WON'T RELEASE
MAYOR M'SWEENEY
Premier Lloyd George Says Govern
ment Could Not Take Response
bility Whatever Happens.

LUCERNE. Switzerland, Aug. 20
Premier Lloyd George in statement
today concerning the case of Lord May
or MeSweeney of Cork, whose condl-
tion is grave because of his hunger
strike in Brighton Jail, London, said
in substance that whatever the conse-
quenees, the government could not take
the responsibility of releasing Nc
Sweeney.
The premier declared he regretted
Lord Mayor McSweeney had decided
to starve himself, but said if he were
released then all the other hunger
strikers would have to be released. " A
law which is respecter of persons is
no law" Mr.. Lloyd George state
mcnt continued. eff the cabinet,
therefore, departed from its decision a
complete break down of the whole ma
chinery of law and justice in Ireland
inevitably would follow
The release some weeks ago OF hum
ger strikers in Ireland was followed by
an outburst of cruel murder and out
rage. The premier cited the crime for
which Lord Mayor McSweeney was
convicted and said it indicated he was
concerned in a conspiracy against the
constabulary who are the defenders OF
order in Ireland,'' Mr.. Lloyd George
declared it was the governments duty
to protect these men.

SUES FOR $4,000
IN LAUNDRY DEAL
Meany Says He Paid $4,000 as Half
Price of Bellows Falls Laundry
that Cost Only $4,000.

Michael II. Meany of Walpole has
filed suit for $4,000 in the Windham
county court against George M. Weber
of Alstead and George P. Lowell of
Rockingham for alleged misrepresenta-
tion. The suit is brought through the
law Office of Barber, Barber & Miller.
Mr.. Meany claims that on Nov. -
he and Weber agreed to buy and op-
crate on equal shares steam laundry
in Bellows Falls, then owned by Ellis
worth Houghton and George P. Lowell,
known as the Wheeler laundry. He and
Wieber were to pay one half the cost
each, he says, and he states that Vie
Der told him that the least the laundry
could be bought for was $4,000.
The plaintiff claims he paid $4,000
as his half and afterwards learned that
Weber bought the laundry for $4,000.

Russian Casualties Estimated at 10000,

of That Figure-Polish Victory In

WARSAW, Aug. 25 ASSOCIATED
).-Kolno, an important town near
the east Prussian frontier north of
Lomza, has been taken by Polish forces
which have been sweeping rapidly
northward in pursuit of the retiring
Bolshevili. More than 10000 prison
ers. who were cut off from the main
body of the Soviet army, have been
captured in this region.
Reports from various fronts, partic-
ularly northern sectors, indicate the
Bolsheviki are demoralized and fleeing
everywhere in great disorder.
General Solnokowski, minister of
war, has issued a statement that the
Soviet armies have been decisively
beaten everywhere, adding that of
100000 Bolshevik troops participating
in the offensive against Warsaw, more
than 100000 have been accounted for,
and that nearly all other detaehments
have been shot to pieces. He estimated
the number of prisoners at $4,000 and
other Bolshevik casualties at 10000.
Military observers assert the Polish
victory and the successes in the recent
campaign form one of the most inter
esting military strategical problems of
recent years.

Comparative Statement for
20 Years Issued by 1
Census Bureau 4
SHOW TREND TO "
LARGER PLACES
Largest Stable Growth Per Cent Made
by Wilmington, Although Lumber
men in Somerset Give That Town
Largest Actual Rate of Increase.

Mimeograph copies of the census fig
ures for Windham county, showing the
population of the towns and villages ac-
cording to the 18th census, 1920, together
with those of 1900 and 1910, have been
issued by the bureau of the census The.
table is published on page of this pa
per, together with gains and losses per
cent as computed in the Reformer office.
and while the figures issued by the CEN
sus bureau are marked preliminary an
nouncement of population, subject to
correction" the final figures will not va
ry much if any from those already is-
sued.
They show an unmistakahle trend
from the smaller places toward the lar
ger ones, but the gain in the largest
places is not sufficient to offset the loss
in the small towns, as the county as
whole shows loss of 500 persons, or I'll
per cent.
From 1900 to 1910 the county showed
a gain of 332, so the population when
lthe last census was taken shows loss
Iof s91 in 20 years. 1t is believed that
most of the loss shown by the last CEN
sus was brought about by the war, as
many persons left from all sections of
the county to engage in war work in
the large centers and while many have
come back by no means have all of them
done so, and to these must be added the
war casualties. There is no doubt that
several communities have grown mate
rally since the census was taken.
Six of the % towns show a gan in the
last census. They are Brattleboro, Do
yer, Rockingham, Somerset, Stratton
and Wilmington. The remaining II
towns show a loss.
As previously stated, Brattleboro
shows the largest gain numerically, the
figures being 79l in the whole town and
S07 in the village, or 10.5 per cent and
1915 per cent respectively. 1t is believed
the small loss in the town outside the
village has been more than offset since
the census was taken.
Somerset shows the largest growth per
cent, the gain being 32 or llS.5 per cent,
the population 10 years ago being q ana
at the last census 50. This gain is due
to numbering operations and cannot be
said to be of stable growth. In the pre-
vious decade, for instance, the town
showed loss of approximately % per
cent
Stratton, which adjoins Somerset, lost
Approximately 20 per cent in the census
of 1910 and gained Az per cent in the
last census. 49,.
With a gain of 254 in the town and

TABERNACLE SERVICES.
Not Large, but Leaders
Were Among the Best.

1t was expected there would be a
service in the tabernacle at Sunset
lake next Sunday, Aug. 20, with the
minister from Williamsville in charge.
Circumstances having prevented Mrs.
Aldrich from being present on that day,
it has been omitted and the final serv-
ice for this year was held last Sunday,
conducted by men from the Brattleboro
Baptist church.
While the attendance has not been
large at any of these meetings, the
leaders were among the best, the sing
ing excellent, and an uplifting spirit
prevailed which must prove helpful.
The association appreciates the kind
assistance in these services. The an
nuaI meeting was held at the close, the
expenses are all paid, and a balance
left over. Some other matters of bust
ness will be decided at later date.
