THREATENED BREACH BETWEEN
H0EL WEC-TIRP|Tz FACTIONS
SEEMS TO Be Diminishing
Extreme Caution by Prime Movers in the Agitation of Subma
inc Activity Being Exercised to Avoid Friction

Berlin, March 20, via London March
21.-Friends of the Imperial chancel-
lor, Dr. Won Bethmann Hollweg, are
now quite confident that he has we'll
in hand the political situation connect
ed with the displacement of Admiral
Won Tirpitz as minister of marine and
that there need be no fear that it Will
develop into what is termed a chancel-
lor's crisis. They believe the National
Liberal and Conservative resolutions,
calling for unlimited use of submarines
against hostile vessels with the ex-
ception of passenger ships, may not
even come to the point Of open discus
sion and q vote in the Reichstag.
To Avoid All Direct Reference
The prime movers in the agitation
Herr Won Heydebrand, Conservative
leader in the Reichstag and Major
Ernst Passerman, National-Liberal
leader, have avoided introduction of
interpretations to which the chancel-
lor would he forced to reply and have
chosen to clothe their proposals in the
form of resolutions which, unless they
are made urgent measures, will take
their place in the regular order of res
olutions. So many other important res
olutions have precedence that discus
sion Of the submarine proposals in this
event would be postponed indefinitely.
In any case the chancellor scarcely
will speak upon the subject matter of
the resolutions unless he is compelled
to do so.
The movement which found express
sion in the resolutions is composed of
two constituent elements. First, there
is the large body of popular opinion
which, honestly interested in the sub
marine weapon, desires that it may
have an opportunity to display its ef-
ficiency unhampered by political re-

BASEBALL TALK
ATTRACTING FANS

Local baseball fans are taking an in
terest in the Trolley League prospects
for this year. There seems to be lit
tie chance that Waterville will have a
team as the interest here has not been
such as would support a team for
some time, but some Of the younger
men Of the city including those
through whose work the Twilight
League was carried through to q sue
cessful close last year. are interesting
themselves in the game for the COM
ing summer and if the other cities of
the league do not go into the thing
too steep. there is a prospect that Wa
terville will be represented. The boys
feel that good team can be organic
ed in the city Of local fellows who will
be willing to work for normal salary
and who will be able to hold their own
in any ordinary league. II the other
teams start in hiring big leaguers as
Madison and Skowhegan did last sum-
mer there will be nothing doing in
Waterville.

Reginald Warren, one Of the bright
young carrier boys Of the Kennebec
Journal in the city, has built over his
bicycle so that he is having very lit
tie trouble in getting about with it in
the snow. Reginald carries the papers
on his machine and is able to make his
route much easier with it, but when
the heavy snow came he was unable
to make much progress. He determined
to try the experiment of putting a
sled ruined in the place Of the front
wheel. He obtained an old sled and
taking one runner from it built 1t up
SO that It fitted in the place of the
wheel and started out. He found that
he could get along a great deal easier
than when he had two wheels and that
the bicycle was as easy to steer and to
keep upright as before. In heavy
snow it was a great deal better and
he says he is going to keep the runner
on as long as the snow lasts.

Parents Should knOzv
this Splendid Ren1ed,
Simple Laxative Compound
Helps to Correct Consti-
patton in Children.

With all children there are times
when the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer a remedy. Cathar-
tics and purgatives should never De
used as these agents afford only tenn
porary relief while their violent action
shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva
r. Gaff, SIT 10th ST., Washington, d.
c., says that her little girl, Marie had
been subject to constipation, and that
she found Dr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pep
sin the best remedy because OF its
mildness, and now always keeps bot
tie of it in the house.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
compound Of simple laxative herbs
free from opiates or narcotic drugs OF
any kind, and is an ideal remedy for
children because of it's mild action and
positive effect. It's use tends to
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.
1t is important that parents should
know of a dependable remedy with no

Legislature. He spoke Of the old fall
lacy that when a man went to the
Legislature it was necessary for him
to do what some man in control Of
the party wanted him to do il he was
to get anywhere and declared that the
surest way to political oblivion was to
do that thing. He said that the good
roads issue was the greatest economic
issue before the people today and fur.
ther declared that 1t was his belief that
the money for good roads should be
raised by a mill tax Of one mill on
all the property Of tho State. He spoke
Of the things that the Republican
party had accomplished. including the
workingmens compensation law and
the 54-hour law and finally said that
the great question between the two
political parties Of the State at the
present time was the enforcement OF
law and particularly the prohibitory
law. He declared that the Republican
party was for its enforcement, tho
Democratic party against it. For him
self II he was nominated and elected
he would do all that lay in his power
to enforce the prohibitory Law and he
believed that there should be law
passed that would give the Governor
the power to remove any officer OF
the State who does not do his duty. Al
present it is necessary for the Legis-
lature to impeach a sheriff to have him
removed. He was asked some questions
regarding what he would do IN the
case Of Bangor and replied that ne
should endeavor to have the sheriH
removed and failing in that would take
up some other method. He also said
that he believed that the Republican
party was behind an amendment to the
constitution that would give the Gov
ernor power to remove sheriffs who re-
fused to enforce the law. His speech
was received with cheers.
Following his address. Mr.. M'liiKen
held a reception during which ne
met many of the boys. and enjoyed
their hospitality. 1t was a very sue
cessful meeting and was much enjoyed
by the men Of the college.

A New Buneo Game

Hospitals and doctors in various
parts Of New England have been bum
coed lately by brand new bunco
game that has apparently netted its
originator good amount. The way the
game is played is for a well-dressed
man to suddenly fall unconscious on
the sidewalk. He is usually taken to
some hospital and after a time recov-
ers consciousness and in a day or two
claims to be as well as ever. He is
without money but has check for a
sum considerably larger than his doc
tors bill and hospital bills and he gets
some real money in exchange. The
check comes back marked no such ac-
count. The Waterville police will
doubtless be on the lookout for the
gentleman if he arrives in this city
and his medical attention here may not
be all that he could desire

DEPUTIES FIND
ROLL OF BILLS IN

Tracks of Murderers Are Found
Leading Across Scho0dic Lake

Was Forced

Dover, Me, March IA roll of bills

was murdered early last week, his body
with head battered in being found Tues
day by Wallace London. From the start
robbery was thought to have been the
motive of the crime and the finding of
this large sum Of money makes reason
ably certain the theory that the men who
came to Herbert's camp did so with the
intention Of getting the money.
The murderers ransacked the place and
must have looked everywhere but under
the caves where the roll was found. The
canvass bag in which Herbert carried
his money and believed to have contain
ed between $50 and $500 is missing, also
his heavy revolver
Deputies. Chadbourne and Hall return
ed from the scene of the murder Satur-
day and said that in addition to finding
the money they had unearthed some val
tity Of the guilty party or parties. No
arrests have been made as yet. Deputy
Chadbourne Ia certain that two men were
concerned in the killing of Herbert. Their
bloody finger prints were found on cur
tains In the camp and preserved by the
officers for classification by an expert.
The tracks Of the murderers made
upon leaving the camp were also found
and followed across the lake to the
Atwood and Day cottage where they
made an entrance by smashing a
window. In this cottage they brewed
some tea and evidently rested, using
some blankets taken from the Herbert
camp. The tracks were also followed
to the line Of the Bangor & Aroostook
Railroad where the murderers evil
IDENTIFY lodged behind clump Of
bushes at the side of the track to es-
cape notice from the crew of a pass
ing train.
Deputy Chadbourne's theory Is that
Herbert was killed fairly early Tues
day afternoon by the men who visited
the camp, bringing with. them some
liquor, their idea being to get Herbert
intoxicated and then rob him of his
money. Failing to get the aged man
under the influence Of liquor an alter
cation started and the hermit was kill

AT COLBY COLLEGE

Hon. Carl A. Milliken of Island Falls.
one of the Republican candidates for
governor, was visitor to the city Tues
day. He appeared first at a meeting of
the Mems Club of the Congregational

Mr.. Milliken was introduced by Presi-
dent Jolly and was received with cheers

gan by telling the boys some Of his COL
lege experiences. then spoke Of the fact
that as they were in college so they
would be when they got out into the
world and that he was pleased to see so
many Of them taking an interest in poll
tics. as he believed that 1t was the duty of
all men. and especially college men, to
take an interest in the welfare Of the
State. and this could be done best by
going into what we call politics, that did
not necessarily mean running for ONCE.
but it did mean in some ways helping to
shape the affairs Of government.
He said a good word for the Republi-
can party and the principles that it
represents and then came down to the
