WEBSTERVILLE MAN
KILLED IN ACTION
CITED FOR BRAVERY
Private Arthur E. Miller Volunteered to
Garry Important Message Through
Heavy Gun Fire and Was on
His Return When Killed.

Some of the circumstances surround
ing the death in action Of Private Ar.
thur T.. Miller of Websterville near
Sergy, France, Aug. !, 1918, are revealed
in an official citation by the war depart,
ment to-day announcing that a distin.
guished service medal had been awarded
post-humously, The young man died
while returning with the answer to a
very important message which he had
voluntarily delivered at a critical time
of the attack, subiecting himself TO sex

ing him TO the most advanced position
through a sweeping fire Of artillery and
machine guns. Home address, Mrs Mary
Miller, mother, Websteryille, VT"
Those in Barre and Websterville who
were acquainted with the young man
are unanimous in the belief that he
would have been just the one to volun-
tesr for the dangerous mission, in the
performance of which he lost his life,
for he was a conscientious fellow deter
mined and with a high sense of duty. In
Spaulding high school, where he was a
student, he was a hard worker and over
came many handicaps, graduating in
June. 1914, at the age of Is years.
Private Miller had resided in Web
sterville practically all his life, having
been brought there when a baby by his
parents, who moved from Leeds, P. O.,
where Arthur was born Oct. l3. 1895
He was a member of the Baptist church
in Websterville and as a young man held
positions in the Sunday school of that
church.
He enlisted Feb. 4, 1918. and was sent
to Camp Greene, n. c., where he trained
for few months, going overseas in May
as a member Of Co. B. 47th infantry. He
had not been long in overseas service
when he gave up his life in the brave
manner heretofore described.
Private Miller leaves, besides his par
ents, three brothers and three sisters
they being Harry, James, Maurice, Irene
Annie and Adelia. The young man was
highly regarded and the announcement
by the war department of his citation
for bravery will give his friends a sense
of satisfaction for they know that he
was deserving Of the distinction thus
given him.

PLAN TO NEUTRALTZE
AUSTRIA DISCUSSED
This May Be Accomplished More Readily
in Austrian Tyrol Because of Pro-
lection 1t Would Afford
to Italy.

Paris, Friday, March l4.--Unoficial
discussion of the possible naturalization
of Austria is continuing here. The plan
apparently has strong support among
the Austrian conservative forces. espe.
cially the church and the Christian So
cialists.
The movement for the naturalization
of the Austrian Tyrol is more definite
than that for the remainder of Austria,
because of the protection such neutral
ization would afford Italy. 1t is also
suggested that the Austrian canton of
Voralberg be annexed to Switzerland.
The Swiss are uneasy over the pos
sibility of a union between Germany
and German Austria and unofficiallv
have advised the peace delegates of the
Swiss view that the virtual development
of Switzerland by the Germans under
such plan would threaten Switzerland's 5
future. ..-s....-.

reported drowned in the sinking of the
American naval transport Yselhaven
which struck a mine at ] :35 o'clock Fri

was built in Rotterdam in 1916. She was
taken over by the United States shipping
board after the United States entered

sEpARATE PEACE TREArIEs.

Paris, Friday, March IA tBy the As.
sociated Press The British program at
the peace conference il understood to
contemplate the signing Of separate pre-
liminary treaties with the central allies
as soon rs possible after Germany is
disposed of. Next would come the con
sideration of any amendments to the
present constitution of the league of ma
tions and then the league would be
whipped into permanent shape. The
final peace treaty would follow and
would include the league Of nations plan.
The leading thought among the British
now seems to be to strip the prelimi-

that document so that the world can be-

SPAULDING CONTENDER
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Victory Over Waterbury Last Night Puts
the Team in Running for the
Decisive Game.

A basketball game at Waterbury be-
tween Spaulding high school and Wa
terbury high school at Waterbury last
night ended with. the score of 20 to IA
in Spaulding's favor. The game was very
fast though many fouls, both personal
and otherwise, were called on both
teams Randall, the new center for Wa
terbury, out jumped Lille at center sew
eral times during the game, a feat which
has not been accomplished by any other
opponent during the basketball season,
Probably one of the best features of
the game was a basket made by Car
penter, when he shot the ball from the
extreme end of the hall, it dropping
through the cage without touching the
hoop. McHardy, though not at his usual
pace at raising the score for Spaulding,
shot eight out of nine fouls.
The Waterbury team made it a very
interesting game for Spaulding and kept
the Barre team in constant fear lest it
should not be able to prove to Mont
pelier that it had the superior team. But
with the thunderous roofing of the hun
dred or more Spaulding students, Spauld-
ing came through with victory, and is
now entitled to play Montpelier high
school for the Northern league cham
pionship. This game, it is expected, will
be played at Morrisville, but as yet no
definite date is known.
The Iine-up is as follows.

TEST CoNSTITUTIOEALITY
OF WARTIME PROHIBITION

New York, March 10 -Prelimi-
nary action toward testing the
eonstitutionality of the wartime
prohibition act was taken in the
filing here to-day of stockhold-
ers' suit in the federal court
against the James Everard's brew
cries. The complainant, Joseph L.
Everard, asked the court for an
order restraining the defendant
from suspending its manufactur-
ing activities on May | next, and
its sale July |, as required by the
federal statute.
The complaint alleges that the
emergency prohibition clause of
the agricultural bill passed Nov.
81, 1918, is unconstitutional as a
measure intended to safeguard the
national security and defense, in
asmuch as the armistiee had been
signed, hostilities ceased, and or.
ders had been given preliminary
to reduction of the military forces
before that date.
