A Weary Old Bunch

Washington, Sept. S.--A handful of
weary, red eyed senators convened at
the unholy nour of o clock this morn
ing to hear themselves talk until the
revenue bill. passed shortly before ad
journment at l a. m. can be engrossed
by the public printer and signed by
tne president of the chamber.
The most important piece of legisla-
tion confronting the senate was res
olution to adjourn at 10 o'clock.
The house was more considerate of it.
self 1t passed the joint resolution to
adjourn at 10 a. m. and then quit bus
mess shortly after 10 O'Clock last
night, after resolving to give its mem
bers half hour longer to sleep this
morning. The resolution to meet at
$3.50 instead of carried also tho
agreement to adjourn for keeps at 10
a. m.
The only reason the session was not
adjourned last night was because of
the physical inability of the public
printer, mis- type settlers and the jour
nal clerks of both houses TO get the
revenue and emergency deficiency
bills passed without record votes. at
the last minute last night, in shape for
the president to sign when he went to
his capitol offices today.
Many senators appeared today with
only a washed face, bite of break
fast and eat nap on a couch to show
for the brief respite since adjourning
early this morning. More arrived at
the capitol Just in time to vote aye on
tne motion that passed the last session
of the Sixty Fourth congress into tho
congressional archives. Many left
Washington last night, and another ex-
odus todaycarried additional members
to their political stamping grounds.

Estimate of Allies Losses.

Berlin, Sept. S.-The allies have lost
more than million men in killed
wounded and missing since the grand
offensive against the central power.
opened with a Russian attack three
months ago.
This estimate was made today BY
German military experts who said they
thought it conservative. Against these
losses the allied armies have only the
conquests of Bukowina and some Ga
lician territory by the Russians, the
capture of Goritz by the Italians, 9
shallow thrust into the German lines
on the Somme and the occupation OF
mountainous Transylvanian territory
by the Rumanians as positive mill
tary achievements.
The armies of the central powers
keeping their lines intact everywhere
under tremendous pressure at the same
time struck back with successful blows
in the Balkans. The Bulgarians ad
yanced on both flanks to positions men
acing the allies in Greece. German and
Bulgarian forces struck severe blow
against the Rumanians by occupying
Tutrakan fortress, one of the bridge
head positions defending Bucharest.
The losses OF the allies as conserv
atively estimated here, follow:
Russians 100000.
British 100000.
French 100000.
Italian. Serbian and Rumanian com,
hined $4,000.
Some Austrian experts and mum
ber of Germans have estimated the
Russian losses at more than 100000 and
the combined British and French losses
at more than 100000 Official casual
ty losts given out at London show
British losses of about l25,000 for the
month of August alone.
The danger of any serious reverse on
either the western or eastern fronts Is
believed TO have passed. But any ad
ditional gains, it is held here, must be
made at such frightful additional cost
in human lives and with such an extrav
agant waste of munitions that the peo
pie of the allied countries will cry for
peace.
News of the capture of Tutrakan for.
tress and the surrender of 10000 Ru.
manians aroused more enthusiasm here
than even the military Importance OF
the victory justified. Next to an inva.
sion of England no movement would be
more popular here than q drive north
ward to the capital of Rumania because
of the universal opinion that the Ru
manians tredcherOusly deserted theii
allies in declaring war.

Hughes Making Hot
Campaign In Maine
By Perry Arnold

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Lewiston, Maine, Sept. S.-Republi-
can Nominee Hughes blazed trail
across Maine today with whacks he
took at democracy.
The nominee is "opening up" in his
speeches, yery much to tae satisfaction
of Maine republican leaders. What is
apparently making the most emphatic
hit with his audiences is the hammer
and tongs way in which he is assail-
ing recent democratic enaetments.
The nominee is regular glutton for
campaigning. He also is "getting on
to" angles of the newspaper game and
becoming "wise' to the necessity of
seeing that his remarks are dissent
mated fully.

Hillsboro, Ore, Sept S.-A blood
stined shirt formed the principal link
today in the chain of circumstantial
evidence by which the state is at
tempting to convict Bennett Thompson
OF murder
The garment was found near the
Gore ranch where Mrs. Helen Jennings
and Fred Ristman, a jitney driver, were
killed last May.
1t is alleged that Thompson, ranch
hand, hider Ristman to drive him from
Portland to the house where Mrs. Jen-
nings was slain as she slept by blow
on the head from a sledge hammer. The
prosecution claims that Thompson then
killed Ristman to keep him from tell

quest Of many Nermonters who wish
to see a Younger man than either OF
the present senator's begin a career
in the United States Senate, and give
the best years OF his lille to serving
Vermont in that distinguished body.
Both of Nermonts senators are old
men who have passed the zenith OF
their lives. To ertain both there
means two Vermont sunsets rather
than one in the senate. The state
should have a man in that body build
ing up standing for himself and his
state while Sen Dillingham; Is filling
out his term or service.
Gov. Gates appeal to the voters is
simply this. 81 shall appreciate The

Vermont in the United States Senate
There win be no advertising, no so
Letting and no expenditure of money
on the part Of Gov Gates. He will
give dllligent attention to his duties
as governor and let the people make
their own choice for this important

this high Office a man who stands on
his integrity rather than his pocket
book.
Gov. Gates has made good in all the
public positions he has accepted. lie
