PARLEY AT HAGUE
IS GERMAN WISH
Conference of Delegates
to Determine ObjeCtiveS
of War Is Aim

Washington, Dec. 13.-Count Won
Bernstorff probably will visit Secre-
tary Lansing in day or two for the
purpose Of seeking some indication Of
the views of the United States on
the German peace proposals. He has
no specific instructions from his gov
ernment on this point and no dispatch
regarding the peace proposals has been
received by the embassy during the
last twenty-four hours. The ambassa-
dor, however. is keeping his govern
ment informed of prevailing opinion
on the question IN America.
In German circles here to-day it is
said that the real aim of the peace pro-
posal is a conference between dele
gates from all the belligerent coun-
tries, with a view to an exchange of
views as to the objects which each
side is fighting for and as to possible
terms of peace.
Such a conference might be held at
The Hague about the middle Of jan
uary.
Count Won Bernstorff said tonight
that peace terms would doubtless not
be discussed either publicly or
through exchange of communications.
He is understood to regard a confer
ence between representatives of the
belligerents as a necessary prelimi-
nary to any discussion of terms.
At least one diplomat representing a
neutral nation in Washington has
planned to ask his government TO au-
thorize him to present in its behalf to
President Wilson assurance of support
in any move designed to secure consid-
Grafton by the Entente Allies Of the
offer to discuss peace. Other repre-
sentatives of neutral nations have SINH
lar action under consideration.
In Teutonic diplomatic quarters 1t
was reiterated tonight that Germany
expects neutrals, especially those in
Europe, TO do everything possible to
bring about at least a discussion of
peace terms. No information regard
ing the intentions of Switzerland and
Spain, the other neutral nations
through which the proposals are being
transmitted, has been received here.

its members have refused 10 take the

steps should be taken in dealing with
the rebellion.
The trouble began several weeks ago,
when Dr. Williams assigned the class a
task 10 be completed in two weeks.
Finding they were unable TO do II

director for a weeks extension. He
granted IL, but said he would consider

WANAMAKER'S YACHT
BURNS AT M00RINGS
Crew Escapes While Nirvana Is
in Flames

John Wanamaker's steam yacht, the
Nirvana, moored at the dock OF the
Marine Basin Company, Hubbard
Street. Bath Beach, was swept by fire
early this morning.
The blaze, of unknown origin, gained
headway so quickly that the crew
sleeping on board the yacht, was bare
ly able to escape.
At the pier near the Nirvans were
several other steam yachts, which
were saved by being towed away from
the dock.
The yacht. it is expected, will be a
total loss.

Mrs. Michael H Ford, the first wo-
man member in the history of the
department, was the first to discover
that the emergency hospital, instead
Of being altogether help to sick and
disabled people, was a germ carrier
and distributor OF diseases. Dr. Thorn
az L ELLIS, the other new member of
the board, said the rooms should be
fumigated twice a month.
The result OF yesterdays meeting is
that the side of the police and chari-
ties building being used by the lat

brush of the srub-woman once a
week, at least, and must be funnf-
gated by the health department off,

GOLD POMESTEAD''
AT LYRIC PLEASES
EVEN AsI OF YORE

Old plays, like old books and old
friends, are the best, according to the
audience that witnessed the production
of '"The Old Homestead by Miss Cecil
Spooner and her own stock company,
at the Lyric theatre last evening.
While newer plays have held their
audiences in tense excitement by their
concentrated action their audience rev
eled in their most up-to-date jokes.
But more ripples of pure merriTnent
or more evidences of hearty approval
have never been accorded a late
Broadway success than were awarded
1.-THE Old Homestead
To the eyes of today the play is al
most crudely constructed, it ambles
along without much general action; it's
characters are almost arpateurish in
their conception and they do not hes
itate to solilequize, thing which is
seldom permitted nowadays. The old
father condemns drink most thorough
ly and addresses the same audience,
advising the parents to be 1enient to
their children and to give them a sec
ond chance. But still it wins favor
such as is seldom accorded more mod
ern plays.
The singing of a quartet behind the
scenes was especially enjoyed. The
singers were Dave, Heaphy, Matt Ly-
man, William Shea and Harry Lee.

of Happy jack, fell to Pell Trenton

while the part of Cy Prime was played
by Darrell Vinton,
Miss Beulah Monroe as Mrs Henry

MIR. r. w. AUSTIN

: Sometime since Il had an attack of
acute indigestion which left me with
a bad stomach. Shortly after eating
my food would ferEent and I would
b1oat up with gas which made it pain
full and very uncomfortable. Nothing
I seemed to eat would agree with me.
I had tried several remedies but could
not. seem to get relief and was getting
discouraged as I know that physical
condition relies on good digestion and
unless had good digestion L could
not be in good shape physically I
investigated Lax-a-Tone and it being
purely a natures product T figured
should get excellent results. tried
this remedy and I heartily fndorse it
to anyone looking for an honest re-
liable remedy.

MlLITlA'S FUTURE
IS UNSETTLED, SAYS
CAPT. FL, DENGLER
Compliments Bridgeporters
on Patriotic Interest in
National Guard.

Capt. F. L. DengIer, U. S. A,
speaking last might to the members
of the Connecticut Coast Artillery
band and their guests at the ANIMAL
banquet in the armory, said no one
could hazard a guess as to whether
or not the pay bill for the organized
militia will be- passed by Congress.
Captain Deng1er is the inspector-in-
structor from the regular army, de-
tailed with the Connecticut Coast Ar
tiIlery corps. He said that with bills
calling for a continental army before
Congress and other members of that
body favoring adjustment, of the or
ganized militia, he thought no one
might predict with any certainty just
what is likely to happen.
Captain Deng1er said he thought it
would be an unwise move to abolish
the militia He said this body COM
prised 1875, 900 men the units Of which
ranged from those who were poorly
equipped and instructed to those who
were as well equipped and instructed
as the regular troops Here, he said,
is the neuclus of an army around
which a large armed force might be
more speedily developed than would
be the case if the militia did not
exist.
Captain Dengler praised the work
of the militia in this and other states
and said its officers and men exhibited
patriotism in the highest degree when
they gave so freely Of their time and
money to cause in which the only
remuneration was the satisfaction of
having performed a duty. In closing,
Captain Dengler complimented the
members of the band on their fine
showing at inspection.
Among the other guests and speak
ers were Col. Henry S. Dorsey of New
London; Iieut.-Col. Vincent M King,

ALMANAC FOR Topaz
STILL COUGHING
AND NO RELIEF?

Why don't you try some
other remedy? Frequent
coughing increases the irri-
tation of the bronchial tubes
and often becomes chronic.
Try Cyrus Cough Specific, it
has relieved others and will
help your cough. It is not
sickening sweet and does not
constipate. It is worth your
trial.
