Machine Drops Fifty Feet Onto Railroad Tracks at White
 River Junction, Vt.
FOUR MEET DEATH IN
 CRASH NEAR BRIDGEPORT
Another Is At Point of Death and Two Others in Critical Condition Following Collision of Auto and Tree Which Occurred in Fog in Town of Nichols Last Night.

White River Junction, Vt., Aug. 25. P-Three persons were killed and a fourth seriously injured early today when an automobile plunged through a bridge and fell fifty feet to the Central Vermont railroad tracks in Hartland, near here. All were believed to have come from Springfield, Mass.
 One Of the dead was identified as Thomas G. Mason, sales manager of the Pease Company, Inc. His ad- dress was given as 79 North Main street, Springfield, Mass. Another victim was Miss Bertha Lucia, s Terrace street, also of Springfield. The third person killed was a young woman about 20 years old. The police were unable to identify her. Harry Mason, believed to be the brother fthe dead man, was taken to the hospital in Hanover, N. H., unconscious.
 Passerby Discovers Tragedy
 The accident was believed to have occurred at about S:30 a. m. A truck driver discovered the car and called the White River Junction po- lice, who removed the bodies and the wrecked automobile from the tracks ju9t before the arrival of passenger train.
 Heavy fog that obscured the road during the early morning was be- lieved to have had q share in caus- ing the wreck. The automobile owned, operated and apparently driven by Thomas Mason, appeared to have been travelling at S5 or 40 miles an hour on the road from Windsor to White river. Eighteen miles from White river the road sWerves sharply to the left just be- fore it reaches the bridge over the railroad tracks. Apparently seeing the turn too late, the driver of the car turned his machine so that it went through the side of the bridge, near the middle.

What was it that made Lenin such
gifted spokesman of the millions?
1t was first of all his unusual in
stinct for the problems of the masses.
Lenin had some kind of unexplained
sixth sense, which allowed him to
hear with his sensitive ears the grass
growing under the earth, to hear how
subterranean creeks leap and ripple,
and the thoughts that grow in the
minds of the innumerable workers on
the earth. He could listen to these
as nobody else. Patiently and atten-
lively he listened to the soldier Of
the old army, to the peasant from the
remote border province, to the metal
worker. Thru a chance talk with a
peasant woman he felt the pulse Of
the peasantry. BY the questions
written on scraps Of paper and passed
up to the speaker at a meeting, he
knew the ways Of the thoughts of the
working class. Out OF every man he
could, with an ability peculiar to him
self, pull out thousands Of threads OF
thought group of social connec-
tions with complicated tangles and
knots-and before his eyes there rose
the picture of the life of millions, OF
the class relations in an immense
country. Lenin had peculiar ability
to talk with men, to approach them,
so that they came to him with all
their doubts, their needs and ques-
tions. With all Of them Lenin found a
common speech. Hating with all the
power of his mighty soul the enemies
OF the working class, breaking alb
ruptly with them. m.-decisively and ir-
revocably-Lenin could nevertheless

powerful head from which revolution
airy energy radiated in all directions,
those lively, piercing. attentive eyes,
those hard, strong hands, that whole
firm-hewn figure that stood at the
borderline between two epochs in the
life of mankind. Now it is destroyed,
the central station of proletarian thot,
will, feeling, which speeded like un-
seen currents along a million wires
to all parts Of our planet where prole-
tartan hearts beat, where the building
of the consciousness of a great class
goes on, where weapons are forged for
the fight for liberation.

him a wonderful combination Of

was the completeness Of all these
forces which gave us the genius of
Vladimir Hyich. Comrade Lenin was
first OF all, a leader, a chief of the
kind that history gives to mankind
once in hundred years, and by whose
name an epoch is known. He was the

even of the proletarian army, but as
to the best friend, eomrade, the wis
est, most experienced counsellor. And
he bound men to himself with bonds
no power could break. Can there be
found in history another leader of
such caliber, who has been so loved
by his closest eo-workers? All these
had towards him a peculiar feeling.
They literally loved him. They appre-
ciated not only his mighty brain and
iron hand. No. He bound men to
himself with bonds OF intimacy, he
was an intimate friend. a relative.
He was in the full sense Of the word
a comrade-a great word. to which
the future belongs. So shall the rela-
tions between all men yet become.
The utmost simplicity was the main
feature of Lenin's policy. It was not
the simplicity of the naive. 1t was
the simplicity of genius. He found
simple words, simple slogans, simple
solutions of the most complicated
problems. Nothing was so alien to
him as evasion, pretense, sophistry.
He hated all that, scorned that damn
ed inheritance of the past which still
clings to US. He understood the value
of the matter-offact and hated deeply
all empty fuss.
Lenin led the party and thru the
party all the toilers. He was a dictator
in the best sense of the word. Concen-
trating in himself the essence of the
stream Of life, remodeling in the
wonderful laboratory of his brain the
experience of hundred and thousands,
he at the same time led with a strong
hand as man of power, as an author

dagged along at the rear, he never
merely registered events after they
had happened. He could go against
the stream with the whole power Of
his passionate temperament So must
the true leader of the masses be.
Comrade Lenin is gone from us
forever. Forever. Let US transmit all
the love we felt for him TO his own
child, his own successor-to our party.
May it live in his spirit, in his
understanding, in his will, in his self
effacing courage. in his devotion to
the working class. May we all to-
gether listen as attentively to the
masses as did Lenin-our common
leader, our wise teacher, our dear,
irreplaceable eomrade.
