Ii any one in Vermont was doubt
ful as to Senator Dillingham; being a
candidate to succeed himself he
should have been a. the meeting of

peal to all OF the Republican voters
of the tSate
Mr.. Dilligham will do much person
al work during the campaign, such as
speaking before civic Organizations,
he already having invitations to ad.
-ess several boards of trade.
Mr. Dillingham's home friends
were glad to fire the opening gun in
the camgaign, and all can rest assur-
ed that the. local club. which when
the roll is completed will number
some 300 in membership, will be an
active factor in the contest.
Best Of all. since the organization
last Friday assurances have come in
from al! over the State of the splen-
did endorsement Mr.. Dillingham; is
going to receive: so much so that
his wel wishers are more sansuiae
than cvef that without any douot N.Y.
Dillingham; will get from the voters
Of Vermont just what he deserves
and just what he is entitled to--a re-

MONEY SITUATION IMPROVED
Government Takes Steps to Assure
Complete Financial Safety

New York, Aug. 4.--The financial
position of this country this morn
ing to all appearances was apprecia-
bly, better than "a hours ago.
More currency was in circulation
than ever before in the history OF
the country.
More extraordinary measures were
taken by the United States govern
ment to insure against the war stress
being felt here seriously than on
any other occasion in the history CT
the United States.
Prompt measures of relief COM
posed a situation which for a time
was threatening. While it is yet too
early to measure the full effect up
on domestic affairs Of the European
upheaval and its attendant embar-
rassments, bankers who last night
admitted the outlook was troubled,
expressed confidence that the ener-
getic steps taken would meet all
needs.
The same opinion was expressed
by John Shelton Williams, comptrol-
Ter of the currency, who spent the
day at the sub-treasury and kept q
close watch over each development.
At the close of the day Mr.. Williams
said all was serene.

FAMINE STALKS WITH WAR
Russia Prepared Better Than tn
Other Countries

London, Aug. 4.-Famine Will
stalk through Europe in the van OF
war.
Prices in London for food staples
have already scared skyward. In
Germany, Austria and Russia, where
the government has requisitioned
enormous supplies Of food for pro-
yisioning Of its troops, the situation
Is acute.
In Servia and Austria the call TO
colors brought men from fields
brown with the harvest. The grain
that goes to makes the black bread
of southern Europe will spoil.
Germany cannot obtain her usual
enormous quota OF the Russian
wheat fields. All nations Of Europe
today were known to have abolished
the customs import tax on foreign
wheat, but shipping has already been
paralyzed by the imminence OF war.
Less affected by seizures for the
military forces Of food supplies, Eng
land is apprehensive of a blockade
which will cut off her staples. The
large hotels today purchased three
months supplies-and paid top
prices. London's poor are already
suffering.
Russia will be less affected than
any OF the nations, because Of the
fact that she can support her own
population almost without outside
aid.
