If.—Informal in quiries have been mace by some of the European governments as to the Washington administration’s next step in the Mexican situation. Ambassador Jusserand of France had a long talk with Secretary Lansing today Col ville Barclay, the British charge d'affaires, discussed the situation with the State department officials and no tified them that orders had gone forth to British consuls to consult with American consuls on the advisability of withdrawing from northern Mex ico. Carranza’* Invitation From high official quarters, it was learned tonight that no decision has been reached with respect to the rec ognition of any government in Mex ico. but that the subject will be fully considered at the Pan-American con ference in New York on Saturday. It is understood that on account of a press of international affairs. Gen. Carranza's invitation to the conferees to meet him at some point on the border may not be accepted, but the subject of discussion with his repre sentatives of the international ques tions involved in the situation is like ly to be met by an invitation to Car ranza to send delegates here instead. It is said to he the intention of the Pan-American conferees to give an audience also to representatives of other Mexican factions who already are en route to Washington so that before a final decision is reached the entire situaton with respect to recog nition may be carefully studied from all viewpoints.

Detroit Overwhelms Red Sox—Braves Now Have Meagre Chance New York, Sept. 16.—While Detroit encroached upon Bos- ton’s lead in the American League race today Philadelphia drew farther away from its rivals for pennant honors in the National organization. With the Nationals

T'ne ambitious Cincinnati Reds failed to stop the Philadelphia Na tionals with Alexander in the box today and as a result the Phillies already are figuring how they will spend their World's Series money, with a lead of five and a half games over both Brooklyn and Boston, who are tied tonight for second place. Brooklyn, after a day's layoff, was unable to hit Vaughn and lost to Chicago, while wet grounds prevent ed Boston and St. Louis from play ing off a double-header. In American League The Tigers, opening a four-game series which may dash the hopes of either aspirant, ran away with the first game. A margin of only one and a half games separates the leading Red So* and the Tigers to- night. Jennings' sluggers, however, must win three out of the four games to take the lead. If they evenly divide the four games, Bos ton will lead by two and one-half games. Thus far the Red Sox have won 11 out of 19 games played with i 1 the Tigers. The Phillies have 20 more games to play while the Braves have to play 19 and the Superbas 17. Therefore if the Phil lies should nothing more than split even, winning 10 and los ing 10, the Braves would have to win 16 and lose only three games to win the lead, while Brooklyn to get the pennant would have to win 15 out of its 17 games. -4 GREAT BRITAIN PRIZE COURT HAS FORFEITED CARGOES OF STEAMSHIPS TO THE CROWN American Products Valued at Several Million Dollars Involved in Judgment Delivered on Thursday by Sir Samuel T. Evans i Lndon, Sept. 16. 3.33 P. M—The i I British prize court today condemned the greater part of the American prod ucts forming the cargoes of four

steamships. The products, valued at several million dollars, are declared i forfeited to the crew-n. Ships Involved The judgment was delivered by Sit Samuel T. Evans, president of the court. It involves the cargoes of the Norwegian steamships Kim, Alfred Nobel. Bjornstjeme-Bjornson and Friedland. All the goods on these ves sels. consisting principally of Ameri can meat products, are confiscated with the exception of a small propor tion which the court released to claim ants. Lengthy Judgment In a lengthy judgment. Sir Samuel said it was plain these ships were car rying towards Copenhagen, when cap tured. more than 13 times the amount of goods which, under normal circum j stances, would have been taken to that port. That fact gave practical and i overwhelming assurance that the goods j were intended to find their way tc j Germany, although, of course, it did 1 (Continued on Page 12—Col. 3) i Packers Have Not Given up Chicago Meat Firms’ Attorneys Declare Confiscation “Not Justified by Any Principle of International Law” STATEMENT OF THEIR CONTENTIONS PUBLISHED

M. —Stern battles are being fought all along the eastern front from Riga to the Rumanian border and while the Germans continue to advance slowly in the north and center, the Russians in the j South are repeating their suc cesses against the Austro-Ger ,man armies, which are now be ing driven back across the river Stripa in Galicia and have been forced to retire westward, north of the Galician frontier. Important Asset While these Russian victories natur ally are welcomed in Russia and the allied countries as an evidence that the Russian armies are still able to take the offensive when well supplied with ammunition, there is no inclina tion to exaggerate their importance, i The engagements, however, keep the i Austro-Germans busy and make it imperative to send reinforcements southward, which could be used to bet ter advantage in the North, where op erations of much greater moment are

being directed by Field Marshal Von Hindenburg. The Von Hindenburg Offensive This general, who began his offensive at the Vilna-Dvinsk railway a week ago, has not yet established himself on the line. His cavalry, which did reach it, has been driven back. Nevertheless he has driven the Russians across the Dvina river north of Dvinsk, placing that city in a rather dangerous position, and has also made some progress north of Yilna. Russians Stubborn South of Vilna, toward Grodno, the Russians are offering stubborn resistance and have the Germans firmly held. Some thing of the same kind has happened in the center. Prince Leopold has been de layed in his advance. Field Marshal von Mackenzen has passed his forces through the Pripet marshes and is now in posses sion of Pinsk. From this point south ward the Russians are advancing and have reoccupied a number of villages, but they are not likely to push their advan tage much further as to do so would make their northern flank vulnerable. Russian Reserve Call A good deal of importance is attached to the decision of Russia to call to the colors the reserves of the territorial army. Should the age limit be fixed at 35 years, this fresh call would mean the possible addition of 8,000,000 men to the Russian armies, including the men who had passed through the first line and the reserves and those who heretofore nave been exempted as students, or only sons of men who are not quite up to the physical standard. Naturally, all of these could not he armed and equipped, but Russia could have the pick of them. Supplies for Russia With Russia now well supplied with munitions, her allies, who have been supplying her. are now able to turn their attention to their own armies and in con sequence there is no 'essation in the ar tillery engagements which have been so marked in the west for several weeks past. In the Dardanelles the British losses have totalled 87.630 up to August 21. The British submarine E-7, operating in those waters, which the Turks claim to have sunk, is admitted by the British admiral ty to have been missing since Sept. 4.

TWO CLERGYMEN ORDAINED AT BANGOR The Hammond Street Congregational church at Bangor was the scene of an impressive religious event Tuesday eve ning. when Miss Carrie L. Rideout, who has been In charge of the church at Bur lington, and R. Bertram Nelles, State In dustrial secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, were ordained as Congregational ministers. Exercises were conducted by the pastor of the church, Rev. Christopher W. Col lier, assisted by the officers of the Pe nobscot Association of Congregational j churches and ministers, and were at tended by a large congregation. Miss Rideout, who is a native of Gar land, has lived in Bangor for several years, having been a valued employe of the J. F. Gerrity Co. and a faithful worker in the llammond street church, where she founded the Rideout Bible class for women, now an important fac tor in the work of the church. She has many friends in Bangor who will wish her continued success in the ministry. Mr. Nelles, a native of Scotland, was educated in the universities of his coun try and for a long time was associated with the Y. M. C. A. in Toronto and other parts of Canada. He came to Maine about three years ago as indus trial secretary of the Greenville Y. M. C. A. and later had entire charge of the in dustrial work in the State of Maine. It was his desire to enter the ministry be cause of the fact that in his travels through the Isolated woods settlements, there are many occasions, such as fatai illness of n woodsman, baptism of a child., and so on, that require the attend ance of an ordained clergyman.

I’welve of these reports have now been issued, covering a wide range of ter ritory. The Society begins by sending out investigators, who are usually women ivho have been trained in social work. In accordance with their reports the ather workers follow. Nurses visit patients in their own homes, builders erect huts for the homeless peasants, and there is a growing department of agricultural relief. There are four main divisions of activity, with about J 125 volunteers from England and a number from other countries. ‘'Imagine," writes one of the work ers, “a village in your own vicinity, it may be your home—with some 700 houses of which 650 have been burned to the ground, and then you will be able to form some idea of what this village from which I am writing is like. The inhabitants left in astound- j ing bewilderment, hardly able to be lieve that the German army was so close, and so in the hurry and scram ble to get away they left everything behind them, innocently expecting to find their belongings again when they returned. And so, when they returned, a few days after the German retreat, conceive their sorrow and chagrin on finding their houses raxed to the ground and all trace of their posses sions gone. All their hay and crops, cattle, rabbits, everything, burnt or destroyed. I admire their courage as I see them grubbing in the ruins, searching for some lost thing, or lie ginning—where would you begin?—to clear away the debris.” The secretary of the Relief Commit tee, Miss Ruth Fry, writes: "It is not only the material help given. The most important aspect is the courage raised anew in these much-tried suf ferers, to whom the coming of the helpers is a very impressive sign of the reality of our friendship. The! supreme evil of war is not death, but despair. Against such despair the Quaker fights." At first the medical side of the work predominated. At Chalons, for in stance, a Maternity Hospital was or ganized. The following is from the report of the work of this hospital: Although we were foreigners and; strangers to Madame L.——, she came j away with us. It was her first baby. Her husband, a compositor in Rheims before he was called to the colors, had been seriously wounded four months before, and since then she had had no news at all. She spoke of him during tiie long ride back to the hos pital. and she told us of the horrors of the bombardment and her six weeks' sojourn in the cellars. She poke of the Germans in Rheims and j said they were very polite and nice to her and to her friends. One she had met had been very sad and had w*Pl over having to fight and leave his wife and children. She showed him her husband’s picture and he. wished her good fortune and his safe return, i Her courage was splendid. Just be fore a little daughter was born to her the news came that her husband was dead. Her courage never failed. 'For; my dear girl I want to be strong,' she said." In the later reports It is chiefly ag riculture that figures. "Most of the farm machines had been destroyed by fire—that is to say, they survive, but' the iron is so soft that it bends at the1 touch. To replace them about 80 mowing machines were distributed among tlvp villages on the co-operative1 system—an innovation among the French peasantry, and one which met j with opposition in some districts. Lat- I er reapers and binders were similarly! provided for the harvest, which had been sowed by French women who went into the fields immediately after the Herman retreat. Five More Victoria Crosses “Most Conspicuous Bravery

(Associated Press Correspondence) London, Sept. 2.—The award of five additional Victoria Crosses is an nounced in the London Gazette. Four of them were won hy "most conspicu ous bravery" in connection with bomb throwing exploits which now constitute such an important feature of trench warfare. It was during operations southwest of Krithia on the Gallipoli Peninsula, that Captain (Jerald Rob ert O’Sullivan. First Hattalion, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, won the highest award for valor. This is what he did, as narrated in the official report: "On the night .of the lst-2ncl of July, 1915, when it wts essential that a por tion of a trench which had been lost should he regained, Captain O'Sullivan, although not belonging to the troops at this point, volunteered to lead a party of bomb throwers to effect the recapt ure. "He advanced in the open under a very heavy fire, and. in order to throw his bombs with greater effect, got up on the parapet where he was complete ly exposed to the fire of t lie enemy occupying the trench. He was finally wounded, hut not before his inspiring example had led on his party to make further efforts, which resulted in the recapture of the trench. "On the night of lMh-19th June, 1913, Captain O’Sullivan saved a critical sit uation in the same locality by his great personal gallantry and good leading.” On the day following this announce ment came another, more sinister, in the otfieial casualty list, giving Captain O'Sullivan in the list of "missing.” Sergeant James Sommers of the same hatfalion won the Victoria Cross at the same time. When, owing to hostile bombing, some of our troops had retired from a sap," says the re port in the London Gazette, "Sergeant Sommers remained alone on the spot until a party brought up bombs. He then climbed over into the Turkish trench and bombed the Turks with good effect. ‘Later on he advanced into the open under very heavy fire and held hack the enemy by throwing bombs into their flank until a barricade had been established. During this period he fre quently ran to and from our trenches to obtain fresh supplies of bombs." What Second Lieutenant Herbert James of the Worcestershire Regi ment, did to win the cross in the. Gal lipoli operations, is thus described: “On the 2Sth of June, 1913, when a portion of a regiment had been checked owing to all the officers being put out of ac tion, Second Lieutenant James, who belonged to a neighboring unit, entire ly on his own initiative, gathered to For Liquor, Opium, Morphins and other Drug Using.

His i gallant example put fresh life into the attack. "On the 3rd July, on the same local ity, lie headed a party of bomb throw ers up a Turkish communication trench, ar.d. after nearly all his bomb throwers had been killed or wounded, he remained alone at the head of the trench and kept hack the enemy single handed till a barrier had been built behind him and the trench secured. He was throughout exposed to a mur derous lire. It was between Cambrin and Le Basse, in France, on August 3rd, of this year, that Second Lieutenant I George a. R. Rochefort of the Scots Guards, displayed "most conspicuous j gallantry" and won the V. C. i "At 3 A. M. a German trench mortar bomb landed on the side of the parapet of the communicating trench in which he stood close to a small working par ty of his battalion. He might easily have stepped hack a few yards round the border into perfect safety, but, shouting to his men to look out, he rushed at the bomb, seized it, and hurled it over the parapet, where it at once exploded. "There is no doubt," adds the offi cial report, "that this splendid combi nation of presence of mind and cour tage saved the lives of many of the working party.” I The wish is expressed in the London papers that some enterprising film pro ducer turn out a series of moving pic tures (fepieUng various exploits by i which the V.

Some time ago the county commis t sioners located the proposed Little River bridge which it was planned to build this fall, to replace the old and inadequate one between the city of Belfast and town of Northport on Northport avenue at Little river, so called. The location as laid out by the commissioners is slightly different from the present location and will do away with the hill and curve which is now considered very dangerous and inconvenient, thus making Northport avenue practically straight from Bel fast into Northport. A petition signed by Mayor Charles R. Coombs and others has been presented to the com missioners, asking that the bridge be placed upon the old location. A hear ing has been called for Monday morn ing at 10 A. M. on the property in question and it is expected that there will be a large attendance.

JENCKS AT WATERVILLE TO ORGANIZE A SRANCH OF DEFENSE LEAGUE Waterville, Me., Sept. 16.—(Special). —Hon. Francis M. Jencks of Balti more, a well-known lawyer of that city, anti a trustee of Johns Hopkins University, was in the city Thursday and addressed a meeting of some of the prominent citizens of the city on the question of national preparedness. The meeting was for the purpose of organizing a branch of the Maine League for National Defense and af 'ter Mr. Jencks’ address and a few remarks from some of those present, a committee was elected consisting of Hon. Martin F. Bartlett, Dr. John G. Towne and President A. J. P.oberts, to present plans for a permanent or ganization. Harvey Cohn was elected secretary of the committee and the future plans were left in their hands. Mr. Jencks had been instrumental in starting an organization in Balti more and then coming to New Hamp i shire for the summer he had given 1 I the matter still more study and there t had determined to organize leagues in the New England states with the 1 idea of getting them to all unite at some future time into one great league. Mr. Jencks appealed to the men j present to go forth and develop a feeling that would reach out to Con gress so that at the next session steps would be taken that would soon place this nation in a position to defend itself from the encroachments of oth er nations. Mr. Jencks appealed to the men present to go forth and develop a feeling that would reach out to Con gress so that at the next session steps would be taken that would soon place this nation in a position to defend it self from the encroachments of other nations. i Dr. J. G. Towne J. G. Towne assumed charge of the j meeting as the chairman and called upon President Roberts for an address 1 on the question. Mr. Roberts express- i ed himself as being in hearty accord with the speaker and declared that he wanted to see this county put !n a position where it would not be at the mercy of any country hungry for con- quest. Rev. Frank L. Phalen He was followed by Rev. Frank L. Phalen, who spoke along the same lines, declaring that he spoke in part from personal experience as he was in the Spanish war himself and it was evident then that if the I’nited States had been pitted against any first class power the result must have iiren dis astrous to us. Mayor Bartlett Mayor Martin F. Bartlett was the next speaker and his remarks were along the same lines, he expressing himself as much interested in the question of national defense and hop ing to see a greater interest taken in the matter by the business and pro fessional men of the country in order that public opinion might be moulded to stir Congress into action. The question of appointing a com mittee resulted in a discussion of the matter by several of those present and then it was voted to appoint Hie committee consisting of the mayor. President Roberts and Dr. Tonne with Harvey Cohn as the secretary and the meeting adjourned to their call. Those present were: Mayor Mar tin F. Bartlett, Dr. George A. Aver ill. Charles H. Allen.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM A BAD 'UN _ A local young man had a narrow [escape from, a fatal accident early Thursday morning, when he attempt ed to make the turn from Spring street into Elm street at high speed. His machine made a wide circle and when it struck the walk nearly in front of the Catholic church one wheel collapsed and it continued across the street, bringing up against the steps 1 of the house occupied by Frank B. Hubbard, the other front wheel being crushed there. The occupants of the car were not injured and they prompt ly got out of sight, hut the car re mained where it was until late In the morning when it was fixed up and towed to a local garage for repairs. The front end of the machine is pret 1 tv badly smashed and it suffered a general shaking up. Headquarters Man Sturtevant was off duty Thursday on account of sick ness. Donald Foster left Thursday for Orono, where he will resume his stud ies at L\ of M. Miss Nellie Clark of the Central Maine Power Co. office has gone to Boston for a vacation of two weeks. John Sturtevant of Boston is visit ing for a few days with his mother. Mrs. Hannah Sturtevant. I Windsor fair was the mecea for the j Fair lovers Thursday and a number of automobiles left here early in the morning for the grounds. All went looking forward to a first-class time. Among the new arrivals at the col lege Thursday was John Stinson, the Coburn football player of last year. He will undoubtedly be a strong can didate for one of the line positions on the team. The express car of the Atlantic Ex press Co. left the iron at the turn onto Front street Thursday afternoon and it was nearly two hours before it was restored to the rails in spite of the valuable advice of a large and I much Interested sidewalk committee. A crew from the WaterviUe Fairfield Electric road is engaged in filling up the holes and bad places in the roadway between the rails of the road on College avenue. The most of the way the street was in fair con dition between the rails but a few bad holes had commenced to appear and the road Is now putting that part of the highway in good shape. Football practice is starting among the boys of the Grammar schools of the city and some good little teams will doubtless be developed among these embryo stars of the gridiron. The games played by these teams are always Interesting and frequently call out fair-sised crowds. WaterviUe seems to bo the bringing up place of the fakirs which have been working the Maine fairs this year. Every day they are seen on the street, and Thursday a bunch of them landed in the city, evidently coming from tne Unity fair. It is the genera! opinion of the people of the city that their room is much preferable to their company and if they do not walk the straight and narrow while they remain within the gates of WaterviUe, they will be invited to take a nice railroad trip and take it in a hurry. Miss Mary McMahon went to Brunswick Thursday for a two-weeks visit with friends. Patrolman Frost was on duty on Main street Thursday afternoon in the Place of Deputy Marshal Scribner, j who was off on account of illness in his family. I T In spite of the heat of Thursday, fairly large audiences greeted the Ar thur Chatterdon Co. at the City Opera house Thursday afternoon and eve ning. The play of th° afternoon was "The Gamblers” and of the evening. "Pierre of the Plains." Both are strong I plays and are handled by the company in suberb style. For Friday there will I he a Tango tea on the stage after the afternoon performance and in the eve ning play, the famous Pacific Cabaret will be introduced, exactly as it is danced in New York. Runaway Boy Goes Home A small boy who had run away from his home in Cambridge, Mass.. was picked up by the police Wednes day afternoon and his parents com municated with. The boy was anx ious to return home and his parents wanted him enough to send money for expenses and transportation and j he was returned Thursday, a sadder and wiser boy. DOG RUN OVER AND KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE ON TEMPLE ST. CORNER An automobile accident occurred at the corner of Main and Temple streets Thursday afternoon which resulted in tthe death of a small dog. breed and owner unknown. The dog- ran out to 'bark at one car and failed to see an other coming along almost beside it and before he could get out of the i way or the driver of theothor car I stop, the wheels had passed over it. He dragged himself whimpering to- j wards the sidewalk, where he was picked up by Patrolman Frost and j put out of his misery. The dog was not wearing a collar and as no own er appeared he was laid in an un named grave. MRS. CORA E. TRASK TO FILL NEW POSITION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mrs. Cora E. Trask of 263 Main street has been elected as school nurse, for the public schools of the city. This is a new position, but few of the cities of the State having one and it is being tried out for the first time in Waterville. It will be the duty of Mrs. Trask to help parents when j their children are sick and to in every way possible see that the in structions of the school physician are carried out. Mrs. Trask is a thorough ly competent nurse and no doubt her election to this important position will be the means of adding materially to the general health of the students in the public schools.

Other articles are to see if the corporation will vote to pay the hydrant rental which became due: to see if the corporation will vote to buy the property of the Madison Water Co. provided a price satisfactory to the voters of the corporation can he made: also to see if the corporation will vote to appoint a committee to confer with the Madison Water Co. and report for what sum the property can be purchased. The three last articles have been voted down by a large majority at two previous spe cial meetings of the corporation. The special meeting was called at the request of some of the heavy taxpayers of the corporation who desire that the hydrant rental at least be paid. Madison citizens are anxious for a pure water supply and there is a growing sentiment for the es tablishment of a municipal plant for do mestic supply. Engineers have been In town the past few days looking over the ground for the water company with a view to putting in a filter. At a meeting of the corporation in the spring the vot ers after spending an evening in discus sion of various methods of filteration voted almost unanimously that they were strongly opposed to filtered water as It could not be pure. The fine weather brought out a large crowd at the second day of the annual cattle show and fair of the Somerset Ag ricultural Society. The forenoon was spent in judging horses and the features of the afternoon were the races of the 2 22. 2.2f' and free-for-all classes, and a baseball game between the Madison and Anson teams. Both woolen mills and all places of business were closed fop the afternoon. There was a fine display of vegetables and fancy work In the socie ty’s hall on the grounds. The baseball game was an easy victory for the Madi son team, the score being 13 to 2. The battery for Madison was Cavanaugh, T.a Fleur and Bearor. The battery for An son was Gray and Conroy. F. H. Pease left town Thursday morn ing for Boston, where he will enter a hospital for treatment. Mr. Pease was accompanied by Dr. Thlboreau. Xight work In the Eastport sardine fac tories has been the rule for a short time past as the quantities of herring have been arriving late In the day and must be taken care of as the fish are perish able. There will be another very large payroll about the city during the latter part of the week for the full time had the previous week In all the plants, and the herring supply at present is more satisfactory than for some weeks past. The annual meetings and elections of officers of several of the local mill cor porations. were held Wednesday in Lewiston. Only one change was made In the officers and that was in the board of directors of the Continental Mill, Wil liam Ropes Trask of Boston being elect ed to succeed Philip Dexter of Boston. Mr. Dexter declined re-election on the grounds that to serve would be contra ry to the recently enacted Clayton Act..

An Easy Way to End Catarrh Forever Simple Home Treatment Destroys Germs of This Dangerous Disease. The reason why so many people who suffer from Catarrh never seem able to f Ket cured is that they are continually seeking the momentary relief of sprays, douching. greasy creams, ointments, etc. Such thinRS do open up the swollen nos trils and clear the head temporarily be side stopping for a while the disgusting blowing, hawking, spitting and choking but they never cure. To drive out Ca tarrh for good you have got to get down to its real cause. Catarrh is a germ dis ease. The air is always full of catarrh germs thrown off by one person and ab sorbed by another and when the system does fail to throw off such germs they find permanent lodgement in the nose, throat and head and multiply rapidly. The germs of catarrh can best be de stroyed by inhaling the pure medicated air of Hyomei (pronounced Hlgh-o-me). This splendid and powerful combination of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing agents has a wonderful germicidal ac tion. You breathe its air into your nose, throat and lungs by means of a small hard rubber inhaler, which Bowditch Webster Co. and other leading druggists in this vicinity supply with every com plete treatment. This medicated air is certain death to the germs of Catarrh and drives them completely out of your system and when the germs are de stroyed the catarrh with all its disagree able symptoms will stop. Even two or three minutes use will give refreshing re lief while if you will use it two or three timaa a day for a few weeks it will com pletelv banish catarrh and every symp tom of catarrh. As Hyomei is pleasant to breathe and is always sold by drug gists everywhere with a positive guaran tee of successful results or money back, surely no Catarrhal sufferer should go j long before trying this simple home j remedy—Adv. septlT-21-Cl MRS. LYON'S ACRES AND PAINS Have All Gone Since Taking Lydia E. Pinkham’g Veg etable Compound. Terre Hill, Fa. “Kindly permit me to give you my testimonial in favor of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. When I first began taking it I was suffering from female troubles for some time and had almost all kinds of aches—pains in low er part of back and in sides, and press ing down pains. 1 could not sleep and had no appetite. Since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound the aches and pains are all gone and I feel like a new woman. I cannot praise your medicine too highly. ”—Mrs. Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa. It is true that nature and a woman’s work has produced the grandest remedy for woman’s ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field. Lydia E. Pir.kham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ids which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded. and today Lydia Id. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound i> recognized from coast to coast ns the stancari remedy for woman's ills. In the Pinkham Lalwratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing hundreds oi thousands of letters from women set*/, ing health many of them openly sta'f over them own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lyriia E.

It seems that the little fellow, who is about three years old. ran out some distance from the house, and sat down in the grain where ms uncle was reaping. The grain being very stout completely hid him from the view of the man driving the reaper, and it was only when he heard the little fellow cry out with pain that l'.e knew he was anywhere in the vicinity. The swift running scythe of the reaper cut completely through the. hone a little below the knee. Dr. Charles F. Thomas, .Ir the attending physician, thinks he can save tile cimu s leg, but very likely it will always be somewhat stiff. The following from the North Penob :»<:ot letter in the Ellsworth American well illustrates the conditions in many other sections: After the longest hay ing season for 30 years, the uplands are about cleared up of the rirst crop* and work has commenced on the second crop, which bids fair to he unusual. Parts Leach will harvest four tons from two crops on one acre. The annual convention of the Knox County Sunday School Association Wednesday at Rockland, was the largest in the history of that organization, near ly 200 delegates being present.

The seventh vote of credit since the outbreak of the war, bringing up the total to $6,310,000,000, was moved in the British House of Comons Wednesday afternoon by Premier Asquith. The amount asked for today was $1,250,000, 000. The growing expenditures for the war were emphasized by the premier. He said the average daily cost from April 1 to the end of June was $13,500, 000; from July 1 to 17, $15,000,000; from July IS to Sept. 11, $17,500,000. Thus the total for this period in round fig ures is $250,000,000 .There has been re paid $250,000,000 to the Rank of Eng land; $150,000,000 has been lent to foreign Governments, and $14,000,000 lent to the Dominions. That, in few words, tells of Britain's outlay. Mr. Asquith added that the weekly gross expenditure henceforth would not exceed $175,000,000— $25,000,000 a day. The world has never attempted to grasp the meaning of such stupendous sums; it has had no need of it. Can we realize its full magnitude now? The American people have boasted of their great accomplishment in build ing the Panama canal at an expendi ture of $350,000,000. Vet Great Britain will henceforth devote that sum to war murder and destruction of property, every two weeks. We devoted 350 millions to a splendid world asset, and were years in its production. England has expended 6310 millions in 13 months—for what? What magnificent works for the good of humanity she might have produced With that vast sum! And she is only one of the nations that are freely, un questioningly. pouring out their blood and treasure for d' struction. Oh, the madness and folly of war! A Democratic Worry. Democratic politicians are becoming decidedly panicky because of the sen timent favoring Elihu Hoot as the Re publican candidate for President. They are causing the party organs, little and big. to ‘'regret" the ten dency. They admit the superior in tellect and honorable career of Mr. Root, but they find he is “too old" to suit the Democrats. That is certainly too bad, because even Democrats should be expected to have as much respect for a President 72 years old as for one 42, if his faculties were as sound and keen; even more, for Sena tor Root has. in his long and active career, personally witnessed the de velopment. handling and outcome 'of many national and international in cidents which might arise to puzzle a younger President. But Senator Root and Juctice Hughes are not the only able, honor able and experienced men who are likely to be called to the service of the country by the Republican party. Abundance of material may lie enu merated, scattered from one end of the country to the other—men skilled and experienced in the nation's affairs, men versed in international law and gifted in diplomacy, men not too old. but old enough to bring to the uses of the people well ripened efficiency. New England has one of these, and not even the most reckless Demo cratic organ can honestly criticize his age, honor or greatness. A War Menace from Europe. While the epidemic of typhus fever in Europe seems to be on the decrease because the little insect which trans mits it paradoxically goes into winter quarters in summer, the United States Public Health Service has issued a warning to all quarantine officers to keep a sharp lookout for the disease among passengers arriving from Greek and Italian ports. The over-crowd ing, lack of bathing facilities, and gen eral insanitary conditions brought about by the state of war in Europe have made the fiscal year 1914-15 a typhus year. The extensive outbreak which occurred in Austria-Hungary and Servia is probably responsible for the introduction of the disease into Germany, but as immigration from these countries is at the present time practically nil the government's sani tary corps considers passengers from Greece and Italy of greater potential health menace. The disease has also been reported in Spain; at Zurich and St. Gall in Switzerland; and Moscow, Odessa, Petrograd and Warsaw in Russia. The closed season on straw hats hav ing arrived, we are halting between two opinions: Whether to cover our massive dome with a Margaret Foley bunnit, or to plug through the autumn season under the sole cranial protection of the thatch that nature gave us. (X. B.—This last is put in just to rile Rody McPhee of the Springfield Union and Judd Lewis of the Houston Post.)—Manchester Union. Whadja mean, “sole cranial,” Col onel—that the shining cranial skin Is thicker’n the sole of Judd Lewis' boot? Where one voice Is raised in favor of prohibition as it works out in the south ern states 100 are heard against it.—Bid deford Record. Sure! Your contention is proven As usual, by the vote of South Caro- Jina, I Liquor Loague Booming Antia. 1 Massachusetts suffragists have fur nished proof that if the Anti-Suf frage Association is not combining with the liquor interests, that at least the state liquor league is making much of the anti campaign to defeat the suffragists whom the boose trust fears and hates. In a statement to the newspapers, the Suffrage Associa tion says: "In their lengthy statement of yes terday, the anti-suffrage association refuses to meet the liquor question fairly and squarely. The statement may be of value as an expurgated edition of ‘Who's Who' in the anti ranks, but it doesn’t go far enough. We fail to see the names of Robert Turner, George K. Conroy or Jeremiah Desmond in their lists, although these three men are more active than the entire array of nomenclature that the press statement contained. “The Massachusetts Woman Suf frage Association has shown that the Massachusetts Liquor League is working officially in the interests of the anti-suffrage cause. The follow ing letters are self explanatory: MASSACHUSETTS LIQUOR LEAGUE, 27 Haymarket square. Rooms 41. 42, 43. ‘Boston, Mass., July 17, 1915. ‘To whom it may concern: ‘This note will serve to introduce Representative Dennis F. Reardon of the 19th Suffolk district, who has been a good friend of our cause in the Legislature with voice and vote. He will personally explain his mission. ‘Anything you can do to maks our cause a success will be appreciated by ‘Yours very truly, (Signed) “‘EDWARD H. i’INKHA.M.' "‘President PATRICK H. TRAVERSE.

'Dear Slr^For the purpose of pro curing funds to assist us in sending speakers to every city and town in the Commonwealth to advance the anti suffrage cause, a grand picnic and outing will be held at Caledonian Grove, West Roxbury, Wednesday, Aug. 25, 1915. 'The project has the indorsement of the Massachusetts Liquor League, and a copy of their indorsement signed by Ed ward H. Pinkham, secretary, is herewith inclosed. Inclosed also are 10 tickets for the picnic, which you are asked to pur chase. As this is a matter in which we are all vitally interested, it is hoped you will make immediate remittance for the tickets. Make checks payable to D. F. Reardon, treasurer of Massachusetts ^Vo ters' Anti-Suffrage League. Thanking you in advance for the an ticipated assistance, we remain, Very truly vours, ‘M. V. A. S. L., ‘By D. F. Reardon. Treasurer. "As to any ‘secret alliance’ between the antis and liquor, there is no ‘se cret’ about it. The liquor league is openly and officially working to defeat suffrage. They are using anti litera ture for the purpose. At the anti-suf frage picnic held in Caledonian Grove Sept. 1, which was financed by the liquor league, quantities of anti-suf frage literature was circulated, signed by the officers whose names appeared in the list published yesterday. "The Massachusetts Woman Suf frage Association never has had any dealings, directly or indirectly, with the liquor interests. The liquor inter ests have always been our enemies and always will be. They have al ways been friendly to the anti cause, and always will be friendly. They are afraid of woman suffrage. even j though we have only one plank in our platform, 'Votes for Women.’ "The Anti-Suffrage Association are a negligible political quantity. But the Liquor League is n practical or ganization. They work hard. They work fast. They work with money and powerful influence. They are working for the anti-suffragists and against the women of Massachusetts. "Do the anti-suffragists wish to de feat woman suffrage in Massachusetts with the active help of their best friend, the Massachusetts Liquor League? That is one of the questions involved in this campaign that deeply concerns the voters." Aunt Polly used to say: “One may as well eat the devil as drink his broth.’’ The German war office has Issued a memorial against the employment of colored troops by the allies, on the ground that they have brought the savage practices of the warfare of their native countries. We wonder if they have brought from Africa or In dian any practices that are worse than murdering innocent children, outraging women and even young girls, and cutting off the hands of boys. It is time for German-Americans to understand that their encouragement of plots against the country’s indus tries has gone far enough. Threat* against the British. French and Rus sian loan commissioners is going too far. Germany is at last recognising and i admitting that America is demanding her rights of Great Bfttain as well as i of the German government.

If the Hesperian was sunk by a mine with which the British had sown the sea, then she is reaping as she has sown. The World War a Year Ago Today—Sept. 17. The Germans began to advance their right flank north and west toward the seacoast. General Joffre massed forces on the allied left. British drove the Germans from trenches beyond the Alsne. Ger man howitzers bad sweep of val ley. Austrian army, retreating from Krasnik. Poland, formed junction on San river with army from Lemberg. Servians driven out of Semlin. Austrians Invaded Servia. Washington reported to be the center of inquiries looking to peace negotiations. We sometimes wonder If Germany ever wonders why she seems destined to have trouble with every other na tion on earth. Coal companies are beginning to advertise, through ‘'publicity bu reaus,” the annual fall "shortage'’ of coal. If you are looking for “easy readin’" try the war dispatches now being sent out from Petrograd. It's a slow day in this country that doesn’t number at least a score of automobile carelessness dead. John D. Rockefeller has just given almost ten minutes' income toward a home for drug users. Is Britain trapping Zeppelins as j well as submarines? Maine Gossip The Cherished. How odd a way has Time! The moments that we deemed The greatest long ago Are now no more esteemed. But, ah. the memories. The fragile dreams that cling As on old ruins bloom Shy flowers of the spring.— They linger with us still In fresh, familiar guise, Reminders of old years. Of other lands and skies. A whisper in the dusk, A kindly word, a smile— They greet us from the past And all our moods beguile. We gave them not a thought In that dim long ago. Xow with a halo bright Of love they gleam and glow. -Arthur Wallace Peach, in Springfield Republican. The people of Islesboro fear that they have a firebug in their midst or one pay- j ing the island regular visits and every 1 effort is being made to discover his iden tity.

Two fires took place on the fol lowing night, the ice house of Capt. Gil bert Had lock, near the I’rof. Sawtclle cottage, being destroyed and Capt.

Those delicious cakes and jellies and all that lined the exhibition hall received proper judgment as did the fancy work, quilts and beautiful cut flowers. On the track there were several classes of horses to be passed upon. Some fine looking horse flesh was exhibited, and when it came to judgment on draft stallions both en tries were /o decidedly above the ordi nary that a special committee was called which decided, inasmuch as the two were of different breeds, and so evidently belonged to separate class es that each should be awarded a blue ribbon.

Trading was a trifle broader, however, in that it embraced a greater number of issues than have recently been quoted. Forenoon dealings showed nu merous losses ranging from one to two points with more pronounced relations in the war shares. This condition was partially readjusted later In the ses sion, when prices hardened. Early unsettled was caused by the selling of I'nlted States which re sumed its leadership of the list. Steel closed at 74H, a net loss of Beth lehem Steel moved In a range of li points and closed at 34. a net loss of five. The preferred stock, selling ex dividend of l** per cent., made a maximum advance of 12V Cruciable steel was under pressure, closing at 92S. a loss of IS*. General Motors was strong, rising 6 to'266, and TYest inghouse, Allis- Chalmers and Ameri can Locomotive constituted the other active features of that group. Colorado Fuel and Iron, which had shown steady strength during the early days of the week became very active in the final hour when it dom inated the entire list. With little in terruption it advanced 71* to f.4, clos ing at 52**. The demand for Colorado j Fuel was based on a variety of ru i mors, but it is known that the com pany is engaged at full capacity on profitable war contracts. Railway shares continued to lag far behind the specialties and industrials. There ap peared to be little or no inquiry for these issues from speculative sources 1 while investment demand remains light, despite the favorable crop pros pects. Minneapolis and St. Louis issues, which broke precipitately yesterday on news of the illness of the company's chief executive, retrived their losses in part. Rock Island was heavy in the absence of definite developments con cerning impending interest payments. Total sales amounted to 466,000 shares. AH parts of the foreign exchange i market were stronger today. Bonds were irregular. Total sales. I (par value), aggregated to 92.47.5.000, I'nited States bonds were unchanged on call.

The department says: General crop prospects on Sept, l in the t'nited States were favorable, being somewhat above average. The corn crop improved slightly during August, especially in Nebraska, Kan i sas and Missouri. It went back in condition in the Northernmost states and in the important states of Illi nois and Iowa The forecast of total production of 2.895,006,000 bushels, is 67.000. 000 more than forecast a month ago and 312.000,000 bushels more than the fiaa! estimate of last year. The Quantity forecast at present has been exceeded in hut one year, namely 1912, when the estimate was 3.125,000, ooo bushels. The spring wheat prospects improved materially during August, the forecast of Sept. 1 being 322.000,000 bushels, which is 15.000. 000 more than the August 1 fore cast and 110.000,000 bushets more than the final estimate of last year.

Pros pects are most favorable in the most northern Etates of Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota, where renditions are above normal. A year ago the crop was estimated at 1,141.000.000 bushels.

Aug. 26.—The principal top ic of conversation in wool circles is the Government notification that wool at the docks will be removed to Manches ter or other port for storage unless traders tak° it away themselves. This is. of course, pretty hard on the trade generally when the congestion difficul ty has been largely brought about by the government commandeering rolling stock and transport vehicles, but. in the long run it will be beneficial to the trade to have the docks cleared for future arrivals. It is claimed in many quarters that the authorities cannot deliver wool to railway companies at the present time owing to shortage of labor, ard that the railway government order is in terestingly awaited. The suggestion made in some quarters that'larger ex ports should be allowed is deprecated by some as likely to immediately raise values of wool all round. Only a very small quantity of meri no wool has changed hands since th® Close of last auctions at fractionally easier prices in sympathy with the fall in "tops" but selling brokers are un derstood to lie refusing sales under last auction party and a further fall is not considered likely. There is practically nothing doing j in crossbreds. American inquiries j continue to tome along for merinos but permits are being handed out only very slowly and the quantity going out to the United States is very small. Imports of "tops" from that quarter are practically nil. Bradford and Huddersfield machin ery is still working on ordinary cloth and old contracts for the Allies, and there is no movement on the part of the authorities with regard to fresh orders for the winter. These however, would probably not be put out till next month, as there is known to he a large stock of cloth on band. When the lat ter comes to be worked up however there will naturally have to be a quan tity of reserve cloth made up. and the trade is not unduly pessimistic about the future course of prices.

Duets rendess^ by Mr. Edwards and Mr. Goodwin -^^apa equally enjoyable. Another feature of much interest and credit were the readings of Miss Thera®. Gormley. Norman Pierce's orchestra, at six rieces furnished selections of -znuob merit that were greatly enjoyed. A large crowd present was .r.e reward of the efforts of those to whom the-man agement of the lawn party had been cota milted.

WIGHT, Registered Optician Today Marks the Fiftieth Anniversary Of the Great Fire of Sept. 17,1865 With $500,000 Loss; Only Half Insured LQUR& CORN WATER STREET, AUGUSTA, AFTER FIRE OF SEPT. 17, ’65 -Repro dueed from North's History of Augusta. The greatest disaster in the history of Augusta was the great fire of Sun day, September 17. 1S65. which swept clean both sides of Water street, from Winthrop to Bridge, consuming over SO buildings and causing a loss of over half a million of dollars. The confla gration may have been a blessing in disguise, for over the smoking ruins began to grow the substantial and at tractive lines of buildings that make the Water street of today the most beautiful business street of any city of equal size in New England; but at that time the disguise of the blessing was very effectual, and the deepest gloom and sorrow hung over the deso lated city. The fire originated in a new and un occupied two-story wooden building owned by Dr. H. H. Hill, on the east side of Water street just above the foot of Oak street. The adjoining building on the south, also just erected during the summer of 1S65, was occu pied as a store and dwelling by Wade Chase, and at about 5 o'clock on the morning of Sunday, September 17, Mr. i Chase was aroused by smoke and the I light of fire from the rear of the Kill building. The alarm was at once given and the sleeping city awakened. It has been mentioned by several that they have understood the nebec Journal plant was destroyed in this fire, but such is not the case, be cause the Journal proprietors in 1S62 had moved the business from the North block on Water street to its present location on Water street, op posite Court street. This fact is bourne out by the knowledge that the postoffice, immediately after the fire was established on the first floor of the Kennebec Journal office, opposite Court street. The “Journal building’’ shown on the map of the fire district published in North’s History of Augusta was a building erected about 1S27 on Win throp street, where the Journal was published until October, 1833, when it was moved to the Citizens Bank building, comer of Oak and Water streets, and in 1S57 to the North block. A row of wooden buildings extended up and down the street from the burn ing building, and in this the fire rap idly spread. The new steam fire en gine. Cushnoc, just purchased by the city and never used at a fire, was placed upon Vose wharf, just in the rear of the Hill building, and the as sembled crowd felt confident that with its powerful aid the fire would be eas ily subdued. But everything was dry from a severe drouth that had prevail ed for many weeks, and a strong wind blowing from the southeast was most favorable for spreading the conflagra tion. There was a hollow space beneath the wooden sidewalk before the build ings on the east side of the street, and running along under this the flames set fire almost simultaneously to the entire row. Many who were removing goods from stores were surprised by sheets of flame bursting up through the walk, over which with no little danger they made hurried escapes. The hose that were laid to guard the west side of the street were old and weak and soon burst, while the flames at once crossed the street and spread up and down that side. The flames increased, rolling on and roaring in triumphant progress from building to building, until the terrible fear took possession of the crowd that the whole city was doomed to destruc tion. On the east side of the street the tierce flames quickly swept through the wooden buildings to Market square, hut advanced more slowly up the other way through the brick blocks. The wooden buildings on the west side of the street from Oak street to Market square and the continuous blocks of brick building^ from Oak to Bridge were in full blaze. Moreover the fire was advancing up Wi-nthrop and Oak streets, burning the new depot and threatening the whole city upon the hill. On W'inthnip street th° fire stopped of its own accord after p iss ing Dickman place, and on Oak street I it was stopped by covering the roof land side of a house with carpets kept wet by passing pails of water. I The interest now centered upon the covered Kennebec bridge and the buildings at its w> .■•fern end. I-Iere th" Cushnoc engine, which for a time had been rendered useless by the intense heat, was supplying a line of hose which played upon the devouring flames. The Parade engine had ceased to be effective from p.-or hose, and the hose of the hand engine had burst un der the strain of water at a great ele vation. The Tiger engine had arrived from Hallowell. and side bv side with the Cushnoc was making a gallant fight. The fight was desperate to save the bridge and the buildings north of Bridge street. finally it wo done .after heroic work by the firemen and citizens, and at a lit tic* before noon of this memorable Sunday the flames were under control, and for a moment the city forg'd its great loss in joy for the safety of that which remained. A large share of the credit of step ping the fire where it was held be longs to some of the brave women of the city. who. when the men became exhausted with the hard work of man ning the brakes of the hand engine and the steamer was in danger of destruc tion by tile same fire, took the men's places on the brakes. An aged resi dent, a few years before her death, in conversation said she remembered well the scene and how the late Mrs. Bo throp. Mrs. Betsey Brooks and scores of others did grand work in the man ner spoken of. Mrs. Brooks called to the women: “If the city is to he saved, we women must do it" and the women did their full share. Mrs. I.othrop was remembered as the leader. Mrs. John fuller also was a witness of the scene. Great praise was due and freely given the women for their assistance, who worked during the forenoon and part |of the afternoon, many going without j their dinners. The ruins of the fire presented a most desolate seene. With almost in credible rapidity the entire business section of the city had been wiped out of existence. The buildings generally were burned from the top. causing the walls to come down when the roofs fell, so that scarcely a post or wall was standing on the whole street. Ilverv building on the west side of Water street, from Winthrop to Bridge, and two above Bridge, were burned: ar.d all but the four nearest the bridge on the east side of the street, between Market square and Bridge street, were destroyed. In all 81 buildings, of which -19 were brick and 32 wood, were totally destroyed. This included most of the stores and places of business in •lie city. Every bank was burned out, the postoffire, two hotels, every dry goods and millinery store, every shoe store, every’ clothing store and every lawyer's office. The value of the prop erty destroyed was about .-.00.000. upon which was insurance to half that amount. The origin of the fire was unknown, j but it was thought to have been the I work of an incendiary. The principal losers by this fire, as 1 published in the Kennebec Journal, were as follows: 1 J. W. North, on six stores. $20,0(10; G. W. Ricker, on Stanley house, $9000; j J. W. Bradbury, on stores. $3000; J. 1 W. Bradbury, on library. $1000; J. S. I Hendee. on store, etc.. $3iul0; G. C. j Vose, library and papers, $3000; C. F. ..Potter, store and papers. $3090; Mrs. ill. X. Hodges, stock, m. Stanley Williams, stores. $0000: ec. i>8. 1914, and showed great inter est in the Y. M. C. A. activities, es pecially in the Minstrel show, which was given by the Augusta association j the latter part of April. Mr. Goodman I stated that he had helped Avery se i cure a course for his hoy? in Sunday school and stated that in his opinion Avery was sincere in his work. On cross-examination Mr. Goodman testi fied that on Feb. 19 Avery told him j of his previous marriage but had never told him of his former prison i record. I Attorney Titcnmb stated that upon the receipt of information that his .first wife was living Avery went, at once to Adrian. Mich., and to Cleve land, Ohio, to search the records but found no record of his first wife’s I death or divorce. And Attorney Tit comb argued that the very fact that I Avery returned to Augusta showed I that he was acting in good faith. Attorney Emery Heane of Hallowell stated that his interest in the case was through the mother of the re spondent and through Avery’s second wife formerly Miss Lyford. He stated that the case was one in which other parties suffer more than the Respond ent. And the one person who had suf fered more than anyone else in the j matter, Miss Lyford, believes that j Avery was sincere and did not wish to commit a crime against her. She had admitted this although her in terest in him had ended. The State’s Case 1 County Attorney W. H.

While a member of the choir in one j .if the Augusta churches Avery met Miss I.yford. She was at that time j engaged to a tine young man but I Avery courted her without telling her that he was a married man. The girl's i father. Mr. I,yford. thought that Avery was a rogue and upon investigation he learned that Avery had been mar ried. And the State would also at j tempt to prove that Avery tried to j have published a notice of the death of his first wife and that Avery wrote a letter to his first wife, admitting the wrong he did and asking his wife to commit perjury in the court. Avery on Stand The respondent, Harry Avery, then took the stand and testified that he had received the letter in question, signed "Fred W.” And he stated that the letter might have been from Fred j Willett of Adrian, Mich., as Avery had written to Willett a few days before. I He was not sure, however, as to the signature on the letter. Mrs. Catherine Avery Mrs. Catherine Avery of Cleveland, Ohio. Avery's first wife, upon the stand testified that after her marriage i to Harry Avery on Aug. 20, 1906, they; lived together until Avery disappear ed in Cleveland and later she saw In the paper that Avery bad been arrest ed In St. Louis. In the early spring she talked with him over the telephone. He said that he was in Detroit, Mich., and wished to see her. She refused to go to Detroit, however, and Avery said he couldn't come back to Cleve land. She stated on the stand that the signature on the letter shown to the' court was not like the writing of Fred; Willett of Adrian, Mich., as she knew i it. And she testified that she had nev er applied for a divorce. Fpon cross-examination she stated; that she never had any conversation] with Avery about a divorce and that she did not tell him that she was free 1 from him. Donald Metcalf Donald C. Metcalf of Augusta testi fied that he had been in business with Avery in Augusta and that on the night Avery was arrested Avery show ed him a death certificate from Adrl-; an, Mich., stating the death of Mrs.; Catherine Avery. Avery had also' shown him a letter signed by Fred Willett and it was Mr. Metcalf’s im pression that the name, Fred Willett, had been written out on the signature, rather than signed just “Fred W.” The contents of the letter wap, how i ever, practically the same as the con tents of the letter signed “Fred W." C. A. Philbrook C. A. Philbrook. a job printer, testi fied that Avery had brought a death certificate to him to have printed and had asked him to make an insertion—to 1 write in the name of Catherine Avery. He had refused and Avery wrote in the name in his presence. Deputy Sheriff A. R. Bucklin testified that Charles Kinsman of Augusta had j come up to the jail and that he had heard conversation between them in which Avery stated that he had in his i possession a death certificate of Mrs. Catherine Avery and that he ha 1 re eiv ecl it from the man who had written the letter to him. State vs. Ike Perckey Avery was then returned to the jail and the next case was in order, that of the State vs. Ike Perckey of Boston for assault with attempt to commit larceny. Through his attorney, Emery Beane, Esq., of Hallowell, Perckey had pre viously pleaded not guilty hut this plea was withdrawn and the plea of nolo con tendere entered. Judge Beane deferred sentence on the case and Perckey was returned to the jail. State vs. Albee In the next case, the State vs. George Albee of Gardiner for common nuisance, the plea of not guilty was withdrawn by Attorney Emery Beane and the plea of nolo contendere entered. Albee was se: tenced to pay a fine of $ldO and costs of $50, or to serve six months in jail. Stata vs. Trubell The remainder of the day's session was occupied with the case of the Stat« vs. Tony Wrubell of Augusta for assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to kill. Emery S. Beane. Esq., was the at torney for Wrubell. To the charge the defendant had pleaded not guilty. A number of witnesses were called and testified as to tl.e trouble on June 2S be tween Wrubell and Balenpv Maztirek of Augusta, whom it was alleged that Wru bell struck with a knife. The majority of the witnesses were Tolanders and their testimony was interpreted by E. Zoub of Augusta. Attorney Beane stated that the de fence did not contend that Wrubell in flicted the wound with the knife, but claimed that he acted in self-defence and had no intent of killing Mr. Mazurek. Both attorneys had made their pleas to the jury near the close of the days session. At the opening of today's ses sion Judge Beane will deliver his charge to the jury and the jury will decide upon the case.

TREASURER COLLECTS INTEREST FROM ALL City Treasurer Wardwell is collect ing interest on ail taxes not paid be fore Sept 1st, just as his notice sent out with the tax bills promised. This does not mean that he js collecting the interest money from most taxpayers and exempting a few favethed ones nor that he is exempting most tax payers and collecting from a few picked out for disfavor, the city treas urer is co'. ectmg from all alike with out any discrimination whatever. In the month of September. 1914. only r.t cents in interest money was collected on $80,000 paid in in taxes. ’This Sepiember all checks received without interest added are applied to the account ar.d a statement of the balance due sent the taxpayer, every one is going to pay that interest on the cit\'s money. The interest revenue will am- unt to a considerable sum in the course of the year. For instance, one large taxpayer paid taxes in Feb ruary. 1014. without interest. Had the interest been computed and paid the city would have been $TQ richer. The city treasurer believes this pol icy is not only the right one for the interest of the city. but that it is the only fair policy to follow He believes that taxes should be collected fr*-m all taxpayers without any discrimina tion in the consideration f interest money and that the city is owed in terest until it is paid AMUSEMENTS COLONIAL THEATRE Ma^el.

Automobile Struck by Engine on Crossing Near Farmington and Thro wn over 40-foot Em bankment Farmington, Me., Sept. 16.—Dr. Jus tin N. Rogers, a dentist at Patten un til recently, and his wife were killed today when their automobile was struck on a crossing near here by a Maine Central passenger train. The car was thrown over an embankment, falling 40 feet. The accident happened on the Low ell crossing, about three miles below Farmington village. A few minutes after 8 o’clock, Ar thur Ellsworth, who was driving a team toward Lowell’s crossing, saw the accident, and was one of the first to reach the scene, assisting the train men in taking care of the bodies. Mr. Ellsworth says that the auto was about half way across the track when struck. He hitched his horses and hurried to give assistance but both the man and woman were instantly kill ed. The bodies were frightfully muti lated. The identification was made by means of a tax receipt on a card bear ing the name of "Dr. J. N. Rogers of Patten, dentist,'’ found in the man’s pocket. The bodies were taken to the bag gage station at Wilton, where they now are awaiting the arrival of the authorities. The automobile was smashed into kindling wood. Dr. and Mrs. Rogers had been guests of Dr. Rogers’ cousin. Mrs. Stella Allen, the matron at Purinton hall, Farmington Normal school. They passed the night at the dormitory and left in their Ford touring car at 8 o’clock this morning. Lowell's cross ing where the accident occurred is only two and one-half miles from Farmington. The train struck the auto at about R.10 o’clock. Dr. Rogers was 38 years of age and Mrs. Rogers about 31. They leave no children. The approach to Lowell Crossing is said, to be a blind one with a steep grade and it was supposed Dr. Rogers stalled ais engipe in attempting to prevent a collision. He was dead when picked up and Mrs. Rogers died within a few min utes. Dr. Rogers was a native of Monson. Ho had been located at Patten 10 years, but sold out his business two years ago and was intending to settle in Portland. They were making the trip from Patten in their automobile, and on the way had stopped here over night at Farmington. Mrs. Rogers, who was about 21 years of age, was Maude McCloud of Patten. They were married a year ago. Dr. Rogers was 3S years old. He at tended Bates college two years, then went to the BaP'more Dental college, Baltimore, Md., from which Institution he graduated. Mrs. Rogers was formerly Miss Mc Cloud of Patten, and 22 years of age. She was a graduate of the department of household science, Simmons college. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers had been marrie 1 about one year. ...v At the time of the accident, it is learn ed, they were on their way to Berlin. X. H., to visit relatives. BULGARIA ASKS AN IMMEDIATE AND DEFINITE EXPLANATION FROM GREECE AND RUMANIA CONCERNING TROOPS-TURKEY OBEYS NEW TREATY Rome, Sept. 15.—(Via Paris, Sept. IB, B.10 A. M.).—Because of the concentra tions of Greek and Rumanian troops rn the Bulgarian frontier, the Bulgarian foreign minister has instructed the rep resentatives of that country at Athens and Bucharest to request an immediate and definite explanation, according to a Sofia dispatch to the Giornale D'Italia. Turkey's Agreement Press dispatches from Bucharest state that the Turks already have begun to carry out the provisions of the Turco Bulgarian agreement. They have aban doned the barracks at Karaghatch and destroyed the forts on the right bank of the Mariza river, taking the guns and barbed wire to the Gallipoli peninsula. The Bulgarian prefect at Ktara Zagora has gone to Adrianople to arrange to take formal possession of the ceded ter ritory in the presence of his Turkish and Bulgarian ministers on Sept. IS. The Turkish vali of Adrianople lias gone to Constantinople to obtain instructions from the Porte on tiie same subject. The massing of German and Austrian troops on the Rumanian frontier has re suited in the Balkan nation making prep arations for eventualities. A large pat of her army already has been mobilized and reservists in other countries have been ordered home. A steadfast refusal of Rumania to per mit the transportation through her ter ritory by Germany of military supplies for Turkey is supposed to have aroused the animosity of the central empire. New Bulgarian League Advices from Rome were to the effect j that negotiations were under way for the I formation of a new Balkan league to be composed of Rumania, Serbia and Greece. Bulgaria, it was said, was not included In the negotiations because of her agree ment with Turkey by which she will ob tain possession of territory along the Pedeaghatch railway. Montenegro prob ably would act in accord with the other three powers, as she already is arrayed on the side of the Allies in the war.

M.).—The Russian Duma was pro rogued today until mid-November, Presi dent Rodzianko announcing an imperial order authorizing the proprogation had been transmitted through Premier Gor emykin.

j London, Sept. 16.—(5.01 P. M.).—The ad j miralty announced today that in all 1 probability the British submarine E-7 had been sunk off the Dardanelles. The I statement follows: “The enemy claims to have sunk the submarine E-7, Lieut. Commander Arch 1 ibald D.

Renewal of the report that the so-called pro-German financial interests of New York might participate in the loan followed their talk. JOURNAL WANT ADS BRING RESULTS TRY ONE AND SEE PRIZE COURT (Continued from Page One) not prove conclusively that they were destined for an enemy of Great Brit ain. Sir Samuel Evans’ decision has aroused intense interest among all the representatives of American packing firms here as well as those immedi ately involved as no American meat products have been shipped to Euro pean neutrals since last May and the unfavorable results of the packers’ case is likely to cause further stop page of this trade. "We intend to carry the case to the privy council, where we expect to win,” said Alfred R. Urion, attorney for the Chicago packers, "but should the decision there be adverse we shall carry it still further." It is known that the packers in the event of losing in the Privy Council, will turn further appeals into diplo matic channels, with an international commission as a possible court of fi nal appeals The packers contend that, as the orders in council of last March were not in force when the ships were seized, the seizure occurring last Oc tober. it is not even incumbent upon them to prove that the. cargoes were not destined for a nation at war with Great Britain and they expect this contention would be upheld by an in ternational tribunal. Since the cargoes were seized in Oc tober, many efforts have been made to settle the matter out of court. At one time, the opposing parties are said to have come within $2,000,WO of ar riving at a settlement. AMERICAN PACKERS (Continued from Page 1) decision of the British prize court re ceived today: “Not Justified'' “England’s confiscation of $2,500,000 worth of American meat products as announced in the press dispatches to day is not justified by the facts on any principle of international law. It can only be construed as of another step in England’s policy to interfere with the trade of American citizens with the citizens of neutral countries. All these shipments were destined to neutral countries and the ships’ pa pers, at the time of their seizure, clearly showed such fact. They were not destined to or for the enemy of Great Britain, and upon trial of the (ase, no evidence showing they were destined to such enemy of Great Brit ain was adduced and none could have been. This makes necessary further presentation of stronger protests to the Department of State for an equit jnble adjustment of the claims. Efforts to Comply ‘Trior to the time of the seizure of these shipments, every e.ffort was made to comply with every regulation and re striction made by the various orders in council issued by the government of Great Britain placed upon such ship ments, even though such orders were clearly in violation of the principles of international law an;l concerning which orders our state department notified the government of Great Britain that this government would not recognize any prize court decision based upon orders In council, or upon any rules or regula tions other than the recognized principles of international law. Notwithstanding the fact of compliance with every order issued by them, whether reasonable or otherwise, American goods were seized and taken into English ports and held there for many months before oppor tunity was given to present the claims in the prize courts. Deny British Contention "It would appear from the brief dis patches that the court bases its right to seize the shipments on the theory that the amount of products being shipped to Denmark in these neutral ships Is In excess of quantities received prior to the declaration of war. These neutral coun tries received large quantities of these products through German ports prior to the war and through other sources of supply which the war shut off. That these countries want more of our pro ducts than before furnished no justifica tion for such seizure.” HOT WAVE (Continued from Page One) and the schools and business were generally suspended.

The chairman and Secretary Mad docks of Boothbay fully agreed that the conditions of the fisheries was so bad that this shark pest was more than the fishermen of Maine to Flor ida can stand.

Mr. Davis brought Mr. Maddocks’ atten tion to the desirability of the attor ney generals of the said states stating that this dogfish-shark pest was far more than the states could stand and to ask the attorney generals to take up the case on behalf of each of their own states. The form of the first letter was agred upon and Mr. Davis’ letter will now go forward on these lines. The work on the State road at Gambo Is progressing rapidly, says the Portland Argus.

Sept. 16.—(Special!. I The heat made football practice at the college rather doppy Thursday. There was not a particularly large squad oil* and the men all went at their work as though they were not particularly pleased with it. A long drill was held with the backs and ends in handling the forward pass and it was evident that a lot more drill will be necessary before thev^ will be able to do anything with itWA num ber of the men who ar° depended upon to make the team a winner this year i have not shown tip as yet and the 1 manager, coach and captain are com 1 mcncing to wear rather anxious faces when their names are mentioned. There were no new men Thursday night that looked good in any partic ular and the practice was anything but first class. Considerable work was done with the tackling dummy and falling on the ball and passing was about all that was indulged in. The boys in the squad are hoping for cool er weather and the return of some of the stars who are expected, when un doubtedly the team will take on a better appearance. STIFF DRILLING FOR C, G. I.

Fractice in falling on the ball, catching it and a long drill at the tackling dummy was the order of the day and the boys were a tired lot when he got through with them. Kew er and Kolseth of last year's splendid j team were out for the first time, and their work was not quite as heavy as 1 the rest. Both men have been playing ball all summer and are in fairly good condition. Here also colder weather j is hoped for so that the team may get in condition. The High school boys were given a stiff drill on their grounds. Coach Fraser working hard to get speed into the boys that he may be able to have a team that will make up in quickness what it lacks in weight. The boys are taking hold of the practice well and are all doing their best for Faser, who is very popular and is working his hardest that the team that represents the school may be a good one. There. were no new players out here and the prospects are that the coach will have to develop his team from the material on hand. MT.
