tiOnal Movement

Death to radicalism, Bolshevism,
the l. w. W., and all anti-American

this new organization without dues,
A few minutes later, again on motion
of Mr.. Jackson, it was voted that
Vermont recommend to the national
committee in charge of this move
ment for Amcricanism that members
of the American Legion be admitted
without dues to membership in this
new organization throughout every
state in the union. The passage Of
both these motions was unanimous.
John NJ. Thomas, president at Mid
dlcbury College, presided at the
meeting and when the time came to
effect organization of the new move
mcnt, the name of Dir. Thomas was
presented and he was elected unani-
mously as chairman of the state or
gaAizatiop. Other officers elected
were: Vice chairman, Fred A. How
land of Montpelier; secretary, James
p. Taylor of Burlington; treasurer,
E. S Kinsley Of Rutland.
Nearly so of the leading men in
the state attended the gathering and

organization $4,000 and it was all
pledged at the meeting.

BIC EATERS GET
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder irritation or
 Backache.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou- ble,' because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elim- inative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and Q general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, ounces of lad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fla nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer Is a source of irritation, thus ending , bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- iure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having good kid ney flushing any tirne-Adv.

WANT AMERICA AS MANDATORY
 OVER ARMENIA

Constantinop1e, Sunday, Oct. 12. (By A. P)-The majority of the members of the Harbord Mission, which has been Investigating condi- tons in Armenia and Trans -Caucasia, have indicated to the Associated Press Correspondent their opinion that 1t would be inadvisable for the United States to accept a mandate for either Armenia or Turkey. Their views is that if the Unitel States does accept a mandate it should do so only after the interested European powers have fully agreed to the purpose "hands off, policy. Major General James G. Harbord, the head of the mission, would express no opinion on the sub ject.
 The civilian members of the mis- sion are the ones who take a differ ent view, at least so far as Armenia is concerned. Their feeling was in dicated that America should accept the mandate for Armenia as a duty toward Europe and toward helpless peoples.

NEW RANK FOR OUR MINISTER
 ID GERMANY
Embassies to Turkey, Aus tria and Hungary to
 Be Reduced

- Washington, Oct. 23.-"Charge of embassy will be the rank of the first American diplomatic representative to Germany after the ratification of the peace treaty, for not until suf- fcient time has elapsed to test the workings of the treaty and the spirit in which the present government of Germany undertakes to carry out it's provisions will the representative give place to a fully accredited ambassa- dor. This plan, it was learned today, also will be followed by the entente governments.
 There is no disposition, it was learned to reduce the rank of the American diplomatic representation in Germany, which still remains one of the great nations of the world. But it is understood to be planned to make such a change in the case of Austria and Hungary.
 Separated as the two states are into two separate nations greatly re- duced in size and importance, these countries will be regarded as proper ly entitled to missions only, and a minister pIentpotentiary will be pro- vided for each.
 The Turkish embassy also is due for reduction in rank. it was learned. Considering the small size of the country which will remain under Turkish control, the remnant may have to be content to share an American minister with Bulgaria and any lesser state that may remain in the Balkans. Because 1t is yet un- certain how far the peace conference or the entente powers which were at war with Turkey will go towards the total elimination of the Turk as a governmental entity, Is yet unset tied, how America shall be diplomati- cally represented there.
