BERLIN EXPLAINS
 HER WAR ATTITUDE
Could Not Have Done Otherwise
 Than to Mobilize

London Jan. 16, 9:3O a. m.--A semi- official reply has been issued in Der lin in regard to the British view made public here on Saturday, re- garding the latest German and Aus trian notes. This reply, as quoted in an Amsterdam despatch to Reuters, says that the charges made in Eng land regarding German responsibility for starting the war are not new but are repetitions of statements long ago contradicted. The reply then pro- ceeds to ask a series of questions in respect to the diplomatic action of the powers prior to the outbreak of the war.
 It is asserted, among other things that Germany could not have done otherwise than order mobilization, as Russia's suggestion of a reference to the Hague tribunal came, it is said, on the very day that her mobili- zation against Austria Hungary was begun. The reply calls attention to the concentration camps in South Africa, the debates in the Russian duma on the subject of the treatment of foreign nationalities in Russia, the treatment of Jews in Russia and Mo- hammedans in the Caucases, the en- tente attitude towards Greece and treatment of German prisoners of war in Russia. Another question asked in the reply is: "Is not the submarine war merely a reprisal against the British policy of starvation?''

GERMAN HOME ARMY
 PLAN SUCCESSFUL
Almost Entire Population Joins
 Colors Of Industry

Berlin, via London, Jan. 16.--Vol- unteers for Germany's home army are many in number and are volunteer ing so steadily and so fast that com pulsion under the terms of the civil service law of November will not have to be resorted to in the near future and may never be necessary, accord ing to Dr. Kurt Serge in%rthe war bureau. The volume of volunteering. has come frankly, as a pleasant sur prise to the officials. The country has gradually realized that the war bureau intends to enroll civilian work CTS only by slow degrees so as to dis turb legitimate business as little as possible.
 Women, though unaffected by the civil service law, have volunteered in great numbers and the bureau has even had to exert strict check on the youthful population, so large has been the number wanting to leave school in order to work in some way for the Fatherland. Only a small percentage of volunteers has been definitely accepted so far but the ag- gregate is already large enough to re- lease several thousand soldiers week ly. who have been engaged in inter Tor garr1SOn duty, bridge 'Watcnlng service and on posts. These soldiers have been sent into districts close be- hind the front and in turn relieve many more thousands for actual ser vice on the battle line.
 According to Dr. Serge, opposition which the war bureau anticipated at the start from various sources, such as labor unions, has failed absolutely to materialize. On the contrary, he says, the unions are aiding the civil service plan, as are almost all branches of trade. f
 No figures are available as to how many recruits Germany may expect under the home army plan but Dr. Serge believes the original estimate of 100000 to 3,OOO,000 workers was under-guessed in view of the increas- ing cooperation from all quarters.

DROPS EXTRADITION FIGHT

Lawyer Learns Clients, Held As Fuei- tives, Did Not Tell Him Complete !. Story of Money Drawn From Bank.
 Finding that information supplied to him was not in, accord with that contained in the request for extradi- tion, Attorney Gfcenberg withdrew all opposition to the return of Peter so- cha and Mrsr. Michalena Dustak to Toledo, O., for arraignment on charges of forgery. They left New Britain this morning in custody of Detectives A. C. Palicki and Leo Ludwigski of the Toledo department. Extradition papers were signed by Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb yesterday and charges of being fugitives from justice were nolled by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today.
 According to the information fur nished Attorney Greenberg by the Toledo officers, the $500 was in a bank account held in the joint names of the woman and her husband, not to be touched excepting with the writ : ten consent of each. It is alleged that Socha forged the husband's 8 name, visiting the bank in company with his fair companion, who claimed that he was her husband, Joseph. They were trailed to New Britain through "a trunk shipped directly here from Toledo.

RAISE FOR FTREMEN.
Question Coming Up at Tonight's
 Safety Board Meeting.


 Action towards properly placing be- fore the common council the petition of the permanent f1remen for an in crease of fifteen per cent. in their salaries will be taken up at a meeting of the safety board tonight ana :s ex- pected to be the principal business for discussion. Chairman F. G. Babcock believes that the petitioners are justi- fled in asking for the increase and said today that he will favor it. The atti- tude of Commissioners Howard M. Steele and Frank J. Moran is not known.
 Something has got to be done, says Chairman Babcock, to make service in the local fire department more at- tractive, if the present high efficiency is to be maintained Something is radically wrong when it is found prac- tically impossible to get suitable can didates while in other, cities there are many candidates for every vacancy and a wealth of good material.
 Chairman Babcock admits that rumprs have reached him that the men at headquarters are far from satisfied over overcrowded conditions there and believe that something should be done to remedy it. He and Chief Dame have been in a quandry as to how to properly house the men. station the apparatus and provide the recreation facilities that are provided by every other city. .

QUERIES FROM THE
 SUPERNUMERARIES 1 f
Fourth Dimension Easy in Con- : parison to Their Problems

M Forty-seven supernumerary police men would like to know: q Why they are refused permission by Chairman Babcock of the board of public safety to have a committee ap- pear before the board to explain their reasons for requesting an in crease in wages,
 z Why Chief Rawlings likewise re- fuses to sanction the appearance of this committee, ...f
 : Why Chairman Babcock carried in his pockets for five months petition from them for an increase in pay # And
 N Why supernumerary policemen are not treated like human beings.
 There are other mysteries becloud- ing the minds of some of the super numeraries. For instance, they would like to know why some members of sthe force are given the cream of the gnight work at dance halls, theaters, etc. And where the fifty cents they turn in from every nights work at dance halls goes. ...
 According to information supplied the Herald today, Chairman Babcock carried in his pocket for five months the petition of the supernumeraries for better wages and did not produce 1t until he learned that the force was to have meeting to speed up the pe- tition. The paper was produced at the meeting of the safety board a week ago tonight. All the super numeraries ask, is that a committee be permitted to present their side of
 
 man Babcock declares he will not sanction the appearance of the com mittee unless Chief Rawlings gives his O.. K. This Chief Rawlings re- fuses to do.
 t Under the present schedule, the su- pernumeraries receive $2.50 night whether they are substituting for a regular policeman or on duty at a dance. As substitutes they are al lowed to keep the $2.50 but when they are on duty in hall they are re- uuired to turn in fifty cents. Thus far they have not been able to learn where the fifty cents goes or why this tax is levied.
 A supernumerary is forced to pro. vide himself with uniform and other equipment peculiar to police duty He must patrol a beat, run the risks that regular officer faces, and, ir case of making an arrest, he must appear in police court the following morning as a witness. For this he receives no remuneration and loses half a day in the shop or wherever he Is employed. And to cap the eli. max, the supernumeraries find theil mouths gagged by official red tape when they decide to ask for an In. crease in pay from $2.50 to $2.75.
