or take the consequences il they are
sunk without warning by British and
French warships.
And with British and French war
ships searching for German submar-
ines, and each side prepared to sink
the other on sight there also is addi-
tlonal danger that a submarine COM
mander might mistake an American
craft for an enemy and sink it without
warning. It is these complications
that officials call to your attention and
they point out that they are very real
and OF such character that the
slightest slip on the part Of some
naval commander might Immediately
involve this nation in the war.

Realizing this. officials say that the
administration must maintain the po-
slt1on towards all of the beliigerents

against the Anglo-French naval block

time, Secretary Lansing freely admit

The majority of officials here believe
that the present raid is to be followed
by others and on wider scale But
they do not expect any violation of the
pledges made by Germany that she will
conduct cruiser warfare under inter
national law at this time. AS already
pointed out in these dispatches the
sentiment throughout Germany is for a
resumption of submarine warfare
against all enemy vessels" and this
action Is considered certain eventually
but Germany is expected to make an.
nouncement Of such intention well in
advance and endeavor again to reopen
the armed merchantmen question.

Wednesday, August 30, 1916.

In an effort to solve some of the diff
ficuties presented in the maintenance
of the roads of the village the street
committee yesterday made tour Of
the surrounding country in earch for
a gravel bed. The experience OF the
past few years has demonstrated that
gravel roads stand up better under the
automobile traffic than macadam and
the pebbles are being used wherever it
is possible to obtain them in preference
to crushed stone. Where gravel is avail
able roads can built at far less expense
than is required when crushed rock
is used and many of the best roads in
the state are surfaced with gravel
hauled from the beds of rivers and
small streams. Bennington is umfortu-
nate in that good gravel is scarce in
this locality and the little that exists
is difficult of access Gravel that is
found near Bennington has q tendency
10 run to hardheads and it has been
fairly well demonstrated that hard.
heads are poor material for road sur
lacins.

Washington believe Bulgaria will be
called hpon to bear the brunt OF the
attack Of Rumania upon Austria
Hungary. According to war depart
ment information Rumania has war
supplies to last four months. The en-.
tire equipment OF the Rumanian army,
unless changed recently, is of Ger
man manufacture, which may make
the supply problem difficult for the
allies. The only known route for
furnishing munitions is by way Of Rus
STA.
The immediate effect of partici-
patton by Rumania, it was said, was
to open Rumanian routes to Russian
armies and make possible a hanking
movement against the whole Austrian
line in the Carpathians. 1t has, been
reported that Austria has been busy
for months preparing he. defences
along the Rumauian lines, aided by
Field Marshal Won Mackensen and
German engineers. For that reason
some officers believe the Austrian gen
eral stan has determined to hold itself
entirely on the defensive in the new
war. endeavorng to prevent the pour
ing OF Russian troops down the plains
of Hungary by way OF Rumania.
Many officers at Washington look
for fierce Bulgarian dive into Ru-
mania as soon as war is declared be
tween these two nations. Already the
Bulgarian general staff, said by many
officers to compare favOrably with the
German organization by reason OF its
hard training in three recent wars
has moved against the Greek frontier
apparently with the intention OF
throwing a wall of troops around the
allied armies at SalOnica
Bucharest, the Rumanian capital
lies In an open plain within 20 miles
of the bulgarian frontier 1t can be
defended. army officers believe, only
by a great field army and offers an
object for a drive. Because of the
constant engagement OF German and
Austrian forces In other war zones.
It is believed the offensive operations
must be left to Bulgaria alone and
that the Bulgarans welcome the op.
portunity to attempt TO carve place
for themselves among the powers.
The army Of Rumania was hailed with
expressions of satisfaction at the en-
tente allies eambassies where officials
made predictions OF important de.
velopmcnts In the Balkans within the
next six weeks affecting Bulgaria's
continuance with the Tcutonic allies.
Officials at Washington expressed
no surprise at Rumania's action, which
was known to be dependent entirely
on ltalys declaration OF war on Ger.

HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTY.

The lines are well drawn in the local county
contest On the one side are the candidates nOmi-
mated through the influence of the Hopkins Or
ganization and the old courthouse ring; on the
other an opposition ticket composed Of members
of various parties who give no allegiance or owe
10 favors to any state committeeman. Neither the
tariff on rubber the United States relations
with the moon have anything to do with tit is
the fight of the old ring for life against those who
want a new order of things in the county court
house, the new order of which the reduction of
nearly three mills in the county tax levy for next
year will be but the first example.
It's winning fight, too. Hanging Jap Thacker
I'D as a scarecrow because Thacker wouldn't kOw

county offices this fall nor will throwing lot of
mud at George F. Yantis. The issue is plain and it
can't be covered up. It's question of Hopkins
or anti Hopkins, of the schemes and plots and
favors of the ring against the people of this coun-
ty who want to have something more to say than
they have had in the past concerning their county
government and county officials.
It's going to be an interesting fight, perhaps
dirty one, for the organization men promise they
are going to throw lot of mud. They will have
to use something, of course, to cover up the main
issue and it might as well be mud anything else
