OBITUARY.
IrpsEY p. srocKBRrpeE.

In the mellow warmth OF the October
afternoon, Sidney P. stockbridge was
laid to rest Saturday in the family lot at
Woodbine cemetery under the autumn
foliage and old fashioned flowers he
loved so well. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. j. w. Tickle OF the
Unitarian church.
AS teid in THE AMERICAN at the time,
about a month ago AIR. Stockbridge,
while walking on the Bucksport road,
became separated from his son, who was
accompanying hia, end disappeared in
the woods. An untiring search OF several
days, in which practically all the citizens
participated, failed to reveal his where
abouts, and the mystery was not solved
until he was accidentally discovered by
hunters last Thursday. Then the easy
posture OF the body told its own story;
how, following the custom OF life time,
he had wandered through the woods in
the bright sunshine and crisp air of the
brilliant autumn afternoon, until, tired,
he lay down to rest, and probably passed
out OF life during one of the heart attacks
from which he had suffered after over
exertion.
Sidney p. Stockbridge was born in
Ellsworth September %, 1870, the oldest
child OF the late Elisha and Ann tAdsms)
Woodbridge. Most OF his life had been
passed in the lumber business. For
many years he was bookkeeper and man
ager for the firm j. I. & g. n. Grant, and
ta.ar hala a u{n,,Iay Y,nsftinp NTH the
Ellsworth Lumber Co. A staunch re-
publican in politics, he had served the
city as alderman and for many years was
one OF the assessors.
His wife, VI no was Sarah R., daughter of
the late Alexander B. Black, survives,
with the daughter and son, Miss Annie
r. and Henry B. Stockbrldge. An older
son, Walter B., died in young manhood.
He also leaves two sisters-Mrs. II. Il.
Harden and Miss Mary A. Stock bridge,
and brother, Francis A. Stockbridge, of
this city.
Mr.. Stockbridge was a man of upright
character, devoted to his family, faith
full friend, a good neighbor and a man
OF gentle tastes, fond OF music, OF animals
and OF nature in her varied aspects.
Since his retirement from business, some
Of his happiest hours we're passed at his
cottage ct Surry, and the neighbors will
long Der his homecoming from
solitary rsmbles in the woods, laden
with the earliest flowers OF spring or the
first brilliant leaves OF autumn.
While the sympa. by of the whole
community is extended to the family,
whose long weeks of anxiety have ended
in realization OF the death of beloved
husband, father and brother, there is
comfort in the thought that he, whose
life was So largely passed in the open,
spared Illness and the infrmities of
advancing years, should have gone to
rest in Natures arms.

No peace with autocracy. This in
brief is the substance of President
Wilson's answer to the German
PROPOSAL for an armistice to discuss
terms of peace. The answer is in
perfect harmony with the public
opiuion of this country and its allies,
which saw, in President Wilson's
questions in response to the first
German note, threatened danger of
reversion from war of Weapons to
a war of words. The Huns are past
masters in the art of diplomatic
dickering, In such a warfare Ger
many would have distinct adj
vantage over that she is now waging
in the field. Germany must be
beaten to her knees, a helpless
pleader for peace. The Presidents
message is forceful enough, definite
enough, to reassure those who saw
danger ahead in note writing. 1t
will cheer on to renewed victories
our boys in France who are bound for
Berlin; it will assure our allies that
tine wrongs they have suffered as
near neighbors of the ''Beast of
Berlin" will not be CLOSED over in
a premature peace; as almost a
direct appeal to the German people,
it VIII hasten the downfall of the
Kaiser and his whole hellish brood,
and, incidentally, it will give big
boost to the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan. No peace with autocracy.
