TRIBUTE TO LIEUT.. WEIGH
Paid by the Leets Dale Pa.) High
School of Which He Was Principal

School of Which He Was Principal
The following tribute in memory of
Lieut.. Joseph W. WEIGH, who was Fill-
ed in action inFrance during the early
months of the fighting last year, has
been pad by t',s student body of the
Leets Dale PA. High School, of which
Lieut.. Welch was principal previous
to enlisting in the army, the letter be-
ing addressed to the mother of the de-
ceased soldier at Min. Lake Park, and
being as follows:
"Our society has been named the j.
W. WEIGH Literary Society, and the
entire program of December oath was
dedicated to your son. Several of the
letters he had written to friends here
were read, and the following poem,
composed by one of his Garrett coun-
ty friends, was also read:
In Memory of Lieut.. Joseph w. WEIGH
He sleeps now, never to waken,
His battles are fought and won;
And the journey forever is ended
That he in his youth begun.
But the grand old flag that he carried
And persisted for in the fight
Is going on until victory
Shall bless the cause of right.
When he, in deadly battle,
Faced his country's heartless foe
He fought until Deaths grim visage
Silently babe him go.
Then he shrunk not, never faltered,
But with courage flaming high,
Answered gladly that last summons
For humanity to die.
Oh, the sadness that swept DER US
When the telegram we read:
"Your soldier boy is numbered
With the heroes-he is dead"
But the Father saw our sorrow;
He has heard our constant prayer
For our soldier boys well-being
AS he struggled over there.
And, in mercy and compassion,
He has called the one we love
From world of sin and sorrow
To happier home above
All we have is just the mem'ry
Of the bright-faced soldier lad
AS he looked as we last saw him
In his country's khaki clad.
But that memory is precious
Dearer than al words can tell;
Freedoms banner upholding
For Democracy he fell.
No more glorious death is given
Than was his, across the sea
Falling to protect Old Glory,
Helping keep the whole world free.
All the wealth the world can offer
Is but dust beside the life
He has offered up so bravely
In the thickest of the strife.
Great will be the consolation
In the future years to say:
eve had once a manly soldier,
But, in battle far away,
"On the altar of his country
That greatest gift of all he laid;
And, protecting US from danger,
Sacrifice supreme he made.
Drawer he than any German
Who on battlefield eer trod;
They have struggled long in conquest
But he died for Right and God"

Bolsheviki, Trapped
BY Americans, Are
B adly Defeated
Attempt to Gut Dvina-yaga
Line Frustrated by Allies;
Enemy Walks Into Snare
Set by L. S. Machine Guns

ARCHANGEL, March Is { By The As
sociated Press).-The futile attack
which the Bolshcviki delivered yestcr-
day on the Allied and American forces
was the first serious attempt to cut the
line of communications of the Dvina
and Vaga columns. The attempt was
not only frustrated, but the Bolshevik
forces suffered severe defeat and
sustained heavy losses.
Moving from the Kadish- -Tarezvo
sector, the 1st Battalion of the 9Th
Soviet Regiment, 500 strong, attacked
at 1 AS o'clock in the afternoon the
Allied positions in the village of Gorka,
which is twenty-five miles north of
Beresnik, at the junction of the Vaga
and the Dvina.
Americans Rout Foe
The American Russian detachment
decisively repulsed the enemy, cap
turing five prisoners and five ma
chine guns during the fighting. Af-
ter the attack the bodies of fifty-seven
Bolshcviki were found. The Allied
force suffered only one casualty, a man
wounded.
The Vaga sector, ir the vicinity of
kltsa, is quiet; the other fronts are
also quiet.
American officers who returned to-
day from the Vaga front said that the
Bolshevlkl sustained exceedingly heavy
losses last week. They related one in
stance of such losses to the correspon-
dent. 1t occurred after the enemy had
RACED with artillery fire nearly all the
blockhouses in Vistavka.
Enemy Is Trapped
All the defensive troops withdrew,
with the exception of squad of Amer
leans, who lay concealed with machine
guns in partially destroyed block
house. The enemy scouts advanced and
were permitted to cut the barbed wire
entangl clements. On doing this they
shouted back to their comrades that
the village had been abandoned.
When the first column of the Boil
sheviki walked unsuspectingly up to
the entanglemcnts, the Americana in
side the blockhouse turned their ma
chine guns loose and moved down the
entire enemy party. After this the
defensive forces went back into Wis
tavka.

reported that ten are prisoners in the

BERLIN, March 16.-Various fore
casts of peace terms emanating from
Paris during the week have created a
feeling Of desperation here, and the
Ebert government evidently is prepar-
ing the public mind for rejection of
the terms by Germany Press discus
sions, apparently inspired, insist that
Germany must not accept the terms
on the ground that some which it is
understood will be imposed are inca
pabie of fufiment and Germany by
accepting them would be exposing her
self to further charges of bad faith
and the breaking of obligations.
The course of the German delega-
ton when it reaches Paris evidently
will be to demand strict conformity
with President Wilson's fourteen
points. and if unheeded to refuse to
sign the treaty and leave to the asso-
ciated governments the responsibility
of taking further measures.
Even the continuance of the block
ade and further occupation of Ger

ffurter Zeitung," to the terms of peace
foreshadowed in dispatches from Paris,
This paper regards Bolshevism as
Germany's fate in either case, and
says it makes little difference whether
Bolshevism comes as an effect of peace
or the result of the smot herring of
Germany by onerous peace conditions
The "Zeitung' also processes to see in
the course of the peace conference an
effort Of Western capitalism to letter
Germany, and adds:
"lf we cannot succeed in breaking
the letters, it will not be the Soc alsts
of to-day, but the Bolshevists of to-
morrow who will be driven to cx-
tremes."
