DANIElSON
 By mail Saturday morning there came to Private Philip Robcrse the| distinguished service cross that he won while a member of the 1o5d ma chine gun battalion while furious fighting was going on in Belleau wood last summer. The cross Is or bronze and bears the inscription For Valor and is suspended from heavy gros- grain ribbon. This cross is fitting mate for the French Croix de Guerre with which Private Roberge recently was decorated by representative or the French government The double honor won by Private Roberge is such that only a very few of the American forces who fought overseas can lay claim to. and his friends are parllcuo won on the field of action and not awarded for some meritorious service performed behind the lines.
 Report was made to Deputy sheriff C. E. Aver Saturday morning that touring car which was under attach ment and stored in a local garage had been stolen during the night Who- ever took the machine got into the garage by climbing through window at what is considered the back Of the building It was then an easy matter to open. from the inside. the big door leading to the street and get the car out. Other machines were moved the machine. The stolen ear is the one that figured in an accident here about two weeks ago when 1t was being driven by Daniel T. Mulcahy of Ware, Mass, and crashed into William Moran and Howard Elliott at Dayville, seriously injuring Elliott.
 Mulcahy endeavored to make get away after the accident. but was ap- prehended at Putnam, arrested and brought back here. Later. in the town court he was charged with reckless driving, not stopping at the scene or x,6 without permission of the owner It is understood that Mulcahy had only re- gently come into possession or the car at the time of the accident and that it cern in Worcester.
 Saturday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Aver said that no trace of the machine had been found. The car, !, which was dama ged in the accident 1 and had smashed radiator was not in good running order, though 1t could be operated. One theory is that it was wherever it has been taken behind i another machine. Attorneys who rep | resent the parties concerned in the suit that has been instituted for dam | ages on account of the accident were | called in consultation on Saturday | relative to the theft of the car.
 Mulcahy has been bound over until Oct. II under bonds of $1.000.
 No one who has been in touch with ! the case here is advancing any opin-l ions as to who stole the car. but it has l been pointed out that it will go hard with the persons responsible If they | are found out. To the charge of steal | ing the car another of burglary can be i added.
 There was heavy riding on cars be- | ing run through here Saturday after | noon by the Shore Line company. | cars operating between Danielson and wauregan and Central Village and l very much heavier on the Dayville end l than it was during either Thursday. !. day. On some of the afternoon trips | between Danielson and points south i there were so many passengers that some of them had to stand. Business men found their trade improved as the result of the influx of out of town buyers. some of whom said that they had been here only infrequently for i the past six weeks. though it was for merly their habit to come to Daniel 1 son regularly. The bus lines also con- tinued in operation and picked up much business.
 Upon his return here from Washing ton, where he has been attending the national convention of The Friends of Greece, the object of the society being to educate the American public on the just claims of Greece to Thraco and Epirus, George P. Berris gave out the following statement:
 The American people have. by moral and physical force. decided the mo- mentous outcome of the great war in favor of civilization and of justice But while the physical force of the powers of despotism and imperialism has been shattered by our efforts and those of our allies. imperialism and international injustice have not yet been completely crushed. At the peace conference at Paris gigantic strpg- gle is taking place. The rc9lpund political ideas and doctrines of the f1f, ,f,ir ,od right" are waging a desperate fight to prevail against the new political ideals which have had their birth in this new world.
 It seems that our people, after hay ing exerted their moral and physical might to win the war. are relapsing into indifference as to the great issues at Paris. The people of America have left the adjustment of the most stu pendous problems in the hands of a few representatives who. burdened with tho crushing weight of those. problem are staggering and often how to decide. Peace with Germany has been concluded. But peace with the allies of Germany-Bulgaria and Turkey-has not yet been brought to
 It is generally believed here that once peace with Germany has been concluded the American people need ao longer worry about the terms of peace with the smaller enemies. It is generally forgotten by our American people that the cause of the great war was Turkey and Bulgaria It is lost sight of here that Germany has pre- cipitated the horrors of war for the possession of Turkey and the ex- ploitation of the Balkan peoples.
 The fate of Turkey and of the Christian Balkan peoples is in the balance today. Today it will be decid- ed whether. peace in the near east will be established, whether the peace of Europe will be insured or whether the causes for new wars will be created which will involve our country again in a new struggle.
 Peace can be established in the near east only on the basis of justice to the near eastern peoples.
 America is bound to do justice to all races. but above all to see to it that those small Balkan nations. which haua stalcad their exisfAraca far
