BOLSHEVIKI ARE BE-
COMING EMBITTERED
Their Newspaper Declares
That the Russian RevOlu-
ton Cannot Accept the
Conditions and Warns the
Germans Not to Try to
Impose Them

London. Jan. 2-The peace negotia-
tions at Brest Litovsk have been broken
of by the Bolsheviki government owing
TO the German attitude regarding Po-
land and Lithuania and the enemy's pro-
iposal that garrisons be retained at La
bau, Riga and elsewhere, according to a
telegram from Petrograd by the corre-
spondent of the Daily News appearing in
a late edition of that paper to-day.
The dispatch quotes articles from the
BoIsheviki newspaper kwestia, discuss
ing the new phase of the peace negotia
tions. The article says that owing to
pressure from below, the Germans have
been obliged TO soil their lips with a
formula put forward by the Socialists at
the beginning of the war; but Gel man
imperialists would not be imperialists if
they did not try to take back in fact

MARINES GUARD
NORFOLK, VA.
Where Three Distinct Fires Wiped Out
Property Valued at $4,000, ,ooo-Many
Persons Suspected of Setting Fires
Were Put Under Arrest.

| Norfolk, Va, Jan. q 49, Marines and
bluejackets stood guard to-day over the
downtown section of the city, where
three separate fires yesterday wiped out
five of the city's largest buildings, with
a loss estimated at $20O0,000. Police
Chief Kizer and Fire Chief Mclaughlin
to-day were less inclined to place the
blame for the fires on incendiarism, al
though both declared the circumstances
were suspicious.
Charles Mccoy, a fireman, was the
only person known to have lost his life,
though it was possible the removal of
the debris would show other deaths from
falling walls. More than a score of
persons were arrested on suspicion and
about dozen we're held for an investi-
cation. Two men who are thought to be
Germans were among those held.
Three distinct explosions in as many
one after the fire once virtual
ly had been brought under control, led to
the general belief that enemy agents
were at work Mayor Mayo practically
placed the city under martial law by
turning the situation over to naval off
pers and some $500 marines and blue
jackets from nearby naval stations as
sisted the police and home guards in
order and preventing van
lalism.

BARRE MAN WON.
David Stephen Awarded Vermont State
Checker Championship.

Although the governing board of the
Vermont State Checker association has
not officially ruled on technical questions
involved in the outcome of the recent
state tournament held in Barre. the
! championship is awarded David Stephen
OF this city by virtue of a clear lead over
all opponents. This much was learned
| to-day when il became known that j.. G..
Egelston of Rutland, Mr.. Stephens near
est rival, had practically eliminated him
1 self from the race The new champion,
who succeeds w. c. Hoag of Burlington,
won 25 games, lost four and played his
opponents to Is draws, for total of IS
points. His lead was established rather
early in the tournament, which started
the day after Christmas, and the out
come of his splendid showing puts him
in line to be the first holder of the new
championship board, purchased by the
state association TO replace the historic
trophy destroyed by fire in Burlington
last fall
Barring the fact that Mr.. Stephen
played and won two matches with a
contestant who withdrew from the tour
nament before his meeting with Mr..
Egelston was due, the new ehampions
victory was clean cut. Two of the four
matches lost by him were to j. NJ. Tag
gart of Randolph Center and they We're
the first two played. W. c. Hoag and |
William Gill each took match from Mr.. |
Stephen, the latter forcing his opponent |
to draw in the second frame, while Mr. |
Hoag suecumbed to defeat in his second |
match with the champion.
Ignorance of what action the govern
ing board might take in the scores OF
Niessrs. Stephen and Egelston postponed
the time when the championship became
definitely known. When Mr.. Stephen
had finished his last match the Rutland
man still had to play Mr.. Hoag. In the
event of defeat for Mr. Hoag, Mr.. Egel-
'ton and Mr. Stephen would have played
off a tie. However. Mr.. Egelston, when
over the telephone last night
)y a member of the local committee,
stated that his claim on the state title
was so remote that he would probably I
ancel his matches with Mr. Hoag In
he matches last week Mr.. Stephen de ,, ,
Gated Mr.. Egelston in one game and :
orced him to draw in the second con-
est.

SET HOUSE 4FIRE
Firemen Had Cold Job Putting Out Blaze
at IS Railroad Street This
Forenoon.

A cold wave which put out TO sea yes
terday according to the meteorologists
| renewed its clutch on Barre to-day and
was indirectly responsible for a fire at
Is Railroad street this morning at 9:l5
o'clock. While the fire department and
everybody else remained under the spell
! of the Yukon or something like that,
someone disobeyed Chief Gladdings in
junction not TO use paper torches in
thawing out frozen water pipes. The re-
suit was hurried call for assistance,
which the chief and other regulars an
swered in the auto truck. Fire starting
from the basement forced its way to and
through the roof in the house at No. 10
occupied by A. Colombo and owned by
Justus ketchum. Picking line of least
resistance through floors and partitions,
the fire was making its effects uncom.
fortably felt when the truck crew ar
rived. By dint of much effort the fire
men extinguished the blaze with chem
icals, although at one time it was thought
that water would be necessary. The loss
is 800. partially covered by insurance.
Readings OF minus 3S and 40 in Barre
early to-day did not indicate that the

INCREASE PASTORS SALARY.
Barre Baptists Pay Recognition to Rev
B. J. Lehigh's Services.

Over against the difficulties common
to all church financing in these abnormal
times and with them the unusual calls
for money and assistance, the First Bap
ltist society of Barre recorded year of
commendable achievement on the right
/ side of the ledger when ii closed its
books at the annual meeting yesterday
afternoon. The New Years gathering
at the church was somewhat smaller than
| in recent years, due in part to the Sc
verify OF the weather, but the reports
from several departments of church en-
deavor were the most encouraging in
some time, and the outlook for 1918 Is
regarded as promising. The pastor. Rev
B. j. Lehigh, acted as moderator and
most of the afternoon was given over
to hearing reports and discussing plans
for the wear now under way. The wom-
en- of the church served an appetizng
panic" supper after the business meet
ing. and in the evening Rev Edgar Cross
land, pastor of the. First Presbyterian
church, gave his lecture on From Cape
to Cairo illustrating his remarks with
stereoptieon views. An appreciative au.
dience was present.
Significant of the devotion shown by
specially designated workers in The
church and Sunday school was the fact
that every department head reported
bills all paid and money in the treasury
In several instances the departments are
well grounded financially. Dur
ing the year the contribution made 10
the parsonage fund was considerably
larger than the amount pledged at the
asst annual meeting
