in South Atlantic Almost
Exclusively Now.
ENGAGEMENTS AT SEA
Mean Virtual AnnihBation and
Loss of the Crews Except
Those victors Save.

LONDON, Dec. 10.-The British
naval victory in the South Atlantic is
being discussed in England today al
most to the exclusion OF all other
phases of the war news. Naval OBJ
servers commenting on the action of
the Falkland Islands made note of the
fact that In all naval engagements in
the present war there is great dipari-
~ between the losses of the victors
and the vanQuished. In the case Of
the British cruisers, Monmouth and
Good Hope, sent to the bottom by a
German squadron off the coast OF
Chile, early in November, the Ger
mans were practically unscathed and
the same is true OF the British in
their victorious engagement in the
South Atlantic. In other words de-
! feat at sea means virtually annihila-
ton and the loss of all crews with the
exception of such men as the victors
may be able to save. /,
There has been littleyor no change
in the general situation along the bat
tie line in France and Belgium but
the tone of all the French and British
statements reflects more and more
the contention of the allies that slow
ly and, surely they are gaining a
superior position.
In the eastern arena Of the}war the
Occupation of LODI by the Germans
has been temporarily eclipsed by re.
ports of the development of activity
at two other points notably north OF
the Vistula from the southern part
of East Prussia whence the Germans
are advancing towards Warsaw, and
lin the country southeast of Cracow,
where combined Austro-G German
forces are endeavoring to outfank
the Russian left This lotter move.

lnouncement has been repulsed. &

SECRETARY DANIELS
FOR CIR A TER NAVY
Thinks Country Should Build
Not against Any Nation But
UntoWard Contingency.
tsr ,saeciA1Ep rRrsa,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 10
Secretary Daniels told the House ma
val committee today that while the
American navy should be Steadily
strengthened in an orderly way" each
year, the sentiment of the American
people was against making the
United States into a military nation
in competition with the heavily
armed powers of Europe"
The secrelry's declaration today
close upon the remarkable testimony
of Rear Admiral Fletcher. command
er of the Atlantic fleet, who yester-
day told the committee that there
was only one navy in the world, Eng
land, to which the United States was
not equal. came as e climax to two
days discussion of the preparedness
of the nation for defense. Secretary
Daniels declared he decried the de-
mands for great increase in the ar
ray of battleships and submarines
and declared that the United States
already was strong nation. He out
lined this years plan for two dread
.naughts. six torpedo boat destroyers,
eight or more submarines, including
one of the seagoing type and ot:-elrs
for coast defense, one gunboat and
one oiler. He advised Congress not
to act any differently IN providing for
naval strength than 1t would act if
there had been no European war. He
declared that after the conflict
abroad had been settled there would
be many lessons made plain and he
expressed the hope that universal
disarmament might come then
though no nation could afford to
stop its construction program until
ans international agreement had be-
come an actually. He outlined the
plan for naval reserve to keep u.s.
900 trained former sailors of the
navy for practically instant service
and revealed that all retired officers
were being registered for that pur-
pose now.
Questioned by congressman OF the
COMMITTEES he agreed that tosbuild a
navy against England two-battle-
ship plan program would be insult
ficient and said I'VE are not build

but simply against untoward con-

From a Former Vermonter

The following letter from a former
Verrnonter has recently been received at
the headquarters Of the Dillingham; Club
in Waterbury,
| 81 extracted the enclosed from Senator
| Dllinghams remarks delivered on the
| floor of the Senate at the conclusion of
the trial in the Lorimer case. read
them with a feeling OF pride that my ma
tive State should be represented there by
a man who had the manhood TO vote
for what he thought was right regard
less OF its effect on his political fortunes.
That is the kind Of a man that Vermont
should always, if possible, return to
Washington"
The extract from Senator Dillingham; S
speech referred to is as follows:-
Hardly a newspaper in Vermont,
however friendly their attitude toward
me, personally, could commend my &C
tion-they could not understand it-and
while they treated me with the greatest
possible consideration and with a conf
dence in my integrity which l shall never
forget, was conscious that they were
disappointed. Because of this, and be-
opinion of my constituents, / have want
ed to place in the Record that they may
judge OF my motives, some of the rea-
sons for the position | have felt compelled
to assume ii this case.
IF standing for what believe is right
and true and just, for that which in my
judgment is established by the evidence,
must subject me to criticism it will cause
me the deepest regret. but bound by the
solemn obligation of the oath l have
taken | can but act upon my Judgment
and render my decision in accordance
with the evidence before me. Sitting as
judge, am obligated to determine my
action, "a have done, upon the merits
of the case in the light of all the facts
disclosed and upon the evidence as a
whole. 1t is OF more Importance to me
to preserve good conscience and to be
at peace with myself than to occupy
seat in this distinguished body.

The Storm Nose at Sea.

The picturesque name of storm
nose (gewitternase) is given in Ger,
many to the wave of high baromet-
ric pressure which often precedes a
storm or a heavy squall. The ba-
rometer rises suddenly and then
falls more gradually. 1t is believed
that this phenomenon is responsible
for sudden changes in the level of
the sea. Observations on the seas
surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change of
level thus produced sometimes
amounts to no less than three feet.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing indam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today.
