Four citifens were killed and several injured.
 A child was killed on the Belgian side of the Rhine, and a Belgian sol dier was shot in the hand. The Reichswehr and Red casualties, it is officially announced, were light
 The first shots between Reichswehr forces under General Kabisch and the Reds were fired at Kaiserberg on the eastern edge of the city. Fighting soon followed in the downtown streets of Duisberg, the Reichswehr advancing from corner to corner, driv- ing the Reds before them. The Reds fought in small groups, sometimes on ly three or four manning a machine gun, supplementing it's fire with rifles.
 The heaviest firing was in Some wall street. The Reichswehr entered the street at the north end from an open square with machine guns. The Reds with their machine guns stood at range of 50 yards.
 The sweeping fire of both sides shattered half the store windows. The gutters were piled up with glass so pulverized that it resembled piles of drifted shaved ice when the shopkeep- CTS later in the evening swept the sidewalks to the accompaniment of machine gune fire in the southern and eastern outskirts
 Remnants of the melting Reds, gathered around Bismarck's monu- ment, fled when the troops charged. Barricades erected in Kasslerfelder street, where many aliens live, were cleared out by shrapnel.

state. Not for many years has win
ter season afforded such fine conditions
for driving automobiles over both city
and country roads. Thus far the snow.
fall has been comparatively light, there
being just about enough snow to fill in
the ruts and holes and make road
surface comparable to the asphalt Of
city streets. These conditions apply
chiefly to the valley roads, of course,
but they apply in measure to the
mountain and hill highways, as we
note from an item that motorists on a
recent date drove their car from Rut-
land over the Mendon mountains to
Bethel, an unusual experience for mid.
January. Under normal conditions Of
January this would not have been pos
sible, for the car would have been stuck
in snowdrifts soon after making the
attempt. But as long as the deep snow
stays away the motorists are bound to
use their cars, and this results in in
creased applications for registration.
That is the chief reason why the secre-
tary of states office has been so hard
pressed with business of this nature.

THE LATE GOV. MEAD.

The late John Abner Mead of Rut-
land, governor of Vermont decade ago
was one of the old-fashioned type OF
men, if such an expression maybe used
in describing one who still kept well
abreast of the trend of events. Perhaps
it would be well to say that he was an
old fashioned man with adaptability to
the new setting; that is, he retained
much of the habits of thought and ac-
ton of the old days and took unto
himself such of the new habits of
thought and action which seemed to
him desirable. In that adaptability
exGov. Mead proved his capacity. He
was not out of date though he carried
with him something of the old-time
ideas and notions. He was very sue
cessful in business, having built up
concern which is one of the most i'm
portant single industries in the state
at the present time. He was equally
successful in politics as betokened by
his service in the House and Senate of
the Vermont legislature, the lieutenant
office and the governors po-
sition. He won wide friendship
throughout the state and he retained
large measure of that friendship despite
his retirement from public life follow
ing the close of his gubernatorial term.
He gave evidence of his generosity of
nature by donating handsome chapel
to Middlebury college and by giving
community house in his home city. He
was one of the states most liberal Civ
ers in affairs of public welfare in this
abroad. In all these ways
x.Gov. Mead gave proof of his worth
and of the high estimation in which he
was held throughout the state.

CURRENT COMMENT
Hoover VS.. Hoover.

In considering the political availabil
ity of Mr. Herbert Hoover as the pres
idential candidate of either of the two
great parties, there are many things to
be taken into account On the one
hand he has demonstrated his executive
ability in way that has attracted the
attention of the whole world. During
the last few years he has been, with the
exception of President Wilson and Gen
eral Pershing, the most widely adyer-
tised man in this country. He built up
an organization in every state OF the
union. His work as food administrator
brought him particularly close to the
interests of the, women of the United
States, and millions of women will be
voters at the next presidential election.
If nominated, he would be a candidate
brought forth by the war, vet not
military candidate, thus Illustrating
that the warfare of to-day brings forth
leaders far behind the battleline.
But Mr.. Hoover has his liabilities as

The Bellows Falls Times is authority
for the statement that farmers in the
White River valley and in the vicinity
OF Barre were the chief victims of a
bunch of slick ones who made deposits
in local banks, bought a great quantity
of farm products on the strength of
that credit, shipped the products away
and drew out their money from the
bank before the checks began to come
in for payment. II the farmers in the
vicinity of Barre were vietimized to
any considerable extent they have been
mighty reticent about it, that's certain
But the warning is worth passing along

their money first better still, get 4

Naturally enough, Great Britain,
France, Italy, Belgium and the others
feel discontinued over the absence of
the United States from the formal
movement toward peace. Had not the
United States played such an important
part in making that peace possible
there would not now be such a strong
feeling of disappointment over the fail
ure of the United States to join with
them in the activities involved in the
signing of the treaty of Versailles. In
war the United States was one of the
most potent factors in defeating Ger
many; in peace the United States is a.
recalcitrant. 1t is an odd situation.
