German Moves Regarded
with Suspicion Upon
All Sides

Paris Feb. l6.--Warning against the
dual menace of German submarine ac-
tivity in American waters and against
German peace propaganda, which may
be in reality play for time, was sound
ed yesterday by American officials con
versant with the real situation in Ber-
lin.
Germany's attempt to negotiate the
issue OF her unlimited submarine order
through the Swiss legation at Washing
ton while Ambassador Gerard was still
in Berlin is regarded with suspicion by
these officials. The move is frankly
viewed as an attempt TO forestall action
by President Wilson until Germany can
make such disposition of her submarines
as will enable her best to strike at
America in case of war.
The maneuver having failed, 1t is no
surprise to American officials to hear
that Germany has now repudiated the
efforts of the Swiss minister.
The suggestion for negotiations is re-

Kidney and bladder weakness result

The kidneys filter this acid from the

While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful. this is really
one OF the most simple ailments TO over

FAST HOCKEY MATCH
WON BY CANADIANS
Goddard Team Went Down to Defeat Be-
fore Terrific Onslaught of Town
Team.

After playing to tie score of TO
for 40 minutes yesterday afternoon al
the Buzzell skating rink in the fastest
game seen in Barre this season. the ca.
madam Hockey club and Goddard sem.
mary had to extend the contest into an
extra period of 10 minutes before the
superior could be decided, the Canadian
Hockey club finally winning out by a
score of 4 to 3.
1t was by far the fastest game of the
season, as Goddard showed improved
| form in their skating over previous con-
tests, and the club team were skating
even faster than they did in the initial
contest month ago. when they won by
q decisive score. The contest could be
called little rough, as both teams were
out TO win, but victory meaning a good
deal whichever way it went, as God
dsrd needed it to ties the series and the
Hockey club needed it to strengthen
their hold on the series. The roughness
started at the outset and the swinging
of clubs and tripping was practiced
throughout the three periods, both sides
being equally proficient in the game.
The playing of the Goddard team was
the best of the season, and while they
lost, il was mainly on account of the
greater stamina of the older men.
Goddard started in the first period a
little dazed at the speed of few of
their opponents and Earl Smith of the
club team shot one through the goal
after a few minutes OF play. After this
the Goddard men picked up and skated
through the remainder of the period
with as much agility as shown by their
rivals. In the second period, both teams
played at top-notch speed. Goddard keep
ing the puck in the Hockey clubs terri
tory during major part of the time and
in this period they scored twice, as
against once by the club aggregation. In
this period the teams were going at a
good deal faster clip than in the first
stanza. with the result Of collision be-
tween "Bill' Rogers of the hilltop seven
and Jimmy" Stewart of the club team
which put Rogers out OF commission for
several minutes by the jar on the ice as
he fell, his head striking near the God |
dard goal. After his teammates worked |
over him for a while he regained con
seriousness and showed his pluck by re-
turning to the game and playing faster
than before. Another collision came
when Stewart and Carr at goal bumped
INTO each other, rolling down the ice for
! few feet; but nothing serious came
rom this accident, a. both men resumed
llay in short order.
In the third period both teams started
VI with the same great speed as was
,hown in the preceding chapters. but

nenced 20 waver and the fast skating

garded solely as having been an expedi-
ent to gain time while the German
financed peace movement in America
could get into action
While this time is gained Germany
counts on trying her submarine warfare
for few weeks. If it is unsuccessful
she will be able to say to President VIII
son: We viii stop if you will make
peace.
Ambassador Gerard il forwarding to
Washington his emphatic warning that
the Overseas News agency is being used
by Germany to mould American opinion.
Privately officials desire to warn Amer.
leans that Berlin dispatches are now
colored by the official German press bu-
reau.
Correspondents who repeatedly com
planned about the German censorship are
gone. Those who did not complain. ex-
cept Cyril Brown, Berlin correspondent
for the New York World, remain.
During past months it is stated that
the German censor repeatedly held up
United Press and Associated Press mes-
sages or advised correspondents Of those
two agencies that nothing regarding the
submarine warfare or, later, the delays
in obtaining passports could be sent,
Then Germany sent, via the Overseas |
News agency, information counteracting |
the texts of correspondents dispatches
An example of the use to which Ger |
many put her propaganda by the official
news agency is furnished in the inter
view with Baron Won Stumm, sent over
The wireless service, and which explained
hat the delay in Gersrd's departure was
Tue to necessity for filling in his pass
ports.
Ambassador Gerard was greatly in Il
,ensed when this interview came to his
attention.
1t is declared that Mr. Gerard was held
rom Monday until Saturday against his
will and despite urgent requests for per-
mission to leave.
Germany is now similarly treating
American consuls. None has reached
3erne since the arrival of the embassy
rain, although the American legation
t Berne was advised from the Spanish
Embassy in Berlin that Americans had
desire to leave.

Power Service
7 The Graniteville Sub-station

When the Tenney management took charge of
the affairs of this company the Graniteville sub
station was located in a wooden shed which was
both inadequate and unsafe
AS matter of fact a fire occurred at this SUBJ
station shortly after this time, which for while
threatened the entire building If the building
had been destroyed it would have been necessary
to shut off the power supply from, the entire
quarry district for an indefinite period
Realizing the important part played by this
station in the maintaining of adequate service the
management Immediately decided to con-
struct modern fre-proo plant of largely in
creased capacity Accordingly, work was imme-
diatey started on new brick building in which
transformers of double the capacity of the
old equipment were installed, and new switch
board was added equipped with modern control
and lightning protective devices
These changes made the Graniteville sub-staton
adequate and modern in every respect, and the
power supply to the granite quarres to-day
maintained with due regard to safety and rea-
bility of service.
