SPINE FRACTURED
BY BUNK OF SLED
George Battles Lay in Road Several
Hours in Townshend, Legs Being
Paralyzed, Before Help Came.

George Battles, lumberman who has
been employed in Townshend by the F.
l.. Gaines Lumber Co. of Greenfield, Mass.
is in the Memorial hospital with frac-
ture OF the spine, and it is probable that
an operation will be necessary to remove
fractured segments of bone. His lower
extremities are paralyzed. due to pressure
on the spinal cord, and it is not known at
present whether the paralysis is tempo
rarv or will be permanent.
Mr.. Battles was injured in Townshend
Sunday while drawing logs. He was
riding behind yoke of oxen. standing on
the tongue of the sled When the sled
went into diphole he was thrown off
the tongue to the ground and the sled
went over him, one of the hunks striking
him in the back in such way as to frac-
ture the second lumbar vertebra causing
paralysis.
The oxen went about 20 rods and
stopped, but Mr. Battles was unable to
rise, and as no one came along he re-
manned III the road from 8 o'clock in the
morning until about 3 in the afternoon
and suffered somewhat from exposure.
When he was found DR. +. L. Osgood
of Townshend was called and the man
was brought to the hospital, where DR.
G. r. Anderson attended him. An X-ray
picture of the fracture was made, and
another will be made from different
angle to determine just the extent of the
fracture.

DENIES AGREEMENT.
Senator Lewis Says United States Has
No Agreement with Japan.

WASHINGTON, March Discussing
reports of the possible action by Japan
in Siberia, Senator Lewis of Illinois,
Democratic whip, in the senate today de-
clared there was no agreement or under
standing between the United States and
Japan on the subject.
There is no alliance between the
United States and Japan of any kind
whatever said Senator Lewis.
" Whatever Japan is doing in relation
to the war is in pursuit of her alliance
of compact with Great Britain. What
ever Japan is doing in Siberia as
against Germany is in compliance with
the terms of an arrangement offensive
and defensive made with Britain to op-
pose any wrongful advance from any
source in the East against the rights
OF either

AMSTERDAM Monday. Russia and
the central powers in the peace treaty
reached at Brest.Litovsk agreed that the
war between them should be at an end,
Berlin dispatches say.
Article provides that Russia shall
WITHOUT delay carry out the complete de-
mobilization of her army, including the
forces newly formed by the present gov
eminent Russia will further transfer
her warships to Russian harbors and
leave them there until general peace
i declared. Warships of states continu.
ing in a state of war with the quadruple
alliance will be treated as Russian war
ships in so far as they are within Rus
sian control. The barred zone in the Are.
tic continues in force until conclusion oi

made for the removal OF mines in the
Baltic and in so far as Rus-ia's power
extends in the Black sea.

No Opposition to That Plan
in Annual Meeting of
Town Today
WOMEN TAKE PART
FOR FIRST TIME
to Speak in Town Meeting in Brat
tleboro-Carried Her Point-Impres
sive Patriotic Service.

Expected contests failed to develop in
reason in one instance being that the
man who was to make a nomination did
not arrive until the issue had been dis
posed of. This was in relation to the
candidates, John i. Howard and c. b.
Crowell. Mr.. Howard's name was pre-
sented by L. +. Holden, and no other
candidate was put forward, although the
chairman gave ample opportunity. The
other expected contest which went by
the boards was in relation to road COM
missioner. The duty of filling the office
was left to the selectmen, who will re-
engage Commissioner Arthur A. Wallace,
whose work has been so satisfactory the
past year, if they can make satisfactory
terms with him. No candidate for this
office was presented The selectmen also
were delegated to look after the towns
poor. Selectmen A. W. j. Wilkins was
returned TO Office for three years.
For the first time, women voted in town
meeting this year. Some 80 women vot-
ers were present during the business ses-
sion, while many women and girls who
were not voters had seats in the gallery.
Mrs. Fremont Hamilton was the only
woman to participate in the discussion,
which was ever the election of one of the
members of the board of trustees of the
Brattleboro Free library. and the side
which she championed won out in the test
of strength. Moderator 4. F. Schwenk
found himself saving Gentlemen" in ad-
dressing the voters, and he once apollo
giZed to the ladies and said he meant to
include them as we'll as the men. One
effect of the presence of the ladies was the
absence of smoking during the business
meeting. The tax rate for the coming
year i 46 cents, which is one cent higher
than the rate for the past two years. A
patriotic feature occupied nearly three
quarters of an hour, and it was time
profitably spent Except for this the
meeting would have been over in almost
record time
Following the formalities of the call
ling of the meeting 10 order by Mod
Ierator A. F. Sehwenk and the reading
lof the warrant by Town Clerk Carl S.
Hopkins, the moderator announced that
Miss Ethel A. Millington and Mrs. c.
l.. Sticknev had been appointed as bal
lot clerks to give out the printed ballots
on the license question. He announced
also that the ballot boxes for voting on
articles l and >, to see whether licenses
should be granted for the sale of liquor
and to see if licenses of the fifth class
should be granted, would be open un
til 3 clock.
: Passing then to article 5, to act on the
auditors report, after a noticeable wait
a motion that it be accepted and adopt
e ed was carried without discussion.

GRADE PUPILS TAKE
S1,O38.70 IN STAMPS
War Saving Campaign Started by the
Teachers Yields Results Exceeding
Government Expectations.

As a result of the war saving cam
paign started by the teachers and pu-
pills of the graded schools, 1863 out of a
total of Sl4 have enlisted. This means
that A per cent of the grade pupils in
district No. 2, West Brattleboro and
Ccnterville, own war saving stamps or
thrift stamps. In several rooms the
teachers have entered the contest with
the pupils, thinking in this way to
arouse enthusiasm. The total amount of
stamps thus far held by the pupils is
$1,03S.70 and average of $3.50 per pupil.
In the Esteyville school, out of an en-
rollmcnt Of % pupils IS have entered
the contest. This is far in excess of the
average of 25 per cent which the gov
crnment hopes to maintain throughout
the schools. Brattleboro hopes to reach
an average of 80 per cent. The pupils
/ are urged to invest their earnings not
only to help the government but that
i the habit of thrift may be acquired.
Grade 7, Main street, has chosen sides
under the names West Point and Annap-
oils, and there is great rivalry between
the two. Here are the latest figures bv
