announced for employees of the American
Wooden company at Winooski went into
effect Monday. This company paid its
employees in Winooski alone in wages
during 1915 the sum of Sl,250,000. There
are now working in the Winooski mills
about $500 hands, including day and
night forces. The mills are running full

SAY HE JUMPED HIS
BAIL AT LOS ANGELES
Reported on Steamer Baltic
Involuntary Petition in Bank
ruptcy Filed Against Him

New York, Feb. 11.-John II. Put.
nam, who is being sought by pos.
office inspectors in connection with a
conspiracy to defraud investors in
mining stocks by illegal use of the
mails, was identified today, officials
declared, as DR.. j. Grant Lyman, who
was convicted in 1914 in Los Angeles
for mail swindles and sentenced to
two years imprisonment but who
jumped his bail
Believed Crossing Ocean
Lyman, who operated in this city
under the name Of John H. Putnam &.
Co., escaped arrest yesterday and is
believed to have sailed to Europe on
the steamship Baltic.
Louis Thornet, who acted as man.

Entente Protests

Apparently it is certain, if the tenn
per of the Allied governments can be
judged by the feelings of their diplo-
matte representatives here, that any
attempt of the United States to
change the present rule permitting the
use of American ports by merchant
ships armed for defensive purposes
will be met by strong protest Cor
respondence also is likely to follow
if the United States assumes a posi-
ton which comedies with that OF
Germany and Austria regarding the
right of submarines to sink armed
ships without warning.
May Be U. S. Initiative
On the other hand. the United States
itself may take the initiative should
the Entente Allies impose a virtual
boycott on American ports in the
event Of this government deciding that
armed merchant ships entering Amer
lean waters are ships Of war. and
therefore subject to internment.
The definite attitude Of the United
States towards the stated intention of
Germany and Austria will be deter
mined after the formal texts Of the
notes which have been handed to
Ambassador Gerard and Ambassador
penfield are received from Berlin ana
Vienna.
The views Of at least some of the
representatives Of the Entente Allies
here is that any change made in the
rule bearing on submarine warfare
during the war would be an unneutral
act.
The governments are represented as
not being prepared to admit that
there has been any change in the con-
ditions Of naval warfare which would
warrant merchant ships armed for de-
fensive purpose being characterized as
warships In Teutonic quarters. how
ever. it is contended that merchant
ships for defensive purposes are really
armed for resistance and that mer-
chant ships have no right to resist.
Moreover. it is claimed by Germany
that it is impossible to adhere to the
principle Of warning merchant ships
in accordance with the views Of the
United States should they be armed;
a single shell Of small calibre being
sufficient to sink any submarine which
might attempt to warn such vessel
It is admitted submarines have right
to stop enemy armed merchantmen.
American officials inclined to the
view that the contentious Of the Ger
man and Austrian governments are
we'll founded. and from several quar-
tiers today came the information that
the United States might warn its ma
tionals to remain off merchant ships
that are armed. This. it was said, in
German circles. was precisely what
the German and Austrian governments
have been aiming to achieve.
