Ambitious Plan Under Way by
Group of New York Bankers
TO SEEK FOREIGN FIELDS
Great Opening for American Capital
Looked For in Russia After War
and at Present in South America

New York, Nov. 23.--Announce-
ment win be made today by the Ma
tional City Bank of the formation of
a $500 900 600 company to develop the
foreign trade Of the United States.
The new company has not been incor-
ported as yet. 1t has not even been
named, but it was referred to yester
day as the international Finance and
Development Corporation. Back Of
it are the most powerful banking in
terests of this country, and the lead
ers in other lines who have been de-
scribed as Captains OF industry"
The new venture was described
yesterday as by far the most ambiti
Gus attempt that has ever been made
to put the United States among the
ranking nations in world commerce
and finance. It's purpose will be to
carry American capital into foreign
fields. and to open the markets of the
world TO American mining and cleo
trical machinery, harvesters, clothing
and foodstuffs.
1t is believed by some Of the promo
ters of the company that a start will
be made in South America, where the
war has greatly embarrassed many
projects which had counted on Euro
pean capital
The greatest field for the new com
pany is looked for in Russia. The
great natural resources of that coun-
try have hardly been touched, and .
with the exhaustion due 10 the war, it
is not thought likely that Russian
capital will be found to open the
mines and build the railroads that are
needed. 1t is planned to get conces-
sions under agreement to spend large
sums in development work and to fl
nance these in the United States. In
this way great market will be op-
ened for machinery and mill pro
ducts.

HATCHERY AT VERNON
Commissioner Titcomb Arranges for
Rearing Station

John w. Titeomb of Lyndonville,
state fish and game commissioner.
completed negotiations last week for
trout-Tearing station in Vernon by
securing options on Cold brook in
that town sufficient TO enable the
state to place 80 or 40 tanks, large
enough to raise something like 100,-
600 trout from the fry to the finger
ling stage The fishing license fees
which were put on this year contem-
plated the raising Of money which
could be used by the state fish and
game commissioner in establishing
rearing stations in nearly every
county in the state in order that
trout which had been hatched at the
main plant at Roxbury could be rear
ed in the county where they would
later be distributed from the fry to
the fngerling stage.
Commissioner Titcomb while in
Brattleboro also stated that he would
like to find a location in Windham
county which could eventually be de
veloped into a branch hatchery but
that. he did not feel that the Cold
brook location in Vernon met the re-
quirement5 Of the Matching station, al
though it was the most suitable place
that he had been able to locate for a
rearing sation. 1t has been generally
known that several places in the
county have been looked over during
the past summer with an idea of find.
ing the most feasible place for the
rearing sation, some of the places be-
ing up the West river valley near the
West River railroad. The sportsmen
of Windham county are much interest
ed in the developments Of the Vernon
proposition, and hope that a Matching
station will eventually be located in
the county, as they feel that this
would furnish much more fingerlings
to be put into the trout brooks of
Windham county.

WORRYING TEUTORS

London, Nov 23-No definite news
has been received here of Greece's re-
ply TO the Entente Allies demands for
guarantees for the safety of the Anglo
French forces landed at Saloniki or
for that of the Serbians who might
be forced over the Greek frontier.
One dispatch from Athens, however,
says that the Greek cabinet is dispos-
ed to accept the conditions laid down
by the entente powers, except that
condition requiring Greece TO partici-
pate in the war, and a solution Of the
whole difficulty may be expected i'm
mediateIy.
Meantime the blockade of Greece
commerce has commenced, and Italy,
it is reported, is participating in the
measures of restraint decided upon.
The news that the Serbians have
won an important victory over the
Bulgarians near Leskovac, on the
Nish-Salonica Railroad, twenty-five
miles south of Nish, is corroborated

message says that after battle of
several days, in which the Bulgarians
suffered enormous losses, the rem

Other news from the seat of war
is that the Bulgarians have delayed
their march on Monastir and that the

her continued neutrality, and also are
offering her concessions if she inter
venes in the war on the side of the

Noble, Ont, Nov 23--An explosion,
which is attributed by officials to alien
enemies, occurred here last night IN

HORRIBLY MUTlLATED
Both Legs Crushed and One Arm Cut
Of;

Of
Burlington, Nov. 21-After lying six
hours in a ditch few rods from the
North Hero station with both legs
crushed above the ankles and his
right arm crushed at the elbow as a
result of fall between the cars of
train upon which lie was riding,
Frank Burns, an itinerant bridge build
er. was brought to this city today.
His name is on the dangerous list at
the Mary Fletcher hospital
The story of Burns experience is
shocking one. He was stealing
ride to this city, where he hoped to
obtain employment, when he fell
from his place between the cars. He
lost consciousness for a few moments
but says he recovered his senses in
time to see the tail-light of the train
disappear around bend
He made futile effort to gain his
feet and realizing the impossibility
of this, dragged himself to the side of
the railroad embankment and allowed
himself to roll into ditch which was
tiiled with several inches OF water
The accident occurred at / o'clock
this morning and in this pitiable
plight he remained for six hours. At
Z o'clock this morning Elmer Craft
of North Hero heard his cries and
found him.
Burns was carried to the station and
DR. Branch was summoned. The doc
tor found that instant action was ne
cessary and amputated the right arm
at the elbow without administering
an anasthetic. Burns was fully con-
scious during the operation but gave
no indication of pain.

While Persia is neutral, the Isla-

SLAMS in north Persia is due to the
fact that they are seeking territory
to compensate them for their losses
in Europe. Persia's relations with
Turkey are friendly A strong. feel
ing against the Russians exists in
north Persia and against the British
in south Persia, since these nations
assume the right to exercise a guard
ianship over the Persian government
and people. But the Russians and
British are Persias neighbors and are
very strong, while Germany. unfortu-
nately, is far away Therefore it is

Saturday and Sunday nights. SO
watch was kept Saturday night, and
tie police have two witnesses who
say they saw Boyden operating the
fishhook game. Boyden has quite a
reputation as pascatorial fisherman,

news to his friends. He is claimed
to have scattered grain from the
neighbors' coops to his house and
among them TO have placed small
hook, carrying a kernel of corn. When
the chickens swallow the hook, line
and sinker, it is alleged that his meth
ed was to haul it into the house

Berlin, Nov 23.-It is reported
