin, president of the Interna-
tionaI Mercantile marine. The an
nouncement followed an official state
ment received by telephone from the
state department at Washington de.
clining to advise private persons as to
whether or not their ships should
start on voyages which would take
them within the war zones laid down
by Germany. The state department
pointed out, however, that neutral
vessels may arm themselves for de-
Tense IL the owners SO elect and that
IT is the right of an American vessel
to traverse any part of the high seas.
After receiving the message from
Washington. MIR. Franklin issued the
following statement: THE American
line announces that the sailing dates
of the steamers st. Louis and st.
Paul. now in the port of New York,
have been indefinitely postponed The
following message was received today
by telephone from Secretary of State
Lansing: The government cannot
give advice to private persons as to
whether or not their merchant vessels
should said on voyage to European
ports by which they would be COM
PEELED to pass through the water
delineated in the declaration issued
by the German government on Janu-
airy 81, 1917.
1t, however, asserts that the
rights of American vessels to tray
erse all parts of the high seas are
the same now as they were prior to
the issuance of the German declara.
ton and that a neutral merchant ves-
sci may, IL its owners believe that il
is liable to be unlawfully attacked,
take any necessary measures to pre-
vent or resent such attacks.
The American line officers have
now taken under consideration wheth
er to sail their steamers within pro-
hibited waters or whether 1t is their
duty to provide guns and gunners on
their own account"

RESIDENT WILL.
NOT ASK FOR WAR
DECLARATION
Authority to Protect american
Rights Will First Be Sought
ISSUE THEN WITH GERMANY
Hostile Action by U. S. Must Be
Forced by interference on Part
of Teutons.

Washington. Feb. 10.--The course
to be taken by the United States, if
Germany compels the use of force to
safeguard American lives and rights,
has been deteVnined. II was learned
authoritatively after yesterdays cab
met meeting, that in the event Presi-
dent Wilson goes before Congress
again, it will not be to ask for dec
laration of war, but to follow literally
the words of the address in which he
announced the break of diplomatic
relations, and request authority TO use
means deemed best to protect Ameri-
can seaman and people.
The president, 1t was stated, is as
anxious as ever that American citi-
ems and ships shall be free to travel
the high seas unmolested. His next
step, IL taken, will be to enforce that
right, and even then the issue of war
or peace will be with Germany. Any
hostile action will have to come in the
from of an interference with an Amer
lean right. Details of the govern
ment's plans are not discussed. 1t is
known, however, that conveying and
arIning of merchant ships are being
considered
No new development came yester-
day to indicate that the overt act by
Germany, regarded as inevitable, was
nearer at hand. Fewer reports of
ships sunk came in, and none told Of
ficially of the loss OF an American life.
Further information received about
George Washington, the negro fire.
man lost on the Turinn. indicated that
he probably was British subject.

RUSSIAN APPRECIATION
Petrograd Foreign Office Gives State
ment 70 Associated Press.


Petrograd. Feb. 3, (via London -
The Foreign Office has given the fol-
lowing statement to The Associated
Press in regard to the action of the
United States in terminating diploma
tic relations with Germany:
The decision of the government OF
the United States to severe relations
with nation which has persisted in
the violation and perversion of all the
laws of warfare has produced deep
impression in Russia. We felt assured
in advance that the United States
would not tolerate this last threat OF
Germany. but we are none the less ap-
preciatiye OF the prompt and decisive
manner in which President Wilson
has shown his disapproval of Ger
many's mad submarine program and
his reluctance to continue on friend
ly terms with nation which ignores
the first principles of civilization and
humanity.
Whatever may be the further con-
sequences of the present diplomatic
rupture. Germany at least has been
shown that continuance of her past
methods will meet the open hostility
of the civilized world. 1t is impossible
for any of the warning nations. how
ever confident in the Justice of the
couse for which they are fighting, to
remain insensible to the approval or
disapproval of great neutral power

The witness declared that unless a

Mr.. Smith said he did not think
the producers could pay state tax.
Edwin Thanhauser, another witness,

it as his belief that the majority of
manufacturers are losing money and
many large distributors are now sail

POPE AND ALFONSO
: ',-OPERAI|NGIO
PREVENT WAR
His Holiness and 'panish Monarch
Are Working Together
HOPE TO INFLUENCE NEUTRALS
Endeavoring to Secure Some Restric-
tion from Germany in Carrying
on Her Submarine Warfare.

Rome, Feb. 9.--It Is believed that
the Pope and King Alfonso of Spain
are working together in the hope OF
preventing war between the United
States and Germany and also of safe
guarding other neutrals by prevailing
upon Germany to curtail her subma-
rine warfare.
On Saturday evening, February 2,
when the representatives of the Al
lies accredited to the Holy See in
formed the Papal Secretary of State,
Cardinal Gasparri, that a break be-
tween the United States and Germany
was inevitable, the news caused a
great sensation, though it was not un-
expected.
Cardinal Gasparri replied that the
Pope, while admitting that the situa-
tion was very complicated, had not
yet lost hope that war between the
United States and Germany of the
South American republics and pos
sibly of European neutrals, might be
averted
The King of Spain is now co-operat-
ing with the Pope, who is using his
authority and influence toward dis
suading all neutrals both in Europe
and on the American continent, from
declaring war upon the Central Pow
ers.
The prevailing conviction in Vati-
can circles is that the Kaiser can be
persuaded to modify the submarine
biackade in such way as to safe
guard the rights Of neutrals by quar-
anteeing that their ships carrying car
goes to ports of the Allies will not be
sunk without warning.

swEcEN STAYS OUT
VIII Not Follow U. S. In Break with
Germany.


Washington. Feb 9.--The Swedish
government rejects President VIII
sons suggestion that other neutral
countries Join with the United States
In ssyering diplomatic relations with
Germany, and declares its intention
to follow the strictest neutrality so
long as 1t Is possible. Sweden's reply
was delivered to the American minis
ter at Stockholm yesterday.
"The government of the United
States has chosen as means of ar
irving at the realization of peace
method absolutely contrary to the
principles which have guided the pol
ICY of the Swedish government up to
the present hour
So declares the Swedish note,
X. A. Wallenberg. delivered to the
American minister, Ira Nelson Nor
ris, in reply to President Wilson's in
vitation.
Spains note, which. 1t lis under
stood, formally declines to accept
President Wilson's suggestion that
she break off diplomatic relations
with Germany, was received at Wash
ington yesterday at the state depart
ment, but was not made public. Spain
it is understood, protests vigorously
against the new submarine order as
a violation of international law and
an invasion of neutral interests.
Having taken over American inter-
ests in Germany and being the best
equipped, automatically, of the re-
naming neutrals. Spain Is anxious to
keep open communication with Ber-
lin as the best channel for negotia-
tions between the central empires and
the entente.
Spain made an arrangement some
time ago with Germany for the safe
passage of enough of her merchant
vessels to prevent commercial panic
within the country, But Germany has
withdrawn that arrangement with the
understanding that ships now bound
for England shall return at their own
peril. Spain is entirely dependent on
Spanish vessels instead of other neu-
trail vessels and has demanded ex-
emption on the ground that she has
never carried munitions of war.
The Netherlands government,
through the American legation at The
Hague has formally declined to ac.
cept President Wilson's suggestion
I.that it follow the course of the Unit.
ed States and break off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany. Information
| to this effect reached Washington
yesterday in confidential dispatches
| from Holland.
1t was also said in the dispatches
that the Netherlands government
had made a protest against unrestrict
ed submarine warfare and that at the
same time negotiations had been op
ened with Great Britain for the re
duction of its mine field. The Dutch
| government plans to have the British
| field and the German danger zone
which now overlap each other, so con
tracted as to make clear path
through which its ships may pass

sonbe Than Men But Absolutely Unexced Une
tIs Sometimes Claimed That Women Are More Unreasonable Than
The Braue at Home

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembes,
The while beneath her drooping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story
Her heart has shed drop as dear
AS eer bedewed the field of glory
The wife who grds her hu bands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him RATE
Hath shed sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle!
The mother who conceas her grief
While to her breast her she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
Kissing the patriot brow she esses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her
Sheds holy blood as eer the sod
Received on Freedoms field ofhonor!
