Which Lord Mayor of Dublin Proposes
to Take to Washington.

Dublin, Wednesday, May 22.-At the
anti-conscription conference at Mansion
house to-day letter was read from A. j.
Balfour, the British foreign secretary, to
the lord mayor of Dublin, declaring that
passports would be granted to the lord
mayor only if he agreed to submit to
the Irish government all documents he
intended to carry to America on his pro

the mayor had replied that the only doc
ument he intended to carry was one di-

decline to submit this TO the lord lieu

The matter was considered in a two
hour sitting, after which the conference

PINNED DOWN BY AUTO
But Mrs. L. c. Swain of Plainheld
Escaped Injury.

| After being pinned under her roadster,
| an Oldsmobile IS, for more than 20 min
utes, Mrs. L. G. Swain, wife of Plain
field lumberman, was extricated by the
| combined efforts of three men summoned
to her home after the automobile had
borne her over a l0-foot bank Due
measurably TO good fortune and in part
to the woman's GOODNESS, she escaped
with only slight bruises. The roadway
leading from the garage at the Swain
home to the main highway is a narrow
affair, and it is rendered more hazardous
by a sharp curve. 1t was when Mrs.
Swain was attempting to negotiate the
curve that the roadster swerved from its
course and headed for a slope which
skirts the main road. The car was going
slowly, and it rode the bank diagonally.
Not until it reached the foot of the bank
did the car tip and then it almost turned
turtle.
Mrs Swain was unable to extricate
herself unaided, but help came quickly
and as soon as the heavy car could be
righted, her anxious rescuers were re-
lieved to find that she had been unin-
jured. The car was damaged but slight
ly, the windshield being shattered and
the hood and steering gear slightly dis
arranged. A man from the Oldsmobile
service station was called to Plainfield
and he drove the car to Barre under its
own power.

AMERICAN FOUGHT
THREE BOCHES IN TURN
Two Other American Pilots Engaged In
Battle with Two Germans for Half
an Hour but Could Not

With the American Army in France
Wednesday, May % Thy the Associated
Press. There was great aerial activity
northwest of Toul to-day. American avi-
ators participated in more than half a
dozen combats, but up to an early hour
tonight they had not been able to bring
down an enemy machine.
Two other American pilots fought for
half an hour with two German machines
at an altitude of $500 metres, but failed
to get telling shots home.
With the American Army in France,
Wednesday, May % Thy the Associated
Press Enemy aircraft have been ex-
tremely active along the American front
in Picardy since the advent of the new
moon. Villages and roads in the rear of
the American lines have been bombed,
and some of the villages visited by the
hostile aviators presented pitiful scenes
of destruction. The military damage
done has been negligible.
The Americans in touch with the
French population have received vista
tions and are freely offering aid and
comfort to the distressed. That some of
the American hospitals have not been
damaged is no fault of the enemy but is
due TO the good work of the air forces.
The area under bombardment from the
air is that between the American front
and Paris, and nightly the air over this
district is humming with enemy motors,
while the American and French anti-air-
craft guns are keeping up an almost con-
tinuous barrage.

CAR BADLY DAMAGED.
G. R. Bianchi Stepped on Accelerator In
stead of Brake.

Damage which may entail an expendi-
ture of $3.50 before the car is restored re-
suited from an accident on North Main
street yesterday afternoon when an Olds-
mobile touring car owned by G. r. BIZ
anchi of Montpelier encountered tele-
phone pole in front of the Rowland
building Mr.. Bianchi, who purchased
the machine but recently, was driving
and his son was assisting him. The car
was moving rather slowly until the driv
er, thinking TO apply the brake acci-
dentally jsmmed down the accelerator.
The automobile lunged forward as it
gathered speed, and before the younger
man, more experienced driver, could
use the brakes, it had closed with the
pole. Neither of the occupants was in
jured, but the front part of the car was
badly damaged.
Collision with the pole probably did
for the radiator. The hood was jammed
out of shape, and the axle, receiving its
share of the jar, was badly bent. Glass
in a headlight and in the windshield sur
fered also by the same contact.
