The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-05-05

When Jack FOtheringham arrived in
this country from England recently he
told true story of his sojourn in
South Africa, where golf has been in
creasng to a marked extent of late.
1t seems there was Il professional of
the mamie of Sandy MacTavish, who
captured young kangaroo in Austria
lia and became 50 attached to the ami
NAL that when Sandy was transferred
to South Africa he took his pet with
him.
Lassie seemed to be an intelligent
kangaroo, and one day when Sandy
was standing on the first tee he was
surprised to see his pet hopping toward
him with all his clubs in her pouch,
and, dropping Il ball on the tee, she
handed the pro" his driver. Sandy
proceeded to play, and owing to the
keen sight and the rapid facility with
which his cadde got after the ball he
never lost a ball. FOtheringham says
that the last he heard of Sandy was
that he was teaching the kangaroo to
play golf and, while her fore legs are
Il trife short, her three-quarter iron
shots are perfect and she puts in the
! finest fashion.

Enforce discipline, but do not hunt for
trouble or allow your Judgment to be
impaired by losing your temper"
Still another one: Put snap and en-
ergy into your work. Be on top Of
every play. Never lose sight of the
ball. Hustle the games along. Do not
talk to spectators or allow players to
argue or quarrel with them. Avoid
trouble by going to your dressing room
Immediately after the game is over"
There are many other rules. Nothing
about breathing. however.

ARMY IMMERSED IN
SEA OF SILENCE
None But Highest British Officers
Knows Word Of What
ls Afoot.

Boulogne.-The silence of this war
is wonderful. Every English trooper
here talks about it. They say:
do you know that our wives have
no idea of where we are? We did
not know ourselves where we were
going. The first thing we knew was
when an officer who came along with
us on the train to Southampton shout
ed: No noise there; don't you know
you're on active service?'
when we & lot to the TRANSPORTS
we might have been going to Borneo
for all we knew. The skipper did not
know the port he was bound for until
the transport was twenty miles out.
eve must not write letters or any
thing except postcard to say that
we are well or that we are in a. hos
pital, and there will be no postmark
on that"
The officers are immersed in the
same sea of silence as the men. Only
those of the highest rank know what
is afoot. None of them can tell where
they are going, nor would they tell
II they knew, but say the action of
the Government is quite right.
The suppression of English papers
has been one Of the features. Gus
toms officers board all incoming ships
and quietly capture every newspaper.

Informal Overtures Made Regarding
Purchase Of German Ships.
Washington.-Tie British Govern
ment has been unoff1~ tally sounded by
the State Department with a view to
eliciting some information as to the
attitude of the allies toward the trans
fer of foreign ships to American
registry. Thus far no details of he
representations Informally express I'd
by this Government are ohtainable.
The Treasury Department disclaimed
having made any such representa-
tions, while at the STATE Department
it was said that no reply of formal
character had been received from the
British Foreign Office. ~.
The impression prevails that the
Hamburg-American Line was the one
most likely to be involved in a trans
fer to the American flag. Officials
of the State Department said that
inquiries had been made with respect
to another system of ships. One Off
cial insisted that it was not with re-
gard to the Hamburg American ships
that the Interchange of questions had
taken place.

FREE SHIPMENT OF POULTRY.
Express Company to Carry Live Poul-
try Free to Fairs.

Charlottesville Southern Express
Company has issued an order permit
ting the free transportation of live
poultry, weight not exceeding 40
pounds, from points in the state OF
North Carolina reached by that COM
pany when consigned for exhibition at
fairs to be held at Raleigh and Char
lotte during the month of October,
1914. 1t is stipulated that such ship
ments must be entirely within this
state and must be accompanied by
certificate signed by G. B. Ross of the
Bureau of Animal Industry to the ef-
feet that the shipper is a member OF
a poultry club, organized under the
auspices of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and that the poul-
try is forwarded solely for exhibition
purposes.
Shipments as described may be re-
turned free to the original owner al
the initial point of shipment if &C
companied by a certificate from the
secretary of the fair to this effect.
This order, which is made by Su-
perintendent w. w. Owens and ap-
proved by Second Vice President f.
M. Williams, will be of considerable
assistance in making possible the sue
cess of the coming Charlotte and Raj
eigh fairs for which elaborate prep
rations are being made.

GOES TO
SUPREME COURT
Attorney-General Is Succeeded by
Texan, T. w. Gregory.

Washington.-The \ nomination of
James C. McReynolds, Attorney-Gen-
eral of the United States, to the Su-
preme Court to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the death of Associate Justice
Lurton was sent to the Senate.
Thomas Watt Gregory of Texas, who
for the last year has been employed
as a special assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral in charge of the New Haven
case, was chosen as the successor to
Mr.. McReynolds in President Wilson's
Cabinet.
The elevation of Mr.. McReynolds to
the Supreme bench marks the first
break in the Presidents official family
in the year and a half of it's life.
There has been no doubt ever since
the death of Justice Lurton but that
Mr.. McReynolds could have the place
on the bench If he wanted it. There
was a good deal of doubt, however,
that Mr.. McReynolds would care to
give up the Cabinet place and the
many plans he had mapped out for
the conduct of that Office. It was
only a few days ago that he finally
made up his mind to leave the Cabinet
and accept the appointment.
Mr. Gregory, the new Attorney-Gen-
eral, is So years old. He is supposed
to have had the strong backing of Col.
e. M. House, the Presidents friend
from Texas and New York.
Mr.. Gregory was graduated from
Southwestern Presbyterian Uniyersi-
ty at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, in 1888. He
was a special student at the Univer-
sity of Virginia and took his degree
of bachelor of law at the University of
Texas. He was admitted to the bar
in Texas in 1885 and has practised
there ever since.

GEN. CARRANzA
IN MEXICO CITY
Greeted by Cheering Crowds

Last Step In Triumph Of Revolution
Against Madero's Murderers Taken
First Chief Says Agrarian Re-
forms Will Be Put Into Effect.

Mexico City. - At last General
Venustiano Carranza, First Chief OF
the Constitutionalist revolution
against the murderers Of President
Francisco Madero which began II
months ago, Is in the capitol Of the
Republic.
The entry Of General Carranza with
his troops was received with great
enthusiasm.
When he passed the National Thea
ire, the cavalcade was halted while
the Constitutionalist leader received
from the labor leaders the flag Ma
dero lost In the last days Of his cam
paign.
The city was bedecked in gala
attire, festoons of flags sweeping
from every building and point Of
vantage. The streets were so throng-
ed with people that the progress Of
the triumphant parade was slow.
Although the enthusiasm knew no
bounds there was little disorder.
Upon arriving at the National Pal
ace, General Carranza reviewed the
army from the balcony and made a
brief speech to the dense crowd fill
ing the Plaza de Ia Constitution.
The First Chief declared the
agrarian and other reforms for which
the revolutionists had fought would
be put into effect as soon as possible
and he prophesied the dawn Of new
era of peace and prosperity for Mex
leo under a regime where every citi-
zen would be able to earn his living
without being enslaved to haviendados
or other exp1oiters.

FOREIGN SHIPS
ARE Let IN.
Registry Bill Excludes Them
From Coastwise Trade
HOUSE PLAN WINS OUT
President Authorized to Suspend Nav
igation Laws Requiring Officers OF
Ships to Be American Citizens
Remove Swear Restriction

Washington.-The Senate-amended
registry bill, containing the provision
allowing foreign-built vessels to en-
gage in coastwise trade was defeated
in the Senate by vote Of 40 to 20.
BY the same vote the House bill was
adopted, thereby opening the way to
American registry of foreign vessels
for operation in the transatlantic
trade.
This bill makes it possible to admit
foreign vessels to American registry
and thus provide an outlet for Ameri-
can grain and other products now pre-
vented, through lack Of ships, from
reaching the markets of Europe.
The bill enacts into law the Admin
istration plan to restore the transat-
lantic trade paralyzed by the Euro
pean war. 1t is also designed to
enlarge the American merchant ma
rine. Already the Hamburg-American
line has received proposals for the
purchase of certain of it's vessels now
in American waters, and the North
German Lloyd Line has announced
that it will sell some of it's ships. AID
ministration officials expect to see
many foreign-built ships come under
the American flag soon after Pres1-
dent Wilson signs the bill.
Under the terms of the House bill
the foreign built ships admitted to
registry in the United States will not
be entitled to enter the coastwise
trade of the United States. The House
bill which is the one that will be
enacted, amends the Panama Canal
act which admits to registry foreign
ships that have been built within five
years. The bill accepted removes the
five year restriction and will admit
all foreign built ships to American
registry for the oversee trade.
The House bill also authorizes the
President in his discretion when the
need of domestic commerce in his
Judgment require 1t, to suspend the
navigation laws of the United States
in SO far as they require the officers
of the foreign built ships shall be
American citizens and to waive the re-
Quirements for survey, measurement
and inspection by American officers.
The bill as it was presented by
Senator O'Gorman from the confer
ence committee was rejected 40 to
20. Immediately the New York Sen
ator moved to instruct the Senate
conferees to recede from the Senate
amendments which the Senate had
just disapproved and to concur in the
House bill.

liams, comptroller of the currencv
the 13 Southern States have received
but $8,768,00O of the additional or

the Aldrich-Vreeland act and under tho

According to the comptroller these

The comptroller Of the currency
calls attention to the fact that he
has received large number Of
applications from national banks in
the Southern States who are not
members of the national currency as
sociations for permission to issue at
ditional currency under the provision
of the Aldrich act and the Federal
reserve act. The comptroller has ad-
vised such banks that the secretary
of the treasury prefers that such ap-
plicatiens should come from some ma
tional currency association located in
the federal reserve district in which
the bank applying is located. In order
to be eligible to membership in such
association, national bank must
have a surplus equal to not less than
20 per cent, of it's capital.
In the fifth federal reserve district
with headquarters at Richmond, in
which North Carolina is located, the
National Currency Association Of
North Carolina with headquarters at
Raleigh, has already been fromed.
The comptroller of the currency is
DESTROYS that all national banks in
North Carolina which are not men,
bers of this association should take
steps to join, and that all applications
for the issuance of additional cur
rency under the Aldrich law should
be made through the national cur
rency. association of the state rather
than by individual national banks.

this that one is the strongest"
When asked to speak regarding tho
Mexican situation, Gen. Huerta closed
his lips tightly and made the sign Of
the cross, as If putting the seal on.
He said in English: Excuse me;
nothing"
Gen. Huerta has not visited the
