The decision of the Pan American conference of diplomats in New York to §tudy within the next three weeks “the material and moral capa ity'* of the elements aspiring to recognition has led to the general belief here by offi cials that unless the military situation in Mexico was much hanged in that pe riod recognition of the Carranza mote merit is virtually certain. The United States and the several gov ernments which have taken the situation under advisement intend, however, to investigate carefully the physical state of affairs in Mexico ;n order to learn whether the faction in military suprema cy gives promise as well of creating stable government. RAYMOND FOGG, SCARBORO BOY, DROWNS SUNDAY Portland. Me Sept. 1?.—Raymond E. Fogg. 14, son of Edward Fogg of Scar boro. was drowned in the Nonesuch river today while wading. The boy slipped into a deep hole and an elder brother and man who were nearby were unable to go to the rescue as they could not swim. The body was recovered about two hours later. LEWISTON MAN INJURED WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO Methuen. Mass., Sept. 19.—In trying to avoid a man who had .lumped from a moving trolley car into the path of his automobile, John F. Shackleton, super intendent of the Pemberton Mills of Lawrence, ran down and fatally injured Charles Richardson of this town today. Richardson died at the hospital He was 40 years old. Alfred Fortin of Lewiston. Me., the man who jumped from the car, was also hit by the automobile and was seriously Injured. Shackleton nail a ner vous collapse after the accident. He was still unconscious several hot rs later and his condition was regarled as seri ous. According to bystanders. Shackle ton, who was accompanied by his wife and child, was driving at a moderate rate of speed. He a.‘cmpt?d to turn his machine quickly ■whez Fortin jumped and in so doing struck both Tcrtin and Richardson, who was f.n the sidewalk. Munitions of War Whether munitions of war will be included within the scope of the pro posed credit, so far as could be learn- 1

od tonight, has not been decided. The underwriting syndicate, it was reported, will be the largest of ita kind ever established in the United i i (States and probably will be opened; 1 to nearly all national banks, trust companies and state banks that may j care to participate. While the amount of the commission to be paid these' banks was not expressed in percent ages, it is understood that the profit will be a small one. possibly one-half of one per cent. Victory for U. S. Financiers I Elimination of the reported differ- eni e in opinion betw een American financiers and members of the Anglo- j French commission over the manner of placing the loan apparently has resulted in a victory for the American financiers. Previous reports indicated: that the commission felt that the loan 1 should be placed by subscription and that there should be no underwriting i syndicate. The Plan Accepted The American conferees were re 1 ported to favor adoption of a plan whereby a syndicate would underwrite the big issue and would receive at j least one-half of one per cent, for its services. This, it is reported, has been the plan tentatively agreed to. Efforts to elicit an expression of the commission’s views on this point to night were futile. The various mem bers of the delegation have been spend ing the day out of town, and it was said at their hotel that some of them were not expected to return until tomor row. However, word that an agreement had been tentatively reached on this de tail of the negotiations, one of the chief considered, came from several sources 1 whose ability to speak with authority cannot be questioned. Investor Pays Par So far as the plan has now developed, ii is the intention of the conferees, it is reported, to open their books to virtually all the banks if not all, who wish to par- i ticipate and to place the bonds with any and all of them, pro-German or other-! wise, at a figure only a shade hetter than i that which the investor will have to pay, which, it was said tonight, will be par. The interest rate, it wrs understood, has been definitely agreed upon at 5 per cent. One vital issue wet remains for de cision—whether the big sum realized by1 the sale of the bonds shall be available for the payment for munitions of war, as well at wheat, cotton and other commodi- ties. Chief among other minor details yet to be worked out is the matter of Rus- sia’s participation. Indications were ta- j night that munitions would be excluded from the scope of the lean and that an- j other method would be adopted to pay J for them. Methods of Paying Two obvious waya of doing thla are open: Payment In gold to be shipped; (Continued on Paco 10—Col. 7) I Few Days Likely to See Decision of Pennant Contests New York, Sept. 19.—The pennant races in both the major leagues are |near a decision. In fact, the Na tional League pennant seems to be fairly well within Philadelphia's grasp, while with the important se ries in Boston nearly over the Red So* bid fair to see the winning of their hopes. The chief interest cen tered in the Boston series, wnere the lead was at stake when Detroit arrived. The Red Sox had made excellent preparation for the oig event by beating off an attack by Chicago and shattering whatever expectations the White Sox may have had cf cacturing the bunting. The Red Sox have won two of three games with the Tigers. Even should the Detroits win the fourth game tomorrow they would be no nearer the leaders than they i were when they landed in Boston, j At present, they are three and a 1 half games behind. The National League race is still 1 more complex, although it is hard to figure how the Phillies’ excellent lead over both Brooklyn and Bos ton is to be overcome. The Brooklyns kept pace with the j Quakers during the week. As for the Braves, their double victory over St. Lbuis yesterday came opportunely lo save them from making a poor record for the week, while their success in win ning from Cincinnati today tied them with the Brooklyns for sec ond place. _ ■5*-—-+ SUIT BROUGHT FOR LIBEL UPON DWIGHT HILLIS New York, Sept. IS.—A summons was served Saturday on Kev. Dr. Newell Uwight iiiilis, pastor of Brooklyn's fa mous Plymouth chujrh, in a suit alleging libel brought by h^t nephew, Percy ii. Hillis. The amount of damages claimed is $50,000. N"o complaint accompanied the sum mons, which places the case in the su preme court in Kings county, and only meager details of the grounds for action against the clergyman were made public by William Austin Moore, attorney for the plaintiff. Mr. Moore issued the following signs 1 statement yesterday after the service-of the smmons: "When Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hil is, pastor of Plymouth church, was lectur ing at Chautaquay, in the vicinity of Portland. Ore., on July 13, suit was in stituted against him on account of notes amounting to little more than $12,000 by Brayton A- Lawbaugh, with offices in Chicago and Portland, who had cruised several years previously large umber tracts in British Columbia owned by Dr. Hillis and for which services he had given them his notes. As a result of that lawsuit, an ar ticle appeared in the Brooklyn Daily Kagle the following day and in the Portland Oregonian, July 15, another article appeared reporting an inter view with Dr. Hillis. In both of these articles it was affirmed that the suit was brought on account of obligations which Dr. Hillis ahd assumed for his nephews, or timber companies in which they were interested, and on account of the failure of the nephews and ol the timber companies in which they were interested, and on account of the failure of the nephews and of the timber companies he had assumed all their liabilities, for which he was not responsible, amounting to over $100. 00O. "Percy D Hillis. the one nephew whr had chiefly represented Dr. Hillis in his extensive timber speculations, promptly denied, in letter to Dr. Hillis and also by telegrams to the press, the false and damaging statements made in the two articles published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the Orego nian. and called upon his uncle to make public retraction, which the un cle has declined or failed to do. He also offered to submit any issues be tween them to a board of arbitrators. "This proposition has not been act ed upon by his uncle. He has there fore instructed me to institute a suit for li iel in the sum of $50,000, and in accordance with his instructions ;his suit has been begun.” The only comment made hv the preacher as his eye scanned the legal paper was: "This is too bad—too bad.” Percy Hillis is living at P.ochy Point in British Columbia, away from all lines of railroad communication, but inaccessability has not saved him from heavy pressure designed to turn him from his suit. Arguments and peace proposals for warded by mail and wire have been powerless to sta yhim from his pur pose.

Sept. 19.—9.10 P. M.—A dis patch to Reuters' Telegram Co. from Sofia, Bulgaria, dated Sept. IT. says: The Opposition leaders at their au dience with Kin? Ferdinand declared that it would he fatal for the country to continue its neutral policy and in order to safeguard the country against a policy which would he contrary to the interests and sentiments of the nation they recommended the forma- i tion of a coalition cabinet and the im- mediate summoning of Parliament. "The King listened attentively to the speeches of the Opposition leaders and promised to consider seriously the i views expressed by them. After the audience the King summoned Premier Radoslavoff. “Five political parties were repre sented at the audience and the leader of each outlined at length the views of his party on the political situation. The eagerness of the King to receive the deputation has considerably re lieved public feeling.” OPERATIONS ON THE FRONTIERS OF THE BALKANS Rome, Sept. IS.—Via Paris. 5.40 P. j 1 M.—Active operations are likely soon 1 to he undpr way along the frontiers of the Balkan states, the Tribune de- j dares it learns from competent sources. It says that an Austro-Ger man movement has been planned for the latter part of October, the plan involving the expected division of 500.000 men from the Russian cam paign to the Balkans, with the simul taneous securing of Bulgaria's adher ence in the move to open a route from Buda Pest to Constantinople. The Tribuna and other journals ar gue the necessity of offsetting this move by the concentration in the Dar danelles of all possible forces of the Entente Allies, declaring the issue turns on which side takes Constanti nople first. the Austro Germans through Bulgaria or the Allies through the Dardanelles.

M.—The Russian City of Vilna,

at which the armies of Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg had been i driving and which was stubbornly defended until nearly surrounded by hostile forces, has been occupied by the Germans, it was officially announced by German army head- i quarters today. The text of the official announce I ment follows: ‘‘Eastern theatre of war: Army group of Field Marshal Von Hin denburg—the extensive attack by Gen. Von Eichborn against Vilna 1 has been crowned with complete success. Our left wing has reach i ed Molodechno, Smorgon and Wor jany. Attempts by the enemy to break through our lines in the di rection of Mischalischk with strong forces hurriedly collected failed completely. “Because of the uninterrupted progress of our encircling move I ment and simultaneous attacks by the troops of Gens. Von Scholx and Von Gallwitz upon the enemy's front, the forces opposing us have i been forced since yesterday to re treat as quickly as possible along the entire front. The strongly for j tified town of Vilna fell into our hands. The enemy is being pursued along the entire line.’’ Conscription the Topic of Lloyd=George Appeals to British People to Give Government Opportunity to Make Unharassed Decision over Compulsory Service London, Sept. 19. 8 P. M.—David Lloyd-George, minister of munitions, in a letter to one of his constituents, issued by the Official Press Bureau this evening. appeals to the people to give the government a fair chance to decide the question of compulsory ser vice and reiterates his view that the situation is a seroius one which de mands that the country, if victory is to fall to the allies, must exert its whole strength. Mr. Lloyd-George says: "You say, and say rightly, that the government ought to give the nation a lead on the question whether the moral obligation of every able-bodied man to defend his country should be converted during this war into a legal obligation. Government’s Problem "The government. I can assure you, are fully alive to the necessity for giv ing a definite lead. They are engaged in examining the subject with a view to coming to the right decision. Un due delay may be disastrous, but un due precipitation might be equally dis astrous. Let us avoid both. The issue is one of fact not of principle. "If the figures demonstrate that we can win through with the voluntary system it would be folly to provoke a controversy in the middle of a world war bv attempts to substitute a total ly different method. On the other hand, if these figures demonstrate ot every unprejudiced person that the voluntary system has exhausted its utility, and nothing bit legal pressure can give us the armies necessary to defend the honor of Great Britan and save Europe from the triumph of mil itary despotism I have not yet heard of the man who would resist compul sion. And under these circumstances the men who say they would offer re sistance to this expedient, even if proven to be necessary to save their country and the freedom of the world, have not yet appeared in the arena, and if they do, I predict that their protectors will not be found amongst the working classes. Wasting of Fervor "It is all a question of ascertainable facts. 'Why, then, all this premature an ger? The determining facts have not yet been published. When they have been sifted and made known the advocates of one view or the other will surely find that whole cylinders of fervor and feroc ity have been wasted in attacking posi tions which they will then discover they ought to defend. Let the government have a fair chance to decide. “The opinions I have formed as to the essential action are prompted by the sin cere persuasion that nothing but the ex (Continued on Page 10—Column 5) GENERAL VON EIGHHORN Pupil and Protege of Von Hindenburg and Man Who Led Capture of Kov* no and Vilna Russians Confident i of Result 1 Express Optimism Re garding Situation De j spite Probability That No Aid Can Reach Beleaguered Forces BELLIGERENCY IN BULGARIA London. Sept. 19, 9.40 P, M.—The Germans have occupied Vilna and by a wide sweeping movement north of that city have succeeded in almost if not entirely surrounding a portion of the Russian army which is fighting in i the railway triangle between Vilna, Lida and Vileika. At any rate, the Russian forces in this district either must fight their way out eastward or retire to the southeast, for the only railway left entirely in their hands is that which runs from Vilna to Lida and thence i to Baranovitchi.

Russians Confident The Russians express confidence in the outcome of the battle which must he decided before complete success falls to one side or the other, but with their northern armies closely held along the Dvina and the German flank well protected by their cavalry w hich recently occupied Widsy across the Vilna Petrograd railwaj-, it seems im possible that any aid can come to th-'-m j from that direction.

Ivanoff’s Successes At the southern end of the line Gen. Ivanoff is still keeping Field Marshal vo;i Mackenzen at arm's length from the i fortress of Rovno, the key to the route to Kiev, and in counter-attacks has re 1 taken a number of villages both in Volhyna and Galicia.

The General Says: I believe in men. Organization is as important as money or mills to an industry. Know-why and know-how are essential to any success. Every one of us has to acknowledge that the same sort of military preparedness that fits a nation for its defense is the most effective principle in making an industry of any kind serviceable and profitable both to manufacturer and consumer. This great roofing organization is trained like an army Three enormous mills—officered and manned by the best-trained force ever enlisted in an industrial army—three huge factories that are run like clockwork— Military exactness in the securing and selection of raw material, and in every step from then on until the finished product is distributed and sold— Constant readiness—being prepared every minute for the work to be done the next— Right there you have your finger on the great, essential reasons for the unfailing satisfaction every user finds in ertain-teed Products Certain-teed Roofing simply has no superior. It is the best roofing that can be made by anybody anywhere, and we are justified in saying that it is the best made in the world. We guarantee the one-ply for five years, two-ply for ten years, and three-ply for fifteen years. And that guarantee means the minimum life of Certain-teed Roofing. It will outlive its guarantee, you may believe. We also make Standard Quality and Competition Qual ity at lower prices. If you want a cheaper roofing, that cannot bear the Certain-teed Guarantee, you can get it of us—and get a better value, too. A manufacturer’s guarantee is worth just ns much as that manufacturer’s standing and history indicate. The General Roofing Company is the largest institution of its kind in the world. It has a bigger and better equip ment than any other concern in the business. When it began business, roofing cost two or three times as much as it does today—and wasn’t of as high quality. In other words the General has raised quality and lowered prices—and today out of every five rolls of roofing sold one of them bears the Certain-teed label, and the Gen eral’s sales represent 30 of the total ‘volume of all makes of asphalt roofings and building papers. So we look back at the past with satisfaction and we look ahead to the future with confidence. And we want every dealer in and user of our products to share that satisfaction and confidence, because we know we have the plants, the men and the goods to justify every bit of it. Your dealer will show you the Certain-teed Label. It means just as much to him as it does to you.

A PLAN TO FINANCE NEW POTASH IDEA (New York Sun Sept. 17.) So great has the need become of find ing some method of supplying potash in this country in large quantities that Dr. Thomas H. Norton of the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce has had an almost endless train of visitors who want Information on the possibilities of build ing up a potash industry here. A chem ist who has for several years devoted himself to efforts to solve the potash problem called on Dr. Norton yesterday and told him of another method of pro ducing potassium chloride from feldspar which Dr. Norton thinks is very promis ing. It has been brought to the attention of men who are interested in potash. They will have a conference with Dr. Norton at the Bankers’ Club on Friday, when the question of linancing the new in vention will be discussed. Quantities of feldspar in Maine, which contain on an The Best Remedy For All Ages and proven so by thousands upon thousands of tests the whole world over, is the famous family medicine,— Beecham’s Pills.

average 11 per cent, of potash, have been brought to the attention of Dr. Norton. A new vegetable product which appar ently can be used as a red coloring mat ter arrived yesterday at the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in thi3 city. It is now being tested by Dr. Norton in the hope that lie may tind it available for textile libres, as well as wool, paper and straw. Dr. Norton had lunch yesterday with officers of the New York branch of one of the big dyestuff concerns of Germany, and discussed with them the solution of the problem, so far as they were con cerned, of securing supplies from foreign sources. “There is apparently no doubt that the German manufacturers of artificial colors are in a position to ship immediately to their American representatives an ample supply of nearly all of the colors cur rently needed by American textile and allied industries as soon as existing em bargoes are raised," said Dr. Norton. When asked what would he the effect of the lifting of the British embargo on dyestuffs and other coal tar products, a report of which had reached this coun try, Dr. Norton said that he did not think it would bring benefit to any but those engaged in the importation of me dicinal drugs and chemicals. It is an old story, he said, that Ger many will not permit dyestuffs to como to this country until England permits an equal value of cotton to be shipped to Germany.

Since1 that time the daily dip has attracted the attention of hundreds of sojourners at I.add's Camp, on the shore of the lake at Fryeburg. Young Howe's other pet is a dog and both animals have been in the habit of accompanying their master on canoeing trips. One day both were lifted from the canoe on to a small raft used by swim mers and moored some distance from shore. A camper wished to photograph them and while he was engaged in this work two swimmers attempted to climb on the raft, submerging it and throwing both the cat and dog into the water. Instead of showing any terror, the cat struck out for shore in the wake of the dog. and. though a slower swimmer, made land in safety, stalked up the beach, shook the water from her fur and stretched herself in the sun to dry. She showed no antipathy toward the water when taken out to the raft again, but the minute the wooden platform was tipped or submerged by the weight of bathers she would make for shore, swim ming easily and with just her head show ing above the surface. It is noted that the cat swims much more quietly and smoothly than the dog. At the outset it was necessary to tip the raft to make the cat swim, but per sistent coaching by her master soon gave her added confidence, and one day. when the dog .lumped from the raft into the water. Tabby followed him and since that time has always dived from the raft at word of command. Moreover, she appears to enjoy the daily dip and as a result has developed a coat of unusual sleekness and fineness. The cat is two years old and she and the do* are inseparable, even going on hunt ing expeditions together in the neighbor ing woods and fields. No Argentine corn has been receiv ed in Bangor this year, the reason be ing. according to a Bangor dealer that the price is too high to compete with western corn.

Mr.\ Phalen entered the left eye and although it did not destroy the eye, there is little hope of saving it even if the boy lives. Physicians were called and the young man was removed to Gray’s hospital, where it was found necessary to remove the left arm at the shoul der and to take out part of the shoul der blade. The boy is in a very criti cal condition and small hopes are en tertained for his recovery. His brother is prostrated by his part in the trag edy although no blame has been at tached to him for the accident. iti. condiHoB^.’ln Mexico,.and said that the Mexican* feel that this country is composed of a race of weaklings, ow ing to the fact that the only result of their depredations on our land and the murdering of American citizens and the destruction of American prop erty, have been notes, saying to them: "Please be good." and "why don't you stop" and all the while American manufacturers are getting rich send ing them arms and ammunition tp kill ’each other and American citizens. He then took up the situation to the north, where Panada is now at war, sending forth its men and hoys to the field of battle, to the west where Japan is also in fighting trim and to the east where nearly all of the nations are at war. He declared that we are thus sur rounded by a wall of steel and we must recognize the fact that any one of these nations may decide to attack us and that it is necessary for us to become prepared for this by an ade quate armv and navy, but it is also necessary for us to become prepared by altering out mode of living, by spending less money for the unneces sary things of life and returning more and mote to the older and simplier way of, living. He declared that there was as much danger from the high liv ing of our people ns there is from at tack by armed enemies from the out side it was a powerful plea for a more conservative way of living and for more attention to the needs of the nation and was listened to with a great deal of interes-t by a large con gregation.

The stuff taken was in the front part of the store and the thieves must have worked very near the window. The firm does not have a light in the store at night and although the police pass that way frequently, the robbery was not discovered until Sunday morning, and as a result the police have notlfe ing.to work on.

Th# York County Poultry Show. $We initial meeting in a big cam paAf^l to boost the York County poul try^hew wAs held Friday night at the hall at Sanford. The principal •dtStfasses were given by William c’. jMoJahan, extension poultry instructor at tlw University of Maine, and county agent H. H. Nash. Plans for making the poultry show one of the biggest events in the county were enthusiasti discussed and it was voted to iMV Us scope by offering prizes d. premiums for fancy pets, dogs, and pigeons, .as well as for the' .tides submitted by poultry fanciers. M ';i Prize Debating and Speak* ing Cash Prizes at Colby Announcement was made on Friday by Prof. H. C. Libby, head of the de partment of public speaking at Colby, that for the seventh consecutive year the four donors who have made pos sible an annual distribution of $400 in cash prizes among students of the preparatory schools and among the students at Colby have again signified their desire to give such prizes to the college. The announcement will be received with genuine pleasure by those in any way affiliated with the college. It is difficult to estimate just what these cash prizes mean to many of the students who compete for them. In the first place, they have a tendency as a matter of course to turn atten tion of students from athletics to the real first purpose of all educational work; and in the second place, they mean much in the way of financial assistance to many young men who are struggling for an education. Near ly *3000 will have been distributed in cash prizes by the department of pub lic speaking at the close of the pres ent academic year. A number of changes will be made in the four large contests to be held this year. The first contest to be held will be for the Murray Debating Prizes. In previous years this contest has been held late in the academic year, usual ly in May. This year, it will lead off all the other contests and will mark the close of the work in debating for the first semester. As usual, the prizes will he distributed among mem bers electing the course known as De bating 5, the members of which will be required to perpare a debate on subjects to be announced, and to speak excerpts before a board of judges. Six highest ranking men will lie selected for the final contest. This debate will be in the way of a pre liminary for men who intend to com pete for places on the intercollegiate debating teams. The second contest which will be held early in March will be for the Goodwin Debating Prizes and will be held under the auspices of the Good win Interscholastic Debating League. For the present year the Goodwin League will be conducted on a much larger scale than heretofore. A larg er number of schools will be invited to participate which will mean a larger number of interscholastic debates to be held under the auspices of different fitting schools of Maine. Unusual in terest has been aroused In previous years in these debates. In 1913 for instance several special trains 'were run to accommodate student bodies who visited nearby towns in support of their debating teams. The League will be conducted by the Colby Debat ing Society. The third contest to be held early in May will be the Hallowell Prize Speaking Contest. These prizes will be available for members of the class in Public Speaking 6. and their dis tribution will be governed by excel lence of work in composition and speaking. Heretofore, students have selected their own subjects, but this year a general theme will govern all the subjects, and the subjects them selves will be announced by the de partment. A new set of rules govern ing these prizes will be announced during the second semester by means of which a much more valuable con test will be assured. The last contest for the year, held usually in late May, will be the Ly ford Interscholastic Prize speaking contest. This contest has annually at tracted a larger and larger number of preparatory school students. Last year 40 schools in Maine and New Hampshire sent 60 boys to contest for the big prizes, probably the largest oratorical contest ever held in New Kngland. It is possible that for 1915 16 young orators may be admitted from Massachusetts in which case the college may well expect to entertain a larger company of young men. The Murray prizes are the gift of George Edwin Murray, Colby '79, of Lawrence, Mass.; the Hallowell prizes of Judge F. M. Hallowell, Colby ’77, of Kearney, Neb.; the Goodwin prizes, of Mrs. Matie E. Goodwin of Skowhe gan, in memory of Hon. Forrest Good win, Colby ’87; the Lyford prizes, of Will H. Lyford, Colby '79, of Chicago. REPORT OF BELGIAN RELIEF COMMISSION RECORDS THE DISBURSEMENT 0F$50,000,000 (Associated Press Correspondence.) London, Sept. 9.—The first complete re port of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, covering the first eight months of its existence, teveals that in income1 .anti expenditure the organization forms the greatest relief movement of history. The Commission has collected anil dis bursed $50,000,000, $15,000,000 of which has been contributed in the form of money or gift food by the people of the United States and the British Umpire and Bel gium itself, '"lie bulk of the income has come from other than purely philanthro pic sources, but the raising of this enor mous sum has been exclusively the work of the commission, which by financial ar rangements with Belgian individuals and institutions, exchange of currency with Belgium and a system of providing the solvent Belgian inhabitants, has main tained the entire population of a nation for almost a year. A remarkable feature of the report which has hitherto received hut little no tice is the effort being made by the Bel gians to help themselves. Over 50 per cent, of the money expended by the com mission in benevolence is being furnished by Belgians ahroad. aqd a large amount also is being supplied by Belgians in Bel gium. In discussing the report Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the Commission, I said: “It may cause more surprise among Americans, who believe that the United States is provisioning the Belgian and French people in the track of war, that only something over $fi,non,ntio dollars in food, clothes and money have come from the United States. However, the American public should realize that the I commission in its organization, working I personnel and political aspects is dis tinctly American. The American chari table support, so early and promptly given, came at the very inception of the movement when such harking was vital i to the success of the organization in giv j ing it time to build. This support gave i the commission its foundation from which it acquired the moral prestige that enabled it to secure vitally necessary concessions from the various belligerent governments. Nor is the necessity for this valued support at all over. The problem becomes more difficult every day for the number of destitute has increased from 1,000,000 last October to 2,750,W0 in dune, and now grows at the rate of 200,WO a month. And our resources large as i they are cannot keep pace with the need if the charitable public loses interest in j our work. Moreover, the continued sup port of America is necessary to provide the Commission with the moral prestige i as an American institution which it now possesses in the sight of the warring j Powers, and the maintenance of this prestige can only be secured by the con tined sentimental and practical baca i ing of the American people.” I The report includes detailed statements j of the commission's work, such as com plete accounts, of the disposition of 195 j cargoes of foodstuffs and clothing, and other statistical data, as well as a gen j eral survey of the situation in Belgum. j It is pointed out that the organization as It stands now is the result of constant up-building, a feature of which has been the organization of local relief commit tees in practically every commtlne with a federal system of district and provin cial committees with the Comite Na tional at the apex. The relation of this structure to the commission is one of joint endeavor, and the membership of Americans entirely Interlocks the organi zation. The relief operations are divided into three classes, one to provision the entire population, another tc conduct financial relief and exchange opeg|tlons; and third to care for the destitute? "The provisioning department,” says the report, "is charged with the duty of revictualling the whole 7,000,000 people with necessary imports, and up to June 30 had either delivered or had in stock over 600,000 tons of foodstuffs for the Bel gian section to the gross value of over J43.300.000. The whole of these foodstuffs are resold to the population through a broad system of reticulation, and the profit earned on these operations is de voted to the support of the destitute. Such profits have been made possible by the volunteer executive, commercial and transportation services, and the amount of these profits—about $4,800,000 to date— is the measure of the value of such vol untary service." After referring to the work of the financial relief and benevolent depart ments, the committee states that half a million people who might otherwise have fallen into destitution have been provid ed for through the remittances made available by this department, which to June 30 totaled about $20,000,000. "Through the benevolent department," the report continues, “the charity of the world and of the Belgian people them selves is mobilized to the support of the destitute, and through it over 2,750,000 persons are now being assisted in some measure with food and clothing. The to tal resources made available to the com mission from abroad for the support of the destitute was over $31,000,000 to June 30. and the expenditure from these sources was at that date $25,000,000, and is now proceeding at the rate of about $5,000,000 per month. Beyond this ex penditure lies local charity, now exceed ing $10,000,000, The Belgian people have risen to an unprecedented emergency with the utmost devotion, and aside from j local charity about 50 per cent, of the charitable funds of the commission from abroad are provided by Belgians and Bel gian institutions. "The response of the American, British and other people to the plea on behalf of the Belgians has been without parallel j in international philanthropy—amounting I today to nearly $15,000,000 In cash, food and Mottling. “The growing and gloomy problem i3 one of unemployment, for month by month a larger proportion of the indus trial mass of over 3,500,000 people falls further and further into destitution. "Generous as the resources placed at the commission's disposal are, they are pitifully small when spread over the number who are wholly dependent or who are becoming dependent with increasing frequency. It will appear from this re port that the commission is transmit ting $5,000,000 a month from the outside world for the destitute, yet this sum divided over those now unemployed and i destitute would average less than *ive j cents per day. It is evident that the commission's work has been only supple j mental to individual resources, and these can obviously but diminish throughout the period of the war unless something can be done to at least overcome the ln duMrial stagnation.” In addition to the Belgian people, the commission also supplies the French i population within the German occupied j territory, which number about 2,300.000. j The cost of supporting these people I amounts to about $4,000,000 a, month, and is accomplished entirely without recourse to charity by financial arangements which the commission has instituted whereby the towns in the occupied zone secure loans from the banks of Paris.

STIFF DRILLING FOR COLBY’S CANDIDATES OF FOOTBALL SQUAD Waterville, Me.. Sept. 19.—(Special). —The football practice at the collet* Saturday was the stlfteat session yslt held. The number of candidates were increased materially and they were sriven an exceptionally long drill. Af ter a hard session of going down un der and catching the forward pass, the elevens were sent through over an hour of fast signal practice coupled with sessions of falling on the ball, and talks by the coach. During this time the men were frequently changed about and several combinations were tried on each team. The men were constantly driven to get all the speed possible into the play. After the sig nal drill a session with the tackling dummy closed an exceptionally hard afternoon of practice. Captain Stan wood was again at fullback on the first team and he did splendid work there. The punting was divided be tween Stanwood and Shuster and both of them did well, although Stanwood’s kicks carried further. Burton, who has been the substitute center for a couple of years, played at the position all during the afternoon and carried himself well. Stinson, the big Coburn man, was In at tackle for the greatef part of the afternoon and created a good impression by the way he hand led himself. Among the new arrivals to the team was Merrill, who played last year at end and halfback. He seemed in fair condition and was able to keep agoing all through the prac tice. A number of last year's men, in cluding Cawley and Dacey, are ex pected to be out In suits on Monday j and the real hard work for the Har- i vard game will begin. COBURN’S SQUAD IS INCREASED IN NUMBER Football practice at Coburn on Sat urday consisted of a long and hard drill by a fairly large squad. A num ber of new men are expected to enter the school Monday morning, some of whom have had football experience and it is the plan of the coach to be gin work in earnest with the practice of Monday afternoon. The work*Sat urday was chiefly with fundamentals and will do much to get the men who are unfamiliar with the game in line with those who have played for some* time. COACH FRAZER GIVES W. H. S. HARD PRACTICE Coach Fraser gave his charges at the High school a long and fast %ea-. sion Saturday afternoon and some good work was done. The coach ig" feeling that he is going to have a fast team, even if it is light and he hopes to make a good showing. The boyi are well pleased with the .way they are being taught the game and all are orking to the best of their ability to make the team the best one that it is possible to produce with the mate rial. MAINE JOTTINGS The grand jury completed its work for this term of the Supreme court at Farmington on Thursday and were ex cused. Twenty-nine indictments were brought in.

Publishers, Augusta. Maine. Monday, September 20, 1915. Thift, industry and patience are Etill the staples of human progress, and the peculiarity about them is this, that, while they may belong separately to individuals or races, they are counted as part of the com mon capital because while they make no man's life poor er they make the whole world richer.—Booker T. Washing ton. Cr. Aley's Personal Advice. In an address to the student body Thursday. President Robert J. Aley of the University of Maine, pointed out the problems of university life, and urged that the great opportunities it offers should be grasped by all. He also offered the new students his per sonal advice in part as follows: Master by hard work the les sons in the various courses you pursue. Avoid all forms of dissipation. Cultivate and practice the graces of refined people. Young men. see to it that your rttitude toward women remains that of brother to sister or son to mother. Young women, see to it that you cultivate only those graces that prompts in the men of your ac quaintance the highest and best forms of gallantry. Have a need measure of whole some and sane recreation. If the young men and women of American colleges would keep these maxims always before them and earnestly endeavor to live up to them, what a marvelous progress the next generation would show! But how many really heard what President Aley was saying or deemed this fath erly personal appeal as more than a few kind words offered to every class and not expected to be taken seri ously? Far too many of our youth mistake the splendid opportunities of today as an extension of play time in which they are to ha', e leisure to perfect themselves in attractive, words and bearing for the opposite sex, while awaiting the "soft snap” that the prestige of "college man” or “college woman” is to land for them. Good advice makes no impression upon them because that is meant only for others and they will not need it. How many young college men have the same respect for the purity ol other girls that they would maintain for their sisters? How many young women are careful to cultivate only those graces that command the entire respect of other young women's brothers? If every college man were imbued with the personal desire to preserve the purity and full self respect of every young woman of his acquaint ance, and every college woman re fuse^ to associate with or recognize a man whose attitude was ever dis respectful toward woman, what a blessed moral advance would be made for the next generation! We are optimistic enough to believe that these things are true in larger de gree than ever before, and we also find proof that the horrors of war and the awakening to the prevalence of other evils which are gnawing at the vitals of civilization, have caused a period of deeper thinking, a recogni tion of the sure results of the un halted tendency, a desire for better conditions now and for vastly bettir aims and desires for our children. Let other college men and women and the youth of our fitting schools as well, study well the meaning of Dr Aley and remember his words of guidance. The degree of actual liv ing up to those precepts will largely determine the degree of their worth while success. Out of the Shame of China. "The Day of National Shame!” That is the way the Chinese have named May seventh. 1915. when great China bowed her submission to tiny Japan. Tou remember the details—how young Japan sent an ultimatum to China, Mother of the East. It was to be answered on or before May seventh. China looked at her re sources; she had no fit army, no wealth, no strong industries, no edu cation, none of the things with which resistance could be made. Hu miliated and helpless, she accepted the ultimatum. After the day of acceptance. China was bowed to the dust. ‘‘Self-Con scious Disgrace Societies" were or ganized here and there throughout China. Prominent Chinese agreed to get the custom of lowering the rain dow flag of the Republic each year on "The Day of National Shame." Millions upon millions of placards and circulars, printed by all sorts of aew-born patriotic agencies and scat tered gratis throughout China, have aeen and are now drilling this slogan Jito the minds of the Chinese; “Do not forget our country's shame 'f May seventh!" Out of the shame of China has rls

en a flaming patriotism. It is a na tionalism the like of which China has never known before. There are flv« races in China, and edch has former ly thought along its own peculiar tan gent. Today the thinking of all of them is focused, like the rays of the sun through a burning glass, on three main objectives. All China i6 now striving, first, for a real army and navy so that China may be able to resist foreign aggres jsion; second, for the development of native industries, so that China may i not be dependent upon foreign goods; third, for universal education so that Chinese wits may not be outclassed j by foreign wits. j Out of her disgrace China is enter ing upon the most vigorous national and industrial career she has ever known. Shame did it.—Willard Price in World Outlook. An Enterprising Faraway Neighbor. Late issues just received of one ol the Journal's exchanges, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, beginning with that ol

Aug. 31, contain some fine illustra tions of the ill-fated submarine F-4 which was sunk about five months ago in Honolulu harbor and which has just been raised. They consist of dif ferent views of the craft, surrounded by the immense pontoons by which she was raised, all lying in the gigan tic floating dock. The craft is on he! I side, almost upside down and shows 1 but little trace of the tragedy through which she had passed, with the loss of every soul on board. The Star Bulletin also from day to day con tained graphic accounts of the worh of penetrating to the interior of th* P-4 and the recovery of the remains 1 of her crew.

AIDS TO DIGESTION Whatever improves bodily condi tions in general aids digestion. Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air, baths and good habits make your di gestion better able to take care of any burdens you impose upon it. But the greatest aid to good digestion is good blood. Anemia, or thin blood, is a common cause of indigestion. Nor mal action of the stomach is impossi ble without healthy, well-oxidized blood. Dyspepsia which does not yield to ordinary treatment may be quickly corrected when the blood is enriched. Many people have secured relief from chronic forms of indigestion by the ues of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills which make the blood rich and red, capable of carrying an increased amount of oxygen, the great supporter of human life.

The other case of the State vs. Al 1 phonse Poulin, in which the respondent had entered a plea of nolo contendere, was placed on file. State vs. Henry Mayo In the case of the State vs. Henry Mayo for illegal possession the respon I dent withdrew the plea of not guilty and entered the plea of guilty. The case was i pul on file on the payment of costs of $25. State v*. W. A. Hunter The case of the State vs. W. A. Hunter of Clinton for concealing mortgaged property was nol prossed. State vs. Bert Starkey Attorney John E. Nelson of Augusta appeared for the respondent in the case of the State vs. Bert Starkey of China, j charged with perjury. In opening the case County Attorney I W. H. Fisher stated that the respondent was charged with perjury before the grand jury of Kennebec county on Sept. II last, when that jury wns considering the matter against Frank Morse of Chi na, who was charged with maintaining a common nuisance. The question whs whether or not Mr. Morse was selling cider in China, and Starkey was called as a witness before the grand jury and sworn to tell the truth. It was alleged that when Starkey was asked whether J or not he had been drinking cider on the day previous, he admitted that he had been. When asked where he got it lie said: "I got it from some fellows in Palermo.” He was pressed hard by questions and he at last admitted the truth, changing his former statement, and saying that lie got the cider from his uncle in China, that his uncle had it in a jug and they drank it together. And later when question he admitted that in making his prior statement he had committed the perjury. Coun ty Attorney Fisher stated that he did not think it would he necessary to prove the exact words that Starkey used as no stenographer is allowed in the grand jury session; it would be necessary to prove only their mean ing. Grand Jurymen Testify Three members of the grand jury, William T. Mace of P.eadtieid. Lincoln O. Hanseom of Waterville and Amos H. Church of Augusta, testified for the State. Mr. Hanseom testified that Starkey had stated first that h“ got the cider from some fellows in Palermo and la ter had stated that he got it from his uncle and his former statement was false. Mr. Hanscnmb thought that the respondent had stateq that his uncle lived in China. Starkey and his uncle had started out from China to Paler mo in the morning of the day refer red to. when Starkey drank the cider Mr. Mace testified that Starkey had stated when questioned that he got the cider from some fellows in Paler mo and that later he said he got it of his uncle. The witness thought that Starkey had stated that his uncle lived in China. Starkey had said that he and his uncle went to Palermo and his uncle took the cider with them. And later Starkey had said that his former statement was untrue. Mr. Church testified that Starkey said fellows in Palermo gave him fit3 cider and later had said that the statement was a lie. Defense Opens In opening the defense Attorney Nelson stated that Starkey, the re spondent, lived in China, had been stationed there for a number of years and had no faults except that at times he drank some hard cider. Frank Morse was not a particular friend of Starkey's and the respondent had ■every reason to tell the truth before 1 the grand jury. According to Attorney Nelson the respondent had said about the cider that some fellows had treat i ed in Palermo and later had said that his uncle gave it to him, that his un cle took it along to Palermo in a jug. And the defense claimed that there was no statement there that was wilfully false and that the re 1 spondent was somewhat confused be fore the grand Jury. Respondent Testifies Bert Starkey, the respondent, testi fied that lie had held the position of station agent at China for 13 years. Before the Grand Jury he had said that he was over in Palermo and some fellows treated him and later he had said that his uncle gave it to him; i that his uncle took a jug with him from China. Upon cross-examination by County Attorney Fisher, Starkey i stated that he did not think, when he I was asked before the Grand Jury i where he got the cider, that he was I obliged to answer; he thought that it j was not material in the case. Prominent Citizen* Testify j The witnesses for the defense were I four prominent citizens of China, Wil lis VV. Washburn, the town clerk; Or rin S. Brown, one of the selectmen; Willis R. Ward and Theron E. Doe. Their testimony showed that Starkey has a good reputation in China for truth and veracity; the witnesses had never heard his reputation questioned. The attorneys made their pleas to the jury. Judge Beane delivered the j charge and the Jury retired at 12 o'clock to decide upon the case. The j jurors returned at 12.12 P. M. with their verdict, not guilty. Today’s Docket The following cases will be in order for trial today. State vs. Irving Lint. State vs. George W. Norton. State vs. R. A. Carter.

POTATO NOTES T'ort Fairfield Review: Potatoes are coming into Fort Fairfield village nowadays at the rate of from tax) to 1000 barrels, which is as fast as the buyers want them. The standard price is 80 cents. Of course the pota toes coming are nearly all Cobblers, which appear to be of fine quality, little or no rot being in evidence. Digging has hardly yet begun In real earnest, although a good many have begun. What is the yield of potatoes in Aroostook? Some say that the fields of the Aroostook valley will average nearly 80 barrels to the acre. Some say they will go between 40 and 60 barrels. There are very few excellent yields, while many fields are extremely poor, some of them so poor as hardly to pay for digging. One man in Presque Isle plowed up 20 acres of potatoes a little while ago. seeing they would not be worth harvesting. One thing is certain— the drop in the yield of Aroostook potatoes from last year will be simply astonishing. Review: What are wages to be for potato-,digging? Many men are now in town waiting for digging, but they will all be quickly absorbed when the harvest gets under way. As nearly as can be learned, $2.00 a day is a fairly good price right now, although a little later the standard pay may be from $2.00 to $2J>0 a day. The pay for picking by the barrel is five cents. Board is furnished free in all cases unless otherwise specified. West Rockport: We have been in formed that Ernest Tolman planted last spring 45 bushels of potatoes using some two hundred dollars worth of fertilizer and that as a result of the late rains they are not worth digging. For some years past Mr. Tolman has been one of our most successful farmers In the line of potato raising. We do not remember of but one in stance of a total failure in a potato crop and that is some 70 years ago when this pest first put in its appear ance and we was a boy on the home farm, when no potatoes were dug. There will be but few potatoes housed in this section during the present fail and the same is true of the bean crop.

Lancaster of the Augus ta municipal court had a busy day on Saturday with trials, hearings, ad vise cases and interviews with peo ple who had business of more or less importance, but all of which took up time.

He plead ed not guilty, but after the introduc tion of the evidence was bound over in the sum of llOOfi for appearance at the January term of the superior court and was committed.

Ltragon wouldn't let her in; ordered her away and threatened: "If you comp in here I'll kill you." Saw sme blood on the floor. Dragon poured water on it and wiped it up. He said; "The dog did it.” She called the neighbors and Mrs. Thebarge took Lillian in her arms and asked Dragon what the matter was. Dragon said; "I didn't do it." Mrs Mary Thebarge said she saw blood on the floor, and on the child's legs and clothing The mother then arrived and a doctor and an officer were tele phored for. Dr .1 W. Lndcureur testified to the condition in which r.e found the child. Including the presence of blood on body, limbs and clothes and lacerations, r.i h he described in detail.

CRY FOR ASSISTANCE EMPTIED COURT ROOM The City Building officials have de cided they have found a sure cure for crowded conditions of any room at any time in the building. The court room and the corridor leading thereto was packed Saturday morning during the Dragon hearing, and the conditions with the intense heat of the day were becoming almost un bearable in the law. close rooms Relief came in an unexpected man ner and with the cry: "Come on, help, a boy is drowning.” That start ed the crowd and in almost the twin kling of an eye. the court room and corridor was empty of all except those connected directly with the case in hand. It was learned that a boy, one of a party who were in swimming below the city bridge, had gone out beyond his depth and was in some difficulty. One of his companions, too far away from him to be of assistance, called to someone on the bridge for help and that party ran to the City build ing for it. Then the crowd responded nobly to the call and rushed to the bridge. They found everything quiet and peaceful, because in the meantime an other party had gone to the assist ance of the lad in difficulty in the water and had taken him to a place of safety. No one could be found even who knew his name. But the court room was cleared in record time. AMUSEMENTS COLONIAL THEATRE. Mat. 2.30, Tonight, First Show at 6.30, Second at 8.15 P.

SENATOR LODGE SHOWS THE APPARENT INTENT OF THE DEMOCRATS IN INCOME TAX Declares North Suffers for Gain of South—New England States and Three Other Northern States Pay Nearly 75 Per Cent, of Tax Lynnfield, Sept. 19.—Citing the in come tax adopted by the Wilson ad ministration as a specific example of the inability of the Democratic party to enact legislation which will impose an equitable and even taxation throughout the country and not im pose unjust burdens upon the New England and Northern states, Senator Lodge Saturday at an outing of Lynn Republicans vigorously attacked the policies of the Wilson administration, ascribed to the Democratic leaders the responsibility for the general business depression which has prevailed and predicted that the end of the European war would raise such havoc with American industries that conditions would be much worse than have been recorded. “From the figures available for 1914." the senator said. “Massachusetts paid into the national treasury, because of the income tax adopted by the Wilson administration $3,000,000. A further ex amination of the records provides the very satisfactory information that the state of Mississippi paid $105,000. A very creditable record in comparison with the $3,000,000 paid by Massachu setts. “This one illustration shows what the Democratic system is. It is to take from New England and the Northern states the protection of their indus tries and to spend the money derived from the North in the states in the South and in the east of South." Paid by the North "In ail the income tax brought $60,000, 000 to the nation. Of this sum $!n,000,000 was paid by the nine states in New Eng land and in the North, and if we add Ohio, Minnesota and Missouri, the record is that these 12 states paid $43,000,000, or 75 per cent, of the income tax paid by 48 states. "This gives us an idea of the purposes of the gentlemen who impose these taxes and an idea of who pays them. This $3,000,0(0 from Massachusetts was taken from money which would either have been spent or invested in this state, and the loss falls upon the entire com munity.” "The revenue of the government raised by the Republican party fell with even ness on all parts of the country, but this cannot be said- of the Democrats. "Before the last national election they predicted that if they had the chance they would reduce Republican expendi tures. They were given the chance and the result has been the largest congres sional appropriation in the history of the nation. That is how they kept this promise. “Since the war began and our exports have been immense, revenues have fallen off because the war has acted as a pro hibitory tariff in very many directions. "The Democrats also predicted that by a reduction of the tariff they would re duce the cost of living. That was false and they know it. Perhaps that attrib utes to them a greater rapidity of intel lectual operation than they possess." "Conditions in business have been hid den by the veil of the war in Europe. Permanent conditions of business as be fore the war remain underneath and the conditions which the war has produce i i will pass away.” RECOGNITION OF CARRANZA QUITE PROBABLE WITH DECLINE OF VILLA POWER AND AUTHORITY IN MEXICO Decision of Pan American Conf erees Reached in Washington on Saturday and Statement of Policy Shows Carranza Logical Recipient of Recognition—Definite Judgment on the Situation May Come at Meeting in Three Weeks New York, Sept. 19.—The Pan-Amer ican conference on Mexican affairs an nounced at the conclusion of its, meeting Saturday that each of the dip lomatic representatives would recom mend to their government that in their judgment the time has now come to extend recognition to a government in Mexico. Sec. Lansing announced that the question of recognition would be fur ther considered at a meeting of the Pan-American diplomats to be held in Washington three weeks from aSt urday. At this meeting, it is under stood, the decision as to what govern ment to recognize in Mexico will be made. Unless the military situation in Mex ico takes a decided turn within the next three weeks in favor of eGn. Vil la, who has concentrated his forces for battle with Gen. Obregon, the Uar ranza commander-in-chief, at Torre on, most of the conferees were of the opinion that the Carranza government logically be entitled to recognition. After declaring that the rir facto government aspiring to recognition must possess "the material and moral capacity necessary to protect the lives of Nationals and foreigners," the con ference announced in a statement that each of the participating governments ‘‘shall itself judge such capacity and recognition will likewise be extended by each government separately at such time as it may deem proper.” Text of Statement The statement issued by the conference follows: “The conference held in New York on the 11th of August, in addition to decid ing upon the transmission of the tele gram addressed to the persons constitut ed in authority in Mexico inviting them to cease the struggle by the organiza tion of a de facto government by com mon agreement among them, resolved to recommend to the governments repre- sented at it ‘the recognition without fur ther analysis of the government arising out of such agreement, provided it guar anteed the lives and property of nation- i als and foreigners' and in the event of such agreement not being possible ‘the recognition of any provisional govern ment with the material and moral capac ity necessary to protect the lives and property of nationals and foreigners.’ “In pursuance of this solution and the Impossibility of recognizing a government of all factions, owing to the lack of such agreement, the diplomatic representatives resolved at the last conference to com municate to their respective governments that, in their judgment, the time has now come to carry out the policy agreed on at the conference of the 11th in case of the impossibility of recognizing a de facto government springing from a com mon agreement of all the factions. No Interference Contemplated “Therefore, the de facto govern ment, aspiring to recognition, must possess, should this policy be approv ed by al lthe governments, the mate rial and moral capacity necessary to protect the lives and property of Na tionals and foreigners. Each govern ment shall itself judge such capacity and recognition will likewise be ex tended by each government separately at such time as it may deem proper. “Recognition will naturally entail as i a result the appointment of diplomatic representatives accredited to the head of the government recognized. “The American diplomatic represent atives hold that In adopting this res olution and in considering the situa tion of 'Mexico at previous conferences, as wel as in addressing to the ^persons constituted in authority in Mexico the circular of Aug. 15 last, they merely exercised in the most judicial manner possible the indisputable international right of taking the preliminary steps toward the recognition of a de facto government in case of civil war, vest ed in all governments, without thereby interfering either directly or indirect ly in the internal affairs of Mexico, an interference which has not at any mo ment been contemplated. "It has always been the sense of the conference that the pacification of Mexico..is a question to be exclusively decided by the Mexicans themselves, and it trusts that a government recog nixed by all the governments of the world will be able to attain that re sult and secure the welfare of the sis ter countries." REPORT TORREON NEARLY CLEARED OF VILLA CONTROL El Paso, Tex., Sept. 10.—Reports that the evacuation of Torreon was practically completed Friday and that Gen. Villa is now at Chihuahua with most of his army were brought to the border by foreigners arriving Satur day. Gen. Villa's family was said to have joined the flight from Torreon. It was said 13 troop trains had reached Chihuahua, bringing all the artillery, horses, camp equipment and what is left of the Villa Army, to gether with the household goods of the officers and their families. Reports among the refugees here in dicate there is a well-defined plan among the military leaders to wage guerilla warfare against the Carranza forces from Chihuahua City. The arrival at Juarez of a cattle car loaded with silver bullion revived rumors that Villa was preparing to ship to the border some of the loot secured from Gen. Thomas Urbina, whom Villa executed two weeks ago. Villa officials, however, denied that the car contained any of the Urbina loot. TWO VERSIONS OF FIGHTING NEAR BROWNSVILLE, TEX. Washington, Sept. 19.—Col. Block som, commanding the border patrol on the scene of Friday's firing near Brownsville, Tex., reported to the War department Saturday, saying: “It was evident that the attack was made by Carranza soldiers and that their commander endeavored to make it appear that our soldiers fired first.” The Carranza version of the affray as given in dispatches to the agency here is that the Mexicans were fired upon by American troopers and that the Mexicans did not return the fire. The agency announced that Eliseo Arredondo, the Carranza agent, would ask the State Department to investi gate and take steps to prevent Ameri can troopers from firing across the border.

IS.—The case of the steamer Arabia, which arose during the Russu-Japanese war, will be called to the attention of the state department In con* nection with the seizure of meat cargoes by the British prize court, according to C. J. Faulkner, Jr., of counsel for Ar mour Co. Mr. Faulkner and Harry Veerler, counsel for Swift Co., expect to leave Chicago for Washington Monday to enlist the tasslstance of the govern ment in the case. "In the case of the Arabia," said Mr. Faulkner Saturday, “A Russian prize court condemned a cargo which had been j consigned to Japan. The court was ani- mated by much the same reason as the British court in the present case, name ly, that the shipper should prove that the 1 consignment was destined to an Innocent purchaser. "John Hay, then secretary of state, telegraphed to Robert S. McCormick, then ambassador to Russia, refusing to recognize the decision. Mr. Hay said' "This substantive principle of law cannot he overridden by technical rule of the prize court that the owners of the captured cargo must prove that no part of it may eventually come to the hands of the enemy’s forces. The proof Is of an impossible nature, and it cannot be admitted that the absence of proof in its nature impossible can justify the seizure and continuation.’ This principle," continued Mr. Faulkner, "as laid down by Mr. Hay was later accepted by the Russian gov ernment." Mr. Yeeder explained that the cnus ually heavy shipments to neutral coun tries after war was declared was due to the fact that Germany raked these countries drv of foodstuffs and the neutrals had to replenish. Cargoes held at Rotterdam by the British embargo, valued at many mil lions of dollars, are expected to be again called to the attention off the Washington government. According to W. F. Clrich, vice presi dent of the Importers’ Forwarding Co., Chicago, cargoes valued at approximately fl2,Of«"i consigned to Chicago alone are held up at Rotterdam. "That will give an idea of the value of the shipment destined to other cities as well as Chicago and held up In this high handed way," said Mr. Ulrich. "Tha shipments were purchased in good faith at a neutral port, but the ships dare not move for fear of confiscation. I have conferred with the packers and so far as possible we will join issues.” "Next Monday afternoon the executive committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce will consider reports on the situation and determine what action shall be taken for importers as well as the packers. We expect thtit the associa tion will lay the whole catter before the state department without delay.” RUSSIANS CONFIDENT (Continued from Page 1) have seen reinforcements from that point to Field Marshal von liinderburg's north ern army which, as heretofore, is ex pected to score the biggest success. Both the Germans and the French claim minor victories on the western front, but neither there, in the Italian theatre, nor in the Dardanelles have any events of great moment been reported. In the Balkans The political situation in the Balkans is still shrouded with considerable mys tery. The Bulgarians, having secured what they wanted from Turkey in the cession of a railway line, appear to be well satisfied for the present. But there is now talk in Berlin of the Bulgarians taking by force, if they cannot get it otherwise, the portions of Macedonia taken away from them by the Serbians and Greeks during the last Balkan war. It is asserted that the Bulgarians have called to the colors all the Macedonian recruits now in Bulgaria and that gen erally a warlike feeling exists among the Bulgarians. Bulgaria’s Danger With Bulgaria surrounded by Serbia, Greece and Rumania, and her coasts open to attack by Anglo-French. Italian and Russian fleets, however, it is believ ed here that Bulgaria will hesitate before throwing in her lot with the Centra! Powers and Turkey. Turkey is declared to be having her own troubles over the cession of the Dedeaghatch railway. The Mussulman population in this strip of land is said to be in revolt against being placed un der the Bulgarian government. SCHOONER YACHT KATGURA WINS 264 MILE OCEAN RACE Xew York, Sept. 19.—The schooner yacht Katoura today won the 264 mile race to Breton reef light and re turn by crossing the finish line more than 20 minutes ahead of the schooner yacht Atlantic. The race was for the Brenton Reef cup. The Katoura last week won the Cape May challenge cup in a race with the Atlantic. The two schooners started yester day off Ambrose channel lightship— the Katoura at 11.01.15 and Atlantic at 11.02.45. The Katoura led from the start. The schooners finished this aft ernoon as follows: Katoura 2:45:37; Atlantic 3:10:30. Gay Holmes of Belfast, former Bel fast High and University of Maine athlete, had a narrow escape from death Friday, his life no doubt being saved by his athletic training. He is employed on the State highway con struction work in Waldo. A tall tree was being removed from the highway and was still standing after several blasts of dynamite. Holmes climbed the tree to attach a tackle, and was nearly 60 feet from the ground when the tree fell. Holmes would have been crushd beneath the trunk had he not by a great effort managed to get onto the upper side as the tree went down. He was unconscious when picked up and remained so for some time from the shoefc and Jar, but no bones were broken. He was also cut and bxu^aed. ^_^ JOINT INQUIRY OF BULGARIA AS TO STAND Paris, Sept. 19.—'The Entente Allies! have presented a joint note to the Bul garian government asking in effect that it declare itself as between them and the i central powers. The note, however, is not in the nature of an ultimatum. Test of Good Faith The note, which was delivered to the government at Sofia two days ago, was sent in pursuance of a decision by the allied powers to test the good faith of Bulgaria by submitting the recent con cessions made by Serbia with the view of securing from Bulgaria a definite statement as to her position. Although the note does not ffx a date for a reply and is not an ultimatum, dip lomats familiar with its contents say it is of a nature requiring Bulgaria to I take a definite stand. It points out that j the allied powers ate now prepared to offer the Serbian concession on Bulgaria's claims to disputed territory, and asks Bulgaria if the concessions secured j through the joint offices of the Allies will bring about Bulgaria’s co-operation with the other Balkan states. What, if any, reference is made to Greece is not disclosed; but it ap pears to be considered that Serbia's concession should suffice to secure Bul garia's adherence to the Balkan union. While exact limits of the Macedonian territory which Serbia concedes are ont known, the concession is believed to cover all the territory east of the Vardar river, with a possible neutral zone west of the river. Such a conces sion would give Bulgaria territory along her western frontier and would leave Serbia an opportunity to expand northward and westward the territory now controlled by Austria. Regarding the agreement between Turkey and Bulgaria for the Turkish railway concession, the understanding here is that the arrangement had been made, but that the date for the trans-j fer has not yet been definitely fixed. It was first announced that the trans- j fer would taxe place tomorrow, but j this was later changed to Sept. :!6. and afterward was reported to have been postponed to Oct. 6. All announcements of dates for the transfer are considered premature and, a likely cause of irirtation at a time when the negotiations have reached a delicate stage. IMPORTANT MEETING KENNEBEC VALLEY H.S. A. A. HELD SATURDAY Waterville, Mp., Sept. 9.—TSpeeial). —A meeting of athletic instructors and managers of the Kennebec valley High schools was held at the Railroad Y. M. C. A. building Saturday for the object of talking over and formulat ing plans for the. formation of a league for football, baseball and track. Although it seems doubtful that the league will get to going in time to have a football series this fall, the baseball series for next spring and the track meet are now practically as sured. All of the schools except Oar diner and Skowhegan were represent ed and the delegates were nthusiastic over the plan. The teams from each of the schools would play with each ether school and it is probable that arrangements could be made for the awarding of a suitable cup for the winner in each of the contests. The further development of the plan was i left in the hands of President Al- len and Secretary I'raser of the as sociation. U-BOATS WILL RESPECT LAW GF SEA, SAYS JAGOW Berlin, Sept. 19.—(Via London).—The German government will give its careful consideration to the evidence concerning the circumstances which attended the sinking of the steamship Arabic, submit ted by the American government through Ambassador Gerard. Gottlieb Von Ja gow, the foreign minister, made a state ment to this effect in an Interview Fri day night with the Associated rress. The minister said Germany could not well repudiate the report of the comman- der of the submarine which sank the Arabic, nevertheless there was room for a difference of opinion and Germany would examine carefully the evidence from Washington. He repeated the as surance that enemy passenger steamers which respected the maritime code would not be attacked without warning, saying explicit directions had been given the i submarine commanders. He said the j whole German government stood behind this policy. BULGARIA (Continued from Page 1) cheered continuously. All the Macedo nians coming from the territory occupied by Greece and Serbia who answered the call displayed remarkable enthusiasm. "The answer to the call from all over the country surpassed expectations, the number of men presenting themselves at the different depots being much greater than had been hoped for. chiefly because of the great influx of the refugees.”

Oct. 4-7, imme diately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment. The con ference on national defense, to be held under auspices of the National De fense League, and in which the Xavv League, National Rifle Association and atfiliated defense organizations will participate, promises to be as large a gathering as the G. A. R- encampment. Thousands of the Grand Army veter ans have written to the National De fense League that they will remain in Washington after the encampment to attend the conference on national de fense. Announcement was made today of the appointment by Representative Ju lius Kahn of California, chairman of the National Defense League, of a citizens' committee of prominent Washingtonians who will have charge of local arrangements for the confer ence. The press committee of the con ference, announced yesterday by Chair man Frank R. Lord, president of the National Press Club, includes practi cally the whole membership of the congressional press gallery and all of the leading newspapermen of the na tional capital. The speakers' program, now being completed, will include the most prominent men in the country, and will be announced in a few days. The conference on national defense, which will be the first national gath ering ever held in the 1'nited States to consider the problem of defenses for the nation, will, it is expected, have an important bearing on the ac tion to be taken by Congress at the next session regarding increases in the navy, army, coast defenses and National Guard. Kverv phase of the national defense is to be considered at the conference. Letters have just been sent out by the National Defense League to 1000 mayors of cities throughout the coun try, asking these officials to head delegations from their cities to the conference, and thousands of individ ual invitations have been sent out by the National Defense League, the Navy League and the National Rifle Association to their members and citizens generally, to attend the con ference. Any citizen of the 1'nited States, it was announced today at the National Defense League offices, is cordially in vited to attend the conference, with out any other invitation. Those who wish to participate in the conference [ire asked to send their names and ad dresses to the National Defense League. Rigas building. Washington. D.

If for any reason I fail, it will be a sorry comfort to be aide later on to taunt with their mistakes those who now abuse me for daring to call attention to the coming storm be fore it overwhelms the land, and because I strive to induce my fellow countrymen to prtpare in time for its onslaught.*1 DUMBA’S LETTER (Continued from Page 1) the American newspaper correspond ent in London.

Jennings Bryan Boston, Mass., Sept. 19.—Ex-Gover nor Foss, in a letter written Friday to Secretary of State Lansing, makes the charge that the fight of liquor in terests against prohibition, the sec tarian issue propoganda and the al leged nation-wide conspiracy to create labor troubles and break up th© ex portation of arms and munitions to the enemies of the Teutonic allies, are all part of one and the same move- J ment "to stamp.ede the government of the United States and to take the af fairs of the country out of the hands Iff the national administration at I Washington." Hints More Revelations Mr. Foss intimated Friday night that this letter and one which pre ceded it. addressed to Secretary Lans ing, are hut the opening chapters of revelations he has to make. In his latest letter. Mr. Foss claims that the anti-prohibition fight and the labor troubles are being managed 'from outside the state. He not only asserts that former Secretary of state Bryan is working with the friends of the Teutonic allies but also thftt he is a backslider on prohibition. He attacks the Trades Union Liber ty League and repeats his charges that attempts were made to bribe him to appoint Dennis D tw prison commissioner in return calling off of a strike at the tones, and he intimates that if _u '"“i U to Governor he will support the^Ct Pry V'S ■'*01 "a dent elected as candidate of then J ocratic party. In one of the most strikin. graphs of his letter Mr. Foss’save is evident to me that the mov to take the determination of th« y of prohibition out of the hands of people of this commonwealth Tuesday is nothing more or w an integral i*,rt of the nternati, movement to take the petver to tect American citizens and Am industries and to determine quesh« of war and peace out of the hart!? the American government at tv ington." Liquor Interests' Camp,jgn Again Mr. Foss writes: “You aide to confirm by investigation, information that comes to tr.e fra> trustworthy source that the advw ing matter of the liquor interest'.' handled by the same persons', managed the camt>aign waged hy friends in America of the-Teutonic lies against the manufacture of rations of war in the United Sti for the allies of the Triple Enti and their exportation to Europe" BIG RUN-TOGETHER OF FIRST DISTRICT REPUBLICANS WITH GUESTS FROM ALL OVER STAI 1 Portland, Me., Sept, IE—The Republi can committee rr.en of the first congres sional district and many prominent Re publicans from outside of the district had a run-together Saturday afternoon to dis- j cuss the outlook for the campaign of Dlfl ar.d incidentally to talk over the sltua- tion so far as Portland is concerned in the coming municipal election. They were the guests for the afternoon of Edgar E. Rounds, who took them on one of his steamboats, the Island Belie, on a sail about the harbor and lower Casco bay. It was a delightful occasion and was thoroughly enjoyed. It was Mr. Rounds’ idea that with so many things to talk over it would be pleasant to fii-t joy a sail instead of attempting to hold a meeting in some hall or other place of assemblage. On the steamboat the com mittee men could get together and talk things over with freedom 10 move about as they chose and at tiie same time en my the scenery of the harbor and bay. Mr. Rounds carried out his idea and it proved to be one of the most agree able and satisfactory political meetings that the Republicans have ever held. The attendance was large, nearly H"’ commit tee men and prominent Republicans be ing present, including many candidates who are now before the public and some prospective candidates for various offices whose candidacies have not yet been an nounced. There were two of the throe candi dates for the Republican nomination for t'nited States senator present. Col. Frederick Hale of Portland and Hon Bert M. Fernald of Poland. >f tho candidates fo- Governor present there wore Hon. Carl E. Milliken of Island Falls. Hon. T. F. Callahan of Lewis ton and Hon. E. \Y. Wheeler of Bruns wick. Hon. Horace Mitchell of Kit tery, who is the only avowed candi date now in the field for the nomina tion for congressman from this dis trict was present together with sev eral men whose names have been men tioned as prospective candidates for this nomination, hut who have not yet made public the fact that they in tend to enter the race. In addition to these candidates there were others who seek nominations to State or county offices and all of these found the sail !about the harbor and bay none too j long but a very excellent opportunity to meet men from all parts of this I district to talk things over.
