Don Miss This!.

even the crash of shells, is the loneli- ness and homesickness arising from failure to get the ever looked for letter. Cecil Fruit, Mesa boy writing to his sister, sets this forth:
 How are all getting along at home have never received any mail since ar irving in France -nonths ago, so don't know whether they are getting my maii or not. 1 have written so often and have never received any answers, that l have about given up all hope of ever getting any letters from home
 If you receive this letter give my love to everybody at home and espe- cially mother. and tell her I think of her often."
 All of the above has a pathetic ring in it when it is known that all the members of the family have been writ ing constantly to the lonely boy in a hospital in a far off land

UNION ENTITLED TO RECOGNITION
Victory Won by Employees of Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Co.

New York, Aug. Employees of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company to day
won their demand for recognition of their
union, when Federal Judge Mayer, who
appointed Lindley NJ, Garrison receiver
for the company announced that it had
been established to the satisfaction of
himself and Public Service Commission
er Nixon that more than so per cent Of
the eligible employees were members of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
& Electric Railway Employees when the
strike was called last week
Judge Mayer made his announcement
in letter which he sent to Frederick P.
Royce, general manager for the receiver.
Mr.. Garrison is absent from the city on
vacation.
In the terms of the arbitration agree
ment under which the strikers agreed to
return to work, Mr.. Garrison stipulated
that recognition of the union should de-
pend on proof that 30 per cent of the eli
gible men were members of it. Judge
Mayer directed that the grievances of
the men be now taken up by officials
of the company and committee repre-
senting the union.

department of the Black Cat Textile
company underwear factory is closed be-
cause Of strike of the knitters, who
are out for demand for increased
wages, ranging from 10 to 30 per cent,
according to the grade of yarn used on
the machines.
The company has made an offer Of in
creases of 10 to Is per cent, but the offer
has been rejected The company officials
state that they viii endeavor to oper
ate the kitting department with other
operatives if they can be secured.
On July the company reduced the
week from 56A hours to 80 hours and
made an increase in wages of 1914 per
cent throughout the factory. The strike
comes at an inopportune time, as the
company officials state that but for the
closing of the knitting department they
would be in position to run the plant
100 per cent Of its possible production.
Other departments are in position to
run for several days, but unless the kit
ners return to work soon it, will be nee
cessary to close.

USING WHITEWASH ON
GERMANS nv CAVELL CASE
Claim Made by German Authority that
the Nurse Conducted 900 Men
Over the Border.

Copenhagen, Aug. l4-An attempt to
relieve German authorities Of blame for
,the execution Of the British nurse Edith
Cavell, in Brussels, on Oct Is, 1915, ia
made in an article printed in the Berlin
Deutsch Allgemeine Zeitung, received
here to-day The article, which it is as
serted, is based on documentary eyi.
dence, says Edith Cavell, as an assistant
Of Prince Reginald of Croy, abused the
trust placed in her as one engaged in
philanthropic work, by concealing officers
and men of allied .nationalties until they
could cross the frontier
Miss Cavel's guide, Gillies, is said in
the article to have conducted 900 men
over the border Sentence of death was
imposed upon Miss CayelI by the court
martial, it is asserted, by a unanimous
decision and the sentence was confirmed
principally because the Germans held the
nurse had been guilty of breach of
trust.

Case Against Chicago Trib-
une Delivered into Their
Hands at 9:55 A. M.
NO PRO-GERMANISM
HAS BEEN PROVED
Judge Tucker Defined Mean
ing of Anarchist" and
of Anarchy"

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. l4--The
jury which for three months has been
hearing testimony and arguments in
Henry Ford's $l,000,0O0 libel suit against
the Chicago Daily Tribune, retired to-
day to consider its verdict.
Judge James g. Tucker instructed the
jury that "the right of fair comment" is
expected in the case Of Mr.. Ford, because
his position as a great employer of labor
and entry as a propagandist into the dis
cussion of the preparedness question
made him public character.
The judge held that a newspaper has
no greater privileges in making comment
than has an individual.
The jury was instructed further to dis
miss the case against the Solomon News
company, which, on a purely technical
charge that it distributed in Michigan
20S copies of The Tribune issue OF June
%, 1918. containing the ALLEGED libelous
editorial, headed, Ford Is an Anarchist, /"
was made a codefendant.
Counsel for the plaintiff at the open
ing of the case announced that as the
solomon Brothers distributed the paper
in ignorance of its contents, no damages
were sought.
The jury was locked up at 9:55 a, m.
The Judge instructed that the plaintiff
charges of pro-Germanism against The
Tribune and of selfish interest in adyo.

been proven and the jury need not con-
slider il.
Judge Tucker gave the several defini.
tions of the words, "an anarchist" and
anarchy" but instructed thar it was
the duty of the jury itself to determine
in what sense the newspaper used the
words and what it would mean to its
readers
There were two defenses, he continued
II the jury finds that charges in the edi-
torial were true, that Mr. Ford was in
fact an anarchist and ignorant ideal
ist," it was complete defense, he said
The right of fair comment he instruct
ed was second defense to be consid-
cred only in event that the first defense
was inadequate. In the course of his
charge the court said
"The editorial, as it appeared in the
paper and standing by itself without ex-
PLANTATION is libelous, or, in legal terms
libelous per Sc (of itself
The defendant Chicago Tribune ad-
mits the publication, and insists that it
was true, and therefore justified; and
that even if not true, it was fair com
ment upon matter Of public interest,
either Of which defenses are sufficient ii

WAKING UP TO OPPORTUNITY
To Invest in the Peerless Knitting Mills
Proposition.

That those who reside outside of Barre
are interested in the Peerless Knitting
Mills company is shown by the people
that are coming in to the Board OF Trade
office. Yesterday there were several in
huiries and one person who lives outside
the state subscribed for $500 worth Of
stock. This shows that those who in
vestigate are convinced the proposition
is all right and that this is the kind Of
an industry that Barre needs. Local
people who realize that we must secure
employment for our women and girls in
order to keep them in Barre feel that we
must not let this opportunity go by.
Owners of real estate are aware of the
fact that any new industry locating here
will be of benefit TO them. In fact,
everybody who is interested in Barre
and its progress should make inquiries
and then subscribe for as much stock as
possible. This proposition must be put
through ard the Board of Trade feels
confident that with the interest shown
that everybody win eventually want
some of this stock As only S250,000
worth will be sold in Barre, those who
are interested should make application
at once. Call on or write the Secretary
of the Board of Trade room Rowland

yesterday between striking employees
and deputy sheritfs resulted in the injury

sions, believed to be dynamite blasts,
shook the works Of the plant to-day but
the extent of the damage was not known.
That the blasts were inside of the guard
ed works of the Keystone mills was ad-
mitted by officials of the company. :
The trouble dates back two months,
when the employees struck for higher
wages and a closed shop The company

NEW ENGLAND SHOPMEN
ARE At VARIANCE
Boston & Maine Men Are Not Disposed
to Resume Work Till Their Griev-
ances Have Been Adjusted.

Boston, Aug. l4-Traffic conditions on
the New England railroads after to-day
will depend largely on the count of bal
lots cast by mechanics and shopmen who
struck last Thursday and Friday for in
creased wages. Strike leaders said the
trend of sentiment on the question Of
returning to work had been made uneer-
tain by an apparent division of opinion
between employees of the Boston & Maine
railroad and those of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford.
Boston & Maine strikers, who voted
early in the week, were said to oppose
going back until their grievances had
been adjusted, but there were some indi.
cations that the New Haven men favored
the adoption of President Wilson's rec
ommendation for return.
Railroad managers report the freight
situation as somewhat improved by the
notifications of embargoes made effee-
tive yesterday. They said that 20 per
cent Of the accepted freight was being
moved promptly but that new restric.
tions should be expected because Of the
depreciation of rolling stock. Passenger
service schedules adopted Tuesday re-
manned unchanged.

in Chicago To-day.

Chicago, Aug, IA. - Several thousand

policy in regard to the strike, which was
called Aug. |, in defiance of the orders of
the international officers of the union,

journs. Local leaders urged the strikers
to refuse to return to work, while inter
national officials advised the men to call
off the strike and defer until later the
settlement of their demands for higher
wages.
Expulsion of all striking railway shop
men from the international organization
was threatened in telegram from b. Nj,

The telegram reads Make orders posi-

We cannot much longer delay, and if you
refuse to comply, will be compelled to
advise Hines and Wilson, if necessary,
that you do not belong to the organiza-
tion. If negotiations are resumed, strik-
ers will be deprived of benefits"

BOATING, BATHING AND
FISHING IN BERLIN POND
ORDERED TO BE ENDED

The Vermont state board of
health has promulgated an order
abolishing boating, bathing and
fishing in Berlin pond and its trib-
utaries. Berlin pond is the source
Of the Montpelier city water sup
ply.
Recommendation is made to the
city of Montpelier that it should
acquire the property surrounding
the reservoir and should fence in
the reservoir. A further recon-
mendation is made that plans
should be laid for piping water
from the big pond into reservoir
The action of the state board of
health in putting the ban on boat
ing, bathing and fishing in Berlin
pond will be calculated to spoil
that region as summer resort.
There are many summer cottages
on both sides of the pond.
