WASHINGTON GUARDS
AGAINST HOSTILE ACT
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug S.-The United
States Government will not interfere
with departure of reservists for service
in European armies even though they
20 by shploads, unless they are cor
gained or armed military" Che Depart
mcnt of Commerce announced today.
The decision OF Secretary Redfeld re-
suited from an application for clear
ancc of steamer Rochambeau, with
passenger list almost exclusively of
Frenchmen supposed TO be reservists re-
turning for army duty.
Collectors were notified. however, 10
refer all cases to the department before
taking action. Collectors were instructed
to use great caution TO prevent the
clearance from any American ports OF
vessels which had been fitted out for war
service.
The presence of large bodies of reserv-
lists on board, who took passage as in
dividuals, the Department Of Commerce
explained, may he considered as an in
dication of an attempt to violate the
neutrality laws and thus prevent clear
ance. if there are other elements enter
ing into the case.
In the case of the steamship Water
land it was declared that the taking
on of full cargo of coal, indicating
that the vessel has been transformed
into a collier was considered a cir
cumstance violating the neutrality
laws.
England will not attempt to re-
cruit soldiers in the United States
and transport them abroad via Can
ada. it was stated at the British en-
bassy this afternoon. In the opin-
ion of Secretary Seymour such action
would be a violation of the neutrality
proclamation. The embassy be-
lieved. however. that there was moth
ing to prohibit individual soldiers go
ing across the border and sailing for
I England.

LONDON, Aug Sat the War Office
today it was stated that Austria. at the
request of Germany. has despatched two
of her veteran army corps to reinforce
the German expedition proceeding
against the Franco Belgian border.
These troops were asked for because
Germany wanted to use veterans in this
attack instead of depending on raw re-
serves. It is believed here that these
army corps are the ones that have been
operating along the Servian frontier.

RIVER TRIPS ARE POPULAR.
River trips on the Wilson Line are
proving more popular this summer than
ever before. There are several reasons
for this. The river trips are always
cool and comfortable and q steamboat
is one public conveyance which can
never be crowded. There is no hanging
on 90 straps and no standing in aisles
because there must be room and seat
for every passenger. In addition TO this
the schedule OF eleven trips each way
each day makes it possible for the pleas
ure-sceker TO take trip at most any
time Of the day or evening.

Funeral of Late Henry |. Dole.

Funeral services for the late Henry
L. Dole, whose death occurred in
Bradford, Mass, after a short Illness
Tuesday morning, were held from the
vestry of the Old South church Thurs
day afternoon. Rev. Fred V. Stanley,
pastor of that church, officiated. The
bearers included the Messrs. Frank
Davenport, Howard E. Andrews Her
bert Goodrich and Ralph Davenport.
Interment was in the HalloweH ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Dole might well be called a resi-
dent of Hallowell, owing to his numer-
Gus visits and long residence in this
city, during the summer months. To
the more aged citizens he will be re-
memhered as a sincere and congenial
companion, while to the younger pop
ulation he is remembered as simply
Mr. Dole, who was recognized every
where by his jovial greetings and
agreeable conversation.
His death was caused, indirectly,
from the effects of gas poisoning, the
result of an accident at his Bradford
home only a week ago. This, with his
old age, served to make Hallowell min
us another of its more aged residents.

A case has just come to our atten-
tion from st. Augustine. Fla. Mrs. w.

tion. She had no appetite and was
miserable. After trying different
medicines and doctors without bene-
fit she saw Vinol advertised and tried
it. Her appetite returned, nervous
ness disappeared and she was soon
strong and well as ever.
Weakness may he caused by a
run n-doWn condition, mal-assimilation
Of food. lack of iron in the blood or
a result of sickness.
Whatever the cause, we want to
say to every person who needs
strength, you need Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic without oil,

creator we have in our store.

that has not happened before for a
great many years. The no school,
signal was sounded both in the morn

remained closed throughout the day,
and was generally referred to as the
most frigid place in town" At IL

the temperature was reported as rang
