AUGUST IMPORTS AT PORT
OF NEW YORK WERE HEAVY

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The custom
house report of imports in August at
the port of New York has just been is
sued. It shows that the value of for
.eign merchandise received here in the
period was considerably in excess of
the low record Of July, when entries
amounted to only $9,5717213. The Au-
gust imports climbed up to $122 ,231,,
$50, but failed to approximate the June
entries, which were $154,901, 9S4 One
year ago in August imports totaled
I$1O7920,942.
The inward movement from Europe
in August reached $37 ,081, 486, AGAINST
ISIS, 612,213 in July and $42,364,3S1 in
August, 1916. French goods received
here last month had a value of SIS, 455,-
'234, gain OF more than 100000, as
compared with July. There was a fall
ing off in merchandise receipts from
England in August, as English, the to-
tai being $12,SS4,1732, compared with
l$12,432,789 in the month before
Scotch and Irish shipments also were
below those of July August witness
ed, however, a squirt in imports from
Russia, their value being set down at
Isl, 161,397, whereas in July the new
republic was credited it'll only $479, 500
Imports at New York last month from
North and South America, Asia, Africa
and Oceania gained in comparison with
July, and with the exception of social
ed North American imports, were de-
cidedly heavier than in August, 1916.

WOULD KEEP RECORD
BIRTHS AND DEATHS
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITU-
TION REQUIRING THESE STATS
TICS IN EVERY STATE WILL BE
PROPOSED.

WASHINGTON, September 30-The
administration will soon start a drive
for new amendment to the federal
constitution which will empower the
census bureau under the department
of commerce to keep a record of all
births and deaths in the United States.
This country is woefully behind Eu-
iropean nations in the matter of ade-
quate vital statistics Only 70 states
in the union keep birth records that
are acceptable to the federal census
bureau Twenty-six states keep full
and scientific records of deaths.
Sam Rogers, director of the census,
says America can catch up with the
nations of Europe in keeping vital sta
,tistics only by making it national
rather than state job. To do this,
he feels would undoubtedly require an
amendment to the federal constitution.
for the national government has only
those powers which are expressly del
egated to it.
Statisticians and social workers have
long bemoaned the lack of full vital
statistics in the United States. In many
ways it is a serious handicap to ma
tional efficiency.
Here's how: The United States re-
Gently called upon all men between the
ages of q and 81 to register for the
military draft Such a registration
cannot be 100 per cent perfect unless
there is 100 per cent registration Of
births.
Hundreds of men, for instance, did
rot know their exact age. Please tell
me how old 1 am many Of these write
the census bureau. But the bureau
was helpless.
Enforcement of the child labor law
j. also hampered by the lack of birth
statistics.

SELLS-FL0TO CIRCUS
COMING TO AMERICUS

With travelling cities such as the
sells-Floto circus, which will visit
Americas, Saturday, October 18th, is
ar army of employees of which the pub
lis sees nothing. These are attaches
who take no part in the performance,
but devote themselves to tasks that
make possible for the circus to move.
Among them are trainmen, car por-
ters, cooks, waitress and BARRIERS.
The routine of their work is such
that they seldom see the performance,
and the volume of their tasks is so
great that they seldom leave their re-
sDective posts To keep three circus
trains in repair, to feed three meals a
day to hungry army, to serve these
meals and to keep hundreds of men
presentable to the public is no easy
task. This is the class of work per-
formed by the unseen army.
While the cooks and walters are
busy preparing meals of the day the
car porters are busy keeping the sleep
ing cars in ship-shape. About the
only thing common to the Broadway
hotel that is not common to the circus
is the telephone However, its need in
the circus business has not yet been
demonstrated Every employe with the
circus knows his duties and his place
The routine followed during that day
is such that any employe is always
within beck and call of the manage
ment.
While the public sees all the grand
and glorious about the circus it little
realizes that he pleasure of seeing the
show is largely dependent upon the
concerted efforts Of the hidden army Of
workers.

100000 TONS SUNK
German Claim Of Submarine Destruc-
tion in Two Months.

va l-OiidOll, %ABi II
In the first two months of unre-
stricted submarine warfare shipping
to the amount of more than $500 ,0O0
tons was sunk by the Germans, DR..
Karl Helfferich, German secretary of
interior. told the Reichstag main
COMMITTEES Saturday. Asserting that
the submarine campaign was proving
to be a great success, he continued:
'9rhe first months results excelled
the best previous results by 25 per
cent: the second months by so per
cent Exact figures cannot be given,
but in the first two months the freight
tonnage sunk exceeded 100000, of
which more than 100000 was Brit
ish From our figures one may esti-
mate the total tonnage still available
for British trade at 100000 to TO-
100000 II is clear the British mer-
chant fleet cannot long bear sinking
at the present rate. Adequate sub
stitutions by new construction are i'm
possible. as the British increase in
ships in 1916, notwithstanding every
effort, was not sufficient even to re-
place the normal diminution of peace
time"
After having produced further sta
tistics and given deductions tending
to show that Great Britain's position
is rapidly growing worse, Dr. Helf-
ferich continued: "The wooden ships
which the United States intends to
build to save Great Britain will in all
probability only come into use when
they have nothing more TO save.
Great Britains attempt to alleviate
her difficulties by drastic restrictions
in importatiOns of the less essential
commodities is doomed to failure, be-
cause of her total imports in 1916
of 100000 tons. 31,0O0,000 tons
consisted of foodstuffs, luXuries,
wood and iron and among the rest
We're many things indispensable in
war times DR.. Helfferich then con-
oluded: 1--WE in Germany have been
kept short, but we stand secure The
war of starvation is turned against
its originators. The American apost-
les of humanity who are trying to
drive our neutral neighbors to war
against us with threats of death will
not turn the scales OF fate.
Realizing her position, Great Brit
ain is seeking a decision on land, driv
ing hundreds of thousands of her
sons to death and ruin The belief
that she could comfortably wait until
hunger had conquered us and until
her great brother beyond the water
came TO her rescue has disapDeared
If we remain true to ourselves, keep
calm, maintain our nerve and keep
our own house in order by maintain
ing internal unity we have won the
war. In these decisive weeks the
German people has to prove that it is
worthy To exist ~

MARSHAL J0FFRE INTERVIEWED
Says American Troops Should Be

Washington, April Marshal Joffre
told the people of America today
through Washington newspaper cor
respondents who called on him that
France cherishes the confident hope
that the flag of the United States soon
would be flying on her battle lines.
Victories are surt to be won

republics, once more fighting

erty, declared the hero of the Marne
will hasten the end Of the war and
tighten the links of affection and es-
TEEN which have ever united France
and the United States"
The Marshal, replying to questions,
said he deemed 1t advisable to send
one American unit at a time to France
rather than to wait for the complete
equipment of big army, because of
transportation problems. He said, too,
that he did not think Americans now

GERMANS LOSE TRENCHES
Another System of Defences Taken
by Haiu's Troops.

London, April 30.-The three mile
stretch of territory from Arleux-En-
Gohelle to Gavrelle is still the
scene of great battles for supremacy
between the British and the Germans,
and the British continued to have the
advantage. Another trench systemS
a barrier to the forward march of
Field Marshal Haigs forces toward
Douai. has been taken over a front of
a mile in most sanguinary fighting.
The new position lies south of Oppy
and runs almost to the outskirts of
Gavrelle.
Berlin has admitted the loss to the
Canadians of Arleux-En -Gohelle and
of other parts of the field to Marshal
Haig's army of Oppy and positions
near Gavrelle and Roeux, which are
characterized as advanced positions"
The German war Office adds, however,
that except for ArleuX all positions
were regained and that the British
suffered heavy losses.
Since the recommencement of the
offensive Saturday the number of pris
oners taken by the British has ma
terially increased, nearly 1000 Ger
mans having been sent to the prison
er cages back of the fighting line up
to Sunday evening.
Although unofficial advices say
Roeux is the scene of a titanic
struggle the official reports make no
mention of the fact.

TWICE APPOINTED
BY PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND
John Robinson, Who Died at Home
Here Saturday Afternoon
DEATH DUE TO ApOplExY
Prominently Identified with Demo.
cratic Organization Of Vermont
For Half Century.

John Robinson, who had passed his
life since infancy in Bennington
county, who had been prominently
identified with the democratic organi-
zation of Vermont for more than half
century and who had held import
ant Offices in the gift of his town,
the county and the national govern
ment, passed away at his home on
Elm street Saturday afternoon. Death
was due to apoplexy. He had been
afflicted with neuritis during the past
two years, but had been able to be
out of doors for larger portion OF
the time. A week ago he suffered
a slight shock from which he rallied
to be similarly afflicted Thursday.
Friday there was another attack
from which he did not regain con-
sciousness.
Mr.. Robinson was a native OF Ire
land, born in county Meath May g..
1888 During the following year he
came to America with his parents,
Thomas Robinson and Mary Flood.
The voyage in those days was long
one, so long, he frequently remarked
that he learned to walk on the
water
The family settled in SALISBURY
and engaged in the occupation of
farming In 1864 he married Mar
garet Erwin and Immediately thereaf-
ter located on the farm on the Pow
nal road Here he lived until 1907
when he disposed of the property and
purchased the residence on Elm
street whore he passed away.
He was sheriff of Bennington coun-
ty for several terms, was United
States marshal for the district of
Vermont under the first Cleveland ad-
and postmaster under the
second. He had held other positions
Of trust and responsibility and had Of
fciated as auctioneer at hundreds of
sales OF farm and personal property.
A man of sound Judgment, unques-
toned integrity and possessing the
keen sense of humor inherent in the
Irish race he had acquired an ac-
quaintanceship in southern Vermont
by few. His interest in pub
lie matters maintained even after his
health began to fail. When the cor
ner stone of the Henry w. Putnam
Memorial hospital was laid last
August. he acted as honorary marshal
and rode in an automobile instead OF
heading the procession on horseback
as he had done on similar occasions
for 40 years.
Other than the widow the survivors
are an adopted daughter, Mrs. Louis
Haussler of Hoosick Falls, a brother.
George and a sister. Mrs. Martin
Murray, living in SALISBURY. five
grandchildren and number OF
nephews and nieces. adj no
The funeral will be held from st.
Francis de Sales church Tuesday fore
noon at o'clock and the burial will
be in the Park Lawn cemetery in
ground of which he was once the
owner. ft pt fc pI1lf

SPARGO KNOWS VIVANI
TWO Were Delegates to international
Socialist

NJ. Rene Vivani, head of the French
Mission now visiting the national
capital, was for years one of the lead
ers of French socialism. He was an
acquaintance in those days of John
Spargo. now of Old Bennington. As
far back as twenty-one years ago they
were delegates together at an Inter
national Socialist congress in London
England, when NJ. Vivani made an adj
dress of wonderful eloquence.
With another member of the French
delegation, the Marquis de Cham
brun. a descendant of Lafayette. Mr..
Spargo had some pleasant associa-
tions. Two or three years ago he
was seeking for rare engraving and
asked one of his friends in Paris, NJ.
Longuet a noted Socialist lawyer and
member of Parliament, to endeavor to
obtain the engraving for him. After
some months he was gratified to re-
ceive. through, NJ. Longuet, the much
sought picture with the complenpnts
of the Marquis de Chambrun. who is
also a member of Parliament and.
aristocrat though he is, a warm friend
of the Socialist leader.
