N. Osborn, Granville D. Perkins and E. T. Goodrich. The principal item of business transacted was their decision not to accept the Old Patterson Toll Bridge at North Anson for Somerset County. A hear-' I ing was held at the Court House on Friday, January 18, at which Hon. Fred W. Bunker, Frank H. Holley, Tilson D. Salley, Willis Emery and other North Anson residents favoring the move were heard, the proprietors of the bridge having previously sub mitted to the County Commissioners, an offer to surrender the bridge, free of cost or incumbrance to the County Commissioners for the county to there after be the property of the County and to be maintained at the county's expense. The Legislature had agreed upon an appropriation of J5000 on condition Somerset County take over the bridge. The Commissioners declined to ac cept the offer because of the following reasons: 1 Because public interest and con venijnce would not be promoted by its acceptance. 2.—Because its acceptance would place upon the County of Somerset the burden of ever maintaining -^uch l ridge at its own expense, which in the opinion of the Commissioners is a burden, not justified by the benefits to be derived from a bridge at the point where Patterson Toll Bridge is now lo- J cated. 3.—Because the appropriation of $5000 made by the legislature was on condition that the county of Bomorset accept the offer of the proprietors of Anson and Madison Bridge to take over tlie l’atterson Toll Bridge. Such appropriation is not sufficient fn the opinion of the commissioners t« jpake the temporary repairs necessary to render the present bridge safe for! travel. Such repairs if made ♦mild I only postpone for a few years at*most, the building of a new bridge to replace the present structure. 4—Because the County of Somerset has no funds available to defray the expense of repairs necessary to make the present structure safe for travel j and the legislature has provided" no means whereby sueli funds can legally become available. Routine business occupied tlie re mainder of the March session, various matters being brought to the atten tion of the board. Tlie annual report I of the County treasurer John II. Ran 1 raster was submitted. This showed that at the beginning of February, there was on hand, subject to order, the sum of $23,747.29.

These and other receipts bring the total amounts up to $29, 072.99. During the month there lias been paid cut in salaries for county officers and clerks, the sum of $942.13; for jail repairs, $99.35; Court House .repairs, $liS.41: jail provisions, $63.89; land damages, $50; investigating crimes, $8!*: County Commissioners Court. $713.15 and these figures, with other incidental expenses bring tlie en tire amounts paid out for the month, up to $2892 03, which leaves a balance, March 1, of $26,180.96.

Charge Goldsoll Embezzled Millions from French Gov’t Washington, March 6 —Charged with the embezzlement of several million dollars from the French government in dealings with American motor truck manufacturers, Frank J. Goldsoll, wealthy retired French soldier, js held in jail hero tonight awaiting extradi tion proceedings, which will begin March 2". Commissions on War Contracts Goldsoll is accused by the French embassy of having appropriated to h:s own use huge commissions on war con tracts which he was sent to the United States to execute for his government. Preliminary arrangements for his re lease? In the custody of a marshal were held up hv order of United States Com missioner Hitt, and Goldsoll was re in,'in tied to Jail. The'prisoner declined to comment oa the case, hut his counsel asserted that Ins arrest was due to political antag onism. The French ministry, they said, looked with disfavor on Goldsoll’s close, affiliation with Albert Homas. former minister of munitions, and that Thom as was the real objective of the pros ecution. Naturalized in France in 1911 Gnldsoll. who is about 4i> years old v.:.i born of Russian-Jewish parents in Cleveland, Ohio, but went to Franee about years ago and was naturalized there in 1911. When war was declared in 1911 he answered the call to the col ors. and served for a year as chauffeur for a staff officer before being retired f.,r physical disability. He came to America in 1916 to place war orders for motor trucks. His counsel admits that he made large profits on the deliveries, teat laims tiiis was permitted and de nied criminal culpability. Mr. Goldsoll” said a statement is sued by his attorneys, “will tight the matter to tlie end." Goldsoll was described as a wealthy tnuu whose business interests represent hundreds of thousands of dollars had j been confiscated in Germany at the be- ginning of the war. “lie has been a large contributor to the charities of this country and of Franc’,"' j said Ids attorney. "We purpose showing that the controlling factor in causing the prosecution of Mr. Goldsoll is political and that a drive is being made at Mr. Albert Thomas, formerly minister of mu nitions, through Mr. Goldsoll. Thomas id a Socialist and his name is always mentioned as being among the possibili ties for the premiership. In attacking Goldsoll, Thomas is besmirched. “Mr. Goldsoll does not deny he was io tetested in certain contracts between au tomobile concerns and the French gov ernment to supply It with trucks. He un dertook the work at the neginning of tne war when the French army was helpless without transport facilities. Through his ingenuity he succeeded in furnishing great guatities of trucks to the war min istry and was thanked by that depart ment for his efficient work. He made a profit on deliveries and it is against that pioflt the present charge is being made.’’ CLAIM CAUSED DROP IN LIBERTY BONDS New York, March G.—Following1 the arrest in Washington today of Frank J. (ioldsoll, the offices of the Alliance Motors Corporation in this city were raided by Alfred H. Becker, a deputy state attorney general. Action was tak en. Mr. Becker said, at the request of Ambassador Jusserand, who asked the attorney general’s office two months ago to investigate Goldsolrs affairs. While Goldsoll is not ar^ officer of the Alliance Motors Corporation, he has admitted that he is one of the princi pal owners, according to Mr. Becker. “The investigation of Goldsolrs af fairs has been underway for the past two months,” said Mr. Becker, “and most of the evidence procured has been forwarded to France. It has been found that Goldsoll has been In re ceipt of commissions ranging from 7 1-2 to 30 per cent, front five differ ent automobile and motor truck com panies. The laws of France forbid the collection of commissions by govern mental officers, when they are engaged in the performance of their duties and this, it is believed, will be the basis of charges Goldsoll \\4ill be compelled to face should he be returned to France.” Mr. Becker said that Goldsoll had some time ago bought $3,000,000 of Liberty bonds and that for the follow ing 20 days he sold $100,000 a day. his sales aggregating $2,000,000. This li quidation, according to Mr. Becker, caused a material recession In the price of the bonds. 17 TUNNELS DUG Looking to Delivery of Interned Germans Order Architect Fort Douglas War Prison Barracks Interned—Alleged Denounced U.

Ct.. who has just returned from France, where he was a Red Cross worker, was in the city Wednesday and called on Mrs. John G. Towne, wife of Major John G. Towne, with whom he was intimately associated for two months while abroad. Mr. Miel said that the boys were very happy and comfortable during the winter and were like one great family. He told of the long evenings in the office when the offi cers and boys would gather about the big fireplace and talk, and no matter what the subject, he said that their talk would invariably drift, back to their homes. They got very close to each other that way, he eaid, and all felt acquainted with th.» home ties and families of the others, even though they had never seen them •nd they were many, many miles away. Especially did_Mr. Mtel emphasize the fact of the splendid, wholesome 11' e$ the boys over there were iivi„ 6 sf‘d there "ere a fine. high-gpim",? h' tht'siastic lot of boys, all Lger and 2' ins to do their part. He told of the kTJ' tiful French village where Majo^T^ ana the hospital corps are stati mZ. n* contained about 2 and 1S 'alley surrou^T^ hills a ,lfU’ wooded W118. A river flows 'thZ! vn. tho u*a th* center of the town, the riverT*8 crossed by a quaint stone bridge. buildings are all'of stone and are fronT to 500 years old. 6 Iroai» Major Towne has rooms at the h. of the mayor of the village and i, popular with all the French clthT V/hile at the station waiting for hls Mr Miel was telling Major Towne s cr, Edwin Towne. of his son's l|fe\s “Why. they think lie's the whole tkZ over there. ie He has control over the whole pital, which is one of the largest bT hospitals over there. They’ve got tiT eye on hint and he is sure to get iiZi something big before the war ls 0“ The Germans are very sick of Mr. Miel said, and if it was possitf' for the United States to get the jJ* terial over there, he said he should^ be surprised if the end of the war would come before winter. Mr. Miel also called on Mrs Flor ence M. Wallace to bring her news of her son Stanley, who is a member of the 102nd l S. Field hospital andwh> has been in Major Towne’s office flur lug the winter engaged in clerical work He said tlie boys would have a lot of hard work before they got through, but they were equal to the emergency, ani it would be a wdnderful experience tc them and a great factor In their ft. ture development. Mr. Miel left f,-,r Brunswick Wednesday afternoon where he spoke last evening. He will return to France in April laden with messages of love and cheer for the bop over there.

Bartlett and Frederic E. Boothbay, again be elected to the position ui"" out any opposition.' Also Hanger N.

YOUR COVENANT WITH DEATH SHALL BE ANNULLED AND YOUR AGREEMENT WITH HELL SHALL NOT STAND WHEN THE OVERFLOWING SCOURGE SHALL PASS THRU."—ISAIAH. The "overflowing scourge-’ has passed ever Russia, just ns it has passed u\er Belgium and Serbia. And our covenant with death still stands. Our agreement with hell still hinds and throttles. What is that covenant and that agreement? It is that we will win this war. if we can without disturbing the traffic in beer. We will make tlie most of our labor, except that we will waste some of it in making beer instead of feeding furnaces. We will save our food, except we will rot some of it to do service to Hindcnburg. We will tag our shovels and save coal, except that the millions of bushels used to manufacture poisonous drink may be wasted. Wo could not help the folly and treason of Russia. Hut we might have forestalled it hy winning the war he forr the disaster came. Do not take nm word for it. Listen to Lloyd ledge: “We are fighting Germany, Austria and Drink and the greatest of these deadly foea is drink." Divide our task into three parts and the great est part Is the Drink we must yield to at honm. jf ihe allies had faced dif ficulties only two-thirds as great would not the war have been won be fore Russia dropped out and went under’.’ There is no doubt of dt. Drink, says Lloyd George, is more than a third of our difficulties. The simple truth is that we, the allied forces of civilization,’•have fore s'eri and provided for everything but unfavorable developments in the situa tion. IK Russia had stayed, we would have won. IF this and IK that. Hut if we had put forth our full strength, 1 we would have had a marg:n of power topping any possible adverse develop ment. We have preferred to keep the beer and take a chance. "Possibly.” we i say. "we are so much stronger than j Germany that we can beat her even' with this German millstone, the brew ery, about our necks." Meanwhile, Germany has stopped the brewing of beer. The German assault upon humanity is the first time that Hell has attacked mankind in the mass. Heretofore, evil has besieged the individual souls of men. Now it proposes to transfer headquarters to the earth, establish a capital at Berlin and rule mankind by the laws of Kuitur. Christianity stands for love and mercy, good faith and honesty, justice anil freedom and beauty. Hell stands for hate and lying, for cruelty and treachery, for dishonesty and injustice. So does Ger man!. Through her. Hell proposes to i Justify wrong, make it dominant over right, make it RIGHT. That is the issue. And we palter with it. We gamble with it. We take chances with it. It is no time to talk peace. It is t>ot even the proper time to talk war. We should think war and act war, nothing hut war. without repaid to the extent of effort demanded, with out repaid to sacrifices called for, without repaid to the time needed to achieve victory. And everything should go overboard that hinders the perfection of a human wedge that will smash its way through the Hindenburg line. Can Drink meet! the test? i How Much Do They Waste? The brewery interests and their friends are now attempting to belittle the magnitude of their food and fuel waste, where only a* few years ago they boasted of it as a business of such size and importance that it could never be overthrown by moral forces. The American Issue has recently repro duced a 191? advertisement rtf the Anhetiser Busch brewery. The ad vertisement declares that this brewery (only one of the great breweries of the country) at that time covered HO acres of ground and occupied 110 buildings. The details showing the enormous waste are as follows: Capacitv. *B r. KWIXG CAI ’AC IT V. .2.500.000 BARRELS PER YEAR Malting Capacity. .2,000.000 bushels per year P' ttling Works.1.000.000 bottles daily Grain shortage Elevator. 1.750,001 bushels Stockhouses tfor lageringh.600.000 barrels Steam Power Plant.12.000 horse power Electric Power Plain... .*000 horse power Refrigerator plant.4000 tons per day Ice Plant.1300 tons per Jav •COAi, USED .325 TONS PER DAY Freight.

Can the people of the United States save more than one bushel of grain for every man, woman and child In the land in any other way? Note the "malting capacity” of this one brewery. And all our readers will remember that the brewing interests and the distilling in terests have boasted, up to the last j year, of their constantly increasing 1 trade. That has been a stock argu ment with them as evidence of a do mand that was overwhelming. The people of England would vote two to one for war prohibition if they were allowed to express their opinion on the question. So would the people of the Uryted States, and yet the traf fic continue? WHY? Methodist Temperance Sheet. Is it because our government believes the claim of Samuel (jumpers and oth ers that the "working man’’ will revolt j against the laws of his country if he cannot have "his beer"? Does the gov ernment believe such a libel on "the working man"? Does it mean that the “working man" and nil the rest of us will submitrto any sacrific and remain loyal until it comes to the point of booze? Or, does it mean that this German industry in our country is still power ful enough to defy all the rest of us and dictate to our government? Have these (lerman interests still more power in America than they have in Germany where the war musters have stopped the brewing of beer as a war measure? These are questions for Americans to ask themselves, until they are an swered right. Soldiers Now Get Mail Get us hope those boys who died bravely fighting for their country did not die longing for Just one word front their dear cues at home; that the long held-ttp letters had reached them be fore the battle. Explanation of Ions delays in deliv ery of ma>l to Xew England men in the 26th Division, in France, was given Tuesday by Second Assistant Post master General Otto I’rager to Repre sentative Rogers, who for weeks has been endeavoring to obtain an im provement in the soldiers’ mail service. •Senator Weeks also lias been active in the matte:’. This secrecy, said Mr. I'rager, bad been maintained for •weeks, until live carloads of mail for Xew England soldiers had accumulat ed. He explained that it is now being delivered. Is it any ponder that par ents, wives and friends are receiving letters asking: “Why don't you write?" “Pitiless publicity” seems to have been twisted into pitiless secrecy. A 8TMPHO.YY IN' COI.OP..

March 6.—Rails and steel shared ilie honors of today’s desultory stock market, the former advancing 1 t .1 points on intimations of early federal developments beneficial to transportation system and the latter responding quite substantially to some very favorable ex hibits of earnings. St. Paul common and preferred enjoyed especial prominence for a time, to the accompaniment of rumors indicating divi dend action, and Rock Island featured the lower priced western rails Gross gains in equipments extended from 1 to 2 points. Republic Iron and Cru cible and Lackawanna steels frequently rivalling frilled States Steel in point of activity. The latter closed at :t small fractional loss, others of the same group i ancelling their gains in the final hour on a general reaction in shippings an 1 specialties. Pools were less conspicuous, speculative issues like General Motors. Baldwin Loco motive and Mexican Petroleum holding within comparatively restricted limits and ending at net recessions of 1 10 y points. Sales amounted to 335,00)' shares. Promise of hotter money conditions were fulfilled, call loans ruling at 14 per cent, with an abundance of offerings. LI res were again the only feature of the foreign exchange market, rallying slight ly from recent acute weakness.

This document, which had just come into the hands of the correspondent of The Associated l’ross. asserts that alcohol Is a bad heat-producer whose effects are very fugitive and its consumption may pro duce fatal results to an aviator flying at high altitudes. Other recommendations considered essential to the efficiency of the flying man advise him not to wash ids hands and face nor shave just before a. flight. j On alighting after a voyage through the air the nivator is told to wipe his face and hands first with a dry cloth and then to bathe them several times j alternately, first in cold and then In hot water. The document is extremely detailed in its rftvice as to clothing and general preparation for a flight. It tells the airman to wear woolen or silk under clothing, while his outer garments shoudl he of wool thickly lined with fur or wadding. An aviation suit of bather overalls should cover every thing. None of the clothing should he tight-fitting and if possible a sweater should be worn. As to legs- and feet, which are parts of the body most apt to suffer from cold, the underclothing should be of wool or silk and the airman should wear two pairs of woolen stockings be tween which should be inserted a thickness of paper. Over these should be worn a pair of fur nr camel-hair socks and the whole covered with a pair of large-size leather high boots lined with fur or wadded wool. For the protection of the hands they should be-well rubbed with a protec tive anhydric ointment, over which should be worn large-sized but light woolen or silk gloves and then another pair of leather gloves lined with fur or wadded wool. The face should also he rubbed with the .same protective ointment as used on the hands. A woolen or silken cap covering the head, ears and neck as w«dl as the greater part of the face should first he put on and over this a leather mask lined with silk or one of canvas. Between the two head-cov erinas there should he inserted several thicknesses -4f paper and over every thlncr a thick leather helmet. Ooggles must always he worn and attached to them protectors for the forehead and eheeke. while It Is advisable also to ■wear a thick woolen scarf for the bet ter proteetion of the c^in and throat.

The speeches brought the Home Rulo! question to a head. The British gov- j ernment took serious hold of the prob- lem and a bill was evolved, which on presentation and discussion in the House of Commons resulted in an im passe because of the Ulster opposition. This was shortly before the outbreak of the great war. Squarely with Government With the entrance of England into I the war, Redmond Immediately de- I fined his position as squarely with the government in the earnest prosecution j of the war. His support of the gov-j emment won the unstinted praise of j Cardinal Gibbons and the open and j hitter condemnation of the Sinn Fein party, members of which at a public j meeting accused him of being a trait-1 or to the Irish cause. He maintained his loyal position even during the exciting days of the Sinn Fein revolution, decrying the rebellion, but attributing it to a German plot ting in the United States. When the! rebellion had been put down he used) all the eloquence of which he was ca-| pable in pleading for leniency toward 1 the great mass of the rebels, arm ini urging a speedy settlement of the dif-j ferences that had caused the revolt. His eloquent address In the House j of Commons on Oct. IS, 191t», demand-1 ing Immediate Home Rule and the re-' lease of the Irish revolutionists called forth an answer from Premier Llo;oj George in which the premier admitted J that mistakes had been made in hand-1 ling the Irish situation and urging all. parties to unite in bringing about a solution. j It was not. however, until the fol-: lowing year that the premier proposed! the plan of holding the Irish conven tion which ftedmond accepted and in, which attituae he was generally sun-j ported by his adherents, although still j the object of the enmity of the Sinn; Feiners. John E. Redmond was a brother of' Major William H. K. Redmond, who j was killed while fighting under the; British (lag in France in 1917. Major; Redmond was a member of Parliament j for East Clare. Captain William A. Redmond, son c t j John E., member of Parliament for' East Tyrone, was awarded the Dlstin-j guislied Service Order medal for gal-! lant conduct in the war. i Carson Pays Tribute In paying tribute to the memory of John Redmond in the House of Com mons today Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, said: "Indeed, we were not very far apait in our attempts at settlement of the Irish question.” Tribute were paid Mr. Redmond also l»y Premier Lloyd George, I-ormer Pre mier Asquith and leaders of the labur, Welsh and Scotch parties. Plea for Concord The last words Mr. Redmond said to the Premier, Mr. Lloyd George, said during his remarks, were a plea for Concord between the two races That Providence had decided should work together for the common ends of hu manity.” The tributes were acknowledged by John O'Connor in behalf of the Na tionalists and the members of Mr. Redmond's family.

A BITTER ATTACK ON GEN. CARRANZA Mexico City, Feb. 8.—The Permanent legislative Commission which sits dur ing the adjournment of congress, has ordered the attorney general to inves tigate stories printed by virtually every paper of the capital on February 7, that, following a heated session of the commission, the members of the Con stltutionist Liberal Party had decided to issue a manifesto attacking Presi dent Carranza and the administration and aligning themselves in support of the constitution of 1857 as against that formed last year at yueretaro. Published reports of the meeting of the commission stute that in speeches by the opponents of President, notably by General Garcia Vigil, the thief ex ecutive was accused of abusing t lie ex traordinary powers in financial and other matters that were granted by! him the legislature. The permanent commission contains a majority of the Constitutionalist Lib eral Party, which consistently has op posed the present administration. Their opposition was intensified recently by the ruling of the president that mem bers of the legislature, except the per manent commission, would bo forced to submit, with other government em ployes, to a curtailment of 25 per cent. I of their salaries. The legislators also were denied a large sum they claimed for traveling expenses. Replying to the assertion of the mem bers of the commission that the prime i charge that a manifesto was contemp lated. was false, the papers asserted they iiad proofs to sustain their allega tions. No arrests have been made for what some papers have termed th' "treasonable proceedings" and it is stated that the forces behind the man ifesto are stronger than surface ap pearances indicate.

As to the date of the second draft, i members of ('ongrcss from agriculture i al sections have been practically assur ed that no withdrawal of men from civil life was contemplated which would embarrass harvesting. It bar been indicated, however, that a rela tively small number of men must be called to the colors prior, to June 1 and that process may start in April, when equipment, clothing and quarters will be available. The men are needed to fiil tip to full strength divisions slated for t-atlv departure to Europe and also for field army and corps troops not at tached to divisions. The replacement delaf which the great majority are youn*. lads recently enlisted. "A determined effort has been made both by the department and the com mandant at Mare Island to cause an improvement in the liquor situation at Vallejo, but action of the local author ities and the wishes of the department have been stubbornly opposed by those interested in the continuation of this evil and no remedial result of any sig nificance has beer* realized. As early as last August this matter was a mat ter of grave consideration and under date of September 8, 1917, In a letter reciting the wretched conditions with regard to liquor in Vallejo, the com mandant states as follows: ’Pending the cleaning up of Valle jo and the establishment of Improved conditions by the municipal authori ties, the commandant is limiting liber ty to that city to men who have fam- Hies or are residing In the city.’ Telegrams of Protest Numerous telegrams of protest 're cently have been received from pastors of churches and other representative citizens, urging that the saloons at Vallejo be closed in order to protect the sailors. In another letter the Mare Island' commandant wrote of having person- j ally arrested an enlisted man in the back room of a resort in Vallejo known as the ‘‘Liberty Inn.” ‘‘This ‘Liberty Inn,’ formerly the ‘Heidelberg Inn,’ the letter continued, “has changed its name, but not its bus iness. It is kept by a German who is a henchman of the aforesaid brewer (a German who is reputed practical ly to control the saloon element of Vallejo and the municipal government) and I have had these premises under suspicion for a long time and have re ported my observations to the Bureau of Investigation, Federal Department of Justice, San Francisco.” NEWPORT COMMITTEE SATISFIED AT ORDER i Newport, It. I., March 6.—Members of the Newport community committee headed by Mayor Clark Burdick, and representatives of other organizations who for months have protested against saloons on account of the presence of naval apprentices here, expressed sat isfaction tonight when they learned or the order issued by Secretary Daniels prohibiting the sale of intoxicants within five miles of a naval training station. The order will cause every liquor establishment in the community to go out of business. During the past few months, con stant appeals have been made to Washington urging action to regulate the sale of liquor more strictly. Since the agitation started much has been done to improve moral conditions in the city, but liquor sales have not been materially checked. GREAT LAKES CAMP NEAR DRINKING PLACES Chicago. March 6.—There is a naval camp in the Chicago down town dis trict on the lake front within less than a mile of the famous loop where the j city’s principal drinking places, cab-i arets and restaurants are situated. At present no men are in training in the eatnp, which is occupied by a guard of 100 jackles. The Great Lakes camp is 35 miles from Chicago. SHORE LEAVE AT VALLEJO WILL PROBABLY RESULT Mare Island, Cal., March fi.—Snore leave at Vallejo for sailors stationed here was locked upon today as a probable effect of Secretary Daniels' order. Unlisted nen now are compelled to take shore leave elsewhere and generally go to San Fran- j 1 cisco, the return trip costing a dollar. I There are 22 saloons in Vallejo, which has 'a population of 12,000. Conditions in Vallejo have been made the subject of naval and' civilian investi gations. The state law enforcement and protective league appealed to President I Wilson to close the saloons which, it was asserted, were used as lures for immoial j resorts. CENSURE VOTE (Continued from Page One) I either side up to 11 o'clock this morn ing. The members, weary from loss of sleep appointed a conference commit tee of six to find a way to end the sit uation. The LaFollette wing obtained by the compromise permission to intro duce two amendments and 45 minutes for each for debate. Assemblyman Rosa’s amendment which would have made condemnation of LaFollette dependent on a finding of disloyalty by the Senate investigation committee which has not yet reported, came within four votes of passing. With its failure several of the 41 who voted for it shifted to the loyalty ranks on the condemnation resolution and gave it two more votes than the re quired constitutional majority of 51. The principal speeches today wer? ny Assemblyman Donnelly, Democrat, of I Milwaukee, and Assemblyman Evjue. Wisconsin on Trial I "The state of Wisconsin is on trial be fore the bar of public opinion,” said Mr. Donnelly. “The people of this state and the people of the nation expect the Legis lature to give forcible expression of ns loyalty. They expect us to condemn and rebuke those in high and representative piece who have sought to quibble and hamper and obstruct our government in the successful prosecution of the war. Serator Robert M. La Follette has by hi actions and his conduct brought the fa r name of the state of Wiscontin into ili repute. The people of this nation will not be satisfied with any mere service loyalty. They expect us and demand of us to rise to the occasion and publicly condemn those who hamper us In our fight for democracy.” Mr. Evjue's remarks were extensive. He prepared the following synopsis of them: "AsBomblyman Evjue charged that mon ’ey had been used In the city of Madison to further the antl-I-a Follette propagan da. He stated that a leader in the antt La Follette propaganda who had been in 'financial straits had been advanced enough to take care of obligations of IS'.OOO by people who were interested in seeing the propaganda continued. "Mr. Evjue gave facts concerning doings in the city of Madison with ref erence to La Follette and contended that the campaign against the senator had been manufactured by the profi teers and newspapers. He said that what was true of Madison was true of Wisconsin and was true'of the United States. "He pointed out that the resolutions adopted by the Wisconsin School Su perintendents' Association had been framed by W. N. Parker of Madison and Supt. Cook of Ripon, long time bit ter political enemies of La Follette. He said that 20 members of the Commer cial Travelers’ Association met and passed resolution denouncing La Fol lette. Seven voted against the reso lutions. And yet, said Mr. Evjue, the newspapers sent out word that 300 commercial travelers had denounced La Follette.' Mr. Evjue also charged that Senator La Follette was expelled from the Madison Club through the efforts of Carl and Hobart Johnson, owners of a company that had piade profits of~$3,600,000 in two years on a capitalisation of $1,260,000. “Mr. Evjue also denounced ROosevelt and said that La Follette nad never said things half as objectionable as had been uttered by tbe Colonel.” Text ef Resolution “The people of the state of Wiscon sin always have stood and always will stand squarely behind the national gov ernment in all things which are essen tial to bring the present war to a suc cessful end, and we condemn Senator, Robert M. LaFollette and all bthers who have failed to see the righteous ness of our nation's cause, and who have failed to support our government in matters vital to the winning of the war; and we denounce any attitude or utterance of theirs which has tended to incite sedition among the people of our country and to Injure Wisconsin's fair name before the free people of the world.” 51 DELEGATES (Continued from'Page One) their desire to join that party. A sec retary tvas appointed to take their names and after paying dues and re ceiving membership cards they were admitted to the convention and allowed to vote. In addition to the individuals who bolted it was said that a Humber of states would completely disband their prohibition organizations and Join the National Party. Massachusetts and New Hampshire delegates announced their state conventions would Indorse this action. VOTED CO-ORDINATION INSTEAD OF MERGER Chicago, March 6.—Delegates to the National Prohibition Convention to night voted to co-operate and federate with the National Party in the further ance of certain mutual association but rejected a proposal for a complete mer ger. To Retain Name After a test vote on the merger reso lution had failed to produce the two thirds* majority, necessary for adop tion, a substitute resolution by Dr. Charles Scanlon of Pittsburg was ac cepted 207 to 75. It provides that the Prohibition party shall retain its name and continues its present activities, but that its national committee shall meet with the National Party committee to co-operate in furthering the election of state legislators and congressmen fa voring the platforms of the two par ties. Although Dr. Scanlon's resolution was made unanimous on motion of W. G. Brudbaker of Illinois, who fathered the resolution for a complete merger, delegates from many states declared they would go over to the National Party and disband their state organi zations. Such action will have to be taken at state conventions. Some of the states which it said would bolt are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oregon, Wash ington, North Dakota and Kansas. Two Days of Debate Final action .came after two days of lively debate that resulted in a dead lock in which neither those for nor those against the complete merger could muster the two-thirds majority necesary. At times each side was able to muster a majority, for the delegates becoming weary with the long hours of argument, repeatedly changed their votes. The anti-merger faction Ted by Mr. Scanlon apparently was in the majority at the opening of the convention, but the merger faction gained strength until they had a majority. The test vote on the Brubaker resolution showed the merger faction ahead 173 to Hi. A vote on the first day on the question of whether a two-thirds majority was necessary to pass the merger resolution was won by the anti-merger faction overwhelmingly. Dr. Scanlon's resolution introduced as u compromise was bitterly opposed. A vig orous debate took place between Dr. Scanlon and Mr. Brubaker during which each was charged with "Kaisertsm" and attempting to run the convention. Virgil C. Hinshaw. Prohibition national committee chairman, at the close of the convention outlined the plan of co-opera tion with the National party. War prohi bition within 90 (lays, final action on the constitutional prohibition amendment within 15 months, election of state legis lators and congressmen favoring the two parties, are the chief aims which will be sought. He announced that W. J. Caldsr wcod of Minnesota would run for the United States Congress on the National ticket, and that John Spargo of Vermont also probably would run for Congress. Both would be supported by prohibition ists, he said. After sending telegrams to President Wilson and both houses of Congress urging Immediate war prohibition and pledging its loyalty the convention ad journed. National Party Convention The National Tarty, formed by a group who bolted from the Socialist Convention in St. Louis because of its alleged disloyal stand, transacted only routine business at its national con vention here today. John Spargo of Vermont was appointed temporary chairman and committees were ap pointed. Adjournment then was taken pending the decision of the Prohibi tion party on the question of merging with the National Party. Approximately a hundred delegates were present, including many former members of the Progressive party.

H., March 6.—New Hampshire College won a basketball game from Dartmouth, 22 to 17, tonight. It was Dartmouth’s first defeat at the hands of the Durham team. WHY MARCH IS THE MOST DANGEROUSMONTH March Is the most dangerous month of the year because the changing sea sons and sudden changes in weather conditions are more than a good many systems can stand. Too often It is true that the sick "last only until spring.” At this time also grip and pneumonia endanger many lives. These serious diseases quickly develop from neglected colds and those who are weakened and run-down are easy victims. But if the system is given strength. If the impuri ties are driven from the blood and the nerve tissues fed with a wholesome and strength-giving food medicine such as Father John's Medicine, there is no danger in the change of seasons. Father John's Medicine ia invaluable as a tonic in the spring. It strengthens the system and drives out the poison ous waste matter—builds up the body. It is this power that has made it so successful in treating colds and throat troubles. The danger in using patent medicines is from the stimulants and dangerous drugs which many of theip depend on for their temporary effect Because it is free from alcohol, narcotics and dan gerous drugs. Father John's Medicine has had 60 years of success as a tonic and body builder, and in the treatment of coughs and colds. Father John’s Medicine is a doctor's prescription— pure and, wholesome.

In the constant endeavor to equip its stars with roles which are host suited to their particular talents Uoldwyn I’ictures has once more used excellent judgment in the selection of "The Cinderella Man" by Edward Childs Carpenter, as another starring vehicle for Mae Marsh. It is difficult to imagine Mae Marsh more excellently cast than in her role in “The Cinderella Man,” which in play form was one of Oliver Morosco’s greatest Broadway successes. This part of a dainty, sweet girl, romantic but genuinely human, gives Miss Marsh a wonderful opportunity to display her aptitude for changing moods. It has been said of .Miss Marsh that she is a girl of a thousand faces, because of her faculty tor expression before the camera.

"A comic opera written according to new libretto standards,’’ says Mr. Kern, "would find a favorable recep tion if the score were meritorious. I dare say a comic opera free from all characterization, obvious jests and im possible situations, and presented with a competent cast should also prove ex tremely popular. Plausibility and rea son apply to musical plays as well as to dramas and comedies, and the soon er librettists and composer recognize this fact the sooner they will receive recognition. Air. Kern explained that he had eliminated the song cues from "Oh, Boy!" as they are useless, unnecessary and at times glaringly inappropriate. "It is my opiniap,” he said, "that the musical numbers should carry the ac tion of the play and should be repre i sentative of the characters who sing them. For instance, in a scene of col lege life one would never, today, pre sent students in songs which deal with piracy or cheese manufacture, un less the action of the play demanded such activity. In other words, songs must be suited to the action and mood of the play, just as has been done in "Oh, Boy!” The company to be seen at the Opera House comes to Augusta direct from a five months run at Ve Wilbur Theatre,! Boston, with the same big cast and j j production.—Adv. r___ WRIGHT S “FIRE WATER” LANDS HIM IN JAIL Given Jail Sentence in Rum Case, also for Intoxication—Hartford Noble Gets 90 Days and Costs for Intoxica tion. As the result of passing the day Tuesday about town, one Kddie Wright, who lives out on the Spring road near the National Home at Togus, and one Hartford Noble of Augusta, who is a veteran of the Spanish War and is a member of the Home, went up on the hill Wednesday morning and will for awhile have time to think matters over, meanwhile being in the custody ot Sheriff Harwood. When brought into court Wednesday morning Wright was arraigned for the violation of a new law which was en acted by the last Legislature and which forbids one from loitering about the city streets and highways with in toxicating liquor afcout one's person, and is said to have been drawn for the purpose of making matters interesting for that class of rum sellers known as "pocket peddlers.” Incidentally it might be said that when the officer searched Wright upon arresting him he found In the latter’s pocket two pint bottles filled with something which looked like whiskey but which in real ity is said to have been a mixture of alcohol, coloring matter and water. Wright would not venture to npme the stuff any more than to say "they called it whiskey.” The stuff ignited readily' when touched with a match. When arraigned before Judge Lan caster Wright pleaded guilty, admitting that he had the two pints referred to above in liis possession, whereupon he was given a sentence, of $100 and costs and 30 days in jail, and in default of payment of fine and costs 60 days ad ditional. Wright was also arraigned on the charge of intoxication and on being found guilty was given a sen tence of 90 days in jail. Noble was arraigned on the charge of intoxication, of which he was found guilty, and was given a sentence of 90 days in jail and costs taxed at $3.62. He expressed the opinion that the sen tence was a little "stiff,” but his words fell on deaf ears and the sentence re- mains as imposed.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASXORIA KENT'S HILL NOTES The faculty of Kent s Hill Seminary have granted a half holiday to the stu dents to be spent In making the annual i slelghride to Wlnthrop Thursday after- j noon of this week. This holiday is the second of the term, It being the custom at Kent's Hill to substitute two half holidays taken at convenient times for the usual legal holidays observed by city schools. The school always has exercises in observance or patriotic holidays but the single day is always too short a period for a visit home so the boys and girls prefer the half holi day plan.

On Thursday the students will ride to Winthrop, take in the movies, and make the return trip in time for supper. Members of the faculty Will go as chaperones.
