Must Make Sweeping Changes
In Conducting Submarine
! Warfare
SURVIVORS, AFFIDAVITS
REMOVE ALL DOUBTS
Members of House and Senate
Foreign Committees viii
Be Consulted
By Robert ]. Bender.

( United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, April l5-Final touches
were being put on the new American
note to Germany today. Secretary
Lansing is hard at work ON affidavits
from Americans who survived the Sus.
sex disaster. These documents were
forwarded to the state department by
government representatives in Paris
and London. They will be used as
exhibits in connection with the note.
If Lansing finishes his work on them
today he will confer with President
Wilson before night. The executive
will meet members of the house and
senate foreign committees after he has
gone over the note for the last time
with Lansing.
Lansing, it is understood, has agreed
to Senator Stone S suggestion to have
republicans attend these conferences.
Final plans for the meetings are not
decided, however.
1t was indicated that the note would
be on its way to Berlin by Monday.
Affidavits from American survivors
Of the disaster, which arrived By mail
aboard the liner st. Paul, were regarded
as cOnvieting Germany of an unjusti-
fled attack. A conference between
senator Stone and Chairman Flood of
the house foreign committee was
scheduled, at which the ground on
which the present action is being taken
is to be examined and possible eventu-
alities discussed. The proposition of
laying the whole matter before congress
viii also be considered.
1t was understood that the tentative
American note states such a position
that Germany must make sweeping
change in its submarine policy, as in
no other way can it give the assurance
asked.

French Attacks Repnlsed.

Berlin, Apr. l5-French hand grenade
attacks south of Fort Douaumont dur
ing the night proved ineffective, the
war office said French troops unsuc-
cessfully attempted an attack on line
extending from Dead Mans hill to

held the French in their trenches. A
few who reached the German defenss

SICK ON BEAR MEAT.
Barton People Contracted Trichnosis
and are Very Ill.

Orleans, Nov. 2S.-Three very serious
cases of the rare disease, trichinosis, the
germs of which were heretofore known To
exist only in swine and transmitted tc
man by eating pork, not thoroughly
cooked, have developed in this vicinity
but instead of it being caused by eat
ing pork it was transmitted by eating
the meat of bear killed a short time
ago by Mr.. Baldwin of Baldwin's Mill
=. G., one of the victims. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Baldwin are seriously i'll as well as
their son-in law, L. X. Heath of this
place, and Mrs. Heath was taken i'll with
the same disease on Sunday.
Trichnosis is caused by eating meat
which is filled with trichinosis worms
thus getting them into the bowels and
finally into the muscles in which stage
the disease is incurable. In the last for
ty-five years there have been, in the
United States, only nine hundred cases,
or two hundred cases each year, that be.
ing one case to two million people per
year. Twenty per cent of the cases
are fatal. These cases should be a warn
ing to all eating bear meat cooked rare
as the danger is lessened if the meat
is thoroughly cooked.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heath are prominent
people in the place and have the sym
pathy Of the entire community.

VERMONT HIGH FLYERS MET.
Banquet of Aero Club of State Held a
Burlington.

| Burlington, Nov. 2S.-The first annual
meeting of the Aero Club of Vermont
which was organized at Camp Governor
Gates July 6, 1916, was held in the main
dining room of the Hotel Vermont last
evening, following bountifu banquet
which was attended by about 20, includ-
ing members of the club and invited
guests, IA places in the state being rep
resented. When the business meeting
had been adjourned, during which meet
ing the officers elected at the time of or
ganization were elected James Hart
ness OF Springfield, president of the as
sociation, rose as toastmaster to intro
duce several speakers who held the I'M
divided interest of their listeners as they
talked on aeronautics. The meeting was
one of the most enthusiastic which has
been held in this city for some time and
there is no doubt but that the club will
accomplish results in Vermont along pio-
neer lines in aeronautics.
The officers reelected at the business
meeting were as follows: President,
James Hartness of Springfield; vice pres
ident, Adjutant General Lee S. Tillotson
OF st. Albans treasurer, Herbert r. Rob

WALL STREET FOR
PEACE DIPLOMATS
Would Have President Wilson Call Con-
ference of Neutrals-Hope
for Armistice.

Washington, Nov 2S.-Wall street is
anxious" for the war to end, in the
opinion of prominent diplomats here yes
terday.
Gust touch of timidity," over Sc
curities for vast loans plus growing
decrease in munitions contracts, is said
to be responsible for this increasing
financial desire for peace.
The financers are said to fear-not
measurably yet, but sufficiently to stir
them-that their loans may be affected
if Europe tries to pile up more credits
while destroying more lives and prop
|erty.
This spirit was called the "inspiration"
for recent peace talk, notably in New
York, by high official yesterday.
According to this official, those holding
the view that "Wall street is showing
restiveness,' claimed to see encourage
ment in the recent statement in an inter
view of the earl of Derby, British under
secretary of war, that England was will
ing to listen to Germanys peace terms
The present peace agitation, which
diplomats emphasized has its source in
financial circles solely, and will include, ac-
cording to tentative plans, an appeal to
President Wilson, possibly in co-opera
ton with European neutrals, to call a
conference, not primarily to discuss
peace, but merely to define the objects
for which each side in the great war Is
fighting.
The proposals do not include sugges
tion of an armistice, but diplomats here
believe if the suggestion is carried through
to the point of conference of neutrals,
an armistice would be entirely within
bounds.

AMERICAN BANKS WARNED
Not to Tie Up Their Funds in Foreign
Securities.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2s--American
bankers were warned by the federal re.
serve board yesterday to avoid locking
up their funds by purchasing treasury
bills of foreign governments involving
long term obligations. While specifically
disclaimng "any intention of rejecting
upon the financial stability of any ma
| ton" the board advised all investors to
proceed with caution and formally an
nouneed to member banks of the federal
serve system that with the liquid
funds which should be available to Amer
lean merchants, manufacturers and
farmers in danger of being absorbed for
other purposes, it does not regard it in
the interest of the country at this time
that they invest in foreign treasury bills
of this character.
The statement is regarded in official
circles as one of the most important dec
arations by the board since its creation.
Officials would not discuss the question
for publication, but some of them in
formally interpreted the warning as the
reserve boards answer TO the recent pro-
posal of j. p. Morgan & c., British fs-
cal agents in this country, TO have Amer
icdH DhHktTs bNcePI ioiitleh treasury uliiS
of an indefinite total issue, secured by
gold reserve held in Ottawa. Such loans
would be for 90 days, with the privilege
of renewal for five other 90.day periods.
H. P. Dawson of the Morgan firm, was
in Washington recently and conferred
with President Wilson and some mem
bers of the reserve board. II was said
later that he sought to. have banks of
the reserve system authorized to buy
British treasury bills as ii they were
bills of exchange to cover commercial
transactions.
Danger from further importation of
large amounts of gold, the board says in
its statement, will arise only in case the
gold is permitted to become the basis of
undesirable loan expansions and of infa
tion. Emphasis is laid upon the neces-
sity for caution IN putting money into
investments which are short term in
name but which "either by contract or
through force of circumstances may in
the aggregate have to be renewed until
normal conditions return"
