TURKS SAID TO
BE DISCOURAGED
Optimistic Reports from PEN
insula-Few Weeks Will See
Allies Most Difficult
Task Done.

London. Aug. 24.-Optimistic reports con.
corning operations on the Gallipoli penin-
sula have been in circulation for the past
few days and prophesies are freely made
that few weeks will see the close OF the
allies most difficult task In the near east
The Turks. too, expect the Anglo French
forces to be successful, IL news reaching
Sofia from Constantinople is reliable.
In fact it is felt here now that so far
as the Dardanelles are concerned 1t Is q
matter of indifference to the allies wheth-
err the Balkan States lend hand. Their
assistance is wanted. however. against
Austria and also to shorten Turkish re-
sistance il the straits are opened For
these reasons negotiations with the near
interest and the decision Of Serbia on the
proposals Of the quadruple entente for
satisfying the aspirations OF Bulgaria
which will be reached at council of min
listers tomorrow. Is anxiously awaited.
1t Is believed In London that Serbia's
reply will prove satisfactory and that Bull,
garia's cooperation will be assured This
would open the way also for an active pol
Icy on the part OF Roumania who wants
assurances Bulgaria will not attack her
1t is confidently expected all these pues-
tons will be settled satisfactorily to the
allies and that within the same period tn,
future policy Of Greece will be definitely
announced
In the meantime Austro- German arm
les are aiming more heavy blows at
Russia In the hope Of putting her on the
defensive indefinitely and permitting the
removal of some of their own troops to
other fronts. particularly Serbia and
italy, in the hope OF repeating their
eastern successes. The Russians are
encouraged. however, by their naval VIC
tory in the Gulf Of Riga which has de-
layed Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
great out-ha nking movement through
Courland and are offering very stiff re-
sistance at almost every point in the
Baltic provinces,

the points which had been a stumbling
block to Senator Dillingham; also GO
ing over the need of federal action to
put all women in the country in a po

the disability of women voters moving

SOME ROAD SUGG
(From the Barre Times)

Some splendid suggestions as regards
the maintenance of highways are given
by the Greenfield (Mass) Gazette to Mass
achusetts towns and the suggestions are
so applicable to Vermont towns in the
hilly sections that they are herewith
given
The damage done to roads by the rains
will bring a heavy burden on many OF the
smaller towns, AS "A general thing. the
poorer the town, the more II suffers by
this kind of damage. 1t is usually the most
sparsely settled towns that have the hard

CONGRESSMAN GREENES ADVICE
(From the Barton Monitor)

Editor Stone Of the Springfield Reporter
should have heard all that Congressman
Greene said at the Press association ban
quet before dieagreeirg entirely with him
in his expressed belief that Vermont news
papers should discuss national affairs more
than now He said frankly that his ideas
on the subject had changed and that he
was now looking at the matter from a
different angle His contention was that
Vermont newspapers discussed State mat
tiers so exclusively that there was no
means of learning where Vermont as 81
unit stood u regard to national questions
lie said It was embarrassing, and not
alone that, but ofttmes a distinct disad-
vantage to the state that no consensus
of opinion from the State press was avail
able as Is the case in most States The
nation depends So largely upon the collec
tive opinion Of the press of different sec.
tions of the country that 1t leaves a sort
of blank or void when 1t comes to get
ting Nermont's opinion. In short Greene 5
advice was not SO much to discuss Yer
monts affairs less but to study and dis
cuss national affairs more.
