NERVES THAT TIRE EASILY
Sense Of Smell One That Is Quickly
Fatleued-Heat Nerves Practl-
eally Never at Rest.

The most easily tired nerves In the
body nre the nerves of smell. AS you
pass rose in the garden the guam
tity of perfume that gets lntoiyour
nostrll must be many millions Of BILL
lion of times smaller than the tlnlest
grain Of sand. But rub the strongest
perfume on your upper lip, and in n
few seconds you fail to notice 1t, the
nerve of smell is so quickly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves
which are quite distinct from the
nerves of ordinary sensation, also give
over working very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when you get into
Il very soon ceases to cause any par
ticular feeling OF heat.
Nerves Of hearing and sight can go
through an enormous amount Of work.
For sixteen hours n day they work
hard. and are still willing TO do more.
The nerves Of the heart are the most
untiring OF all. From the first dawn
Of life until the last gasp they work
without stopping for one instant.

MUCH ACTIVITY AROUND
EX-KAISER'S REFUGE
William Hohenzollern Receives Many
Vcitors-Saws Wood In
Morning

Amerongen, June 10. (Associated
Press )-There was further addition
to William Hohenzollerns list of visi-
tors last night when Frederick Won
Berg formerly chief of his Civil Cabi-
net, dined at the Won Bentinck castle.
Today there was seen a continual run
ming of motor cars from and to the
castle.
This morning the former Emperor
was engaged In his usual task OF saw
ing trees, of which he yesterday COM
pleted his five thousandth. This last
tree has been cut into one inch discs,
many of which have been distributed
among Hohenzollerns attendants and
advisers. The tree was six inches in
diameter and each disc was marked
In the former rulers own hand with
his initial and the date.
After the saving was finished, just
before luncheon today, the former EN-
peror, Won Berg, General Won Gontard,

ce, and Colonel Won Esebeck were OBJ
served in animated conversation in
the grounds of the castle but nothing
could be glaned as to the subject OF
conversation.
Outside the grounds Dutch gendarmes
patrolled in stronger force than usual
possible owing to the recent visist OF
parties of American soldiers and sail
ors from Rotterdam, whose arrival
seems to have created some nervous
ness.

BLACK CAT TEAM DlssANDs
There Is Talk of Organizing a Town
Team.

The base ball team representing
the Black Cat athletic association has
disbanded. Unfavorable weather on
several Saturday afternoons this sea-
son, and lack of patronage to the
games, have been some of the con-
tributing causes of the disbanding Of
the team.
There is talk of organizing a town
team, which would be likely to in
clude several of the Black Cat play
ers. and to arrange schedule Of
games for the summer to be played
on the Black Cat field.
There surely ought to be some base
ball in Bennington this season. This
is one Of the cleanest and healthiest
of athletic sports. and no better kind
of attraction can be found for those
who are looking for amusement on
their Saturday half holidays.
May the necessary funds be raised
to insure some good games. Lack of
patronage to the games has been due,
perhaps more than was realized, to
lack of seats for the spectators. 1t
is hard for one to stand throughout a
game, and it is almost equally hard
to sit on the ground with air TO lean
against and with no place for ones
feet to hang Off 1t is not necessary
to have roof or an awning over the
stand. The spectators will endure
the sun if their bodies are in fairly
comfortable positions. Bleachers
that win seat five hundred people
will more than pay for their cost in
one season.
What's the matter with trying a
strictly local baseball league this
summer? This has been successfully
accomplished in other large towns,
and il might be done here. II four
teams Of about equal strength were
striving for the championship, there
would be interesting baseball, even
though not so fast as the professional
brand. BY playing once week,
these games need not conflict with,
nor detract from, the town teams
games. Furthermore, by seeing sew
eral teams in action. stronger town
team could be selected. But the
best feature of all about such a
league is that it is bound to be sue
cessful financially, there being but
little expense connected with it.
The plan merits consideration.

NOTE FROM GEN. ANGELES
Villa Asks Gen. Erwin to Explain Why
United States Troops Crossed

FL Paso, Texas, June 20.-Villa will
make no reprisals upon American
property and lives in Mexico because
American troops drove his men back
from the border Sunday night, a
courier from Villas camp near villa
Ahumada, who arrived here last night
on an important mission, asserted.
He also had a communication from
General Felipe Angeles for Brig, Gen.
James b. Erwin, district commander.
The communication asked why Ameri
can troops crossed to the Mexican
side Sunday night. The communica-
ton was received by General Erwin,
acted upon and referred to Maj. Gen.
De Rosey c. Cabell, Southern Depart
ment commander.
The courier said Villa was afraid
Carranza soldiers would fire into Ell
Paso to force American troops to
cross. and it was for this reason that
he remained outside of Juarez three
days. hoping that the Federals would
come out and give battle in the open.
The courier said the first Villa

whereupon he ordered his men to
evacuate the town ard leave for the
foothills at once. Villa was more
than a mile from town at the time
and started Immediately for his base
near Samalayuca. 1t is not reason
able. according to the courier, to be-
lieve Villas men would snipe across
the border into III Paso when Villa
hesitated to attack Juarez for fear
bullets would fall in FL Paso and
bring about complications.

YALE EIGHT WINS
STIRRING RACE
FROM HARVARD
Blue Shell Crosses Finish Line
One Length Ahead
WINNING TIME WAS 21:42 1-5
Harvard Leads In Early Part Of Race
but Loses Advantage at Two
Mile Point

New London. Conn, June 2O.-ln
the purple haze of the cool june twi-
light the Yale Varsity eight swung
its frail shell over the finish mark on
the Thames tonight length ahead OF
the tired Harvard crew. Ii was a
gruelling, heart-breaking journey in
which Yale Stamina and Yale grit
held out against the persistent
threats of the Crimson boat. The
Yale victory ended day OF the most
stirring racing which has been seen
at Harvard and Yale regatta in
many years. Yales time was 21:42
1-5 and Harvard's was 21:47 2-5,
which was / minute, 40 seconds be-
hind the record
After winning the freshman race
this morning by few feet and the
two-mile battle of the second eights
by a third of a length, the hopes of
the Harvard crowds we're high, and
during a delay of more than two
hours before the big race the Grim
son supporters were so confident that
they wagered freely at even money.
For the first two miles in the fast
fading light Of the dying day. Har-
ward set a pace which carried the
Yale crew along with dogged determ-
ination At times Harvard was out
in front by slight margin, and at
one time 1t had almost half length
on the Yale boat. From the obserya-
tion trains it looked as IL the Grim
son had even a greater lead and the
Harvard cheers ricocheted back and
forth across the river in a gay chant
OF unrestrained joy.
Harvard failed to reckon on the
strong hearts that were in the Yale
boat After shooting through the
flags which marked the two-mile
mark Yale hit up the stroke and
pulled up on even terms with Har-
ward and then shot into the lead.
Pulling a S4-stroke, Yale's shell forg-
ed ahead until they had full length
on Harvard and then the Yale crowds
set up wild shout when there was
open water between the boats. It
was Yale's turn TO break loose and
the hills echoed with the cheers OF
the Blue followers.

POSTMASTER GENERAL
BURLESON is HONORED
Says He is Honored by Dsapprobation
4 of Such Man as Representative
GaIlvan

Washington, June 20.--Postmaster
General Burleson sent letter today 10
Representative James p. Buchanan. in
which he said that the attack made up
on him yesterday by Representative
Gallivan Of Massachusetts might have
been based upon the fact that he
(Burleson) was responsible for the
discontinuance of the pneumatic tube
service. The letter read in part:
in reply to your telephone inquiry
as to the reason for the hostile feeling
of the gentleman from Massachusetts,
Mr. Gallivan, toward the Postal Ser
vice, and particularly toward the Post
master General, beg leave to direct
your attention to the fact that upon my
recommendation the Pnumatic Tube
Service has been discontinued.
For years this useless appliance
was an incubus on the Postal Service.
occasioning waste of millions of dollars
of postal revenue. Every postal ex-
pert now agrees that the prediction of
the late Mr.. Justice Moody, made
when he was a member Of the House
and at the time this bankrupt com
mercial concern would ultimately
prove a strain on the Postal Service,
has been thoroughly verified. Repres-
entative Moody, then stated that a
prominent member of Congress, pend
ing the adoption of this tube service
by the government had been offered
as a gift stock in this concern, and
that the scheme to fasten 1t on the
Postal Service had been conceived in
sin and born of iniquity.'
"As stated above on my recommend.
alton this strain on the Postal Service
was removed by the last Congress.
II feel honored by the disapprobat.
ion OF such man. | would not ask
you to waste your time in making re.
ply to any statement he might make. u
] Mr.. Burleson enclosed a memorand
um in which it was stated that on Jan

of the American Pneumatic Service
Company on June 10, 1916 was printed

SENATOR PHELAN WANTS
NO MORE JAPANESE
California Democrat Urges Cancellation
Of Agreement and Prohibition OF
immigration

Washington, June 20.-Cancelation
of the so-called gentlemen's agreement
with Japan and prohibition of all inn
migration from that country was urged
before the House immigration commit
tee by Senator Phelan, democrat, of
California, who declared the Japanese
rapidly were making a silent con-
quest OF the western hemisphere.
Americas next war, he said would be
"on the Pacific and not on the At
lantic.
Senator Phelan urged also legislat-
ion to prohibit the Japanese from own
ing or leasing land in this country and
to make picture bride" marriages IL
legal. The greatest danger from the
Japanese the senator said, was caused
by their intimate and deep-rooted de-
sire to become landowners"
THE Japanese refuse TO work for
anyone else when 1t can be avoided"
he declared. when they acquire a
piece OF land they work Is to 20 hours
a day. For that reason Americans
are being driven out of the state
Land owners in California are apa-
thetic, Senator Phelan said, because
they are able to obtain from the Jap
anese far more for their land than
they could make by leasing or selling
1t to the Americans or by working
it themselves.
"The American laborers are not so
fortunate however" he said. They
are deprived of their means of liveli-
hood. Can you wonder many have
joined the ranks of the bolsheviki, the
|. w. WIS and the radicals?" Labor
unions Of the West coast are beginning
to realize "the seriousness Of the ques-
tion," the senator added, and to make
determined efforts to have all Japan
ese excluded.

missioner Roper said, however, the

standing that the manufactur or sale
of prohibited beverages was in no

Commissioner Roper explained that
the bureau necessarily would contin-
ue to enforce the tax laws as related

were repealed by Congress. No pro-
vision for repeal is contained in the
legislation now before Congress for
enforcing wartime and national pro-
