Strategy and Relief Work.

Since rehabilitation the United
States, aside from its part in the
watch on the Rhine, has been repre-
sented abroad chiefly BY its relief
work. multitudes of lives have been
saved by the Red Cross and the various
relief missions, and still more could
have been accomplished if work well
begun had not so often been interrupt
ed by political troubles or military vi
cissitudes. All the records of the war
for retreating must have been beaten
by these devoted workers. whose labors
for humanity have been too little no.

some such catastrophe has occurred.

COOLIDGE MADE
A LITTLE SPEECH
Governors Father Led the
Parade, Carrying the
Stars and Stripes

Plymouth, July l6-Citizens of Yer
mont gathered in this little village of
the most rural and rugged backwoods
section of the state yesterday to ex
tend their congratulations to Governor
Coolidge of Massachusetts, upon his
nomination as the Republican candi
date for vice president.
The occasion was AN open house,
to which Governor Coolidge as a native
of this town, spending quiet vaca
ton here before the strenuous days Of
campaigning ahead of him, had extend
ed general invitation to all Vermont
ers.
The governor and Mrs Coolidge
greeted each guest Individually on the
lawn of the home of John G. Coolidge,
the governors father, and in a brief
address the governor expressed his
appreciat ton of the honor shown him
by the citizens in their attendance.
The reception was preceded by pa
rade, headed by the governors father
carrying the stars and stripes, and the
Ludlow band, the procession vending
its way past the home to the school
house. Lemonade prepared by the
Coolidges' housekeeper, was served in
Vermont style The weather was IDEAL
Governor Coolidge was introduced by
National Committeeman Earle $. kins-
ley, who referred to him as "the most
distinguished son of Vermont, the next
vice president of the United States. -
And as the governor stepped forward
to speak he was greeted by cheering
and waving of hats which continued
for five mia dtes.
u want to thank you for the reeep-
tion you have rendered to me" he said.

ONE GIRL KILLED
As RESULT OF STRIKE
Fifty Other Persons Injured in Chicago
Because of Street Car
Strike.

Chicago, July ia l4-ycar-old girl
was killed and probably fifty persons
were injured yesterday in automobile
accidents resulting from congestion
caused by an expected strike of ls2
street car electricians.
The girl was killed when a motor
truck, carrying 40 persons to work,
crashed into telegraph pole.
Union officers said the strike would
affect 5000 workers, but the company
declared il could maintain partial serv-
ice yesterday through non union en-
ployes and would be in complete oper-
alton to-day.
Operation of the elevated lines,
which were not affected by the strike,
prevented a complete tie-up of trans
pertation in the early hours, when no
surface cars were running
Union officials said the strikers were
demanding increases in pay of about 30
per cent. The strikers also expressed
dissatisfaction over working conditions
and declared that non-union men had
been employed by the company.
