SHOT HIMSELF IN HEAD.
Charles Wales Took His Life at Eagle
Hotel in Keene, N. H,

Charles Wales, resident of Keenc.
y. H., for a number of years, commit.
ted suicide Tuesday evening in his room
at the Eagle hotel, shooting himself
through the head with 32calibre re-
volver. His age was about 81 years.
Between $50 and clock Proprie-
tor Daniel O'Neil heard mufHed
sound, but it did not resemble shot.
Later Wales was found dead, sitting in
a chair in his room. The revolver laid
on the floor, one chamber having been
discharged.
The police and medical referee, DR..
F. NJ. Dinsmoor, were called. Death
must have come instantly, as the bull
let entered one temple and went through
the brain.
So far as is known there was no par
ticular reason for the deed, although
Mr.. Wales is said to have been in poor
health some of the time lately and may
have brooded over this. He had worked
on farm in Vermont summers, but had
spent good deal of time in Keene. He

MAY FIGHT IN SIBERIA.
Japan Wants Allies to Take Part in
Joint Military Operations American
Troops Might Go from Philippines.

Japan S move to develop the feeling
of allies toward a proposal for Joint
military operations in Siberia to keep
the vast stores at Vladvostok and along
the trans-Siberian railway from falling
into the hands of German invaders Of
Russia was widely discussed yesterday
by diplomatic officials in Washington,
but all were reluctant to give opinions
for publication.
Opinion in London that the declara.
tion of Count Notono in the japanese
diet could only be interpreted as dec
laration that Japan was about to inter
vene, was regarded as further evidence
of the negotiations now proceeding be
tween the co-beligercnts to make the
action of an international character,
probably including the participation of
American forces.
While all officials are silent and
disposed to minimize discussion of the
subject, It Is known that changes of
opinion are going on with the object
of perfect understanding among ia
pan, the United States and the other
co-belligerents which would make the
plan of joint action wholly acceptable
to all and thoroughly define its extent
and duration.
Russian representatives in Washing
ton oppose action by the japanese in
Siberia, but the -bcllistfc4{tS y8td
thoroughly alarmed lest the vast guam
titles of supplies piled up at Vladivos-
tok, bought and paid for with American
cash, should fall into the hands of the
Germans.
From the tone of the discussion of
this subject in official Washington, it
appears that while the entente govern
ments incline favorably to a joint cam
paign with Japan in Siberia, they are
faced with the obstacle that practically
none of them has any troops or ships
available for an Asiatic campaign. This
statement does not apply, however, to
America, which not only has some pow
erful cruisers with large crews and ma
rine contingents now in Asiatic waters,
but in addition has about 10000 troops
in the Philippines and two full battal-
ions, about 900 strong, in China and on
the railroad where they could be rushed
quickly into Siberia.

THE PUTNEY COLUMN
Flags Presented.

The Boy Scouts enjoyed a sleighride
in the snow storm last Friday evening
to the home of Assistant Scoutmaster
Lovenberg, where the regular meeting
of the troop was held. After the bust
ness session program in keeping with
Washington s birthday was rendered,
also music on the graphophone.
During the evening a beautiful Boy
Scout flag was presented the troop by
Mr.. Lovenberg with few appropriate
remarks. The flag was accepted on be-
half of the Scouts by Scoutmaster Rus
sell, who also presented the troop with
an American flag.
The program completed, the Scouts
were invited into the dining room
where an elaborate repast was waiting,
the table being handsomely decorated
with national colors, the cherry tree,
the Ratchet, and even the cherries were
there. The first course served was a
small tube containing a tin whistle, a
motto. and q paper hat, which was worn
while the Scouts did justice to the
lunch. This was followed with more
music and singing, after which, with
the Scout yell and many thanks, they
started home, all acknowledging that the
assistant Scoutmaster had really done
his good turn.
Because some Scouts have moved
from the state a few promotions were
made to fill the vacancies, as follows:
Milford Martin to be patrol leader,
Richard Aplin and Ralph Austin to be
assistant patrol leaders, Alton Earring
ton to be assistant scribe and treasur-
er. The assistant patrol leaders are to
act as ensigns. F. S. Hewitt was added
to the local council.
The meetings in March will be in
charge of the patrol leaders, David
,Hannum, Milford Martin and Henry
Phelps. The first will be held at the
home of George T. Aplin, with another
sleighride, and the second at the homo
of the Hannum Scouts. The Scouts
will meet at the central school building
at 100 p. m, to go to the places of
meeting. They are asked to come in
uniforms and with troop colors. If the
weather permits the drum corps and
flags will go with them.
