FIGHT AGAINST OPPRESSION
People OF Eastern Europe Want Help
From U. S.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Causes OF
the various European peoples sub
merged by political or military pow
er were championed today by speak
ers before the conference of op-
pressed or dependent nationalities.
The avowed purpose of the confer.
ence is 20 plan for development of an
American international policy toward
oppressed or dependent nationalities
through their representatives in
America.
The speakers voiced appeals in be-
half of the Albanians, Armenians, Syr
ians. Russian Jews, Croatians, Let's,
Lithuanians, Poles, Ukrainians, Slavs
Bohemians and Firms. Virtually every
representative went into the histori.
cal details of the trials TO which his,
or her particular people had been sub
jected, made a plea for political inde-
pendence and urged that the influence
Of the United States be used at the
conclusion of the war in the interest
OF oppressed humanity.
Speaking for the Poles. DR.. Kasimir
a. Zurawski, Loyola university. CT.
cago, member of the Polish National
Defense committee, assailed Russia
for treatment accorded Poles, declar-
ing that permanent peace. in Europe
is possible only as the result of the
failure of Russian and English imper-
ialism and consequent freedom OF the
nations oppressed by these two pow
ers."
DR.. Zurash gave as his opinion
neutral nations will have very little
if any influence on the peace negotia-
tions unless they are prepared to de-
fend by force international agree
ments."
He assailed Great Britain and Rus
sia for opposing the desire of Ameri-
ca to give aid to starving Poland on
the ground that the Germans were
requisitioning foodstuifs there" say
ing that the same governments free
ly permit the importation of food
from America into northern France.

are being made there" The object
of the Polish nation, he added is to
unite into one Polish state all of its
parts"

ca could not solve the problems OF
the Krainians and that they must be

RAISING eLADloLI BULBS
Good Crop Secured at Famous cowee
Farm at Berlin.

Assemblyman Cowee of Berlin is a
firm believer in free trade--for the
other fellow. AS everybody knows he
is one of the largest growers of gla-
dioli in the United States, and his
pretty farm at Berlin is famous the
world over. Under protective tar
iff 1t was his custom to increase an
nually the acreage devoted to the cul-
twe of his pretty product, but this
year he does not intend doing so: he
has enough just as present.
Fortunately for me-, he said, "the
year has been a fine one for this
part OF the country and bad one for
Holland and for the West. where ex-
tensive gladioli farms are located, and
| expect to do large business in
bulbs. The cut-flower trade is small
and does not count. The bulk of my
business is in the sale of bulbs. At
present, under the no-duty policy of
our government, Holland can dump
her goods in on this country ad lib.
We can compete with them easily as
far as natural conditions are con-
cerned, for our ground is more fertile
but we are entirely outclassed when
it comes to the matter of labor. How
can you meet competition when you
have to pay from SO to SIS week for
labor and it is very scarce at that,
when Hollands highest-priced work
men receive only $3.50 at the most?
The average is $3.50. believe in
protection. but only protection
which will equalize labor conditions
The West is a strong competitor, but
our soil is better adapted to the cul-
ture of gladioli, and We are about
equal as regards the price Of labor"
Mr.. Cowee related narrow escape
that he had from big crop damage.
Just previous to the last cold snap he
had completely harvested his crop Of
bulbs and housed them. Otherwise he
would not have been able to have got
ten the bulbs out of the ground for
some time. and then all of the bulbs
would have been wet and soggy. THE
damage would not, however, have
been as great as it might otherwise
have been. as we harvest our most ex-
pensive stock first; the cheaper
grades afterward, but still the loss
would have been considerable" Mr..
Cowee confidently looks forward to
a good year this coming season.

MAY Be ENTERING
WEDGE IS HOPE Of
WASHINGTON
Little Expectation Terms as Pro-
posed Will Be Accepted
PROBLEM FOR PRESIDENT
Majority Opinion Of Congress Opposed
to Active Participation at
Present Time.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Out of the
gloom caused by the continuance of
the devastating war in Europe has
come the first real ray Of hope in the
peace proposals made to-day in the
Reichstag by Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, and communicated
through neutral Governments to the
enemies of the Central Powers.
Regardless of whether or not Ger
many's proposal is acceptable-an
nobody believes it will be in its pres
ent form-the feeling in official cir
cles in Washington is one of hope
that this may be the entering wedge
for discussion of peace. 1t is realized
that this is a matter for the Presi-
dent solely to deal with Not until
he knows the exact nature of the COM
munication can he decide upon the
course to follow in what is generally
recognized as an extremely delicate
situation. The only statement forth
coming tonight from the White House
was that the President was giving
the most serious consideration to the
method to be pursued.
AS to the wisdom and property of
any action by this Government beyond
that of merely forwarding the German
proposal, the opinion of members of
Congress is divided. The preponder-
ance of sentiment, if anything. ap-
pears to be against it. The general
disposition of members OF the Foreign
Relations Committees of both houses
was to look upon the peace proposal,
as reported in press dispatches, as
PROBABLY fruitless. Some senators
were of the opinion that any move by
the President at this time would be
III advised Others, however, believed
that the President would be justified
and pointed to the action taken by
President Roosevelt and the results
the flowed from it.

portance were occupied today by the
Teutonic forces in their sweep
through Great Wallachia, Rumanias s
richest province. Mill, on the rail
way line between Ploschti and Buzeu,
forty-three miles northeast of Bu'
charest, and Urziecheni twenty miles
southeast of Mill, were captured by
the Austro-G Germans, according TO the
Berlin official statement.
The German report says also that
the Ninth Army, which wrested these
towns from their defenders, has taken
more than 10000 Rumanians prison
ers in the last three days, together
with several cannon and quantities of
field material.
To all appearances the Rumanians
are manoeuvring their forces as best
they can in the face of tremendous
opposition, with a view to taking up a
defensive line along the Buzeu River,
near the southern boundary OF Molda-
via, their northern province. Reports
regarding the operations in this sector
are not in entire agreement. De
patches from Petrograd fail to
confirm all the Berlin statement, but
the most optimistic of the depatches
indicate that the movements of the
Rumanians are being made under the
heaviest pressure.

KID RoscH LOCATED HERE
Featherweight Boxer Hopes to Put on
Bouts In Bennington.

George kid Rosch, the scrappy
featherweight boxer, who has been
one of the star. performers at the
bouts held by the Western Gateway
Athletic club of North Adams in re-
cent years and who has been seen
in action at the Canadian club rooms
here on several occasions, is now To-
Gated in Bennington.
Rosch has been boxing for six
years and during that period has ap-
peared in the squared circle on no
less than 49 different occasions. Dur
ing the early portion of his ring ca
reer his bookings were in the prelimi-
nary classes but in recent years he
has been in the main attraction. In
the 40 bouts he has been awarded a
draw, been given the decision or has
disposed of his opponent by the X. O.
route In all but four. A sprained
ankle lost him one decision to Young
Josie, a North Adams boxer who is
well-lnown in Benningtone. He was
beaten early in his career by Kid
Shea at New Haven and lost bout
to Joe Morgan at Manchester, N. H.,
in April, 1914 but the only boxer
who succeeded in putting him away
with the sleep wallop was Pete Hart

Young Men and Young Girls Admit
Breaking into Woodford Camp.


Breaking into Woodford Camp.
The local police did not experience
much difficulty in putting their hands
on the vandals who broke into Miss
Harriet Twitchelrs cottage at Wood
ford Hollow last Saturday night and
wrecked the interior of the building.
By making inquiries the officers
learned that two couples, two we'll
known young men and two girls less
than 20 years of age secured a horse
and wagon on Saturday and the rest
was comparatively easy. All four at
first denied that they were guilty but
when confronted with the evidence.
some of which consisted of chicken
feathers stripped from the birds
which went into the banquet at the
camp, they owned up and made a
full confession.
Inasmuch as Miss Twitchell is not
anxious that criminal proceedings be
brought against the quartet, provided
a settlement is made for the damage.
the alleged culprits, may not be
brought into court. If they escape
without being prosecuted they will
have reason to consider themselves
lucky. 1t is believed that had there
not been more or less liquor used at
the camp the destruction of property
would not have occurred.

the featherweight championship. He
is exceptionally fast on his feet, has
q wicked punch in both hands with
the strength to carry it through and
is a clever boxer. A badly sprained
ankle kept him out of the game when
he needed the experience and training
but the more serious drawback was a
broken jaw received when he boxed
Hoinz Orchard, the champion of the
United States navy at Newport, r. l..
The blow which broke Rosch's jaw
was delivered in the opening round
but the little scrapper remained in
the ring and was awarded a draw by
the referee
Several years ago when Young"
Gotch, the English light weight
wrestler held number of exhibitions
at the rooms of the Canadian club,
Rosch was put on in number of
preliminary four.round bouts in which
he was conceded to have had the bet
ter of his opponents. He boxed here
with Young Josie of North Adams
and Kid Black of New York. No de-
cision was given but in the second
bout, Rosch was by far the better
man. His last appearance here was
when he disposed of Battling Johnson
of Albany In four rounds.
Since coming to Bennington Rosch
has been working out OF doors and is
in good condition He would require
but little training to fit him for the
ring. Any ambitious featherweight
who is anxious to make match will
find him both ready and willing.
