POLISH ARMY BARS
WAY TO BOLSHEVTSH
Nations Entire Forces are Marshaled
Along the Russian Frontier to
Prevent Spread.

Rome, Monday, Dec. 20. Poland has
her entire army marshaled along the
Russian frontier to form barrier
against the western spread of bolshe.
yism, according to an interview with
Cardinal Karkawski, archbishop of
Warsaw, printed in the Corriere de
Italia. The cardinal says, however
that Polish detachments are too weak
to withstand the pressure from the
east, which he says may last from 20
TO rs years.
"Bolshevism is not understood, even
by Socialists says the cardinal SO
cialists identify bolshevism as maxi
malism, which is great mistake Max
imalism is a positive program Of gov
ernment aiming to the securing of the
maximum claims of the proletarst.
Bolsheyism, instead, has no positive
aim, its program being merely mega
tive one, namely to destroy everything
like traditional Russian nihilism. The
only ideal Of bolshevism is the brutal
blindness of ignorance. One of the
most common cries of the bolshevist
is: Down with all who know how to
read and write
France and Italy understand our
situation" he continues, "but England
does not understand so well"

CITY MEETING IN MONTPELIER

Negotiations.

pose Of aseertaining whether the voters
Of Montpelier will give the city council
authority to change the running time
Of the traction company from 40 min

has been raised whether the voters can
do anything in the matter, in view Of
the fact that the city charter provides
that the council must agree with the
traction company upon a project and
then present it to the voters for ratif-
cation in case any change in the run

As minutes.

the whole matter would then befn the

TO FREE A TOLL BRIDGE.

dler Of Waterford, A. n Bell Of Lunen-

at Montpelier with Governor 7. w.
Clement. relative to the elimination Of
the toll bridge which is about half q
mile from Waterford and extends over
the Connection river into the town OF
Littleton, \. II.
The bridge is owned by corporation
and has been a very paying PROPOSE
tion, large dividends having been paid
until recently, when the corporation re-
duced the scale of toll prices for cross
ing the bridge 1t is on the direct route
from Barre aud Montpelier to the
White mountains by way of st. Johns.
bury.
Under the provisions Of the Vermont
laws the state can pay $4,000 towards
the elimination of the bridge, and New
Hampshire pays il like sum, making a
total OF $4,000 from the two states
and as the corporation asks $4,000 for
the bridge, it means that the rest OF
the money has to be raised from other
sources. Waterford gave $500, while
Iittleton gave the remaining sum to
meet the prices OF the corporation, SO
it is expected that when Governor
Clement gives his approval, as it is pro
vided may be done by the statutes, the
closing of the deal will take place.
This bridge is a very essential one.
1t is the only one between Barnet and
Lunenburg. The l5-mile falls are be-
tween the Barnet bridge and the Wa
terford bridge The bridge spans the
Connecticut river at considerable
height above the water, 1t is an iron

There is little prospect OF action un-
