This is the word brought back by
Mayor Fred Keller from the seventh
national conference on city planning
held June % I'm Detroit, at which
city planners, representatives of city
planning organizations and commit
tees ana other persons interested were
present.
The fact that every city of first or
second class in the United States needs
such commission, according 10 the
mayor, was the point upon which
speakers at the conference dwelt, and
was the lesson learned by every per-
son present The future of the city
specially in the eastern portion of the
Union, depends uDOn the steps taken
now tor its development, said the
mayor.
The commission Will be composed
OF representative business men of the
city, real estate dealers. architects and
mem bers of various civic Improvement
organizations. 1t Will be the duty Of
this committee to approve all future
plats OF additions to the city, regu-
lating the width OF the streets, their
Location and the size of the blocks in

cording 10 the mayor, where such
commissions are comparatively new.

build homes, buildings and business
blocks so that they face upon alleys.
1t is TO avoid this in South Bend that
the mayor will appoint the city plan
ming commission.
System i'm Naming Streets.
A systematic scheme of street nam
ing viii also be planned by the COM
mission. Location of streets, avenues
and courts Will be decided beforehand
and all plats of additions will pass
through the hands of the commission

city engineer to become a part of the
next map OF the city.
The conference at Detroit was at
tended only by members of civic i'm
provement experts. Mayor Keller was
the only mayor present.
The local commission will work in
cooperation with the city engineer, the
board Of public works and the board
of park commissioners. Suggestions
by the commission will be considered
bv both the latter boards before any
Improvement i'm park or city property
is undertaken.
To better place his idea before the
citizens of the city and to allow men,
bers of the proposed commission to
thoroughly understand the system, the
mayor has invited DR.. r. II. Whitten
of New York to this city. DR.. Whitten
besides making a thorough inVeSuSa-
ton of conditions here. will address
meetings both OF the commission and
of representative bodies Of citizens.

For several years Rev Father Carmody's
health has not been good and it has been
necessary for him to be in the South at
least a part of the winters. His resigna-
ton came surprise to most of his
parishioners, and they as well as the
townspeople generally viii regret the ne
cessity for such action.
Rev. Father Carmody was appointed to
the parish here in October, 1904. by
Right Rev. ]. s. Michaud, bishop of the
Burlington diocese, to succeed the late
Rev. Father Patrick Cunningham, and he
has served the Brattleboro church II
years. He has given his influence in
many ways for the upbuilding Of the com
munity and has earned the regard and es-
TEEN Of the public generally. He pos
sesses many liberal and winning traits OF
personal character and is deeply interest
ed in religious and educational matters.
Before coming to Brattleboro he was
pastor of the Church Of the Annuncation
in Ludlow five years, serving also as
trustee of Black River academy and q
member of the school board for the towr
of Ludlow. He held a pastorate in Rich
mond before being transferred to Ludlow
He was ordained to the priesthood IS
| years ago next Christmas.

ARMENIAN MASSACRES
"PURE INVENTIONS"
Count Won BernstorG Has Official Re
ports That Turks Are Not Com
mitting Atrocities.

BOSTON, Sept. p. - The German
Count Won Bernstorff, IN
a letter made public here today declared
concerning alleged atrocities in
the Ottoman empire We're ''pure inven-
tions. The ambassador s letter, writ
ten under date of Sept. % and ad-
dressed to Miriam Sevasly of this city,
chairman of the executive committee
of the National Defense Union of
America, who asked for a definite
statement. The letter follows:
In reply to your letter l beg to in
form that according to recent official
and authentic reports received by the
German government and transmitted
by this embassy to the government OF
the United States the alleged atroci-
ties committed in the Ottoman empire
appear to be pure inventions. Without
doubling the faith of the Catholics
beg, however, to call your attention to
the fact that His Holiness is writing
under pressure of the Russian censors
Yours very truly, J. Bernstorff.
The reference to the Catholic pri
mate of the Armenian church was
based on the report recently published
in which he declared that the extermi
nation of the Armenian race throughou
Turkey was being carried on under of
fetal directions of an organized system
of pillage, deportation, wholesale exc
cutions and massacres.

AUSTRIA TO RECALL
AMBASSADOR DUMBA
A Formal Note on the Subject VIII Be
Handed to Ambassador Penheld
at Early Date.

WASHINGTON. Set. -. - Austria
has informally notified Ambassador
Penfeld that it will recall Dr. Dumba,
Austrian ambassador to the United
States, as requested by President Will
son. This information was given to
Ambassador Penfeld when he infor-
mally advised Austrian officials on in
strnctions from Washington that the
United States sought the recall Of DR..
Dumba and would not be satisfied with
his departure on leave of absence.
Mr.. Penfeld was assured that the
wishes of the United States would be
complied with and that a formal note
on the subject would be handed to him
soon.
Until the formal expression is in the
hands of state department officials
they cannot act upon the ambassador 8
request for safe conduct.
DR.. Dumba had engaged passage on
the steamship Rotterdam, due to sail
Sept 90, but it is not known whether
arrangements can be made for him to
| leave on that date.
Officials refuse to comment on the
situation, making it clear that such in
formation as they received is of an
, informal nature given in conversation
and that the decision of Austria as ex
pressed in a note would be awaited.
