Pleasant Gathering THE Young
Woman's section Of the Woman s
club held the last meeting for 1915
at the home of Mrs. Maurice Dalton
Monday evening, December 27. The
occasion was a Christmas exchange
party. An exchange, not as someone
suggested, of the unwelcome gift for
really desired, but exchange
of bright ideas for deft fingers to
work into material form. Each girl
brought from among her store one or
two gifts which embodied especially
attractive features, and carried away
from the display goodly number of
clever ideas for future use. The
cracking logs in the CRATE sent jol-
ly invitation to the corn-popper and
the evening passed merrily, for the
hearts of the company were as light
as the white dancing over the glowing
Goals. The first meeting of the new
year will occur January 10. The
membership of the club is growing and
they are planning some interesting
events for 1916.

the Pennsylvania Railroad is storing
thousands of tons at convenient points
along the system. Two big storage
stations have been established here.
Since the start Of the European war

panies have been obliged to advertise
for miners.
One Central Pennsylvania operator
said that dealers are making money
for the first time in several years, as
the manufacturing Of war munitions
has created big demand for coal.

passenger service reasonable num-
 Der of neutral steamers under the American flag, the exact number to be agreed upon, under the same con- dition as the above mentioned Amer ican steamers.
 Facilities For Travel.
 The Imperial government believes it can assume that in this manner ade- ouate facilities for travel across the Atlantic ocean can be afforded Amer ican citizens. There would, there fore appear to be no compelling neces- sity for American citizens to travel
 to Europe in time of war on ships
 carrying an enemy flag. Tn particu-
 lar the Imperial government is un- able to admit that American citizens can protect an enemy ship through the mere fact of their presence on board.
 Germany merely followed England's s
 example when she declared part Of the high seas an area of war. Con- 1! sequently, accidents suffered by neu- trals on enemy ships in this area of war cannot well be judged differently from accidents to which neutrals are at all times exposed at the seat of war on land when they betake themselves l into dangerous localities in spite of previous warnings If, however, it should not be possible for the Amer 1 ican government to require an ade- Quate mum Der of neutral passenger steamers, the imperial government is prepared to interpose no objections to l the placing under the American flag | by the American government of four enemy passenger steamers for passen- ger traffic between North America and England. Assurances of free
 and safe" passage for American pas l senger steamers would then extend to apply under the identical pro-condi- ] tions to these formerly hostile pas senger steamers.
 Hopes For Understanding. The president of the United States has declared his readiness, in a way deserving of thanks, to communicate and suggest proposals to the govern ment of Great Britain with particu- lar reference to the alteration of mari time war. The Imperial governme ent will always be glad to make use of the good office of the president, and hopes that his efforts in the present case, as we'll as in the direction of the lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas, will lead to an understanding. The undersigned requests the am- bassador to bring the above to the knowledge of the American govern
 ment, and avails himself of the op- portunity to renew to His Excellency the assurance of his most distinguish ed consideration.

MINNEHAHA FIRE
 CAUSED BY BOMB
Steamers Officers Tell How Plot
 Was Rolled at Sea

Halifax, N. S., July 1o.--A bomb placed aboard the Atlantic Transport liner, Minnehaha, as she lay at her pier in New York caused the explo- sion and fire at sea in the opinion of the officers of the steamer which put in here for examination yesterday
 The explosion occurred in number three hold, and was of terrific force, shaking the vessel from stem to stern Those of the crew who were forward at the time, were fairly stunned by the shock and two sailors were hurl- ed bodily into the air. Flames fol- lowed quickly, and for two days and two nights the crew battled heroic ally to have the ship. There is no doubt in the minds of officers that Erich Muenter, alias Frank Holt. or confederates, were responsible for the outrage which, well-timed, occurred at 4:15 o'clock on the afternoon of July z, the date upon which the dy- namiter predicted that some vessel of the name of which he appeared un- certain, would be destroyed,
 How Plan Was Rolled.
 Muenter's plans were frustrated by the fact that his weapon of de- struction was placed with n1iscella- neous freight forward, and so was separated by stout bulkheads from an enormous cargo of ammunition which with other inf1ammable munitions of war intended for the Allies, filled the after holds.
 While the sailors fought the fire, Captain Claret headed his ship for Halifax and brought her safely through southwesterly gale and thick fog to an anchorage in the low CT harbor here at one o'clock this aft ernoon. By that time the flames had eaten their way through number three hold and into number four hold, but late this afternoon it was announced that they had been extinguished.
 Suffocating Fumes.
 The theory of spontaneous com bustion was never entertained, as the explosion was followed by the issuance from the matches of suffo- eating fumes that seriously hampered the crew in their fight, and which the officers insisted had been let loose by some internal instrument.
 Thrilling stories were told by the 100 men who made up the crew of the freighter The first two days out were uneventful. The Minnehaha sailed from New York for London at 7:14 o'clock last Sunday evening and left the outside anchorage at 10:30. A half hour after midnight on We'd nesday morning Captain Claret and his officers were somewhat startled
