New York, March 12.-"Germany.s : says statement made public today by the New York Federation of Churches. should be made awaro of of the essential unity of our people and their loyal determination to make all sacrifices necessary to protect our liberty and to maintain our honor."
 To this end the federation urged all groups of citizens throughout the country to give immediate public ex. pression to their convictions regarding the situation between the two coun- tries. This appeal. the federation says.

HOME GUARD MACHINERY
 BEGINS TO GATHER SPEED
Emergency Board Meets at Hartford to Appoint Re cruiting o1icefs - Many Offers of Assistance.

Hartford, March 12.--The military emergency board appointed by Gov ernor Holcomb Saturday to perfect the organization of a Home Guard. will meet this afternoon tv appoint recruiting officers. to obtain enlist ments in every town of the state. The work of enlisting will be begun im- mediately. The term of service will be two years. Members of the com mittee have been besieged with per- sons and organizations offering their aid, and no tiiniculty is anticipated In organizing guards. New London. the committee has been informed. has seventy-five men waiting to enlist and patriotic societies all over the state have offered their services.
 The committee consisting of Judge Lucien F. Burpee and Benedict M. Holden of this city and Major T. Moss Ives of Danbury, will have ifs head quarters in Hartford and the work of enlistments will be directed from here. Arrangements are made for quarters in old City hall, not only be- cause of it's central location in the city but because of the associations which the building has.
 The recruiting officers to be named will be men who have seer. military service. Enlistment blanks are being printed and as soon as these can be distributed to the officers they will start work. Although every town in the. state will not have . recruiting officer, the majority of them will and all the others will be reached.

FISCHERS RELATED TO
 THE GERMAN EMPEROR
Man and Wife Arrested il Philadelphia of Hohen-
 zOllern Blood.

Philadelphia. March 12.-Govern- ment agents today continued their in- vestigation into the activities of per- sons under arrest charged with smuggling ships chronometers from the German auxiliary cruisers in- termed at the Philadelphia navy yard and of persons suspected of having had hand ir the alleged violation of tho customs laws.
 There are reports that federal au- .horities have discovered a plot with many samifications to damage prop erty at the navy yard In the event there Is war between the United States and G6lmany. Government officials however are maintaining silence, neither confirming nor denying pub lished reports that explosives have been smuggled on board the Kron Prinz Wilhelm and the Prinz Eitel Friederich, tied up at the navy yard. The two ships, 1t was said. would be searched today for explosives. Up to this time, 1t is said, the navy depart ment has only the assurance of the commanders that there are no ex- plosives aboard.
 Adelbert K. Fisher, his wife Helen, ana Henry Rohener, head of a whole
 
 bail charged with smuggling the cronometers from the two German ships. Other arrests may be made. Rohener's friends declare he had been persuaded by Fischer to permit his motor truck for bringing boxes from the navy yard when Rohener's employees delivered groceries to the interned ships.
 No AntQ taken from the Fischer home in the suburbs are being examined by the federal au- thorities. It was said that the Fischers are distantly related to the Hohenxol- lern family of which the emperor of Germany is tho head. Mrs. Fischer Is said to be related to Koerling. the German iron master. What part she too kin the alleged smuggling has not been revealed.
 The arrest of the Fischers and Rohener has given impetus to started here last week to have the interned German cruisers removed from the navy yard. It was declared that in the event of war the. 75O interned German sailors would be a serious menace to the yard and Southern Philadelphia.
 Henry Rohener said today that he was the victim of an act of courtesy. Twice a week he delivered groceries and other articles to the interned ships on motor trucks. he said, and Mrs. Fischer asked his permission to send some things to the yard on one of these trips. The articles. he said, were six apple cakes and some cream. At another. time Mrs. Fischer asked permission to let his drivef bring articles from the German cruisers. He consented he said after she had assured him that he would not be doing anything unlawful. The articles were brought to Rohener's wholesale house and called for by Mrs. Fischer. Rohener added that he knew nothing of the contents of the boxes until appraised by federal agents.

FRENCH CABINET WEAEENS

Obstructionists in Parliament Succeed
 in Undermining Ministry, Whose
 Resigmtion Would Be No Surprise.
 Paris. March 12.-E1eventh hour attacks of opposition in parliament have produced a situation of such a character that both the friends and the adversaries of the government admit today that 1t cannot continue. The general opinion is that the op- position, which hes been restoring to obstruction by refraining from voting, must overthrow the cabinet and re- sumo responsibility for solving the problems which form the basis for its assaults upon the ministry. or else cease it's attacks.
 Deputy Petitjean of Paris will in- terpellate the cabinet tomorrow the Journal says on its general policy, opening the way for a comprehensive decision by Premier Briand as to the position of the government. The Petit Journal. however, says it is doubtful whether a conclusive de- bate will take place tomorrow or whether cabinet changes will inter- vene. making tomorrow's session purely formal one, pending a dec- laration from transformed minis- try.

PLANNING TO AVERT
 STRIKES DURING WAR

Consolidation Committees to DO EVIneO
 in Every Industrial Center As
 Preparedness Step.
 New York, March 12-Plans for ayerting labor strikes in case of wer were announced hero today by the Ma tional Civic Federation and will be placed before the National Council of Defense.
 Cancellation committees composed jointly of employers. labor leaders and the public would be formed in every industrial center. In this con- nection. a statement by the civic or ganization's mediation committee says:
 ''There Is need of early precaution on this subject not only on account of the publicly announced intentions of certain radical organizations to pro- mote strikes and riots in every manu- featuring locality where they can pos sibly get a hearing, but also on ac- count of the experience in England. where it was found after the South Wales miners strike, involving 200,- 900 workmen. that the only means of settling and preventing strikes was through such voluntary efforts, the munitions compulsory act having proved entirely futile."
 The executive council of the Nation- al Civic Federation at meeting in Washington. March 29. will outline it's plans prepared at the invitation of the advisory commission of the Ma tional Council of Defense.
