AN AM ERlcAN SPY?
Accusation Made by the Germans at
Warsaw

Berlin, Dec 19-Sigried Paul Lon,
don, naturalized American citizen,
has been put in jail at Warsaw and
is awaiting trial on charge of es.
pionage AS the investigation has
not vet been completed, the autbori
ties have been unable to communi,
cate to the American consulate the
full charges against London, which
are understood to involve conspiracy
to convey information to the Rus
slams after the German occupation OF
Warsaw
The authorities are allowing the
American representatives the widest
latitude in assisting London to pre-
pare his defense. The Consul and
Vice Consul are permitted to visit
him freely in his cell, and have been
assured that the indictment will be
shown to them in due time, and that
they will be permitted to attend the
trial
London has been around the lead
ing hotels of Warsaw for years as a
commissionaire and guide. In those
capacities he is known to many Am
erican tourists. During the Russian
revolution London acted as a temper
ary correspondent for several Ameri.
can and British newspapers.

Frozen Bodies of Italians

Berlin, Dec 19.--I3y wireless to Say
vilie-Describing the defense by
Hungarian soldiers of difficult posi-
tions ON the Krn plateau, in the lson-
20 region. 6700 feet above sea level.
the CORRESPONDENT OF the Overseas
News agency who reached the scene
after the receipt of congratulatory
telegram sent by Emperor William
to the Kaischau regiment says
The Hungarians with no sand bags
at their disposal at first took shelter
behind frozen corpses. The whole
plateau was covered with dead ltal-
ians it being impossible to bury the
bodies as the Italians kept up con
tinuous artillery fire The wounded
soldiers persisted as it was impossible
to assist them.
THE Hungarians have been defend
ing the Krn positions for 200 days III
which time lS0 attacks were repulsed
without the Italians gaining the least
success.
"A special read Is miles in length
and nine feet in width was construct
ed by the Hungarians so that provi-
sions and ammunitions could regular
ly arrive. The Austro-Hungarian posi-
tons are provided with stoves and

London, Dec. 21-The British
troops at the Suvia and Anzac dis
trcts of Gallipoli peninsula at the
Dardanelles have been withdrawn.
The following official statement was
issued yesterday: "All the troops at
Suyla and Anzac, together with their
guns and stores have been successful
ly transferred with insignificant
casualties to another sphere of opera
tions
Operations in other sections of the
front on the Gallipoli peninsula than
those from which the troops were an
nounced yesterday to have been with
drawn are to be continued, it is init
mated in an official statement issued
last night The withdrawal was ef-
fected without knowledge Of the move
ment on the part OF the Turks, it is
declared Further details OF the eva
cuation of the Anzac and Sulvia zones
have been received, says the official
statement
Without the Turks being aware of
the movement, great army has been
withdrawn from one of the areas oc-
cupied on the Gallipoli peninsula, al
though in the closest OF contact with
the enemy. BY the contraction Of the
front operations at other points of the
line will be more effectively carried
out. Sir Charles Monro gives great
credit for this skilfully conducted
transfer OF forces TO the generals com
manding and the royal navy
The war office statement leaves the
public to draw its own conclusions as
to the destinations of these Austral-
asian and United Kingdom forces
which must be well over 100000
strong. but it is widely conjectured,
said dispatch from London yester-
day that any southwark sweep of
the Teutonic or Bulgarian armies in
the Balkans, whether from the north,
west or east, will sooner or later come
in contact with them and that the
transfer is connected with a deter
mination on the part of the entente
powers not to remain on the defense
in the near eastern theatre of war
longer than is requisite to assure the
success of a forward march.
Thank God, they are safely out Of
there without serious loss" was an eX
preston frequently heard at London
yesterday in connection with the
transfer of the troops from the Suvla
and Anzac zones to another sphere
Of operations" although this was in
variably coupled with regrets that it
should have been regarded as neces-
sary to eyacute the footholds on the
peninsula, obtained at such heavy

New York. Dec, 21.--Wilhelm Gar.
be of Brooklyn, purser OF the Ameri
can steamer Borinquen, which arriv
ed at New York yesterday, was re
moved from the vessel off the harbor
of San Juan, p r., by officers of the
French cruiser Descartes, according
to the Borinquen's skipper. Accord

directed Garbe to get in. Garbe is
said TO be a German, but to have TAX

THIS CHRIST AS
THE BEST IN
Ten YEARS
Business Beats All Previous Re
cords and Merchants Happy
XMAS CLUBS AID PROSPERITY
One Merchane Claims Larger Days
Receipts Yesterday Than Any
Year in Last Forty

Bennington is the bslrg this year
that is putting the Merry" in Christ
mas" If one wishes authority for the
statement, let him go TO the local
merchants. No need to ask them,
Their smiles tell the story.
Forty thousand dollars released by
the banks in the Christmas clubs
burning bottomless pits in the pockets
of Christmas purchasers and an nn
usual number of outof-towners, COM
bined with the swing Of the business
pedulum the other way after months
of business depression, is speeding up
local trade far beyond previous rec
ords. Cash receipts tell the tale and
cash register bearings are being put
10 the test this week This is not hot
air prosperity. 1t is cold, hard, de-
posting tellers' window fact.
One of the largest merchants In
Bennington made the statement at
the close of business last evening that
his gross receipts TO. the day eX-
ceeded by about IL per cent any gross
amount for single day since he had
been in business.
The main reason for this is the fact
that Bennington's industries have
been running up to limit or nearly
and nearly everyone who wanted
work and was willing to work, has
found a job.
Another factor has been the habit
of thrift fostered by the Christmas
clubs OF the banks. The result has
been that only a portion has actually
been spent fer Christmas and the
balance gone toward the formation OF
a still more enduring bank account
with corresponding financial indepen-
dence and family prosperity.
The civic league do not find so
many cases OF destitution this year as
last. although there are many worthy
charity cases that should and will re-
ceive the attention of those who find
themselves prosperous and in a posi-
tion to give. Only lour more days
remain in which this good work may
be attended to, and all gifts, regard
less of size, will be gratefully receiv-
eG
All the stores are doing larger
business than usual and there are ex-
ira clerks at every store. The shop
early slogan was fairly effective too
and the buying began earlier than
usual.
The merchants are hampered by
the freight blockade and are not gett-
ing some goods that were shipped
several weeks ago. For three weeks
it has been possible to insure delivery
only through ordering by express or
parcel post.
The moving picture houses are do!
ing good business, the postolficeis
crowded during business hours and
the four local banks will make the
best showing in their history in their
reports for Jan. !. 1916.

vile. Sweden has decided to make
an energetic protest to Great Britain
against the stoppage by British au-
thorities in Kirkwall Of the parcel
post service between Sweden and the
United States. The Swedish govern
ment has also ordered all parcels
post from England in transit across
Sweden to be held up indefinitely.
This means the complete stoppage of
the Anglo-Russian parcel post service
until the Swedish protest is needed
The Swedish government, accord
ing to information received here, will
notify the United States of this new
measure The protest is based on
the British action of taking sealed
sacks OF pracel post mail from the
steamer Hellig Olay on her last voy-
age from New York and in removing
the entire parcel post from the out
going steamer Stockholm. formerly
