AMSTERDAM, August 10 - Weary
Of the war aud dissatisfied with the
Prussian ohgarehy that is conducting
it, eight thousand German miners met
yesterday ut Essen, where are the
great Krupp steel and munitions works,
in u demonstration for peace and elec-
toral~ reforms which should give the
people some voice in their own des.
tinies. 81. -"@ st.. ~
In the Essen district it is within
bounds to say that one. voter Of the
so.called first class has as much voting
power as fifty thousand voters of the
so.Galled third class. Mf
The executive government of Prussia
is wholly in the hands of the king,
who under the title Of kaiser is also
emperor of Germany, and whose coun-
Gil of ministers, appointed by royal de-
croe, Is responsible to the king alone.
The Prussian law.makng body has
two chambers, the upper one of which
is made up Of royal princes, territorial
nobility, and a number of magnates
named by the king, with few burgo-
masters Of large cities.
The lower house, which has i43 mem
bers, is elected by the great body Of
Prussian citizens above the age of
twenty-five, on the now famous three
class system. Those who pay the high
est taxes to the total extent Of one
third Of all the taxes paid, constitute
the first class and exercise one-third
of the electoral power. X T.. ~.

constitute second amount equal to
. third Of the whole, form the voters

PAN-iERMANS PLAN
 I: TO DUST BETHMANN
Will Send Daily Telegrams Appealing to Hindenburg for Support.

Copenhagen, via London, May 26. 11:1O a. m.--The Pan-Germans have settled down to a steady summer against Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg. The plan of campaign, as disclosed by a German paper, includ- ed a day by day appeal to Field Mar shal von Hindenberg, through tele- grams of greeting from local meetings of the Pan-G German league, to induce him to come out openly for the Pan German scheme of annexations and against the Bethmann peace pro- gram. The chancellor's opponents are confident that if they can array Von Hindenburg against Won Bethmann- Hollweg the fate of the premier is sealed. The published replies of the field marshal to some of the greetings indicate that he certainly. shares the views of the Pan-Germans to some ex- tent. The telegrams, however, have been worded so skillfully that they permit Won Hindenburg to answer sympathetically without committing himself on the questions at issue.
 A second part of the campaign, namely. a great patriotic appeal
 against the socialists on the strength of Scheidemann's threat of
 revolution, seems to have been thrown in complete confusion by the disclos- ures of the vorwaerts and the Taxe- blatt that the Pan-German leaders used the same threat, although in an
 exact opposition direction. A third
 and all-important side of the cam paign is the agitation against constitu- .tional reform. This has developed mainly in conversation groups. where 1, it is sure of g sympathetic response,
 and here the outcry against the chan
 cellor is voiced without ths sliehte4j
 reserve. X x x x The most vtolent- abuse sts hurled ] against the chancellor in speeches by 1 the conservative deputy von Graefe
 and the ''Uncrowned king of Prussia. Von Heidebrand. who insistently de-
 mands his retirement. ,.
 Side by side with the anti-Beth-
 mann-Hollweg campaign. the Pan- Germans are assailing Count Czerin,
 the Austrian foreign minister, for his attitude in regard to peace. The
 courtesy usually affected between the two countries Is ignored and the most viru1ent language is used. The Tages Zeitung says that it is credibiy in-
 formed that Count Czerin's last visit to German headquarters was for the : purpose of winning the Kaiser and ! Won Htndenburg to his views and that the results are unknown
 Vice Chancellor HelRerich, Foreign i Secretary Zimmermann and Minister of Finance Roedern are expected to visit Vienna next week ostensibly9 tn negotiate new commercial treaty

SUPT. CRAWFORD MAY
 TO HAMILTON, ONT.
Head of Boys Club Here Invited to ;. <. Form sanalar xr,izatiop '''sA'.s ~ Fl 1An.issl1 5Claty. .sssas

Supt. Robert H Crawford of the New Britain Boys club returned last night from the national convention of the Boys Club Federation at Buff falo, N. Y., and admitted today that he had. been invited to accept the position of superintendent of the Boys club at Hamilton, Ontario. Canada At present there Is no boys organization in Hamilton and the business men of that place are desir- ous of having a man of MT. Craw- ford's get-there type to form . club. The position would carry with 1t . salary much in excess of that re- ceived by Mr. Crawford in this city. MT. Crawford was unable. to say whether he would accept the offer. He feels that New Britain Is his home and the Boys club is his club. ssI have never been in any city where I have received better treat ment or more generous support than New Britain," he said. 'I feel at liberty to walk into the office of any manufacturer or business man ana tell them my story and I know l am
 welcome because they listen to me
 with interest. I would dislike very much to leave here because feel that the Boys club is my machine. I built it and it is as much a part of me as my right arm."
 MT. Crawford has been here Tor five years and it is generally agreed that he made the Boys club what 1t 1 is. It is the concensus of opinion that New Britain, present and future would feel it keenly if he were al- ] lowed to depart.
 In recognition of twenty years ] service in Boys club work, Mr. Craw- ford was presented by the federation

 THREE PLANES SHOT DOWl
MONEY NOT NEEDED
 GOES BACK TO BANKS
Treasury Re-deposits $128,- 593, 900 to Those Buying
 Indebtedness Certificates.

Washington, May 26.-The treasury department today began the practice or re-depos1ting g. portion of the pro- ceeds obtained from certificates of in- debtedness by placing $12S,593,000 among the various banks and trust companies which subscribed to the latest offering of $20O, 900, ,OOO in short term certificates of indebtedness.
 The practice is in line with the an nounced policy of returning to the money markets such funds as not im- mediately needed to finance war needs. Most of the banks taking the deposits are in New York and the east. A number of other banks notified the government that such deposits were not desired.
 The money in this case will re-
 main on deposit possibly ten days until it is needed by the government
 to meet American or allied needs
 when it will be withdrawn with ac- 1 crued interest at two per cent. The plan is similar to one already put into effect by federal reserve banks in New York. Each federal re 1 serve bank would issue large mum. Der of the ten dollar memorandun 1 certificates, among member banks and other financial institutions in it's dis.
 trict. A man with ten dollars coult purchase one of the memorandum certificates and by purchasing foul
 others prior to the close of subscrtp ton June 15 would be enabled to pre-
 sent the entire series of five and ob I tain in exchange $50 bond.
 ] The memorandum certificates would 1 be redeemable if purchasers should
 be unable to buy enough to exchang' 1 for bond.

Submersible Is 15o Feet Long, Has Crew of 25 and Has Cruising Radius of 5000 Miles.

Nels J. Nelson, New Britain's mechanical genius. has perfected what he believes to be the latest type In suhnAFane construction, the model of whioh now in his workshop. The craft ,ih4Qne, In it's. m4aeup, presents even atD. sthe most qualttied naval designer serne of its greatest possibili- ties at first glance, and the young in- ventor who has achieved success in building of aeroplanes is confident of its ultimate success before a picked board of United States experts before whom he expects to present his in ventioni in the near future.
 Many months of careful study of the submarine type used in the pres cut war. set Mir. Nelson to work on q craft which might be- effective in sOvefcoming inc datik4fs that turk be- meath the oceans surface and he be- Heves that his ideas will meet with the approval of experts.
 The model presents possibilities of @ submarine 15O feet in length, of torpedo and cigar shape type. the torpedo being in the bow. This is the smallest of the type and the craft may be built to conform with any plans. In the inside compartment provisions. fuel. etc.. for twenty five men may be carried and the boat will be able to stay away from land within radius of 5000 miles for three months.
 According to the ideas Of the in- ventor. the submarfne will possess faculties for fighting both above and below water. This should prove 8 decided advantage. In the rear of the craft is movable turret carrying a six-inch gun to take care of enemy merchant ships in the distance. While the model has but one gun at present the inventor has made. 1t possible to equip it with any amount re- Quired.
