Vorwaertz of Berlin De-
clares Russia Received
Such an Offer
FROM THE GERMAN
GOVERNMENT
Premier Kerensky's State
ment Is Declared to
Be True

Copenhagen, Aug. 30.--The statement
that an offer of separate peace was made
to Russia recently by the German gov
ernment is published in the Socialist
newspaper Vorwaertz of Berlin. In this
connection the semi-official Norddeusch
Allge meine Zeitung is again detected by
the German press in an attempt TO throw
dust in eyes of the world and the Ger
man public by ostensibly denying Pre-
mier Kerensky's account of overtures to
Russia and its allies, which is charac-
terized as no denial at all by the Vor-
waertz, and other papers call attention
to the trick of the semi-official organ
in denying that such overtures were
made by Won Bethmann- Holwegg, where
as Premier Kerensky did not mention the
former chancellor, specifying that the
to Russia's allies were made
a few days ago, that is, since the re-
tirement of Hollweg. The Vorwaertz
adds, that such an offer actually was
made to Russia although not by Holl-
veg.

POLIO AT STATE HOSPITAL.
Guy Douglass, rs, nl-Condition Not Be-
lieved Serious.

Waterbury, Aug. 3o.--Guy Douglass
nephew of II. C. Douglass, state hospital
farmer, is i'll with poliomyelitis at the
state hospital, his left arm being par
alyzed He has been isolated in ward,
but his condition is not serious. He is
25 years of age.
1t was expected that the quarantine
on the village because OF polio would be
lifted this week, but this new case will
probably mean arother two weeks of
quarantine.
Every precaution is being taken and
but little anxiety is felt by the hospital
authorities because adults do not seem
as susceptible to the disease and there
are only a few children in the institu-
tion. A strict quarantine is expected
from the state board of health tenn
porary quarantine having been placed
at once upon everyone connected with
the hospital II is also expected that
the quarantine will hold throughout the
town and that churches, which were ex-
pected to be opened Sunday, will re-
main closer The two weeks limit on
other cases would be passed next Sun
day, the two recent cases reported from
this community, that of che Fuller and
Grace children being in the town of
Moretown.

BIC BOND BILL
MEETS DELAY
Republicans Would Limit Secretary's
Powers in Selling Foreign
Issues

Washington, Aug. 30.-Passage of the
Sll ,53S ,945 400 war bond and certificate
bill by the House before next Tuesday
or Wednesday was despaired Of last
night by administration leaders after a
day of little progress in the ways and
means committee. The plan had been
to pass it this week.
Secretary McAdoo again was ques-
toned for several hours about the gen.
eral fiscal relations of the United States
and her allies by Republicans Of the
committee, who later began a fight to
limit the secretary's authority in selling
foreign bonds, taken in exchange for
loans from this country.
Debate on the question will be re-
sumed to-day. The Republicans insist
there will be no assurance that this gov
ernment will receive dollar for dollar
for its loans, unless the authority to sell
foreign bonds below par is restricted.
Republicans made an unsuccessful eff
fort to-day to induce Democratic
Leader Kitchin to call financial experts
before the committee to testify regard
ing the possibility of disposing of the
bonds at the rates proposed by the bill. !

SEVEN HUNDRED EXPOSED.
Law Violated in Visit to Burlington of
Barre Child.

Burlington, Aug. 30.-Seven hundred
people in this city and the soldiers at
the post were exposed to poliomyelitis
last week.
The exposure took place when the
young child from Barre, whose case was
mentioned yesterday attended the band
concert last week in this city and
stopped off at the post on his way to
Barre
A health official said Ensign Crawford
of Barre was subject to prosecution in
this city as well as in Barre, as he has
violated the laws of both cities. The
law pertaining TO this particular case
was approved by the state. board and
adopted by the local boards of health.
and the gist of it is that people bringing
children to this city from sections where
infantile paralysis is prevalent shall
upon arrival here at once notify the
health officer and the child shall be quar-
antined for two weeks
In this case the ensign from Barre
who brought the child here failed to
comply with the law and notify the
health officer and, therefore, the exposure
to the citizens of this city and the sol
diers at the post is the result.

AUTO RIDE TO BURLINGTON
With Sail on Lake Champlain and Pic
mic Lunch.

The nemesis, rain, which has lurked in
the offing most of the time since the su-
perintendents arrived in Vermont, was
eluded yesterday when the entire party,
comprising the ''supers," their guests and
members of local organizations, enjoyed
an automobile ride to Burlington and a
trip across Lake Champlain. There was
moisture aplenty when the automobiles
started from Barre around s o'clock and
one or two light showers were encoun-
tered on the way, but before the fag end
of the auto ride was reached, the clouds
broke away and the last stretch was
completed under cerulean skies. Said
cerulean skies were in evidence all the
way over on the boat and back again.
The trip stands as one of one of the sue
cessful features of the 1917 convention
and nothing short of a Mardi gras in
Willismstowni gulf tomorrow will rob
the excursion as the most enjoyable out
ing Of the week.
After leaving Essex Junction, the au-
tomobiles, some 20 in number, swung
past the military reservation and the
tourists were privileged to see one Of the
many camps which Uncle Sam hiss estab-
ished throughout the nation. Arriving
in Burlington, the party made straight
for the dock and were soon embarking
,n the Ticonderoga- The well known |
ewel Of Nermont's superior scenery was
ooking its best and the trip to the New
