A TALE OF DUPLICITY.

A remarkable tale of duplicity was
begun in the newspapers yesterday
through the release for publication of
the first installment of a series of com
munications between the German i'm
oerial government and the Russian boil
shevit government and between the
bolsheviki themselves, and also the re-
port thereon made to George Creel by
Edgar Sisson. the committees special
representative in Russia during the
winter of 1917-1S These documents
show that the present heads of the
bolshevik overnment-Lenine and
Trotzky and their associates-are Ger
man agents.
They show that the bolshevik reVo-
luton was arranged for by the Ger
man great general staff and financed
by the German Imperial bank and other
German financial institutions. They
'how that the treaty of Brest Litovsk
vas betrayal of the Russian people

Trotzky; that a German-pcked COM
mander was chosen to "defend" Pet,
rograd against the Germans; that Ger
man officers have been secretly received
by the bolshevik government as mill.

les of Russia 5 allies, as officers in the
Russian army, and as directors of the
Bolshevik military. foreign and domes

They show, in short, that the present
holshevik government is not Russian
government at all but a German gov
rnment, acting solely in the interest.
If Germany and betraying the Russian
people, as il betrays Russia 8 natura
allies, for the benefit of the imperia
| German government alone. And they
show also that the bolshevik leaders
for the same German imperial ends
ave equally betrayed the workin,
classes of Russia whom they pretend +
represent.

Somerset First Town.
barre Times.l

Somerset was the first town reported
through the special wire of the Associat-
ed Press Tuesday evening, and when
the report was first contemplated it
looked like a veritable landslide for
Howe with a zero after the names of
Clement and Darling and six for Howe.
Another of the six-vote towns in the
primary was Glastonbury in Benning-
ton county, and there the diversity of
public sentiment had developed to such
point that one man went and cast
his vote for Howe, two did the same
for Clement and three did the same
for Darling. So. you see that taken all
in all there were some remarkable situa.
tons in some of the small republics in
the old state of Vermont last Tuesday

change in occupancy always results in
the removal of rubbish from the dark
corners and in larger ventilation. We
have always insisted that publicity in

one of the chief elements of safety for

granted that Mr.. Clement rs governor

Col. Paul l.. j. Azan, one of the mem
bers of the French mission to this
country, cautions the American people
against expecting the reduction of the
German city of Metz by rapid fire
methods. He says: "Think not now
of Metz. Do not think that soon we
shall sweep there. To think that is to
bring disappointment. You say it is
but a short distance Soon the Allies
will be there. They will ultimately
reach their objective, but when, il

fighting, not in Metz, but toward there

come from you, for to tell you the |
truth, l have always loved the oriole
family because of their beauty.
What wonderful thing beauty is"
the Ophelia Rose continued.
''Yes, beauty is wonderful" said the |
Oriole. You know think that is the |
right word for it too"
'WonderfulT questioned the Ophe- |

"Yes," the Oriole answered.
81 don't just know why" said the
Ophelia Rose.
81 will tell you" said the Oriole.
The bird of the beautiful colors
perched himself on nearby branch
which was on low shrub. The
Ophelia Rose looked up at him. The
rose had been a bud but now it was
full blown rose of a salmon pink shade
with orange edges.
ST think" began the Oriole, as he
chirped a little to make his voice IN
good condition for his speech to the
Ophelia Rose, that beauty is very
wonderful. That have said before.
"But to me it is really something
to wonder at-that there can be SO
much beauty in the world. Think of
it! Think of it, Ophelia Rose.
.'In the spring there are the spring
blossoms peeping at the big world. The
trees burst into soft. yellow-green
leaves, then into darker, fuller, bigger
| green leaves.
SIN the summer the flowers all bloom
SO gloriously, us they are blooming
| now. The sun shines upon them. The
| rain gives them drinks of water to
| keep them fresh. The land, the gar
| dens, everything is very beautiful in
the summer.
"Then comes the autumn and the
leaves of the trees change color. They
are of many colors. some of brown,
some of red, some of yellow, some of
/ orange. They are very gay and bril-
liant and splendid as if they wanted
all the world to know that they were
ending off their summer visit in the
most glorious way possible.
"And next comes the winter with
the snow-beautiful white snow. The

trees are often covered with snow and

all sorts of beautiful pictures and the
world is lovely place.

oriole and the little ones. People love
each other, children love their daddies,
mothers, sisters and brothers, their pet
dogs and ponies.
And people love gardens so they
care for them and help make them
beautiful. All, yes" the Oriole said,

there seems to be so much beauty that

AMBASSADOR SHARP
TELLS OF Big GUN
Cables Paris Newspapers Comment
on Long Range Bombardment.

A statement appearing in the Paris
press regarding the bombardment OF
the French capital by long-range
German cannon was received by the
Department of State yesterday from
Ambassador Sharp at Paris.
Resumption of the bombardment OF
the city again yesterday morning was
reported in the cable as follows:
'"The enemy has fired on Paris with
a long-distance gun since 8 o'clock
this morning every quarter of an hour
and forty shells have reached the city
and suburbs. There are ten dead and
fifteen wounded. Means to combat the
enemy are in the course Of execution" /"
The dispatch, State Department off,
Gals said. probably referred to the
bombardment of Paris on Saturday.
No other confirmation of the lombard
ment of the city by a monster cannon
has been received either by the State
or War departments. Army and navy
ordnance officers still refuse to be-
lieve i'm the existence of such a mon
ster weapon, which is said to be ca
pable of hurting a shell seventy-five
miles.
One theory that has been advanced
impossible, is that the shells are be-
ing thrown upon the city from a near
by suburb by some mechanism as
yet unknown, which is noiseless "
comparatively so.

The chief feature objected to was
The provision making it unlawful for
licensed firm. corporation or cpm-
Dany to charge and receive a proht
exceeding 20 per cent of the actual
cost price OF the article or COM
modify sold on installment payments.
Mr.. Isaac Cans. chairman of the

provision would reduce the margin OF
profit on such articles to a point
where instaIlment houses would be
obliged to close their doors.
d. B. Casley, chairman of sub

remarked that statements had been
made to him which showed that the
collection Of such installment pay
ments alone ran to g per cent of
the cost price OF the article, exclusive
of the operative cost of the business
