Militarism Unpopular,

The fact that military leader
are not being received with th'
attention and acclamatlon ac'
corded TO them but a few shor'
wears ago does not signify that
the American people have forgot
ten the war, or that they do not
appreciate the men who led the
American army to success; but 1t
does signify that they are tired OF
war and militarism They now
realize its cost and are turning
from a system that is 80 burden
some TO the nations and the world.
No one doubts that these Officers
served their country we'll. or that
they would fail to do so again un.
der like circumstances. but no one
cares to 90 through such scenes
again.
The people have not lost one bit
Of their patriotism. not a particle
of that love of country that made
the American soldier invincible,
not an atom of that desire to see
the American flag nonored and
respected upon every sea and 10
every land; but they are now
thinking OF peace; praying for
peace, and longing for the time
when all nations will seek more
humane method of settling their
quarrels than by force of arms.
They are turning in disgust from
the professional war agitators and
are looking for leaders among
those who do not want war, and
who will conduct international
relations upon a basis of peace;
men who will turn deaf ears TO
the militarists and use every
means 10 their power to bring
about International disarmament
and a better understanding be-
tween all nations; men who real
ize that fewer battleship5 mean
lower taxes aud smaller armies q
protection against the horrors OF
war.
Germany had not been pre-
pared for war there would have
been no war, and the millions
whose lives have been sacrificed
would now be enjoying lives of
peaceful industry.
There are times when war is
justifiable in order that men may
obtain that freedom which auto.
Gratis have denied them; but such
wars are local and revolutionary
and not general to the ex.eos that
they involve other nations in
common ruin.
There is in the United States q
growing sentiment for disarma.
ment, and If the war leaders are
not applauded as they would like
to be, 1t is not because the people
look upon them with esteem, but
that they turn from the horrid
thing that military leaders repre-.
sent. War takes from the natioD
the best blood 1t produces and
burdens all with taxes that gener-
ations must labor and sacrifice to
pay.

MORSE REFUSES
INTERVIEW ON RETURN

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-Charles
w. Morse, shipbuilder, whose con-
tracts are under investigation al
Washington came to America to-
day on the steamship Paris at the
request of Atty. Gen. Daugherty
He was met by his two sons. On
the piers also were four agents of
the Department of Justice but no
effort was made to serve a war
rant. Mr.. Morse, whom fellow
voyagers described as one of their
most affable companions, shook
hands with ship news reporters
and permitted photographs to snap
all the plates they carried.
Asked whether he had any state
ment to make Mr.. Morse replied:
81 absolutely decline to give any
interview" The fnancier said he
intended going to his New York
home and later would precede to
Washington.
Later Morse said he would un-
hesitatingly appear any place and
before any tribunal the govern
ment may require. Before leaving
America for the sole purpose of
remaining away long enough to
obtain a few weeks peacement for
my physician, | made inquiries
from various departments Of the
government as to the issuance o.
any changes against me and was
informed that there were none.

ROADS. In two of the three cases
shots were fired to BRING liquor
laden automobiles to halt and
two men were wounded slightly.
The men arraigned were Major
A. Larock of St. John, Que. John
Melden of Boston and Frederick
Goodhue, a Morrisville farmer.
Three autos were involved. The
authorities first challenged Good
hue and another man on the Ba-
kersfield-West Enosburg road
When they failed to stop the depu-
ties fired. The shots were returned
by Goodkue's companion. Goodhue
was finally obliged to stop because
of his wound and the penetration
of the gasoline tank of his car by
a bullet. His companion escaped.
A few minutes later another car
came down the road. When it fa l.
ed to halt the officers opened fire
and started in pursuit. They over
took it near Bakersfield and ar
rested Larock. Officers said he
drew a revolver and attempted to
escape.
The third auto appeared little
later. The officers hearing its ap-
proach put their cars across the
road. Melden was arrested without
resistance. In Goodhue's car was
five cases of whiskey, in Larock's
car 27 cases of gin and whiskey
and in Melden's 81 cases of whis-
key and champagne.

NEWPORT WINS
TWICE FROM
ORLEANS HIGH
Miss Skinner Bright Star
of NewpOrt's High Five
Against Orleans

Newport high school had things
all their own way Saturday even
inp at the old School Hall when
they sent tht Orleans high school
BOYS basket ball team down to a
G1-15 defeat and the girls team
down 1913.
As a preliminary to the two
main contests the sophmores took
a fall out of the freshmen 1879 IN
tht first inter-class game of the
winter series. The freshmen led
at the close Of the first half 7-3,
but the sophs with the aid Of their
star, Black, jumped ahead in the
second and won out.
Promptly at eight o'clock th'
girls fives faced each other III
what turned out to be remark
able contest. 1t is very seldom
that girls team piles up total
Of 80 points in 80 minutes. Il
shows team work and shooting
ability and that is exactly what
the N. H. S. girls had. Again i
is a rare occasion when one girl
makes 20 baskets in one game
with scarcely a miss and that i
what "Bee' Skinner did against
Orleans.
In the first period Bee sho'
five successive goals before hel
eye iled,-trulv remarkable feat
for girl under playing conditions
Although the greater part o:
the credit for the victory is due
Miss Skinner. 1t was largely the
sterling work of Airline Cushing
Mae Doran and "Dot' Whaler
that made Bees record possible
These girls were wonders on the
defensive and they passed the
hall down the floor again ant
again, and "fed" it to Bee.
"Betty" Shaw also gave gooc
account of herself for she drop
ped nine through the meshes al
though her guard watched hel
continuously.
The Orleans girls dld tlleIl
best and never gave in but they
were simply outcIassed. The con-
test wa free from rough play ano
what falls the girls did get they
took in good spirit.
The boys clash was fast
throughout and held the fans in
terest quite as much as the glrl'
game. During the first five nun
utcs of play Newport failed tt
show much form but after missing
many shots they settled down II
earnest to the task Of running ur
a score. The local boys offensive
trio, Hill, Gardner, and Albee dc
most of the scoring, which was a'
it should be. The visitors sue
cceded in getting by Captain jim
Addison and Lance for only sIA
goals. n. II. S. scored frequently
but had to work for each goal fol
Orleans fought stubbornly all the
way,
The first half closed 28-10 with
Newport leading,
The second half ,howcd bettel
team play on the part Of both
teams. Newport secured several
goals as d result of series OF
rapid passes. This was what the
fans wanted to see In the last five
minutes Akin and Prouty went ir
and did excellent work. The final
score was 61-15. Orleans SCORED

half.
