That nothing short Of the official state
ments of the belligerents can be taken
for their face value, and even those
should sometimes be discounted, is
learned from the report which came out
of Athens that King Constantine had abb
dieated his throne in favor OF his son
and that former Premier Venzelos was
to become the power behind the throne.
1t now appears that the report was wide
of the truth and that King Constantine
is still on the throne, with Venizelos still
cooling his heels as he waits for his time
to come The original report was sent
out by the so-called accredited represen-
tative of the entente allies, whose bus
mess it was to do the publicity work.
Hereafter anything which comes out over
the signature of Ward Price will have to
be taken and discounted

the donor open to the charge OF using
charity for the sake of the stakes in the
game OF. politics. The charge might not
have the least foundation in reality but
there is, of course, the possibility of de-
veloping a suspicion in the minds of a
great many people. If President Will
sons gilt had been announced two years
ago such suspicion would scarcely have
arisen and Wilson would have received
the credit which well-intentioned deed
deserves to bring upon the performer.

CURRENT COMMENT
Plattsburg Maneuvres Valuable.

As the men 90 off for the last OF this
years Plattsburg camps, more than three
hundred recruits from Massachusetts,
alone, there is room for still another
point of comment on the good the Platts-
burg movement is doing. 1t looks to a
consideration, which has probably had
little place in the minds OF these advo-
Gates of preparedness as they started
away for the toll and the pleasure OF
their training. And since it is not OF
strictly military consequence it is per-
haps as well that it should not have
been much regarded. These training
camps all over the country must always
be first of all intended to contribute ef-
fectively to American preparedness and
to the spread OF information on military
matters among class of men whose
possession Of such information will do
the most good But there is another
and strictly civic aspect OF the value OF
Plattsburg which ought to be taken into
the count. Consider the number of men
who have been brought and will be
brought by the training camps into an
intimacy, a deiiniteness, OF relationship
to the United States government such as
most of them never even guessed in the
past OF military character in its orig
inal nature this relationship is bound,
however. to express itself in a new and
more responsible attitude on the part OF
the men toward civic matters. toward
their public duty wherever it may pre-
sent itself. and toward the flag and name
OF the nation. General Wood, planning
these camps for the good Of the army
and for the good of the men who at
tend them. has builded in a way that
brings. an increment OF good to the whole
nation in more ways than one Boston

THE PRIMARY NEXT TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday, Sept. IL, the voters OF
Vermont are called to the polling places
in their respective towns in order to Sc
lect candidat ties to be voted for at the
regular election in November; and it is
quite important that there should be a
large percentage of the vote out on that
day, particularly in the Republican
party, where there are several contests
for nominations. In that party the gov
ernorship nomination goes to Horace f.
Graham, present state auditor, without
the semblance of a struggle. For the
second place on the ticket there are two
candidates, John L. Weeks, recently
speaker of the Vermont House, and Rog
er W Hulburd of Morristown. The next
position on the state ticket over which
there is contest is that of state auditor,
the two men being Thomas II. Cave, jr..
OF Barre and Benjamin Gates of Mont
pelier Outside OF the state ticket, there
is very important choice to be made
of a candidate to run for election to the
United States Senate, there being three
candidates, as follows: Allen VI. fetch
er. former governor of Vermont, Charles
w. Gates, the present executive, and
Carroll S. Page, the present senator, who
hopes TO succeed himself in the position.
These three contests, particularly the
ast-named. are Of sufficient Importance
to attract a very large Republican vote
and il is to be expected that there will
be a representative turnout Of the vot-
ers Of that party 1t Is not expected
however. that the Democrats viii vote
in very large fraction Of their total be-
cause Of the fact that the slate was long
since made up and there is no opposi-
tion; but the time may come when the
Democrats viii develop some contests Of
their own and So it would he just a. wen
10 get the habit II going to tie polls on
primary dsy. We especially urge the
Republicans to turn cut because OF the
importance vt the decisions to b. made.

The death OF a parachute performer at
the Rutland fair Wednesday afternoon
follows closely the serious injury to two
persons at the Maine state fair at Lew
iston. The two occurrences bring sharp
" to attention the desirability OF hav-
ing a licensing system for balloonists
and parachute performers, by means Of
which it may be possible to weed out
the careless as well as the inefficient per-
formers. OF course it would not be pos
sible to eliminate accidents because the
frailties of equipment must be always
reckoned with; but there is opportunity
TO reduce the casualties from this dare
devil occupation Of making people cape
with astonishment.

1t has been an accepted custom, since
Washington county became entitled to
three senators, for Montpelier and Barre
to alternate on one of the three, the
other two being selected from other sec
tons of the county. Following this GUS
tom Montpelier would be entitled to a
senator this year and The Times hopes
the Republican voters OF Barre will bear
this in mind when marking their ballots
in the primaries next Tuesday. DR..
Steele is the Montpelier candidate. and
as his name is at the bottom of the list
on the ballot and might be overlooked, is
the reason attention is called to It.

Liner May Be Lost
OF Moroccan Coast

London, Jan. 2S.-The African liner
Appam, French Senegal for Liverpool
with over 300 persons aboard, is miss
ing and, it is feared sunk off the
coast of Morocco.
The British steamer Trepgantle re-
ported picking mp a damaged Appam
lifeboat, and the company owners adj
mitted they had no word of her.
Anxious relatives besieged the Elder
and Dempster company offices here
and at Liverpool for some word. In
reply, the company admitted tnat while
the vessel is long overdue, they have
not entirely abandoned hope, though
other smaller vessels are missing as
the result of violent storms that nave
swept the eastern Atlantic more than
two weeks.
In this connection, they pointed out
that maybe the lifeboat the Tregantle
found had merely been washed over
board; at any rate the company held
the ship probably is disabled and pro-
ceeding with difficulty toward port
But the fact that the lifeboat con
tanned three water casks and a life
belt, coupled vita absence of word
from the ship, made it apparent to 9th

Do you realize that just beneath that
coarse, rough or discolored complexion
there's an exquisitely beautiful skin of
youthful tint and delicacy9 If you
could only bring this complexion to the
surface discarding the old one! You
can-in the easiest, simplest, most nat
ural manner imaginable, just get an
ounce of ordinary mercolzed wax ut
any drug store, apply nightly like cold
cream removing it mornings vita warm
warm water. The wax assists Nature
by gradually taking off the linger-

face skin, causing no discomfort what
ever. Cutuneous defects like chaps,
pimples, blotches, liver spots, moth
patches, freckles, Of course disappear
with the old skin. Nothing else will
accomplish sucl wonderful results in

Retail Prices.

Portland. Ore, Jan. 2S.-While city
creameries are quoting a very firm tone
on their own private brands and re.
port generally firm trend in the trade,
they are disposed to keep down the
price Of country make whenever given
an opportunity.
Country creameries are in some in.
stances disposing Of their product as
quickly as manufactured, and at good
prices, but others report their inabil
ity to secure a favorable market. and
are therefore forced to either take q
loss on the manufactured product or
else ship their cream direct to central
plants in the city.
That the central canerics will pay
more for butter fat than they will for
butter made out of this same stock, is
one Of the reasons why the country
creamery interests are making bitter
complaints The situation is critical
especially to those that have only o
limited home demand an dare therefore
forced to sell the bulk Of their make. Ia
others at an actual loss from manufec.
turing costs.
