.unns are desirous of peace. Their appeal leads one to believe they either had enough or fear the time is here when they will be given more than enough. They want an armistlce. They want to know what the final terms the Allies will offer. and all that, thus evincing great deslre to let go to free themselves from their masters grip that is about to strangle them. From their apparent haste for peace, we are led to be- lieve they are ready to accept thankfully any terms that will save their hides from perfora- tion.
 Right here if some of us had our way, we would want not only their extermination of most of them, bat the devastation of their countries also. We would want to take Berlin; Vienna and all other cities and towns and rule the boches with an iron rod for the next million years. As a matter of fact, our imagination fails to con- ceive proper punishment; and after we have raked our brains to devise ways and means to punish them sufficiently, we sit back and find that however cruel and exacting the punishment we would inflict, it wouldn't be half enough to even up matters.
 Cogitating over this matter, it occurs to us that the best way out of the predicament would be to let France, Belgium, Serbia and Rumania dictate the terms of peace Representatives of these countries should dictate, and whatever terms they would impose let the United States and Great Britain stand behind them. Should they demand the extermnation of every one of their enemies or make them slaves for their natu- ral life this should be fair to the other nations It were these countries that suffered the most it should be left to them to say what punishment should be meted out to the unprncipled murder CTS.

TT ISN'T RIGHT EITHER WAY.

The rough handling of a stacker the other evening has brought out remarks from men Who cannot be suspected Of being either slackers or pro-(1ermans condemning such action Ill upnls- takable terms And from what we have been able to learn from eye witnesses, those who mai treated the man went much too far out of thelr way. As a matter of fact, they should be pun ished severely. We have laws to regulate our every action and we have officials to enforce hese laws But if the men who are said to have violated the laws or order did so, where were the officials who are supposed to maintain order It cannot said that the lawbreakers hid Mob rule should not obtain anywhere and much less in g community like ours. Thus far ve have the officials to blame for the regrettable incident But there is another stde to this af- fair
 4 few days ago we read in dispatches where Germans pretending to surrender, watched for the opportune moment when they dropped their hands, reached for their weapons with which to kill our boys, and succeeded in killing several. These slacsers have been spunging on the coun- try now that their services are required they turn and run. Iii our opinion, they are in the s..n,e ciass as those Germans. Are we to stand here do nothing, become party to this class of traitors and allow our boys to be murdered? Which is just what we would be doing were we to remain passive when q man who should help refuses 10 hep What will our boys say when they return and learn that We have allowed slac,,ers to withhold their help while the boys comrades were being butchered by the Huns? They would 6e justified in putting us down as slaci,ers also
 The government hes repeatedly asked the citizens o@ the country to report slackers to the authorities slo ..ee considered pro-Germans, and therefore enemies e our country. There is a strict 3sw governing tse actions of all pro-Cier- man. | is Up then to the authorities to attend to them end not ,io0' mob 5o take a hand, for 2 moo as : general rule goes too far, like in this case.

Their punishment, however, should be meted out by the proper authorities and not by mob, which should be stopped.

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

The Presidents New York speech contains passages capable Of various Interpretations. German reader .aigh find n 1t the proposition that the close of the Germany will become of the league of nations enjoying all the privileges and authority of the rest Other clauses may be interpreted that after the there shall be economic commercial treaties between any nations involving exchange os privileges. The time has arrived in which more than broadly general statement be made to the Of the league Of nations and broadly general statement is open to various Interpretations.
 The outstanding definite statement in the Presidents address is the declaration that there be negotiations with Germany The Allies may individually collectively state their aims They may even declare the which they will stop the But they will bargain with Germany. When Germany gives up the Allies will have something say about he future Of Germany, but Germany will not have much Province.

sible on the hose wagon. AS the We
hicle drew up before the door, Assist
ant Chief John 2. Reedy jumped off to
remove chemical tank as he saw no
evidence of big fire He was imme-
diately greeted by the naked man who
inquired as to whether the fireman had
come to kill him. Not being familiar
with the circumstances Mr. Reedv
thought that some patient had been
crazed by the fire and had fed from
the institution, So as haste might mean
life or death to the many other sick
people in the institution, he continued
at his task of getting a chemical tank
ready for action. He was unprepared
for an attack from Choichina and re-
ceived severe bruise on one hand
when the man struck at him with the
swinging handcuff.
Having delivered the blow, Choichina
'beat it, through Nichols street and
down West street Hill. Near the cor
ner of Nichols he encountered Officer
Timothy Dwyer on his way to the hos
pital They collided but holding Cho-
ichina was like catching CREASED pig
and the officer did not stop him.
Arriving without further mishap AT
the depot, Choichina began an Grafton

him, meanwhile swinging the handcuff
menacingly. Many people on their way

an Italian workman employed at the

crazy man from behind and bore HIM
backwards Frank Seanlon, a ear oiler
for the Rutland railroad, gave the

ers were soon on the scene.
A terrific battle ensued before the
man was finally overpowered and load
ed into a wagon which conveyed him
to the police station. He was so strong
that seven men were required to hold
him down. Policeman p H. Conin
was bitten on the wrist in the tussle

DR.. j. NJ. Hamilton was called and
gave Choichina something to quiet him
Later DR.. Hamilton and Dr. F. H. Geb-

SUNDAY SCHOOL INCIDENT.
Superintendent and Lady Teacher Take
Turns at Snickering.

AS has been remarked, the laundress
invariably folds and irons the handker
chiefs SO the raggedest ones look whole
and immaculate as they lie piled up IN
the bureau drawer, and you don t know
the difference until you unfold your

Thompson of Howard, our Sunday
school superintendent, while reading
the announcement for the day. felt the
sudden approach of sneeze. He quick
" reached for his handkerchief, and
az he shook out its folds he discovered
that he had brought about the ragged
est rag he ever saw, and it scared his
sneeze away entirely. He hastily
crowded it back into his pocket, but
not until few had seen it, and one
dignified lady teacher almost snickered
out loud.
"a few minutes later the same lady
had occasion to use her handkerchief
and when she drew it from her hand
bag and shook it Quito, it almost fell

MANY CHANGES IN
BASEBALL TEAMS
Four Deals Involving 20 Players and
Sums Approaching Close to 100000
in American League.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3o.-If the present
epidemic of trades and cash deals con-
tinues in the major leagues it will be
necessary to supply the baseball fan
with a card index of the players when
the 1918 season opens. During no Gmi-
lar period of time in the history of the
National and American leagues has the
number of player shifts equalled those
ronsummated since the close of last
year : pennant races. Not only in the
number of players exchanged but in the
magnitude of the deals have new rec
ords been established Close to 40 play
ers and more than $4,000 in cash is
the aggregate involved and if the mag
mates statements are correct other sim
liar transactions are still to be COM
pleted.
In the American League four deals
/ involving 20 players and sums approach
! ing close to the 100000 mark have
| been made to date with an average of
five players to a deal The National
! league clubs have figured in an equal
number of trades but the average num-
! Der Of players concerned is not so high.
/ Less cash. however, was needed as 50
far as is known three of the five were
made without the passing Of either
checks or currency.
From a numerical standpoint the deal
between the New York and st. Louis
clubs Of. the American league heads the
list. Seven players are expected tC
change uniforms as a result of this
transaction. in addition to a sum OF
money, said TO be about $4,000, paid
TO st. Louis b. the New York mag
mates. The Philadelphia Athletic Bos
ton Red Sox transfers come next, SLY

lowed by the McInnis deal, which i
aid to include the exchange of thre,
Boston players for the Athletics frs
basaman Should such be the ease
the total would include 10 men in all
a record deal in modern baseball an

1900 tons deadweight capacity, which
were afioat and Immediately assigned
them to the task of carrying supplies

abroad.
Included in these requisitioned yes

and IN addition there were command

Another difficulty which faced the
United States in the task of putting tn
sea vessels to offset the ravages of the
U-boats was the repairing of the Twill

every seized vessel was now completely
repaired and in service Many Of
them have made three and four round

The announced sinkings of British
ships for the year up to and Including
the week ended Jan % have been
1888 vessels, of which 1853 were Of
more than 1000 tons, and 27O were
under that figure. The joint losses Of
