1t was proposed to cut the budget 49,,
coo because in the opinion of Governor
Withycombe and Treasurer Kay the eng
ineer s department did not have any big
projects under way. Also the services
of John Dubuis as an engineer could
be eliminated and the work taken over
by Joe McAllister, who is now secre-
tary of the board. Mr.. Lewis objected
to this arrangement as it would decrease
the efficiency of the office. 1t was
agreed then to make cut of 81 900 and
then if conditions warranted to make
the other cut of $1,000.

FIVE AMERICANS

Germany has been asked for the sub
marine commander report on the af
fair, while the United States diplomatic
and consular representatives near tn,
scene have been directed to forward by
cable all information that can be gath
cred.
If the evidence finally shows that
the Marina was sunk without warning
the German government, il was agreed
will face the necessity of taking dras
tie action to expiate the offense. One
submarine commander will have been
proven guilty of prosecuting "relent-
less and indiscniminateN warfare a
gainst vessels of commerce. the penalty
for which, this government declared in
its Sussex note of April Is, would be
the breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tions.
Recognition of the gravity of such
action by submarine commander was
shown at the German embassy where
it was said the commander would be
punished, il found guilty, his action
disavowed by the government and repa-
ration made.
Today il was made clear that in ask
ing Berlin, through the American em-
bassy there, from the admiralty's in.
formation on the sinking of the Ma
rina, il was not intended to intimate
Germany's submarine pledges have
been violated. Such information as
Germany may have is likely to be es-
sential in clearing up of disputed points
in the case.
Because of the large number of Am
orleans among the survivors of the Ma.
rina, their affidavits probably will
prove the deciding factor in determin-
ing this governments action.
Secretary Lansing has refused to
discuss the matter, in the absence of
direct proof of just what happened. He
is keeping President Wilson advised,
however, of all information that reach.

THE SITUATION OF THE PROGRESS
STVES.

Theodore Roosevelt has insisted on 1
straight American" running for presi
dent OF the United States. He has init
mated that he was willing to step aside
providing such man should be put for
ward. He was unwilling at the outset tc
accept Hughes because he doubted tht
vigor of Hughes Americanism and his
desire for real preparedness, while all
the time he was admitting the competen-
CIV of Hughes to fill the office Of chief ex-
ecutiye. AS a matter of fact, a great
many Republicans knew little about the
strength of feeling which Hughes had
concerning Issues now vital. But that
ignorance was natural, for Hughes occu-
pied peculiar position. He was mem
Der of the highest tribunal in the United
States and was thus quite effectually
estopped from making presentation of
his views in political turmoil. But inn
mediately upon resigning that position
he was free to express himself That he
did in his statement of acceptance of the
Republican nomination. The words of
that acceptance and the absolute candor
back of them leave no doubt whatever
that Hughes is straight American"
that he feels very deeply about national
integrity and that he realizes most acute
" the needs of the United States in ma
terisl defense at all times. Therefore,
he meets the test which Roosevelt set up
as the test for a desirable candidate.
Roosevelt himself couldn't have written
a clearer statement of Americanism, al
belt perhaps he might have couched it
in more vehement terms. Hence, in all
Roosevelt can turn his support
toward Charles Evans Hughes, although,
admittedly, such an act would disappoint
a great many sincere admirers of the
former president. Those admirers, too,
could well turn their support toward
that same Hughes and lose nothing of

Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, Ger
many, went beyond his province when h
contributed an interview on peace. to a
German newspaper. Gerard was sent to
Germany to represent the interests OF
the United States. not to initiate any
movement for peace, or to express pub
licly view on peace which might be
taken to reflect the sentiment of the
United States government. BY Gerard's
own admission he was truthfully report
ed in one German newspaper and mis-
quoted in another paper. 1t was decid-
ed indscretion on his part to give out a
statement to the public ahead OF his
government. A sharp reprimand seems
to be likely to be given TO Gerard, if the
government at Washington wishes to
maintain its dignity and its right of
priority over its individual servants.
Ambassador Gerard's previous good rec
ord could not well cover such an offense.

the Town OF Barre, the largest town,

Washington county, is entitled to rep

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican national convention at
Chicago which ended its work late Sat
urday, was about as clear-eut and de-
cisive in its results as might well be
hoped for To be sure, the sessions were
long drawn out and three ballots were
necessary to ratify the undoubted choice
of the vast majority; but the delays
were chiefly due to the fact that efforts
were being made to harmonic with the
Progressives and the extra ballots were
required in order that state delegations
might go through the perfunctory action
of giving complimentary votes for "fa-
vorite sons The spirit of the Progress
sive convention was such that the efforts
for union were predestined for defeat at
the very outset; the Progressives would
brook no opposition to their first. last
and all the time demand for Roosevelt,
and the time spent in the conferences
was wasted except for the good effect
that the getting together viii do in the
