Italy's position as member of the

Germany under certain conditions, has
been discussed in every phase and the
general concensus of opinion seems to be
that the Italian people would never per-
init an act Of hostility against France
and Great Britain.
Because Italy is neutral, all manifesto
tions for or against the belligerents are
being vigorously repressed. Yet every

siasm for France have occurred. In
Rome there have been frequent cries of
"Long live France! Long live our Latin

ACCUSED OF ARSON
AT CASTLETON
Frank H. Sherman, 5r, Arrested After
Inquest Into Cause of Fire Which
Destroyed John Jones Slate
Company's Mill.

Rutland, Aug. s.--As the result of an
inquest before Judge Horace M. Redfeld
at Castleton yesterday, Frank II. Sher-
man, sr., was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Beach, charged with arson. Later in the
day Mr.. Sherman was arraigned before
Justice w. C. Rice, pleaded not guilty,
waived examinatio and was bound over
to the September term of county court,
bail being set 1T 81 800. This amount
of surety was furnished.
Sherman stands charged with setting
fire TO the John Jones Slate Cos. mill,
which was totally destroyed by fire on
April 27, the blaze being discovered
about 2:30 o'clock in the morning.
II is said there was i'll feeling be-
tween several employees of the company
and Mr.. sherman, the man detained,
and his son, both of whom were EN-.
ployed by the concern.
The fire was discovered by the en-
gineer of passing train, and his whistle
was sounded as warning to the people
Of the village. The plant was situated
Just west of the main village.
The plant had been vacated since Sat
urday afternoon and the cause was q
mystery and at the time supposed to be
incendiary.
r. n, Northrop. who is. manager of
the concern, is thought TO have received
some letters from the Shermans rela-
tive to the discharge OF some Of the EN-
ployes, and it IS understood that an
ultimatum was enclosed in these com
munications.

WIRE COMPANIES
HURT BY STORM
Both the Telephone and Electric Service
About Barre Was Affected by the
Electrical Storms of Last
Night.

Around o'clock last evening one o.
the most furious storms OF the season
broke over the city and for few mo
ments threatened heavy damage. a
brilliant electrical display, accompanied
by sharp peals cf thunder preceded the
storm and continued at close intervals
while the rain was falling. A driving
wind from the southwest added to the
strenuousness OF the affair and to facili'
tate the dumping OF much moisture over
the parched earth, the air cooled sufh'
ciently to freeze the water into little
balls of ice that did considerable dam
age to hay and grain on the outskirts
Last nights storm was of short dura-
tion and followed one of the hottest
days of the summer.
This morning at o'clock there was
noise of heavy firing overhead and with
in few moments the valley was in the
grip of a second big storm. This time
the wind remained in the background,
but there was plenty of thunder and a
repetition of last nights vivid lightning
display. Once or twice, it is believed,
lightning struck outside the city, al
though it wrought no appreciable havoc
here in town.
The chief sufferers are the Consolidat-
ed Lighting Co. and the Vermont Tel. &
Tel Co. At the Offices of the lighting
company this morning, the partial de-
struction of two transformers was re-
ported. At the south end a large trans
former located near Robins Bros plant
was burned out and a ive-kilowatt
transformer at the Quinlen hotel on
North Main street was badly wrecked
by the storm All over the city fuses
were blown out and linemen in the en-
ploy of the company had their hands
full to-day. 1t is expected that every
thing will be going smoothly on the
eompany's lines tonight, although the
power on a few circuits was shut off
during the forenoon.
The telephone company Jared even
worse than the lighting people. No few
er than twenty-five lines were out of
commission to-day. officials of the COM
pany when interviewed to-day said the
damage was caused by both storms.
Several lines were rendered useless by
the evening storm and others were Grip
pied this morning The telephone COM
pany assigned their linemen to the dis
abled lines at daybreak and it was hoped
that the service interruption would be of
short duration.
From the way the weather man talked
to-day it looks a deal as though the in
tense humidity of the past two days
may continue until tomorrow or Mon
day. Yesterday the mercury joined the
-four and meat prices in an upward fight
and careful observers reported registra-
tions as high as so and 02 in the shade.
A Richardson street man who is usually
up with the songsters in the morning
looked at his thermometer not long after
da aybreak to-day and saw the Indicator
pointing at 70. This, he says. is the
warmest early reading he has taken this
summer. Through the day, it was
thought, and over night, more thunder
showers may develop, but it doesn't fol
low of necessity that cooler weather win
come.

Berlin, via London, Aug. s.-A proc

to the German nation was published in
the Official Gazette yesterday, The text
was as follows
"Since the foundation of the German

ancestors to preserve the peace of the
world and to advance by peaceful means
our vigorous development.
"0ur adversafes, however, are Jealous
of the successes of our work and there
has been latent hostility to the east,
west and beyond the sea.
"This has been borne by MS till now,
as we were aware of our responsibility
and our power.
'ENow, however, these adversaries wish
to humiliate us. asking that we should
look on with folded arms and watch
our enemies preparing themselves for
the coming attack.
"They will not suffer that we m~in-
tain our resolute fidelity TO our ally who
is fighting for her position as great
power and with whose humiliation our
power and honor would equally be lost.

"In the midst of perfect peace the
enemy surprises us. Therefore, TO armsl
"Any dallying and temporizing would
be to betray the fatherland.
"To be or not to be is the question
for the empire which our fathers found

for German power and German exist
ence.
"We shall resist TO the last the threat
of man and horse and we shall fight out
the struggle even against world Of
enemies.
"Never has Germany been subdued
when she was united.
Forward with God, who will be with
us as he was with our ancestors"
