FED ON LIES" LETTER
STRS NAVY DEPT.
Charges Of Officer With Fleet May
Start Investigation.

Charges of a naval officer with the
destroyer fleet in European waters
that the American public has been
fed on lies" in regard to the anti,
submarine campaign, may lead to an
official investigation.
These charges were made in a let.
ter received by Judge Townsend Scu5,
der Of Brooklyn, from an American
officer with the destroyer fleet. The
officers name was withheld, but IL
was indicated today that the Navy
Department may ask Judge Scudder
to produce the letter and the name of
the man who wrote IL, since the
writer, by implication, accused the
British naval authorities of classifying
the submarine record. Official Brit
ish statements recently declared that
submarine losses had been reduced.
The American officer said the sub
marine situation is so serious that
the truth is being kept from the pub
lie. More ships are being sunk month
ly than can be replaced, he said. and
added that the American public has
been fed on lies for so long that IL
will be doubly difficult to impress 1t
with the facts"
Immediate construction of 100 to
200 destroyers to war on submarines
was urged in the naval officers letter
as this nations duty.

Mr.. Macauley of Shoreham moved
that the meeting acknowledge with APP
probation the many years of service
which had been rendered the Addison
County Agricultural Society by the late
Edgar N. Bissell of Shoreham, who had
held many offices in the society. This
was unanimously passed.
President Thomas of the College who
had dee interest in the Winter Stock
Show, which proved so successful last
year, felt that as promoter of the
show he should, in view OF the financial
condition of the society, move to
abandon the show this year. His motion
was carried, but after some discussion
it was reconsidered in view of the
benefit which many of those present be-
ieved would result from another show.
The chair was accordingly, authorized
by the meeting to appoint committee
to raise 500 for premiums and to go
ahead with the show.
COL Isley concluded the regular
business by moving that the next
Addison County Fair be held in the last
week of August 1878 the dates being
August q, 2S, 20, 80. This was carried
with applause, and Judge Weeks said:

the German government TO prosecupte
DR.. Cohn, socialist member of the

regarding the crown council held at
Potsdam July S, 1914. The newspa-
per says it knows the revelations pub
lished in the London Times came
from Stockholm direct, and from the
German independent socialists and it
offers to give the fullest evidence in
case the government desires TO court g.
martial Deputy Cohn.
(The London Times asserted that a
conference was held "a the presence
of Emperor william at Potsdam July
5, 1914. in which political and mill
tary personages in Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary took part when a plan
was proposed to let loose the war.

said it had been officially authorized
to declare that the statement was a
pure invention. The news agency
said the Times had supported its
contention on statements made by
Deputy Cohn in the main committee
of the reichstag These statements,
it was added. were refuted in commit
tee by the German government as in
correctly
