REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE.
Leaders Gathering in Chicago Today
to Consider Campaign Questions.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Several important
political gatherings and conferences are
to be held in this city during the present
week They viii begin Immediately after
the adjournment OF the Democratic ma
tional convention, and before the end of
the week it probably will be definitely
known whether the 1920 campaign viii be
along district party lines or whether de-
fections from one or bota parties are to
be expected.
Chairman Hays and a score of members
of the Republican National committee and
the Harding campaign managers reached
Chicago today directly from Marion, Ohio.
The nature of the campaign by the Re
publicans will depend upon who IS the
| Democratic nominee. Earlier in the week
the Republicans had indicated they ex
peeted the nomination Of McAdoo and had
lprepared for an aggressive campaign.
The choice of the candidate may also al
feet the question as to whether the prin
cipal campaign must be waged in the Eas
or West, and whether the principal head
quarters shall be in New York or Chicago

commander of ship sunk or damaged
by submarine attacks was entitled to
a medal, if he showed proper quail
fication, even though the ship was un-
tary Daniels cited numerous examples
in American naval history and also
pointed to instances of such awards by
the French government during the
World war.
"In the attack of submarine war
fare said Mr. Daniels, cit is not the
fact that man strikes or is struck
that attests to mettle and to naval
leadership. The question is does he
play the part of the man with chivalry
and thought only of others and of his
country and has he by preparation and
foresight done all that is possible to
meet any and every emergency and,
when he faces court of his brother
officers, do they find that he has meas
ured up in the terrible ordeal to the
high naval position. Admirals Mayo
commended commanding officers under
them for distinguished service medals
who displayed these high qualities when
their ships struck by mines or torpedoes
were sunk or damaged, the board of
awards approved their recommends
tions. The greatest thing that man
ever does in this world is to turn a
stumbling block into stepping stone.
If medals are not given for this sort
of noble courage and coolness and d.
rection in supreme danger what on
earth are they designed for"
Referring to Admiral Sims s state
ment that he had not recommended en-.
listed men for medals because "we had
nothing to give them, the secretary
called the committee S attention to the
act creating the award which he said
made no distinction between an ad.
miral, captain and enlisted men. With
that in mind, he ordered fasther study
of navy records when he found that
only 119 enlisted men of the 10000 in
the navy during the war had been rec
commended for any high honor, he ex
planned As the result of this study
as vet incomplete, he said, additiona
enlisted men were awarded the distin
| guished service medal and 6S4 men wer,
put on the list for navy crosses.

HOME ECONOMICS
TO BE CONSIDERED
Women's Executive Committee Sends
Out 800 Letters-Resolution to
Be Presented Friday.

A resolution regarding the continu-
ante of the home economics department
for Windham county will be presented
at the annual meeting of the Farm
Bureau Friday in Odd Fellows temple,
and with view to arousing interest
in the matter Mrs. H. W. Frost of East
Putney, secretary of the women IS di-
vision, sent about 800 letters to women
in the county yesterday. The letter
follows, in part:
No active work has been done since
July, 1919, when our department. lost
the most valuable services of our home
demonstration agent, Miss Lucy G.
Swift. Many of the members have ex-
pressed a wish for the continuation of
the work in some form, but there were
not sufficient funds to employ a full
time home demonstration agent during
the last half of 1919. Certain of the
members feel that a club leader would
be a very desirable addition to the
Farm Bureau work in the county.
'.The question of the disposal of the
! home economics work has been made
a part of the Farm Bureau annual meet
ing and it is the plan of the women ::
:,
meeting of the women members anC
| others interested in the home economic!
or club leader department in the ante
room of the Odd Fellows hall, Brattle
boro, between IL and u O'Clock IN th
| forenoon of Feb. g. 1t has been sug
gested that the home economics worl
be continued and that membership
drive for 81 each be made among tn
women of the county. Another sug
gestion is that the home economies de
partment be discontinued and that
junior club department be set up in it
place and supported by membership
and direct appeals to the several town
interested. As your executive commit
tee, we do not feel able to direct th
