dens who were armed with revolvers
used their weapons and in all over a
dozen shots were fred. Warden Hig-
gins is Of the opinion that the three
poachers took part in the fusillade hut
of this he is not positive.
During the afternoon the warden
received word from Deputy Harmon
Odell that two deer had been shot in
the Broad Brook district near the top
of the mountain and just a short dis
tance across the Vermont line.
The warden was unable to leave
Bennington until 4.45 in the after
noon. The sun was behind the
mountain long before the officers
reached the scene of the killing and
the best part of the trip was made in
pitch darkness.
Accompanied by Deputies Odell and
f. c. Dennison. the warden made his
way to the spot where the two deer
had been found AS they neared the
locality the officers endeavored to en-
velop the poachers and prevent their
escape.
Warden Higgins managed to crawl
to within about two rods of the three
poachers who with the aid of re-
fiecting lantern were engaged In
skinning the two deer preparatory TO
taking the venison across the state
line into Massachusetts.
Hearing the approach of the ward
en-, one of the poachers kicked over
the lantern and all three of them
made a break for the brush. Owing
to the darkness they were able to
make their escape.

London, Jan. mo better evidence
of the extraordinary political effect
which the Russian sweep through BL

| OF the Carpathians into Hungary has
had could be found than the announce
ment today that the Bulgarian king
| and the King of Rumania, attended by
their foreign ministers, have arrang.
ed for conference on Rumanian soil,
the subject of which will undoubtedly
be the participation of Rumania in the
European war and the subsequent re-
lations among the Balkan states.
This announcement has been pre-
ceded by intimations that the Ruman.
ian reservists had been notified that
an early call to the colors would be is
sued. Many of the Rumanians who
will fight on the side of the Allies, if
Intervention is decided upon, have
been strongly influenced. it is belive-
ed. during the past few weeks by the
presence along their borders of Rus
sian soldiers of Rumanian blood from
Bessarabia and the Russian provinces
north of Bukowina Reports from the
army invading Bukowina say the Rum
manian inhabitants of the contiguous
territory have conducted themselves
in manner highly indicative of their
partisan feeling. The soldiers be-
lieve public opinion through Ruman-

the Germanic duo.
The bitterness engendered in Bull
garia as sthe result of seizure of Bull
garian territory by Rumania, at the
close of the second Balkan war, has
never abated markedly and the senti-
ment in that country has been regard
ed as somewhat fayoring the Austro-
German alliance, although no open
manifestation of the feeling has been
LESS and the conference between the

Rumania is known TO favor the Al
countries is therefore the cause of
much speculation here. 1t is believd
that Rumania will give assurances to
the Bulgars that will remove present
causes of friction and will ultimately
bring about the formation of new
Balkan federation with decided lean
ings toward the Allies.

Paris, Jan. S-The French commits
sion appointed on September 90 to in
Quire into accusations that German OIL
fcers had acted "savagely and inhu.
manly against French civilians and
soldiers, says in it's report. made pub
lie yesterday by the French cabinet:
I'VE must conclude that there new
er has been a war between civilized
nations of so savage and ferocious a
character as that waged upon our soil
by our implacable adversary Pillage.
ravishing. burning, murder are ordin-
airy practices of our enemies. and
facts collected in many cases prove
that the German claims that the Kill
ling of civilians was due 10 firing of
the population on troops was unfound-
ed
I'VE found proof OF the existance in
the German army not only of syst
ematic plan for burning villages, aut
the possession Of elaborate material
for this purpose, including torches,
grenade, fuel oil sprayers, sticks of
infiammable matter and sacks of tab
let's composed of very infammabIe
powder"
The committee aflirms that 1t has
distinguished carefully between fires
caused by bombardments and those
said to have been set by hand when
no fighting was in progress. 1t is stat
ed that the object was to intimidate
the population, thus spreading terror
and panic ahead of the invaders.
"Rayishing of women aud girls was
so frequent that number of cases es.
tablished was only small part of
those which might have been investig-
ated, the commission says. THE Wet
inns of these odius acts generally re-
fused to testify, because il would com
promise their future.

The cabinet has been withholding
the report of the commission because
it is said it did not desire further o

on the demand of George Clemenc"su
the former premier, and others that
the cabinet decided to make public
the report The conclusions OF the
commission form about 20 newspaper

tances which the commission says
we're established under oath from wit
