NEW WAR THEORY
Morris Hillquit Says U. S. Saved
Kaiser From Fall.

fNdiSSi iOti oiis
New York, Oct. 22,--The Hohenzol-
lern dynasty would have been over
thrown several months ago by the
German people if the United States
had not entered the war said Morris
Hillquit, socialist candidate for may
or, at an east side rally.
Before the United States entered
the war the German people were very
much in revolt against their rulers"
he said. my own belief is the
Kaiser and the Junker party thought
they could save their dynasty by di
verting the peoples mind to danger
abroad. With the democratic ex-
ample of Russia and the suffering of
the German people themselves, the
German nation would have risen
against the Kaiser but for our inter
ference The Germans hate the
Kaiser as much as we do. In making
our campaign against the continuance
of the war, we socialists are really
performing patriotic service"
Hillquit denounced recent police in
vasion OF socialist meetings, suppress
sion of foreign language periodicals
which attacked the administration
and the search of private houses by
secret service men as acts of auto
cratic as those of Car of Russia.
Asked by heckler how he would
handle a street car strike if mayor,
Mr.. Hillquit answered that he would
make the police protect the strikers,
even when the latter were picketing.
"The police shouldn't be obliged to
act merely as scab-protecters, as they
are generally obliged to do. 1t is an
insult to the police to make them do
this Mr. Hillquit said.

DO BEST THEY CAN
Supt. Greene Of Trolley Road Makes
an Explanation.


an Explanation.
Editor OF Tie Banner; saw an
article in the Banner dated Oct. 18th,
referring 10 -@4-s sliey ss-sgice OF
that night, and then one later refer
ring to what happened last Wednes-
day night. We regret that our pat
rons were put out Monday night be-
cause the trolley did not wait. Usu-
ally we are requested by those hay
ing the meeting or entertainment in
charge, to hold the car for them, but
in this case no request was made and
the car crew did not wait as they
should when they knew of the meet
ine.
Wednesday night was different,
arrangements were made in advance
with this Office, by the people having
the meeting in charge, to have the
car held until 1915. II was held un.
til fifteen minutes later BY the crew
on their own responsibility or until
IL D. m. the people were notified that
car was about to leave.
Your second correspondent refers
back to the 4th OF July We arrang-
ed the best we could for that day, but
it is my recollection that the crowd
unexpectedly started earlier than we
expected and they all wanted to go
at once.
We are making every effort to give
the best service that we can with
the means that We have and the
money that we can earn. Our fare is
the same as it was before the cost
of living went up so high. We
can't always know in advance when
the crowd will be large or when II
will accommodate quite number to
hold car. We have held cars hun
dreds of times to favor few but
that was not mentioned to our credit.
Our crews have instructions to hold
last cars little when necessary to
take care of the traffic. For a while
we will have the last car out of
Bennington week day nights leave
Main street switch at 1885 and see
what patronage it gets, making us an
extra and later trip between Ben
nington and North Bennington.

WHICH ONES NOT TOLD

Camp Devens, Aver. Mass, Oct. 81
Singing Marching through Georg-

Aver" several hundred boys bade
farewell to camp one day this week.
Smiling and cheering, the troopers
clambered aboard the coaches happy
in the thought they will spend the
greater part of winter training in a
warm southern climate.
Rousing farewells were given the
troopers. Headed by the depot bri-
gade band and drum corps, brigade of
ficers and an armed escort, the boys
marched from their barracks down
through the cantonment to the rail-
road sidings, way over on the east
side of camp. The band played roll
licking airs. The boys sang as they
waited for the train TO start.
Immediately after the company
commanders picked the men TO go to
Camp Gordon, they were ordered to
appear before barracks, where they
were instructed to get ready. Addi-
tional clothing was issued Then the
troopers hustled to sleeping quarters
where they packed all their belong
ings in the blue denim barrack bags
Following breakfast they We're lined
in company formation outside, bags
slung rakishly over their shoulders.
Noncommissioned officers separat-
ed the detachments into squads on ar
irving al the tracks. There again roll
was called and the different groups
were assigned to Keats.
The selection oahlneTi going south
with the next contingent win start in
the next contingent will start in the
next few days. The officers intend
picking the boys ahead OF time. so
the great mass of clerical work en-
tailed with the sending south may be
handled without pushing the clerks.
Camp Bartlett. Oct 25.-The pos
sibility of Col Roosevelt's being Civ
en- authority to recruit the skeleton
division, in camp here, to war
strength for active service abroad
was prominent subject OF discus
sion among officers and men today.
They eagerly read newspaper reports
VI tHC iuONCilcHJ W lHio Gnu, hOHS
more so than Washington dispatches
in the evening papers which said that
the war department was disposed to
grant the request of the New Eng
land governors who will formally
state their case tomorrow in the
capitol
Even military officers, who sever
al months ago opposed giving the
colonel commission" the dispatches
stated, were inclined today to favor
such action" No officer here at camp
will permit himself to be quoted on
the subject, but privately they ex-
press the greatest enthusiasm for the
project.

BIG PAY FOR U-BOAT MEN.
Germans Reward Crews According
to Values of Ships.

AMSTERDAM. via London. April g.
The frontier correspondent of the Tele-
craft suggests that the recklessness
shown by German submarines is due to
the big financial rewards offered the
crews by the German government. The
men who man the submarines get 10
ner cent higher pay than those of any
other branch of the national service and
receive in addition substantial bonuses.
FIFTY per cent of the value of a cap
tured ship is distributed among her
captors, ) per cent to the commander
of the submarine 5 to the chief engi-
ncer Is to the remaining officers and
25 to the crew. Percentages for tor
pedced ships are based on the insur-
ance value of the vessel. In these
cases the submarine commander gets
| per cent, the chief engineer l, the re-
manning officers and the crew 10.
There are also extra rewards for special
exploits.

RELIEF SHIPS THEIR PREY

LONDON, April 9. $3.50 p.m.-The loss
of the Norwegian steamship Camilla,
the sinking of which without warning
was announced Saturday. brings up to
four the number of Belgian relief ships
torpedoed within four days. The ships
were CARRYING a total of 1900 tons of
foodstuffs. The number of relief ships
torpedoed since February l is seven.
In addition to these. three We're fired OF!
and escaped.
All the relief ships which were sunk
were torpedoed without warning in
broad daylight. They bore the ful!
markings of the American commission
for relief in Belgium. and safe conduct
passes, issued by the Swiss minister in
Washington. on behalf of the German
government. All the ships were outside
the war zone. on a line guaranteed by
the German authorities to be safe for
the commissions vessels.
The Germans refused to guarantee the
safe passage of ships from United King
dom ports to Rotterdam, thereby tying
up here 100000 tons of foodstuffs which
cannot be sent to Belgium AS conse-
quence of thesc acts the commission was
able to deliver only 2+,000 tons at Rot
terdam in February and 10000 tons in
March, If no more ships are sunk $4,000
tons will arrive in April as against the
monthly requirement of 10000 tons
necessary 10 MAINTAIN n1lllllluHl 1dtlOIS
Thus in three months the Belgian and
French population of the occupied terri
tories will have been deprived of more
than 27O.000 tons of food as result of
the submarine war
Representatives of the American COM
mission state that no words can eX-
press their indignation over these gross
violations of solemn engagements en-
tered into by Germany and guaranteed
to the Dutch. Swiss and Spanish gov
arnmQntS The loss of life of innocent
and unarmed seamen engaged in a hu-
manitarian mission and complying with
every requirement, they declare. is
wrong exceeded only by the tragedy of
the added suffering imposed on the 10,
100000 persons in the occupied district.
The commission has requested the
State Department at Washington to
protest through the Swiss minister
against the violation of the undertak-
ings to protect these ships.
