Lansing Denies Report That Slavs
viii Quit-country Is Only
Fatigued.

Washington, Nov. 5.-"Any state
ment that Russia has quit the war
is most unwarranted," declared Secre-
tary of State Lansing on Friday. His
statement was called out by headline
In a Washington newspaper, Russia
Quits War;" an assertion which the
secretary branded almost criminal"
and not borne out by the statements in
the story under the head and official
advfces.
Petrograd, Nov. 5.-Though declar-
ing Russia is worn out by the strain
of the war and must have help, Pre-
mier Kerensky told the correspondent
that his country was not out of the
war.
Russia" the premier repeated, sis
worn out. She has been fighting one
and a half years longer than Eng
land"

Calls Men Imposters.

Reports have reached the
United States food administra-
ton that men claiming to be its
representatives have attempted
to buy the home-canned prod
ucts put up by housewives in z
various parts of the country,
claiming that they did this by
order of the food administra-
tors. These men are imposters,
the food administration never
having sanctioned their policy
or activities. Former rumors
that the government contemplat
ed the communicating Of home
canned goods also have been of

CEMENT FLOOR IN
GARAGE FROZE
Fires in 15 Braziers Being Employed by
Contractor to Thaw Out Floor in
Manley's New Building.

The difficulties encountered in the
construction of buildings in winter
weather are many and varied and one
of them is illustrated in the effort on
the part of the contractor to save the
cement floor laid the other day on
the new Manley building. The men
seized what was considered a favorable
opportunity and worked without ceas
ing until the floor had been laid. Al
most before the job was completed
tdc weather changed to severe cold and
IN spite Of everything that could be
done at the time the cement froze.
The contractor then covered the en-
tire tloorlng with heavy bed Of straw
and built fires in II big braziers IN
der the floor. The problem is to thaw
out the floor and permit it to set. If
the present effort is successful there
VIII have been only a little extra ex.
pense. If the floor cracks it will be
necessary to tear it all up and do the
work over again which will make con
siderable extra expense.

of a GraduaI Decline
of a Gradual Decline.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Admiral
Dewey S condition was such this morn
ing that his doctors said he was very
weak and it was feared his once great
vitality might fail at any time.
In bulletin issued this morning by
physicians the admiral s condition was
stated as follows:
Admiral Dewey has been suffering the
past five days from a general break
down, consequent upon his so years of
age. For several days there was some
Improvement and at one time it ap-
peared as if he might rally and succeed
IN overcoming the depression of certain
organs.
Last night the admiral slept fairly
well. At times he was irrational and
showed evidences of gradual decline.
This morning he is very weak and his
general condition is such as to fear that
his once great vitality may fail at
any time -
At clock this afternoon the doc
tors gave out report to the effect that
Admiral Dewey was slowly sinking.

Board of Trade Directors
Appoint Committee to
Draft Bills
PUBLIC MEETING
TO BE HELD SOON
Aim Is to Centralize Government Of
Town, Village and Incorporated
School District Present System
Cumbersome

With a view to giving the people of
brattleboro an opportunity to say
whether or not they favor a more cen
trahzed, and in thu opinion of MANY
a more efficient, form of government
the directors of the board of trade at
meeting Saturday evening appointed
a special committee composed of Sen
ator Hermon f. Eddy, Representative
George L. Durham, Chairman E. w.
Gibson of the village commissioners.
Herber G. Barber and Robert C. Bacon
to draw up bills embodying the legis-
latlon necessary to this end and pre-
sent them informally at public meet
ing within the next two weeks. This
action came at the close Of a meeting
at which the Capitalization idea was
very thoroughly discussed, and while
there was no disposition on the part of
those present tc dictate what changes
should be made it was the general
feeling that it would be wise to get
from the present session of the legis-
lature, II possible. legislation which
would permit the townspeople to vote
on the question.
In order to get rid of the present
cumbersome form of government it
would be necessary to bring about the
passage of special act giving the
town authority to acquire the assets
and assume the liabilities of ;se vii
iage and the incorporated school dis
trict. provided these corporations
voted to relinquish their existence, and
also to an act under which the town
would have the right, if it so voted,
to delegate the duties now performed
by various officials to one person hired
especially for that purpose.
Bills embodying these changes will
be drawn up by the special commit
tee and presented at q public meeting
to be called within the next two
weeks, the idea being to get as many
views as possible on the changes that
are desirable. When the bills have
been passed upon informally they will
be introduced in the legislature. and
upon their passage it will be possible
for the voters of the town, village and
incorporated school district to decide
what formal action shall be taken.
1t was the consensus of opinion of
those present at Saturday evenings
meeting that Brattleboro's present
wheel within a-wheel system is cumber-
some, inefficient and consequently ex-
pensive, and that it would be wise to
abolish the village and incorporated
school district provided the town could
secure authority to turn over to one
man the duties now handled by various
officials. Whether such a scheme is
worth trying is for the voters to say,
but there seems to be no good reason
why the question should not be put up
to them.
