STRONG WORDS FROM EAST
MIDDLEBURY.

Editor Middlebury Register:
received the Supplement to the
Register with the acts passed by the
last session of the legislature and it
reminds me of what the boy was told to
read in school, "The making of many
books is wearisome to the flesh" He
rendered it, 1.-The making of many
brooks is wearisome to the fish.
So also the making of many laws is
wearisome to the people.
| had the privilege of helping to
make the change from annual to BIZ
ennial sessions, and it would have been
good job if it had been changed to
quadrennial If we continue having
such long winded spendthrift sessions
and such pack-horse bundles of laws
passed, it will make Vermont just
what Stephen A. Douglas said it was,
"A good State to emigrate from. "

PRESIDENT SPOONER

The resignation of President Charles
H. Spooner of Norwich University which
was rendered last November, and which
was accepted at the last meeting of the
of deep regret to many of the people of
the town, as well as to large portion
of the alumni.
During the eleven years that Presi-
dent SpOoner has been a citizen of the
town, he has Unidentified himself with all
movements which stood for the advance
ment of the village; he has given freely
of his time and strength in the promotion
of better literature and a higher class
Of entertainments in the village and at
the university.
His generosity in serving the Norwich
University during the investigation of
the educational bill and the quiet, unas-
Stunning, yet efficient manner in which
he met and refuted the untruthfu state
mcnts made in the Carnegie foundation
report, won him the deep respect of all
and the appreciation of those connected
with Norwich He worked untirlngly
to defend the right of Norwich to State
aid against her assailants, and it was I'M
doubtlessly largely through his efforts
that the committee reported favorably
upon the bill appropriating a continuous
sum to the institution.
The erroneous statement of his il
health being the cause of his resignation
was undoubtedly due to his temporary
illness at the time It was acted upon
As matter of fact President Spoonel
is a man in the prime of life, in tht
fullest possession Of all his strength ans
vigor and his service at Norwich ha!
only served to fiji him for larger anC
broader field of activity. President
Spooner has shown himself to be ;
scholar and always a gentleman, one
who will be missed wherever there is ;
gathering of the intellectual, and hii
place in the community will be hard t
fill.

PRICE FORECAST.

The department of agriculture warns
producers of potatoes that there is a
surplus in sight, and this is reflected in
the price, which is about a third less
than year ago. There is widespread
belief that the potato farmers who
are holding their tubers for higher
prices will find themselves with sur
plus on hand when the southern pota-
toes come into the market. The agri-
cultural department predicts lower
prices for potatoes and all truck crops

THE SUMNER CAPITAL.

The official summer residence of the
president of the United States will again
be Cornish, N Windsor, Vt, even
though the official summer capital may
not be located there; and the selection
of that beautiful region for the summer
residence means that the executive is
likely to be present at intervals during
the summer, if not for continuous stay
of any considerable duration. There
fore, Windsor can afford to trade upor
its distinguished reputation once more

The Massachusetts forestry associa-
ton has naugurated a campaign for
planting shade trees along the lne of
the State highways and connecting
links on a 325-mile circuit, beginning
at Boston and extending through
Worcester, Springfield, Pittsfeld,
North Adams. Greenfield, Fitch
burg, Cambridge and back to Bos-
ton again. This is the most ambitious
project of the kind ever undertaken in
this country. The association is taking
a long look to the future, but it does
not require a vivid imagination to pic
ture the beauties which future genera
tions would enjoy with miles and miles
of symmetrical trees shading the high
ways.

RIGGS AND MISS CAROLINE
STEELE.
The following letter from Mr.. George
M. Randle of Philadelphia will interest
the many Middebury friends of him
and his nieces to whom he refers Miss
Caroline Steele and Mrs. Charles Riggs,
formerly Miss Mary Steele:
"Carolile and sailed for CONSTANT
nople in May. | returned in July, ar
irving home the dav war was declared
leaving Caroline to come in September
She had her troubles as had every one
else, no money could be obtained and no
way of getting out. Finally she secured
passage on an empty collier unloading
coal at an island on the Bosphorus and
with eight others landed at Cardiff,
Wales, after voyage of sixteen days.
They had many exp ,liences and ad
ventures The Dardanelles were mined
and they were taken through on pilot
boat. They were boarded by the war
ships, and in the Bay of Biscay ran into
a five day storm and tossed about like a
cork. She was not allowed to land at
Cardiff as she was an alien, but after a
delay of twenty-four hours succeeded in
getting off. She reached Liverpool at
two o'clock Sunday morning and with
three of her friends secured steerage
passage for Boston. At Queenstown
some of the second cabin passengers
failed to snow up so they got into second
cabin and reached Boston in good
shape.
Caroline is now in Montclair, n. j.,

larly every week. 1t takes five weeks
instead of two, the normal time. Up to
March everything was quiet ard they
were not anticipating trouble. All
letters are censored, hers and ours, and
all are mailed unsealed. She writes of
home and social events but does not
touch on war or politics, as the slightest
reference to either is cut out by the
censor. We have lost parts of her
letters several times We are not worry
ing much and we hope they will not be
in danger If the Dardanelles are
forced 600 miles away and if the
Russians force the forts at the Black

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

to sufficiently nourish both body and

natures demands are greater than in

unmistakable earnestness: They need

add that he became an active member

THE "STATE UNIVERSITY. u
St. Adams MESSENGER.

Is President Benton bent on contin-
ually referring to the University of
Vermont as the Estate University
with the hope that the phrase will be-
come so common to the lips of Yer.
monters that they will accept the
words as exactly describing the uni
versity's status without giving the
matter another thought? If the State
won't adopt the university, perhaps the
university intends to adopt the State.

The AIdermaniC Committee on
Streets and Sewers is to-
Take Action at Once.

Plans for erection of guard rails
or fences along bulkheads between
Market and Gordon streets and near
the foot of Lewis street will be push
ed at once, according to action taken
at an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night. The
subject was placed in the hands Of
the committee on streets and sewers
for immediate action. A recent acci-
dent near the foot of Market street
and the apparent danger, especially
for children. at the foot of Lewis
street prompted the city fathers to
take immediate steps for the work.
Kelly Breaches Subject.
Alderman John w. Kelly broached
the subject, stating that fence or
guard rail was necessary along the
bulkhead on the easterly side of
Front street between Market and
Gordon streets. He declared that
there was danger of people falling
on to the shore at low water and into
the bay at high tide. Alderman
William c. Wilson and City Attorney
Andrew J. Wight cited the necessity
of a fence along the bulkhead at the
easterly side of Water street, near
the easterly end of Lewis street. Mr..
Wight stated that the water was six
feet deep at that point at times and
held that it was dangerous for adults

badly oppose Alderman John w.

Chris Anderson in the fourth ward.
The new candidates are scheduled to

Mr.. Christopher win become the
third and independent candidate in
the second ward. He so declared
himself today, stating that he had
been urged by friends to such an ex-
tent that he could not resist and
would have 10 make the run. This

Paris, Sept. 28:-The greatest bat
ties of the year on the western front
are being waged today with even
more furious attacks than charac-
terized the beginning of the Anglo
French onslaught Having
gered the Kaiser's armies with one
mighty smash, the allies drew back
and reformed for another blow.
That explains the apparent slack
ening of the offensive indicated in
yesterdays communication. The sec
ond stroke was made last night with
artillery cannonading and infantry
leaping to the attack. Dispatches re-
ceiVed here during the night said the
Germans were yielding ground yard
by yard in the Champagne, fighting
bravely, but going down thick and
fast before massed charges of French
bayonets.
Can't Check Advance.
The enemy has made several at
tempts to stem the advance by food
ing the area before their trenches
with clouds of aspyxiating gases.
High winds swept the yapors away as
they left the German trenches. The
chalky hills of the Champagne region
are throwing up great white clouds
OF dust under constant hammering of
French and German shells. Dead and
wounded are being mantIed by a
snow white powder spotted with
crimson. The Germans are battling
desperately in the Champagne to save
the railroad towards which the Kai-
ser's armies have been moving sirce
ca " Saturday. All the Ftenr h
gains are Scing held and newly cap
tured positions Improved to meet
counter attacks. To tie north the
British are reported to be making
further progress under the greatest
difficulties. Strongest defensive

and south of Souchez, approaching
the hills held by the Germans in
those regions
French troops stOrmed strongly
fortified second line trenches at seV-
eral points in the Champagne region.
At other sections of the Champagne
front the French inflicted heavy loss
es on the enemy, though they were
unable in some instances to pierce
the strong German wire defense. The
attempt Of the crown prince to divert
the French from the Champagne by
attacking in the Argonne region
proved fruitless. During last night
French troops took the offensive in
the Argonne and recaptured nearly
all the trench section taken by the
crown princes army. The crown
prince threw eighteen battalions
against the French lines around the
hill known as The Daughter Of
Death and elsewhere in the Ar
gonne. When the Germans finally
retired to their trenches the slopes of

sBscial TO the EVENING NEwa


Trenton, Sept. 28:-Warring fac
tions of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are in grips today at
the polls of the statewide primary
election, to determine which faction
shall nominate the candidates to be
voted for at the general election
Tuesday, November 2, incidentally to
gain control of the party leadership
and also to elect the members OF the
twenty-one county committees. The
voting today is the elimination OF a
campaign that has ragged with un-
usual bitterness for an "off political
year, this being due to fierce strug-
gle in each party to gain vantage
point for the big fight next year when
for the first time in it's history New
Jersey will vote for a President, a
United States senator and gov
ernor.
The polls opened in every one of
the 1900 election districts at
o'clock this morning and will re-
main open until 9 o'clock tonight. Re-
ports at noon showed that in the
rural sections and in those counties
where no particular factional con-
tests or other big questions are in
volved, the voting is comparatively
light, but in Atlantic, Camden, Mer-
Ger, Essex, Passaic, Hudson, Union
and the other counties where the
party fights exist, the workers of the
different factions are getting out a
goodsized vote
Fight in Atlantic County.
IN Atlantic county, with the two
assembly candidates as the CHIEF
bone of contention, the Republicans
have a contest which involves the ri
valry of State Senator Edge and
Speaker Carlton Godfrey, both of At
lantic City. Godfrey is a candidate
for denomination and is opposed by
the friends of Senator Edge, who
hope to see the senator nominated
next year for governor or United
States senator, to which ever office
he may aspire. Senator Edge has
been endorsed by the Republican
county committee and the outlook is
that even if Speaker Godfrey is re-
nominated and elected, he will not
carry the. party organization away

AUSTRIA RECALLS
DR.. DUhBA TODAY
Telegram Received from Am
baSSadOr This Morning by
State Department.
HIS RECALL WILL BE FINAL
Steps Taken to Get Safe
Transportation for Him-To
Leave on October 5.
Special 6y United Press wire.

Special by United Press Wire
Washington, Sept. 28.-Unconditional
recall of American Ambasss dor Dumba
was announced at the state department
today. A telegram was received this
morning from Dumba at the state de-
partment, saying that he had been re-
called by his government and asking
that safe-conduct be secured.
Austrian Foreign Minister Burian
.Gid the Austrian government would re
call Dumba as requested and asked
Penfeld that safe conduct be secured
for Dumba.
This removed all possibility of him
being recalled on leave of absence t.
give an explanation.
Foreign Minister Burian also advised
Penfeld that as a matter of course
Dumba S recall would be final.
Has Been Officially Advised.
Acting Secretary Polk announced
that last Saturday American Ambas-
sador Penfeld had been officially
advised by Foreign Minister Burian
that the Austrian government would
recall Dumba as requested and ask
ed Penfield that a safe conduct be
secured for the envoy. Dumba stated
he would leave October from New
York. Foreign Minister Burian also
advised Penfield that as a matter of
course Dumbas recall would be final.
This removed all possibility of Dunn
ba being recalled for only leave of
absence Polk also stated today that
a safe conduct for Dumba had been
arranged by allied embassies here
and woufu Ue forwarded to Lenox,
Mass.
Penfeld advised the depa@..---- ant
that appointment of a successor to
Dumba has already been taken up by
the Austrian foreign Office and an
nouncement is expected within few
days. Officials would not indicate
today what steps are being consider
ed against others involved in the
correspondence found on Archibald,
Dumba's messenger. Archibald him
self will not be allowed to leave the
country again. This was officially
stated by a high official today.
Incident is Closed.
That the Dumba incident is now
regarded as closed was officially an
nounced at the department today.
The administration regards the un-
conditional recall as complete and
fully satisfactory. There will proba
bly, be no other formal note or action
by Austria. or communication with
Dumba other than forwarding the
safe conduct
Until today the state department
was uncertain whether formal noti-
fication of the recall would come
from the Austrian government
direct.
