GERMAN-AUSTRO
PEACE PROPOSALS.

America thru her great leader ard
President has clearly defined in his
recent message to Congress the war
aims of this country and the peace
proposals that these enemies are try
ing to negotiate thru the Bolsheviki of
Russia will receive little attention.
Such proposals are only ruse on the
part of the Germsn-Austro govern
ments to gain more time hoping to
weaken the ties that bind the Allies
together and in the meantime strength
en- their powers to strike more dead
ly blow and win the war for autocracy
against the combined democracies of
the world. Let every man in America
stand firm in his desire to fight this
war to a finish for peace can only be
obtained thru victory over the enemy.

Win-the-War Rally.

The people of Newport were not
seriously alarmed by a few spatters
of rain Saturday night but gathered

bers and an abundance of enthusiasm
The parade formed on Main street
near Lanes block, marched up Main

and Second streets to Main street and
line of parade was made up as fol
lows: Mayor, A. H: Grout and Adj.
Sergt. Maj. F. Cardwell of vt Vol

of Mayor Emery as the presiding Of
ficer. AS usual Mayor Emery spoke
to the point and after prayer by Rev.

st. Johnsbury, state food administra-
tor, who made a brief address. He
was followed by Ex-Gov. Prouty, who
spoke very briefly that the speaker
Of the evening might have more
time.
Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson
Hale was then introduced and deliv-
cred her stirring address in a force
full eloquent manner, bringing the
war situation of Europe to us and
then told of some of the needs of the
Allies, laying emphasis on the time
when France had in hand a supply of
wheat to last 10 hours and of their
appeal to America for wheat and
then the food administrators re-
quest that we who have plenty of
food save wheat, fats and sugar that
our armies might be supplied and be
victorious.
All who were present were gener-
Gus with praise for the speaker.
The war chest and drive was then
explained by local business men and
pledge cards circulated. Results of
this drive will appear in a later
item.

Tragic Death Due to Auto.

While James Squires and daughte,
Winnie, were returning to thell
home Friday night about lO p. m.
they were struck by an automobile
and Mr.. Squires instantly killed and
Miss Souires thrown over the fence
and severely injured. Reports as TO
the extent of the injuries were quite
varied but it is credibly reported that
no bones were broken though 1t is
feared the spine is injured.
1t is said the accident occurred IN
the following manner. Claude Shu-
felt. who runs a public auto, received
a call to carry a Canadian officer to
Derby Line and as his motor was not
running quite right, he invited Rob-
ert Baker, who runs repair garage,
to ride up with him, thinking Baker
might detect the cause of the irregu-
laritv and a fried, Wayne Davis, &C
companied them for the ride. They
proceeded via the long bridge and
had Just reached point in the road
past the curve near the Abel house
when he struck Mr.. Squires and
daughter, who were walking In the
same direction but were on the lett
side of the road near the fence, Kill
ing Squires and injurlng the daugh-
ter. Occupants of the car judge the
speed not to have been over rs miles
per hour, but from where the body
lay to a point in the road where the
brakes held the wheels was SO feet
and ruts are said to show that the
brakes held and the wheels skidded
for SO feet beyond that point: Help
was summoned Immediately to care
for the injured. Shufelt was arrest
ed and lodged in Jail for hearing,
No excuse for the accident can be
offered other than that possibly the
driver was giving his attention TO
the car and not to the road, for the
pedestrians were seen by the others
in the car, who yelled, "look out"
1t is persistently reported that
Shufelt was intoxicated.
