Theological seminary tonight on the
League to Enforce Peace, former
President Willitm Harvard Taft en-
dorsed President Wilson's peace mes
sage in these words:
81 cannot close without referring to
the eloquent and noble address of
President Wilson to the senate on
Monday last We who favor league
rejoice sincerely that the President
has so strongly expressed his convic-
tion of the high duty of the United
States to help organize the worlds
power to suppress national lawless-
ness and enforce due procedure for
the peaceful settlement of interna-
tional differences. His speech is an
epoch in the history of our foreign
policy. His advocacy of our partici-
patton in world league is most
powerful aid to its formation. 1t in
sures the attention and interest of the
American people who must ultimately
judge Of the wisdom Of the policy be-
fore we enter upon 1t. 1t will stimu-
late discussion of our world RESPONSE
bility and of the burdens we should
assume in meeting it.
1--WE cordially sympathize, too, with
the Presidents insistence that the
United States cannot join in world
movement to preserve a peace which
is unjust and contains in its unfair
terms assurance of its temporary
character.

Presidents Predecessor Says Senate
Speech is An Epoch In
Foreign Policy.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Military and
naval preparedness 10 back up Presi-
dent Wilson's league TO enforce peace
plan, was demanded here tonight
by Elihu Root of New York, speaking
before a congress of constructive pa
triotism under the direction of the
National Security league. The form
er secretary of state declared he fully
sympathized with. the Presidents
peace purpose as outlined in his re-
cent senate speech, but added such an
agreement among nations TO maintain
peace would be worthless and mean
ingless unless the nations entering
into the compact keep their full pow
er behind it. Mr.. Rood said:
Much noble idealism is to be
found in the Presidents utterance.
The kind of peace he describes is the
peace that ! long for. But the way
he sees to preserve that peace is by
preparation for war. Ii will be a
worthless agreement on our part 1t
we haven't ship, or soldier that
we can contribute to the war, II war
there should be. for the maintenance
of that peace. And it absolutely re-
quires that we shall build up force,
potential power of arms, commensu-
rate with our size, our numbers. our
wealth, cur dignity, our part among
the nations of the earth
Ringing applause from the 1000 or
more that iammed the hall punctuat-
ed the remarks of the speaker.
The Presidents declaration that
peace must be a peace without vic
tory" was heartily endorsed by Mr..
Root.

Take a glass Of Salts If your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers--
Meat forms uric acid.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel 1t from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full OF sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.

GERMANS WIN ON RIGA FRONT
Russians Fail to Stop Advance Over
Frozen Marshes,


Frozen Marshes.
London, Jan. 26-The big battle be-
tween the Germans and Russians ov-
er the frozen Tirul marsh southwest
of Rigo continues unabated Furth-
er progress for the Germans along
both sides of the Aa river is reported
by Berlin
Petrograd admits that southeast
of the river of Russians have had to
fall back third of a mile, but says
the attacks by the Germans on the
marsh were repulsed.
Aside from this battle, the fighting
in the various theatres continues to
be carried out mainly by the artillery
and small reconnoitering and railing
parties. In Rumania the extremely
cold weather has virtually put an
end to the operations for the mo-
ment.
Lively fighting has taken place on
the famous Dead Man hill, in the
Verdun region of France, but no de-
tails of it have been made public. Re-
ciprocal artillery duels, which have
reached considerable proportions at
several points, are being fought from
the Swiss frontier to the North sta.

Montpelier, Jan. 25.-Furthe- op-
position to H. 80. the administration
measure which proposes the consoli-
dation of the departments of agri-
culture and forestry under a commits
sioner of agriculture. developed at to-
days hearing on the bill before the
agricultural committee. ExState For
ester A. f. Halves of Burlington. G..
II. Mcneil OF Bloomfield, secretary of
the Vermont Timberland association,
and number of the prominent lnm-
Der men throughout the State, appear
ed TO oppose the passage of the bill
The main grounds of opposition to the
bill seem to be that it would make the
forestry department subsidiary TO the
department of agriculture and that it
would not be possible to obtain a
trained forester to carry out the work
in the way it should be done and have
him act in the capacity and for the
salary OF deputy.
There was a further hearing this
afternoon on the bill to increase the
salary of the State fish and game com
missioner from $500 to $4,000. Sew
erel speakers appeared before the
committee on State and court eX-
penses having the bill in charge to
speak in its favor. If the bill fails to
pass, the present incumbent of the
office, John w. Titcomb, may resign
at once.
At temperance hearing the Fen
ton bill which calls for the election OF
three commissioners in each town to
grant liquor licenses If the town votes
fer saloons was discussed. Supt. c.
II. Smith of the Vermont Anti-Saloon
League. the Rev. f. X. Sherburne and
the Rev. F. Barnby Leach spoke in
favor of the bill.
Three woman suffrage bills made
their appearance in the House today,
the first one being introduced by the
Rev. Fraser MetZger of Randolph at
the morning session and providing
that every female citizen OF 81 years
or more having resided in the State
on year next preceding a general elec-
ton, shall have the same rights as
men to vote for presidential electors.
Representative Stearns of Burling-
ton introduced another at the after
noon session amending certain Sec
tions of the Public Statutes and pro-
viding that the polls of all inhabitants
from 21 to 20 years Of age shall be
listed at 81. Polls of unmarried
widows of Civil War veterans are to
be exempt The bill also provides that
all citizens over Il years of age may
vote in town meetings. Mr. Moore of
Ludlow introduced bill providing
that female citizens of 2l years whose
list is taken at the annual assess
ment, preceding town meeting,
shall while residing in such town be
voter.

WOMEN OF q VOTE.
IN ALL SCHOOL
MEETINGS
Privilege Granted in Amendment
Made By Legislature of 1915
NEED NOT BE TAXPAYERS
Law Also Provides that Women May
Hold Elective and Appointlve
Offices.

All women, 21 years of age, are en-.
titled to vote in all school meetings
and to hold elective and appointive
Offices relative to school affairs.
When the franchise in school matters
was originally granted in Vermont 1t
was specified that women so voting
should be taxpayers. The law as it
now stands grants the privilege to all
women whether they are property
owners or not This right was con-
veyed to all women by the legislature
of 1915 in the act to codify and amend
the elementary school laws and the
particular section, No. 16, reads as
follows:
Women may vote and hold
office. Women, twenty-one years
of age, shall have the same rights
as men to vote on matters per-
tanning to schools and school Of
pointive offices relating to school
affairs. This section shall not be
construed as requiring the pay
ment of poll taxes by women.
There were few women present
at the meeting of the voters of the
graded school district Wednesday
evening at high school hall. Had it
been generally known that the women
of Bennington would have the same
standing in the meeting as the men
voters the attendance would undoubt-
edly have been larger.
At the meeting Wednesday even
ing no conclusion was reached on the
proposal to rescind the charter of the
graded school district and an adjourn
ment was taken to next Monday.
