The constant reports that Germany IS
on the eve of making serious issue in
the Philippines are unaccountable to offic-
ials here who have most direct and taclt
information that Germany has never con-
templated such step, and is not now
moving towards its execution, either alone
or with other powers. This direct
information oyercomes many ciroumstan-
ttal reports coming from Europe, some
asserting that Germany is exchanging
secret notes with other powers; others
that Admiral Prince Henry and Admi-
raj Diederichs are about to intervene at
Manila, others that the German embassy
here has made protest to the state de-
partment, and others that Emperor Will
liam himself is taking personal interest
in resenting the American occupation Of
the PHILIPPINES. There is the highest
authority for saying that each one of
these reports is groundiess and they are
all attributed to malicious purpose to
embitter the feeling between Germany
and the limited States. In the main these
REPORTS have originated outside Germany :.
although one army and navy newspaper
in Germany took them up and urged the
advantage of an active German Motley in
the Philippines. 1t is said by persons
familiar with the facts that this journal
is without official recognition and 1n.no
way represents the attitude of the Ger
man government. 1t is more the organ
of the navy and as such shares the usual
sentiment among naval classes for an
aggressive use OF the navy. But this poll
cy, it is said, has never recommended it.

reached Wells River about 200 people were
aboard, forty.six we're from Montpelier,
and seventy-nine from Barre. The round
trip from Montpelier Of over 200 miles was
made promptly on schedule time and the
glories Of the autumnal foliage In this de-
lightful region were at their brightest.
Brief stops were made at Fabyans, but the
barred and suffered windows and deserted
verandas of this mammoth hostelry, as well
as the Mount Pleasant and Crawford
Houses gave little evidence Of the gay
thousands that have thronged them during
the season just closed. A stop of nearly an
hour was made at Bartlett, where the ex-
cursionists made the most OF the time. The
immense mills of the Bartlett Lumber Com
pany with its eighty employees and huge
band saws were visited by scores. Several
from Montpelier and Barre dined at the
Mountain Cove House, others lunched at
the railroad restaurant, while the majority
carried their lunch and ate 1t en- route. The
day was all that could be desired, with a
chill in the air that made light wraps desi-
rable and suggested that winters picket

rangements were all that could be desired,
and the only drawback to the enjoyment
of the day was the presence OF four kids
from Plainfleld and Barre. who, after i'm.
bibing couple Of glasses OF two per cent
imagined that they owned the train, and
made themselves obnoxious to decent
sober people,.
