 The Japanese military has al- ready drawn up a plan for an ad- vantageous negotiated peace which would be unveiled soon after the defeat of Germany.

With this facade of respect ability set up. Tokyo would offer to restore the Philippines to the U.

BY THE OUT EASTER


 old Out East mourns one of itI old time and best known residents of former day.
 We refer to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Mccarthy of 5l Waterville street who died early in the week, after a brief illness.
 Mrs. Mccarthy was a Dillon of old William street. a family wide- ly known and much respected. The family was out here when the Sacred Heart parish was created, and more than did its share for the success of the church which now stands at the junction of East Main. Wolcott and Taylor streets. old time families of this parish were earnest workers. They had to be to acquire funds sufficiently to maintain the heavy cost. incident to the orig inal construction. Fairs were held annually, books were carried by each woman worker, in which the general public was canvassed and regular weekly donations of a nominal amount collected. And every week. these young women of the church including Mrs. Me- Carthy. made the rounds of the city to meet and collect from the people who had subscribed. A conscientious lot. they never shirked from their task. and in this way. helped greatly in the es. tablishment of a fund. so essential to the interests of a new parish interested primarily in the con- struction Of church for the few Catholic families of the time. compared to the population out here as of this day.
 Mrs. Mccarthy probably was best remembered by the patrons of the Miller and Peck dry goods store. It was here she was em. ployed for many years. and here 1t was she met her friends almost daily. and conversed with them
