DEC|MATED PRUSS|AN
GUARDS RECEIVED IN
BERLIN IN SOLEMN|TY

Copenhagen, Wednesday, Dec. l..
Berlin's welcome to the Prussan
guard, Tuesday, was solemn rather
than triumphant according to Ber-
lin advices received here. 1t was
generally observed that the troops
marched under the German national
colors and that the bands played
Deutschland Uber Alles,' and not
revolutionary airs.
Brandcnburg gate and the streets
through which the soldiers marched,
were decorated with eycrgrcenS and
flags The officers and men were
decorated with national rosettes OF
flowers and wore their iron crosses.
The soldiers in the procession par
ticipated in the last battle OF the
war and suffered tremendous losses,
some dctachmentS being reduced al
most to the vanishing point, it is
said. The ranks, however, were filled
with men from other detachments.
Owing to the fact that no steps
to control traffic had been taken,
many persons were injured when
the vanguard OF the troops passed
through Brandenburg gate, The
throngs for time completely ar
rested the parade, and force had to
be used to open passage for the
soldiers.
Friedrich Ebert, the premier, wei
coined the soldiers. lie declared, it
is said, that a new government had
been established in Germany and .
that the army would be its strongest |
support. In behalf of the troops, a
sergeant replied to the effect that |
the watch word now must be /
quiet He said that the soldiers
desired the convening Of the nation
al assembly at the earliest moment,
and did not want to be led away
from the Secure path Of quiet and
order BY DR.. Karl Licbknecht and
other dreamers."
Premier Ebert's speech TO the sol
diers is reported As follows:
"Your deeds and sacrifices are un-
exampied. No enemy oyercame YOU.
Only when the prepondcrance OF our
in men and material grew
ever heavier, did we abandon the
struggle.
you endured indescribable sui
ferings, accomplished Incompatible
deeds and gave proofs OF your un-
shakable courage. You protected
the homeland from invasion, shell
tered vour wives. children and par
ents from flames and slaughter, and
preserved the nations workshops
and fields from devastation.

A PREMATURE CELEBRATION.

On Sunday morning at about two
o'clock, Manchester people indulged
in jollification over news supposed
to have come from authentic sources
and to the effect that Germany was
ready, to accept the peace terms OF
President Wilson, as set out in his
speech of last January. The fire bell
fire whistle and church bells were
turned loose and for time it sound
ed as though the whole town was be-
ing destroyed by fire. A big bonfire
was built on the four corners and a
free-for-all celebration was had.
1t is becoming more and more ap'
parent that the report of Germany's
willingness to talk peace seems to
have been a carefully laid plot to play
for time in which to re-organize her
armies on all fronts, and many are in
clined to believe that the report was
made public at this time to divert the
attention of the American people
from the big task before them at the
present time, the floating OF the six
billion dollar bond issue. Kaiser Bill
has fooled some of the nations into
what he calls an honorable peace, but
seems to have hard time at foolins

BOY 1s YEARS OLD, SUICIDES.

Norman Bell. lad of twelve years,
committed suicide at the VIM. Woeste
home early Sunday morning, by firing
the charge Of shot gun into his head.
It appears that the lad was at one time
an inmate of the Home of the Friend
less at Des Moines, and the Woeste
family had taken him to raise about
year and half ago. He was of a
quiet nature, and showed no symptoms
that would lead one to commit suicide.
Early Sunday morning when Mr.. and
Mrs. Woeste and their daughter arose
they left the lad asleep in the house.
At the foot of the stairs was a shot
gun, and the shells for the gun were
in another part of the house. While
the family were out doing chores the
lad evidently got up and got the gun
and took it to his room upstairs,
where he committed the rash act Up
on returning to the house they found
the lifeless little form in the room,
with the shot gun by its side.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon and interment was made
in the cemetery near the Zion Meth
odist church.

CELEBRATES SEND ANNIVERSARY,

A. NJ Sherwood of this city celebrat-
ed his S2nd birthday by participating
in the celebration on the streets ear
ly Sunday morning. He tells us that
in as much as report of victory
over Germany was in large measure
a camouflage, he is inclined to be-
lieve that part Of the excitement was
planned as a celebration of his birth
day. Mr.. Sherwood also tells us that
sixty-two years ago last Monday morn
ing he ate his first breakfast in Burr
ington-now Manchester. He ate that
breakfast in the Clarence hotel. He
has made his home here continuously
from that date, and has seen the town
grow from that village to a beautiful
city. We rise to congratulate Mr..
Sherwood upon having reached his
eightysecond birthday in the enjoy
ment of good health, and we hope that
he may live to see many more happy
birthdays.

s- Only few days before Mr.. and Mrs.
Enright had letter from their son,
stating that he was well, and happy.
The news of the young soldiers death
brings just little nearer home the
grim realities of the terrible slaughter
Of human life that has been going on
In Europe during the past four years.
The message received by Mrs Enright
gives no particulars as to what sec
ton of the battle front her son was
fighting when he fell. 1t will probab-
" be several days before the grief
stricken parents will know under
what circumstances their son was kill
ed. More detailed information will
naturally have to be sent by mail by
some member or officer Of Co. NJ, 357
Infantry. of which he was member.
OF the correctness of the message
there can be no doubt, even though
Corp. Enrights name had not as yet
appeared in published casualty lists.
Corp. Dennis E. Enright was born
at Tama, Iowa, September 23rd, 1892,
and spent practically all of his life
in that city. He graduated from st.
Mary's Academy at Tama, in June,
1911. In March, 1916, he came to Man
chester, when his father came here to
engage in the grocery business. For
a year and half he was associated
with his father in the management of
the grocery store. In June, 1917, he
registered at Tama, Iowa, and on April
30th, 1918, he entered the service at
Camp Dodge, where he was station
ed for only about twenty days. From
Camp Dodge he went to Camp Travis,
Texas, where he was in training for
several weeks. From Texas he was
transferred to a Camp at Hampstead,
New York, and sometime in June, he
went overseas. He landed in France
early in July.
He is survived by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. P. Enright, who reside on
West Union Street, and three sisters,
Mrs. Edward Cahill of Leon, Iowa; and
Misses Katherine and Gertrude, at
home.
Mr.. Enright was likable young
fellow. His pleasant manner, and
companionable nature made him popu-
lar among the young people of Man
chester.
Mr.. and Mrs. Enright have made the
supreme sacrifice in giving their only
son in their country's defense. The
sympathy of many friends is extend
ed the parents and sisters in this hour
of sorrow.
