Interests in New Hampshire
Are Divided On Con-
solidation
SAVINGS BANKS
VITALITY INTERESTED
These Are Likely to De-
mand a Stock Assess
ment

Concord, N. H., Aug. 5.-Following the
announcement of an agreement by the
Boston g. Maine and leased lines in New
Hampshire on bill permitting their
consolidation, to be submitted to the
New Hampshire legislature, in case Gov
ernor Spaulding calls a special session,
there was renewed activity in the capt.
tai city yesterday among the opponents
and friends of consolidation. The lead
ers, however, would say nothing until
they had seen the terms of the bill. One
of the strong opponents of the measure
at the last session stated that he would
not oppose the bill if it had the approval
Of the stockholders of the leased lines,
but there is little probability that any
stockholders meetings of the various
roads involved will be called. Meetings
of the directors, however, will pass upon
the bill as agreed upon, and much de-
ponds on their action
vitality interested in the measure are
the savings banks of New Hampshire, A
OF them holding large amount OF leased
line stocks. Those in the larger cities,
like Concord and Manchester, declare no
Dill van IN pdSStAl W iiN1l hONS NV PtNfAN~
for the absolute clearing up OF the Bos-
ton & Maine indebtedness by stock as
sessment. The striking point in the re-
cent conferences was whether all of this
assessment should be applied for this
purpose, or whether part of it might be
used for underwriting. working capital,
etc. The modified bill meets the wishes
of the Boston & Maine in this respect.
The Boston d Maine eontended that it
was economically unsound to provide
only for payment of debts and provide
no working capital.
Governor Spaulding is expected here
to-day, and his statement that he would
be in no hurry to call an extra session
of the legislature has met with general
approval. Yesterday the leased lines
were preparing for a canvass of the
stockholders, who are scattered all over
the state, and much depends on their
attitude. Most of these stockholders
will consult with the bankers, and If
the terms of the bill are such as TO sat
isfy the bankers that the measure is a
good one for New Hampshire interests,
steps viii be taken TO bring their views
before the governor next week.

Pan-American Nations Ac-
cept the Invitation to
Confer.
WAS PRESENTED
THEM JUNE 30
The Program Includes a
Ban on War
Supplies

Washington, Aug. 5.-Interest in to-
davis conference on the Mexican problem
between Secretary Lansing and dlpIo'
matte representatives OF six Latm-Amer-
lean countries was heightened yesterday
as further details of the origin OF the
plan for Joint cooperation in pacify-
ing the southern republic came to light
One of the latest developments is the
fact that decision to ask all Of Central
and South America in settling the Mex
lean difficulty was reached by President
Wilson in June, when his warnings to
the warning factions to settle their dill
eulties and restore peace were UNDECIDED
The diplomats were invited June 30 to
participate in conference, while the
appeal to the Mexican factions was
made June 2. Announcement was with
held, however, pending the sanctlonlng
OF the plan by the Latin.American ma
tions.
1t was considered likely Yesterday that
the first step in the presidents plan
which will be submitted to the conferees
by Secretary Lansing win be a last APP
peal to the factions to end the strife
and arrange for a settled government
If any factions fail to heed the warn
ing the plan is said to include extension
of moral and financial support to other
factions. The plan is said to include
also restoration of the ban on war mu-
nitions to the revolving factions and a
demand that the railroad line between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City be kept open
for the transportation of food supplies
to the starving people Of the capital
Failure to do this might result in joint
steps by the United States and the Latin
American nations to take physical con
troll of the capital and the railroad and
to hold them pending restoration OF
peace.

NO 4PEAcE PLAN" TO WILSON.
Miss Jane Adams Denies She Has Ever
Asked President to Act.

Chicago. Aug. 5.--Miss Jane Adams,
president of the world peace congress OF
women at The Hague, Tuesday night de.
MED she ever had submitted peace
plan" to President Wilson or had asked
him to act as mediator in the present
war. At the same time she gave hint
of the confidential associations she es-
tablished with the chancellories OF Eu-
rope on her famous interviewing tour OF
the capitals following the adjournment
OF the congress.
Miss Adams also ridiculed statements
attributed to William Reichert OF Chi
cago, vice president of the Teutonic Sons
OF America, who was quoted in Washing
ton dispatches as saying Miss Adams
had proposed to the president that he
act as mediator between England and
Germany.
During my hours conference at the
White House. Miss Adams said. Il sim
ply laid before Mr.. Wilson the result OF
nv experiences and interviews with lead
ers Of thought in Europe.
Il told the president in detail what
various persons we had interviewed had
said, and he seemed very much inter
ested. | told him of the resolutions
adopted at the women's peace conference
and tried TO put the situation before
him as | had gathered it abroad. Our
whole object is to substitute negotla-
tions for fighting.
Il simply expressed nay belief that If
nd gtf in
neutral country, survey the whole sub
icct from the standpoint OF the needs
of the situation--not from a nationalist
viewpoint-and then submit a PROPOSE
ton to each of the powers involved, IT
would open the way to negotiations and
might lead to ultimate peace. As a
matter of fact, ] believe it would be
better il this commission should be APP
pointed bv some international body, such
as the Judges of the neutral countries
represented in The Hague court, or by
the interparliamcntary union. II is not
necessary for the president to name II.
The whole crux OF the situation Is
this: The warning nations at present
are not even being tempted 10 peace.

What to Eat that Will Help Your Good
Looks.

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion appears a highly practical and
exceedingly interesting article by Alice
Farnham Leader, New York physician,
entitled ''Health and Good Looks" The
author gives rules for the girl who wants
to look her best. She says that health
depends upon food, sleep and fresh air,
and not upon pills and prescriptions, and
part of what she has to say is reproduced
as follows:
Right eating does not mean giving
up the foods you like; it means balanc-
ing your menu to get the full value OF
all foods. The general mixed diet OF
wholesome food will, as a rule, give
more nourishment and strength than
overeating OF one kind of food. II you
find some meat disagreeable with you,
by all means give it up, but don't
straightway conclude that you must be-
come a vegetarian in order TO remain
we'll
"Strike a midway course; if you like
meat eat it, but in moderation as rule
only once a day. Fried meat is always
indigestible, so avoid it and confine your
self to that which has been roasted,
hroiled or stewed.
Vegetables are worth their weight in
doctors fees. Eat plentifullly of them,
except when they are cooked by frying.
This method of cooking not only robs
tho food of it's health value but sur
rounds it with elogging grease"
