in which the United States, the presi-
dent has publicly declared, shall want
nothing for itself and shall seek only
to preserve the rights of civilization
and humanity
In such situation the United States
might even become an actual partici-
pant in the hostilities on the European
cantinent without becoming politi-
cal ally of any of the entente powers,
simply casting its weight of men,
money and moral influence into the
battle against common enemy.
Ports of the United States will be
opened to warships of the entente
navies, credits from the vast stocks
of gold, food, munitions and other ma
terials might be extended to all the
entente powers. The American navy
probably would cooperate with the
British and French navies in clearing
submarines from the seas.
In laying the whole situation before
congress the president is expected to
detail fully the warlike acts of Ger
many against the United States and to
pay particular attention to the future
of the American government as the
great conflict draws to q close.
1t is not improbable that he will ask
congress to declare a state of war ex-
listing, although there is some indi-
cation that he may only outline the
situation fully and leave to congress
the action which is accepted as una
voidable. So much can develop, how
ever, before congress assemblies, that
the president is keeping his plans in
a tentative form. Germany, by her
acts in the interim, may throw all the
plans awry and accept the onus of
having forced the war.
Activities Center in Navy
Meanwhile every preparation for
putting the nations defense in condi-
ton to meet a state of war are going
forward. The principal activities cen
ter in the navy, where far reaching
preparations are being carried on to
deal with the submarine menace
whether it is to be met in the war
zone about the British coast or at the
gates of American cities.
The army's plans are in less def
mite state because of the uncertainty
as to what part it will be called upon
to play. General staff plans to fit sew
eral contingencies have been worked
out, however and every step that can
be taken in the present situation has
been taken.
The possibility of Germany extend
ing submarine operations to the At
lantic seaboard has not been under
estimated, but it is recognized that
when she extends her warfare from
the comparatively limited barred zone
to the three thousand miles of board
Atlantic she so effectively weakens
her starvation blockade Of England
that the announced object of the cam
paign of ruthlessness will of necessity
be abandoned At the same time the
submarine menace to shipping will
comparatively decrease.

FINANCE BOARD IN
\. ROLE OF ADJUSTER
Makes Transfers So That Depart
ments Will Have Money

At the meeting of the board of fin
ance and taxation last evening for
the purpose of transferring funds
from one department to another
where needed the question OF the
school department, deficiency was
given careful consideration. City
Treasurer F. S. Chamberlain ex-
planned that on its regular appropria-
ton the school board is short about
$500 and about $22,5OO as a result
of the repairs made at the Prevoca-
tional Grammar school. At present
the school building fund contains
about $4,000 and when the legisla
ture, by charter revision, grants the
right to make the transfer this
amount will be available for USE 1t
will then take a transfer of $4,000 to
make good the deficiency. OF this
$4,000 is to be taken from the emer-
gency fund and $500 from the
charity department..
Several Transfers Made.
The report of the board of public
works showed that in the permanent
paving fund there is $4,355; in the
state highway fund, s3,717; and in
the street lighting fund $7,1OO. The
street department needed $4,000 and
the board voted to transfer $4,000
from the permanent paving fund.
and $1,000 from the street lighting
fund, thus making up the necessary
amount.
In the sewer maintenance fund
shere is a shortage of $500 and to
cover this 500 will be transferred
from the balance of 1911 in park
funds and 500 from the street light
ing fund. "
Another shortage was reported
from the board of health where
$1,000 is needed. There is s2,15O in
the incidental fund and it was voted
to transfer $1,000 from this amount.
1T was also voted to transfer $3.50
from the salary fund to the soldiers
planned that due to a clerical error
this amount was paid to Mrs. II. A.
Hargreaves while her husband was
doing duty on the border last sum
mer and should have been paid from
the salary account.
Superintendent Ralph G.. Vain
wright of the parks said he thought
the Stanley Park dam would stand
the city in at about $1,000 This
amount will be transferred from the
charity department funds.
Reporting on the financial status
Mr.. Chamberlain said that on No
vember 10 he paid to the office of the
state treasury $4,000 in taxes and
there is yet $2,350 due. The board
voted to have this tax bill paid at
once.

AN A ED WOMAN

Tells How V1no1 Made Her Strong.
In her eighty-second year Mrs. John
Wickersham, of Russellville, Pa, says:
II was in rundown, feeble condition
and had lost flesh. A neighbor asked
me to try Vinol and after taking two
bottles my strength returned; I am
gaining in flesh. it has built up my
health and I am feeling fine for a
woman Of my age, so I get around and
do my housework.'
The reason Vinol was so successful
in Mrs. Understands case was be-
cause it contains beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pepto-
mates and glycerophosphates, the very
elements needed to build up a weak
ened. rundown system and create
strength.
