How Do Man Break DOWN.

Of your breaking down-although there
will be times when you will try to

one Of the illusions Of medIocrity. II
is the excuse which every lazy man
presents to himself. II is moral astig.

do not break down from overwork 10
much as is commonly supposed. As
they go upward In the scale of In
creased activity. increased RESPONSE
bllitry only acts upon them as a nat
ural stimuant and carries them along.

Bohemia's SufferInus.

Bohemia went through some OF the
most barbarous of the German re-
llgious wars in the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries. Between 1917 and
1887 the Bohemian population was re-
duced from 100000 to 10000 by the
ravages Of execution and exile, says
Richard Wilmer Rowan in Worlds
Work. The Czech language was ban
ished from the Bohemian school room
In favor Of the German by the other
wise liberal Maria Theresa Just two
years before our American declaration
Of independence. Czech riotIng signal
ICED the upheavals In 1913 that drove
Metternich and his fellow reactionaries
to a timely seclusion. Yet the Aus
glelch or Hungarian compro-
mise Of 1867 found Bohemia still re
fused the national recognition It de-
manded.

The Thirteenth Juror.

What is the influence of the thlr-
teenth Juror upon the other twelve
jurors2 asks Willis Barnes In Case and
Comment Here are twelve men Sc
lected from the ordinary walks of life,
commercial or ndustrial-rarely from
professional life. The only impressive
faculty they are supposed to have is a
sane mind capable Of a common-sense
conclusion upon facts submitted. and
that each mans mind Will be brought to
unanimous conclusion, but In the eff
fort to accomplish this the thirteenth
Juror takes part; he is looked upon
as one learned in the law and neces-
sarily learned In the sklllful analysis Of
evidence; the jury listens to this an
nlysis and the color put upon 1t by one
who knows what he is talking about,
and when the twelve Jurors retire to
the consultation room they carry with
them a mental influence so impressive
that 1t cannot be easily dismissed; It
enters into and necessarily becomes. a
part Of the evidence they are called
upon to consider.

SEC. DANIELS APPRECIATES
New England Peoples Interest in the
United States Navy.

Boston, Oct. 30.-Secretary Daniels in
an address at Democratic political
meeting here to-day expressed his per-
sonal appreciation of the deep interest
and the great help given by the people
of New England in every effort of the
navy to measure up to the needs of the
country in the war and said he hoped
soon to visit some of the naval stations
from Maine to Rhode Island.
Mr. Daniels said that since the war be-
gan il had not been necessary to change
the organization in any single depart
ment of the navy, ashore or ahoat, and
he attributed this to the fact that lin
time of peace the navy department was
placed on so efficient footing and had
secured such perfect team work that en-
largement was along lines that had been
wrought out, planned and adopted" be-
fore the war.
The naval secretary reviewed briefly
what the navy has done in New England,
saving that since the war the department
has let contracts in Massachusetts ag-
gregating S230, 100000, while the force at
the Boston navy yard has increased from
1892 men in 1912 TO 9,374 at present,
"These figures the secretary declared,
speak eloquently of the close and inti-
mate touch of the navy department and
the people of Massachusetts"

FEARFUL OF LOSING BUSINESS.
New York City Authorities Seek More
Docking Facilities.

New York, Oct. 30.--The city author.
titles to-day announced steps would be
taken TO avert the loss to this port Of
the business Of twenty five steamship
companies, whose vessels, eoastwise and
trans Atlantic, dock here. Murray Hui
bert, dock commissioner, confronted by
intimation from these companies that
they would seek accommodations at
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore. Nor
folk and other Atlantic ports unless in
creased docking facilities could be as
sured at New York, announced that the
situation would be considered at CON
ference on Friday with the federal re-
gional harbor officials.
The steamship companies said their
business had been curtailed because of
the governments action in taking over
so many of the docks for war purposes.
Mr.. Hubert said to-day he was en-
couraged by the letter he received from
Secretary Of Commerce Redfeld, favor
ing transfer Of the termini Of the
Long Island Sound steamships plying be-
tween New England ports and New York
from the North river to the East river
The commissioner said this would be
one OF the changes to be discussed Fri
day with view of turning the deep wa
ter facilities in the North river over to
the steamship companies which have
threatened to move to other ports.

BROKE FooD REGULATIONS.
Merchants in Randolph and Mortified
Pay Penalties to Red Cross.

Two penalties have been imposed by
the food administration, in which $25
has been contributed in each instance to
the Red Cross. The manager of the A. &
P. store in Randolph was one of those
who contributed for not following the
regulations as to the handling of sugar,
while the other contribution was from
the management Of the Moriarty store
in Mortified for failure to follow the
regulations relative to the handling of
wheat products. An investigation is be-
ing conducted relative to complaint
against J. P. Ladd of Walden, who is
charged with misuse of 300 pounds of
sugar that came to him as merchant.
The food department is investigating
the complaint relative to three carloads
of potatoes shipped into Burlington from
Maine. The purchaser claims they are
not grade one potatoes, while the shipper
claims they are. A representative of the
department Of agriculture has been called
and he substantiates the decision of the
food department Several merchants in
Burlington have been called and they,
claim they would not pay the grade one
price for them. II is expected that

BRUTAL TREATMENT
OF PRISONERS CHARGED
British Home Secretary Says That Brit
ish Prisoners Have Been Beaten, Tor
tured and Forced to Work When III.

London, Oct, so British Wireless sery-
icel Germany has fagrantly broken the
rules of international law in her treat
ment of British prisoners of war, de.
clared Sir George Cave, the British home
secretary, in discussing the question Of
prisoners of war in the House of Com
mons yesterday. Some of the German
internment camps, he said, were reason
ably well organized but there were other
camps where conditions were almost un.
speakable and where inhumane treat.
ment almost past belief went on.
Working parties of British prisoners
were beaten, tortured and made to work
when they we're ill. Everything was
done to break their spirit, but, Sir George
added, the enemy had failed in most
cases. Sir George believed that if any
armistice with either Germany or Aus.
tria Hungary was reached the govern.
ment would take steps to see that one of
the primary conditions would be that all
prisoners of war in enemy countries
should be Immediately and uncondition-
ally released

AUSTRIA SENT NOTES
TO THE ALLIES TOO
Telling of the Appeal Which Had Been
Submitted to Pres. Wilson-This Is
Taken to Mean That Emperor
Charles Situation Is
Very Acute.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 30.-President
Wilson was not expected to make known
his decision as to Austria's renewed plea
for an armistice until the official text
of note from Count Andrassy, the new
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister to
Secretary Lansing, asking the secretary
to intervene with the president, was re-
ceived The unofficial text of the An
drassy communication as transmitted
from Vienna via Basel, by the Associated
Press, was received early to-day and
was read by officials with undisguised in
terest,
No less interesting was the report
from Vienna, also received to-day, that
the Austro Hungarian government had
transmitted to London, Paris, Rome and
Toxic copies of its latest note to Presi-
dent Wilson, begging the approval and
support of the allied governments for
its new plea for ~an armistice on all
fronts and peace negotiations.
These moves by the Austro- Hungarian
government and its new foreign minis
ter were wholly unexpected and were
viewed in some quarters as emphasizing
the seriousness of the situation confront.
ing Emperor Charles at home. Unques-
tionably this rather unusual diplomatic
procedure was expected to cause ex-
changes between Washington and the
entente chancellories before final de-
cision is made by the president.
In the light of these moves and the
Austrian note to the president, diplo.
matte observers found it difficult to un,
derstand the purpose Of the semi official
note, as reported in cable dispatches last
night from Vienna, asserting that the
note to the president does not necessari-
ly signify that Austria seeks a separate
peace. There were some who regarded
this as designed for the consumption of
the conservative element at home and
for the German people.
The final outcome of all peace discus
sions will hinge on the announcements
of the supreme war council at Versailles,
which reports from London say already
has agreed upon the terms Of an armi-
stiee and presented them to the military
advisers. Such speedy action by the
council was accepted generally as indi-
eating the unanimity of the views of the
allied and Amsrisan governments,

AIRPLANES DOWNED
BY AMERICANS
And Only Five of the Latters' Machines

Also Mentioned.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 30.--Heavy ar
tillery and machine gun fire north Of
Verdun and the. bringing down of Il
enemy airships with failure of five Amer
lean machines to return, as told in Asso
cisted Press dispatches last night, were
reported by General Pershing in a com
munique of yesterday, received to-day by
the war department.
The dispatch says;
Artillery and machine gun fire con.
tinued heavy during the. night on the
front of the first army north of Veydun
reaching particular intensity in the re-
gion of the Bois Belleu and the Boit
d'0rmont.
From the remainder of the front there
is nothing of Importance to report.
"On the Verdun front there has beer
heavy artillery and machine gun fire to,
day west of the Meuse, especially in the
region north of st. Juvin.
with more favorable weather condi
tions there has been increased aerial ac
tivity in front Of the first army through
out the day. Our pursuit squadrons en-
gagged the enemy in numerous combats
in the course of which IS enemy air,

chimes did not return. Our ayiators also

day.
North of Guise they have taken the
Beaufort farm, north of the 0ise. Along
the Peron river, south of Guise, the
French have progressed east of Monceau-
le-Neuf and captured prisoners.
The official statement reads;
North of Guise we have advanced on
the north bank of the 0ise and captured
the Beaufort farm, west of Lesquieles-
St. Germain. On the right Of the Peron
we have made new advance east OF
Monceau le-Neuf, taking prisoners.

Reports from the Piave front seem to
indicate that, after the first rush of the
allies, the Austrian resistance weakened
greatly and there are indications that
along the center of the line the enemy's
defense has been crushed. The sweep of
the allies eastward appears to have
gained momentum during the past day
and it seems probable that the next few
days may see the whole Austrian army
fronting the Piave in retreat toward the
Tagliamento.
Not only are the Austrian lines yield
ing on the Piave front, but farther west
the allies are reported to be advancing.
The capture of Conegliano, the key of
the Austrian position, is considered fa-
tai bloV to the enemy's plans to hold
north of the line where the allied wedge
has been driven deep into the Austrian
lines
Bitter fighting has been going on in the
Meuse sector during the past day or two.
East of the Meuse the American forces
have moved ahead once more and have
wrested important positions from the
Germans. West of the Meuse the Ger
mans have been heavily bombarding the
American lines and back areas with gas
and high explosive shells American
long-range artillery has been pounding
the German supply lines at Contains.
West of Argonne forest the French
have begun an attack which seems to
promise the turning of the Aisne line,
which is the main obstacle to the French
advance Immediately west of the Ar
gonne in the region of Vouziers. The
new attack was over the front from st,
Quentin-L Le-P Petit to Herpy, north Of the
Aisne and progress made in the first few
hours indicated that important results
are within reach.
On the Oise-Serre front, the French
slowly are Tightening their hold on the
lines about Guise, while south of that
town they are moving ahead in spite of
desperate resistance on the part of the
enemy.
In the neighborhood of Valenciennes
the British apparently are checked, for
the moment at least, no significant prog
ress having been made there during the
past day or two. North of Valenciennes,
the French, British and Belgians have
improved their lines, but do not appear
to have succeeded in breaking through
the German defensive lines defending
Ghent.
The Versailles conference has, tbs re-
ported, agreed on the terms for an armi-
stice and also on the final peace demands.
Ii is said that they win be submitted
simultaneously to the German govern
ment London renorta that the allied ma
tions will demand the surrender of the
