 to Withdraw.

Boston, Oct 8.-Two attacks on the harbor Notifications by the hostile feet in the war maneuvers which began yesterday were repelled, accord ing to Lieutenant Colonel w. c. Haan, commanding the seven harbor forts.

COOPERS STRIKE.
French Worl<men Oppose Shipments
 of Oil To Switzerland.

Marseilles, Oct 8, 4:25 a. m.- Coopers employed at large oil <s- tablishmenp here have gone on strike against the shipment of abnormal quantities of oils to Switzerland, as- serting they refuse to be accomplices in what really is traffic with g. na- tion at war with France. Statistics show that exports of vegetable oil to Switzerland from Marseilles have increased 34 per cent. and of edible vegetable fats 131 per cent. since the beginning of the war. Vast quantities of machine oil also are shipped from America to Switzerland through Mar seilles.
 The traffic assumed such propor- tions that it was drawn to the at- tention of Finance Minister Ribot who is considering means of stopping what he believes source of supply for Germany. The coopers' strike, it is believed here, will bring to a head what threatened to develop into an ugly scandal.

MORGENTHAU FAILS
 TO HELP ARMENIANS
American Ambassador to Turkey
 SCorned By London Times

London, Oct. 8, 3:07 a. m.-The l Times in a long article this morning giving details of the Armenian mas l sacres, says: The attempts of the l American ambassador to procure some alleviation of the Armenian lot l thus far have proved unsuccessful. 1 MT. Morgenthau, in the opinion of good observers, has wasted too much | diplomatic energy on behalf of the zionists of Palestine, who were in no danger of massacre, to have any force l to spare.
 "Talaat Bey Turkish minister of | the interior) and Bedri Bey (Chief of police of Constantinople) simply own that prosecuting the Armenians | amuses them and turn deaf ear to American pleadings. German and ustrio-Hungarian residents of Tur- key at first approved the punishment of Armenian traitors but the met l,ods of the Turkish extremists have sickened even Prussian stomachs."
 When Sufferings Began.
 The Times declares no massacres occurred during Turkish mobilization or in the early stages of the Cau- casus campaign and 1t was not until Enver Pasha's army invaded Russian territory that Armenians began to suffer
 According to Russian newspapers and American missionaries the Times asserts 2,00O Armenians were slain in northwest Persia and from 2,000 to 5000 in the Bashkala district It has been said that the policy of mas sacre and deportation was not under taken until after the Armenian de-
 
 Tines professes to have information to the effect that massacres began long before that date.
 Present Armenian Autonomy.
 Talaat Bey is credited with having made the statement at Bitlis: 1T in tend to prevent any talk of Armenian autonomy for fifty years to come"
 Most of the Armenians gave up their arms in accordance with the advice of their clergy. They offered resistance, however, at three widely separated points. AS some other places they revolted and were overpowered by Turkish troops.
 Several Armenians Arrested.
 Several of Talaat Bey's personal friends who were Armenians, in- cluding Hadjian eEffendi, former min- ister of public works, and other prominent officials have been arrested and some of them have disappeared.
 The Times correspondent asserts | that on August 31 the German and Austrian ambassadors at Constanti- nople protested to. the Grand Vizier against the massacres of Armenians and demanded written statement to :he effect that their governments had IS' connection with them. But Tur- key has not yet compiled with the demand.

When the snais are gathered from the woods or

Of these snail preserves called "escargoteres. BY
the French, are matters that demand considerable
skin experience and care. Unfortunately there seems
thus far to have been little scientific attention
paid to these subjects. Something has been done
in Baden and Wurtemberg. but much mora sys-

The principal objects to be attained IN the conduct
Of snail preserve are first to keep the snais from

selected preferably on sloping hillside. This is
surrounded by fence composed Of wire netting OF
large mesh The openings must be too wide to af-
ford foothold for the snail to cross them but not
large enough to permit the shell to pass through.
A wooden fence would DO Of no use because the
snails would climb over It easily, and If coated with
