All Political Parties Supporting the
Plan Against the Wishes of
Austria. 49,

Belgrade, Nov. 10.-Dibri, forty
five miles south-southwest OF Pris-
rend, in Albania, was taken by the
Servians yesterday, after severe
fighting, according to private advices.
The remnants of the Turkish Mace
donia army had assembled there.
The same reports say that Monastir
has surrendered. Major Popoyich,
in command of the Servian cavalry,
has captured Dajran, with a thousand
Turks.
The Third Servian Army is well on
its way toward the Adriatic, but pro-
gress is slow on account of the bad
roads. 1t is expected that DuraZzo
will be taken in day or two. Dur
ago is one of the ports which Servia
has announced her intertion OF seiz-
ing and holding.
The national determination to oc-
cupy one or more Adriatic ports,
against the uesire of Austria, is abb
solutely earnest. All political parties
have announced their readiness TO
support the Government, come what
may. The politicians are convinced
that the powers, including Germany,
will be able to convince Austria
Hungary that Servia with an outlet
on the Adriatic will not be more dan
gerous to her than without such an
outlet
Servia desires peaceful economical
development. The political leaders
declare that there need be no fear
that some other power will become
master of the port; Seryia sheds her
blood for her own interests, not for
others.

TO PROMOTE WRESTLING
Young Goth Trying to Arrange
Matches in Bennington

Matches In Bennington
Herbert Hartley of Providence, bet
ter known as Young Goth, who is
well known in this city, plans to give
wrestling boom at Bennington, VT
Following his recent exhibition with
Desire Bosley of this city he went to
the Vermont town to look over the
ground with the idea of arranging for
match with some suitable opponent
in the near future.
While Hartley claims no champion
ships, he is a hard man for any of
the lightweights to tackle. He claims
a draw in one of his meetings with
Eugene Trembly of Montreal while
his list of victories shows that there
are few men in his class who have
much on him around New England
where he has done most of his work
The Bennington fans will be given
chance to see some lively sport II
they turn out to help Hartley. He
plans to open up in a week or two
with an opponent yet to be decided
upon. Hartley is veteran perform
er at the game and there are few
tricks with which he is not familiar
He showed his cleverness in the
bout with Desire Bosley Thursday
night when he held the local man,
who had about 20 pounds on him, TO
no falls during the 10 minutes that
they grappled.
II would not be surprising il Hart
ley meets William Gibbs OF Pitts
field, formerly Of this city, in a match
at Bennington before long. The pair
met at Adams a year ago and neither
could get a fall in an hour of fast
wrestling. Both are willing to ar
range for a return meeting and Il is
likely that they will get together
in one Of the early matches in the
Vermont town. II would give the
fans a fine entertainment for the
opening smoker.-North Adams

DOCTORS MADE CRANE QUIT
Senator Was Told Political Contest
Would Probably Be Fatal.

Boston, Nov. 10.-The real reason
why United States Senator Winthrop
Murray Crane decided to retire be-
came known today.
Mr.. Crane has been in poor health
for some time. His heart is not
strong. For the last year he has
been under the constant watch OF
his physicians. When it became ap-
parent that there would be a con
test for his seat, his physicians ad-
vised him that he must not enter
such a fight if he wished to live. He
then announced his retirement. He
hopes that through a long rest at his
home in Dalton he will regain his
health.

Following the toasts, Mrs. WATSON
gave a charming talk on the relation
ship between the general federation
and the state federation and the
state federation and the clubs
throughout the state. Mrs. WATSON
said that when the general federation
was first founded in New York there
were 81 womens clubs in the coun-
81
are between four and five thousand
women, who are members of federat-
ed women's clubs. The Fortnightly
is the next largest club in the state
federation and the speaker went ON
to say that it had a splendid oppor-
tunity along with the other clubs in
the state to be an influence for good
not alone in its own community, but
in the state at large in the advance
ment of the New Vermont movement
Mrs. WATSON spoke briefly of the work
of the different departments in club
work in Vermont and how much de
pended on the cooperation of all
the clubs in the federation to make
the work effective. Today, woman's
activities are not confined TO the
home, but her interests are more
diversified and she takes an active
part in everything that affects the
home. The club woman's ideals
should be kept up to a high standard
and her influence should be for all
that is pure and womanly, said Mrs.
WATSON. This should be the aim of
the club to strive to be a power be-
hind all the movements that are for
the advancement of the community
and the state. The conservation of
the children TO become good citizens
was point she emphasized
Mrs. Wasson's personal charm |
made her words especially effective !
and her talk was keenly enjoyed by |
everyone present. Her wide exper- |
fence in club work in the state makes |
her especially capable of bringing to |
the club a message of greeting on its |
twenty-trst birthday, when after a
SPLENDID youth it continues on its |
life of usefulness.
The exercises were closed by the |
singing of the song Vermont" copy |

Makes noble men of might,
And sterling youth.
Thy pure and wind-swept air,
Thy peaceful valleys fair,
Thy skies of blue;
Make girls who've always stood
For all that woman should
The flower of womanhood,-
Tender and true.

REPUBLICAN HIDE ON THE FENCE.
Democrats Sweep Country In Tuesdays Election

The national election Tuesday
resulted in an overwhelming
landslide for the Democratic
ticket, and Woodrow Wilson will
be president for four years from
March 4th, next. The division
in the Republican ranks contrib
uted largely to this outcome Of
the voting, but even had the lat
ter party been united the result
would nave been materially the
same. 1t was Democratic year
and Democratic weather. Pres
ident Wilson will have a Demo
cratic congress with him for the
first two years of his term at
least. The best that can now be
SAID now is, that we hope the
usual bad effects of q Democratic
victory will not follow the party
this time to affiict the country.

HOW IT WORKS In KANSAS.

Kansas has for a long time been re-
garded as Il state i'll which to try out
new IDEAS. and see how they would
work. No state has more potent
moral force than the state Of Kansas.
partl;-, We presume, because ii was
born in the throes OF great moral
contest, and partly because it was
settlA; sy 1t very high type of people.
Most of the other states have borrow
ed FROM it in various ways, which
they tried out first in Kansas, and
found out whether they We're practic-
al o. not.
Among other things, Kansas has
long been prohibition state; and
while the law has not always been
enforced, as we happen to know from
scenes we have witnessed at times
white visiting it, yet after al it has
probably been enforced as we'll as in
any state in the union, il not better
Our readers may the refole be inter
ested in what John S. Dawson. attOr-
ney general OF Kansas, is quoted as
saving about the industrial effects OF
Prohibition there. AmcnS other
things, he says that the consumption
of liquor in Kansas averages ~ rents
per head. while in Missouri the aver
age is about So, and i'll the entire
United States, il we remember right

We quote further:
| Almost q third OF the entire FCpu-
