the arrival of the vessels crew.
Only meager accounts Of the sinking
OF the steamer have been received
here. The episode. however, is the
subject OF considerable discussion here,
coming SO soon after the delivery of
the American note to Germany.
American government will not def
nitely be determined until all the facts
in the case have been received. It is
probable. however. that the procedure
will be the same as In the case of the

CHANCELLOR AND KAISER
DISCUSS NOTE Of j. S.
Some Berlin Officials Believe Latest
Document Closes Diplomatic
Discussions,

BERLIN, July 27.-The imperial
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollwee,
yesterday conferred with the emperor
at general headquarters. While the
audience concerned other questions the
American note also was under discus
sion.
Nothing tangible regarding the Ger
man attitude on the American COM
munication is likely to be made known
before the chancellor's return to Ber-
lin. No discussions OF the note have
taken place at the foreign office, and
the question whether any reply what
ever to the American communication
Will be made seems in the meantime TO
be quite unsettled. Some officials are
inclined to believe that the American
note closes the diplomatic discussions
most thoroughly.
May Suggest Arbitration.
Others think that a reply of some
sort will be made by Germany, and
that the question of Naturalization for
the American lives lost will perhaps be
suggested for reference to arbitration
This suggestion was under considera-
ton during the drafting of the earlier
notes. but If decided upon will admost
certainly not be put into operation i'm
mediately.
One factor in this determination is
the desire to await the outcome Of the
negotiations with England regarding
interference with American trade. The
outcome of this dispute, it is believed.
Is not likely to affect the general Ger
man policy regarding submarines. but
the tone of the American note to Great
Britain will be taken as a guide in
interpreting the latest note to Ger
many. Officials believe that this is de-
cidedly brusque and not calculated to
aid in the settlement of the German
American difficulties.

NEW COURT EXPENSIVE
Judge Donoway Criticises Sending
Courts Around County.


Rutland, May 21.-urging the mem
bers of the Rutland county bar to do
their utmost to save the best of the
new legislation for municipal courts
and reformed judicial procedure,
Judge Eleazer L. Waterman last
night counselled cooperation with
the courts and an optimistic view of
the recently enacted laws.
This was notwithstanding the
frank statement of James B. Dono-
way of the Middlebury Municipal
court and States Attorney C. V.
Poulin of this county that the new
Municipal court BILL at least, was a
mistake and would cost the state
money.
1.-THE law makes the court a piece
of travelling machinery said Judge
Donoway at must go into whatever
town an offense is committed and
give the respondent a common-law
jury trial of II men. 1t will cost $35
for fees and fine to convict a com
mon drunk. 1t will be necessary to
keep a roster of 80 jurymen in every
town on file, which would mean 400
in this county.
THE state made serious error
in providing for 12-man jury, a
stenographer and all the parapher-
MALTA of court of record. The new
courts, also, will overlap the county
courts in many respects. One thing
we all agreed upon, however, and
that is that the archaic, common-aw
system of trials by justice of the
peace should be done away with"
