Russia's New Fortified Line of Defense
 Ready for Occupation.

Ready for Occupation. London, Aug 2S, 2:55 a. m.-The Russians new fortified line of defense is now ready for occupation, says a despatch from the Petrograd corres- pondent of the Daily Mail. The mes sage continues: 'The war office in discussing the Russian retreat asserts that everywhere it has been conducted exactly in accordance with the Rus sian staff's plan without pressure from the Germans, without haste and without serious loss. Rear guard ac- tions and occasional sudden bursts of Russian offensive have served to guide the German advance along channels and according to time table dic- tated by the Russian staff.'
 "Orders have been issued calling about 3,OOO,OOO more men to the colors for training.''

| In his letter in the American Profes-
sor Theodore s. Woolsey the eminent
authority on international law, places
| his finger on the vital point in the con-
troyersy with Germany.
| This vital point is whether there must

der the rules as respected by every civ

flag may be flown. Without search des-
tination cannot be ascertained. Without
search whether the vessel is armed or
unarmed cannot be learned, although the
law applicable TO the two is radically
different. Without search it cannot be
known whether contraband is aboard, or
whether or not the cargo is of neutral
or belligerent ownership.
The duty of searching is lifted only
under two circumstances ID When
the vessel refuses TO stop on signal, or
t2l when il is conveyed by armed yes.

mediately attack without regard to who
may be aboard. Otherwise international
law is fatty violated if search is omit

requirement. The issue is
as to whether international law must be |

Biddings for the National Conventions.

oeratie national convention gather in
the Lone Star state Dallas offers $780,
600 to the Democratic national commit
tee, and agrees to provide a meeting
place capable OF seating $4,000 visitors.
The appeal constitutes an advertisement
for Dallas, and that is all. The Hous-
ton Chronicle is a mighty rooter for
Texas, but it is compelled TO admit that
as a matter of political wisdom the ma
tional convention ought not TO 90 there,
as it certainly will not, AS things now

Woodrow Wilson for president. But to
ask the delegates to make the long
Journey TO Texas in order to do il would
be an imposition sure TO be resented. IL
l. as good as settled that Chicago will
again be the Democratic meeting place.
Ample experience has proved it TO be the
most convenient and acceptable of all
the cities where conventions have been
held.
Philadelphia is making a strong bid
for the Republican convention, on the
ground that too many unpleasant Re-
publican memories would have TO be
faced in Chicago. There is something
Of q revival of protectionism in the Re-
publican party, but whether il is suffi.

Bryan's way.

| believe that large majority of the
people will heartily approve OF any steps
that the president may see fit to take to
keep Americans out of the danger zone
w. j. Bryan.
Just where is this danger zone and
what is its latitude and longitudeg Mr.,
Bryan, of course, cannot tell, because
the German government does not tell.
But what right would the president have
to prevent Americans from going to the
British Isles or from crossing portion
of the high seas adjacent to the British
Isles? The United States is at peace
with Great Britain, the British coasts
are not blockaded and the high seas are
the common possession of mankind. The
president might advise Americans not to
go to England until the war is over, he
might request them not to as a personal
favor to him, but If they chose to 20
just the same, could the government OF

edge in an agreement with Germany that

The Automobile Road Hogs.

The number of road hogs in the ranks
OF the automobilists of Vermont is larg-
er than it should be. These people whiz
by another car at high speed and stick
to the middle of the highway at the
same time, leaving those whom they
approach the alternative of going into
the ditch or being reduced to pile of
junk The suggestion that law abiding
automobiles take the numbers of the
porcine speeders and write to the Sec
rotary of state, informing him that the
driver of the car bearing the number
is careless driver is pretty good
one. II complaints enough were re-
ceiyed about the holder of license num-
Der who suffered under the delusion
that he owned the whole highway were
received, the secretary viii begin TO
think that it is time to do something
in regard to the matter. Next time a
road hog makes you take to the gutter,
get his number. Montpelier Argus.

IS PATIENTS EXAMINED.
In Infantile Paralysis Clinic at St. AL
bans.


st. Adams, July l5.--Thirty-fve pa.
tients were examined at the clinic on
infantile paralysis conducted at the hos
pital in this city yesterday by DIR. Rob-
ert w. Lovett of Boston, an eminent
orthopedic surgeon and specialist. DIR.
Lovett was accompanied by Miss w. G.
Wright, his assistant, who was with him
on his trip TO Vermont last winter !;
also by DIR. +. G. Martin, assistant SUI
perintendent Of the department of phys
iology at the Harvard medical school,
and the latter's assistant, Miss Jane
Merrill.
Over 35 patients were examined here
yesterday, all but three being cases UNI
der observation last winter, when So
patients were examined. This is an I'M
usually high percentage. DIR. Loyett
stating that generally not more than "a
or 20 per cent of the cases return for
denomination At the clinics held at
Barton and Montpelier this week not as
large percentage returned as in this
city. Not all the three new cases ex
amined proved to be infantile paralysis
Of those that returned improvement in
some cases very marked, was noted.
Only one patient was worse than last
winter and in that case the boy had
not worn the shoes with heels as rec
and the result was a badly
ieformed foot on which an operation
will be necessary.

II is unfortunate that successful effort:
cannot be made to suppress the writers
of anonymous letters threatening all
sorts of dire destruction 10 ships, public
buildings and officials of state; and if
the writers are found to be so-called
practical jokers they should be dealt
with even more severely than persons
who meant business by their threats
but who failed of the capability to carry
cut their purpose. This sort of joke
is about the most miserable and COW.
srdly that could be perpetrated.
