GAMES
ON SCHEDULE
FOR FAIRBANKS

Four games are on the schedule
for the Fairbanks A. A. team of st.
Johnsbury during the coming week.
On Wednesday the team plays IN
Groveton, N. H., and on Saturday
tours to Sherbrooke, Que, for re.
turn game with the strong team OF
that city. The games between the TWO
teams now stands two to one IN Ia,
vor of st. Johnsbury. 1t is expected
that big crowd will go to Sher-
brooke Saturday for this game. ,
The team will spend Sunday and
Monday at Three Rivers, Que, play
mo a game with the team of that
town on Sunday and Monday.
Manager Hoernle of the Fairbanks
team has given the Caledonan- Re-
cord an explanation of the cancelllng
of the game with Woodsville last
Saturday. AT 2.30 o'clock when 1t
was necessary to make-a decision IN
regard to holdinp the game, it was
raining hard after there had been al
most continuous showers throughout
the day. Manager Hornle called the
Woodsville team on the "hone and
called the game off.
Half an hour later the sun came
out clear and warm and it looked like
an ideal afternoon. He called
Woodsville again and it was agreed
that the team would come to st.
Johnsbury and announcement was
made that the game would be at 4.30
O'Clock. Before that time it clouded
up again and looked like rain. When
the team was just about to leave
for the Campus the Woodsville
management called on the nhone and
said they were unable to get autos
and get their players together and
that they would have to call the
game off.
This series of disappointments was
no reflection whatsoever upon the
| management of either team. Mr.
Hoernle did the best he could to have
the game played as scheduled and the
Woodsville management did likewise
1t is hoped that these two strong
teams will be able to arrange another
game at an early date.

Rain swept through the streets
during the hours when crowds were
trying to make their way TO work.
Automobiles parked at curbs either
were foated away or stood with their
floors flooded. Reports of storm
damage from neighboring points have
not been received as telephone service
was temporarily handicapped and
electric cars ran with difficulty.
City authorities estimated the dam
age to wrecked pavements to be close
of 100000. A number of streets are
out of commission, the block surfacing
on one street floating into the lobby
of an office building. Damage was
heavy to buildings, one collapsing.
From all parts of the city distress
calls are being received. Several per-
sons were in danger of drowning
when they fell into the water when
attempting to cross the street.

MOTOR BOATS
COLLIDE NEAR
= MIDDLE OF LAKE
Lucky Escape from Serious
Accident on Lake
MemphremagOg

A remarkable escape from DAN
gerous situation was made by Char
les Moore and party of friends IN
his powerful gasoline launch,
Mountain Maid" on Thursday night
when the craft was struck by another
boat on Lake Memphremagog nearly
opposite the boys camp managed py
Harry Dane.
The launch was travelling along at
a moderate speed with Mr. Moore at
the wheel. Another boat, travelling
more swiftly, approached the
Mountain Maid" from the right and
attempted to cross her bows. When
the boats came rather close together,
MI Moore realized thata collision
was imminent and swung his launch
to the left.
A Noyes boy, the operator Of the
other craft, which belonged to his
father, Clarence E. Noyes of Broad
view Farm, was not payino strict at
tention to the guiding of the boat,
and hes truck the Mountain Maid"
forward on the right side, making
quite a hole. Fortunately, the
people in the Moore boat had pres
ence of mind enough to stay on the
left side, raising the hole out Of
water, and in that manner it was
driven straight to shore. 1t was by
this means alone that they avoided
sinking in the middle of the lake.
The boat was left on the shore and
the return to Newport was made by
other means.
The broken boat came back to its
boathouse later on, and carpenters
have been at work on it for couple
of days and have succeeded in des-
troying all traces of damage. The
Moves boat suffered a splintered bow,
but no leaks or other damage result
ed.
Operators of motor boats on Lake
MemphremogoP complain of the
canoes which travel without any
lights and making no noise. is
remarkable, they say, that more col
lisions do not occur between motor
boats and canoes, and several close
shaves have been noted recently at
this end of the lake.

proceed about 1t according to pro-

restraint is worthy of note. 1t
means much in these days when
there exists such u wide spread

In that way lies great power in the
hands of those who make up the

brave men and recognized as SUCH

This program has far different
sound from that of the Fosterites
and other ''borers- from within" who
would turn over the government, the
industries and the natural resources
of the country to labor as class to
use as they saw fit, but with them
selves as the chief beneficiaries The
present OUTLAW railroad strikes
bear strong resemblance TO the meth
obs of this group and it is of some
significance that the railroad broth
erhoods. the regular" employees, have
asked the assistance and cooperation
of the government in dealing with
them. If the better and saner ele-
ments in organized labor can put
forth a program like the one sug-
gested in the answer to the RemIb-
lican QUESTIONABLE and will stick to
it, they will deserve recognition for
bringing the labor organiza ton back
to its original mission.

Only England Objects.

Paris has quietly corrected the
impression given by the dispatches
few days ago which represented
that all>the Allies were opposed to
her occupation Of the German cite.
in the Ruhr region.
The truth Of the matter is tina,
England is the only one which has
made protest. Belgium has given
France assurance of her cooperation
and has already sent a detachment
TO assist the French. No official
communication from Washington
concerning the occupation has been
received at the French foreign ONCE.
Neither has any been received from
Rome. while Japan has said she has
no objection to French occupation of
Frankfort and other German cities.
The French answer to England
simply explains that France felt
that violations Of the peace treaty on
the part Of Germany had gone far
enough and she called halt. She
reminds England that no faith can
be put in German promises and

points out that her own position ana
that of Belgium are quite differen,
from that of England.
Unless there are new Developments
the situation should be relieved
within a few days. The German
troops have offered no resistance to
the French, but have devoted their
attention to the red element. which
has been so weakened that it is SAID
to be no longer. dangerous. In the
ordinary course of events the Ger
man troops should withdraw as soon
as order is restored and the French
occupation is solely to guarantee this
very thing.
The situation between France and
England arises out of a difference of
opinion on policy. but is not expected
to lead to anything but a speedy and
amicable understanding. Certainly
these TWO nations cannot afford to
give Germany and all the other
forces of disorder the advantage tina,
any other situation would produce.
