tral whose books have wide circula-
ton in Scandinavia. This man, who
wishes to remain anonymous, has re
turned from several months spent in
Germany, and especially in Berlin
Hamburg and Munich. He is writing
a book of his impressions, and below
is the gist of them
You have no idea of the hatred
and the fear-Germans have toward
England. Remember, fear as we'll as
hatred. Having accused England of
starting the war, they now accuse her
of wishing to carry it on to q decisive
end The Germans know we'll the Eng
fish, their failings and their virtues
Above all, they know their cool and
determined perseverance. If the Allies
can continue the war only through
| 1916 the Germans hope to win
The English blockade has done far
more than Germans admit abroad,
while the attempted blockade of Eng
| lish ports by German submarines Is an
Acknowledged failure in Germany. The
English have sunk so or 10 submarines
in the North Sea and are running
Germany 5 trade with Sweden.
= With the Balkan campaign Ger
many tries to smash the blockade, but
even getting into Asia will never give
her the sea. And the Germans know
that by the sea this war will be won
in 1917. In 1916 Germany may yet
hope to win by land Therefore the
Germans prepare a huge attack in
Flanders to reach Calais and an expedl-
ton against Egypt.

is bad humored Germans are now

Germany for the French and Russian
fronts because they will be wanted
for the Egyptian campaign.
The ever-lengthening German front
is the more dangerous because the
Allies are ever meeting it. Russia
can have 100000 or 10000 men
under arms by spring. Only France
has put all her available men under
arms. England and Italy have large
human resources yet.
Take finances; at first the Allies
moderated Germany s financial re
sources; now they overrate them.
Food is both dear and scarce. The
Germans have not enough fatty foods
to sustain their strength. The state
railways syndicate reported to the gov
eminent that their best men have lost
weight and strength, and therefore
working power, since the war began,
owing to scanty nourishment. Even
rabbits-domestic ones-have been reg
istered by the State. There are milk
tickets now in many cities. Holland
sends in huge quantities of acorns;
first the fannie acid is extracted from
them, then they make bread of them.
Tallow is eaten instead Of butter. No
wonder the Germans are bad tempered
There Is enormous speculation in
! food. But the government dare not
| irritate the agrarian and rich land
owning classes. The government has
not even ventured to tax them on their
war profits And this proves to me
the weak part of that much Wanted

BRISTOL, England, Jan. 27.-The
British labor conference by a great
majority yesterday reversed its form
er attitude regarding the war by
adopting resolution pledging the
conference to assist the government
SO far as possible i'll the successful
prosecution of the war.
1t could be seer Immediately the
conference began that a large body OF
opinion favored supporting the gov
eminent and when 600.0 miners
threw Q unanimous vote into the bal

the success of the patriotic resolution
was certain.
British organized labor on the first
day Of a conference which has at
tracted worldwide attention, outvoted
the extreme Socialist anti-war section
and adopted two resolutions express
ing the patriotic resolve to carry the
war through
James Ramsay Macdonald, Socialist
and Labor member of Parliament for
Leicester and Philip Snowden, Social
! list member for Blackburn, by the
power of their eloqueucc tried to per
suade the delegates to vote against the
motions, but when requested to define
/ their position clearly made evasion.
and were unable TO convince the con
! ference.
/ One representative of the Socialist
section, when asked to state the term.
ON which the Socialists would have

He immediately lost his hold on tn.
delegates, who were overwhelming,
in the opposing camp.
The conference was most represen "a
tive. \ large section Of labor an,

SHERIFFssMANN ON
SEARCH AND SEIZURE
Gives Comprehensive Paper Today Be
fore Vermont Association of
Sheriffs in Burlington.
Especial to The Reformer.)
BURLINGTON, Jan. q


Sheriff Clifford E. Mann of Brattle- /
boro, sheriff for Windham county, gave |
an interesting and comprehensive pa !
per on Search and Seizure today in
meeting of the Vermont Association of |
Sheritfs in this city.
He spoke of the numerous reforms
which have been effected since the
early days when kings claimed the
right TO search and seize property
without authority Of law, and said that
the article in the constitution of Yer
mont which declared that persons had
a right to hold themselves and their
possessions free from search and seiZ-
IRE unless on warrants having suiii-
Client Foundation stands today prac-
ticaIlv as first written.
This constitutional guaranty does not
prevent the search of person legally
arrested on a criminal charge, and II
evidence is found il may be seized
Without violating his constitutional
right.
d. To search in the night satisfactory
evidence must be brought before two
justices i'm order to secure warrant.
For n search in the day time one JUS
tee NAV issue a search warrant.
| The most important duties which an
officer has to perform IN connection
i with search and seizure rests in the
+ execution of the law in relation to in
toxicating liquors. An officer may ar
rest person whom he finds in the act
of unlawfulIv selling or transporting
such liquors, but to Justify him in
searching for liquor in dwelling
house he must have a warrant. He
may search without a warrant if he
has information that liquors are being
kent with intent to sell in tent,
/ shantv. hut or place Of any kind Tor
/ selling refreshments in a public place
on or near the grounds of cattle
show. muster or public occasion OF any
kind.
There are many other things for
which an officer may search, for IN
stance, where dead bodies have been
disinterred, and in connection with the
execution of the fish and game laws.
Some uncertainties exist as to the
limitations of sheriff in regard to
searches, especially in connection with
the fish and game laws. . 1t IS always
better" said Sheriff Mann, ''for an
officer to be backed by some warrant
for his acts and then follow fully the
directions contained in that warrant. IN
that way 'he protects himself, protects
his boudsman, and in the case Of Z
deputy sheriff protect his principal.
