KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
William Balch of Shrewsbury Struck
While Feeding His Horses.

RUTLAND, May 2l-William Baleh of
Shrewsbury, a well-known farmer, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed
at about ! O'Clock last evening while he
was in his barn feeding three horses, two
of which were also killed
The body was found by Bert Swan,
brother of Mrs. Bach, who went to the
barn less than five minutes after the stroke
1t was realized that the bolt must have
struck close by, the thunder clap being
a very loud one, and Mrs Balch was some
what anxious, fearing it might have struck
the barn and set fire to it, She spoke of
this to her brother who investigated, find
ing two of the horses dead on the lower
floor. Going upstairs where Mr.. Balch had
gone to pitch down hay Mr. Swan found
his body
DIR. H. s, Martyr of Cuttingsvlle was
called and pronounced death as having
been instantaneous.
Mr. Baleh was 40 years old He was
born in Shrewsbury, the son of the late
Daniel and Julia Plumley Balch, and had
| always lived in the town His farm, where
he died, is on the road from Rutland to
North Shrewsbury, known as the upper
| Cold River road
Mr.. Balch is survived by his wife, Bertha
Swan Balch, one daughter Mrs. Claude
w, Pitts of North Clarendon, and four
brothers
| The lightning bolt that killed Mr. Balch
struck the barn on the south end and
damaged the rafters but did not set fire
to the structure. The horses that were
killed were valuable work animals.

of the men who. have studied the Rus
sian situation that nothing is to be
gained now by furnishing military as
sistanee to the seeming de facto an-
thority in the former dominions of the
Car.
That seeming de facto authority is
Bolshevist and there is little if any dis
sent among most observers from the
view that the Bolsheviki are not cap
able of handling the situation in way
to assure ultimate success of a program
having for its object rehabilitation of
Russia as nation and its probable re.
participation in the war.
Besides, it is argued, an allied mill
tary expedition centering around Boil.
shevist authority, would be nothing
more than an adventure destined to
failure. Opinion is strong that an eff
fort of this character would be exactly
what Germany would wish An imme
date Bolshevist military movement
with allied support would soon be
crushed, it is believed, and this would
tend to discredit the allies
In these circumstances consideration
is directed to the necessity of adopting
a plan of allied cooperation that viii
bring results favorable to Russian ma
tional aspirations and eoincidentally t.
the success of the. governments arrayet
| against the central powers. There il

situation is not as delicate as might |
be supposed In certain circles the feel
ing exists that all the various nations
concerned must be satisfied before any
thing is done and this will require ex-
changes between all the great powers
allied against Germany.
Great Britain and France are still
stropg in their belief that something
should be done in military way to
check Germanyi's advance into Russian
territory through armies in the west
and south and through propagandist
methods in the east. These two nations
backed. Japan in her suggestion that
Japanese force should be sent into east
fern Russia To, this proposal the United
States would not agree. The japanese
government, apparently actuated by a
| regard for the American position did
not carry ont its desire and since then
/ the Germans have had ample opportun-
i ity to make Roadway in influencing SEN
! timent for Germany in Siberia. The
/ recent order of the central Boil
shevist authority that the stores at
Vladivostok should be sent to Russia
was attributed to German suggestion
or coercion.
Things have gone from bad to worse
in Russia. People are starving even in
Petrograd, and the situation is such
that many are likely to turn to the
authority that gives them relief. But
the Russian national spirit has shown
signs of coming back and feeling has
been emphasized by the high handed
manner in which the Germans have VIC
lated their treaty obligations with botl
the Bolsheviki and the Ukrainians, a:
witness the arrest of Ukrainian minis
tiers and members of the central Rada

Cumberland, Md, August 2.-Foi-

A. Hunter Boyd heard the cases of th
thirteen striking girl garment wor%-
ers from the Cumberland branch

warrants were secured by girls VINO

the strikers.
Iudge Boyd took the case under ad-
vjscmcnt and released the girls or

being in doubt about the regularity OF
the warrants in that the issuing mag

DIR. HILLS WINS SUIT.
Referee Holds Broker Owes Brooklyn


Preacher $4,000.
New York, Aug. 2.-The suit brought
by the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
pastor of Plymouth Church, of Brook
Ign, against Frank l.. Ferguson, for
mer president of the Plymouth trus-
tees, was decided in the clergyman's
favor yesterday by a referee appoint
ed by the court to determine the jus
tice of DR.. Hills demand for an &C
counting. Mr.. Ferguson acted as
business administrator in DR.. Hills
numerous business enterprises, includ-
ing the purchase of Canadian timber
lands.
The referee, William D. Dickey, held
that Mr.. Ferguson owes DR.. Hills
10000, and that various claims which
Ferguson put in for services and eX-
penses, amounting to about $4,000,
were not justified. The referee ad-
ded:
"The temptation is strong to
preach sermon on the improperly,
to use no harsher words, of ministers,
while they are ministers, engaging IN
any speculative business where the
speculation is to be carried on with
money of others, who entrusted their
earnings to minister because he IS
a minister, relying on everything
that belongs to the ministerial office"
