DAYLIGHT SAVING REPEAL UP.
Sent to Wilson by Congress with Only
Minor Change.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2-The Sem
ate yesterday decided to have the pro-
posal for repeal of the daylight saving
law again run the gauntlet of President
Wilson's veto. BY a vote Of al to l2 the
Senate passed and sent to the president
the separate House bill repeating the
daylight saving measure.
During brief discussion of the House
bill several senators predicted that the
measure, like the daylight repeal rider
on the agricultural appropriation bill,
would be vetoed by the president. The
separate House bill was passed June ls,
but action in the Senate was suspended
until yesterday and in the interim. the
president vetoed the rider and the House
was unable to enact il over the veto.
The Senate's action now places vir-
tually similar repeal legislation again
before the president. The only differ
ence in the vetoed rider and the sep
arate bill is that the latter would not
interfere with standard zones of time.
Many Democrats joined with Republi-
cans in favor Of the repeal of the bill

Gov. Clement Denies the Re-
quest Made by Woman
Suffragists
BIG EXPENSE GIVEN
AS CHIEF CAUSE
Reason Assigned Is
That Constitutional Revi-
sion Is in Progress

Gov. Percival w, Clement has author
lied the statement that he will not call
special session of the legislature for the
purpose of ratifying the amendment to
the federal constitution granting equal
suffrage to women.
The governors reasons are as ows:
|. On account of the expens olved.
2. Because the whole matt : revis-
ing the constitution is no g fore the
commission headed by w. p stickney
of Rutland. 81
Il have had numbe q letters from
prominent Vermont e. a, urging me
TO call special sessi ~ or the purpose
of ratifying this am lent," said Gov.
Clement at his office, and I have also
received number of requests from Yer
mont women and from other citizens of
the state urging me not to call such a
special session, but to let matters take
their usual course. One woman, who op-
posed a special session, expressed herself
very forcibly. She said, Woman suf-
frage is a curse to woman and danger
to the state.
The principal objection to a special
session is the matter of expense The
special session of 1916 cost the state of
Vermont $5,44023; and session called
to pass on a controversial matter would
cost considerably more. The expense of
the special session of 1916 was necessary
and well incurred The expense of
special session at this time is not neces-
sary and, with our public expenses ad-
vancing by leaps and bounds, could not
justify the expense of special session
when every energy of the state govern
ment should be directed toward retrench-
ment.
Il have, therefore, finally and definite
ly decided not to call the legislature to-
gether for this purpose, and should be
glad to have this decision given such
publicity as viii conveniently inform all
concerned"

POLES VICTORIOUS
AGAINST UKRAINIANS
According TO Vienna Report, They Have
Crossed Zbrucz River, Which Would
Be Violation of the Authority
Granted by Peace Conference.

Vienna, Friday, Aug | (By the Asso-
ciated Press) The Poles announce
continuance of their victorious march
against the Ukrainians. They are cross
ing the Zbrucz river at various points
Ut should be noted that the Poles were
given authority by the peace conference
to proceed only to the Zbrucz.)
The Polish army's objective is said to
be Kamenetz, Podolia, which is the cap
ital of General Simon Petlura, the
Ukrainian leader.
The Ukrainians recently resumed dip
lomatic relations with Rumania, having
previously sent missions to Italy, Swift
zerland, Germany and Austria, and are
said to be seeking to establish one in the
United States. It is predicted here that
the Ukrainians are nearing the final
chapter of their struggle for indepen-
dence, but according to the Ukrainian
such view pre-supposes settlement
of the entire Russian question without
their consent. They declare that they,
like the Serbs, will continue TO fight in
definitely.

RATIFICATION FAVORED

Peace Committee of That Body Voted

Paris, Aug 2.-The peace committee

vote of "a to ! yesterday recommended
to the Chamber that the German peace
treaty be ratified, before balloting lis
tened to Georges Leygues, minister of
marine. The minister stated that the
efforts Of the government tended toward
the recovery of the entire tonnage lost
by the French during the war and also
the tonnage which the government had
been unable to construct in the same
period.
Unfortunately, NJ Leygues said, part
of the guarantee disappeared at Scappa
Flow, but the sinking of the German
feet was a violation of the armistice and
thus involved the responsibility of Ger
many, which might be called upon to
answer with what ships remained or by
the delivery of naval material
After recalling the magnificent role
played by the French navy during the
war, and especially in the Mediterranean,
the minister said France could not rival
England or the United States, but must

OVERTUlRES FOR PEACE
ADDRESSED TO ALLIES
BY THE HUNGARLANS
SUSPICION AROUSED
OYER GERMAN RESERVES
Home Guards" Are Being Transferred to
Civil Authorities and Are Being
Called "Local Police Reserves"
American Army Bulletin
Casts Doubt ON
Plan.

Coblenz, Wednesday, July 80, by Colri-
er to Paris by the Associated Press).--
The plan of Gustav Noske, the German
secretary for military affairs, to retain
the home guards throughout Germany by
transferring them to the civil authori-
ties and calling the guards local po-
lice reserves" is going iLto effect, accord
ing to information reaching the Ameri-
can area of occupation.
In connection with this procedure the
German newspapers are carrying adver-
tisements which say that recruits for
the home guards no longer are required
to take an oath to defend the country
against invasion. In American circles it
is said that the abolition of this pledge
obviously is result of Noske's new
plan, for if some of the guards were
bound by such an oath they would clear
ly be prohibited under the terms of ar
ticle III of the peace treaty. The effort
now is to have these organizations as
best he can, and for this reason the
pledge had to be discarded. An American
army bulletin comment on the change
of the guard to police reserves, says:
This is the first confession that such
pledge had been taken by the home
guards. 1t confirms suspicion that the
home guards were intended to be great
reserve army and justifes further sus-
picion of the home guards under their
new guise of civil police reserves"
Article III of the peace treaty signed
by Germany, says:
Educational establishments, universi-
ties, shooting or touring clubs and gen
orally speaking, associations of every
description, whatever be the age of their
members, must not occupy themselves
with any military matters.
In particular they will be forbidden
to instruct or exercise their members or
to allow them to be instructed or exer-
cised, in the profession or use of arms.
'Thsse societies, associations, educa.
tional establishments and universities
must have no connection with the minis
tries of war or any other military au-
thority"

government of Hungary which has been
set up in succession to the Bella Kun re-
gime,
Bella Kun, who resigned his virtual die
tatorship, has been furnished safe con-
duct by the allies and is expected to seek
refuge here, as it is felt that his life
would be endangered if he remained in
Budapest.
The peace overtures were made by
Jacob Weltner, president OF the soldiers
and workers soviet of Hungary. Arriv-
ing in Vienna from Budapest, Herr Welt
ner asked Colonel Cunningham, the lead
ing representative of the allies at Wen
ma, and the other allied officials here, to
recognize the new government and treat
for peace.
The new Hungarian cabinet is presided
over by Jules Peidll, who was formerly
minister of the peoples welfare in the
Count Karolyi cabinet. The cabinet con-
tains professionally many members Of
former Bella Kun ministry.

OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN DEAD.
Well-Known Theatre Man and Producer
of Grand Opera.

New York, Aug. Oscar Hammer
stein, theatre builder and producer of
grand opera, died in hospital here
last night of complication of dis
eases, after an illness of several days.
Oscar Hammerstein's chief claim to
fame as an impressario and theatrical
manager, it has been said, will rest in
the fact that he set new records for
presenting grand operas of composers
never before heard in America and that
he introduced to the western musical
world singers who afterwards won great
names for themselves.
Mr.. Hammerstein was born in Berlin,
Germany, in lS47, and came to the Unit
ed States in 1868, as he later wrote, ''to
be free" His father, an austere man,
Oscar said, tyrannized his family and the
boy ran away from home.

Have Been Issued by Governor Clement
to State Road Workers.

Governor P. w. Clement has issued II
parole psrdons to persons from the house
of correction, who are being employed
on the federal aid project in Sherburne.
Governor Clement issued similar pardons
to the men who were used last year on
the construction of roads and which
worked out very we'll so that the plan is
being used again this season.
In addition to the employment of these
men the secretary of state has issued
two chauffeur licenses to men in order
to operate the motor trucks which it is
expected will be used in construction of
the roads. 1t is expected that as the
gangs increase more parole pardons viii
be issued by Governor Clement.
OF course, these terminate with the
completion of the iob. One guard is en-
ployed and he will be foreman on the
Job under Charles Munson, who has
