HILL RESIGNS
Ambassador to Germany
to Quit Post.
TO TAKE EFFECT JULY !
His Resignation, For Which no Rea-
son is Given, Caused Great
Surprise in Diplomatic
Circles.

Washington, April l5.-David Jayne
Till has resigned as ambassador Of
the United States TO Germany and
the president has accepted his resigna-
ton.
Neither in Mr.. Hllls letter OF resig-
nation nor in the presidents letter Of
acceptance is any reason given for
the ambassadors action.
The president thanks Mr.. Hill for
his services at Berlin and says that he
Is glad to know that he will remain
there until July l, when the resigna-
ton goes into effect.
Resignation Great Surprise.
While Ambassador Hills resignation
was a great surprise to official Wash
ington and to the diplomatic corps,
1t is argued that the fact that he Is to
remain at his post until July indi-
Gates that there was nothing urgent in
his action.
Belief Is geenral that his retirement
is in accord with the custom OF pas
administrations to appoint new am
bassadors to all important posts.
Changes have been made by Presi-
dent Taft at all such places except to
Great Britain and Germany.
in the case OF Great Britain Presi-
dent Taft offered the mission to DR..
Eliot, of Harvard university. who de
clined.
Accepting the resignation, the pres
ident wrote under date Of April 10:
1T is with great reluctance that
accept your resignation and relieve
you of a mission which you rave dis
charged in manner which SO highly
appreciate both as to the actual work
of the embassy and as to your rela-
ton II the government to which you
are accredited.
Il am glad II will be convenient to
you to retain your post until the LIST
Of next July"
Post May Be Too Costly.
II was learned that while the re-
signation OF DR.. Hill had come as a
surprise to the general public, he had
such a step in contemplation for some
time II also was stated that Ambas.
sador Hill probably will retire to prl-
yate life.
Reports OF friction between DIR. II IL
and the state department were In cir
culaton. but no confirmation was oh
tainable from any source.
One Of the chief reasons, II Is said.
which prompted Dr. Hill TO relinquish
his position. where the president
would have been willing to allow him
to remain, Is that Ambassador HIS
bank account does not warrant him
continuing his residence in Berlin.
Having been a college professor and
not a wealthy man seeking diplomatic
honors, he is comparatively poor
man and unable to keep up the pace
set by the diplomatic corps Of the
German capital. The salary OF the
American ambassador. $l7.5OO a year.
Is not sufficient to enable him to main
tain his establishment in keeping with
the splendor OF the kaisers court

WANT CONDENSATION AcT
Friends of Labor to Fight for Imme-

Boston, Jan. MISUNDERSTANDING
the request of the commission on
workingmen's compensation for a
years delay, friends of organized la

are determined to fight for legisla-
ton this year.
They say they were prevented from

Use that a bill would be brought in

the request for delay as a breach Of
faith.
Representative Joseph A. Parks Of
Fall River, labor leader in The House,
signed the report OF the commission,
but reserved his right to support any
bill ON the subject of workingmen's
compensation that might come up.
Representative Cogswell of Lynn has
introduced bill on petition of the
Massachusetts branch of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and this
will be pushed unless the report of
the commission can be defeated.
The report went to the House yes
terday unaccompanied by any bill and
delay of at least year was asked on
the ground that the commission had
not had sufficient time for study and
investigation. The labor people say
that they are willing that they should
have two months longer, but the pro
position to wait another year for a f.
nal report is more than they will
agree TO.

MAKES GOOJ, HEALTHY FLESH
Vim. L. cokay Offers to Pay for SAM
ose If il Fails.

Begin the use of Samose today and
you will soon notice gain in good,
healthy flesh. To all who are thin,
weak and run down, this remarkable
flesh-forming food promises plump,
rosy, perfect health, yigor and yitali-
ty.
Most people eat enough to become
fat; the trouble is not lack of food,
but lack of assimllatiye power.
Samose mingles with the food that
is eaten, so that it is assimilated by
the blood, and builds up pleasing
plumpness and good healthy flesh.
Those who use Samose for week or
ten days will soon notice gain in
weight and an improvement in gener-
al strength and health.
Samose is in tablet form, pleasant
to take and is sold by one of the most
reputable drug stores in Bennington,

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub,
DAMAGE SUITS

From the numerous suits for dam
ages filed of late against the Rutland
Railway, Light & Power company,
it might be easily concluded that one
of the busiest departments of this
public service company during the
forthcoming months will be its legal
department. A large number of peo-
pie are evidently under the impress
sion that the corporation has purse
plethoric with easy money. '-Rut-
land Evening News.
The Rutland Light & Power COM
pany and other corporations will
continue to be the defendants in
damage suits until some radical chan
ges are made in the laws. The ex-
listing statutes are unfair to the cor
porations, the employees and the pub
lie. The system now in existence
must necessarily produce a continu-
GUS string Of suits entailing large ex-
pense for attorneys fees upon both
parties.
1t would seem as though the cor
porations themselves would take the
lead in breaking away from existing
conditions. The course they have
pursued for years has created feel
ling of luminosity throughout the en-
tire country. The sympathies Of
juries are invariably with the plaintiff
in damage suits and the chief advan
tage of the corporations has been
their ability to keep the cases In
court until they have exhausted the
financial resources of the injured par
ties.
| The legislatures of Vermont ant
/ Massachusetts at the present time
have under consideration employers
liability and compensation acts which
point the way out from some of the
complications existing under our pre-
sent laws. They are only the begin
lining, however, and the sooner the
corporations take up the study of the
situation and cease depending upoI
the advantage that the long purse
gives them in legal battle. the soon
err the big problem will be solved.

given to practical joking, surrepttious-

fountain pen. When the bottle had
been thoroughly shaken 1t was re-
placed upon the mantel and carefully
