United States Menaced.

Your reference to the horrible war;"
says the writer, have touched me very
considerably, and l have read and re-
read the very interesting views you
hold. 1t is extremely comforting to us
to have the benefit of so much SYM
pathy from the United States of Am
erica, whose people must be wise
enough to realize that the ultimate de-
feat of the allied powers would, with
out any doubt, mean an extremely I'M
pleasant future for the United States.
We pray to God that this war will ter
inmate quickly, but honestly speaking,
nobody in this country has the Slight
est belief that it will be of shorter du-
ration than twelve months at least.
ut is the one satisfactory feature of
the people of this country that they
have put aside all unnecessary optimis-
tic views and feelings. One and all
have realized that we are in a most
serious undertaking and one which
must of necessity cost, not only the
most stupendous number of lives, but
apart from that gigantic sum of
money. You know the English char
acter perfectly well and / say that this
war, although it means tremendous
suffering, in the end will do us as a
nation an immense deal of good. Poll
tics was beginning to divide the class

of Englishmen of every description has
amazed me, because up to the time the
war broke out, it was a very unhappy
experience to see how the people Of the
country were drifting away from one
another.

SPORTSMAN SPLINTER
OUTRUN5 FLEET DEER
Especial to TimesRecorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 30.-The big
gest hunting story of this years crop
has reached Atlanta through a sports
man just returned from a trip over
the state, and he says dozen people
will vouch for it.
John B. Gregory, of Yemassee, was
riding through his cotton fields when
he saw a deer running through the
cotton. Mr.. Gregory was unarmed, but
he dismounted and undertook a race
with the deer. He actually ran the
buck down, got grip on it's hind
legs and yelled for help. A negro boy
came up and held the deer while Greg
DRY cut the animals throat with a
pocket knife.
The end of the chase is explained
by the fact that the deer had been
severely chased by dogs all the morn
ing and was nearly "all in" when the
planter discovered it.

ing ever is in this country except the
navy; but loyalty has been well proved
and maintained.
Il cannot speak of the various deeds
of heroism which have been displayed
by our comparatively small army in so
far as it,has gone, but have it from
personal friends who have been to the
front, and from others who have rela-
tives there, too, that never in the his
tory of this country have men been so
brave and laid down their lives so
readily"

PLANS NAVAL RESERVE
FOR UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 30-The
organization of national naval re-
serve of $4,000 men, to be used by this
country in case of war or other emer-
gency, will soon be started by Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of
the navy.
The cost to the government will be
small, and when the organization of
the reserve is completed Uncle Sam
will be enabled in case of war quickly
to draw from the ranks of civilians at
least $4,000 men, each of whom will
have had sufficient training to fit him
at once to take the post assigned to
him on a ship.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been working on
the formation of a national reserve for
some time and his plans are low being
incorporated in bill which will be
presented to congress at the December
session.
Each member of the proposed ma
tional naval reserve will be on the
government payroll, but for an amount
that will be nominal. AS now planned
the compensation of each member of
the reserve in time of peace will 81 a
year. In addition an insignia in the
shape of some kind of emblem will be
established.

CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT?

There can be neither comfort nor good
health where constipation exists. Most
people suffer from this cause at intervals,
many are chronic victims.
Strangely enough, the old-time rene
dies for this very common complaint
were nauseating doses and so powerful
that they often made the condition worse
than before. Then they wore out in their
effect go that it was necessary to take a
larger and larger dose. The first attempts
at improvement sought to make the dose
more palatable but TO disguise the taste
the size was increased and results were
unsatisfactory.
In this age Of progress it was impossible
that doses resembling horse medicine
should continue to be taken by human
beings. In the new laxative, Pinklets,
is presented a dainty, sugar-coated pill,
hardly larger than a grain of mustard,
that is free from unpleasant effects, does
not upset the stomach nor grippe but
simply gives nature the needed assistance.
Pinklets also assist digestion and are
good TO take after full meal. Once use
Pinklets and you will never return TO
salts, oil and harsh purgatiyes.
Your own druggist can supply you with
Pinklets or they will be sent by mail,
postpaid, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co, Schenectady, N. Y, at % cents per
bottle. Send for helpful pamphlet.

MET DEFEAT AT RICHMOND.
Barre A. C. Team Loses to Strong Team
of That Town.

The Barre A. C. baseball team, under
the guidance OF Tommy Davidson, met
defeat at Richmond yesterday afternoon
at the hands of the strong Richmond
A. c. team. The game was characterized
by hard hitting. At the close of the
regulation nine innings, the teams were
found fighting on even terms, nine all.
In the 10th session, the Richmand bat
tiers garnered several hits off Pitcher
Glare and won the game 10 to 8. To-
mast commenced TO twirl for Barre ana

tial inning. Tomaa was hit especially
hard during his session in charge of the
game. Jack Glare, the former Laeonia
high school HEAVIER, was summoned to
assume the duties abandoned by To-
mast Clare gave fine exhibition of
pitching and with good support would
have won the contest. Norman, Burling-
ton high schools star twirler, was on
the mound for Richmond. He was hit
hard at times and did not seem to pos
sess the same effectiveness that has char
acterized his pitching this spring. Field
ing features of the game We're contribut-
ed by Hoar and Sullivan of the Barre

terday before the House commerce com
mttee.
The committee was working on Rep
resentative Townsend's resolution call
ing for an interstate commerce commits
sion investigation to determine the cause
of the decline in the market price OF
the railroads bonds.
Joseph Ramsey, former president OF
the Wabash testified how he had been
deposed from office without his knowl-
edge at a directors meeting.
Under questioning by Mr.. Townsend
he gave testimony to show that the de-
cline in the property was due to fight
by rival financial interests for control OF
the freight tonnage OF the Pittsburg
district.
Mr.. Townsend in his resolution sets
out that the Wabash Pittsburg Terminal
company's issue of first mortgage bonds
aggregated $50, 236,000, and he wants to
know what cash or things of value it re-
ceived from the disposal of this issue and
for what purpose the proceeds were used.
He also would know from whom and
at what price the company obtained con-
troll of more than 81 per cent. of the
capital stock of the Wabash & Lake
Erie railroad, whether it ever trans
ferred or gave to the Wabash Railway
company certain bonds or stocks sup
posed to be already pledged as security
si,at af
forts have been made to protect the
bond purchasers.
Mr. Ramsey told the committee the
late E. H. Hartman had asked him what
would be the effect upon the terminal
bonds if the trackage and traffic agree
ments or contracts with the Wheeling &
Lake Erie and the tonnage agreements
with the Carnegie Steel company were
cancelled. Ramsey said he replied that
the bonds certainly would be depressed,
Shortly afterward, he testified, receivers
asked for a cancellation of the agree
ment and the terminal company's traf-
fc the first year following fell off one
third and bonds dropped accordingly.
He said the canceling OF these agree
ments was one of the main reasons for.

attribute the troubles to the hostility of

House foreign affairs committee had be
fore it yesterday Secretary Garrison;
letter urging removal of restrictions
upon importation of electric power from
Canada and retention of the present
limit of $4,000 cubic feet per second
upon the amount of water diverted for
power purposes from the Niagara river
above the falls on the American side
The committee had called meeting
for general discussion of the Niagara
diversion problems yesterday.
Secretary Garrison accompanied his
letter with report by Brigadier Gen
eral Kingman, chief of engineers of the
army, declaring that the enormous COM
merce on the Great Lakes probably
would soon demand ship canal between
Lakes Erie and Ontario on American
soil.
Stating that while the Burton Mag
ara river diversion law was in operation
the average cost of administration was
$4,000 year, Secretary Garrison sub
mitted an amendment to the proposed
legislation so as to declare that the pur-
pose is "to authorize such control and
use of the waters of the Niagara river
as shall be best adapted to conserve and
utilize the water in the interests of nav
igation, full development of water power
and other public purposes and to APP

BOTH FIGHTERS ARE LEADERS
Which Added to Interest Of the Carpen
tier-Smith Bout.

New York, July l6.--unusual interest
is evinced both in America and Europe
in the 20-round boxing bout between
George Carpenter and Gunboat Smith
to be held in London tonight. Because
of the ring prominence and nationality
of the contestants the match has as
sumed international Importance. Car
pentier is the first of the French pugil-
istic school to gain worldwide recogni-
ton, while Smith is one of the leading
boxers of the so-called white hope class
which sprang up following the defeat of
Jim Jeffries by Jack johnson at Reno
in 1910. According to the announcement
of the management OF Olympia, where
the match will be staged, the contest
will be for the white heavyweight
championship of the world with stakes
Of more than $4,000 to be divided be-
tween the two opponents.
OF the two boxers, Carpenter offers
the most interesting personality. Born
at Benz, France, on January IL, 1894
he is in his 2lst year of age. Although
he did not begin to box until he was IL
his rise has been both rapid and spec
tacular. Beginning as bantam he
worked through class after class until to-
day he is considered by many experts
as the best light heavyweight in the
world Weighing in the neighborhood of
ITO pounds, he has 73-inch reach, Al
inch chest and is five feet 10 inches in
height. He is very muscular and ter
rife hitter, Boxing with a slight crouch
and with style that resembles in many
ways the best American pugilists. His
ability to withstand hard punishment is
one of his strong points, and he has new
err shown any disposition TO avoid hard
mixups.
Edward tGunboat) Smith is an Irish
American, born in Philadelphia, Pa May
s, 1888. He began fighting in the West
six years ago but did not become prom
inent among the white heavyweight pu
gilists until he came East in 1912. With
