STACKER MONUMENT
NOW HONOR INSIGNIA
johnson Stacker List Cleared of
Names and MOoted Monument
Transformed Into Insignia of
One Hundred Per Cent
Loyalty

The mooted Stacker monument at
Johnson, erected, burned and again
erected was this week transformed
into monument of loyalty by the
Johnson council of defense after the
last member of the alleged Stacker
quartet had cleaned his record of any
stigma of disloyalty and his name
had been erased from the list of COM
munity slackers. Instead OF pointing
with shame to four members of the
community who, in the opinion of the
defense council, had not done their
full bit toward winning the war, the
monument now stands as fitting
tribute to community which is 100
per cent loyal g"
Two weeks ago, following a meet
ing OF the council OF defense, the
Stacker monument. Of frame con
struction, was unveiled and placed on
the principal street crossing The
insignia of shame contained four
' u,
n. Haynes and j. Steiner. The sec
ond night the monument was clan
destinely saturated with kerosene
and burned to the ground. Arrange
mcnts were at once made for the CON
struction of a sheet iron monument,
more substantial and more elaborate
than the first. In the meantime the
first three named gentlemen took
steps to remove their names from
the list Of alleged slackers and
gained the good graces of the defense
council.
The new monument was erected
with but one name, j. Steiner, in
flaming letters. Within a few hours,
however, Mr.. Steiner had followed
the lead Of the other members of the
quartet and had taken steps to entitle
him to admittance to the ranks OF
the loyal citizens. The converted
monument is now pointed to with
pride by every resident of the John
son community.
johnson is now 100 per cent
loyal" said a prominent member Of
the community yesterday. Drastic
steps were necessary to bring them
all into line, but such steps some
times result In great good, and l be.
lieve that this will prove the case
with our community. There are no
hard feelings and every person has
done his bit toward winning the war
and will continue to do his full share.
We will not have it said that there is
Stacker among us without doing
everything in our power to make him
a true American, and l believe that
every person in the community Is
now determined to go the limit in
winning the war"
Hats off to the Johnson council OF
defense and the patriotic people Of
that community. They have earned
the commentator Of their neighbors.

HITS SUNkEN BARGES.
Steamer Marion May Be Wreck or
 South Norwalk.

South Norwalk, March 7.--The steamer Marion of the Norwalk line, a freight propeller on her fourth trip starting this morning, piled up on five of the coal barges that were sunk off Greens Reef light, in the local har- tor here last Decem Der, with the re- suit that it is feared she will break in two and be a total loss. No buoys, lights or other warnings had been placed on the bargcs, which were di- rectly in the channel and the snow and the absence of these warnings caused the accident.
 This is the second steamer to pile up on these barges the steamer Arm itage Brearley, also a freight carrier, having hit them and stuck there, happily without much damage the day after the barges had gono down.

AMERICANS HOLDING
 EIGHT MILE FRONT
Able to Fire on Enemy Flank From Any Point Along
 Line,

Washington, March 7.-American troops are holding something more than eight miles of trenches on the battle front in France, although in an air line their frontage is only about four and a half miles. This frontage is liable to extension at any time to the regular trench allotment for an army corps.
 lrregularity Jf the trench lines is responsible for their eight miles of length. They are laid out so that HanNing fire may be obtained along every part of the front. Strong points containing machine guns jut out for this purpose. The trenches also fol- low closely any protective slope of the country and wander up and down hill.

 'The people are hoping for peace to come soon," Miss McCann. said. "The German people know America has joined the other nations against them, but they seem to believe what they have been told-that enough American soldiers to help the Allies to any eN- tent will not be able to cross the At. Iantic'

TRIBUTES PAID ID
 REDMOND'S MEMORY
(Continued From First Page).


 cause he had become less ardent supporter of the Cntentes war aims but because he feared that to do so night injure Ireland and his party Since then, his illness and family bereavemCnts. which included the death of his brother William, at the head of his battalion in France, took him out of the public eye, except on occasions when Irish questions re- ouired his attention.
 However, MT. Redmond went to work harder than ever when the Irish convention was created, and with the exception of the last few meetings he was a regular attendant at the sos- sions and took a leading part in the GelibcrationS despite the great pain he was suffering from the ailment which made necessary the operation that ended in death. Other events in Ireland, such as the cXccsses of the S7nn feiners, did not lessen his wor- ries, and, except for Premier Lloyd George there was no man in Eng land who had a more difficult posi- ton to hold. But the Irish national ist leader had had the training which enabled him to succeed where others failed. He was tho most experienced student of parliamentary procedure and had sat in the house continuous ly for g years
 The Irish convention adjourned for two hours today when it heard of Mr. Redmond's death. Later it passed a resolution of sorrow, which said:
 Throughout the proceedings of the convention his wise counsel was an invaluable aid for our guidance. He regarded the work of the con- vention and it's outcome as fraught with the most vital interests of the Irish people and the whole empire"

clared that he would not be q candi- date at this time under any condi any conditions. Edwin w. Schultz, whose name has been whispered in so1nc quarters, likewise denies that his ann b1uonS are in tho direction of the mayors office. Thus at this time it would appear that the field is open to Messrs QuigleN, Jester and Barnes for the nomination at the republican primaries which will be held on April ?.
 In the minds of those most inter- ested in local politics there is no doubt but that Mir. Corbn was strong lN urged to be a candidate, but with his many business interests and his vast amount of government work he docs not desire to enter the political arena. Among other things. MT. Cor bin is chairman of the first district exemption board, which is no small task, and in denying that he is to be a candidate he said: "Nope, nothing to it. I'm enlisted in tho service"
 Barnes Makes Statement
 Luther NJ. Barnes, one of the re- publican trio, had but little comment of a political nature to mako today. although he did mention the mayors references to his platform. II know the mayor says they arc old things, But just the same they are all good things and let me tell you they arc not being done now" Besides on- phatically declaring that he is in this race to stay and will not consider withdrawing, Mr, Barnes had nothing to say.
 Likewise, neither Mayor Quigley nor MT. Jester. the two other candidates. had anything to offer to the cading public today.
