 Influences At Work
 For 100 years" continued the Alabama senator, there have been sinister influences in this country and outside of 1t. opposed to Amer ican shipping, opposed to keeping an American ship on the sea. Since the war, there have been alltkinds of ru- mors in the newspapers and out of them In reference to this bureau of the government which was created for the purpose of furnishing the American people with ships to carry their goods over the seas. I have no doubt that during time of war expen- ditures were made which were ex- travagant, so that when we come to balance accounts with postwar con ditions and prices, there were great losses, as there were In all other lines during the war.
 "I do not say that there may not have been waste, but I think it un- just to the American people who want ships on the seas flying the American flag, to allow tho shipping board, as at present constituted, or as consti- tuted in the past, to be made bat tledore and shuttlecock for the peo- pie who want to destroy our ship ping fleet for their own purposes.
 "I think the only way for the Sem ate to get to the bottom of the mat ter and get a real, honest understand ing of the situation Is to direct the committee on commerce to go to the bottom of the situation"
 In a political sense, the republican party. it Is strongly indicated, would prefer that no investigation be had. At present, they can point to the "extravagance" of the board as orig inally created under the administra- ton of former President Wilson, and the "saving" which has been wrought by the board as named by President Harding.
 A complete investigation would tend to show, 1t Is definitely learned, that former losses were not as great as they are declared to be, and are in the main. easy of explanation. It has been stated by Senator Fletcher of Florida and others that figures are available proving that while opera ton of shipping. board vessels was conducted at loss, the loss would have been greater had the vessels not .been operated.

DESPAIR LURKS
 IN WEAK BLOOD
Guides Pepto-Mangan,
 the Blood-Builder, Arouses Dull Faculties

Many . man and many q woman feels all out of sorts from thin, weakened blood. The least little thing gone wrong throws them into a wild form of despondency. Instead of brac- ing up and meeting ordinary diff culties, they are downed. Nerves are on edge, Appetite lags. Sleep is restless. They are weak and tired and dull. Poor blood works it's havoc till the will loses it's power Few people who fall into habits of worry and despondency realize that most of their troubles are due to lack of endurance--to blood that has become weakened by overwork or straining.
 Healthy men and women with rich red blood see things brightly They tackle life with zest and go along smilinsly, full of eagerness and en- dursnce.
 Gude's Pepto-Mangan taken stead fly restored the blood to it's natural richness. It actually makes red cor puscles, the tiny particles in blood which make it red. Druggists have Gude's Pepto- Mangan In liquid and tablet form. Advertisement

gate the United States chipping board thoroughly. from turret to garret, and there Is evidence that they will support the resolution of Senator La- toilette of wisconsin making provis- ion to that effect
 The attitude of the democrats, as expressed by their leader in tho Sen ate, Senator Underwood of Alabama, lis not an unfriendly attitude. The Alabama senator believes that If the investigation is ordered and made, those members of Congress. prone to criticise, and to hold the shipping board responsible for all the ills of mankind, will be deprived of their pet" argument and left bereft of pertinent issues.
 At present, Congress displays an inclination to investigate in piece meal" fashion. Certain facts are de- manded to prove a single point or establish specific theory; certain statements are called for to satisfy the constituency of one individual member of Congress. But by virtue of the fact that the Lafollette reso- lution has lain dormant for many weeks, Congress Is apparently disin- clined to go deep into the entire sit uation.
 Underwood's speech
 So numerous arc the attacks against the board. and so nultitudi- nous their causes, that Senator Un- derwood, in a short statement in tho Senate, saw proper to refer to the forces" which would prevent the un- furling of the flag in all the ports of the world.
 Senator Poindexter of Washington, had introduced resolution, which was subsequently passed. demanding of the shipping board a statement of It's obligations and It's available cash by means of. which to discharge its obligations. Senator Frelinhuysen of New Jersey, in supporting the Poin dexter resolution, took occasion to declare that the shipping board, prior to the inauguration of the new per sonnel, had kept no books. A polite denial of this assertion by Senator Underwood. forced the New Jersey senator to amend hls broad assertion.
 T am sure" said Senator Under wood, ',that the senator from New Jersey made his statement on infor- nation that he regarded as reliable. I am informed, however, that last June, just before the present board came in,-a complete audit of the ex penditure of the shipping board. was made. I think that an accurate un- derstanding would show that there were some losses from operations be- fore the. new board came in. some s30. 900, 900 or s3o, 100000, but that the real losses, charged to the emergency fleet corporation were in the loss of tho yalue of shipping that was built

MANY HOUSE, Is
CAUGHT !. RE
FROM SPARKS
Great Quantity of Bobbins
and "Speeders" Was
Burned-Shops Were the
Chief Industries of the
Village, Volunteers Came
from Miles Around

East Corinth, June 1.-THE bobbin
shop of Ernest Bowen, a storehouse Of
the Jackman Brcs. finishing plant and
the village schoolhouse and village hall
were destroyed by fire late yesterday,
and at times many houses were on fire
as the frebrands were driven about
the village. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 and falls as a serious blow on
the place.
The fire started in the Bowen shop
at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, probably
from sparks from the chimney, and it
house. The schoolhouse and hall was
located about 100 rods away from
these buildings and caught fire from
brands carried by the wind. The school
house might have been saved, no doubt,
if there had been any ladders long
enough to reach the roof of the strsle-
sture. Hand chemicals were brought into
play but they could do little to check
the progress of the flames in the school
house and bobbin shops.
The chemical engine from Fairlee
was brought to aid in the fight against
the destruction of the village and peo-
Pile came from miles around, including
Bradford, Fairlee and Topsham The
people rallied to the aid of persons
whose homes were endangered by tho
firebrands, and the destruction was con-
fined to the three buildings named
A great part of the loss was to fn-
ished bobbins. Mr.. Bowen had 250,0c0
"speeders" stored in his shop and all
were destroyed. Jackmau Bros. also
had a large quantity of bobbins stored.
The latter are said TO have carried
fairly good insurance. but Mr.. Bowen
had only 81 900 insurance.
The schoolhouse contained the pri-
mary and grammar grades of the viii
lage schools. II was erected in 1872 and
was being repaired at the time OF the
fire. On the second floor of the strrIc-
ture was the village hall, where the
various entertainments of the village
were held
About Is men were employed in the
bobbin and finishing shops. II is not
known whether the buildings viii be
replaced, but it is expected that the
schoolhouse and village hall will be re-
placed as soon as possible.

NONE Is LIKELY

Plans for Proposed League
of Nations Very
Indefinite

Washington, d. c., June II (By the
Associated Pressl Hamilton Holt's
letter calling on President Harding to
disclose his plans for an association OF
nations to replace the league has failed
to draw any reply from the admins
tration and indications are that none
will be made, at least for the pres
ent.
Mr.. Holt headed the proleague Re
publicans during the campaign II was
said at the White House to-day that
his open letter made public in New
York yesterday had not yet been re-
ceived Further than that, officials re-
fused to comment.
The impression was permitted to 60
out. however, that if President Hard
ing replies to the letter he win not en-
ter into any detailed discussion and that
so far as the administration is con-
cerned the association plan must re-
main for the present in an indefinite
status as the administration prefers
first definite settlement of peace and
restoration of stable conditions in
Europe.
Some persons in the confidence of the
administration said to-day progress of
a preliminary character on plans for
the proposed association had been
made and that at least one draft of
plan had been made by an eminent
authority on international law at the
request of President Harding The pres.
dent, these people say, has not ap-
preached the point of giving approval
to anything final, and the indications
are against any international negoti.
ations on the subject in the immedi-
ate future.
