Candidates and Candidates.

The decision of the committees of the
several political parties to hold conven-
tons to nominate candidates for state
and congressional offices, has liyened up
the Vermont political proposition quite
iperceptibly.
For the senatorship, Senator Dilling
ham will have substantial opposition in
Charles A. Prouty of Newport who
maintains a bipartisan position, but is
promised the support from all parties
more or less. IL is expected, too, that
Governor Fletcher will complete this tri-
angle by running Independently. just
what the Progressives and Democrats
will actually decide to do when il comes
10 an actual shod down remains to be
seen. So much for the senatorship.
The entrance of Alexander Dunnett Of
st. Johnsbury into the congressional con-
test in this district adds a strong candi-
date TO the Republican list. With Mr.
Dunnett, Col Dale and Mr.. Gordon 10
chose from, the Republicans will be sure
of a man who will measure up 10 the
requirements and one who ought to be
an easy winner. Mr.. Dunnett makes his

ture of the campaign. His suggestion

are smoking with the spirit Of strife.
The Republicans will without doubt sup

HOW A MANS LIVER
DEFENDS HIS LIFE

The liver is usually q quiet, unassum-
ing organ and we do not think much
about it. Il has, however, protective
functions that should command respect.
In the process OF intestinal indigestion
there are set free what physicians and
scientists call toxic bodies" in other
words poisons. If these poisons enter in
10 the circulation Of the blood biliousness
or sick headache results.
Regularly the liver is able 10 destroy
these toxic bodies but lift Lays in its work
they quickly form in amounts excessive
enough 10 be troublesome. Headache,
constipation, dizziness, iurred tongue,
wind on the stomach, bad complexion
are the means By which nature gives
warning that the liver needs help.
The remedy is 70 stimulate the liver By
the use Of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not gripe or purge but simply
assist nature. HArsh laxsfives and salts

TO BUY FLEET
In Sufficient Numbers to
Transport Cotton and
= Grain Crops
PRESIDENT WILSON
APPROVES PLAN
To Purchase Merchant Ships
at an Early
Date

Washington, D. c., Aug 20.-President
Wilson approved yesterday plan fol
the purchase of merchant ships by the
United States in sufficient numbers to
transport the cotton and grain crops to
Europe. A bill providing for the pur-
chase of the ships and their operation
through a corporation similar to the Pan
anna Railroad company is to be intro
duced at an early date and pressed for
enactment as an administration meas
ure.
Announcement of the plan which the
administration had fixed upon for solv-
ing the shipping problem was made at
the White House in a statement die
tated by Secretary Tumulty, following
the adjournment of conference OF the
president with Majority Leader Under
wood and other congressman. The state
rent follows;
"The conference was about the deyel-
opment and safeguarding of the mer-
chant marine and every respect of the
question was gone over. 1t was recog-
nized that the present emergency called
for prompt action to relieve situation
which can be relieved if action is prompt
ly taken 1t was agreed that bill
should be introduced in Congress provid-
ing for the insurance of war risks by
the government.

GERMANY TO GIVE
BACK LEASES TO
CHINESE REPUBLIC
Statement from The Hague, Based on
Assertion of Diplomat in the
Service of Kaiser.

The Hague, Aug. 20.-The German en-
peror is planning to checkmate Japan.
II possible her ultimatum will be made
ineffective. Germany win probably vol
unfairly surrender to China her conces-
sions on the Shantung peninsula. In
turning back to the Chinese republic
Kiau- Chau and the German land and
water leased territory, the kaiser is ex-
pected to emphasize that Germany has
been an economic force in the orient
that has made for improved conditions.
While definite decision has not been
reached, high German diplomat as
sures the United Press Berlin offices
that Germany is already negotiating
with China. to turn back to the oriental
republic its leased territory.
There is the most intense Indignation
in German official circles over the posi-
tion assumed by Japan; but it is real
lied that its ultimatum was prepared at
the dictation of Great Britain and that
Japan in this instance is simply the
agent of England.
The fortunes of war are exemplied
in the condition of Lieut. Deceller de
Moranville, son of the Belgian com
mander-in -chief. He wandered over the
Dutch frontier and was captured by
Dutch patrol, and will now be interned
until the end of the war. Like $50 Ger
mans, among them some well-known of
ficers, he will be held a prisoner either
here or at Amsterdam.

Not Good Advice.

Urging working people Of the state TO
withdraw their deposits from the saw.
ings banks as protest against the Eu.
ropean war on the ground that it is the
intention OF American capitalists to fur,
nish the sinews of war to the bellig.
erents, is not good advice. 1t smacks
something of the old saying of cutting
ones nose off to spite ones face"
Many win agree with the resolutions
of the labor men in their opposition TO
making Europe slaughter pen and will
heartily indorse their attitude against
war in general, but the withdrawal of
ones deposits from ones own savings
bank will not reach the spot desired by
the labor leaders. II would cause bust
ness houses TO close up and building
transactions TO lessen, thus bringing un-
employment for the lsboring men.
Besides. President Wilson has already
very properly frowned on the suggestion
that a great American banking house
supply a part of the war funds by loan
ing one of the warning powers a few
hundred million. Boston Globe.

War in Europe Worried
Him and fastened
the End
PONTIFF CONSCIOUS
ALMOST TO LAST
Serious Turn Came in Case
Yesterday Morn
ing

Rome, Aug. 20.-Pope Plus \. dice
early this morning. With him when h,
died were his two sisters and his broth,
er. The pope was conscious almost un.
til the end and realized fully his condi'
ton.
The serious turn in his case came early
yesterday morning. After his physicians
had seen him, the Vatican authorities
notified the government that the pom
tiff's condition was very grave.
Later in the afternoon he became
weaker and the viaticum was admins
tered. After that he sank gradually.
Until the conclave is held and the
next pope chosen the Cardinal Gamer
Iengo Chamberlain will be the acting
head of the Roman Catholic church,
The present chamberlain is Cardinal
Della volpo.
Undoubtedly the war in Europe had
much to do with the pope's death. Since
the beginning OF It he spent most OF his
time in prayer and Vatican reports said
that he was sorely grieved. What may
be considered his last message to his
people was worldwide prayer for the
removal Of the evil causes of war
The pope's brother was called to his
bedside at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal sec
rotary of state, was also called TO the
bedside yesterday morning. The holy
father, realizing the seriousness of his
illness, summoned Cardinal Merry del
Val and conferred with him for some
time in secret. Afterward the csrdi-
nal sent word to the cardinals who have
left the city TO return at once.
The popes illness has developed since
the outbreak of the war. He has grieved
much over the opening OF hostilties and
has spent much time in meditation and
prayer.
