 IN UNIQUE CASE
No Responsibility for Man aho Died After Being
 Hit With Brick.

Charles Sumigaeski of this city, 6of- merly employed by the American yube & Stamping Co.,, was struck by = ssone thrown by fellow worker on the night of June 13, 1916. He re- ceived medical attention at the tine, but it has been established that cry sipelas developed and he died at the isolation hospital, June 25, 1916.
 The criminal authorities took no icognizance of the case. Now the civil authorities represented by the compensation court for the Fourth Congressional district of Connecticut handed down decision through Commissioner Buckingham that no civil obligations result from the death.
 evidence adduced before Compent sation Commissioner Buckingham discloses that Sumigaeski, res1dent of Chadasako, State of Tarnopoi' Austria, was employed at the Amerl- can Tube & Stamping works as ..pickler." On the night Of June lS' he wished an electric light on nlsn crane repaired. He called an electrl- clans helper. The helper wanted some waste to. clean his hands sum igaeski threw him some which in turn the helper hurled down upon the "pickler." An interchange of lime soaked waste resulted in others join ing in the horse play with the cul-' mination of bombardment with small stones and bricks. Sumigaesk1 was struck in the forehead and he dropped in his tracks, A physician was summoned and sewed up a deep wound. The victim worked during the rest of the night but was soon inca pacitated and later died.
 In the commissioners finding It IS stated. From the facts presented Tn the case it se .ms to be clearly shown flat the accident which finally result cd in the, death of the deceased was not in any way connected with h's cmployment.s The chain of events that finally led up to the serious happen ing was started apparently through the horse-play that was indulged ID. It dces not seem thas the serious out : come could by any stretch of the imagination be connected with any of the uties of the deceased in tho so-called pickling department of the respondents factory. therefore find that the injuries supplied by Charles Surnigaeski did not arise out of or in the course of his employment and claim for compensation is dismisseas

LUXBURG PLAN Is EXPOSED
Messages Snow intention To Awe
Latin-Americans.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Two more OF
the notorious Count Won Luxburgs
messages to the German foreign office
from Beunos Aires have been made
public by Secretary Lansing They
provide official confirmation OF Ger
many's plan TO control Southern Bra
zil, shed additional light upon Teu-
tonic intrigue in South America gen.
orally and reveal that Luxburg ap-
pealed vainly for squadron of sub
marines with which to awe some
Latin,Americans and to fiatter others
with salutes.
The break between Argentina and
Germany, which Won Luxburg appar-
emily was expecting in July, has not
yet come Latest advices from Bue-
nos Aires do not indicate any inten-
ton by the Argentine government to
join Prazil and other South Ameri-
can nations on the side OF the Allies.
Won Luxburg, who was kept in a de
tention camp for time after his ex
posure, is expected to sail for home
at once, the Allies having agreed to
grant him safe conduct for the voy
age.

American Army to Attack If Ma
jor Disaster Threatens
Cadorna, Belief.
WOULD DIVERT ENEMY
Powerful Pressure At Certain Places
In France Would Demand Call On
German Reserves-Enemy Plans
Force Issue.

New York, Nov. 1.-The American
army in France may have to begin
its full participation in the war
sooner than was generally anticipated
IL there proves to be no other way
of creating a sufficient diversion to
prevent the Germans from over-run-
ming the Northern Italian plains.
Stackenine of Drive Indicated.
Indications now point to a slowing
down of the Teutonic advance in
Italy; but if later developments
threaten to cause a major disaster to
the Allied cause along the Taglia-
mento river, the United States prob
ably will not be content with trying
to save Italy for the Allies by money
contributions alone. Germany has
/ consistently gone TO the relief of her
own allies with military help when
ever they were threatened with dc.
feat, but the Allied powers have been
unable, for various reasons, to do this.
Drive In West Possible.
Tho United States, however. may be
destined to fight it's first battle in
Europe primarily to assist a falter-
ing Ally, rather than in strict accord
with pre-arranged strategic objec'
tives. To do this it would be neither
necessary or advisable for the Ameri.
can troops to join with the Italians
in driving the Teutons back across
the Isonzo.
Washington To Decide.
American pressure at certain places
along the French front, If sufficiently
powerful, would demand an imme
date cessation of German efforts in
; Italy and a quick call upon all avail
able German reserves.
IL sometimes becomes necessary II

plans are fully matured. The enem'

U. S. GUNNERs DO BETTER
First Sunshine Proves Help To Fight
INC Soldiers.

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 1. - The Americans in the
trenches and gun pits of France have
seen the sun for the first time since
taking their places in the line. The
weather was clear and cold and a frost
covered the hills during the night.
The favorable conditions gave the
gunners better opportunity to do
shooting, the observers being able to
spot the targets and shots.
The condition OF the first wounded
Americans arriving at the base hos
pital Is excellent. The infantry and
artillerists took advantage of the sun
shine to dry their soaking clothing.
Notwithstanding he bad weather
conditions of the last few days there
is no report of a single case of sick
ness resulting from this cause. 'fhe
perfect physical condition of the men
is believed responsible for this.

London. Nov. 1.-The German reich

There were indications, he said, that
Germany would be hopelessly bank

would be recoverable.
Millions had been advanced to the
