WASHINGTON IS
ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Considering Steps to Be Taken on English and
French Attempts to Cut Off. Trade Germany
Has in the Main Accepted Proposals Reports
from BattIefeIdS Disagree

Washington is considering today
what steps shall be taken by this
country following the announcement
by British ana French governments
that they would attempt to cut off
trade to and from Germany. Great
Britain s reply to the American pro
posals respecting this general situation
is vet to he received.
Germany has accepted the proposals
in the main in a reply which probably
win be made public in Berlin today.
OF the land themost important opera
tions are along the East Prussian from
tier, in northern Poland and in Cham
pagne on the extreme front. Concern
ing the latter engagement French and
German reports disagree. Berlin states
the allies have been driven back, while
Paris claims the French have repulsed
Germany $ counter attacks and gained
more ground.
In Poland the Russians are on the
offensive along the entire front. In the
Przasnysz the Germans are said tC
have been defeated decisiveIy anC
forced back across the border.
The French and German official com
muuications today agree that violent fight
ing is under way in the Champagne re
gion, where the allies began an attacl
several days ago, and that the losses
have been unusually heavy.
Berlin announces that new French at
taclls. made with strong forces, were re
PEELED in most cases and that the Frencl
losses were enormous The Paris state
mont claims progress for the allies at sev
eral points, and asserts the Germans sui

MEXICAN GUNBOAT
BLOWN UP BY BOMB
Barrel of Rice Sent Aboard Progresso
Was in Reality a Bomb-30
Killed, 127 Rescued.

GALVESTON, Texas, March > -
Thirty Mexicans, including five wo-
men, were killed Sunday in the harbor
of ProgresO, Hucatan, when the gun
boat Progreso was blown up by bombs
sent aboard by ruse.
This report came well authenticated
to Galveston, but it has not been off
ciallv confirmed. The Mexican consu-
late is exchanging cablegrams with
Vera Cruz, but has obtained no definite
answer.
According to the information receiv.
ed here, a large package of high explo
sives, with a time attachment, was sent
laboard the gunboat under the guise OF
supplies 1t is said that what pur
ported to be barrel of rice sent OF
board was in reality a bomb prepared
by persons opposed to the Carranza re
gime.
The Progreso had been used by th'
! Carranzistas in transporting troops ant
supplies between Vera Cruz and Yuca
! tan.
New York officials of the Ward lin
said that they had received advice
! by cable from the captain of the Moi
ro Castle indicating that there ha,
been an accident at Progreso, but no
setting forth its nature. The Morr
Castle, it was said, had left Progress
for Vera Cruz after unloading only
Ipart of the freight consigned to Pre-
lgreso.
The message said, according to
| representative of the line, that til
Moro Castle had taken aboard~ Il
"rescued men at Progreso. The gul
boat Progreso was not mentioned. A
parently the messages had been cel
sored, it was said. They had been cl
and garbled so as to be almost Who'll
unintelligible.

The candidates for the Office of postmas-
ter at Brattleboro. Maj. r. W Childs
and NJ. j. Moran, have returned to Their
homes, and nobody looks for any action
by the senate at this session of Congress

which Congress viii adjourn.
1t VIII then be incumbent upon the
President to appoint somebody to serve

point one of the candidates or somebody
else remains to be seen. but it Is expected
that either Major Childs or Mr.. Moran
VIII be appointed and that the name of
the appointee will come before the senate
for confirmation when Congress recon
Nenes.
Mr. Moran's friends believe that the

NOBODY HOME SOCIAL
TO ABOUT 25 GUESTS
Joke This Time Not or, Newlyweds-
Invited Guests Braved Cold Blasts
to Find House Dark.
Especial to The Reformer.)


Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Wool, who were
married a short time ago, played a joke
on about p of their friends Saturday
evening. In answer to invitations these
friends went to their home in the
north end of the village. The wind
was blowing gale that evening ana
when the crowd arrived at the house
they found it dark and despite repeat
ed rings at the doorbell there was no
answer. After being chilled through by
the icy blasts from the north they
gave up the idea of being entertainer
and went to their homes. The next
morning it was learned that Mr.. and
Mrs. Wood were at the opera house
Saturday evening enjoying the show
and the joke on their friends. 1t was
also learned that the invitations were
to a Nobody Home = social. 1t is
understood that it will take some time
| for the chill to be removed from the
systems of about "a of the % invited

GREAT INTEREST IN
THE LICENSE VOTE
Bellows Falls Also Has Sharp Contest
in the Election of One School
Director.
Especial to The Reformer.)

BELLOWS FALLS, March >.
Two items of Importance and inter
est are being voted on today in the
annual meeting of the town of Rock
ingham. One is the license question
and the other is 2 contest for election
TO the board of school directors, IN
which DIR. James +. o 'Brien is a can
didate for reelection and Warren L.
Stockwell is a candidate to displace
him on the board.
While it is not expected that Bellows
Falls will vote Eyes, - there is great
interest in the size of the vote that
the friends of license Will poll. A good
amount of quiet work has been going
on under the direction of those who
would like to see barrooms in this
town and the no-license advocates have
been correspondinglv active in oppo-
sition to the license workers. \ no
license meeting was held in the opera
house Sunday evening which was well
attended and DIR. J. II. Blodgett was
| the principal speaker, having as his
subject Commercialism.
The license advocates are using as
their arguments the thTeadbare, state
ment that the taxes from the barrooms
would assist the town and that booze
is necessary in this locality in order
| to attract people from out of town,
They claim that so long as North Wal
pole will be dry after May / that
this town should vote for license.
In order to defeat DIR. o 'Brien il
| his efforts for reelection the friends
of Mr.. Stockwell, who is an employe OF
the American Express company ano
pho has five children in the public
schools. have enlisted the aid of the
women property-holders in the towr
ana more than 100 names of womeI
have been added to the check list. DIR
| o 'Brien has been a member of The
board since 1904, but in a letter to the
Bellows Falls Times last week H. ID
RYDER. who refused re. election las
year after having served % years OF
the board. characterized him as beins
cratic and saying that to hi
knowledge the doctor had not once
visited schoolroOm.
Other articles in the town warran
are not of unusual interest.

REIGN OF TERROR
IS FRUSTRATED
Explosion of Bomb in ST. Patrck'S Cathedral Was
to Be Signal to Anarchists to Page Banks and
Say Wealthy Men Detectives Were Fully Pre-
pared for Bomb ThroWer

NEW YORK, March 2-An attempt
to blow up st. Patrck's cathedral with
bomb early today and the arrest of three
men by detectives, who had been in
formed for months of their activities,
was followed by the announcement at po-
lice headquarters that arrests had frus-
trated an anarchistic plot to kill Andrew
Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, John d.
Rockefeller, jr., and other wealthy men.
The anarchists were to inaugurate in
New York city a reign of terror compar-
able only to the days of the French revo-
luton.

sert, for gangs Of men armed with rifles
to appear in various parts Of the city to
shoot and pillage, the biggest banks Of
New York city were to be blown up and
many wealthy men were to be slain.
The wrecking of the cathedral was to
be the signal for carrying out the elab-
crate program of murder and rioting, the
police assert.
| For months a central office detective
had worked in the inner circle Of the
anarchists, according to the police and
had kept the bureau advised of all plans
and OF every move made by them.
Detective Frank Baldo, assisted in the
manufacture OF the bomb with which the
attempt was made today to blow up the
cathedral.
The detective accompanied the bomb
thrower to the edifce and sat with him
while he lighted the bomb and hurled II
at the altar. Immediately the cathedral
IN which 500 people sat became alive
with detectives whose presence had beer
arranged for
Baldo placed the bomb thrower under
arrest. and detectives in a pew behinc
dashed into the aisle and stamped ont
the fuse.
At police headquarters the prisonel
said he was Frank Abarno, II years old
Soon after he was taken to headquarterr
. detectives arrested Charles Carbone, i
e years old, and charged him with com
y phcity in the plot. When AbaIno en-
e tered the cathedral, his bomb hidden, b
: walked on a stage whose every settiny
