SAT ON EDGE OF ROOF
 THREATENING SUICIDE
While Priests ParIeyed With Woman, the Congregation Prayer for Her.

Boston, June 3.-A woman sat on the edge of the roof of St. James Roman Catholic church, threatening suicide for more than two hours to- day while three priests parleyed with her through a skylight, a congregation at mass below prayed that she might be stayed from her purpose, police re- serves attempted to reach her and fire men spread life nets to arrest what would have been a 75-foot fa-l had she jumped. At each effort of the police and firemen to approach her, the wom al shouted that she would drop from the roof if they came nearer.
 After much persuasion, Rev. Philip J. ODonnell prevailed on her to leave her dangerous position and eventually she was escorted back through the sky light.
 At the psychopa thic hospital later she said she was Mrs. Celia Vennard, a parishioner of St. James church. Relatives. she said, were trying to have her committed to an insane asylum and she intended to kill herself rather than submit
Norwich bulletin., 1917-06-04

today's Dyen, Baron Rosen, former Russian ambassador to the United States and former member of the | Council of the Empire, suggests as a present chaotic condition a diplomatic conference with the entente allies to determine a possible basis for peace with the central powers. The original aims of the war-the complete ruin of the enemy-have become hopeless, re declares, and the war promises to de velop into slow process of more or
 less general exhaustion of both sides.
 Russia is on the edge of a preci-
 pice," says Baron Rosen in his decla-
 ration. Safety demands that she
 find an exit before the growing anarchy
 wrecks the country. She must say
 truth in the eye. The watchword of
 war to the end must be considered in the light of conditions.
 Conditions Becoming Worse.
 Those conditions are becoming worse with increasing disorganization The enemy well as the allies are informed of that fact. We are run ming the risk of being abandoned by the allies or left to the necessity of making a shameful peace if we defer following the only course conformable with dignity and honor. We must abandon the use of words which mean nothing clear and definite and begin diplomatic conference with the allies and the Cnited States which has joined the coalition and find out what conditions of peace will satisfy them and at the same time be in ac cordance with the spirit of the decla- ration of the temporary government and the principles proclaimed by President Wilson,
 Baron Rosen acknowledges that Rus sia is late with such a diplomatic suggestion which, in his opinion, should have followed President Will sons appeal to the belligerent coun- tries. At that time. however, the gov erning classes of all the countries were so intent upon the idea of the com plete ruin of the enemy. he comments, that no government could assert it's readiness to solve the problems of the war by conferences.
 Thus he adds, "an unfortunate sit uation was created. an exit from which was possible only by the injunction of a new and powerful factor-the Rus sian revolution In this consists it's great world importance. The Rus sian democracy was the first to have | the courage to say aloud the definite | word which freed everybody from the | bloody hypnosis under which the na- 1 ton labored for nearly three years"

 The young men of the country who come within the provisions of the conscription act are brave and inher ently loyal. They are ready and will ing, in nearly every instance. to an swer to the nations call and to do their part in protecting it from a for eign foe.
 Prompt Punishment for Evaders.
 Those who attempt to evade will be promptly punished and compelled to perform the service required by the law. It is the duty of this depart ment to prosecute these evaders and it Is prepared to do so."
 Officers of the National Committee of PatriotieN and Defense Societies is- sued today ar appeal to the million and a half members of their organi- zations to carry out the spirit and the letter of the presidents registra- tion proclamation.
 Both Men and Women to Do Their
 Specifically, the appeal asks that everyone subject to regiStra ton pres ent himself for registration early in the day-that those who are not sub ject, both men and women, do their bit by seeing that those subject to registration do register, and that eva sions be reported to the local board of registration.
 How Poles Should Register.
 It was explained at the provost mar shal's ofpce that men of Polish nativ- ity- subject to the registra tion act, who were born in sections of Poland now held by Germany or Austria, should register on June as natives of Poland claimed by Germany or by Austria as the case may be and not as Germans or Austrians

U.S AviatOrS to
 Train in France
TWO SQUADRON AVIATION FIELD
 TO BE CONSTRUCTED
FRENCH INSTRUCTORS
Final Training Will be in French Bat tie PIanes-France and Great Brit ain Expect Air Work to be One of Americas Greatest Contributions.

Washington, June 3.-Contracts have 1 tracts have been awarded to an Amer ican firm for the construc ctionN Of a two squadron aviation field in France where American army f1iers will re- ceive final Separation before taking their place at the front. The aircraft production board of the National De fence Council announced today that the site had been selected and that all construction material would be shipped from this country to make the field an exact duplicate of simi- lar fields now being equipped here for the army.
 Training in French Battle Planes
 Final training will be in French battle planes and under French in structors. As yet the United States has produced no airplanes of sufficient power and speed for use al the front been developed to that point, foreign built craft will be used by American f1iers for battle purposes.
 500 Aviators Can Train.
 The announcement was made in a statement issued by the committee on Howard E.. Coffin of the board de- scribes the progress there is being made with development of aviators and aircraft in the United States. Three training fields will be sc near completed by July 20 that 50e student avia can begin their training in actual flight by that time.
 AS new airmen leave American fields at the end of their four months training" the statement says, they will fly to the Atlantic coast and eIn- bark for France. On French soil, un- der French instructors and with the French machines, they will complete their preparation for actual work at the front
 Allies Expect Aircraft snd Aviators.
 France and Great Britain have made it plain again and again that they expect aircraft and aviators to be one of Americas greatest contri- buttons to success in the war. The government can now say that it is actually embarked on the task of over coming it's present difficulty in nili- tary aviation. We believe that the outlook promises a c~Iic'- development of the latent air resources of America military history of the world.
 Fields Now Under Construction.
 The three aviation fields now un- der construction are at Dayton, Ohio; Detroit, Mich, and Champagne, Ills, and nothing is being permitted to de- lay their rapid completion.
 The Dayton field is the largest pro- jected and will house four squadrons instead of the usual two. The hang ars will house IA aeroplanes and 300 cadet students can be trained there at a time. Including officers. enlisted men. instructors and workmen, there will be in all 1,700 or more persons at the school which lies within the state owned conservation territory of about 30 900 acres.

CONCERTED ATTACK BY TWO
 GERMAN SUBMARINES
On American Line Steamship kroon
 land on Her Last Outward Trip.

New York, June 3.-Two German submarines made a concerted torpedo attack on the American line steamship Kroonland on her last outward voyage from this port, firing four torpedoes, two of which hit the liner glancing blows, but did not explode. according to a report brought here today by an American, recently in England, who said he was told of the attack by an officer of the ship.
 The liner was nearing the British coast, the American was informed when two torpedoes, fired from oppo site sides of the vessel from submerged U-boats, were seen. Both torpedoes missed the bow of the ship by less than 20 feet. The Kroonland was al- ready going at high speed and the navigating officer on the bridge gave orders to zigzag. Quickly two more torpedoes were launched This time the aim of the Germans was better, but the missiles barely touched the sides of the liner but the blows were not sufficiently direct to explode the contact detonators in the torpedoes.
 The naval gunnerS on the Kroonland opened fire at the unseen targets, send ing explosive shells into the water al the point where it was judged the sub- mersibles were when the torpedoes were launched, but so far as known no hits were recorded

GERMAN COLD FLOODED
 TREATMENT OF BELGIANS
Systematic Economic Exhaustion of
 Belgium is the Aim.

Washington, June 2.-In a memo . randur1 presented by Minister de Car tier and made public by the state de- partment today, the Belgian govern rnent asserts that Germany's industrial strargulation of occupied Belgium, and of Polish and Lithuanian territory, followed by slavery of the conquered people, has been carried on under a plan worked out in cold blood dur ing August. 1914, by Dr. w. Rath- nau, of Berlin.
 This is in answer to Germauys claim that the deDGS tation of Belgians for enforced labor was military and economic necessity. Moreover, re- plying to the German statement that deportations have ceased it is de- clared that they continue, without care for the seeds of hate that are sown in the hearts of the victims and those near and dear tothem and which threaten to render all social inter- course impossible, perhaps for cen turies- between two important portions Of the peoples Of Europe"
 The general headquarters at Rer- lin, it is charged. decreed the systema- tic economic exhaustion of Belgium on the Raehnau idea for the exploitation pied territories by the German war machine. stifed Belgium competitive industries for the benefit of German industries by the wholesale removal of ma 'hinery and raw material by un- just seoUestration and by Drohibitive tariffs; hled the country by war taxes of over a billion francs and by other financial disabilities: prevented relief for the unemployed thus created by forbidding public work and technical instructio1; and finally made their en- forced idlenesS the excuse for deport- ing them like cattle to Germany or to the firing line to serve in war work against their own brothers.

NO GERMAN POLITICAL
 INFLENCE IN VENEZUELA
Denial of Overtures for a Submarine
 Base Off the Coast.

Washington. June s.-Published re- ports of German Overtures for a sub marine base on the island of Marga- rita off the Venezuelan coast drew a statement tonight from Minister De- minici denouncing the story as false, chara cterizing talk of German politi- cal influence in Venezuela as nonsense and declaring that no circumstandes would arise to change the friendly at titude of his country toward the Unit ed States.
 Honor and dignity force on Vene- zueIa an attitude of neutrality in the present war; he said, but this neu- traIitv is most friendly towards the United States. The Venezuelan gov ernment never for a minute would consider granting a submarine base to Germany.
 This story probably grows out of the German blockade of the Venezue- Ian coast in 1902 when it was said the intention of Germany was to take the island. The Venezuelan people armed themselves and were determined to defend il by the force of arms. Now as then any similar attempt would find the government and people of Venezuela ready to defend every foot of Venezuelan territory"
