APPEAL FOR DANBURY HATTERs.
All Union Men Are Urged to Contribute
One Hours Wages.

In accordance with instructions from
the San Francisco convention OF the
American Federation OF Labor. the ex-
ecutiye council of that organization has
sent an appeal to all international and
national unions, to all local unions and
to state, county and central bodies to
contribute "their earnings for the second
hour of any shift worked on Thursday,
Jan. 27, 1916, to the relief OF their fell
workers the aged Danbury hatters"
who are forced to satisfy Judgment Of
over 100000 in case brought by ID. E.
Loewe & Co.
The appeal has been sent to the Yer
mont branch of the American Federation
of Labor and distributed to the various
locals. 1t says; The Danbury matters
did not falter In that which they did
for the benefit Of all organized labor and
for all Of the workers OF the country.
They did their duty; they made the test
and upon them has fallen the conse-
quences of the injustice of then existing
conditions. All other workers partici-
pate in the benefits which have grown
out of their struggle, and it is but just
that they should also help to relieve the
victims. If the Danbury hatters or the
hatters' organization We're left to bear
the full weight of the burden, it will |
mean to them great suffering and great !
hardship. Every member of organized |
labor il urged to do his duty in this mat
ter and to bear his share in the common /
struggle to establish Industrial Justice /
To that end members of local unions
ire asked to pay their contributions to
their local secretaries. who, in turn, win
send the same to the secretary of the
A. f. Of L.

DOUBLE ATTACK
ON NANCY, FRANCE
Long Range German Guns Poured in
Their Shells and Aeroplanes Dropped
Two Persons We're Injured.

Paris, Jan. 22.-The city of Nancy was
again bombarded yesterday morning by
long range German guns and yesterday
afternoon a number of bombs were
dropped from German aeroplanes. The
damage from the bombardment was in
considerable and only two persons were
wounded, while the aeroplane attack IS
reported to have been without result.
1t was reported in Paris on January
s that during the three preceding days
six persons were killed and ten were
wounded in Nancy as the result of the
bombardment of the city by German l5-
inch guns. Alarming rumors circulated
as to the havoc caused by the lombard
ment and consequent panic among the
inhabitants, but the prefeet of the de-
partment issued circular discrediting
the rumors.

10 AERoPLANEs LOST IN A MONTH.
British Sustained Serious Setback, 1t Is
Admitted

| London, Jan. 25.-Harold j. Tenant,
parliamentary aersecretary for war,
announced in the House of Commons
yesterday afternoon that in the course of
the last four weeks 10 British aeropanes
were lost on the western front and nine
or ten German machines brought to the
ground.
The proposal was made in the House
of Commons yesterday that all the mem
bers of the House visit the front during
the parliamentary recess and that ar
rangements be made for their reception
by the commanders r-in-chief the idea be-
ing that great benefit would accrue to
the parliamentarans by close contact
with the actual war operations.
Mr.. Tenant, on reply to the sugges-
tion, while not altogether antagonistic,
thought it would prove too big an un-
dertaking and entail too much work for
the general staff, but he promised to see
what could be done, if the members de-
sirous of making the trip would com
municate their names.
Mr.. Tenant supplemented his an
nouncement of the loss in the last four
weeks of Is British aeroplanes. by the
statement that in the same period the
British had employed 1873 machines
while the Germans had used approx
mately 90 The number OF British aero.
planes which had crossed the German |
lines was 1927, while $40 German ma
chimes had crossed the British lines.
Aerial battles, Mr.. Tenant said, had /
occurred over and behind the German
lines and owing to the winds German
if hit planed down to their
own lines, which the British We're un-
lble to do.

NEW PROPOSALS
FROM GERMANY
Has Agreed to Eliminate from Text of
the Agreement Any Mention of the
Warning to People Who Went
Aboard the Lusitania

Washington, d. G., Jan. 25.-Germany
has submitted to the United States
| through Ambassador Won Bernstorff, an.
other written proposal designed to bring
about settlement OF the controversy
over the sinking of the steamship Lusi-
| tania, with loss of more than LOG
American lives.
| Although the greatest secrecy sur
rounds the negotiations, it was stated on
excellent authority that Germany finally
had agreed to eliminate from the text OF
the agreement any mention of the warn
ing issued by the German embassy the
day the Lusitania sailed on her last trip
from New York. Mention OF this warn
ing is understood to have been contained
in the last proposal, which was rejected
after President Wilson had considered it.
1t is understood also that Germany
has left out her proposed general reser-
vation of admission Of wrong doing on
the part of the submarine commander,
to which the United States objected
Mention of the warning is believed to
have been most Objectionable to the ad-
ministration. In effect it was regarded
as conveying the idea tnat no American
lives would have been lost had the warn
ing been needed
1t was also stated authoritatively that
in its latest communication Germany
makes some reference to desire to see
the United States take action in regard
to the questions involving the freedom of
the seas.
The German ambassador and Secre-
tary Lansing probably will confer re-
garding the proposal in the immediate
future
Germany reiterates clearly, il is said.
that the torpedoing of the Lusitania wa
an act of reprisal for the British block
ade of the German coast. Extreme re-
gret again is expressed that Americans
lost their lives in the commission of the
reprisal, and Germany freely offers rep
aration in the form of indemnity. and
attention of the United States is called
TO the fact that such forms of reprisals |
have been discontinued as the result of !
with this government and
to the fact that broad assurances for the |
future have been given.
All discussions considered superhuous /
have been stricken from the proposal.
Consideration OF public opinion in this 4
country and in Germany were said 20 4
have played an important part in the
irafting Of the document. 1t has been
pointed out that German public opinion 4
would not look with approval upon a
iorm of settlement which in any way 4
admitted that. regardless Of the Amer
cans involved, the torpedoing Of the
.usitania was an improper act and which
night reflect upon the commander Of the
Iubmarine, who was acting under in
fructions which have since been modi-
led. In view Of this. Il Is understood
Germany may admit in the final settle /
aent that it was wrong that Americans

CONCLUSION OF
BRAIN FOLLOWED
BLOW IN BASKETBALL
James S. Milne, Jr., of Barre, Injured in
Game at Boston Saturday Night,
Has Not Recovered Con-
sciousness.

Boston, Jan. 25.-Injuries received by
James S. Milne, jr., OF Barre, VT, of the
College of Business Administration of
Boston university in Saturdays basket
ball game with the Tufts freshmen, have
developed into coneussion of the brain.
He has been unconscious since Saturday
night and is not expected to live through
to-day. Early in the game he was
thrown against wooden upright. He
did not seem to be seriously injured,
however, and watched the rest OF the
game. In the evening he complained of
feeling sick, and soon after reaching his
boarding place in Brookline became un
conscious.
II is reported that the unexpected turn
in the apparently slight injuries of Milne
may cause basketball to be taboo at
Boston university. The sport has never
been officially recognized at Tufts, ow-
ing to its rough nature.
