woodsville Loses Pitchers Battle to
st. Johnsbury.

81. JonnSpuIy
In game in which every run was
scored through errors and in which
Woodsville was ace high in pitching,
Woodsville lost to St. Johnsbury by a
score of two to one. st. Johnsbury
came onto the field overconfident and
with an idea that the game was a
cinch. Two errors and one hit pro
duced one run for Woodsville in the
first. From then until the ninth Meth
er side was able TO score. In the ninth
Barber made poor throw to first,
which Lsrty missed. Another error and
hit gave st. Johnsbury the two runs
and the game Woodsyille held st.
Johnsbury to three hits while they Sc
cured FIVE Base running also figured
largely in the result. Larty was out
in the ninth in a double play on see
ond and if he had not overrun the
base he might have tied the score.
Two hivvers we're in collision Thurs
day noon in the Main street. One
driven by Mead attempted to turn
while the other thought he had time
to get by without waiting Result was
a jammed fender and two tires
blown out No one was injured, the
damage being neglible.

By Associated Press

 Ut is not upon the peace treaty that such a reproach can be based. The treaty was judged and defined by President Wilson himself. in solidarity with the heads of the other govern ments, in the response addressed by them on June IS. 1919, to Count von Erockdorff- Rantzau. head of the Ger man peace delegation"
 'That was a capital document, said M. Tardieu. who recalled that it in- formed the Germans that the peace isroposed was fundamentally peace of Justice and that 1t provided basis upon which the peoples of Europe could live together in friendship and equity.''
 M. Tardieu continued:
