Now when the time Of fruit ana grain
is come,
When apples hang over the orchard
wall,
And from a tangie by the roadside
stream
A scent Of wild grapes fills the racy
air,
Comes autumn with her sunburnt car
avian,
Like a long gypsy train with trappings
gay
And tattered colors Of the orient,
Moving slow-fOoted through the
dreamy hills,
The woods of Wilton, at her coming
Wear lnts of Bokhara and of Samar-
Cand,
The naples grow with their Pompeian
red,
The hickories with burnt Etruscan
gold;
Ana While the crlckets fife along her
march,
Behind her banners burns the crimson
sun.

AUSTRIA OBJECTS TO
THE MOUNTED GUNS
Wants to Know What United States Is
Going to Do About Italian
Ship in New York.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-Baron Erich
n Zwiedinek, charge of the Austro-Hun-
garian embassy, today asked the state de-
partment what the United States intended
to do in the case of the Italian steamship
Verona, which arrived in New York sew
cral days ago with two guns mounted at
her stern.
The inquiry was the same as that made
by Baron Zwiedinek in the case of the Ital-
ian steamer Giuseppe Verdi, which reached
New York with two guns mounted aft. The
Giuseppe Verdi was allowed to sail on her
return trip Sufficient time has not yet
elapsed. it was said, for Baron Zwiedinek
TO receive instruction from his government
as to the course to be taken in the case OF
the Verona.
Indications are that the Austrian gov
ernment may enter a protest and notify
the United States that any other merchant
vessel permitted to sail with guns aboard,
even if intended for defense only, viii be
considered hostile craft, subject to being
sunk without warning

LOCAL WIRELESS
EXPERTS ,BAFFLED
Peculiar Disturbance Noted in Vaughan
& Burnett s Wireless Apparatus
About Noon Each Day.

Local wireless experts are baffied by
queer freak of the wireless apparatus in
stalled in the store of Vaughan & Burnett
for receiving the exact time at noon and
at 10 p. m.
OF late from a few minutes before II
o'clock until from three to 10 minutes past
that hour there Is a peculiar buzzing in
the receivers that makes it impossible to
hear the time signals flashed from Wash
ington At no other time of the day or
night is this heard. There is never any
difficulty in receiving the time at 10 p. m
1t was thought that the use OF the X-ray
machine in the Memorial hospital, often in
operation about noon, might in some way
interfere with the wireless, bat it has been
proved that this is not the cause The idea
that high tension wires might have some
thing to do with it is discarded because
of the fact that the effect would be heard
at other times than at noon.
| a. NJ. Bennett OF West Brattleboro. who
has a powerful receiving station at his
home, is not bothered materially by this
! phenomenon, although he has heard it.
Homer Ellis, who had wireless outfit on
the roof of the next building to that in
which Vaughan & Burnett's store is locat-
ed, has heard some slight disturbance at
times, but nothing like that which inter
lferes with the effectiveness of the Vaughan
X Burnett apparatus at noon each day

LUSITANIA NOTE
NOT SATISFACTORY
President Insists Upon Specific Ad-
mission That Torpedoing of Liner
Was Illegal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Germany
latest informal proposal to the United
States in an effort to bring about a settle
ment of the controversy about the sinking
of the Lusitania is not wholly satisfactory
to President Wilson and Secretary Ian
sing. This was disclosed in conference
between the secretary of state and the Ger
man ambassador, Count Won Bepnstorff,
lasting about 10 minutes, at the state de-
partment yesterday afternoon AS a re-
suit, they will confer again with view
to drafting a counter proposal to be sub
mitted for the approval of the Berlin gov
ernment.
As it viii take at least six days to for
ward this counter proposition to Berlin
and receive response, it was the under
standing in inner circles last night that the
settlement of the Lusitania case will be
postponed at least another week. The
statement is made in responsible quarter
that no settlement will be reached at to-
days conference between Count Won Bern
stortf and Secretary Lansing.
The hitch in the effort to adjust the Iusi-
tania matter grows out of the disinclina-
ton of the Berlin government to admit
legal liability for the attack on the Lusita-
mia, and the insistenee of the United
States government that there be some writ
ten expression admitting the illegality OF
the attack and consequently the liability OF
Germany for the destruction Of American
lives.

DISAGREEMENT ON
THE COST OF ARMOR
Widely Different Estimates Are Given
by Naval officers and the
Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. - Widely
different estimates of the cost of build
ing an armor plate plant and making
armor were presented to the senate
naval committee yesterday by naval
officers and representatives of manu-
facturers. The committee is consider
ing Chairman Tillman's bill for the
establishment of a government facto-
ry.
Rear Admiral Straus, chief of the
navy ordnance bureau, estimated that
it would cost $11, 100000 to build an
armor plant producing annually 20,-
600 tons. A. c. Dinkey, president of
the Midvale Steel and Ordnance com
pany, testified that it would cost that
much to build a 10,000-ton plant.
Admiral Straus said he had figured
the manufacturing cost of the govern
ment produced armor would be 1852 a
ton.
f. G. Grace, president of the Beth
lehem Steel company, insisted that
this was too low and did not include
allowances for depreciation.
Mr. Dinkey said the armor his plant
was turning out for the battleship
Pennsylvania was costing $34l ton.
Mr.. Dinky estimated it would take
the government four years to build an
armor plant and Admiral Straus said
| it would require more than three years
Senator Tillman told the committee
| however, that the new head of the bu
reau of yards and docks had reported
that if the red tape of the navy de
partment was cut he could build the
/ plant in a year and half
Admiral Straus suggested that in
addition to insuring a reasonable cost
in manufacturing the erection of g
government plant might stimulate pri
vate manufacturers to the production
of better grade of armor.
The committee will vote on the Till
man bill next Tuesday. Senator Pen
rose suggested today that in the mean
time the private manufacturers sub
NIT to the secretary Of the navy de
tailed figures as to cost with view
of arriving at a reasonable price TO
armor and thus obviating the need o.
4 government plant.

ENGLAND FACES
GREAT QUESTIONS
Labor's Attitude Toward Compulsory Service to Be
Decided Today ay-Fearing Increase of Friction
with NeutraIs Formal Blockade of Germany May
Not Be Forced

The position of the British govern
ment on two matters of prime import
ance in the conduct of the war is to be
determined as a result of proceedings
underway today. The attitude of labor
toward compulsory military service will
be decided at the great conference
meeting today in Bristol. The debate
ON the question of Il blockade of Ger
many is before the house of commons.
The Bristol conference is the most
important Of this kind ever held in
England, representing more than 1000,
coo members of trade unions.
The compulsory military service bill,
having passed the house of commons
and encountered little opposition in the
house of lords, the outcome of a long
campaign on this measure win depend
largely on the attitude of organized
labor.
Although great opposition to compul-
sion developed at the London labor
conference it is believed this feeling
has subsidized since that time.
There are intimations unofficial in ma
ture that the British government has
decided against formal blockade of
Germany. 1t is pointed out in English
newspapers, which reflect the views of
the government, that such action might
weaken Great Britain S hands and III
crease the friction with neutrals.
The Austrian drive down the east
coast of the Adriatic, having passed
beyond the Montenegrin border, is now
said to have resulted in the capture
of an Albanian seaport, San Giovanni
Di Medua.
Rome advices indicate that the Ital
ian government is concerned at th'
extension of Austrian influence soutl
and along the Adriatic.
1t is said no alarm is felt in ROM
for Avlona, which has been oeeupi&'
by Italian troops, or DTazzo, in th
hands of Essad Pasha, provisional pres
ident of Albania, who has cast his 10
with the entente allies.
