STOWE GIRL INJURED.
Was Whirled Around By Engine Running
the Separator

Stowe, Feb. Doris, the daughter,
aged nine years, Of Mr., and Mrs. Francis
Paul OF West Branch, went to the home
of Harry Z. Harlow Friday morning for
the days supply Of milk. While waiting
for Mr.. Harlow to strain the milk the
child, it is supposed, backed against the
engine used for running the separator
and was caught by her clothing and car
ried around the wheel, her head striking
the door with great force on the way.
Mr.. Harlow fortunately was at hand
but the child had been carried part way
around the second time before he could
stop the engine and rescue her She was
unconscious when taken up, remaining
so for 20 minutes, and seemed to be in a
dazed condition for some time after, but
recovering from that her condition was
found not to be serious She was suffer
ing from a severe headache and bruises
on the head and face, but was otherwise
uninjured A heavy coat that the child
wore was torn to pieces, sweater was
torn somewhat and the skirt of her dress
was torn from the waist. Mr.. Harlow
was hit with such force by the child on
her way around the wheel that he was
considerably lamed, and milk pail,
with which she came in contact, was
jammed out of shape

Preliminary Peace PROPOSE
tions Likely to Be Sub
mitted Feb. II
WHEN ARMISTICE
IS AGAIN RENEWED
Advance of Movement Indi-
Gated by Designation of
U. S. Troops to Stay

Paris, Feb. tby the Associated
Pressl Preliminary peace terms will
probably be presented to Germany along
with the conditions for further renew
al of the armistice this month. Recogniz-
ing the need for return of the world
to normal peace time basis, the nations
associated against Germany are con
sidering making a start toward the aetu-
al peace treaty by inserting some of the
elementary terms into the terms which
will be submitted to the German armi-
stice commission on Feb. II.
This decision is reflected also in the
examination now under way to deter
mine what American troops should be
kept in occupied territory. The plan is
TO get them all out as soon as it seems
advisable and it has been thought that a
start might well be made in laying down
the terms of peace Some officials who
have been closely studying the situa-
tion believe that the aru1istiee itself
might well' be developed into a peace
treaty, just as they think a society of
nations might be developed out of the
deliberations of the peace conference.
President Wilson is known to have ex-
amined this view and contemplated its
possibilities.

done away with. The speaker said he
expected to have some of his audience
gasp when he told them there ought to
be minimum salary of ST 200 a year
for the teaching force of the country and
that teachers should not be asked to
raise themselves by their own boot
straps" into a position in which they
might become successful teachers. He
added that the time would come when
that same audience would call him an old
fogy for setting such small minimum
as the goal for teachers aspirations, <
said that every parent ought to de 70
that the teacher who had charge ~ 4
or her children should be as We ~ as
is the carpenter or the railroad Jloye.
McAdoo raised the wages of the railroad
workers in order that the railroads might
run; the salaries of the teachers ought
to be aised so that the children may be
taught to the best advantage.
To meet this emergency in education
which he had outlined, Professor Strayer
urged the establishment of department
of education in the United States gov
ernment, a bill for which is now before
the Senate, together with the appropria-
tion of Sl00,000,0 900, 'paltry sum" said
the speaker, as amounts are considered in
Washington at the present time. The
speaker said that there must be equality
Of opportunity in every part Of the Unit
ed States for the children to become edu-
Gated and that there must be equaliza-
tion of the burden OF support of the
schools and the cost of the upkeep Of
the schools must be assessed on the abil-
ity to pay. A national department of
education is absolutely needed to solve
the problem Of education, and Professor
Strayer closed by urging the people in
the audience to impress upon Senators
Dillingham; and Page that they 1.-THE Yer.

The evenings program closed with the
singing of Good Night" by the school

r,7oo JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
Their Certificates Have Been Distributed
to Them.


Major Harvey Z. Goodell this week
finished signing 100 justice of the peace
certificates, and they were delivered to
the representatives of the different towns
in the House, who, in turE sent them to
to the different justices in their various
towns. Most of the spare time for a oou-
pie of days was occupied in the signature
work, while the stenographers were kept
busy getting them ready to be signed.
Roswell Austin up to the present time
has enjoyed q monopoly in reading mes
sages from one brancif OF the legislature
to the other. He reads the messages
from the House to the Senate, but, owing
to the illness Of Assistant Seertaery NJ.
G, Taft, Mr.. Page has been handicapped
in his work and the Senate messages to
the House have not been read. Thus far
no message has been formally received
in the House from the governors office.
The reading of the messages is one of
the oldest forms about the State House
and is the only method by which the
members OF the House can readily follow
up the action on the bills and resolu-
tions; so the lack of messages being
read has caused some comment in the
House.
II. G, Barber retired to-day as attor-
ney general after four years in the Of

tleboro. Because the work has been
mostly in this section this winter, the
children have been in school in Mont
pelier. Last night several of the states
attorneys, who have matters under CON
sideration, met with Mr.. Barber and the
new attorney general, f. c. Archibald,
and the work which they have to do in
the coming months were discussed. To-
day, Mr. Barber and Mr.. Archibald went
over the work.

HALL WILL TAKE STAND
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Man Accused of Numbering His Wife Will
Tell His Story in Maine Su
preme Court.

Saco, Me, Feb Henry H. Hall, pas
tor of the Baptist Union church at Wells
Depot, who is accused of the murder of
his wife, will take the witness stand in
his own defense, his counsel announced
at the continuation of his trial in the
supreme court to-day.
Mrs. Hall died June II last, after fall
ing from railroad trestle to a stony
stream. Her husband said she had fall
en- because of dizziness. The state has
endeavored to show that discolorations
found on the throat when her body was
exhumed, months after her death, could
have been caused only by a throttling
hand, and that this alleged choking by
her husband contributed to her death.

CRIMES NEGLIGIBLE,
COMMANDER REPORTS
When the Total Number of
American n Soldiers Who
Are in France Is Taken
into Consideration.

Washington, Feb. l.--Gen. Pershing
in an official telegram to Secretary Baker
to-day characterized the sensational re-
ports in French newspapers of assaults
and burglaries having been committed in
Paris by American soldiers as gross
eXaggerations.
The number of crimes committed by
American soldiers, he said, was almost
negligible considering the large number
of men in the vicinity. He recommended
that a full refhItation of the charges be
put before the American public.
Since the conclusion OF the armistice,
the report added Paris has offered at
traction to men mischieyously and Grim
, inally inclined and this has resulted in
minor disturbances, but the American
military police organization is excellent
and disorders are kept at minimum.
General Pershing's cablegram, as made
public by the department, follows:
reference your telegram number
2578, personal knowledge of conditions
and investigation since receipt of your
telegram shows that sensational reports
as to assaults and burglaries by Amer
Jean soldiers are gross exaggerations.
Crimes by American soldiers in Paris
are almost negligible, considering the
large number of men in the vicinity. The
same may be said as to conditions
through France.
''Since the conclusion of the armistice
Paris offers attractions to men mis-
chievously and criminally inclined. Nat
urally there are minor disturbances in
Paris. But the American military police
organization is excellent and the dis
orders are kept at minimum.
'None of these are traceable in any
respect to faulty pay systems. No pen
niless soldiers are found in Paris There
are individual cases Of delayed payment
due to a change in pay system which
took place during hostilities, The new
pay system enables a soldier to get pay
from paymaster when money is due him.
Generally speaking the pay has been al
most always correct. The pay depart
ment has been sending officers TO find
casuals at our hospitals and elsewhere
with directions to pay men whose rec
ords are entirely lost
"Full refutation of the charges made
regarding crimes and disorders in Paris
cannot be put too strongly before the
American public"
