INTERPRETERS IN POLITICS OF
NEIGHBORS TO LINE HER
AGAINST TEUTONS
The Government Has
Been Wholly Neutral
Old Line Politicians Join in Move
ment to Better Their Fortunes

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 9.-For ONE
time past there have been strang
rJmblings in the internal politics of
Paraguay, the agitation coming from
the civic elements. which are opposed
70 the present government and from
other %dissenters who have joined in
the fight against the government,
headed by Senior Franco, whose cabi-
net contains such famous personages
as Schaerer. GOndra, Saguier, Gaona,
Chirife, Velazquez. Soler, Gonzales,
Duarte and Z~ubizaretta.
Since the time, not far past, when
the tyraSnies of the army and the
blows of the state succeeded each
other with great rapidity. politics in
Paraguay have had a quiet period in
which the national finances were
slowly but surely recovering under
the auspices of the present govern
ment and the public has on several
occasions demonstrated its faith in
the government.
Now. all of a sudden. the opposing
elements form a conjunction with the
deposed politicians. who are always
perpetual enemies of the existing gov
eminent, no matter how good it is.
and begin to fOment an instruction
as a blow against the state. And it is
said on reliable information that in
tornatiOnal politics are playing an i'm
portant part in this state of affairs.
Ii appears that Brazilian diplomatists
believe il necessary to keep alive this
opposition in order to combat the
strong pro-German tendencies of the
government. which until now, how
ever, has maintained a strict neu-
trality.
In view of the Brazilian activity
in the internal affairs OF Paraguay.
the present u~pheavals are not difficult
to understand. some such disturbance
usually occurring in South American
republics which permit outside influ-
ences to direct their affairs.
h P-araguayan newspapers and
those of this city openly charge the
Brazilian embassy with having awak-
ened and kept alive the tension be-
tween Paraguay and Bolivia concern
ing the old litigation regarding the
frontier between the two countries.
The charge appears reasonable in the
face of the fact that Paraguay and
Bolivia have let the question lie DOR
mant for a long time with the great
Chaco district claimed by both. but
in only Il formal manner, each being
content TO let the other make his
counter claims, because Of the vast
ness and wildness of the section in
dispute.

CHORAL SURGERY FOR
ILLINOIS CANTONMENT
Gnternational News service)

49, 'OCN
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Aug. 9.-Mor-
al surgery is to be arranged for at
Rockford by DR.. G. st. Clair Drake,
of the state board of health, in a cam
paign to make that city the %cleanest,
both from a medical and a moral
viewpoint, in Illinois, while the draft
ed soldiers of the state are held at
the cantonment camp here.
DR.. Drake and his assistants in the
Rockford branch of the health board
will work in cooperation with army
medical men. Their part will be in
general to see that the city and a five
mile zone about the camp are a veri-
table "spotless town" Sanitation in
the actual camp itself will be left to
the military medical authorities.
Communicable diseases will be the
first thing to engage the attention of
Or. Drake. He will make a survey
of all disorderly houses and order all
inmates to appear before him. Every
case of communicable disease will be
ferreted out and many women of the
underworld will be asked to leave.
Failing to do so, the house in which
she lives will be placarded. Having
taken over the supervision of the
houses, he will establish a force which
will continue the work as long as any
soldiers of the United States army re-
main in Rockford.
Another step will be the establish
ment of a tuberculosis observation and
inspection hospital, at which a close
watch will be kept for tubercular SOL
dIers and civilians who might endan-
ger the health of the soldiers. An
equally close watch for cases of in
fictitious diseases such as smallpox.
typhoid or measles will be in force.
Within a five-mile zone around the
cantonment camp the state will take
over the disposal of sewerage and gar
bage and see that the latter is de-
stroyed in a sanitary manner
by hard work and the employment
OF a large staff of disease prevention
experts, think we can make the Ill
inois cantonment camp an example
in healthfulness for all the similar
camps in America" DR.. Drake said.
The climate of northern Illinois is
excellent. The camp itself will be kept
in the best of sanitary condition by
skilled army physicians. If we can
do the same thing in Rockford and in
a zone around the camp, there should
he a percentage of sickness among the
soldiers much smaller than in ordin-
airy civil life.
"A soldier may feel that he is Of
fering his life to his country, but it is
the duty of his country to see that
the life is kept intact until it's loss
will be in actual attempt to gain the
cause for which it was offered"

to the break between this country and
Germany the two important railroad
bridges at this junction are to be guard
ed night and day by armed men pro-
vided by the United States government
Eight men will be on duty, two at
each bridge day and night. All pedes-
trians with the exception of those who
have passes, were barred from the use
of the bridges yesterday and were no.
titled that hereafter they must use the
highway bridge
The bridges in question are the one
known as the northern bridge over the
Connecticut river on the Concord divis-
sion of the Boston and Maine, which
connects this village and West Lcha-
non, \. H., and the Passumpsic bridge
over the White river on the Passumpsic
division of the same railroad.
These two bridges are important links
in trunk lines between Boston and Mon
treal. p O.. and the destruction Of Ell
ther one would be a serious matter it
the rapid movement of troops or equip
ment from this section should become
necessary
The northern bridge has been used ex-
tensively to pedestrians for years as it
shortens the distance TO West Leha
non by more than a mile. The closing
OF the bridge viii mean a great hard
shin to many persons who are employed
in this village and have homes on the

WANT sUIToR TO RUN.
Socialists May Propose Him for Mayor
of Barre

Socialists in mass meeting at the Gran
ite street auditorium Saturday evening
reeonsidered their original purpose to re
frain from active participation in th
city election and discussed earnestly sew
eral proposals to nominate candidates fo
all offices. Out of the meeting has grown
an effort to fuse with laboring men OF
the candidacy of Fred w. Suitor for th'
mayoralty. Ii it were left to the Social
| lists of Barre, members of the English
| Italian and Finnish locals, Mr.. Suitol
would be the mayor after Mayor Cor
don's term expires. But party members
are anxious to add to the strictly parti
san support, and the word has gone out
that an attempt will be made to get tn,
endorsement of organized labor.
In bidding for labor's support, Social.
lists point to Mr.. Suitor's position oi
prominence in the councils of organized
labor in Vermont and the nation. He is
president of the state branch, secretary
treasurer of the Quarry Workers Inter
national association, and member OF
the legislative committee of the state
federation. At divers times he has repre-
sented his union at the annual conven-
tion of the A. + of L. and has been ae-
tive as a state organizer. Thus, it is to
be emphasized when the party begins its
appeal to labor. Just now a committee
of labor men appointed at labor mass
meeting Friday night is under instrue-
tions to report at an adjourned meeting
to be held in carpenters hall Wednesday
evening, and if the Socialists attain their
ends. it is possible that the committee
viii report favorably on Mr.. Suitor's
candidacy. In any event, it is expected
that friends of Mr.. Suitor will make a
bid for support in the Wednesday night
meeting.
The Socialists are to have another
meeting of their own in the Granite
street auditorium Tuesday evening. Can
didates for the mayoralty, aldermen and
other offices viii be definitely fixed. No
opposition to Mr.. Suitor's candidacy has
developed. and his nomination on the
Socialist ticket is foregone conclusion.
Likewise that of Gilbert Phillips, who
was mentioned for the Office of city clerk
and treasurer at the Saturday evening
In ward ! potential candidates
for the aldermanic berth are John Moruz-
ii, William Mathieson and Harry King.
Ward 3 men who are mentioned in CON
nection with the aldermanio vacancy that
is to occur are Antonio Broggi Andrew
Young and Matthew Mikkonen.
John I. Csllaghan is up as possible
candidate for the aldermanie honor in
the fifth ward. but there are those who
favor Y. Lettini. manager Of the coop
eratiye store. That is as far as the So
rialists have been, but they are going
the whole distance, and if the amalgama-
ton plan works out they feel that the
rest of the way will be comparatively
1asy going.

signed on Getting Word of Break Be-
tween United States and Germany.

United States and Germany; and the
resignation was accepted temporarily by
President Benton of the university pend,
ing the meeting of the trustees on We'd
nesday, Feb. ID.
For some time there has been consid-
cradle feeling over the continued pres
ence of Prof. Appelmann on the univer-

so far as to conduct an investigation of
Prof. Appelmann's alleged activity in
negotiations between Germans in Ger.
many and in the United States. Prof
Appelmann had Offered to resign. but
President Benton was disposed to have
him remain because of his belief in aca.
demic freedom of thought until there
should come a break between the two
countries.
Immediately on receipt of the news
of the break, however, there was a CON
ference between the two men. followed
by the resignation and the acceptance
of the resignation. Contrary to the ru-
mors about the city, there had been no
request on the part Of the federal gov

Prof. Appelmann to resign. The profes-
sor's connection with the university
ceased Saturday although he will be al
lowed to use his quarters in Converse
