. 4 = 81 III
Washington, D.. G. - Numerous IN
dictments for conspiracy to thwart
the governments war plans and tie
its hands in many ways appear to be
in prospect as a result Of the re-
cent nationwide raid of Industrial
Workers of the World Offices by de-
partment of justice agents.
Evidence is said to be fast accumu.
lating to support the belief that q
gigantic conspiracy has existed for
some time past to cripple the govern
ment in carrying on the war. that its
ramiflcations have extended into vir.'
tually every state and that numerous
anti-war activities which appeared to
emanate from many sources In reality
had their fountain head in q single
group Of conspirators. II II
Anti-draft demonstrations, Gripping
Of war. industries by 20 called labor
disturbances and by violenca burning
Of crops and continuous preachment
Of anti.ally sentiment with other &C
tivities intended to embarrass the
government and !, retard the exercise
of its full strength in prosecuting the
war;. appear, from recent disclosures,
to have been included within the
scope OF the alleged conspiracy.

Washington, D. G. - Sweden has
violated neutrality and carried mes
sages between Count Llxburg, German
Argentine charge d'aifaires at Buenos
Ayres, and Berlin.
The plot was revealed by the state
department.
Luxburg advised his government not
to heed Argentines demand In the u
boat situation.
The most glazing Of his advice was
to order Argentine ships to turn back
or to sink them without leaving any
trace. u s
The Swedish legation at, Buenos
.Ayres forwarded his messages to the
Stockholm foreign ONCE as its own
ofilcial messages. "
This was distinct violation Of neu-
trality which is likely to result In q
delicate situation between the allies
and Sweden, while Argentine is ex-
pected to plunge into the war now
that she sees Germany's schemes
against her barred.

been an eyesore for long time and has caused considerable criticism from autoists. Efforts to have it, paved have been made on numerous occa- sions but without success. Conse- quently the commissioners decision to make the improvement, providing the town will aid, causes general satisfac- tion.
 If pavement is laid, crushed stone taken from the highways when ex- cavation for the amiesite is being made will be given to the town and will be placed on other streets. This will add to the highway expenses. New ertheless the selectmen are opposed to letting the offer pass as the town will get without expense considerable val uable stone.
 When the propositions are placed before the voters it is believed they will be viewed favorably and the nec- essary appropriations made. Economy is the watchword with people, because of the uncertainties of the future, but the fact that Plainville can get so much by paying so little has made a favorable impression on the officials and they will recommend the adoption of the plan at the coming meeting.

The land will be ploughed and fertilized by the committee, and the only promises required ot< these who undertake to raise crops on the sections allotted to them being that they will give the proper attention to the garden during the summer. Should they neglect them the commit- tee will hire men to do the work and will charge the expense against the crop raised.
 Several applications for sections of this land have already been made and permission to cultivate the gardens has been given to number of resi- dents.
