Postmaster Miller told the report
er that these are what are know as
24-mile routes. That of Mr.. Pollard
is extra long. There are just an even
900 boxes on the routes and it is es-
timated that they serve 1000 or more
people.

any farmer on a Z. +. d. route and
ali he has to do is to leave a proper

This is Il method of eliminating the
middle man which has not yet been
realized by the buying public, which
is having u great deal to say about
the high cost of living.
Mr.. Miller told the reporter a
number of interesting things about
the local service. The carriers. in
the summer time, are all through
and on their way home at 8 2. NJ.
All the patrons along the road have
at that hour received their daily
newspaper, farm papers, magazines
and personal mail. Many state pa
pers are taken. Many OF the boys on
the farms are subscribers for scien-
t!lic magazines.
OF course all does not always go
smoothly. The weather sometim es
interrupts the service. There were
nine days last winter when the car
riers of the Rural Free Delivery
could not leave the office. One wo-
man, was showed in all winter. But
there are many things in spring and
summer to compensate for the win
ter's hardship. The drivers have an
| opportunity to tend their farms. but
can engage in no other business.

butte to the excellent service that is
being given by the Waterville rural
/ carriers.

Postmaster Makes
Interesting Observations
On r. +. ID. Inspection

AS part Oh ms OFFICIAL duties, POST
master c. F. Miller mas been making
the rounds of the rural free delivery
routes that run from the Watcrville
postoffice and has just completed
this task, finding il very interesting.
There are five routeS-No. IL. driven
by Charles Thomas; No. 40. driven
by W. Hartwell Pollard; No. 20,
driven by Robert Horne: No. 81,
driven by Robert Clark, and No. g.,
from which Fred O. Hamlin recently
retired, having reached the age limit.
This last route is at present driven
by Alvin Costello.
All the drivers own automobiles.
and it is with these that the routes
are covered in the summer time. In
carly spring and late fall, and like
WIS, during the winter they have to
fall back on the old nag. and some
times, as was the case last winter
they are forced to resort to snow
showes.
Tho routes wind and twist in a
curious way, and intersect in places
in order TO cover the entire territory

follows a road on the eastern side

VIII Farm, then turns toward the
right in the direction of Clinton Vii
iaGc, following the State highway to
Benton Falls and keeps on past the
IIollingsworth and Whitney club
s,,ta "a.
over the Ticonic bridge
One of the most beautiful routes,
in the summer at least. is that of
W Hartwcll Pollard. Crossing the
Ticonic bridge, Mr.. Pollard drives
straight up over Sand Hill into a
most wonderful farming country TO
Benton Falls. This route goes into
Vassalboro, back into Benton and
crosses the Sebasticook river three
times.
Mr.. Houses route crosses the two
bridges and follows the new State
road river in Vassalboro to Oak
Grove seminary, then turns to the
right along the road on which the
farm q Rev. DR.. Wilbur F. Berry
is ,2cated, goes through North Vas
salV ro and covers a small outlying
district, then goes up the North Vas
salboro road to Drummonds avenue
and Prof. J. d. Taylor's. Then It
doubles back on the main road and
returns to this city.
The Robert Clark route is the
shortest and crookedest of the five.

This Winter Ireland's Valley
Forge, His Sister Ayers;
Death Blamed on Premier

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--Mrs. Muriel
MacSwiney, widow Of the Lord Mayer
Of Cork, presented to-day to the COM
mission Of the committee Of one hun
dred investigating the Irish question
her story of the hunger strike in Brix-
ton Prison, London; of her husband
and of his death, and the details as she
isad witnessed them of attempts by the
Irish republicans to gain freedom for
their country.
Mrs. MacSwiney concluded her story
with the declaration ENGLAND shall
have no peace, that the world will have
no peace, until our republic is recog-
nized."
Miss Mary MacSwiney. sister of the
Lord Mayor, recalled to add details 20
the story she told the commission yes
terday, added to the declaration of her
sister-ln-law the assertion that the
coming winter would be "Ireland's Val
ley Forge and appealed for American
aid, not, she said, for the men and
women of Ireland. but for the children.
Plea for Irish Children
"The coming winter in Ireland" said
Miss MacSwiney, will be hard. The
British have destroyed our crops, our
supplies Of food. The men can get on,
the women can stand the suffering, but
it is for the children plead. We mast
have help this winter"
The widow of the Cork Lord Mayor
declared there was no choice for the
Irish republicans but TO stand to-
gether, whatever the cost, and continue
the fight for independence. She said
it was such spirit that had actuated
her husband to refuse food until
death.
II knew my husband was happy, as
his physical strength was worn away
by hunger, for his countenance abso-
lutely radiated peace and contentment,"
Mrs. MacSwiney asserted. "I was
besought to plead with him to take
food, but would not, for l never, never
would interfere with my husband in
matter of conscience. 1t was his

BERLIN, Nov. 12-Revision of the
peace Treaty Of Versailles by the in
te1national proletariat was urged by
Ernst Daeumig, leader of the new
Communists, in debate in the Reichs-
tag recently. Herr Daeumig prophe-
sled revolution to overthrow CAPT

the Versailles Treaty as an exhibition
of force by world capitalism.
"We feel toward it as our Russ ian
comrades felt toward the treaty OF
Brest-Litovsk," he said.
These declarations of the Commu-
mist idea Of treaty revision were
evoked by statemen. which had been
made by DR.. Eugen Schiller, formerly
Vice Chancellor and leader Of the Ma

:. Miss MacSwiney expressed the be-
lief that the fatal hunger strike of her
brother had greatly benefited the Irish
independence movement. She told of
the series of kilograms she had ex-
changed with Premier Lloyd George in
an attempt to fix responsibility for her
brothers prison sentence and for the
treatment he and his relatives had
been accorded BY the British govern
ment

grams" she added, made me feel that
Lloyd George was responsible before
God and 1an for the death of nv
brother. l shall continue to feel that
way. and | shall continue to spread
truth of that situation throughout all
Of Ireland"
Miss Macswiney gave an account Of
what she characterized as conspiracy
between officials of the Brixton prison
and the British Home Office "to defeat
plans of the family to take the Lord
Mayors body back to Cork" because,
she said, "the British feared an uprs-
ing, and they did not want any more
trouble than they already had.
We Irish are no domestic problem
Of England" she said. 1--WE are an in
ternational problem. Our ideals, the
ideals of all Irish republicans, are the
same, and my plea to the American peo.
pie IS that you at least give fair play
and justice to US, for the British stories
OF the separatist movement do no.
Gerry all the facts. We are not divided,
and we intend that the whole world
shall know the truth both Of our cause
and the Misrepresentation Of the Brit
sh.'
Mrs MacSwneys accounts of the
numerous arrests of her husband, his
efforts on behalf of free Irish ma
tlon and the actions of the British gov
ernment in attempting "to throttle
Irish development" were punctuated
alternately by applause and sobs.
Tells of Her Marriage
Mrs Macswiney told of her marriage
to the late Lord Mayor in England in
1907, just after her husband had been
released from one Of the many prison
terms. She related how their only baby
New-York tribune., 1920-12-10

would not insist that he take food. The
prison officials, however, said they
would not employ forced feeding until
the prisoner became unconscious, when
they would give him food, Mrs. Mac
Swiney declared. Accordingly, five
days before the Lord Mayor died, the
prison authorities began feeding him,
she asserted, and continued to do so
until his death.
Mrs. MacSwiney gave vivid recital
of her experience with the British Off
cials and charged that the British
Home Office had spread propaganda to
the effect that relatives Of the Lord
Mayor were secretly providing him
with food.
"That," she exclaimed, "is the sort of
lies they use about everything in con-
nection with Ireland"
