WILL ERECT BUILDING
Houghton & Simonds to Have
Store on Hooker Corner Lot
Frontage so Feet on Main Street-New
Owners Will Move Dry Goods Bust
ness There.

Negotiations were completed yester-
day whereby Houghton & Simonds, the
well-known dry goods firm, will become
owners of the corner lot on the Hook
er property at the junction of Main
and High streets.
The lot contains room for q building
approximately 80 feet on Main street
and 1875 feet on High street. The line
is just south of the Hooker residence.
Houghton & Simonds, who now oc-
cupy the corner store in the Hooker
building on the opposite side of Main
street, intend to erect thoroughly
modern ireproof building on the new
ly acquired property. They have not
completed plans for a building, but
they have in contemplation n three
story structure, the first floor for their
own occupancy and the second and
third floors for Offices and apartments.
The lay of the land is especially suit
ed for a corner entrance to such a
building.
The purchase was made of John B.
Marley, who recently bought the en-
tire Hooker property. Mr.. Manley
plans to erect a large garage on the
rear part of the land, and after selling
the corner lot to Houghton & Simonds
he still has left the residence and land
in front of it and north to the First
Baptist church.
The building which Houghton & 81.
monds contemplate putting up will have
unobstructed light on the east, south
and west sides and will be one of the
finest store buildings in town, enabling
them to arrange and display goods to
particularly good advantage.

OUR FORESTS RESERVES.

We commend to the reading of all Yer
the article on forestry in this
state, written by Roderic NJ Olzendam,
secretary of the Vermont Forestry asso-
citation, for the Elm Tree Monthly of
Woodstock and reprinted in The Phoenix.
You will find it Illuminating and instruc-
tive. 1t is surprising to most of MS to
know that the state now owns $1,000 acres
of state forests, distributed through II
towns and seven counties, on which fores-
try rules are enforced, demonstrations
made and lumber grown for revenue pur-
poses. The. only reservation in Windham
county is in Townshend, but other tracts
in this section may be taken later, as the
state forester is authorized to buy, survey
and reforest state lands annually to the
amount of $500. The states control of
forests is of value from the point Of tim
bel tccr 7cryptor and cultivation, for tss
conservation of our water supplies from
draw practically all of our white coal for
power and lighting purposes, and in the
betterment of scenic attractions Some
pointed paragraphs on the taxation of
standing timber form an important part
of the article. He puts the blame for de-
nuded hillsides squarely on the people;
The over-taxing of forests compels the
lumberman to use his timber. We consid-
er timber as real estate and year after
year we tax it like mine instead of treat
ing it as a crop. There are wood lots in
every town of the state upon which the
annual growth fails to pay the taxes

BRITISH SEIZE RAILWAY
IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA
Capture Two Towns and Rout
Enemy's Forces.

London, July 22.-British troops
operating in the northeastern section
Of German East Africa have occupied
Muhcza and Amani and have captured
the whole of the Usnmbara railway, ac-
cording to an official announcement
made here to-day.
The Official statement follows:
Lieutenant General Smuts states
that the enemy, who attempted to in
terfere with his communications west
of Tanga, has been driven over the
Pangani River. The towns OF Muheza
and Amani have been captured and the
whole Of the Usambara railway has
been taken.
"On the southern borders of Lake
Victoria Nyanza we are pursuing the
enemy who escaped from Muanza. We
found the German steamers Muanzs
and Otto Heinrich scuttled in Stuhl-
mann Sound. Much booty was taken
from the vessels, which can be raised
easily and utilized"
The Belgian Colonial Office report Of
July 3 on operations in East Africa
says:
"A strong enemy force, which was
dislodged by the British occupation of
Bukoba and Karagwe Con the west
coast Of Lake Victoria) found its re-
treat barred by much weaker Belgian
force, under Major Rouling, near Bust
rayombo, at the southwest corner OF
Lake Victoria. After a determined
fight, in which the bulk Of the European
Germans were killed or captured, the
remnant of the enemy force fed in the
direction of Msriahif, closely pursued

mander of the German column, WAS

rights TO aid them against Germany.
There Ia no less sympathy with the
cause OF England and France, but IL is
now time for them. conscious Of Ameri-
can liberality in the past, to be them
selves a little more respectful Of
American rights. Germany has grudg-
ingly yielded her respect for them;
they as friends, it is asserted, should
do no less.
Talk Of Retaliation.
Among Congressional leaders there
has been talk Of forcing" their OBJ
servance by means Of an embargo or
rctsliatory legislation Of some kind.
Such attacks, however-likc that made
by Senator Thomas. Of Colorado, yes
terday-are discountenanced by the
Administration. Its own attitude has
been greatly stifened by the unpopu-
larity OF the blacklist, but it Is thor
oughly confident that the issues can
be adjusted by diplomatic means. Be-
sides, it is pointed out, reprisals by
means of legislation would only react
more strongly against the United
States.
Meanwhile, not averse to taking
political advantage Of the situation,
Administration men are doing every
thing possible TO get votes for the
ship purchase bill out OF the black
list. Its bankers have seized the OPP
portunity to paint glowingly all tho
horrors Of British shipping embargo
unless American firms can prove un-
tainted destination for their cargoes.
The natural relief for this. they point
out, is government owned ships TO form
the nucleus for an American merchant
marine.
As upholding their case, it Is under
stood that the British have cited
American precedents in the Civil War.
When the Union blockaded the South
many British firms in Nassau and the
Bahama Islands continued TO trade with
Southern firms. These British com
panies were promptly blacklisted by
the North and London entered no pro-
test.
Now the situation is exactly the re-
verse. and it is understood the British
expect Washington 10 be equally fair

Ambassador Responds to
State Departments Re-
quest for Information.
u. S. PRECEDENT
IN CIVIL WAR CITED
Administration Amazed by Out
burst of Indignation at
England's Decree.
From Tne Tribune Hurvau. I

Washington, July 22.-Great Britain,
through its Ambassador, replied infor-
mally to-day TO the request Of the
United States for information regard
ing the operation Of the blacklist un-
der which the trade of many American
firms has been interdicted. Sir Cecil
Spring Rice called at the State Depart
ment and explained the trading with
the enemy act" to Acting Secretary
Polk.
Neither President Wilson nor Mr..
Polk took their accustomed week ends
of, the latter working at his desk un-
til late in the evening.
While tho State Department is busy
studying the case, especially precedents
relating to it. the resentment aroused
by the British decree continues 10 reg
lister itself Holland has expressed it.
self as being in sympathy with any
move the United States might make,
and information has reached the State
Department that South American re-
publics and Scandinavian countries are
following the developments with the
greatest Interest.
In even greater degree than the
United States has suffered, the COM
merce of these countries has been re-
stricted. Blacklists have been in
operation for months, but the govern
ments have been powerless TO inter
pose any defence.
Outburst Amazes Administration.
Administration leaders are amazed at
the outbuIst of Indignation through
out the country following the British
decree. Although the United States,
under international law, has virtually
no case against Britain, many Of the
blacklisted firms having been engaged
in unneutral trade, resentment has
been widespread.
In the opinion OF observers this is
significant of change that has como
over the country. While the contro-
versy with Germany was uppermost,
British infringements of American
rights were passed over with scarcely
protest. Ship seizures were per
mitted, mail hold-ups allowed and
American trade with neutral countries
interfered with, and compa rtively little
complaint was made by the American
people.
Then suddenly over a minor point
so far as the law is there
is burst Of indignation against Eng
land. Interpreted by Administration
leaders, this means that the country
now feels that the Allies have passed
the crucial stage Of the war and there
is no longer any need OF straining
