Messages from North and South America Call for Peace in Warring Mexico Diplomats in Conference with Secretary Lan sing Agree to Give Armed Factions One More i opportunity to Agree upon Constitutional Government _ Washington, Aug. 5.—Armed factions in Mexico are to be :rn one more opportunity to say whether they are ready to male an honest effort among t hemselves to compose their dif ferences. A message expressing the co ncerted demand of North and South America that there shall be peace and restoration of constitutional government, addressed to all the Mexican political and military leaders, probably will be dispatched within a few davs. as one of the first result s of a conference at the State department today in which the six ranking diplomats of the Pan-American Legation corps participated with Secretary Lan at the invitation of Presid ent Wilson. While the appeal would be made to all the Mexican leaders, will be intended especially for General Carranza and his fol rs. who are opposed to another peace convention. ECHES SEIZURE m NOT MEANT FOR REPRISAL England Explains That Misun derstanding Was Caused by Brevity of Recent Note London, Aug. 5.—Hearing from the eomirrer.: on the correspondence be tween the United States and Great Britain that misapprehension has aris en with regard to the British note con ibtlity of the first in the Uiebon y article is repre prices to r reliable Wedding for the iful thud nahlished Lisbon Si ■p years t Lewiston, rating the steamer Neches, which it nt reported, had been interpreted as Ituir.c that the cargo of that vessel haSbeer. Feized as a reprisal measure igginst Germany's submarine policy, the foreign office explains that misun derstanding arises from the brevity of note. The seizure, the foreign office says, not meant in the nature of a re but was based on the British ition of the absolute legality of iers in council, as explained in ’•ote of July 23, to which the Ne note refers. fceeicr. office also explains that j stating that the British Govern does not yet know what steps neutrals have taken against the |Spbmarine policy it did not Include the United States tys has made public its pro this form of warfare.

port to a pan-American concert of ac tion. Fuller’s Report Today's conference was given ovf almost entirely to hearing a report conditions by Paul Fuller of New Tor 1 who spent several months in Mexic as President Wilson's personal repr. I sentative. It was understood tl j groundwork was laid for further a< tion tomorrow when the confcrent wil] bc resumed, which will constrtui the first of a succession of moves i end three years of revolution and cht os. No action was agreed upon t< day and it was understood that armt intervention was not mentioned. Plait ly it was the intention of the confe ence to exhaust peaceful means 1 j bring the Mexican factions togethe following closely what has been tl administration's policy from the firs and to make it clear to the world th; there is no object other than the pre; ervation of the sovereignty of Mexic j and to save the distracted counti i from itself. At the conclusion the Latin-Ameri can diplomats uniformly stated tha 'hey had accepted the invitation wit the stipulation that discussion shouf be confidential until a program ha I been perfected. Meeting with Secretary Lansing were Ambassadors Xacn of Argentina Dagama of Brazil, and Suarez of Chile and Ministers Medez of Guatemala Calderon of Bolivia and Depena o l rugruav. The ambassadors were in vited because they were the mediator who attempted to settle Mexican at fairs with delegates from that coun try at the Niagara Falls conference last summer. The ministers are the three ranking members of the Latin American legation corps. Carranza's Warning Before entering the meeting each o the Latin-American diplomats was no tifled on behalf of General Carranza that it would be futile to suggest re storing the constitutional line of gov ernment in Mexico, by choosing i member of the Madero cabinet, fo provisional president, which has beei suggested by some of the other fac tions, notably General Villa. This indicated that General Carran za had anticipated the probable pur pose of he conference, and had ac-te< promptly to place on record his oppo eition to stepping aside. One of tin outstanding views of the administra tion has been the forces which firs composed the constitutional govern ment had to become so widely separa ted by factional differences that i might b* necessary for all the militar; chiefs to step aside. General Carran za s notice that he was unwilling t< do this presented the first obstacle o the conference. One point upon which there seemed t< be unanimous agreement was that then shall be no prolonged diplomatic ex changes with General Carranza as then were during the Niagara Falls confer ence. The messages which will go t( him will be delivered by American Con sul Silliman at Vera Cruz, who, unde' definite instructions from Washington will insist upon an answer within a stip ulated time. General Carranza will b< asked to lay down his arms and joir with his adversaries in establishing a government which the United States wil' recognize. Alternative Not Clear The message to Carranza will presenl in a firm fashion the reasons why h< should adopt the course outlined. The al ternative in the event that Carranza declines to yield is not entirely clear. An important part of Mr. Fuller’s re port to the diplomats today concerned negotiations with other Mexican leaders. The results of conferences with General Felipe Angles, Diaz, Lombardo, Manuel Bonilla and General Villa himself wen disclosed. All were favorable to the gen eral plan. Villa expressed hie wlllingneat to eliminate himself if peace can be as sured. Thus the preliminary negotlationi necessarily revolve around Carranza.

Bavarian troops entered the city this morning, having taken successively the Blonie lines and the outer and in ner fortresses of the town itself, the Russians only fighting j rear guard actions to allow their main army to make good its escape. While to the Bavarian s commanded by Prince Leopold 5 has fallen the honor of taking over Warsaw in the name of the r German Emperor and his consort, who are expected to make 3 a state entry within a few days, the real conquerors are the troops fighting under Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, along 1 the Narew river to the northeast; to the Austro-Germans, who i crossed the Vistula south of the city, and to the armies of the Austrian archduke, Joseph Ferdinand, and the German field marshal, Von Mackensen, which are advancing northward be tween the Vistula and Bug rivers. i The Russians are fighting desperately and stubbornly to ’i check the progress of these four armies and have had several i successes, inflictfng heavy losses on their pursuers. But they i are being steadily pressed back after a defence which made the longer occupation of the Warsaw Polish salient a hazard ous undertaking. PRES. WILSON MAKES PLANS FOR DEFENCE i 1 \5fill Co-operate with Leading Authorities Toward Forming Broad Program of Prepara i tion to Repel Enemies __ I Cornish. X. H.. Aug. 5.—With the object of developing a broad and con 1 vincing program of national defence which will meet with the approval of Congress. President Wilson, is plan i ning to co-operate with the chairman of the military and naval affairs com 1 mittee of the War and Navy depart ments before finally deciding on the recommendations he will make in his j next message to Congress. The President told friends tonight, i that while he had made no definite plans for consulting with the chair man of the committees interested in the question of national defence, he would arrange to see thepn before Con gress convenes in order to unite on a single program of action. Awaiting Reports When the President sees the chair men of the four committees he ex pects to have before him the reports now being prepared by Mr. Garrison; and Mr. Daniels. The heads of the War and Navy departments are ex pected to take part in the conference or aeries of conferences in order to explain personally the recommenda tions. The President already has written to Chairman Padgett ef the House naval affairs committee inviting him to meet him on Mr. Wilson’s return to Washington. (Continuas an Pass 12—Columw n. Russian Danger Even now, although the steadiness of the Russian troops and their fierce counter-attacks have gained much val uable time for them, it is problemati cal whether the whole Russian army will succeed in reaching the new posi tions chosen for it or whether, if it should get there, it will not find those positions turned by the Austrians who have crossed the Bug southeast of Chelm and the Germans under Gen eral Von Scholz and Von Gallwitz, who have crossed the Karew. At the northeastern end of the line the Russian communications are fur ther threatened by General Von Bue low who is advancing toward Dvinsk on the Vilna-Retrograd railway. In deed, the Austro-Germans have 6et three traps to catch and destroy the Russian army. None of them was sprung, but one was sc near to clos ing that the Grand Duke Nicholas was forced to evacuate Warsaw and now is fighting with all his might to prevent the others from cutting off his retreat Warsaw Left Empty Thus far, he seemingly has been successful, for although the Germans claim the capture of a large number of prisoners, the aggregate Is small when compared with the immense forces en gaged.

Summer Foods As Cause of Dyspepsia Effect on Digestive Organs Re sponsible for Many Ills Summer should be the season of tnost perfect health but impure water and milk, unripe fruit and a tendency to over-lndulge in acid foods and iced Mrinks results in a contrary condition in many people. The effect of the average summer diet is to constipate even normally regular bowels, and disturb the di gestion. This condition can best be corrected by the use of a mild laxa tive that has combined with it the elements of a digestive tonic. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that are sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald well’s Syrup l’epsin is gentle, yet pos itive in its action and brings relief in an easy, natural manner, without griping or other discomfort A dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep sin on retiring each night will regu late the digestive organs and insure I healthy activity, irrespective of one’s diet. A .bottle of this splendid remedy should be in every household. It is not expensive and can be purchased for only fifty cents in drug stores everywhere. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 453 Washington St., Monti cello. 111. NATIONAL FORESTS TAKE IN $2,500,000 Timber Sale, Grazing, and Oth er Receipts for Fiscal Year Show Gain of More Than $40,000 Washington, Aug. 4.—The National forests turned into the U. S. Treasury during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, nearly $2,500,000, an increase of more than $40,000 over the receipts of the previous year, according to a statement Just issued by the Forest Service. The timber sales, which amounted to $1,164,000, yielded on ac count of the depressed condition of the lumber industry about $79,000 less than those of the previous fiscal year, but the gain was made possible by larger revenues from other sources. The grazing receipts, which totaled $1,126,000, increased $127,000 over last year, and the water power receipts, which amounted to not quite $90,000, showed an increase of nearly $42,000. The demoralization of the turpen tine industry on account of the war’s curtailment of the naval stores mar ket caused the receipts from the sale of turpentining privileges on the Na tional Forests to drop to about $9,000, as against nearly $15,000 last year. .The sale of special use permits, under which all sorts of enterprises, from apiaries to whaling stations, are oper ated on the Forests, yielded nearly $78,000, an increase of $9,000 over last year. There was a decrease of nearly $37,000 in the revenue derived by the settlement of trespass cases in which Government timber had been cut without intent to defraud, the revenue from this source' being only a little more than $3,000. More than $7,000, however, was collected from other timber trespass cases. Grazing tres pass cases yielding nearly $6000, an Increase of about $1000; occupancy trespass cases, which occurred in only one of the seven forest districts, turn ed in something less than $250; about $60 was derived from turpentine tres pass cases, and $660 from fire trespass Gee, I never tasted any Flakes like these New Post Toasties 1 They’re absolutely new-made by a new process that brings out the true com flavour and that keeps the flakes firm and crisp, even after cream or milk is added.

Aug. 5.—(Spe cial).—Hamlin F. Baton of Oaken, N. D., was the center of interest at the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Eaton Boarding and Day school which was observed Wednesday af ternoon and evening by the Eaton and Norrldgewock Alumni Association. Practically the whole of Norrldgewock and many from other towns and states gathered to do honor Wednes day evening to this venerable man now more than 75 years of age, who in his young manhood founded and made prominent this old school. Afternoon Gathering The afternoon gathering was in the old school building which had shel tered the school from the beginning but is now used by the Norrldgewock High school. There at 3 o’clock Mr. Eaton had the honor of calling the old pupils together as in former days and gave words of greeting. Election of officers followed, with Clarence Weston, the retiring president presid ing. Warrington P. Kidder of Jamaica Plain, a consulting engineer and a manufacturer of carbureters, was elected president; Henry Newton, New York, first vice president; Ed ward Hilton, Norrldgewock, second vice president; James W. Witherell. Oakland, third vice president; Miss Hattie Longley, Norridgewock. secre tary and treasurer; executive commit tee, Fred Jewett, and Hattie Miller of Norridgewock, Thomas Heald of Port land, Mrs. Florence Waugh Panforth, Skowhegan, Ira B. Hilton, Norridge wock. Resolutions Following the business the meeting was given over to some fun. L». L. Wal ton, Esq., of Skowhegan presented a series of resolutions, some of serious nature and some humorous, which were accepted and put upon the rec ords, as follows: “Whereas, in accordance with the privilege and custom of good Amerir can citizens, we feel it our duty at this time to express our views and desires upon certain matters of pecu liar and pregnant interest. Therefore, be it, “Resolved, that this association, while proud of the advancements and improvements made in the last half century, realize that there still remain other things to be adjusted and other wrongs to be righted, and hereby pledges itself in its extended influence to aid in all wise attempts to accom plish these results. “Resolved, that the boys and girls of 15 to 20 years of age appear much younger and more frivolous than as we observed them when we attended school. We recommend that our mem bers of 50 and 60 years of. age, and thus in the very prime of life, use their influence for the training and betterment of these children. We ask our members to be particularly cir cumspect in their Conduct, as we find more young men and women now, and not so many aged people as there used to be, to advise and caution us. “Resolved, that we would empha size the fact that the lady members of this association are fully capable of exercising all the rights of equal suffrage, not only in this organization, but in all municipal, State and nation al elections. “In this opinion those members, themselves, agree with us. “Resolved, «t hat future nominating committees, in submitting a list of offi cers for our annual elections, are here by requested to consider whether they ought to wait until every gentleman connected with thiB association has been chosen its president, before rec ommending some lady member for that high, exalted and sublime position. "Resolved, that we tender to Presi dent Wilson our sympathy and sup port in these days of grave responsi bility, difficulty and danger, in which he is striving to preserve peace and, at the same time, yield to exacting Germany no portion of our rights as a neutral nation and to harmonize conflicting factions in Mexico and pre vail upon them to cease their plunder ing of defenseless and inoffensive cit izens. "(This resolution is not to be cabled to Berlin, nor announced in Mexico.) “Resolved, that we are heartily in favor of peace. As an evidence of our good faith in the matter, we hereby tender the services of some of our most distinguished members as arbi trators between both the warring fac tions in Mexico and the belligerent na tions of Europe. In the first instance, we would confidently recommend the members of our executive committee for 1915 as fully qualified for that task. (Fred E. Jewett, James H. Witherell, Florence Waugh Danforth, Caroline Hilton and C. C. Kinsman.) (There is no restriction upon this resolution. It may be cabled to any capital in Eu rope). “Resolved, that it is a matter of great satisfaction and pleasure to us that we have with us on this 50th an niversary of the founding of the Ea ton Family and Day School, its hon ored principal and teacher, Hamlin F. Eaton, who has come across the con tinent to meet and to greet his form er pupils. We pledge him our contin ued 'ove and loyalty. "Resolved, that the word "old" and words “Mr." and “Mrs.” are not to be intentionally used, of and concerning any member of this association, at this reunion. They are to be addressed and designated by their ^lrst names only, exeept in the presence of per sons not duly enrolled as members. Nicknames, however, are not in any sense debarred." Evening’s* Entertainment Following the afternoon program, there was a space allotted for soci abiliy and supper was included in this. About 150 of the old students and townspeople assembled at the Baptist vestry where a most tempting array of foqd was set forth. This reunion was arranged on the progressive plan of changing places for different courses and accordingly the evening program was given in the Congregational church across the riv er. The feature of the evening was the presentation of a gold headed cane and purse of money to the venerable found er, Mr. Eaton, the speech being given by Warrington P. Kidder of Jamaica Plain. The cane was of mahogany with gold head hearing the inscription, "Presented to Hamlin F. Eattrn by Eaton School pupils 1865-1915.” As Mr. Eaton started to respond he was giv en a great ovation and after a few words of thanks went on to speak of tl?e many great changes in the coun try during the last half century and held the breathless attention of the audience Quite a number of former pupils gave three minute speeches on vari ous themes of the past, among them being Mrs. Carrie Hutchins, North Anson; Rev. Costello Weston, John Williams and George Russell of Read field; Charles Davis of Waterville, and L. L. Walton, Skowhegan. The speech es were intersitersed with readings and music, the latter including selections by Towne’s Orchestra, violin solos by Miss Lois Mantor of Skowhegan and vocal solos by Miss Ruth Greenwood of Skowhegan. Benediction w'as pro nounced by Rev. John H. Trites, pas tor of the Norridgewock Baptist church.

BLAME LEWISTON The Drunkenness in Bath— Good Enforcement in Sagadahoc Bath, Me., Aug. 4.—Were it not for the fact that Bath people have been able to purchase liquor in Lewiston for a long time, the total number of arrests for intoxication in this city for the year ending February 28, 1915, would have shown a marked diminu tion over the previous in the estima tion of Rev. Henry N. Pringle of the International Reform Bureau of Wash ington. Mr. Pringle, who was formerly one of the active secretaries of the Chris tian Civic League of Maine, has been making an investigation in this city and comparing the number of arrests under strict enforcement with previ ous years. According to his flgurqs there were 179 arrests for all causes for the year ending in February, 1915, of which 70 were for intoxication and three for FOR WEAK, SOUR, GASSY STOMACHS It’s torture to sit down to a well filled dinner table and know that to eat what you want means misery afterwards. Eat ever so little of the forbidden foods and you have to take so artificial dlgestants to stop the bloating, heartburn, sourness, gas and stomach lump that al ways follows. But the more of them you take the more you must and soon the pills become a part of your regular diet. You think you can not eat without them, but you can. There is an old time stomach prescription called Mi-o-na Stomach tablets that acts di rectly on the stomach itself and not on the food. One or two Ml-o-no tablets after each meal not only prevents all stomach distress but stimulates healthy natural flow of digestive Juices, strengthens the muscular walls and makes the stomach strong enough to do its own work and that's the only way to stop in digestion. Bowditch Web ster Co. and other dealers sell Mi-o-na on a guarantee of quick relief or money back. Get a package of Ml-o-na, keep It handy and watch your stom pepsln pills or other ach ills get out for good.—j^iv. .u«m i r 7 ■violations of the liquor laws: the to tal number of arrests for the corre sponding period ending in 1914 was 237, of which 107 were for intoxica tion and seven for violations of the liquor law and for 1913 there were 328 for all causes, of which 188 were for intoxication and 13 for violation of the liquor law. Mr. Pringle speaks in the highest terms of the enforcement work now being done in Sagadahoc county by Sheriff Wilbur C. Oliver and his dep uties. He imparts the information, however, that if a Bath man with a thirst feels that he wants to reach an oasis where beer flows like water he no longer will find it necessary to spend 35 cents to ty-olley to Lewiston. Lisbon Falls is nearer and in the opin ion of the former Civic League official there is no trouble in purchasing foamy beer within a few rods of the waiting station. A wide open condition exists also in Portland, according to Mr. Pringle, who says he has been told that one down-stairs saloon in the very heart of the city is paying a monthly rental of $500. Mr. Pringle says he is hard ly ready to believe that such an enor mous amounts is paid but says that a big business is being done there, the Saturday night trade requiring the services of five bar tenders. .Little Doggie of Summer Resi dent That Wags His Th& D* light fully Is Complain&jflif Doing Other Thingjrc Not So Nice _ MID SUMMER FAIR A SpCTf CESS IN ALL WAYS t£ ’’Ip Mrs. Guy F.

The annual meeting of the 14th Maine Rerimcttal Association was held GERMAN INFLUENCE IN AMERICA IS PROCLAIMED SECOND TO NONE San Francisco, Aug. 5.—German Influ ence in America for freedom, education, religion, culture and good citizenship was proclaimed second to none, in an ad dress here today by Dr. C. J. Hexamer of Pennsylvania, president of the Na tional German-American Alliance. Dr. Hexamer was the principal speaker at "German Day" at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Germany’s Place "What Greece was to Rome,” he said, "that Germany in the widest sense is tc our beloved land, only with the further distinction and advantage in our favor that the Greek brought to Rome w‘th his culture disgusting sensual vices, while the German with his culture brings to his new home sturdy integrity and a pure and happy family life." "German Day" at the exposition was set for early August, he explained, in commemoration of manifestoes issued in Philadelphia Aug. 1, 1775, by German churches and societies declaring for in dependence. He cited historians to show that at the battle of Long Island, the “Thermopylae of the American Revolu tion,” Pennsylvania riflemen under the German colonel, John Peter Kichlein, saved the American army. An Inborn Right ‘The Teuton does not derive law di rectly from the will of the nation,’ the speaker quoted. ’He claims for himself an inborn right, which the state must protect, but which it does not create and for which he is ready to fight against the world.’ The speaker Faid the German-Ameri can "asks no political favors and prosti tutes his vote for no one.” He said the census showed that Germany had fur nished "about 30 per cent, of our so called foreign population, while England —which I quote without Insidiousness for comparison only—gave us about 11 per cent., including those from Wales. "While quiet in their tastes, deeply ab-1 sorbed in the peaceful avocations of life, undemonstrative tc the verge of diffi dence, without clannish propensities, they have permitted their more aggressive neighbors to deny them a proper place even on the historic page.” DELEGATESTO THE GERMAN-AMERICAN CONVENTION AND FAIR San Francisco, Aug. 5.—The conclusion,, of the business session of the convention of the German-Anterican Alliance of the United States left the delegates free to day to devote themselves to sightseeing and a visit to the Panama-Pacific Expo sition, at which the day had been Eet aside for them as "German Day." In addition to the adoption yesterday of a resolution protesting agatnst the traffic in war materials between the United States and the enemies of Ger many, the alliance recommended the di vorcing of the tariff from politics; pro vided that in all future city, county, state and national elections members of the alliance shall work and vote for only such candidates as are favorable to German-Anterican principles and j ideals, and pledged the organization to j use its influence to place the saloon and liquor business on a healthy, higher and more dignilied plane. WORD FROM WARSAW ON MEASURES ADOPTED FOR HURRIED EVACUATION Warsaw, July 22.—fBy mail to retro grad and London, Aug. 4, 11 P. II.).—The hurried measures adopted for the evac uation of this city are shown in a num ber of official orders which have appear ed. These edicts direct the removal of the University of War to Moscow and the discontinuance of the administration of justice before the high courts after July 24. Another states tnat all horses, automobiles and other means of trans portation not removed to the right bank of the Vistula before July 18 will he sub ject to the requisition of the govern ment thereafter. Some of Edicts The order for the removal of the uni versity directs the faculty to leave to day and says that if it is found impos sible for them to return the courses will be continued at Moscow university, a famous educational institution. The edict discontinuing the law court s states that no new eases will he accept ed, that pending cases will he discon tinued and that 'sentences will he sus pended. A guardian is appointed for the law buildings pending this suspension which lasts "until further notice.” Newspapers Suspended An order from the governor general suspended three Jewish newspapers, but the editors have announced that funds contributed by American Jewish organ izations will permit the continued em ployment of the editorial staffs and pro vide three weeks' pay for the mechani cal force. A kitchen also has been estab 1 lished where employes may obtain dinner for Si kopecks (13 cents). Official plans have been published for the organization of the male civilian j population between the ages of 1? and 53 years for military work, such as trans portation. the building or roads and the digging of trenches. These plans pro vide that each 1000 shall be under the di rection of a "head man” with a centurion i for each 100. The "head men!’ and cen f unions will receive $1.32 a day, while i each worker will receive 50 c£nts a day and his beard. The trade organizations of civilians will be turned over to the I military authorities as complete units. GERMANY’S CONTENTION IN FRYE CASE LEAVES POINT STILL AT ISSUE Washington, Aug. 5.—The controver sy between the United States and Germany over the sinking of the Am erican ship William P. Frye still re mained unsettled with the publicatior today of the latest German note agair justifying the German course and re iterating a willingness to make rep aration for the ship. Germany’s Contention Replying to the last American rep resentations, Germany in justiiicatior of the sinking of the Frye, adheres tr her previous claim that the act was not in contravention of the Prussian American treaty or international law Point at Issue The whole controversy hinges or Article 13 of that treaty, the Ameri can contention being that it specific ally protected the Frye from beinj sunk, although not protecting a con traband cargo. Germany, on the oth er hand, contends that the article onli obligates her to pay damages. Wednesday at the headquarters at Lon: Island, Portland harbor.

The fire had got under sucl headway it could not be saved, ant was a total loss, together with a quan tity of hay, and a horse owned by Dr C. H. Bayard. Mrs. McDougall triec her best to unhitch the horse, bu: could not. Dr. Bayard had loaned his borse to John McCullough for th< summer and rented the McDougal barn. The cause of the fire is unknown Industrial conditions in Maine an generally healthy, according to Hon. B G. McIntyre, chairman of the State Board of Assessors, which on Wednes day made its annual visit to Knox coun ty. “A great deal of new building wa: dene last year and many new industria establishments are now being erected,’ said Mr. McIntyre. "Notable amoni them is the ehoe factory being built ii Augusta at large cost. The summei business, which is being hailed as gener ally bad throughout the State, I find t< be better than last year at Islesboro anc Rockland Breakwater." The others o: the State board at Rockland Wednesday are W. F. Dresser of South Portland anc J. J. Dearborn of Newburg. LlncOlz county was visited Thursday. Offer of Settlement In again offering to pay for the ship Germany acceps the Amerioan propo sal that the amount of damages be fix od by two experts, one to be selected by each country, and pledges prompt payment, with the stipulation, howr cver, that it -shall not be regarded as payment for violation of American rights. Should that method be unsat isfactory, the United States is invited to arbitration at The Hague. It is 11 considered likely that the commission method will be satisfactory to the United States, provided however, that no treaty rights are waived. Should j the United States allow the controver sy to go to The Hague for interpre tation of the treaty provisions or con 1 tinue to discuss the issue through dip lomatic channels it is virtually cer tain that it will insist that meanwhile Germany refrain from violation of what the United States contends are its rights. •I t i

M.—Speak ing to 10.000 Welshmen this aft ernoon before he heard of the fall of Warsaw, David Lloyd George, the minister of munitions, referred to the situation in the East In these terms: "I view it with anxiety but not with dread. I can see a ray of hope in the dark horizon—The regeneration of the great people of Russia. Our ene mies do not understand what they are doing in the East. Their mighty can non are shattering the rusty bars that fettered the soul of Russia. "Look at Warsaw—The Russian, people are shaking themselves free oft stifling debris, their mighty limbs pre paring with new spirits and new hope for a new land. "Austria and Prussia are doing for Russia what their military ancestors did for France. They are hammer ing a sword that will destroy them." The buildings of Beecher Sleeper at Sherman Mills were partly destroyedi by Are late Monday night, the fire, having caught around the chimney. The barn and the contents of the house were saved.

Childs Room 214 Savings Bank Building Telephone IB-1 LITHE BUILDING THIS YEAR IN WATERVILLE It has been a good many years since so Uttle building Was being done in Waterville as there is this summer. Where it was usual to see a number of houses going up, and at least one or two blocks, this year there is hardly a thing doing in that line. Across the river the Hollingsworth Whitney Co. is building a few new houses and they are also to build another large storehouse, on this side the Maine Central is to construct an addition to the car shops, but that is all that can really be said to be in sight. Har vey D. Eaton has the plans for a block on Main street next to the Edith building, but has made no move as yet to begin construction. Vilbon l Pomerleau also has the plans for a block near to Bay View hotel but has not started operations on it and says now he is not going to this summer. Howard Morse is having plans drawn for a block on Temple street but will do nothing on it this summer. It is also rumored that -the Coburn Classi cal Institute is to build a new boys’ dormitory, but no signs of it have appeared as yet. A well-known Bos ton lumber dealer who has a great deal of business in Maine said last fall, in talking of business conditions, "Next summer everyone will be talk ing about how business is to boom, but they will be hanging onto their money and business will be about the same as now, it will be at feast an other year before we will see any real business." Local business men are about ready to agree with him, al though in the stores of Waterville, the number of buyers has been very fair, attracted doubtless by the fine values offered by the merchants here. Wat erville is certainly not suffering from depression, neither is it having the business boom that everyone looked forward to for this summer. Miss Effle Lowe, who has t>een pla iting with relatives in Old Town, has returned to her home in this city, Misses Helen and Myra Redington have returned from a vacation visit to Boothbay Harbor. Harold Libby has returned from a visit in Burnham with his grandpar ents, Mr. aad Mrs. Oscar Farrington. Hon. Cyrus W. Davie, who has been at his home in this city for a few days, returned to Portland Thursday afternoon. Harry F. Webber, manager of the Waterville Iron Works, returned Thursday from a business trip to Bos ton in the interests of the works. Tennis Tourney Planned The tennis players in the city are plan ning for a tournament to be held during the next few weeks. A great many of the young people have been taking 0 great Interest in the game the past sum mer and some good sport is looked for.

To this Premier Viv ani gave response in the name of the [overnment. A message from President Poincare vas read in the chamber by Premier k'ivianl and in the senate by Aristide Jriand, minister of justice.

WHY GASOLINE Should be “HOMOGENEOUS” GOOD gasoline is a straight distilled refinery product, not a ‘‘blend” or a “mixture.” Mixtures are not good because they do not stay mixed. The lighter fraction goes off first, leaving behind a heavy residue which makes starting difficult and is a frequent cause of carbonization. SOCONY Motor Gasoline the old “Standard Gasoline”—is a straight-dis tilled, homogeneous product, every drop like every other drop. Gasoline bought under the SOCONY sign is quick-starting, powerful, and economical. Garages and supply stations displaying the red, white and blue SOCONY sign are authorized distributors of SOCONY Motor Gasoline and' POLARINE, the Standard Oil for All Motors.

A SQUAB FARM IS INTERESTING SIDE LINE AT FAIRFIELD Fairfield, Me., Aug. 5.—(Special).— William B. Tracy of Western Ave nue, has devoted his spare time for i the past 20 months to raising squabs j for eating purposes and finds the oc- 1 cupation to be an interesting as well as profitable one. One year ago last j November, Mr. Tracy purchased eight j pairs of Extaa Plymouth Rock Homer Pigtvna. and partitioning off the larg er part of his hen house, started the business of raising squabs. That part of the hen house which he intended to use for the purpose he' divided into i two parts. In one part were placed the double nests for the pairs, which he called the “breeding pen.” In the second part were placed the “young sters” which the Intention of the own sr is to keep, for further breeding purposes. Each pair of pigeons is numbered with leg bands, a band on the right leg of the male, and on the left leg off the female. The birds build their own nests, using for foun dation the pulp bowl which is placed In one of the partitioned halves of an orange box. To that place they carry tobacco steins which are placed in a irate in the center of the pen. The fe 1 t 1 1

A petition was presented to the Penobscot board of county commis sioners at the county building at Ban gor Tuesday morning signed by a number of residents of Patten asking that the board lay out a county high way from Shin pond to Matagammon postofflee. The petitioners state that the road that they are asking for is necessary for public convenience and travel through the section. At the last legislature a resolve was passed in favor of the Shin pond road, pro viding that if the county would raise $1000, and provide materials the State would appropriate $1000 for the road, the maintenance of the road to be taken care of by the county. This stipulation has never been accepted by the county commissioners, as they claim it would prevent them from as sessing any of the cost against the landowners. Whether or not they can proceed under the old law now that the Legislature has passed this re solve Is a matter they are taking un der advisement. Leo J.

We have not verified the following j interesting statistics compiled by a J friend, but have confidence in their j accuracy because he has written much j for the Journal and his statements j have never been refuted. It may pay you, in these piping times of Democ- i racy and draught beer to read this letter: Editor Kennebec Journal: I saw an item in the Journal a few days ago stating that the wealth of the nation exclusive of Alaska, etc., was $130,000,000,000. Now this is an enormous, an in comprehensible sum. But the writer of the article must have j been using some of the old statis tics, for the official returns of the Census Buerau of 1913 gave the total wealth as $187,000, 000,000. and if we have Increased In valuation in the past three years as fast as we have since the figures were given in 1&04, our wealth is now more than $200,000, 000,000! This means that the average amount of property owned by each man, woman and child in the United States is about $2000. The average wealth in Maine is about $1500 p°r capita. The rea son we are not up to the average is we have no large manufactur ing industries or large cities in which so much money value con centrates. Maine people are large ly engaged In agriculture. While the percentage of men in New England engaged in farming is but 13.7 per cent, Ihe percentage in Maine is about 33 or about 284 times as large as tbe average. But Maine’s increase in valua tion and per capita wealth since the former census was taken is one of which we should all be proud. The average increase per capita of the other five New England states is $274. Maine's increase in the same time was $324. In Massachusetts, "spurred'’ on by free rum, it was but $133. In Rhode Island it was but $7. While from 1900 to 1912 Maine Increased $438, Massachusetts gained but $251. and Rhode Island but $51. Maine's percentage of increase in the same period was 44.8, New Hampshire, 30, Massa chusetts 18, and Rhode Island but 3. From 1904 to 1912 Maine in creased 39.8. New Hampshire. 22. Massachusetts, 8, Rhode. Island less than 84 of one per cent. Connecticut 35. and those great hives of industry and commerce, New York, New Jersey and Penn sylvania gained but 40. 38 and 13.5 per cent respectively. If the sober, .sturdy, indus trious people of Maine, can, with their limited opportunities so far outstrip the great states of Mas sachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl vania, what could they do if they were placed in position of equal advantage? A national valuation. If taken now, would show Maine to be worth $1,175,000,000. The valuation placed by the State As sessors this year will be about $505,000,000, but this does not in clude nearly all of the property. And besides the finances of our State were so skillfully managed that this county (Waldo) received of the State Treasurer $28,831, 15 more than the entire State tax assessed upon it. And just think that this was all done without any help from any rum license so earnestly advocated by a certain class of our citizens! What rum state can show as clean and pros perous a record? Thorndike, Me., C. E. SMITH. “Draught Beer and Drunks.” The below quoted paragraphs are from the Lewiston Sun. But the Sun must be mistaken, because beer Is "light" booze and distinctly NOT in toxicating, designed by rum trust philanthropists to take the place of whiskey and other “hard" stuff and thus save the nation from its over powering thirst. Beer is a life sav er, puts out fire and mitigates the ne cessity of sending to Boston for the "poison,’’ which is always shipped to Maine patrons when the prohibitory law is enforced. We are sorry our friend the Sun has made such a mis take as to think these dozens of men were "drunk”—they were only exem plifying "personal liberty”—but it says: "Just to show how much they appre ciated the efforts of the local rum sellers to secure draught beer for their regular customers and others, more peo ple than usual, according to police re ports, drank themselves drunk yesterday. The enthusiasm of the beer drinkers was Intense at times—in fact It knew no bounds. Whether they did It to prove the possibilities of six ounces of beer and two ounces of foam when taken from an eight ounce glass, or as a thank offering to the rumsellers, is not stated. “As a matter of fact the beer flood •semed to hit the transients hardest. It is said that many came to town for the express purpose of attending the grand opening of draught beer. Two strangers who were arrested in the late afternoon 1 told an ofllcsr that they had "seen th’ ad In the paper" and put themselves out considerably to be here early knowing that they must pperate with a short glass. The same two were also here Dollar Day. "All of the saloons were running beer like -water yesterday. That is to say, tbs beer, wasn’t like water, not exactly, it Just run that way. Ail of the popu lar brands, high grades and low grades 'were offered to the drinker. Uniform sight ounce glasses were used and were filled to the brim with beer and foam. Why, Tuesday was a regular wash day put over from Monday. "Twelve individuals were arrested for {drunkenness d^-inr the ifutsam in w 1 fe-^-t Lewiston. As many more were ahowt the way home or to some other I astro place and then a few were left to etaggei about the streets. In Auburn also, then were signs of draught beer-in Lewiston although in Auburn no arrests for in toxicatlon were made during the day. American Shipbuilding Decline. Our domestic construction 'of ocean tonnage fell oft 95.8*7 gross tops, tm the fiscal year 1915 as compared with 1914, though there was a large in crease to our tonnage of forelgn-buiM vessels In the fiscal year 1915. accord ing to a recent statement of the Democratic publicity bureau of the Department of Commerce, which ex hales a sigh of conscious rectitude in a bulletin on the "Growth of American Merchant Marine.” According to the Department’s fig ures there were constructed in the United States during the fiscal year 1914. 1291 vessels of 311.578 gross tons, and for the fiscal year 1915, 1228 ol 215,71 gross tons. This statement ii dismissed as of small importance, and is followed by one showing the regis tration under the Ship Registry Act ol August 8, 1914—147 foreign built ves sels of 528.907 gross tons, making the total for the year from both sources 1373 vessels of 744,618 gross tons. "This tonnage," says the Depart ment, “is the largest annual addition to the American merchant fleet in th* history of the United States. In 1908 the total increase was 718,683 gross tons, in 1907 it was 596,708 gross tons, and in 1855 it was 586,102 gross tons.” No mention is made of the cause, any more than they will acknowledge that our large export trade is due t« the European war. Neither Is an> reference made to the torpedoing ol our merchant marine by the so-called seamen’s bill passed by a Democratic Congress and which is so restrictive in its nature that the Pacific Mall line, the Robert Dollar vessels, and many ethers, have announced their in tention of braving the hazards of war and hoisting a foreigifi flag on No vember 2nd, next, when the seamen’a bill goes into effect. A very slipshod, piece of legislation was the Ship Registry Act. It was a feeble attempt on the part of the Democrats to resuscitate our mer chant marine—a vain hope that ves sels taking advantage of the act to es cape the consequences of flying a bel ligerent flag would remain under the stars and stripes. Followed by the seamen's act, even its temporary ef ficacy is destroyed. Under a resolution adopted by the Board of Education of New York city over 40,000 public school children, whe stutter, stammer, lisp or have the “tic* defect In their speech are to be spec ially looked after with a view to giv ing them normal articulation. The first of all, giving to every teache; who has speech-defective scholari special medical instruction as to how to control and cure these defects. It it likely that one or two terms of spec ial instruction, so arranged as not tc Interfere with regular school attend ance. will be sufficient to divert tht average boy or girl stammerer, lisper etc. into a child of normal speech whe will face much brighter prospects ol success in the world, than if the de fect followed them in adult life. If this weather holds, thousands of tons of hay, blackened by long exposure tc fog and rain, will at last get undei cover in Maine. As a whole, the croi will not be worth one-half what It would have been if the weather through Julj had been favorable for harvesting opera tions.— Biddeford Journal. But that was written yesterday wher the sun shone and that sort of weathei didn't hold. With the sky overcast this morning and the prediction, rain for to day and tomorrow, the hay crop must keep right on getting blacker and blackei and less valuable.—Portland Express. 1 That was written Wednesday and since then predictions have been ful filled and at the present writing, Thursday, are being fulfilled somt more; and the hay crop is still keep ing right on getting blacker, exdepl where new grass has grown up through it and blossomed. When Jealousy and selfish interests are Allowed to pursue and persecute such as Judge Lindspy of Denver Juvenile court, and Thomas Mdtt Os borne, warden of Sing Sing prison, the public deserves what it gets. The names of Lindsey and Osbofne will be held in respect when the politicians and shysters who trick the public into discarding them are in oblivion. Col. Condon of the Manchestei Union may brag about Celestial New Hampshire and his personal ability to ca— to tell brook trout stories, but we are distinctly proud of the public rage for our peas, as indicated by the number of editorials they have called out in the great newspapers of the eastern states. DID TOC HEAR where Villa told the. Alexander the Great started out to conquer the World and he succeeded pretty well until he received notice that he was wanted elsewhere. His possessions then went into the junk heap. Napoleon was another high flier, but he retired to a secluded spot to meditate on the instabilit} o earthly things. Ambition is a good thing if well directed. If used to op press others the wielder of the weapon is very likely to find out how a boomerang works. Does the Kaiser or anyone else know how these wars will end? Can you tell how long you will live? You Cannot; so take things cool and don’t w’orry. There will be on end, and pray to the good Lord that it may come soon. A CIVIL WAR NET. Light and Airy Comparative Joking.

Editorial Comment Perkin* and Boston’s Fish (Worcester Telegram) I George W. Perkins has shocked Bos- ton. He is one of a commission ap- pointed by Mayor Mitchel of New York to suggest better marketing fa cilities at New York for fish, to re duce the cost of food fish to the con- t sumers. He. looked over the $3,000,000 fish pier at Boston and made report of it. “What’s the matter?” asked shock ed Boston. And Perkins answered: "During their progress through the in stitution, the fish, I noticed, were pitch-forked seven times. I should say that an entire reconstruction of the pier would be needed to make pos sible greater swiftness and economy in the handling. It looks to me as if a large part of your $3,000,000 invest ment had been sunk so far as benefit to the consumer is concerned—and after all no arrangement of marketing facilities is justifiable which does not have him as its chief concern.” That surely should shock Boston. Of course the pier was built for the benefit of the promoters and constructors. It is not bad as a bunch of material thrown together for a fish pier, but the handl ers of the fish taken from boats have to pitchfork each fish seven times, and that is not fair even to dead fish. Every stab at a fish means more cost to the mortal who finally eats such fish. That is a kind of warfare which is not. becoming to Boston. It is a continuous thrust at the food money of all New England and some of New York. Seven pitchfork stabs are not reasonable. Of course it makes more work for the fish handlers, and they are paid wages, and that far In the argument the $3,000,000 fish pier is a success. Perhaps the fish handlers insisted that they should be allowed seven stabs at each fish when the pier was constructed, but that does not change the wrong of it all. But Per kins put over one more on Boston that hurts. He said there are forty-four firms all more or less pawing over the fish as they coma and go at theSpier.

McLarrv dropped a Texas leaguer into left for two bases. Archer advanced him to third on a sacrifice. Stallings instructed Tyler to pass. Pelham in hopes of retiring the side on a double play when Humphries came to bat. In stead Knisely was sent to bat for him, and again the Bost#h manager ordered the batter passed, filling the bases. Saior went to third and ran for Mc Larry, scoring the winning run on Murray’s single, which shot past the drawn-in infield. Boston played an up hill game and Tyler's homer in the ninth tied the count. Tyler ran for Whalirig in^the seventh and scored the second run on bunched hits, while Vaughn’s wildness, coupled with a timely hit in the third, gave Boston its first run.

E. L. throne of speed and our flashes, Ghost Becker and Speed Maloney, as Maloney was clocked two-fifths of a second faster and Becker one-fifth ahead of the Porter. The times going to the first sack as clocked in the game Wednesday on the Lewiston Athletic Park are: Maloney, 3 2-5. Becker, 3 3-5. Porter, 3 4-5. The watch was held by John T. Scruton, who took the time from the crack of the bat to the stamp of the foot at the cushion. Scruton knows how to hold a stop watch, as timing is on? of his hobbies, as he occasion ally takes out his stopped watch to see whether the speedometer on his two fivers is rolling as it ought. Chance to verify the times taken by a second snapping was not possible, as every time but the one taken, the

i Players were forced to do more than canter to the first station. Maloney was undoubtedly the fast est of the trio and he looked it. The time taken on Porter was in the first inning when he was thrown at first by Prysock. The play was about a step ahead of the runfter, but the Lynn man had every incentive to make the best time to first that he could knock out, as the ball was not in his sight and he had no way of knowing that he was being thrown out. Maloney's time was taken in the eighth when he negotiated the distance in time to beat out an infield hit to third. He beat the play by a step. The time that was caught on Pat rick Maloney was good under the con ditions, as the ground was heavy and much more so than in the first Inning when the man flying the Lynn colors was caught. Becker was grabbed when he made his home run in the same inning that Maloney was nabbed and he also had every reason to sprint. The play was in front of him at that time and he was stretching for extra bases. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Harrisburg 5, Buffalo 6; (second! Harrisburg 1, Buffalo 5.

Me., Aug. 5.—(Special).—Th first meet of the Gardiner Gun Club wa pulled off Thursday according to th plans laid although at one time it looke as though Jupiter Pluvtus would cal the meet off. There was a much large attendance than one would have natural ly looked for. considering the state o the weather, and this fact of itself is ai encouraging feature as it shows the dee interest taken in the work of the club Those attending expressed themselves a much pleased at the location and th t interest is bound to grow instead of de creasing. There were three events in all, helm for 25 birds each. The following are th scores. Libby, Harrington and Kste were tied with 52 from a possible 75. 1st 2nd Event. Event. 3rd Event.

Bar Harbor. Me., Aug. 5.—Joseph T Bowen and Alllster McCormick, botl of Chicago, qualified for the finals li the Maine Lawn Tennis championshi] in singles by defeating two Philadel phians, Robert S. Potter and R. Lan dreth In the semi-finals today. Botl matches were decided in straight heats PORTLAND1 MAY LOSE BASEBALI Portland, Me., Aug. 5.—A radical charg Is to be made next season in the Ne\ England League circuit, without a doubt and the chances are that certain club will be dropped and that the league wil be stretched over more territory, includ lng Springfield, Mass., Hartrord, Ct., Nee Haven, Ct., and perhaps another city oi the late Eastern Association. Just whai will be done In this line is a question of course, but that some sort of a shift will be made*is generally understood. Feeling that some such change wil be made and anxious to be In right,' Hugh Duffy is seeking an option on grounds In Springfield, Mass., and may take the Portland franchise there If matters do not look better to him here than they do at present. One big com plaint Mr. Duffy has, and a thing which bothers hundreds of the ‘fans, in fact, Is that there is no spur track running to Bayside Park from Oxford street. Ab sence of such a track keeps some 200 or 800 fans from each game, especially when clouds threaten rain and Mr. Fan figures that he will have a wet walk up the hill to Oxford street in such an event. An other thing which hurts is the stagnant, molasses-for-blood, vein equipment of numbers of men who assemble outside the fence at Bayside and watch the game either from the tops of numbers of business house wagons and auto trucks drawn up along the fence or watch it through a fence which has been honeycombed with holes by the fans. Mr. Duffy feels that the railroad com pany should seek track rights to the park and he also feels that the asso ciation which owns the park should pro tect his rights by fencing which would cut oft the piker graft. BOXING NOTES New Bedford is to start again in the boxing game next Monday. A1 Shubert and Jimmy Taylor will appear in the feature bout. Jimmy Clabby has been offered a chance in Australia to meet Le Dersey, who recently put a K. O. over on Ed. McGoorty. Soldier Bartfield and other boxers who have been using back-hand blows, must stop the practice in bouts in New York, as the Boxing Commissioners have ruled against them. Twenty-round bouts are to be staged in Montreal next winter. MAN HELD IN TEXAS CHARGED WITH THREATS TO PRESIDENT i i E i

San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 5.—Charged with threatening the life of President Wilson and also with threatening to kill former President Theodore Roose velt, F. H. Juergens, 26 years of age. is in jail here today in default of $2000 bail. The charges were preferred by J. L. Camp, L'nited States district at torney. Juergens was arrested after the al leged letter to the President had been mailed at Austin and intercepted by postoffice inspectors, according to the district attorney’s office. It was writ ten. they said, on stationary of a well known business man of Austin and signed with his name, but he was not believed to be connected with the af fair. The letter to President Wilson as serted that the writer was a mem ber of an alliance of ISO men who would not rest until the l'nited States observed "strict and impartial neu trality,” the test of which would be the refusal of this country to sell mu nitions to the allies. Unless this pur pose was accomplished, the writer threatened the destruction of the na tional oapitol, the White House and finally the life of the Chief Executive.

Wednesday filed a petition in vol untary bankruptcy) His liabilities, all incurred while acting as president of the Springvale Spinning Company, were given as SU.000, and his assets as 1100. On Sept. 24. 1915. he signed a mortgage for $20,000. as the presi- I dent of the company. His liabilities are in the form of accommodation pa- per of the company. The failure of j George W. Hanson and others after j the Mousam River Trust Company war placed in the hands of a receiver made it necessary for Hill to ask for a release from his debt incurred during his nresidenev. it Bombs Now as Respectable I as Rifle-Visit to the Schoell Where the Throwers Leaj (Associated Press Correspondence) British Headquarters, France, July 20.—It was at a bombing school on a French farm where chosen soldiers brought back from the trenches were being trained in the use of the An archist's weapon which has now be come as respectable as the rifle. Specialism develops as the war goes on. There are no M. R degrees for Master Bombers yet; but that may come, any day. Present was the chief instructor, a young Scotch subaltern with blue eyes, a pleasant smile and a Cock of j the North spirit. He might have been twenty years old, though he did not 1 look it. On his breast was the purple and white ribbon of the new order of the Military Cross which you get for doing something in this war which would have won you a Victoria Cross in one of the little wars. Also present was the assistant in srtuctor, a sergeant of regulars—and very much of a regular—had three ribbons which heT h|ld "won in previous campaigns. He too had blue eyes, bland blue eyes. These two un derstood each other. "If you don't drop it, why it’s all j right," said the Sergeant. "Of course, if you do—” We did not drop it. "And when you throw' it, sir, you must look out and not hit the man be hind and knock the bomb out of your hand. That has happened before now to an absent minded fellow when you throw bombs.” “They say that you sometimes pick up the German bombs and chuck them back betore they explode,” it was i suggested. "ies, sir. I've read things like that in some of the accounts of the report ers who write from ‘Somewhere in France.’ You don’t happen to know where that is, sir? All I can say is that if you are going to do it you must no quick about it. I shouldn't advise i delaying your decision, sir, or perhaps when you reach down to pick it up neither your hand nor the bomb would be there. They'd have gone oft to gether. sir.” •'Have you ever been hurt in your handling of bombs?” one asked. Sur prise in the bland, blue eyes. “Oh. no. sir! Bombs are well be- J haved if you treat them right. It's all j ir. being thoughtful and considerate of them! Meanwhile he was jerking at some kind of a patent fuse set in a shell of h’gh explosive. “This is a poor kind. sir. It’s been discarded, but 1 thought that you might like to see it. Never did like it I Always making trouble:” Mere distance between the audience and the performer. 1 "Now I’ve got it, sir—get down, 1 sir:” I The audience carried out instruc-,, tions to the letter as army regulations require. We got behind the protec- j' tion of one of the practice trench traverses. He threw the discarded 1 beyond another wall of earth. There was a sharp report, a burst of smoke j and some fragments of earth were tossed into the air. In a small affair of two hundred yards of trench the other day it was estimated that the British and Ger- j mans together threw about five thou sands bombs in this fashion. It was enough to sadden any Minister of Munitions. However, the British kept the trench. "Do the men like to become bomb ers?” one asked the subaltern. "I should say so. It puts them up in front. It gives them a chance to throw something—and they don’t get much cricket in France, you see. We; had a pupil here last week, who broke i the throwing record for distance. He was pleased as punch with himself. A first class bombing detachment has a lot of pride of corps.” To bomb has become as common a verb with the army as to bayonet. “We bombed them out:” means a sec tion of trench taken. As you know a trench is dug and built with sandbags in zigzag traverses. In following the course of a trench it is as if you'fol lowed the sides of the squares of a checker board up and down and across on the same tier of squares. The square itself is a bank of earth with j the cut on either side and in front of it.

Aug. 5.—C. J. Hamlin, Buffalo loader of the Progressives went hack tonight to the Republican party. He resigned as county chairman and, after a talk with George W.

On the Hamlin aide, giving reasons why the Progressives had quit were Frederick M. Davenport, and Theodore Douglas Robinson. Mr. Davenport said that Theodore Roosevelt was big enough and broad enough to recognise that the men who believed in going Into the Republican party to tight fofc Progressive princi ples, were making the same fight as he is, if in a different way. ’‘Mr. Roose velt,” said Mr. Davenport, “knows the future of Progressive principles de pends upon the co-operation of Pro gressives and Progressive-Republicans. But Mr. Roosevelt since he was cap tain, will stay by the Progressive ship until it goes down.” BRITISH NEWSPAPERS COMMENT ON THE FALL OF POLISH CAPITAL London, Aug. 6.—(2.05 A. M.).—All the London morning papers today deal edi torially with the fall of Warsaw. "The news will have a far-reaching ef fect on the world at large," says the Pady Telegraph, "and it would be fool nh to underrate its significance. Politi cally we can well imagine that the lat nt news of the retreat of the Russians and the irresistible advance of the ene my tray be of extreme utility to the na tion anxious to impress the world with its martial qualities, and especially to persuade neutral powers like the Balkans that the god of battles has given victory uter and inner lines of the city's de 'ences, where the rear guards of the Russian troops made a tenacious re listance. Continuing the report from head luarters says: "The German armies under General on Scholz and General von Gallwitz tdvanced in the direction of the road tetween Lomza. Ostrov and Vyszkov, md fought a number of violent en gagements. The brave and desperate esistance of the Russians on both ides of the road between Ostrov and lozan was without success.

LEWISTON ARREST PROMISES TO BREAK SERIES OF ROBBERIES j Lewiston, Me., Aug. 5.—The Lewiston j police believe that the arrest of Jack Clark, 21 years old, who was caught red handed by Capt. Murphy and Policeman Heffernan in.-..the second hand store of Max Berman, 57 Main street, Wednes day night, broke up a series of operations in these cities planned for three men. Capt. Murphy has in his possession a secret cipher code enclosed in an en- i i velope which he took from Clark. He be lieves he has traced a connection with the break to two men in addition to Clark. Conductor Parent of the Lake Grove car came into the transfer station at 9 1 o'clock Wednesday night and notified Pa- 1 1 trolman Heffernan that lie saw a man standing in the doorway of Berman's as the car went by. He thought the man was coming out the doorway, and. as the police figure, the man had broken the glass of the door and closed the screen door just as the car went by. Some 1 thing in the manner of this man struck Conductor Parent ns suspicious. Capt. Murphy remained on Lisbon 1 street and Heffernan went at once to Berman's store. He saw the glass had been broken and sent a man to notify Capt. Murphy. At first it looked as though an in toxicated person had broken the glass, but the conditions were out of the or dinary, because the screen door must have been opened before the glass could be broken. Apparently having left the place the officers returned later and Capt. Murphy saw a man’s head over a pile of clothes. A man who was passing was called upon for aid and sent to the rear of the store. Capt. Murphy remained at the door and Heffernan went down a couple.of buildings to get the key. A few moments later the door was opened and the man was found by Capt. Murphy at the rear of the shop partially concealed under a pile of clothing. The man appeared uncon scious and remained in that condi tion until Dr. Gauvreau examined him at police headquarters. He told the police his name was Jack Clark and that he hailed from Quincy, Mass. This, he said, was his first visit to Lewiston. In the right coat pocket he had a pair of new shoes. A suit of! clothes and cap had been laid aside to take with him. 25 MILLON DOLLAR INCREASE IN N, E. T. T.

Review of Most Terrific Contest of the War-That for Warsaw’s Possession The fall of Warsaw marks the cul mination of the greatest sustained of fensive movement of the European war. Thrice before Teutonic armies have knocked at its gates only to be denied by the strength of its defences and the resistance of the forces hold ing It. Apparently impregnable in the face of direct attack, it was compel led to capitulate before the sweep of a vast movement which threatened to encircle the capital and with it the Russian armies engaged in the cam paign of which it was the storm cen ter. From the north, the northwest, the west and from the south and south east the Austro-German forces have been pressing upon the Polish capital in the effort to drive the Russians out of Poland and, if possible, to break their offensive power for an indefinite period. The movement may he said to have had its inception in May when the great Teutonic march through Ga licia began. To get at the Russian armies in Poland from the southeast it first was necessary to clear the greater part of Galicia of the troops of that nation. Von Mackensen’s Campaign Field Marshal von Mackensen’s cam paign in its first important stage cul minated when, late in June, Lemberg was retaken and the Russians were driven over the Galician border. Then early in June, the Teutonic forces coming up from the south halted while preparations were made for the next stage of the campaign. Signs of the form this was to take, soon were apparent. Great armies had been assembled to the north, and these early in July began pressing down upon the Russians. A vigorous Offensive was opened in the Baltic provinces, the Teutonic troops attacked from point to point along the east Prussian border, and with Field Mar shal von Hindenburg directing the general operations along this section of the fighting front a determined drive began in the Przasnysz region. Simultaneously in the south Von Mackensen resumed his advance, co operating with the Austrians. Step by step the Austro-German hosts pounded their way toward the doom ed city from north and south, while on the west activity was resumed. Nicholas Falls Back Grand Duke Nicholas began to fall .back. Przasnysz, to the north of tVar |Baw was occupied and by July 19 the .Germans had forced the Russians back ^to the line of the N’arew river and ;pushed their way to within 20 miles iof their goal. The fortress of Ostolen jka was taken and the key to Warsaw ,on the north, the Xowogeorgievsk for Itiflcation, was approached. To the (south Radom was occupied and the ^Russian lines of communication tn the (Lublin region were threatened. Then began a tightening of the Ger Jman lines around the capital. The (Teutons forced their way past the ■Blonie line southwest of the city, pushed their way across the river .N’arew below Ostrolena and the bat tering at the fortified gates of, the city .was begun in earnest on Tuesday of this week by Bavarian troops under command of Prince Leopold of Ba varia. From the beginning of the war the salient in the Russian line formed by the band necessary to include War saw and a large portion of Poland had been a thorn in the flesh of the Rus sian military authorities. They showed this by their desperate and at times partially successful attempts to straighten their fighting front. Before they could advance at the center and move west from Warsaw' the wings must he brought up so as to prevent successful flanking movements. Before last winter set in they had succeeded in pressing their way through Galicia and were nearing Cracow, which is almost directly on a line south of the Polish capital. Spring Movement In the spring, however, after Prze mysl had fallen into their hands and they were threatening to move toward the German border and to invade Hungary, came the organized Austro German movement which re-captured the great Austrian fortress and swept the Russian lines back further east in some sections than they had been early in the war. The Warsaw salient, thus exposed hazardously from the South, was additionally threatened by the German advance in the Baltic provinces, which acted not only as a supporting movement to the flank at tack on Warsaw but threatened to cut off the retreat of the Russian armies. The first determined drive against Warsaw from the west occurred last Oc tober and within a short time the Ger man advance penetrated to within 19 miles of the city over which German aeroplanes and Zeppelins flew. The Rus sians moved troops hastily from Galicia and Warsaw slipped from the hands of the Germans in the face of a vigorous Russian counter-offensive which swept them back to the borders. Shortly afterward the second attempt was launched from the same direction and gathered force until a great battle developed along the rivers Warta and Vistula. The Russians cut off and appar ently surrounded two German corps, which, however, managed to cut their way out. Later pitched battles were fought around Lodz, which the Germans captured on Dec. 6 and before long the two armies found themselves entrenched along the famous Bzurka-Rawka front. After that the fighting on this front as sumed the form of trench warfare, as It had In the west. Another attempt at Warsaw occurred in February. This time the attack came from the north and Field Marshal von Hindenburg's forces reached and captur ed Przaslysz, with 10,000 prisoners on Feb. 25. Three days later, however, the (Russians recaptured it. Hammering along Ithls line and at other sections south and iwest from the East Prussian frontier continued for months, but not until the Inception of the present campaign was (there anywhere a serious break in the (Russian defences. Warsaw lies on the Vistula, 625 miles •outhwest from Petrograd and 320 miles east of Berlin. It Is an Important indus trial center apd Its population Is esti gated at not from W0,C0fc GERMANS IN WARSAW (Continued from Page 1) been denuded of virtually everything that might be useful to the Teutons. Factories had been stripped of their machinery and all war stores moved into the interior of Russia and the gov I ernment of the city left to the Polish population. Will Evacuate Riga I The Russians also are preparing to evacuate Riga, the port on the gulf of that name In the north. The arrival of the Germans 10 miles south of Riga al ready has been the cause of the civilian population departing. While expressing the fullest confidence In the future, the British military critics make no attempt to belittle the achieve ments of the Teutons or the efTect their success is likely to have in the near east and the west. The German Feat Since early in May, when they started their great counter-offensive in western Galicia against the Russians who were debouching through the Carpathians on to the plains of Hungary, the troops of j the Germanic powers have cleared the Russians out of Galicia with the excep tion of a narrow strip of territory in the I southwest, have recaptured Przemysl i and Lemberg, taken Lublin, Chelm and Warsaw, and are in military occupation of virtually the whole of Poland. What their next move will be is a mat ter of conjecture. Some military observ ers believe they will continue to attack the Russians in the hope of finally crushing them, a task which it is con sidered is rendered^difficult by the fact that the Russians in their retreat lay the country waste, making it necessary for the invaders to bring up every ounce of food required for their army. May Attack Serbia Others of the observers think Serbia will be attacked, so as to impress the Balkan states which remain neutral, while still others look for a big offensive against the Franco-British-Belgian line in the west. All of the observers are of the opinion that wherever the new opera tion is begun it will be on a big scale. The Germans also have had local suc cesses in the west, having recaptured on the crest of the line in, the Vosges a portion of the trenches which the French took from them some time ago. RUSSIA ADMITS RETREAT ORDER Petrograd, Via London, Aug. 5.—3.45 —An official communication Just issued here says: "In view of conditions and the gen eral situation our troops west of War saw have received orders to fall back on the right bank of the Vistula.” KAISER PRESENTS ARCHDUKE FRED’K WITH HIGH HONOR Berlin, Aug. 5.—(By Wireless to Sayville, N.

M.—A statement issued by the admiralty relative to operations in the Black Sea, says: “Our sailors destroy Turkish ves sels because they carry coal and pa trol, materials of war, but take every measure to save the crews.

RUSE ALLOWING AUSTRO-GERMANS TO GROSS VISTULA Austrian Headquarters, Via London, Aug. 6, 12.40 A. M.—It was by an un usual ruse that the Germans and Aus trians succeeded in crossing the Vistu la northwest of Ivangorod. They man euvered with the object of leading the Russians to believe that they intended to force a passage near Nowo Alex andria, where they planned to cross at Domaszew, where the river is divid ed by a number of branches. The Russians, puzzled by the com plicated maneuvers of the Austro-Ger mans, sent aviators to make observa tions. They reported seeing a large number of wagons loaded with straw moving toward the front. The wagons, however, contained pontoons and other material topped with straw. The pion eers thus reached the river and began the construction of bridges before their real purpose was discovered. Then the Russians brought forward artillery and opened a terrifflc fire, but the bridge building was proceeding in four places, and the pioneers succeeded within 36 hours in connecting the islands by bridges and reaching the east bank. The Germans immediately crossed In force and captured Domaszew and the adjacent forests. DECLARES MAINE MEAT INSPECTION IS NOT EFFECTIVE Portland, Me., Aug. 5.—That the meat inspection in the State of Maine J is far from satisfactory from the point of effectiveness, ip the statement of Dr. F. W. Huntington, local head of the United States Government Bureau of Animal Industry. Dr. Huntington does not believe that the inspectors generally appointed are either competent or fully realize the responsibilities of the position. He does not believe that State meat in spection should be one wit less severe than United States government in spection. “Why,” he says, "does federal in spection outstep all other inspection? Because the inspectors of the Federal government are thoroughly educated in the art or science of inspection of meat food products, and are taught to diagnose all the diseases which our food animals are heir to, and to rec ognize at a glance the pathological conditions found on post mortem ex amination and to know whether the meat from slaughtered animals is fit for food or should be condemned.’’ “All veterinary inspectors of the Federal government.’’ he says, "have to be graduates of some college or uni versity sanctioned by the Federal government. After a man gets his dip lcma he begins to learn the business. He is sent to some large slaughtering house in the West, probably to Chi cago, St. Louis or Kansas City for further instruction in the science of sanitary meat inspection by the in spector in charge of the place.’’ “This inspector assigns him to work under the supervising inspector who instructs him in all the methods em ployed in inspection, and after he has thoroughly learned the business he is placed under the supervision of the inspector in charge of some station, for duty, from where he climbs the ladder or falls from it according to his ability.” PORTLAND MAN FOUND SUICIDE IN MOTHER'S HOME Portland, Me., Aug. 5.—The body of Percy A. Gribbin, aged 42, who disap peared before daylight, was found hanging from a pipe in the basement at the home of his mother, near his residence, late today.
