PARISH PRIEST MADE MAYOR OF EOOS AT POINT OF GUN,
 TELLS TERRORS OF POST

I ben in the village; for any discovery
 of concealed arms, for any telephones that mi ght have been hidden, for any luminous signals, etc. I had no choice and have done what I could for my tcompatriots during the period of oc- capation, with two German soldiers at my door with fixed bayonets all the
 time acting as sentine1s.s was un- able to go out more than three times a week, Sundays, Tuesdays and Thurs days, to visit the population, accom- panied by a German interpreter.
 "A short time after the Germans arrived they notified me that a, con tribution of war of 1000 francs had beeen levied upon the town of Loos. Since the population remaining in the town was mostly of the poorer class, I had Ho idea where could raise such sum. We finally decided to make it up from portions of the re- lief allowance made by the director of the mines of Lens to the women of mobilized miners We finisbed pay ing the 1000 francs August 14, 1915.
 During the long months that we
 lived under German domination our life was most difficult; provision be- came rarer and rarer. until at the beginning of May we were on the point
 of dying of hunger. Each person had to live six days on the half of a loaf of bread weighing 3 pounds. The situation was desperate. succeeded in collecting quietly a few bushels of wheat that remained in the neigh boring granarfes, and my parishion- CTS ground it in their coffee mills. We lived on this until the American Re lief Commission finally caIne/to our aid.s Later,I was called to Lens, with the mayors of the different towns Of the region who had arranged to sup Lp1y us with 19O grams of our, sufh- cient to make 250 grams of bread, per day, per head
 Our difficulties, however, were not st an end; as soon as it became known that we had our with which to make
 our inprovised bakery in the farm house of Mademoise1le Petit against the German soldiers. We finally se- cured from the Recommendation a sign
 Civil bakery; entrance prohibited to soldiers.'
 '.D turing the bombardments the worst hours were from 10 o'clock in the morning until noon and from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until sunset. After the intensive bombardment of
 May 8th, we were obliged to remove the bakery to a cellar, where we Hv- l ed practically underground from that 1 time until there began such can nonading as we, who had been within 1 the sound of bursting she1ls a year, had not conceived possible. The sound of that connonading, however, was agreeable to our ears because it
 was not difficult for us to infer from 1 it that the French or British were forcing the attack and that our de- livery was no doubt hear.'

BLACKSMlTHS tN REMINGTON PLANT
 OBJECT TO CUTS
International Vice President Here to Help Adjust Work
 ing Conditions.

At a meeting of the blacksmiths and allied tradesmen of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Co.,, held Sunday afternoon in the Park theatre build ling, it was voted to call strike unless the plan to cut the wages of the bra ziers is dropped
 The entire organization voted to support the braziers.
 Fred c. Bolam, general vicep resi- Fdent of the International Brotherhood of B1acksnaiths and Helpers, came to this city at 2:40 o'clock this afternoon from Boston. He will attempt to pre- vent further trouble by arranging a settlement.
 The braziers have been earning one cent for each operation on a bayonet. As two operations are required, ham mering the pommel and the guard, and the average} good man turns out about 260 bayonets in eight hours, some have been making $5.20 a day. The company, it is asserted, wants to pay the men $2.6o a day for eight hours and wants them to turn out the same number of bayonets.
 The men say they'll refuse. The order is a week old. Conferences with Superintendent ElIingham of the plant have failed of their purpose. President Bo1am of the b1acksmiths will attempt to have a conference with him, this afternoon.
 Sixteen braziers are affected. More than 100 hardeners and straighteners are allied with them.
 The men complain also of the fur naces that have .lbeen placed in their room. They say they're not as good as the ones they had before,, and they're too hot to work with.
 The machinists at the Arms Com pany are complaining of discharges. They will meet Thursday morning to consider the matter.

Mail Increases About
 Nine Pounds a Day on
 Each Postman s Route

An average increase of eight and one-half pounds per day ip the amount of mail carried by each of the 32- carriers at the central postof1ce since March 20, was shown by the recent test that Postmaster Greene held here. In March when the test was made it was found that the car riers were taking out an average of 54 pounds daily. The test of a cou- pie of weeks ago showed that the men are now averaging 6 1-2 pounds daily. As this weight is divided among two, three or four trips, as the case may be, it does not mean that the carriers are overburdened with the increase but it shows, in a different way, how much more mail the postoff1ce is now handling daily than it was a few months ago.

STOCK MARKET
.-@@

New York, Nov. e.-Opening.-The irregular trend which marked yeSter- days dealings on the stock exchange avs again observed at the opening of today's nrarket. Leading issues showed no material changes. Cuban American Sugar made the new record of 174 7-8 on it's six point advance, National Biscuit preferred up four to 125. and Associated Oil two to 5S. American Tobacco fell five to 216. Rails were variable within narrow limits and the entire list soon reacted on moderate pressure!
 Noon.-Losses were generally can celled before the end of the first hour, some of the railways and a few high priced specialties leading the recovery. Texas Company rose 10 1-2 to 215 1-2, Harvester Corporation preferred 1-2 to 106 and Diamond Match extended it's advance to 122. Pressure upon (U. s Steel contributed to another set back, however, which received addi7 tional impetus from, the ruling of the interstate commerce commission against railroad ownership of vessels on the Great Lakes. By midday an- other covering movement was under way. Bonds were lower, particularly international issues.

DISTINGUISHED BASSO WILL SING ROLE OF
 HIGH PRIEST HERE

Marion Green. the well known basso cantante who will appear in the coming concert of the Bridgeport Oratorio society, possesses an equip ment nothing short of remarkable. Given a voice called the equal of any voice on the concert stage today" nausicianship far beyond the average, and interpretative ability of distin- guished quality, he is of that small circle rightly named the "elect.'' With his great range making it possible for him to sing such widely divergent roles as Mephisto and Valentine in Faust the Count in Il Trovatore, and Haydn's Creation, MT. Green has. be- come one of the most widely sought bassos in the Oratorio and concert cid today.
 Among the many engagemen which have. been most successfully fill ed by MT. Green are: Soloist for five tours with Chicago symphony orches- tra, two tours with St. Louis sym

AMERICANS FEAR. NEW ATTACKS BY MEXICO INDIANS

Topolobampe, Mex, Nov. 30.-Car- ranza forces again have opened com munication between Guayamas and HermosiIlo, the capital Of Sonora state, and General Dieguez is endeav- bring to intercept 2,500 Villa troops supposed to be heading through south ern Sonora in attempt to join Gen eral Sanders, the Villa commander in Northern Sinailao according to ad- vices received here today.
 Fear of an attack by Indians on the American settlers caused anxiety. The necessity for maintaining an adequate garrison in the Yaqui valley for the protection of Americans and. other for eIgners and thus possibly avert a mas sacre, is now being strongly presented to General Dieguez in messages by Admiral Winslow, who is proceeding with his flagship, the cruiser San Diego, and an expeditionary force for Nopolobampo. The San Diego was reported last night off Cape San Lu- cas, the southern extremity of lower California. t
 Naval officers who visited Los Mo- chis, the scene of the recent raids, found foreign property in the outlying districts still held by the Indians Carranza officials stated, however, that these lands would be returned to their rightfu1 owners as soon as they had been recovered.\
 Owing to the presence of CarranZa troops in large numbers at Los Mo chls, Americans who had taken refuge on the U. s. Gunboat Annapolis and those who had come for safety to To polobampo have decided to return to their homes at once. I

 Stand By Present Policy
1Continued from Page onel

Though the ,Austro- German and Bulgarian campaign against, Serbia is described by the central powers as finished and though practically the whole of Serbia is in their possession. they have not accomplished, accord ing to the general belief here, the more important aim of entirely crush ing the Serbian army.
 r Though defeated and worn out in the conflict against overwhelming odds, the Serbian forces are said to be still unbroken and undeterred. Either bitter winter weather has re- tarded the central powers in their proposed new enterprise against the Franco British troops in the Stru- rnitza region or the rapidly develop ing Russian menace from the direc- tion of Runaania has caused them to abandon it. In any event, their cam paign has recently come to a stand still
 e Other fronts during the last AS hours have shown generally revived activity. Sir John French, command er-in-chief of the British forces in France and Belgium. reports success full British air attacks on German po- sitions along the Belgian coast and on other parts of the German western front involving destruction of a Ger man submarine off the Belgian coast and raids on an aerodrone. -
 Troops in the Souchez succeeded in driving the Germans from a crater they recently occupied. Varying for tunes have attended various towns in the Mesopotamia district It d~os not appear, however, that there y 5 been serious fighting since the British appeared on the battlefield bat the British troops have again fallen back to the Tigris, having been outnumber- ed by the Turks and are now occupy ing more easily defended positions in the rear of their former line.

Loos-En-Gohelle Pas de Calais France Nov. 30.-Three hundred on- ly of the 5000 inhabitants of Loosen GohelIe were still in the town when the Germans took it in October last year. A hundred of them escaped through the French lines, the rest lived just ten days short of a year un- der foreign domination and under the direct administration of the Abbe Champagne, the parish priest, made mayor in spite of himself by the Ger man Recommendations.
 During all that time the town re- ceived ansaverage of 100 shells a day.
 Loos-en-Gohelle, which should not be confounded with Loos in the department du Nord near Lille, was on thes1fne of the great race between the Germans and the Allies toward the road to Calais and the sea last year The Uh1ans came October 4, followed by four regiments. of the Prussian Guaf1 A battalion of French infantry sent against them four days later was obliged to retire lent fight. The Germans then began to fortify the position and occupied it in force. The Abbe Champagne, who with 200 of his parishioners was liberated by the British troops in the recent battle of Loos, aff1rms that
 
 to shoot seven civilians. among whom were two men 80 years old and one 70; the others were from 32 to440; -Four ct the men were farmers; the reason for their execution was never made. clear, what they did was sim ply this: they went out to feed their cows one night and while doing so were scaught by the German sentinels and held as prisoners until shot. These four were buried in the Rue Huilfuch in graves dug by a miner that the Germans had left all night tied to a tree before forcing him to do the work The two other victims were buried In a ditch in holes dug by the same miner.
 .The majority of the population remaining in Loos at the time were women, children. a few old men and six or seven valid men, besides a doz- en or so of invalids. The. men who were strong enough to work were em- ployed by the Germans in dismount- ing all the machinery of the mines, taking off the copper and loading it upon cars. The moment of their ar rival in Loos the Germans called upon me and demanded at the point of a revolver where the mayor and his assistants were. When told them that all the authoEities of the tpWn had left. they. said:
 ssYou shall be the sole authority here, you shall be mayor
 .I replied, that my religious func- tions in the eyes of French law were incornpatible with municipal respon- sibility They declared that it did not matter and that they should hold me responsible for all that might hap
