AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Way Down East" at Barre Opera House
Thursday.

Always refreshing, ever invigorating,
never wearisome, because il appeals to
the best that Is in the human breast,
Way Down East" will last AZ long as
an audience viii respond to the pathetic,
TO the humorous, TO the quaint and to
the paternal instinct. Lottie Blair Park
er's famous play comes to the opera
house Thursday, Oct %, matinee and
night.
OF this delightful New England idyl
nothing new can be written. II has no
peer among American domestic dramas.
II stands for what is good and whole
some, true and honest in rural New Eng
land, and is bound to have perennial
youth, because it tells true story OF
the human heart. Season after season
it has been welcomed, and the present
is no exception and the wonderful bus

ceived lengthy message from King
George. 1t is believed to be a final
appeal for peace, although the text
is withheld. There has been no ces-
sation of the war preparation.
London.-Under secretaries and at
taches of the French, German and
Russian embassies here quit London
today, returning to their respective
countries, to join their regiments.
Paris.-It is reported here semi
officially that the German ambassa-
dor to St. Petersburg has received
his passports and is on his way to
Berlin. The foreign Office refuses to
comment on the report.
BerIin.-It is admitted semi-offi-
cially that the kaiser has Intercepted
the French foreign Office as to the
attitude of France in the event of
a declaration of war against Russia.
A reply has been demanded before
6 p. m Saturday.
London.-The issue of war or
peace hinges on England's position.
In statement in the United Press the
French ambassador tonight said: -
Everything now depends on Eng
land. If she will inform Germany
that her navy is prepared to strike
there may be no war, otherwise the
situation is hopeless
The ambassador added that he had
received information from Paris that,
unless the situation changes for the
better, the German ambassador to
France will abandon his post tonight.
BerIin.-The foreign office this
afternoon announced an important
conference between the German am
bassador at Paris and the French for
eign Office. 1t was expected that an
announcement of the result of the
conference would be made shortly
after p. m.

tells Cecil, Savoy, Ritz-Carlton and
Waldorf laying in three months sup
plies of provisions today. ~
Berlin.-It is admitted that the for
eign office has received Frances re-
ply to German demand that France
announce her intentions in case Of
war between Germany and Russia.
Tenor of the reply is unfavorable.
BerIin.-AIl German shipping has
been ordered to make for the nearest
neutral port. The government today
sent word to German ship owners
that their craft must seek safety at
once.
London.-Russia and Germany
have broken. Reports from number
of points agree that diplomatic rela-
tons were severed at noon today.
The German ambassador to France
has asked the United States to act
for his country when he leaves Paris.
Telephone communications between
England and the continent has ended.
The tension here in England in
creases hourly. The mobilization or
ders are prepared and await only sig
nature. King George continues his
efforts to force resumption of ne
gotiations, but even he is reported to
have lost hope. ..
The breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tons between Berlin and st. Peters
burg must inevitably be followed, if
they have not been already, by the
breaking off of the relations between
Berlin and Paris. There is no doubt
of Frances intention of coming to
the aid of her ally Russia.

CHAPTER XIV.
Another Trap Set.

III the truth be told, Jones was as deeply
chagrined over the outcome Of the counter
felt deal as was Braine. they had both
failed signalIy TO reach the goal sought.
But this time the organization had broken
even with Jones, and this fact disturbed
the butler. 1t might signify that the turn
ing point had been reached, and that in
me future the good luck might swing over
to the side Of the Black Hundred. Jones
redoubled his precautions, reiterated hi
warnings, and slept less than ever. In
deed, as he, went over the ground he con
ccded a point 10 the Black Hundred. lie
would no longer be able to keep tabs on
the organization. They had deserted their
former quarters absolutely. The agent Of
whom they had leased the building knew
nothing except that he would have 10 re-
pair the place. The rent had been paid q
year in advance, a. it has been these
last eight years. lie had dealt through an
attorney who knew no more Of hi clients
than the agent. So II will be seen that
Jones Nod in reality received a check.
More than all this, it would give hiS enc
mics renewed confidence: and this was 4.
deeper menace than he cared 10 face. But
he went about his usual affairs a. usual.
giving no hint of the mental turmoil which
had possession Of him.
lit is needless 10 state that Norton did
not scoop his rivals on the counterfeit
story. But he set to work exploring the
cellnr Of the Quilted building. and in one
corner be found n battered die. lie turned
this over 10 the secret service men. There
was one man h. wanted 10 iind-Nroon.
This man, could he find him. should b.
made TO lead him. Norton. 70 the new
stronghold. lie saw the f%utilitv Of TRYING
70 trap Braine by Shadowing him. lie de-
sired Braine to believe that hi escape

l,500,000 SOLDIERS
 IN BRITISH ARMY
Recruits Drilling Eagerly To Fit Themselves for War.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The British army on the rolls and drilling in the United Kingdom amounts approxi- mately to 1,50O,OOO men. Of this to- tai about 800,000 men belong to what lis termed "Kitchener's army"-men who have responded to his two calls for 500,O00 soldiers to serve three years or for the duration of the war; About 600,000 belong to the territor- ials, while the remainder are enroll ed with the special services, so call ed, or with the regular army, and have seen service previously.
 The territorials are considered the flower of the force, as a great ma jority of them belong to the middle and upper middle classes and are men accustomed to athletic pursuits. Both physically and mentally they are con- sidered by military men to be about the finest body of its numbers ever assembled under arms.
 They are drilling with feverish en- thusiasm and are anxious to go abroad for service on the firing line. A con- siderable proportion of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener's army, of course, is not yet fully equipped. but the men are working hard They are being armed and clothed with great rapid ity. The Canadian contingent is not included in this total.

COTTON EXCHANGE
 SOON REOPEN

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The cotton exchanges in New York and Liver pool are to be opened next Monday. The authorities feared to open them until the reserve banks were in con- dition to aid the financing of the big crop. It was thought that if the exchanges were opened the bottom would be knocked out of the market and a panic would result, as many holders of cotton must let go quickly. Germany is now buying strongly fol- lowing the announcement that the British would not consider cotton consigned to Germany as contraband.
