AVER PROTESTS INCLUSION
 IN CAMP DEVENS QUARANTINE

Aver, Mass, Sept. 25.-A number of merchants and other citizens of this town went 'on strike" against the town authorities tonight and took steps looking toward a virtual an- nexation of the town to Camp Devens. Their particular grievance, as voiced at a public meeting, was the quaran- tine recently declared by the town board of health against the canton- ment on account of the influenza epi- demic.
 The meeting drew up a petition, which will be forwarded at once to the war department, asking that the department take over administration of the towns affairs.
 Speakers at the meeting declared that the quarantine was unnecessary, that it was unfair discrimination against the soldiers at the canton ment and that it tended to spread rather than allay the epidemic by ere ating panic.

EXPLAINS FAILURE OF
 GERMAN OFFENSIVE

Amsterdam, Sept. 25.-General Von Wrisberg addressed the main commit tee of the reichstag e behalf of the minister of war. He explained, accord ing to a telegram from Berlin, that the failure of the German offensive on the western front was due to the failure of the German army to surprise the Entente allies and the necessity of as suming the defensive on the arrival of the English home army in the thea tre of war; to the employment of col cred troops and to the intervention of American divisions
 The withdrawal of the Hindenburg line, the general said, was due to a lack of well consolidated positions. :"
 Speaking of the American victory in the St. Mihiel sector, General Won Wrisberg said: ..-
 "It lies in the nature of the case that we as the defenders lost con- siderable number of guns and pris- oners. We can, however. with assur- ance calculate that the enemy obtain ed his successes on the first days of the attack by surprise and with small losses but for the rest he suffered the heaviest losses.
 "The American armies should not terrify us. We shall also settle with them"

OBITUARY. Archbishop John Ireland.

St Paul. MinG., Sett. e5.-Arch- bishop John Ireland of the St. Paul diocese of the Roman Catholic church died early today after long illness of heart disease and stomach trouble. He was SC years old.
 In making public the archbishop's last words this afternoon, his secretary announced that in accordance with the preIate's wish interment would be made in Calwry cemetery and not in the crypt in the St. Paul cathedral
 Shortly before he became uncon- scious, Archbishop Ireland said
 Let me lie out there with my peo- pie. under the green sod of Calvary. It is my wish
 Tentative plans for the funeral in, dicate the body will lie in state at the cathedral on Tuesday and the funeral will take place on Wednesday morn ing.
 John Ireland, archbishop of St. Paul held such a keen and active in terest in general affairs in the United States during the past half century that he was noted as a publicist as well as for his religious zeal. He was one of the most distinguished of the Roman Catholic churchmen of Ameri- ca. There were few fields of intellectu- al, political or spiritual endeavor in which he failed to take a positive stand, making himself at times the center of a controversy. | Born in 1898 in Ireland. carpen- ter's son, he was carried with his par 1 ents in the tide of Irish fmmigration to America when he was a child. Altar 1 service at Burlington, Vt. and a jolt l ing trip west on a prairie schooner were among his boyhood memories, l I,;,. 4rt TO11T1 | in 1852, when Indians in gay blankets | stalked the streets of that frontier 1 town.
 i After being ordained at St. Paul, he eagerly accepted an appointment as | chaplain in the Fifth regiment of the Minnesota volunteers. | He was ardent for the Unionist cause and shared every hardship of the soldiers life in their terrible win ter raids. At Iuka he gave yeoman's s help by rushing ammunition to the front when it was sorely needed. He was stricken with fever after less than a years service and returned to St. Paul pastorate.
 He became bishop in 1875 and arch
 bishop in 1S86 He received support
 from many of his admirers for ap- pointment as the fourth American care dinal Celebrating his golden jubilee
 a few years ago, the priests of his dio-
 cese presented him with a purse of $100.00O.
 As a speaker Archbishop Ireland was direct and magentic. with a sense
 of humor One of the phrases which
 has often been quoted as characteristic of his particular endeavor in life is
 this:
