BERLIN REPLIES
TO ALL CHARGES
IN ALLIED NOTE

London, Jan. IA semi official re-
ply has been issued in Berlin in re-
gard to the British interview made
public here Saturday on the latest
Allied and German notes. This reply
says British charges against Germany
for starting the war are not new. The
reply then proceeds to ask a series of
questions in respect to the diplomatic
action of the powers prior to the out
break of the war.
1t IS asserted, among other things,
that Germany could not have done
otherwise than order mobilization, as
Russia's suggestion of reference to
The Hague tribunal came, it is said,
on the very day that her mobilization
against Austria Hungary was begun.
The reply calls attention to the con-
centration camps in South Africa, the
debates in the Russian duma on the
subjects of the treatment of foreign
nationals In Russia, the treatment of
Jews in Russia and Mohammedans in
the Caucasus, the Entente attitude to-
ward Greece and the treatment of
German prisoners Of war in Russia.
Another question asked in the reply
is: us not the submarine war mere
ly a reprisal against the British policy
of starvation p

Commerce Chamber
Names Committees

Active steps towards solving the
many Industrial and transportation
Problems that best Bridgeport have
been taken by the Chamber Of Com
merce which announces formation OF
committee on meetings and assem-
blies, and wide program Of lunch
cons for the winter season, to be held
at The Stratfield.
The committee includes these names
all of men active in the Industrial
commercial and financial world of this
city: Albert e. Lavery, chairman
Robert M. Games, David S. Day, Sgd
ney X. Becker, Paul Blackburn, War
rem D. Blatz, J. Carleton Sterling and
Clifford r. Beardsley.
The announced change of the meet
ing place from the Algonquin Club,
where committees have heretofore met
almost without exception, to The
Stratfield indicates broader public
policy upon the part Of the Chamber
of Commerce than has heretofore been
evidenced.
The luncheons, which will be sched-
uled with speakers of national promi-
hence and upon subjects of great i'm
portance to the city as a whole are
likely to be largely attended and dis
cussion of the problems in public will
become Of wide interest to the COM
munity.

BRIDGEPORT TO
Get AMBULANCE
CORPS OF GUARD
First Of Such Organizations
Will Be Recruited in
Park City.

The War Department has ordered
lance company of the National Guard
in the state of Connecticut to be re-
cruited and located at Bridgeport. 1t
is to be known as the First Connecti-
cut Ambulance company.
Major F. J. Adams, adjutant gen
eral has been authorized by Brigadier-
General G. M. Cole to begin recruiting
to submit the names of surgeons and
enlisted men to the United States War
Department for approval There will
be five surgeons and a minimum of 43
privates. The maximum rank Is about
70 men to the company. Recruiting
headquarters have already been es-
tablished under direction Of Major Ad-
aims in the local armory where quar-
ters will be assigned to the company.
This new departure in Connecticut
is said to have been secured for
Bridgeport through, the fact that an
attempt to form similar company in
Hartford fell through. Major Adams
suggested to the department that
Bridgeport be given the opportunity
with the result that the war depart
ment coincided in the belief that this
was the best location for such di-
vision.
Equipment for the company, in
Guiding the most up-to-date field hos
pita1 and ambu1ances will be furnish
ed and men and officers engaged in
the drills will have an opportunity Of
going wherever war manoeuvers are
held. Without the arduous tasks to be
performed that are found in the in
fantry and cavalry divisions, the men
will have all the opportunities of trav-
ell that is now given other commands.
Major Adams when seen in Bridge
port to-day expressed the opinion that
the full enlistment will be had before
the month has elapsed.
