GERMANS
MAY REVOLT
Peace Only Way to Prevent
It, Warns Hoch, a
Socialist
EXPLAINS WHY
BERLIN REFUSES
Must Get Something Out of
War, Said Bethmann-
Hollweg

Amsterdam, Oct. 20--After the Social
list conference at Wurzburg had adopted
the resolution rejecting motion to bind
the party to vote against war credits
in the Reichstag, Herr Hoch, member of
the Reichstag, declared on behalf of the
Independent Socialists that they Were
in favor of the country's defense and
would only refuse to vote for credits
as long as the imperial government failed
to promise the adoption of the peace de-
mands of the Socialist Democrats and
to make changes in the constitution. Herr
Hoch added that the patience and the
strength of the people in all countries
were coming to an end, and that the gov
eminent ought to understand that I'M
less peace came within a few weeks rev.
olutionary commissions would arise from
the masses.
The key of the policy of the German
government in refusing to make any def
statements of peace terms is furnished
by Herr Hoch. German newspapers re-
port that the deputy told Thursday how
Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg before his
retirement as imperial chancellor de-
clared to the SocialistN members VI the
Reichstag that as chancellor he could not
commit himself, but must pull out in the
peace negotiations whatever could be OBJ
tanned for Germany. Herr Hoch cited
this is proof of the ambiguous game
the government is playing with its vari-
Gus indefinite peace declarations.
The Lokal Anzeiger of'Berlin asserts
that last week Deputies Gustave Stress
NJ
Centrist; Friedrich Won Payer, Progress
sive and Friedrich Ebert, Socialist, were
charged by their respective parties to
acquaint Chancellor Michaelis with their |
lack of confidence. Stressmann, Trim |
born and Ebert were unable to do this |
because the chancellor had already de-
parted for Courland but Won Payer ex
ecuted the commission before the chan
,ellor left. 1t was probably due to his
visit to the chancellor that the report
became current that Won Payer might
become vice chancellor
The Prussian Herrenhaus House of
Iords) opened Thursday with a speech
~ the president Of the chamber, Count
Fon Arnim- Boitzenburg, who referred to
President Wilson's reply to the peace
proposal of Pope Benedict as an at
empt to SOW discord between the Ger
nan emperor and his people, because,
e said, otherwise the entente would be
Unable ito fell the German oak" The /,
resident of the chamber added that the !
ierman people never would allow Bis ,
larcks gigantic work to be undone, and
hat it was again the enemy who had re- !
used peace except at the cost of Ger i,
lany's existence.

State of Vermont
Horace f. Graham, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION

Pursuant to the proclamation of the
president, and that Vermont may con.
tinue to do her full duty for the national
government, /, Horace F. Graham, gov.
ernor, designate Wednesday, Oct. "a, 1917,
Liberty Day.
Each of us has a part to do in bring.
ing this war TO an early and successful
end The time is here when he who has
a son must give him for his country,
when he who has money must at least
loan it to his country, and give both
freely if required. The successful termi-
nation of this great struggle can only be
brought about by self.denial Let all
men and women deny themselves that
they may contribute according to their
means.
Let the proclamation of the president
be read in all places of religious worship
throughout our state on Sunday Oct. 2l.
Let the teacher read and explain to
the pupil the purposes for which this
war is being waged and the reasons why
we are again called upon, not to give,
simply to loan.
Let all places of business be closed.
Let all labor be suspended wherever pos
sible. that the people may assemble on
the afternoon of Liberty day and again
pledge their fealty TO freedom and unity.
| appeal to the people of our state to
once more show their patriotism by ex-
,eeding that which has been apportioned
TO Vermont.

MAIL HOLDING
CAUSES WORRY
Neutral Legations Ask America to Be
Conciliator in the Dispute Between
Great Britain and Sweden.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 20-Neutral
diplomats here, including some of the
South Americans, are much concerned
over the detention of Swedish mail at the
British embassy. They are bringing
pressure to bear upon the American gov
eminent to act as conciliator, because
they fear the incident may lead to fur
ther hampering of neutrals.
European neutrals with shipping in
American ports profess to be fearful that
while it is held legal to seize such ships
and pay for them, the neutrals are OPP
posed to parting with their bottoms.
The United States is doing what it
can quietly to clear up the mail situation
and has asked England through Ambas-
sador Page to release the pouches
In view of the possibility that neutral
shipping will be commandeered, the neu-
trails are now trying to make arrange
ments whereby the vessels can be used
by the United States without actual seiz-
ure. For instance the Dutch ships could
be used in coastwise trade or to carry
Australian wheat to the Pacific coast,
while others could be used for shipping
wheat to Belgian relief stations.
But Holland in return wants a por-
ton of the Dutch fleet to carry cargoes
to the Netherlands The United States
government has not yet answered that
proposition.
Dutch and other neutral ships con
tinue to arrive constantly. This indi-
Gates that they cannot operate without
American and English bunker coal, or,
as some believe, that the neutrals really
want America to seize the vessels.
German threats and promises are
thickly interviewer through the whole |
problem. The neutrals must protest |
formally lest they suffer at the kaiser's
bands for acquiescing in the demands of
the allies.

uncertain value on nice hair as a
beauty asset. Unkempt, uncared for
hair not only cannot be attractive
but is actually disgrace.
But why have ill-kept, untidy hair?
By devoting a few moments regular
ly to brushing and intelligent appli-
cation of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE,
the hair may be made TO yield won
derful returns in increased personal
charm.
Dandruff is the direct cause of
more hair trouble than anything else.
The hair becomes thin, harsh, IN

looks dead and lifeless; there is no
luster. The scalp itches.
HERPICIDE will remove the dam
druff which is causing all the trouble,
clean the scalp, give the hair life,
snap and luxuriance. The hair stops
coming out, the itching ceases al
most at once and withal there is a
most gratifying sense of cleanliness.

EXTRACT FROM SPEECH
 BY SECRETARY M'AD00

To the Officers and Enlisted Men tand Women of the Army and
 Navy of the United States al.d
 Their Relatives:
 The Secretary of the Treasury, through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, has been charged with the administration of the War Insurance Law enacted by the Congress as measure of justice to the men and women who have been called to give their lives, if need be. in the ser vice of their country.
 l wish to acquaint you with the benefits and privileges which your Government has placed at your disposal. It is essential that you and your families at home should know of your and their rights unde- this law in or der that full advantage may be taken of them.
 To care for the wife and chil- dren of the enlisted men during his service, .the War Insurance Law compels him to contribute up to one-half of his pay for their support. The Government. on application, will generously add to this an allowance of from S5 to $50 n month, according to the size of the family. More over, if the enlisted man will make some further provision himself for a dependent parent, brother, sister, or grandchild, they may be included in the Gov ernment allowance.
 If, as result of injuries in cured or disease contracted ir the line of duty. an offi:er or en 1 listed man or an Army or Navy nurse should be disa oled, provi' sion is made for compensation of from S3O 0 S10u month tc him, and. should he die. compeu' sation of from $20 to $75 mon'n will be paid to his wife. his child. or his widowed mother.

 We expect to begin making surgical dressings shortly and will have a special room for that work.
 It has been observed that there are not as many workers on Fridays az other days, and a full attendance is desired as there is much finishing work to be done then.
 Make your plans to come often. Get the habit of sewing shirts for soldiers. Congenial company in cheerful, comfortable room.
 We repeat the invitation to ladies living near town to come in and get acquainted and also to join in the work.

VACCINATION LAW
 UPHELD BY COURT
Judge C. w. Smith of Fl Dorado Refuses to Enjoin
 Health Officer.

Dr.. C. ". Garrison, state health"~officer, was advised by telegram last night thal Circuit Judge c. w. Smith at El Dorado refused!to grant an injunction U restrain the county health officer andsteachers of a district in the western part of the county from vaccinating the school children of that district. The chancellor said that the legislature knew what,it was doing when it gave the State Health Department authority to enforce the law re- quIring vaccination and that the law should stand.
 The case in question was that of c. F. Vinson and others against Dr. H. H Smith, county health officer. and Miss Mary McGraw. a school teacher. At torneys for the defense urged that there was no smallpox in the district or in the county and that the law requiring vaccina- tion was a great inconvenience to the school child en.
 Vaccination is matter of extreme importance at this time, on account of war conditions, Dr. Garrison said. II have been advised by Surgeon General Cor gas and Surgeon General Blue that there should be no deviation from the law. /"

 This is the greatest measure of protection ever offered to its fighting forces by any nation in the history of the world. It is not charity; it is simply justice to the enlisted men and women and to their loved ones at home, and each and every one of them should promptly take the bene. fits of this great law.
