and that these afford only a
rough kind of indication of the
extent of the use of the materi-
al. Calculations, however. have
been made and it is perhaps
likely that they are under rath-
er than over the mark. 1t is
believed that just before the
outbreak of the European war
the material furnished by the
information Office appeared each
month on approximately 300.-
100000 printed pages. At the
close of the last fiscal year. just
about twelve months after the
information service had been
established. the division of pub

ENTIRELY TOO ACTIVE
TO SUIT WASHINGTON
Said To Be Reply By Secretary Lansing
on German Request for Reasons
Why Boy-ed and Won Papen
Are Not Desired.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 7.-Secretar!
of State Lansing has replied to German,
that the American government'ssreques
for the withdrawal of Capts. Boy-ed anc
Won Papen was entirely because OF theil
military and naval activities. Secretary
Lansings reply was delivered in long
communication which the German EN-
bassy Immediately forwarded to Berlin
officials OF the embassy declined to COM
meht upon it.
President Wilson has fully approved
Secretary Lansing's decision, and it was
said authoritatively to-day that it viii
be adhered to no matter what Germany
does. One reason the government will
not furnish Germany with the specific
reasons for the request for the recalls is
its determination to keep secret the
sources of its information. Reports in
yolving other men in this country are
under investigation and these the gov
ernment does not desire TO disclose until
ready to take further action.

MOTHER JONES VISIT POSTPONED.
miners Angel Cannot Visit Barre Until
December IS.

Circumstances have combined to pre-.
vent Mother Jones from coming to Barre
this week But Mrs. Jones, who is known
better by many people as the miners
angel, has promised to come 70 Barre
next week and among her staunch adj
mirers here this promise has injected a
good bit of sunshine where deep gloom
prevailed when il was first noised about
that she had cancelled her speaking en-.
gagement in the opera house Wednes-
day evening. The following telegram re-
ceiyed last night by Secretary Silvio L.
Cardi of the Central Labor union of Barre
and vicinity, is self-explanatory:
"Mr. :. l.. Card, james street, Barre
VT, Dec. 9, 1915.
Impossible for me 10 leave Indianap-
oils this week. Regret very much my
inability to iii engagement at Barre on
the sth. Would appreciate postponement
until 18th. Mother Jones'"
So IL happens that the local commit
tee Of arrangements has decided to post
poae the mass meeting until Dec. Is, in
conformity with Mother Jones wishes.
In statement made to- The Times TO-
day, Secretary Cardi said. The mem
hers Of the committee regret very much
that the mass meeting had 10 be- post
poncd. but hope the public vii bide
with us and turn out in full force TO
hear Mother Jones on the l5th.'

SERIOUS BLOW TO VILLAGE.
East Middlebury Lost Wood Novelties
Co. Plant by Fire.

Middlebury, Dec. r. The plant of the
]. B. Bryant Manufacturing company
at East Middlebury, five miles from this
village, was destroyed by fire yester-
day. causing loss estimated at $4,000,
partially covered by insurance. The plant
employed 25 men, The company makes
wood novelties.
The employers were at dinner when
the fire broke out, but it was caused. it
is thought, by a hot-box. The Middle
bury fire department was summoned and
with the aid of the chemical and buck
ct brigade formed by villagers managed
to save large amount of lumber piled
near the building and dry house.
The mill, which was built in 1871, and
since considerably added to. was owned
by Austin Peck and leased by Mr.. Bry-
ant, who owned the machinery, valued
at $1,000. A private electric plant to
furnish power for the mill and lights
for his home was valued at 81 900 by
Mr.. Bryant. Orders amounting to $500
were ready to be shipped to-day and
enough orders had been received TO keep
the mill running until next May, with
good prospects of business afterwards.
Mr.. Bryant carried insurance of $500
on the building.
The company was the only large in
iustry in the little village and is big
oss to the community.

To-DAY'S WAR REPORTS.

German participation on a large
scale in the Mesopotamia campaign
is probable, according to reports
reaching Switzerland. The nam
ing Of Field Marshal Won Der Goltz
as commander of the Turkish
forces in Mesopotamia is comment
ed upon in this connection. In
some quarters II is sumised that
the German efforts against the
British in the east may be directed
toward the Persian gulf rather
than the Suez canal, as has been
hinted.
A general war council of entente
allies is being continued in Paris
under the presidency of General
Joffre, the French commander-in-
chief.
Distrust Of Greece continues to
be expressed by the press of the
entente powers, notably by the
French and the Italian newspapers.
More vigorous measures to induce
Greece to comply with the allied
demands~is again being urged.
According to reports through
Holland, the German lines in
France and Belgium have been
heavily reinforced within the past
fortnight but it is not known
whether this move is made in view
of possible attack by the entente
allies or for German offensive
movement. The only activities on
the French front reported by Paris
to-day comprised rather lively can
nonading in Champagne and local
engagements near Saint Souple.

GIRL STRIKERS HURL
KIND WORDS AT FOE
Hoots and ScoWls Displaced in
Fight of Straw Workers for
Minimum Wage.

Moral suasion for strike breakers is
the issue at stake in the closing hours
of the millinery strike. For four
weeks spring millinery has ianguished
in the stockrooms OF the East side
while 700 STRAW girl" pickets stuck
out their tongues and hooted at those
who were filling their places.
Mother Bloor" introduced the slo-
gan. Speak kindly &c the scabs. They
do not know what they do Mother
Bloor" Ella Reeve is the socialist
sufragist-trade unionist wto has led
the straw girls in their winter cam
paign against the bosses. She has
watched over the lines Of girl pickets
during the long, discouraging weeks.
Mother Bloor is right said one
Of the girls last night. we wasn't all
born learned. used TO be scab my
self. These American girls never
heard about trade unions. so they don I
know what il means when they take
strikers job. Last night | met two
girl scabs. and instead of calling them
names took them by the arm and
walked along, explaining about the
union. They began to cry. The next
thing | had them up in the rooms and
they had joined the union"
The straw girls are striking for
minimum wage Of 20 cents an hour.
In the good old days an expert straw
worker could make as much as $50
week, but the wages have been falling
of for the last two years. Now the
experts cannot earn more than IS or
$40.
A meeting was held last night al
Beethoven Hall, 2l0 Fifth Street, TO
listen to the peace proposition Of the
bosses and to formulate policy for
the proper behavior OF girl straw
workers toward the stri breakers.
