URGES ROOSEVELT POLICY.
Editor Williams Of Boston Transcript
Talks to Norwich Students.

Northfield, Oct. 2s.-Continuance of
Theodore Rooseyelt's policy in foreign
relations, that Of genuine, interna-
tional good win and Of consideration
for the rights Of Others and at the
same TIME Of steady preparedness, y
was urged by James T. Williams, jr.,
editor OF the Boston Transcript, who
addressed the cadet corps Of Norwich
university here last night on "Roose-
yeIt's Rule in Foreign Relations"
against paciists Of the type Of
Governor Baxter Of Maine, Roosevelt
warred his life through said Mr..
Williams. at was this type which
time and again he declared to be among
the most foolish foes of our own
household In opposing the doctrine
OF pacifism held by Governor Baxter
we can be certain that we are follow
ing where Roosevelt led. He pursued
without faltering one consistent for
eign policy.
1T is policy OF genuine interna
tional good win and of consideration
for the rights Of others and at the
same time OF steady preparedness. He
held that the privileges that we enjoy
under Washington's policy and under
lis corolIary, the Monroe doctrine,
force upon us corresponding obliga-
tions 10 arouse America TO a new sense
Of these obligations, and to prepare
America TO discharge them faithfully
in peace and war was the great objee-
tvs Of the rule of foreign policy in
linked with the rule OF
Roosevelt.
"When Roosevelt left the presi-
dency he finished seven and one-half
years of administration during which
not one shot was fired against a for
eign enemy. The United States was at
absolute peace and there was no ma
tion in the world whom we had
wronged or from whom we had any
thing 70 fear. Under his presidency
America held the moral leadership OF
the world.
"If we would regain that leader
ship and restore the nation to the
high position it occupied in the fam
ily Of nations when Roosevelt was
president. il behooves us to revive and
follow his rule in foreign relations.
he said: Our rule should be the same
for the nation as for the individual. |

,void hitting. but never hit soft. Don't |

Judge Refused To Give
Directed Verdict For
Central Vermont
ARGUMENTS WERE
BEING MADE TO-DAY
D. P. Lefebvre Is Suing for
Death of Wife and
Daughter

The jury which has heard the eyi-
denee in d. p. Lefebvre's case against
the Central Vermont Railway com
pany for damage growing out of the
death Of Mrs. Lefebvre and Miss Glen
ma Lefebvre in crossing accident al
West Berlin, will have to decide
whether or not the railroad was negli-
gent. Judge Frank L. Fish so decided
after hearing the arguments of coun-
sci for both sides yesterday after
noon on the motion for direct ver-
dict offered by Attorney John w. Red
mond for the railroad.
The jury heard considerable part
of the argument on the motion. They
were excused at 4:45 with instructions
TO return at 8 o'clock this morning.
Two arguments we're given this
forenoon and. two on Monday, accord
ing to the directions given by Judge
Fish yesterday.
Much of the argument on the mo-
tion had to do with the plaintiffs
claim that the railroad was negligent
in having a ramp leading up to the
station platform partly in the high
way, which is alleged to be contrary
to law. The automobile in the case
drove onto this ramp.
To the claim of Attorney O. l..
Hunt for the plaintiff that the matter
of negligence on this point should go
TO the jury, Mr.. Redmond contended
that anyone who did an act which
a prudent man would not expect would
ever harm anybody could not be
charged with negligence. He& claimed
that the ramp was for public CON
yenience.
Other issues which Mr.. Hunt asked
to have presented 70 the jury were
the speed Of the train, which he stated
he would show to have been over 40
miles an hdur; failure on the part Of
the train crew to keep lookout; and
the matter of signals. The plaintiff
claims negligence on the part Of the
in all these respects.
In regard to the failure to keep
Mr.. Hunt stated that the en-
gineer was on the right and could not
see the crossing to the east. where
the car was. The fireman, he said,
flashed a glance" on the left side Of
the train, saw that the switch and
stop boards we're all right, and turned
back to shovel coal
Mr.. Redmond contended that the en-
gineer had the right TO assume that
anyone at the crossing would conduct
safely until he had reason
to think they would do otherwise.
When it appeared that the motorist
would not be safe, he said, it was too
late to do anything about it.
II appeared that when George Ssy-
dis. the driver Of the automobile. first
saw the train, the front Of his car was
,nly seven feet from the rail Ernest
T. Dillon. a Montpelier garage man,
testified early yesterday afternoon
hat Buick automobile Of the model
If the wrecked car, going 10 miles an
lour. which the defense claims was
he spn2 of the car, could be stopped
n eight TO 10 feet.
Mr.. Redmond put his motion after
'ir. Dillon's testimony, the defense
esting at that time. There was no
ebuttal testimony.
