WILL CASE COMES TO END.

Hopkinton Leader.-Dr. H. Living
ston, administrator of the estate of
the late Archie Livingston, has re-
ceived word that the petition Of heirs
who brought action in the federal
court to break the will has been dis
missed. This action in the fedora!
court was the last resources of the
heirs to break the will of Archie
Livingston, who left his farm south
of Hopkinton. and several thousand
dollars in cash to Hopkinton college.
The history of the contest is pretty
we'll known. Heirs contested the will
on the ground that the testator was
not qualified to make the will, and
that undue pressure and influence had
been employed. The will was sus-
tanned in the district court. Then
heirs, with but little interest in the es-
late, living outside of the state, were
induced to bring action in the federal
court, and they likewise have been de-
MED and the will again sustained. This
will conclude further action on the
part of the contesting heirs, we under
stand, and the case will soon be dis
posed of in the district court with the
final report of the administrator. DR..
Livingston, and the property will be
turned over to Lenox college.

NEED GUNS TO BEAT FOE
Chicago Congressman Before Senate
Committee, Contradicts War De-
partment Testimony.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Guns and am
munition are wanted in Europe to de-
feat the Germans, Representative Nc
Cormick of Illinois told the senate af-
fairs committee investigating the war
departments conduct Of the war. His
statement fatty contradicts the testi-
mony Of General Crozier, chief of ord
nance of the army, who said that the
American army in France was supplied
with guns and ammunition, and that
there would be no shortage Of guns or
ammunition when the great American
army reached France.
Senator Frelinghuysen of the COM
mittee bluntly voiced his own opinion
when he declared that blunders had
been made in the war department.
Representative Mccormick, back re-
Gently from the European battle front,
told the committee that General Pc
tain had pleaded with him to urge the
United States to make guns and am
munition. France could not continue
to supply the American troops as they
arrived.
Mr.. Mccormick was invited before
the committee and was heard behind
closed doors.

THE GREATEST MENACE TO MAN.
KIND,

Last Friday evening the battle-scar-
red soldier, Captain Knyvett, narrated
to a Manchester audience the hideous
facts of so-called German frightful-
ness in manner that brought shud-
der to everyone who heard hin,
The Captain commented upon the
German attacks upon hospital sr'rs
the killing of wounded men. the bru,
talities to women, the cruelty to emil.
dren, the contempt for nations
pledged word, and showed that these
things were not accidental but that
each and every one was a part OF
the German policy of ruthlessness.
The spirit of evil responsible fol
this ruthlessness is a greater meance
to mankind than any or all OF the
crimes committed in it's name.
The teachings of the German au-
tocracy is the greatest menace tc
mankind at the present time. That
autocracy teaches that everything is
justifiable when performed for, or
by order of the state. Treacherous
and unprovoked war, murder, lying
and every crime recognized by man
kind, civilized or savage, is sanctioned
and condoned when a claim can be
made that it was performed in the
service of the state
The power responsible for such
teachings is what threatens the hu-
man race. That power is our deadly
foe and the deadly foe of ev-
cry country in which the people rule.
The American people are not fight
ing the German people as a people,
but the ruler of the German people,
who holds them in his insane grasp
and drives them to the commission
of acts that even satan himself would
not sanction. .

Steel INDUSTRY NIT
Two Big South Chicago Plants
May Close.
Suspend Part of Operations Because
OF Shortage of Coal-Three Thou
sand Men Affected.

Chicago, Dec 19-TwO big plants in
the South Chicago steel mill district
suspended part of their operations due
to the scarcity Of coal and coke, throw
ing approximately 5000 men out of
work. Officials of the plants blamed
the closing on the railroads inability,
or refusal, to deliver fuel.
The Illinois Steel company closed
down three Of its blast furnaces and
one Of it's railmills, employing about
1900 men, and the Wisconsin Steel
company closed two blast furnaces and
three merchant mills, employing a like
number Of men. The Wisconsin CON-
pany is now operating only one mer-
chant mill.
"Unless we get fuel in the next forty
eight hours" George Ross, superin-
tendent Of the company, said, 1--WE will
be forced to close down our plant en-
tirely."

AMERICA WAGES WAR AGAINST
EVIL.

Secretary Of Commerce Redfield
in recent address before the Scran-

'Out of the dust of the present strife
this same old terrible conflict reveals
itself to our thought. We fight not the
people called the German people, not
even the political entities known as
the central powers, so much as evil
enthroned among them as devils are
said to have done mankind of old We
hate no country; we hate no people,
Nay, to our enemies themselves we
wish no cruelty done. but the things
which have been wrought are hideous
and hateful and we shall not with
draw our hands till they are destroy

1928 Members Elected by Consumption
Forces in Canada-Draft Foes
Win 81 Seats.

Ottawa, Dec. 19.-Conscription has
been confirmed and the unionist gov
eminent has been returned to power
by the Canadian domestic vote. Re-
turns from all over Canada indicate
that the government Of Sir Robert Bor-
den has been elected to administer
Canadian affairs for another five years
and that Sir Wilfrid Lourier Is as
definitely defeated as in the reciprocity
election Of 1911.
Official returns showed that, with
sixteen districts to be heard from, the
unionists had won 1913 seats and the
opposition 81, with four seats deferred.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION WINS IN
HOUSE.

By vote of 2S2 yeas to 1913 noes
the resolution providing for national
prohibition was adopted by the House
last Monday afternoon. The victory
for nationwide prohibition was won
by the votes Of al democrats, 1877 re-
publicans and 4 Independents. The
resolution as passed by the Senate
last August differed from the House
resolution in only one respect. 1t gave
the states only six years in which to
ratify the amendment, while the House
extended the ratification period to
seven years. The Senate promptly
concurred with the House resolution
by a vote of At to g.
The amendment does not become ef-
fective until ratified by the legisla.
lures Of two-thirds of the states.
The friends of the resolution expect
to have it submitted to the states as
Christmas present this year, and
ratification completed within three
years.
w. J. Bryan probably did more than
any other man; or dozen men in the
entire country, to bring about this
great change in public opinion on the
liquor question. He was on the floor
of the House while the vote was be-
ing taken. and was joyously congratu-
lated at its conclusion.
Ever since his young manhood Mr.
Bryan has been a consistent opponent
of the liquor saloon. He opposed the
saloon when it dominated the politics
of a majority Of the states. The H.
Quor interests kept Mr.. Bryan from
being president, but if given a person
al choice it is quite probable that Mr..
Bryan had sooner be the leader of
the forces that will drive the saloon
out of his country than to have been
president of, his country.
