GERMANS DEFY
SHIP OFFICERS
Interned Crews Refuse to
Recognize Authority Of
Their Superiors.

Asheville. N. c.. Oct. 8.-when a
North Dakota troop train passed the
United States immigrant station at
Hot Springs. near here, recently. the
soldiers on their way to the front
yelled at a group Of interned Germans:
We're going to get your Kaiser and
throw him In with YOU"
To this the Germans shouted back
this surprising reply:
That's all right. We don't like
him any more than you do"
Although this Is only an incident. Il
is significant Of the great change that
has recently come over 100 of the
crews OF the German merchant ships
that have been seized by the United
States government, who. with 500 Of
ficers OF those ships. are interned at
the station.
The men have revolted against the
authority OF the captain. mates, engis
neers and petty officers who formerly
commanded them. They refuse to
obey them and deride the officers
furious but futile threats against
them.
The bitter feeling existing between
the two classes has become SO marked
that the United States officials have
been compelled to recognize II. and
now officers and ordinary seamen have
separate quarters and grounds. Re-
Gently fifty ship officers who arrived
at the camp from the East were sent
on to Atlanta because there was no
room for them in the officers build
ing. yet there was then, 1t is said, a
vacant barrack in the mems quarters
Everything Is still the same except
the attitude Of the men toward the Of
fcers. and what definite cause
changed this no one can prove. Ger
tainly It was not suggested by the few
visitors allowed in camp. because
these were not permitted to talk to the
Germans.

Copenhagen, Oct. H.-Some of the
things the German people face this

German newspapers as follows:
There is only enough leather for

old-fashioned snowstorm.
Mica is then sprinkled over this cot
ton to enhance the effect. Place the
large star at the topmost branch of the
tree. Next find the best branches for
setting the candle holders on. To place
candles effectively is quite an art in
itself, and only the most prominent tips
should be used to point" the tree, as it
We're. After the candle holders are in
place, suspend from each an "icicle" of
glass, such as can be bought by tile
dozen.
Now begin the looping of the tree
with the largest chains of silver balls,
being careful to loop evenly, catching
up each section on the branches in such
a way as to emphasize the tips and get
symmetrical effect. Next fasten the
small silver ornaments where they look
best, filling out the tree and adding to
the balanced effect.
Last take the strands of the silver
thread (such as comes in packages)
and, beginning at the star, let this
"rain" pour down from the star and
fling misty cloak of silver all over

A WHITE TREE
Why Not Have eIIstenIng Evergreen,

Why Not Have a GIIstenlng Evergreen,
This Year,
A suggestion for an original trim
ming for the all-important tree comes
from a>traveler In Russia. Instead OF
tree with colored ornaments, this
scheme remains all In white. To carry
II out requires white trimmings, as fol-
lows:
Asbestos snow.
White glass icicles.
Powdered mica snow.
Silver tinsel and silver thread.
Large white silver paper star about
eight to ten inches In diameter.
Silver glass ornaments, particularly
balls and small novelties.
Silver paper candy containers In
form Of animals, dolls, etc.
White candles In plain, inconsplcu-
Gus holders.
The usual fir tree Is the basis, but at
once the trunk is carefully wrapped
with the asbestos snow TO make 1t APP

the tree. To do this it must be divided
and not used thickly in one strand.
The largest star at the top should be
almost buried in the thread, the effect
being to get it to resemble a star which
"twinkles" or which is seen through
misty light.
When finished the tree should look
like silvery, snowy fir tree standing
in its own environment, but lit up and
made respondent by some inner Christ
mas glory. 1t is indeed a novelty and
a soothing, peaceful tree of beauty. by
which some of the overdressed and
colorful trees suffer by comparison.
Its whole success lies in the careful
symmetry of the trimming and the use
OF small ornaments Of similar size.

SEEK TO RAISE NEW UNITS
Vermont Among States Ready to Start

Judge Acknowledgement Crowder
has decided that the states have an
undisputed right to create new units
until the authorized strength of 500

obtained. The war department there.
fore recognizes this legal right, but
has pointed out TO the state authori-
ties that neither money nor equipment
is available for such new units. ~
The governors of these 20 states
have asked permission to organize ad-
ditional forces: Ohio. Indiana, Yer

Army officers strongly approve of
the policy laid down by Secretary
Baker. They declare it is futile to
create new units when the majority Of
those existing are below peace
strength. They also point out that
their formation would mean that a
large number Of men would be com

SEVERELY BURNED
UISHING
GRASS FIRE
C D. Phillips of aorth bennington
Victim OfPeCuIiar CCident
FALLS INTO BLAZING RtFU E
Attempted TO Check Flames Of Bonfire
Which Had Gotten Beyond Con-
troll Yesterday Afternoon.

Charles d. Phillips, one Of the high
ly respected citizens of North Ben
nington was severely burned while at.
tempting to put out fire in the dead
grass in the rear OF his home on Me-
chanic street, North Bennington. The
backs of his legs and thighs were so
severely blistered that sections of skin
peeled away, his ears were scorched
at the top and his eye brows were
burned off.
Early yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Phillips granddaughter, Mrs. Harry
NJ. Goodermote, started fire in the
( yard back of the house to burn col
lection of rubbish. The wind carried
the flames into the dead grass and
realizing that the fire was beyond her
control, Mrs. Goodermote hurried into
the house for assistance. She tele-
phoned the Cushman Manufacturing
plant where her husband is employed
and hurriedly informed him of the
trouble at home.
Mr.. Phillips has been i'll for several
months and had sufficiently recovered
so as to be out of doors this week for
the first time. At the time his grand.
daughter telephoned to Mr.. Gooder-
mote he was only partially dressed in
a bathrobe. Mr.. Phillips rushed from
the house to the fire and as he did SO
stumbled and fell into the blazing
grass. The infiammable material in
the bathrobe caught fire and in order
to extinguish the flames it was neces-
sary to throw several pals OF water
over the unfortunate man.
Mr.. Goodermote, who had arrived
from the shop on the run was able to
lend assistance in what would other
wise have been fatal accident. The
deepest burns were found to be on the
hips. Mr.. Phillips was sitting on the
ground when assistance arrived and
the water which was used to ex-
tinguish the fire did not reach the
burning cloth between him and the
ground.
Physicians were called Immediately
and the victim of the accident was
made as comfortable as possible. His
recovery is likely to be slow because
of his age and his physical condition
which has not been of the best for
several months.
Mr.. Phillips is one of the oldest
residents of North Bennington and
has been identified with the public af-
fairs of the community for more than
half century. He has been clerk
of the village for 43 years, resigning
at the last annual village meeting. He
has held town and village Offices and
has been prominent in the activities
of the Masonic order, He has a host
of friends in this village as well as at
North bennington who will sympa-
thize with him in his misfortune and
who hope for his complete and early
recovery

FOR WAR VOTED
BY SENATE
Largest Single Budget in History
of Government
BILL HAS NO OPPOSITION
Conference With House Made Neces-
sary by Few Minor Amendments
Proposed.

Washington, April 1s.-The war
finance bin, providing for issuance of
$1,000, 100000 in securities-the larg-
est single war budget in any nation s
history-was passed unanimously last
night by the Senate. After seven
hours of discussion, the adIninistra-
tion measure, which was passed by
the House last Saturday and which
provides for loan to the allies of $3,-
000,000,000, was approved by the Sen
ate with few changes in record time.
The amendments may necessitate a
conference or the Senate changes may
be accepted by the House.
In either event the executive branch
of the government conducting the war
with Germany will, within a few
hours, have authorization for the
great war chest at its disposition. To
expedite action the Senate last night
appointed conferees to act if the
House should not, contrary to expecta-
tions, accept the Senate changes.
OF the "a senators present last
night every one, including all those
who voted against war except Senator
Lane of Oregon, who was absent be-
cause of illness, recorded themselves
in favor of providing the funds to
prosecute hostilities. Nearly all of
the IL absentees were i'll. 4.

PREVENTION OF oAT SMUT
Demonstrations Arranged by Benning-
ton County Farm Bureau.

The county agent has arranged for
meetings on the farms listed below to
demonstrate the treatment of seed
oats to prevent smut. On many farms
in the county last year the loss from
smut alone was more than $50. Farm
ers can not afford to take such
chances of loss when the cost of treat
ment is less than cent bushel for
material and the labor of treating
amounts to very little.
The dates for the meeting and the
farms on which they are to be held
are as follows:
