the stand oyershadowed among members
Iof Congress Saturday night all other de-
velopments in connection with reopening
the hearing. Under resolution adopted
by the House Saturday, the committee is
empowered to compel him to answer any
question. The resolution was drawn at
an executive session of the committee,
hich endeayored to make it broad
enough to cover every possible avenue of
escape from contempt charges for any
witness, and the House, in adopting the
proposal as soon as it was presented, dis
played a willingness to go as far as pos
sible in strengthening the committees
hand.

of written questions now being prepared.
He win be asked, among other things,
to name the congressman who told him
a story about cabinet official, banker
and senator being involved in profit
making conspiracy in connection with
the leak, and also to name the trio
themselves. If the Boston financier fails
to answer, the plan is to cite him for
contempt and give him an opportunity
to make answer before the bar of the
House. Then, If he stands by his re.
fusal, he win be turned over to the SER

AN ENGAGEMENT
Senator Lodge Gives an Ad-
dress at Church Centen-
NAL, the Reason

Washington. D. c., Jan. Is. - The
House of Representatives and historic st
Johns church, across the square from
the White House, furnished chief interest
here Saturday. The House vigorously
authorized an inquiry calculated to bring
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston to time
There is now apparently no alternative
for Mr. Lawson but to answer all ques-
tions about the leak which the committee
on rules may put to him or take punish
ment.
To the Joy of Boston and possibly of
other cities, the House Saturday put
back into the postoifice appropriation
bill a liberal allowance for pneumatic
tubes. The majority was as and presum-
ably this item will be kept in the bill
There has been long contention over this,
and most earnest protests from Boston.
The Senate probably can be depended
upon to ratify the decision of the House.
The completion of the postoffiee bill by
the House is an important task disposed
of.
The Senate did little but talk
through the long afternoon in manner
uninteresting. First, there was discus
sion of the Porto Rican bill, giving citi-
zenship to residents of that island, and
later of the Myers waterpower bill Sen
ator Thomas of Colorado, one of the
long distance artists, filled the afternoon
with an exhaustive speech 1t will be
some time before vote can be reached
on that measure.
Senator Lodge was chief speaker Sat
urday afternoon at the st. Johns church
centennial, his effort having been made
unusually conspicuous because President
Wilson Cancelled an engagement to APP
pear on the same platform The presi-
dents resentment over extreme state
ments made by Senator Lodge about in
ternationai affairs is an open. although
unconfrmed, secret, and is the talk Of
the town. 1t was noted Saturday that
Senator Lodge was not invited to the
recent diplomatic dinner at the White /
House. and this is supposed to have been
for the same reason that President VIII |
son would not speak at Saturdays CEN

GERARD RIGHTLY QUOTED.
State Department at Washington May
Make Statement.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. l5.-~Ambassa-
dor Gerard's much discussed speech on
his return to Berlin, in which he was
quoted as saying that never since the
beginning of the war have the relations
between the United States and Germany
been as cordial as now" was reported
substantially as made, it was said at the
state department at Washington Satur-
day. The text of his speech has been
received and officials declared that on
first examination it appeared to be vir-
tually as contained in the news de-
spatches. The text will be examined
carefully, and il is probable some an
nouncement will be made later. 1t is
stated officially that the departments
request of the ambassador to send his
exact words is in no way rebuke to
him, but is a customary procedure.
Ambassador Gerard's speech has caused
more comment abroad, perhaps, than any
utterance by an American diplomat since
the war began. The German newspapers
attached much significance to it. In gem
cral the German chancellors supporters
and those who look to negotiation for an
early peace approved it, while the chan
cellor's enemies and those urging vigor-
Gus warfare regard his suggestion, that
SO long as the present German officials
continue in power no trouble was likely,
as an undue interference in Germany's
international affairs. Allied press COM
ment divided somewhat similarly.
Officials at Washington felt when the
speech was first reported that the ambas-
sador's words had been overstated. Off

did not represent the true relations be-

quoted the ambassador in substantially
the same way.

PEToS HELD IN $500.
Arraigned in Bellows Falls Charged with

Bellows Falls, Jan. l5.--Andrew Petos
aged 81, was held in 81 800 Saturday fol
his appearance in the April term of the
Windham county court. He appeared be-
fore Judge T. r. O'Brien on case con-
tinued from Monday, charged with lar
ceny of Sss, II pounds of roast pork and
other articles from DIR. F. L. Osgood of
Saxtons River, representative from the
town of Rockingham in the legislature.
The court allowed the admittanee OF
testimony showing that Petos had made
a confession to Chief of Police Severance
and decided that the state had shown
probable cause why he should be held,
Testimony was introduced showing that
Petos had served time in the New Jersey
state reformatory.

BIG ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.
British Government Will Have to Dis
charge 100000 or 5000, 1000 Work
ers When War Ends.

London, Jan. l5.--It is estimated that
between 100000 and 100000 persons
now employed by the British govern.
ment, representing half the wage earning
population of the United Kingdom, will
have to be discharged ut the end of the
war, according to the report of the com
mittee on labor problems after the war.
All these workers will not be discharged
simultaneously, but it is probable that
within two months after peace has been
declared, some 100000 or 100000
workers viii be turned off. Regarding
the army rehabilitation, the committee
calculates that the rate OF disbandment
cannot exceed 5000 daily, at which rate
six months would be occupied in demo
billing less than 100000 of the huge
army.

Frank r. Wilson Writes Sc
ries of Articles for Ben
eft Of the Public

Congress recently enacted a law called
the federal farm losn act which is almost
revolutionary. Few people yet appreci'
ate the fan reaching effect this law will
have. The farm loan act contains pro-
visions of intense interest to every farm
er in the United States; every city resi-
dent who hopes to own a farm; every
tenant who wants to become a land own
er; every resident of city or country
who has money to invest
The farm loan act is little understood.
The Daily Times has made an arrange
ment with Frank X. Wilson of the fed
eral farm loan bureau, Washington, d. C.,
to write a series of six articles explain
ing the important features of this act.
The first of this series appears in the
Daily Times to-day. The subjects of
these six articles will be as follows:
First day-"The Cooperative Banking
Machinery Established Under the Farm
Loan Act"
Second day-"What the Farmer or
Prospective Farmer Must Do to~Get the
Benefits of the Farm Loan Act"
Third day-"Amortization-What 1t
Means and How Applied in the Federal
Farm Loan Act"
Fourth day-"The Farm Loan Act
from the Point of View OF the Investor"
Fifth day-"Effect of the Farm Loan
Act on Tenantry-How the Interest OF
the Farmer Il Safeguarded."

WAR STARTED BY GERMANY.
British View of German and Austrian
Notes to Neutrals.

London, Jan. 10. An authoritative
statement isued Saturday gives the Brit.
ish view of the German and Austrian
notes to neutrals II repeats the asser,
tion that Germany was responsible for
starting the war. inasmuch as the pro-
possl for conference was rejected This
refusal, it is pointed out, was given on
July 27. 1914. while it was not until
July 81 that orders were given for gem
sral mobilization by the Russian govern
ment. The statement deals at length
with the German charge that the pro-
posals Of the allies regarding the rights
of small nationalities lacked sincerity.

GOES TO SUPREME COURT.
Case of Two Guardsmen Who Refused to
Take Federal Oath.

Boston, Jan. l5The questions in
rolyed in the refusal of members of the
National Guard to subscribe to the new
federal oath are to be reviewed by the
United States supreme court. The clerk
of the circuit court of appeals In Boston
was instructed Saturday to forward to
the supreme court certified writ in the
case of Alexander w. Emerson and A. T..
Lowell. both members Of the Massachu-
sets National Guard, who refused to
take the new oath. After a ruling in
their favor by the district court, the
court of appeals held that they were still
subject to military duty under the terms
of their old oaths, basing the finding
largely on the ground Of public policy.
