BELGIUM HAPPY IN COMP ARSON
 WITH POLAND
Devastation in Famine Swept Land is Said to Be Absolutely
 IndeSCribabIe.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-By contrast with the condition of Poland Bel. gium is land of opulence and hap piness. according to Dr. John F. Strandgaard. of Toronto, Canada, who arrived here yesterday
 "The devastation in Poland is indescribable." said Dr. Strandgaard Its population Of S2OOO.OOO has dwindled to 1S,OOOOOO, and one can travel for miles before meeting any children above the age of ten. And when a child is seen. in nine cases out of ten. 1t is scarcely more than a sckelton Famine reigns ev- erywhere.'
 Dr. William Schlaar, of this city. a United States immigration inspect. or. who had escorted a deported in. sane man to Norway. said he found conditions in that country just about the same as here. Food is as high priced as in New York.
 Dr. Schlaar said that when he reached Christiania. Norway. he could not find any hotels available and was compelled to travel about the city with his insane charge look ing for a place to sleep.
 We finally reached a railroad station" he said, but it was so dingy and uncomfortable an affair that I decided to look around again. and in that way we found a railroad official who opened a stalled car in which we were able to rest"

Chancellor Says Note to Wilson on Dum- Dunn Bullets Was
 a Mistake.
STORMY MEETING HELD
Bitter Attack Is Made and ViCe-ChanCeIIOr Hints at Work of
 DupIicity.

LONDON, Nov. IA. - An Amster. dam dispatch to the Daily Mail says Tuesdays issue of the Germania, oi Berlin, the organ Of the Catholic party, publishes an account of reye lations made at a meeting of Count yon Revenuaw's independent com mittee for German peace terms.
 "The chairman. Professor Schafer, said that a deputation had an in- terview with the chancellor on Sep tember II, when they demanded an immediate opening of Q ruthless sub marine campaign and expressed want of confidence, owing to the chancel- lor's lack of firmness against Eng land and America.
 "In reply the chancellor said that chief enemy but for political and military reasons, could not yet be- gin ruthless submarining.
 AlI-Highest's Mistake
 He had, he said, been approached concerning the Kaiser's letter to President Wilson, of September 1914, regarding the use by the French of dum-dum bullets. He ad- mitted this letter was mistake of the Kaiser's. Professor Schafer ended by saying that submarining would be useless unless it began immediately.
 Count von Reventlow bitterly at- tackled von Hehrich, and said the German government not only delib- erately encouraged publication in Germany of American newspaper protests whenever Q ship was sunk in which the United States was in- terested, but he would also go so far as to say that the American were encouraged by the German government to publish these protests. Naturally he continued, the position of the present chancel- Tor is important, but it seems to me it's importance is being exaggerated and we ought not to overlook the position of the present vice-chan- cellor, who is the coming chancel' lor'"

KANE BURIED s7.soo
 BENEATH TRUNK OF TREE.
Roll of Bills Found by Detectives at
 Orient Point, L. |.

New York. March 31-Buried near the trunk of the tallest of a grove of trees at the very tip of Long Island, a roll of bills which Eugene Oliver Kane. the embalmer, asserted was forced upon by pr. Arthur Warren Waite. was found today by a detective. Kane claimed pr. Waite paid him this money in an effort to induce him to swear there was arsenic in the em- balming fluid used on the body of waite's father-in-law. John E. Peck, of Grand Rapids. for whose murder the young dentist was indicted today. The roll. which Waite told District Attorney Edward Swann, contained S9, 900 totalling only S7,sO0 when 1t was found by the detective. Kane said he never counted the money while 1t was in his possession and therefore did not whether waite's count was cor rect.
 Detective John Cuniffe. accompanied by Kane told the district attorney he had buried the money. Arriving at Greenport they undertook to complete the trip by automobile but the ma chine became stalled in the mud two or three miles out and they were obliged to walk. Then they attempted to yeach their destination in bot, but after starting found the craft was not equipped with a rudder and had to begin ali over again
  in the launch of a hotel proprietor. After landing Kane led the way to the grove One of the trees was conspic- uously tall and under it was a tin can. Kane kicked aside the can and with a pocket knife removed a sod beneath which was a second tin can. Inside the can was a roll of bills, wrapped in brown paper The detective in the presence of Kane and the hotel man counted the money and reported to the district attorney that it aggregat- ed S7,s0O.
 According to the story told by Waite he also bave Kane a check for Ss.4OO which Kane admitted having accepted. This check has not yet been located. Cuniffe said 1t was not with the roll of bils.
 District Attorney Swann said to- night that Waite, who Is a prisoner at Bellevue hospital, where he is re- covering from the effects of drugs taken just before his arrest, proba- | bly, will be arragned Monday on the | indictment which charges him with | murder in the first degree.
 When told by his attorney, Waiter Deull. that he had been indicted Waite exclaimed: That is what expected"
 DeuIl said that when he suggested an insanity defense to him. Waite de- clared: 'T am just as sane as you are. You can't help me in that way | am not afraid of the electric chair Miss Cozella Corbett. formerly oi Grand Rapids but now living here | denied to the distrist attorney today that she had written a letter to Dr | Charles H. Bull of Grand Rapids, de. | claring that Waite had said to her | soon after his message to Miss Peck; II Don't worry. We will socn bt Il spending Pecks money"

 Workhouse for Assault.

New York. March 3l.-The case of John W. NcCirath, private secretary to Theodore Roosevelt, who was recently sentenced to the workhouse for thirty days for assault, was before Justice SCuddCr in Brooklyn today on an order obtained in his behalf requiring cause to be shown why a certificate of req sonable doubt should not be granted.

Thers is not a volunteer fireman in this city that does not wish the Aliens success with their new apparatus, regardless of any misunderstanding that may have existed before this matter was definitely determined. Come to thin!, 1t over there is just a little bit of diff ference between the present hook and ladder truck and the one that existed in the days when the oldest volunteer of the present day was a small boy The time was when the hook and ladder truck of the New London fire depart ment was without a working company. In keeping with the other apparatus of that time, this truck was hand-drawn- It was stored in a shed built in Hun tington street, in the Town square, the loca ton of the almshouse. and now the site of the Bulkeley school. When the truck was wanted some men volun- teered to go and get 1t but there wa no regular truck company. In a way

CEN. E. E. BOSS RETIREs.
Resigns at Thread Plant After Nearly Forty Years as Asent-sueeesded by His Son, Austin D. Bcss.

After devoting nearly sixty years of his life in working and building up the thread plant in this city. General Eugene s. Boss. who far nearly forty years has been agent of the plant, re- tires today from active work. His place as agent is to be taken by his son, Austin Durham Boss. for many years closely identified with him in conducting of the affairs of the plant.
 General Boss has sought for long time to retire from the many cares and responsibilities attached to the high position he held, but the officials of the American Thread company, rec ognizing his worth and merit and his success in handling the affairs of the company here, hesitated to accept his resignation. Finally, when they be- came convinced that General BOSS really felt that he needed a rest, they consented to accept the resignation.
 When he steps out of harness today General Boss will have completed a remarkable career in the manufactur- ing affairs of this part of the state.
 About fifty eight years ago, youth
 in humble circumstances, he entered the dressing department of the Willi-
 mantle Linen company, which was
 then but a small plant. Long hours
 at work and arduous duties were in
 store for him. But gifted with un= uaunSeQ courage dInDlJlOn to TlSe m the world, he went into his work with all the activity there wGS in him. Later he became identified with the
 New York office of the company. then returned here as chief clerk and pay master. Afterwards he was elected | secretary of the company, also man. ager. Then he was made agent When the American Thread company bought the plant here he was con- | tinued as agent and in, recognition of
 his accomplishments in the manufac- | turing business he was made a direc- | tor of the company, also a member oi the advisory committee. Under the careful directing hand of General Boss | the plant here constantly grew. un- | iii today it is the largest and best plant owned by the American Thread | company.
 Austin Durham Boss, who is to fl | the office made vacant by the resig' ! nation of his father. is a native o 1 Windkam, and for many years hal been connected with the thread plant | learning its every department anC l equipping himself for some responsi ble position. In his selection as agen to succeed his father the directors O the American Thread company hav
 paid tribute to his efforts and eff fciency.
