ARGENTINE

House Votes BY Decisive Ma

Sentiment of Country.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 15.-The house
of representatives has voted in sup
port of the senate decision calling for
a diplomatic break with Germany.
The president of the republic,
Senior Irroyegen, in whose hands now
rests the final decision, is faced by a
nation calling for vengeance upon
Germany; clamoring not only for a
break, but for immediate war. The
man in the presidential chair, con
stitutionally paciilst, is still holding
to his announced theory that war
should be avoided
A small group of people support
him. In some quarters where recent
American history has been closely
followed, they are referred to as the
Wilful." Their influence is slight

Nowhere is the slightest doubt en-
tertained that the public demand will

mediately upon break, tremendous
supplies will be released at once for

OPERATORS TO REFUSE

tant and That It Would Add Too
Much to Cost Of Coal.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Immediate
wage increases Qf from 20 to 20 per
cent will be demanded by the ooun-
try's coal minerB it was announced
here tonight aftef preliminary meet
ing Of operators and miners represen
tatives of the central competitive field
in Washington to discuss a general
wage readjustment.
The demands were formulated by
the miners representatives tonight
and viii be presented at joint meet
ing tomorrow There is every indi-
cation that the mine owners will re-
fuse fatty to meet them, first, on the
grounds that they are too high and
second, that the recent fixing of coal
prices by President Wilson will not
permit of any increase.
The increases asked while stipulat
ed for the central field comprising
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western
Pennsylvania will serve as basis for
the entire country and If they were
granted would have to be met by 9th
er districts. The demands are as
follows:
Increase of Is cents a ton on pick
and machine mined coal at all basing
points in the United States
The percentage OF increase granted
on machine and pick coal to be ap
piled TO all differentials existing be
tween thin and thick vein mines.
Advances of $1.90 a day for all mer
employed Ia and around mines, and
Twenty per cent raises on all dead
work and yarding
Today's joint conference was open
d>with a speech by DR.. II. a. Gar
field, the fuel administrator, who
urged both sides to let no difference:
stand in the way of capacity produc
ton OF coal.
Under no circumstances said DR.
Garfield, must we allow production
to stop We must put aside for the
time being all questions that nigh
separate men under normal condi
tions and work in the closest har
mony There must be no suspension

ssiNlse FOR clscoEs
Fishsto Be Taken from St. Catherine
and Lake Bomoseen

Rutland sept ssyT Rutland county
sportsmeh Mlll be interested in the
recent decision OF State Fish and
Game Commissioners Linus Leavens to
permit seining of whitefsh or ciscoes
during the latter part of the year,
special licenses to be issued for Lake
Bomoseen and Lake st. Catherine as
were issued in 1916. County Fish and
Game Warden f. w. Hayward said
yesterday that the blanks for the
SPECIAL permits to net the fish have
been drafted and the fishermen who
go in for this kind of sport can be
getting their nets ready The season
will open November 20 and close
January l. 1918.
The netting of whitefish, which was
allowed last year for the first time
in 20 years, became very popular
among a number of Rutland fishermen
and several cottages will be opened
up this year for a part OF the season.
Last year strings of between 25 and
so pounds were brought in from the
lake,
The authorities this year will allow
the sale of the fish, provided the price
asked is anywhere within reason, but
the fish and game officers will not al
low the sale of the fish at an exhor-
bitant price.
At Lake st. Catherine Deputy War
den Guy Woods will have charge Of
the fishing and he will also act as the
inspector of nets when they are drawn
in the morning. At Lake Bomoseen
no warden has been selected but it
will probably be w. d. Bull of Castle
ton who has applied for the position.
The license provides that the nets
and the catch shall be displayed to the
warden each time they are drawn.
All fish other than whitefish must be
returned to the waters.
The local authorities are planning
this year to have the special licenses
pay for the expenses of the warden
and the use of his cottage during the
40 days of the season. A cottage will
probably be engaged and those wish
ling to spend the night will be
charged a small lodging fee, this to
be turned in to pay the expenses of
the s4bcial officer.

President Wilson's own party leaders,
especially in the committee on mill

proposed legislation for raising war
armies by conscription, Kahn with
seven associates on the committee
went to the floor Of the house with
the minority report and in historic
day and night battle, lasting whole

He Wins Who Works.

And still people talk about born sing
ers, artists. inventors and mechanics
The Theory is Illogical, and the truth
Of II has never been demonstrated. 1t
is true that there are few indiyid-
unls who are born into the world with
an unusual amount of latent ability,
and people call them talented. The
difference between the words talent
and latent is merely a variation In the
location of the letters. The meaning
Of the two words is almost Identical.
The possession Of talent means the
possession of some latent quality which
requires development for perfect ex-
preston. \ freak Is not genius be-
cause. although usually lacking in the
consciousness Of power, he feels no
need for growth, and even the power
that he possesses gradually diminishes
instead OF expanding. The man who
works for years aud finally reaches the
goal of his dreams always smiles when
he hears some one speak of a born
genius.-Los Angeles Times.

Mental Preparedness.


Children trained from the very
start to self-expression enter school
with invaluable mental preparedness
for the work to be done there. They
have a poise that keeps them from
being diffident in class. They are not
afraid to ask questions" declares q
prominent educator. They know how
to tell what Is In their mind. In asso-
ciating with other children they get
more Joy from 1t because they know
how to make themselves understood.
Older people find them more charm
ing and interesting.
Effective training toward seif-eI-
preston in the young child means that
characteristic Of life. and there h no
training more effective than telling him
stories and teaching him how to tell
them.
Asking about q child's doinss will
encourage him to tell you about them.
For instance. when your little boy
comes home from a walk get him 70
tell you all that he has seen while
out. When he comes in from play
get him to tell you all about the fun
he has been having.
Always make him feel your vital
interest in his thoughts and actions"
