A BREAK IN
THE MONOTONY

The village was treated to an I'M
advertised movie .thriller in the quiet
of last Wednesday evening In its
single episode it contained more real
ism than many of the five and seven
reel dramas of the screen. Miss Romo-
ma Forbes, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter L. Forbes, deputy fish and
game warden, and Hubert Casey, son
Of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Casey figured
as principals. William Hartin, pro-
pretor of Hlrtin's restaurant on Main
street played the role of accomplice
to the hero and heroine. An angry
father, strong in his resolve that his
daughcr vii! not marry Casey, the
boy of her choice, was ably assisted
by two just as determined brothers.
There were stories of Casey having
been waylaid on his return from work,
when the Forbes party ambushed him
and used personal violence in an at
tempt to persuade him that his love
for Miss Ronona was but skin deep
He was threatened with similar
thrashing nightly, it is said, until he
changed Tire object of his affections.
The plot began to thicken when Casey
and his fiancee held a conference early
Wednesday evening Father Forbes
had waited anxiously the return of
his daughter from the Casey domicile
When as he watched the road he saw
her lover fly past him in Hartins ma
chine his suspicious were aroused. He
Immediately took up the chase in his
own car accompanied by his sons.
Down Case street the two cars raced
with throttle wide open Night Off
Ger Charles Shaw was picked up by
the pursuerS and asked to apply the
brakes of his official hand to halt the
pursued. He was told that the car in
front contained a maiden in distress.
The entrance OF the officer into the
scene was the signal for a crowd to
gather. For once in a long while some
thing that promised excitement had
happened in Middlebury and no one
was willing to miss it.
The first car turned in front of The
Register office and was about to speed
away again when the stentorian "Halt"
OF the guardian Of the peace pulled it
up within its own length. A thorough
search was made, but the girl was not
found in the cab. . On calling up his
his home the father learned that the
object Of his quest had been at home
during the entire proceedings.

Gov. Lowden took immediate steps to
demonstrate that the state was united

ever war measures 1t undertook. He
appointed q state council of defense,
representing all parties and all elc-

The work of this council was note
worthy. Financed by an appropriation

running as high as $5,0O0,0O0, the u
linois council achieved results equal In
Importance to those of any other body

things 1t did of direct aid to the gov

preliminary training to several thou
sand drafted men, so that on report

WHERE DO We
co FROM HERE,
SENATORS ASK
Route for Next Move in Treaty
Fight Subject of Much
Speculation.

Washington, Jan. 29-Negutia-
tions between Democratic and Re
publican leaders of the senate who
apparently have approached dead
lock on the peace treaty compro-
mise, will not be resumed until to-
morrow, the meeting of the bi-par-
tisan committee planned for today
having been postponed because of
the absence Of Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, one of the Republican
leaders.
There was much discussion of
what course friends of the treaty
should take if the bipartisan nego-
tiations ended without an agree
ment- Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, the administration leader,
has told the Republicans that in
such an eventuality he proposed to
move to take up the treaty in the
open senate, but he said today he
would not do that until all hope of
compromise by private negotiation
had disappeared.
Meantime it developed that some
Democratic senators were inclined
to the belief that nothing would be
gained by throwing the treaty back
into the senate in the near future.
These senators disagreed with Sem
ator Hitchcock that a majority
would be certain to support such a
move, while among Republicans, it
was confidently predicted that it
would fail.
