opposing forces. He is as pleased with
the game as a boy with new toy and

former kingdom of his cousin. This
situation furnishes rather strong evil
dence that Wilhelm Hohenzollern was
war-cracked prior to the summer of
1914 and rather bellies the contention
of the exkaiser's defenders that he
was merely victim of the military

BENNINGTON BATTLE DAY
AT ESSEX FAIR GROUNDS

Essex Center, Aug. 12.--Bennincton
Battle Day will be celebrated here
Saturday at the county fair grounds
with oat races and baseball game
between Shelburne and Essex mines
The races will be the last Of Il series
held about the State during the last
month, prior to the opening of the
racing season at the county fairs in
the fall, the first to be at Morrisvile
next week. There will be at least n
score of horses entered in the event y
of the afternoon and it is safe to say
that in the 2:20 pace class a good
match is assured. The track at the
grounds is in better shape than ever
before, so sportsmen claim and the
time of the matches should be de-
creased because of its condition. The
races will start ut one o'clock and the
management of the turf speedway has
decided to make the grandstand open
to all free of charge for the occasion.
Because of the construction work GO
ing on at Fort Ethan Allen it is ad-
visable to get to the grounds by

Washington, Aug s-President Wilson
laid several specific proposals before
Congress to-day for checking the high
cost Of living, but at the same time
declared permanent results could not be
expected until peace-timc bases were
fully restored b. ratification of the peace
treaty.
High prices, the President told Con-
eress. were not justified by shortage of
supply either present or prospective. but
were created in many cases 'artificially
and deliberately" by vicious practices"
Retailers. he said. were responsible in
large part for extortionate prices.
CONDEMNS STRIKES
Strikes, the President warned the
labor world, would only make matters
worse and those who sought to employ
threats or coercion were only preparing
their own destruction" Leaders of or
ganized labor, the President said, he was
sure would presently yield to second sober
thought.
illegal and "criminal' were the
words the-President used characterizing
the methods by which some present day
prices have been brought about.
Present laws, he said, would be ener-
getically employed to the limit to force
out food boards. and meet the situation
so far as possible but to supplement the
existing statutes he specifically urged
the following:
SUGGEST NEW LAWS
Licensing of all corporations engaged
In interstate commerce, with specific
regulations designed to secure competi-
tive selling and prevent "unconsclonable
profits" in the method of marketing.
Extension of the food control act TO
peace times and the application Of its
provisions against boarding to fuel.
clothing and other necessities of life as
well as food.
penalty in the food control act for
prof1teering.
A law regulating cold storage, limiting
the time during which goods may be
held; prescribing a method of disposing
of them If held beyond the permitted
period and requiring that when released
goods bear the date of storage.
WILL MARK PRICES
Laws requiring that goods released
from storage for interstate commerce
bear the selling prices at which they
went into storage and requiring thai
all goods destined for interstate com.
merce bear the price at which they left
the hands of the producer
Enactment of the pending bill fol
