The Downs, that portion of the North
sea of the east coast of Kent between
Ramsgate and South Foreland, is filed
with ships bound for Rotterdam which
have not been permitted TO proceed on
their voyages. British ships are forbid
den to continue their voyage to Hol-
land and neutral vessels are not being
given the course by the admiralty.
In official circles it is said that the
stoppage is due to the danger OF Ger
man mines, which they allege have been
sown along the Dutch coast, and that
the vessels will not be allowed to pro-
eeed until the mines have been swept
up.
Among the detained ships are several
belonging to the commission for the re-
lief OF Belgium. and it is feared that
if they are delayed much longer there

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
And Case of Scarlet Fever at Seminary
Is Isolated.


A mild case of scarlet fever has been
discovered at Goddard seminary and as
every precaution has been taken to keep
the case isolated, there is little fear of
an epidemic and unless the unexpected
happens the school will not be quaran-
tined Miss Frieda Hassan of East
Hardwick, who returned TO school about
10 days ago, has been ill with the disease
since Wednesday. Her illness was def-
nitely diagnosed yesterday, after she had
already been removed to an infirmary
room in the new building. Health Officer
J. W. Stewart, who was called to the
seminary last night, approved of the pre-
cautionary measures adopted by the
school authorities and said that quaran-
tine viii probably not be necessary.
Miss Hassan is only mildly affected
and her early recovery is anticipated.
,Jsst where she contracted the malady
be determined, although at the
school there are those who incline TO the
belief that she may have been exposed
before returning to the seminary after
the Christmas vacation. Students who
attending the production
Of "The Only Girl" at the opera house
have been asked to cancel their seat res
arvations and other measures of precau-
ton have been enforced. Glasses are
held regularly, however, and the pres
,nce of the fever in light form will not
De allowed TO interfere with the usual
.enor of school life.

a heavy sentence, stating that there were
other criminal matters in which Donah
was alleged to be involved. Robert W.
McCuen, representing the respondent,
suggested that the other cases had moth
ing to do with the case under consider

tion, are in sight according to marble
men who are now on the inside of the
affairs of the company and although the
officials refuse to discuss the situation
ii is known that negotiations are prac-
tically completed for the transfer of the
old Boardman quarry on Boardman hill
from the hands of Charles Boardman of
California, Micajah 0dell and his son,
George H. 0dell, the present owners, to
p. r. Eaton of Fitchburg, Mass, presi-
dent of the marble company.
1t was admitted by w. r. See, mana
ger of the Green Mountain company,
that several deals of considerable mag
nitude are pending but just what these
are he refused to say. When asked
whether or not the company was plan
ming to buy the Boardman quarry he
said the only way he could answer the
question was by saving "yes or no."
The Boardman hill quarry is situated
on Boardman HILL about a mile south
of the village of West Rutland, and it
is located on the Sutherland Falls vein,
the vein worked too successfully by tile
Vermont Marble company. The quarry
was opened about 40 years ago, worked
for a year or more and abandoned. A
man by the name of Hyatt, who was
also interested in the Manhattan works
in West Rutland, was instrumental in
opening the quarry. The marble from
this hole is white with blue markings.

London. Jan. IA wireless from
Rome reiterating the report Of an armis-
tice between Austria and Montenegro
states that it was Austria which pro-
posed the cessation of hostilities with
the purpose of negotiating separate
peace.
Whether King Nicholas will continue
the unequal struggle is considered doubt
full here, but the accepted view among
the best posted men in London is that
Montenegro has virtually passed under
Austrian control. The chief significance
of this does not lie in the small terri
torial acquisition, which is less than
Serbia. but in Montenegro's Adriatic
front, lying alongside the Austrian main
offensive naval station of Cattaro, where
yesterdays dispatches announced the en-
tire Austrian fleet, including three dread
noughts. is assembled, and from which
the recent naval raid was made against
Italian transports going to the relief of
Serbia.
This further extension of Austria's
Adriatie front with the dominating ma
val center of Cattaro is viewed as fur
ther tending toward the realization of
auSLIid UbIccb VI Hiahll4H bhc AhAh"biS
an Austrian sea and thus checking ltaly's
ambition to make it an Italian sea.
italy had so much at stake that Off
cials and diplomats had been waiting
anxiously for the steps Italy would take
to relieve Montenegro and at the same
time avert another Austrian extension
on the Adriatic. They were aware that
Italy had once before prevented Austria
from gaining territorial concessions from
Montenegro near Cattaro by emphatical-
1y objectng to the treaty made in 1912.
As Italy was then a member of the triple
alliance, Austria reluctantly yielded to
the Italian objection.
1t was believed that dvnastic reasons
would play part in Italy's assistance
of Montenegro, as King Nicholas daugh- |
ter is the wife of the king of Italy, but |
help from that quarter did not arrive, /
as the Italian expedition was landed |
further south, in Albania, and has not /
been heard from since.
The London Times asserts that Italy's /
in Montenegro are as important I
as England's in the opening of the Dar
danelles and that the prospective ami
hilation of Montenegro will have far
reaching maritime consequences in the
eastern Mediterranean.
