NEXT BIG TRACK MEET.
st. Johnsbury Paper Tosses Bouquets
to Young Athletes.

The track meet at st. Johnsbury Satur-
day bids to be the best meet held in New
England this spring. The records hung
up at Brattleboro by the teams who are
coming here are better than those made at
the New England intercollegiate meet at
Boston few weeks ago, which fact at
tests to the class of the contestants.
Moran of Brattleboro and Sullivan
Of Rutland are considered the two best
prep school runners in the east. These
Two men Won the 100 yard dash and mile
run at the Yale meet two weeks ago, de-
feating such schools as Exeter, Andover,
Springfield, Mass, and all the Boston
men. They are both seniors and will be-
come runners of national prominence
when they get to college so that the
people of this vicinity are in for a rare
treat In having such athletes competing
IN their own dooryard
Either Rutland or Brattleboro will prob
ably win the meet, although several dark
horses must be accounted for. Last week
at Brattleboro, Rutland won by 90 point
| margin, much to the chagrin of Brattle
boro, their time honored rivals. This week
however, the 6 points that Rutland won
IN the javelin and hammer will be lost
| to them, as the events are not listed, sc
| that the competition will be keener ant
more exciting than at Brattleboro last
week
The following schools are to be rep
| resented at the meet: Brattleboro, Rut
| land, Island Pond, ST. Johnsbury, Wind
sor and Woodstock from Vermont ant
Bethlehem, Lancaster, Claremont anc
| Nhitefield from New Hampshire Thi.

Moran did not compete in the 100 yard
dash at the Yale meet, but he won prizes
there in both hurdle events. Sullivan
did not run against the big academies.
lie was in the mile run for high school
boys only and finished in second place.
Moran Is a junior, not senior, and he
IS not planning to go to college. An
dover was not represented at the Yale
meet. Aside from these corrections the
contemporary statement is fairly correct
1t should be added that the high hurdle
race IN which Moran has been a winner in
several meets in the past three years is
not on the program for Saturday at St
Johnsbury.

 J. s. SENATOR

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5. - Sena- tor Ollie M. James, of Kentucky, in a speech, defended the administrators war accomplishments and took sever eral hard raps at the speech of Sena- tor Chamberlain, of Oregon.

"Sena- tor Chamberlain announced to thc world" said Senator James, "that the United States war machine was bad ly bent and practically busted. This was the best kind of news for the German government and they pub lished it broadcast and distorted it to induce the workmen to go back to tho factories as it would only be short time until Germany would win and their troubles would all be over.'

 or WORLD WHAT THE WAR MEANS

"The present terrible conflict now being waged in Europe is a war of purifcation," said J. Lindley Green, the four minute speaker at the Elm press last night. "The people of the United States and Alaska do not know what this war means" continued the speaker. "The Belgians know. They have seen their husbands and broth CTS driven off by the Germans to work. They have seen their land de vaStated. They have seen the aged and the children put to death or left to Starve. They know what Kaiser ism and militarism means. We will also know it if we lose in this strug- gle. Many have asked why God AL mighty would permit such struggle. It is a struggle which he has counte- nanced to rid the world of militarism and Kaiserism and as sure as there is a God in Heaven, we will win and peace will come to the world"
