GOVERNOR GATES
LIKELY To CALL

To Provide For MiIitiamen and
Their Families
GOVERNOR MAKES STATEMENT
General Assembly Was Called To.
gether in 1898 at Outbreak of
War With Spain.

Montpelier, June 20.-While the
military department of Vermont has
bent every effort for the past 4S hours
to put the state troops in readiness for
mobilization at Fort Ethan Allen
Thursday, the executive department
has concerned itself with the possible
necessity Of making provision for as
sisting the families and dependents of
enlisted men and tonight there seems
every reason to believe that Gov. Char
les w. Gates will find it necessary to
convene the General Assembly in ex-
traordinary session as was done at
the opening of the Spanish-American
wa.
Adjutant Gen. Lee S. Tillotson OF
St. Adams has been in conference with
Gov. Gates regarding the necessity of
providing aid for such of Vermont mil
tia as may be mustered into the fed
eral service. At the close of the con-
ference at midnight the secretary of
civil and military affairs, Maj Benia-
min Gates, gave out the following
statement from Gov. Gates:-
Sudli Gull Il SpeCldl SbSSlOH VI
the Legislature just as soon as it
appears that the state troops are to
be held in federal service any length
of time. War has not been declared
and the nature and length of service
of our state troops has not been suffi-
GENTLY determined to justify the ex-
nense and trouble of a special session
Immediately. | do wish to say, how
ever, that If the present situation is
prolonged in any degree that the state
should provide for additional pay for
enlisted men and for any exigencies
that may arise
"The state should also amply pro-
vide for the families and dependents OF
enlisted men. This seems imperative
as the members of the national guard,
married or unmarried, are ordered into
service by the president and are oblig-
ed to respond. There is no option on
the part of the individual as there was
with the volunteers of the Spanish
American war.
THE present situation demands
| our serious attention and it is my
desire that Vermont perform her full
duty in the present trouble with Mexi-
co that the protection of the American
| people may be assured"

London, June 29.-Simultaneousl
with official Austrian admission to-
night that the lett wing of General
Brusiloff's army has crossed the
Sereth, driving the Austro-Hungarian
before them in the direction of the Car
pathians, came statemtnt by the Ger
man war office announcing that the
Teutons have broken the resistance
Of the Russian center and are fight
ing their way forward.
Tonights official Russian report be-
gins with the statement that "the enc
my is furiosly counter attacking Gen
eral Brussiloff's armies"
Thus the days official news from the
eastern theatre indicates that General
Won Linsingen, who commands the Aus
tro-German forces in Volhynia has be
gun the great anking movement de.
signed to sweep the Russian center
back beyond Lutzk and Dubno and then
enyelop Brussiloff's Bukowina and Ga
licia armies.
The crossing of the Sereth, lengthen-
ing as it does the Russian lines of
communication still further, is believed
to add tGthe sudden peril in which the
Russian right wing finds itself, now
that the thrust against Kovel, the
commanding railway intersection, ap-
parently has failed.
The next twenty-four hours are
looked for by military critics to decide
whether the Russian offensive has suf-
ficient driving power to beat back the
Teutons in Volhynia beyond Kovel, or
whether German strategy and rein
forcement have once more saved the
Austrians from adhesive defeat.

How To Get Well

This is the best health hint that has
been published in long long time.
The human mind is curious thing
and when it is fed upon symptoms
of various kinds of sickness, the aver

needs attention.
1t is on this that many patent

every individual is very likely to have
even when enjoying good health, and
the mind, picking up the suggestions,
begins to get in its curious work.
II Is true that sickness. or health,
is in large measure a state of mind.
Persons whose bodies, by every test
known to medical science, are sound
and healthy, can be perfectly miser-
able through the power of suggestion
and continued dwelling on their fan

Take an average man. He thinks
he has heart trouble. kidney disease

Prohibition and Prosperity In Russia


Figures designed to show the new
prosperity which prohibition has
brought to Russia would be consider
ably more convincing il they were less
impressive. The ears ukase had
hardly had time to go into effect be-
fore Lloyd.George. working for pro-
hibition in England, was declaring
that Russian efficiency had been in
creased 40 per cent. Then Russia
slumped and the beer-drinking Teu-
tons went on from victory to victory,
Now that the cars armies are once
more trimuphantly advancing, we get
new statistics of Russian prosperity,
even more imposing than the first.
That the wealth of the peasant com
munities has been increased 60 per
cent is the claim of Ivan Narodny,
secretary of the Russian.American
Asiatic corporation. While in the
other bellgerent countries an in
crease in lawbreaking has been de-
plored, in Russia criminality has de
creased 3S per cent. More remark
able still, general welfare, whatever
that may mean. has increased 80 per
cent. What index he uses to get so
mathematical a result is not stated
1t is a pity to compromise so good
cause as that OF temperance with
figures that provoke suspicion. That
vodka was doing great harm to Rus
sia and that reform was urgently
needed is generally admitted. But
that two years of disastrous warfare
in which II has lost its richest and
most populous territories and millions
of men and has been forced to Dor
row till the purse strings of its allies
cracked that two such years should
have difused the radiance of prosper
ity over the somber empire of the

ENLIST FOR U. S. ARMY
Greeks, Italians and Others Anxious to
Go to Front.

Springfield, June 20.-Applicants of
all nationalities offered to enlist in the
regular army at the recruiting station
at II Hampden street yesterday as a
result CT the calling out of the militia
for duty on the Mexican border. Most
of the men desired to serve only dur
ing the hostilities. These were re-
ferred to the officers in charge of the
recruiting at the armory, as the law
compels men enlisting in the regular
army to serve the full term unless
disabled or unless they buy their dis
charge. An unusually large number
of men applied at the Office and most
of them said they had been stirred
to action on account OF the fact that
the militia was to serve.
A noticeable fact was the number
of Greek and Italian applicants who
seemed anxious to go to the front for
their adopted land. The greater num-
Der were OF foreign birth. Several
men were accepted, one of them being
Charles II. Forester of Holyoke, who
enlisted in the engineer corps and
was sent to Fort Slocum, n. Y. In
terest in the army has increased dur
ing the past few days since word was
received that the Mexican situation
appeared threatening.

New York, June 21-The Democratic
campaign will open here this week with

brought here yesterday by Vance Nc

Committee Chairman who is to run
President Wilson's campaign. Mr.. Nc

Providence, r. l., June 90
Charles Il. Hughes today kept his
promise to exclude politics from his Wis
to do so. He spent much of his time
walking about the estate of Benjamin
Barker, a classmate, at Tiverton,
twenty-siX miles from here, talking
over old times with twenty-eight other
alumni who were graduated at Brown
University with him in 1881. They had
clambake and sang the old college
songs.
In the lobbies of the hotels in
Providence, however, Mr.. Hughes was
unable to prevent demonstrations in his
behalf and members of the various
classes of Brown who gathered here
gave their college yells, always with
the name of Hughes as the final word,
Evidently Brown University in filled
with enthusiasm over the honor which
has been paid to one of its graduates.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 2O.-Saga-
more Hill was the scene of another con-
ference today in which Colonel Roose-
welt met number of Progressive lead
ers, the majority of whom stayed to
luncheon and spent nearly the whole
afternoon in discussion. When they
left Oyster Bay in the evening it was
felt that the decision Of Colonel Roose
welt to support Hughes had been made
final.
The men who lunched with Mr.
Roosevelt were George Won l.. Meyer
former secretary of the Navy, who or
ganized the Roosevelt Republican com
mittee before the Chicago covention
Charles j. Bonaparte, former Attorney
General, who was one of the confereeS
appointed by the Progressives to NEE

vention in an effort at compromise
DR.. H. Nelson Jackson, National Com
mitteeman for Vermont, and William
H. Dye, National Committeeman fo
Indiana. William Savacool, Nationa
Committeeman for New Hampshire
came late in the afternoon.
1t was learned on good authority las
night that statement for publication
would be made by Colonel Roosevelt
probably on Monday, showing a decid
edly friendly attitude toward Charlie
Il. Hughes, Republican nominee fo
president.
While the exact nature of this state
ment could not be learned and Will
1t is not known whether the Colone
will pledge his support to Mr.. Hughes
1t is expected that the statement wi
augur such support.

MEANING OF IRISH NAMES
Changes Have Come in Spelling Since
Early Times.

EdTlJ lntS.
The fact is not generally known that
Ireland was the first country in mod
ern Europe to enforce the adoption OF
surnames by law. The act prescribing
their general use was passed more
than a hundred years before the Anglo
Norman invasion, whereas surnames
did not come into general use in Eng
land until the days Of Queen Elizabeth,
nor in Wales till late in the 18th cen
tury.
There are some interesting mean
ings attaching to the most common OF
Irish names. Here are a few, says Tit
Bits, with the curious changes of spell
ing that have come about since the
names first originated.
Murphy came from O'Murphy, Mer-
phey and Morphew, meaning super.
ior;" Kelly came from O'Kelly, Kiely,
Kelley, meaning "for war; 0Connor
from Connors, Conerty, meaning help
err" and Dougherty from O'Doherty,
Doherty, Daughaday, meaning de
stroyer." 1t is noticeable that all
Irish names at the first stage in their
history had 90" before them, the first
change consisting of dropping that
"O,"lt will not be necessary, there
fore. to repeat the name with the 90
before il.
Sullivan was originally Sillfant and
Sullivant, meaning "Qiuck sighted;
| O'Donnell and Mcdonnell and all com
binations of that name were Donald
Daniel, Dona, meaning dark chief"
Molonty was O'Mullowney, Meloney
Mullany meaning "thoughtful;" Nc
Cormack was O'Cormac, McCormac
Mccormick, meaning "son of tn,
crown" Flynn was Fiann, meaning
red Flanagan was Finnegan, mean
ing Druid" Boyle was Boylan, BE
land, Bolan, Boylin, meaning "benigh; !;
O'Brian was Bryan, Bryant, Brines
Bryon, meaning author" Brady wa
McBrady, meaning ship captain" an
Macauley was O'Cawlew, McCawley
McAuly, McAuliff. Cawley, meanin
echo" or literally "son of the rock.
