EARL KITCHENER DROWNED.
British War Minister on Way to Russia
When Warship Sunk Off Orkney Is
lands Monday Night.

With his entire staff, en- route on
an important mission to Russia, Lord
Kitchener, secretary of war, was
drowned when the British cruiser
Hampshire was sunk off the West
Orkney Islands, north of Scotland,
about o clock Monday night, "by n
mine or torpedo" as Sir John Jellico,
commander of Britain 3 grand fleet, of
icially reported. Every officer and
man on the Hampshire, an ll,OOO-ton
cruiser, was lost. Accompanying Kitch-
ener there were. besides the members
of his staff, number of British army
officers. The normal complement of the
Hampshire is 655.
1t was officially made known in Lon
don that Kitchener was to have dis
cussed important mlMry and financial
questions with the Russian car. Being
coincident with the beginning of the
great Russian spring offensive against
the Austro- Hungarian lines on the
southwestern front, his visit, it is be-
believed, was to have been of extreme
Importance and of far-reaching effect
upon the whole allied campaign.
The profoundest sensation of the en-
tire war has been created by the amaz
ing news of Kitchener S end. The news
spread like wildfre as the clubs
and restaurants were filed with crowds
of luncheoners. AS the news passed
along, all noise ceased instantly
Loud conversations changed into whis
pers. Officers suddenly left their ia
bles to rush into the streets in quest OF
further details In less than ten min
utes the flags on every building, pub
lie and private houses, were lowered tC
halfmast.
Earl Kitchener was appointed sec
rotary of state for war in August, l9l4
few days after Great Britain s de
claration of war on Germany. He was
regarded as England S greatest soldier
and. Notwithstanding the criticism
directed against him, Kitchener
greatest accomplishments during the
war were universally recognized. In
foremost of his achievements was the
creation from England's unframed
manhood of hugo army. At the be
ginning of the war Great Britain hac
only few hundred thousand trained
men. Today more than 100000 arc
enrolled in the various branches of tho
service.
Without his browning achievement
as the great organizer of the British
campaign in the European war, Kiteh
ener has already won wide and lasting
fame by his many campaigns in Egypt
South Africa and in India.

DEAL ON FOR FENToN STORE.
Understood Business May Be Sold to
Goodnow Syndicate and Goodnow,
Pearson g. Hunt May Move There.

+. j. Fenton Co.'s clothing and
department store in the American
building was closed a part of this
week and an inventory made by rep
resentatiyes of that firm and of the
Goodnow syndicate of which W. Fl.
Goodnow of Keene, n. H., is the head
and which owns chain of stores, in
GLIDING the Goodnow, Pearson G. Hunt
store of Brattleboro.
The Goodnow syndicate has negoti-
ated for the purchase of the stock of
Fenton & Co., with a view to moving
the Goodnow, Pearson & Hunt store
there from its present location in the
north part of the o. J. Pratt building.
That building recently was bought by
the F. w. Woolworth Co., of New
York, which firm has notified Good
now, Pearson & Hunt that it desires
to have the north store vacated.
In the event that the deal goes
through it would not be surprising to
sec Goodnow, Pearson G. Hunt put in n
department for women s garments, al
though the firm will not say that it has
any such plans.
For some time it has been under
stood that Fenton g. Co. have an option
on the store vacated by w. f. Root s
pharmacy, but whether the present
move alters their plans remains to be
determined.

MAMMOTH SEA BATTLE.
English and German Fleets Were En-
gagged Off Danish Coast

In the greatest sea battle of all
time, both in lives and tonnage of ships
lost. the English and German fleets met
at the entrance of the Skagerrak off
the coast of Denmark, May 81. The
first news Of the engagement reached
this country in a Berlin despatch last
Friday afternoon claiming complete
defeat of the British fleet. Later adj
vices, however, have tended to show
that the engagement was not so great
German victory as first described.
As definitely as can be established
from the conflicting reports the British
losses were three battle cruisers, three
cruisers and eight destroyers while the
Germans lost one or two battleships,
three cruisers and several torpedo boat
destroyers.
The loss of life on the British side
is believed to have been in excess of
5000 including Rear Admiral Horace
Hood and over 500 other officers. The
German loss of life is estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 1000.
Berlin asserts that the fight has
broken the supremacy of the British
fleet, while London official reports say
that only one unit of the British feet
was engaged aud that the control of
the North sea is unchanged.

NO NOMINATIONS YET
BY Republican and Progressive
Conventions in Chicago
Hughes Probable Choice of Republicans
While Roosevelt Dominates Bull
Moose - Desire for Unity of Parties.

The Republican and Progressive national
conventions have been in session in
Chicago since Wednesday noon, but no
nominations have been made yet and it
was not believed last night that action
would be taken before tomorrow The
situation is peculiar one in that the
Republican convention seems likely to
nominate Justice Charles f. Hughes and
the Progressives are bound to name Theo-
dore Roosevelt although both factions of
what was once the G.. o. p have gone on
record in favor of harmony and co-opera-
ton.
Senator Warren G.. Harding of Ohio
delivered the keynote speech at the Re
publican convention, making strong plea
for party reunion and urging the need of
return to Republican principles in gov
eminent administration. The speech
created a favorable impression, but it
aroused none of the enthusiasm that was
evident in the Progressive convention
when Temporary Chairman Raymond
Robins of Chicago mentioned the name of
Roosevelt and was obliged to wait an
hour and 80 minutes before the demon
stration ceased
In an effort to prevent n split in the
Republican ranks this year leaders of both
conventions are trying to bring about the
domination of candidate who will re-
unite the parties. With this end in view
Col. Roosevelt has been urged to leave
the seclusion of Oyster Bay and go to
Chicago. Yesterday afternoon he made
the statement that he would be willing
to address the Republican party conven-
ton if it wished him to do So Although
he has not made a definite statement to
that effect Col Roosevelt is believed to be
opposed to the nomination of Justice

Residents of the West river valley
will be glad to know that there will be
no change in the train schedule of the
West River division Of the Central
Vermont railroad. There was some
talk of changing the summer timetable
between Brattleboro and South Lon
donderry but when the officials were
informed that the present schedule
was much preferable to patrons they
promptly announced that they were
willing to let well enough alone.
Whether or not n Sunday train is
operated on the West River branch
this summer depends altogether on
the demand for it.

Wheat harvesters are badly needed
in Kansas, where the season opens
June IS. Employment for from $4,000
to 10000 men at wages from 50 to 81
a day is causing eastern labor bureaus
to issue appeals in behalf of the wheat
growers. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether New England will contribute
much help toward the wheat harvest
this year. There are too many oppor-
tunities for steady work at good wag-
es right here at home to make a tenn
porary position in the middle west al
Turing. Farmers in this section are
already complaining about the scar
city of help, due in. considerable meas
ure, doubtless, to the activities of in
dustrial concerns with big orders
ahead.

The Greater Vermont association
has been given permission to use the
walls of the Montpelier hotels for a
display of photographs of Vermont
during the association s annual meet
ing in that city July 10 and 10. This
is a good idea, and it brings to mind
an inquiry why the hotels of the state
do not make greater use of Vermont
views as continuous advertisement.
Too many hotel offices contain pictures
showing the beauty of some spot in
Canada or the Far West instead OF
views of the scenic attraction Of theii
own neighborhood. There isn't a no
tel in this part of Vermont that need
TO 90 more than n few miles from It's
front door to find material for the
most beautiful photographs ,imagin'
able. and if the home scenes were
used to adorn the Office walls the
chances are that more guests would
tarry awhile instead of hurrying on,
as so many of them do, in pursuit of
some distant beauty spot.

The Mercantile Club held its first
quadrennial leap year ball last night
and to make the affair truly artis-
tic, invited Miss Helen Moeller, of New
York, to present to the 500 men and
women who attended the affair interpreta-
tions Of Greek dances. Miss Moeller in

white kid gloves were ripped in applaud
ing her. She danced in her bare feet
The nine dances which she did give
were entitled Purity" Scarf Dance"
''Valse." Pandora and Her Jar" "Bac-
chanal." "Narcissus." The Bubble"
Pan" and The Prisoner" The pur-
pie note predominated them. In the
Scarf Dance" and in Pan" Miss MoeIIer
was assisted by Miss Emily nlIngworth,
whose flying raven tresses contrasted with
Miss Moeller's golden ones. Between the
dances Miss Rhea slIberstein. also of

it's share. But" he added. wiping the
