venustiano to Wilhelm.

Carfanza, the egregious Venustiano,
congratulates the kaiser fulsomely on
his birthday OF course it is regarded as
a sort of polite duty for one great SOW
ereign to felicitate another on such an
occasion. The mighty Of the world have
to observe the amenities, one toward an
other. But we do not recall that Car
rama sent any enthusiastic message for
the personal happiness of President Will
son and his august family, nor any in
tense and irrepressible wish for the pros
perity of this great friendly nation, when
the president passed his sixtysecond
birthday on the 28th of last December.
The terms and the conspicuousness OF
Carranza's greeting to the all highest
Hun are intended as an insult to Amer
lea. and they are essentially an insult to
all civilized nations.
Carranza is possibly moved, in this
fulsome salutation, by gratitude for the
kaiser's WISH expressed through Zim-
mermann, to annex large portion of our
southwestern territory to the Mexican
republic. He may not however, have
been thinking of that benevolent aspira
tion. 1t is really enough for Carranza
that he thinks to help his personal cause,
as against all the surging banditries that
hem him in, by adopting studiously
offensive but not openly aggressive
course toward the United States. Car
rama is a master of this Latin art-to
remain officially correct, but by every
means of suggestion and indirection to
offend and irritate, for his own advan-
tage with the groundlings.
We are not bothering much about Mex
leo nowadays, and Carranza is undoubt
edly safe in pursuing this mephitic pol
icy. But conditions in Mexico remain as
crooked as ever. Sometime they will
have to he Strengthened out.-Boston |

DEAD ON LOAD OF WOOD.
Peter Pariezo Was Found BY the Mail
Carrier

Death came suddenly to Peter Pariezo
at his home ON Chelsea west hill Thurs
day night. as he was returning with a
load of wood Mr.. Pariezo had reached
the shed door with the team. but had not
descended from the load when he was
stricken, heart trouble being the cause.
In his usual health, so far as known,
Mr. Parezo, who lived alone, was about
his usual activities and as before stated,
had just returned from a trip with his
team when the mail carrier arrived at
the house and, failing to find him. in
yestigated and saw the load standing
back of the house with the man living on
it. He apparently had been dead about
10 minutes.
Mr. Pariezo was born in st. Eugene,
Can. and came to the states about 40
years ago, the time since having been
spent in Barre City and Town and near
by villages. He had reached the age of
IS years and eight months. The body
was brought Thursday night to the
home of his daughter, Mrs Harry Han
son, in East Barre, where the funeral
will be held Sunday.
Besides the daughter, Mrs. Hanson
Mr.. Pariezo leaves two sons, John of
Barre Town and Charles of Windsor;
five brothers, Raymond of Granteville
John of Grand Isle and Joe, Peter and
Frank of Canada, also three sisters in
Canada.
The deceased was man who had
many friends and will be greatly missed

STATE MAY CUT WOOD.
Officials Confer Over Project to Supply
1000 Cords.

Commissioner OF Agriculture Z. S
Brigham of st. Albans and State Pur.
chasing Agent Dewey r. Hanley are in
! conference over cutting wood from the
state forest for the heating of some of
the state buildings. The state has sew
eral forests in different parts of the state
and Forester Hastings is in Mendon.
where he is endeayoring to let the con-
tract to cut wood on the state forest in
that part Of the state Probably there
will be some wood cut from the Sharon
forest
Mr.. Brigham stated Friday evening
that there were probably 200 cords that
should be removed from that forest. The
survey of the other forests have not yet
been completed by the forester. Presim-
ably a couple of thousand cords will be
cut by the state, providing, Of course,
that help con be secured Nothing can
be done until the snow settles some.
Forests nearest the state institutions
will be used first
Mr.. Hanley has plenty of opportunity
to buy wood and the price for the most
part is at IS cord, to be delivered next
fall. which means dry wood. Already
several thousand cords have been offered
him. the most of which is suitably To-
Gated for the institutions to which il will
be shipped, Mr. Hanley does not expect
to be caught next fall without fuel. The
experience OF this winter and the fact
that it will undoubtedly be worse next
fall causes him to complete preparations
for wood as a fuel if il should develop
that coal cannot be obtained. This year
he was fortunate in having placed his or
ders early in the summer and, therefore,
has been annoyed but little in getting
fuel

WILL STIMULATE AMERICA.
Sinking of the Tuscania Will Act as
Prod, English Think.

London, Feb. 9-That the sinking OF
the Tuscania viii stimulate the United
States to even greater resolve and stern
er efforts on behalf of the fight for de
mocracy is the opinion generally ex-
| pressed in editorial comment in the
morning newspapers.
| Satisfaction is expressed and con
| gratulations are extended that this, the
! first disaster to an American transport
shows the emptiness OF the German boast
| that the submarines would render the
| transportation OF the American armies
| impossible and would intimidate the
Americans. Nevertheless. it is declared,
| it is too much to hope that the Tusca-
mia will be the last victim.
| Some of the editorials say that the
submarine menace has not vet been mas
tered and remains a grave problem to
which the allies, especially Great Britain
and the United States, must devote all
their energies in view of the imperative
need of keeping the Atlantic route open
The Daily Telegraph says:
"The Americans have defed the pirates
all these months, and we are convinced
that the sorrow and anger which the
loss of life on the Tuscania will occa-
people to persevere and deepen their re-
solve
"A thousand men will step forward
to fill the gap left vacant by each of
the dead" says the Daily Mail "Amer-
leans are looking the task straight in the
face
The Times after expressing, like the
other newspapers, sympathy for the
American army and those personally be-
reaved, SAYS.
They have died as millions of their
country are ready to die and as tens of
thousands must die in the struggle be-
fore victory is won and the war aims
OF America accomplished, The spirit of
the American people was already high
1t will be higher vet as they mourn
their heroes who sleep forever beneath
the waves of the Atlantic"
The Daily Chronicles editorial is de-
voted wholly to a serious view of the
submarine campaign II advises states
men who are inclined to make optimst-
ic statements regarding the submarine |
to keep their lips closed. The newspaper
fears that the loss of the Tuscania is |
only one among several losses of big |
ships though the fact that It carried |
American troops has earned 1t special |
publicity"
Contending that the main problem for |
the allies is the maintenance of ocean /
routes, the Chronicle remarks that no 1
relief for the allies in the air fighting
has yet come from America, while the
food shortage is pinching the allies in
Europe earlier than had been hoped.
These facts il ascribes not to a lack of
American effort. but TO the shortage of
ships and maintains that the shpbuild-
ing both here and in America lags very
much behind what is desirable.
The Daily Graphic thinks that the
sinking of the Tuscania shows that the
activity of the submarines constitutes
serious obstacle to the transportation of
American troops. and raises the question
whether the U-boats are being enabled
o replenish their supplies by pro-Ger-
nan conspiratOrs in Ireland Il
