Of chittenden County, VI, Tells How
eAe Keeps His Blood Pure.

Bailiff Romeo A. Norton, Hunting
ton Centre, VT. says:
Il am enjoying good health, keeping
my blood pure by the use of Hoods
Sarsaparilla. It is the best, and l
always have it in the house.
81 was completely laid up with
intiammatory rheumatism. I tried
several different medicines, and en-
ployed a skilful doctor, but did not get
any better. Having known about
Hoods Sarsaparilla for fifteen years,
I concluded to give it a trial After
taking the first bottle I began to i'm
prove, so 1 took several bottles more,
and was entirely cured. I have the
utmost confidence in this medicine as
a blood purifier and spring tonic"
Rheumatism depends on uric acid
in the blood, and thousands of cases
have been successfully treated with
Hoods Sarsaparilla which purifies
and enriches the blood and builds up
the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
combination of blood-purifying and
strength giving substances. No other
medicine has the same formula or in
gradients. 1t is an all-the-year
round constitutional remedy and the
best spring medicine.
Accept no substitute, but get Hoods
and get it today.

''The sinking of the Lusitania pre-
sents TO the United States the greatest
probe m in her history" said Gov. Ferris
of Michigan in a statement issued May
10th. This correctly states the existing
conditions, which call for careful and
prayerful consideration. Such consider
alton President Wilson is now giving the
matter while awaiting full details of an
incident which has stirred the people OF
this country as nothing has done, not
even the loss of the Titanic, since the U.
S. battleship Maine was sunk in the har
Dor of Havana, and has aroused the in
dlgnation of the civilized world.
AT a gathering of 1900 naturalized
Americans in Philadelphia last Monday
night President Wilson gave the first in
timation of the course which the United
States government probably will pursue
in the situation resulting from the loss of
more than a hundred lives on the British
liner Lusitania. He spoke by implics-
ton, but his hearers interpreted his re-
marks as meaning that while the United
States would remain at peace, it would
seek to convince Germany of the injus-
tice to mankind of the tragedy of last
Friday.
AT the Cabinet meeting Tuesday Presi-
den, Wilson listened to the expressions of
the members as to the policy that should
be adopted in this crisis. but did not an
nounce his policy. The impression was
gained in executive quarters after the
cabinet meeting that while the President
had not definitely determined upon the
exact course he would follow. he had
practically decided to ask Germany to
furnish some assurance or guarantee that
there would be no repetition of the Lusi-
tania tragedy, which would mean that
unarmed merchant vessels with neutral
passengers aboard would at least be
visited and searched and nom combatants
removed to place Of safety before the
The Republican journal., 1915-05-13

Subsidies to British vessels, lower
wages and cheaper food, had practically
driven American shipping out of the for
eign carrying trade and caused our deep
sea merchant marine to be reduced al
most to rothingness. When the Europ-
can war began England, having the
ships, her large shipowners began to
pile up profits at the rate of $500, 900 or
over month, and one firm, at least, is
reported to have averaged practically
million dollars month since the begin
ming of the war. Now they are encoun-
tering competition from an unexpected
source. A London shipping journal says:
For the last few years, the Greeks have
been steadily buying ships, and they now
have very considerable merchant ma
rine. They can take full advantage of
the high rates, and do not have to face
the risks British shippers do, nor pay the
extra wages

Must we go to war with Germany?''
asks the New York Herald In an edi-
torial on another page, written before the
Lusitania horror had further inflamed
public sentiment against country which
regards treaty as ''scrap of paper, ="
disregards international law and violates
all the rules of civilized warfare. The
Herald is not yellow journal, not given
to sensationalsm, and is independent
and conservative in its editorial columns.
The article reprinted from the Toronto,
Canada, Mail and Empire, also written
before the sinking of the Lusitania,
gives expression to belief, common in
this country, that Germany is trying to
involve this country in the European
war: and it is evident that she has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose should
she succeed in that endeavor. We have
no troops to send to the aid of the allies;
our navy is not needed, and our commerce
would be crippled and our export trade
reduced to naught. Still the time is
coming, if it has not already arrived,
when every civilized nation on the face
of the globe should unite to crush
dynasty which is a menace to the whole
world.
The Republican journal., 1915-05-13

ships destruction as prize. Whether
the request for guarantee for the fu-
ture would be accompanied by demand
for full reparation to the families of the
American victims or whether actionvn
the Lusitanla case itself would be post
poned until Germany's attitude toward
the first request was disclosed, are steps
which the President is understood not yet
to have settled IN his own mind.
Germany, through Ambassador Ger
ard notified the United States. May 18th
that submarine commanders had been
specifically instructed not to harm neu-
trail vessels not engaged in hostile acts,
and that Germany would pay for dam
ages to such ships in the war zone.
Neutral ships carrying contraband will
be dealt with, the announcement says,
according to the rules Of naval warfare.
If neutral ships are accident)y damaged
in the war zone, Germany will express
its regret and pay damages without prize
court proceedings. The German govern
ment justifies its submarine warfare on
the ground that England is threatening
to starve the civilian population of Ger
many by prohibiting neutral commerce
in foodstuffs and other necessaries.
In previous communications Germany
has disclaimed responsibility for any
harm that might befall neutral vessels
venturing into the war zone.
This announcement will not, it is be-
lieved, have any effect upon the note to
be addressed to Germany in which repara-
ton will be asked for the wrongs she has
already done and a remuneration of her
undersea warfare on innocent people.
Further action must of course be defer
red until after the receipt of German y 8
reply. If, as generally believed, Ger
many is DESTROYS of provoking a war
with this country, to serve her own in
terests, war should be avoided if posi-
BILE, and that will no doubt be the policy
of the administration.
