RUSS BATTLESH|P
|MPERATRITSA
DESTROYED
Sunk By a Mine or Some Internal
Explosion
200 OF CREW ARE MISSING
Vessel Was One OF the Three Modern
Dreadnoughts of Russian Navy
and Was Built In 1914.

London, Nov. 24-Russia officially
announces at Petrograd the loss of
the dreadnought Imperatritsa Maria.
A statement issued last night reads.
THE Russian dreadnought lmpera-
tritsa Maria has been sunk by an in
ternal explosion. Two hundred of the
crew are missing"
Early in November q report was
In circulation that the lmperatritsa
Maria had gone to the bottom in the
Black sea and that nearly all of her
crew had perished. Later on Novem-
Der II, Berlin reported by wireless
that a Bulgarian headquarters DIS
patch announced that a fireman on
the battleship had reached the Bull
garian coast and confirmed the de-
struction of the dreadnought, which
it was stated had been sunk by mine
near Sulina, or Feodossia island, at
the mouth of the Danube.
The Imperatritsa Maria was new
dreadnought. She was launched in
1914 and displaced 22,500 tons. Her
officers and crew numbered about 1000
men. The vessel was $50 feet long
and had draft of 27 feet. She was
armed with 10 Pinch, 20 5-inch and
four 2-5-inch guns and four three
Founders and four torpedo tubes.
The Russian naval staff, says a
Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd, has
issued the following statement: AT
o'clock on October 90 fire broke out
in the forward magazine of the I'm
peratritsa Maria. An internal explo-
sion followed Immediately and the fire
spread rapidly and reached the petrol
tanks. The officers and crew strove
with the utmost bravery to localize
the effects of the explosion and flood
the magazines. The commander-in-
chief, Vice-Admiral Koisohak, went
aboard and took personal command
of the operations.
Shortly after O'Clock, however,
the vessel sank. The greater part
of the crew were saved. An officer
and two first-class subofiicers and
149 sailors are missing. Sixty.four
of the crew have since died from the
effects of burns.
"The position of the ship, which lies
in shallow water, gives hope that it
may be relocated and completely re-
paired in few months. The bridge is
only one yard below water level"

PLAN EMBARGO TO
REDUCE COST OF
FOOD SUPPLY
President Wilson Said to Have Civ
en- His Consent
MEASURE Is NOT REIhlIATOHY
VIII Not Be Directed Toward Any
Foreign Country But To Lower
Cost of Living in U. S.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Information
was obtained today that the Admin
istration. in an effort to redeem in
some measure the promise for lower
cost OF living made four years afo, ac-
tually is behind the proposal for an
embargo on foodstuffs.
There has been reluctance in ad-
ministration circles to take a step
which might be misinterpeted by the
countries at war, but it is understood
that administration officials felt bound
to support the embargo since the cost
of the necessities of life, instead of de
clining. has mounted rapidly TO a level
at which many articles of food can be
bought only by those who are more
than well TO do.
For this reason Representative Fitz-
gerald of New York is secure in the
knowledge that he will have at least
silent approval from the executive and
of the avenue when he places his pro-
posal for an embargo before Congress.
That the State Department does not
desire the impression TO go abroad
that the measure is in any degree in
tentionally retaliatory was indicated
today by a statement of Secretary
Lansing, in which he said he consider
ed the question purely domestic one
and one in which the State Depart
ment had no concern.

DEER PoAcHERs IN DANDY
Section of Town Being Watched BY
Game Wardens.

That Rutland county is the home of
a chain OF camps populated by game
hogs" or fish and game outlaws" is
the belief of the officials of the state
and county and many of the residents
of the town of DANDY. the infested
section being on the mountain ranges
east of the village of Dandy. A few
days ago County Game Warden f. w.
Hayward of Rutland and County War
den Edward S. Higgins of Bennington
were in the vicinity all day but they
did not find sufficient evidence to
make arrests.
The authorities have been trying to
clean up the situation for several
months and 1t is probable that the
state fish and game department in the
near future will employ men not
known to the campers to gather evil
dence There are camps along the
top of the mountain where dogs are
kept and this is strictly against the
law. Deer have been taken out of
season and trout are taken during the
closed seasons, it is alleged, by the
men OF the woods.
Warden Higgins, who was in Rut-
land Saturday, complains of the state
carrying a revolver He says many
foreigners and hunters from without
the state take advantage of this situa-
tion by hunting with revolvers and
thus escape paying a nonresident H.
cense. or any license at all. for that
matter.
Early last week the authorities were
notified that two good-sized deer had
been shipped out of camp in Dandy
by way of an automobile and that both
of the animals were shot before the
opening OF the season. An investiga-
ton followed and on Saturday Frank
Baker of Dandy, fern picker, was
arrested and brought to Rutland.
States Attorney C. " Poulin and
the two game wardens interrogated
the man but he did not disclose any
evidence which would tend to convict
himself or anyone else. He claimed
his machine had been broken for sew
eral days. The man was arraigned be
fore Judge +. G. Swinnerton and the
case against him of transporting deer
contrary to law was mol pressed.
The situation in Dandy has been
reported to State Commissioner John
w. Titcomb. who is giving the matter
his personal attention. The commits
sioner says it is an extremely hard
matter to get the necessary evidence,
although the officials are satisfied as
to the identity OF some of the law
breakers.

Why Hughes LOST California.

An esteemed Michigan subscriber
writes MS, blaming the result of the
election on Hughes. He also enclose S
copy OF the Detroit Journal giving
prominent place to an article from the
staff correspondent of the United
Press. giving facts regarding the cleo
tion in California. where Hughes lost
by about 5000 and the state elected
GOV. Johnson. Senator, by over S00,-
600.
The facts are as stated, we Judge,
from all that We have read
The conclusions are wrong. we

thing of how speaking tour is con-
Quoted, would not blame Mr.. Hughes
for the snub given Gov. Johnson in
his own state. slight that was re-
sented by fair minded men of all par
ties. who were proud of their COVER
nor and jealous of the dignity that at

When Roosevelt toured Vermont
four years ago, he was speaking from
six to ten times day, during the
three days he was in the state. II
took all his tremendous vitality to
stand up under the strain, He had
or anybody. Those he met were
those whom the Progressive party
leaders introduced to him. Every
other moment was spent in resting.
etc.
This is exactly what probably hap
pened in California when Hughes
made his very short trip through that
state. The chairman of the Califor
MIA and National republican commit
tees had, jointly, charge of the speak
ing arrangements and Mr. Hughes
had no opportunity to meet anyone
except those whom these gentlemen
wanted him to meet They were bit
terly opposed to Gov. Johnson. Like
Mr.. Roosevelt in Vermont, Mr.. Hughes
undoubtedly knew nothing of the situ-
alton in California till too late.
The blame lies wholly with those
hdebiund, reactionary stand-patters,
Chester H. Rowell Francis Keesling
and w. Fl. Crocker, who tried to vent
their spite upon Gov. Johnson, and
cost the republicans the presidency
The United Press man says that
when Hughes was leaving the state
he was given the other side of the
case, and Immediately sent a trusted
friend to see Gov Johnson and ex-
plain the situation That the latter
knew Hughes was not to blame was
evidenced by the effort he made to
carry the state for Hughes, but the
poison was spread so thoroughly
through the blood of loyal Califor-
mans. who resented the insult to the
governor CT their state, that it could
not be eradicated by even Gov.
Johnson.
These are the facts. we believe.
Spite cost the republicans the presi.

Blaine lost New York by a foolish
friend, Hughes lost California and the
Presidency, by worse than foolish
friends.-Morrisville Messenger

Have Lost 10000 Square Miles
of Territory in Few Days
WESTERN ARMY PROBABLY TAKEN
New Line of Defence ls 90 Miles West
of Bucherest and Accessible For
Renforcements.

London Nov. 23-Ten thousand
square miles, nearly half of western
Rumania, have been yielded to the in
vading Teutons by the Rumanian
army which lost Craiova. The Ru-
manians have retreated to the Alt Val
ley, ninety miles west of Bucharest,
where they plan to make stand.
This is the opinion here in the light
of an official statement issued today
by the Rumanian War Office, it's first
official word since Sunday. 1t is be-
lieped this statement spells the aban-
doning of the Rumanian army at Or
sova, in Hungary, to it's fate. This
army appears to be surrounded.
Rumania thus relinquishes, because
of Won Falkenhayn's successful and
rapid strategy, part OF the rich grain
country OF the Wallachian plain. A
good share of this country, however,
is still protected by the Alt and the
new Rumanian line.
AS the Rumanian official statement
is read here ii means that the Ruman-
ians have retreated east along the
front for a distance of from twenty
five to forty miles. This retirement
has been made along front of ap
proximately a hundred miles, it is be-
iieved.
