Confession to Officials Here
Gets Clemency for Ger

New York, March 26.-Sentence of a
year and a day In the federal peniten-
tiary in Atlanta and a fine of 81 was
passed in the federal court here today
on George vaux Bacon, American
newspaper man, who pleaded guilty to
going to England as a spy for Ger
many.
Bacon admitted that he was hired
to go to England by Albert o. Sander
and Charles H. Wunnenberg, two
Germans he met in this city. They
gave him some sympathetic invisible
ink to use in sending information as
to civil and military conditions in
England secretly to German agents in
Holland to be forwarded to Germany,
While performing this work in Eng
land, Bacon was arrested and sem
fenced to be hanged, but on his prom
Use to tell all he knew to the United
States government he was pardOned

The evidence he gave resulted in
the arrest here Of Sander and Wun-
nenberg, who both pleaded guilty last
week to setting military expedition
afoot in this country against a friend

years in Atlanta and fined $4,000.

VOL LATfONS OF
ANCIENT TREATY

United States Gives Reasons
for Refusal to Renew or

Washington, March 26..-Germany's s
"clear violations of the treaties of
1893 and 1928, and her disregard Of
the canons of international courtesy
were assigned by the United States as
reasons for refusal to reaffirm or ex-
tend these agreements. The note of
refusal to Germany transmitted
through DR.. Paul Ritter, the Swiss
minister, was made public today by
state department and disclosed that
this government sis seriously consld-
ering whether Germany's conduct has
not in effect abrogated these treaties
The note says:

the German authorities of the plain
terms of the treaties in question, SOL

derstanding tina tthe obligations there

and the revised articles of the treaties
of 1885 and 1893 have not been in

SEVEN HUNDRED
GERMAN SAILORS
TAKEN TO FORTS
Crews of Interned Liners
Removed From Navy !
Yard Under Guard.

Philadelphia, March 26-The seven
hundred members of the crews of the
German auxiliary cruisers Kronprinz
Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
interned at the Philadelphia navy
yard, since last October, started to-
day under heavy guard of marines
for Fort Oglethorpe and Fort Nc
Pherson, Ca, VIII ere they will be kept
until further orders from Washing
ton.
A large crowd, held back by a. cor
don of marines and 500 Philadelphia
policemen, saw the departure of the
sailors.
A section of the fence of the navy
yard had been removed and through
this opening the German sailors
marched to the cars. Marines stood
guard from the ships to the trains.
When Capt. Thierichsen Of the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, Capt Thierfeldt of
the Kronprinz Wilhelm, and Lieut.
Berg, who brought the British steamer
Appam into the Chesapeake capes
year ago, left the ships they were
given a hearty cheer 10y the sailors
There were no untoward incidents
during the transfer The second train
started south at $3.50 a. m.
IA skeleton crew has been left aboard
each cruiser, barely enough to wash
down decks and otherwise keep the
ships clean.
The sailors had kept things lively
at the navy yard ever since their ar
rival. The ships were transferred to
the Philadelphia navy yard from the
Norfolk yard last fall On their ar
rival here the sailors set about build
ing a complete German village. It
contained many. small buildings in
which hundreds of the sailors lived
The community also included
church.
During their stay here the sailors
made many friends among the Ger
of the city. They had
the same shore liberty allowed to
American sailors and marines. With
the announcement of Germany's pur-
pose to wage ruthless submarine
warfare the men were restricted to the
navy yard.
Chatting under the confinement, the
Germans became restless and the navy

from Mayor Smith and other citizens

decided to remove them to the Geor-
gia forts.
No trace has been found of the sail
ors who escaped last week.

MILITARY TRAINING SCHOOL
PLAN OF MAJOR ]. J. HURLEY
IN CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Major James J. Hurley expects to-
day to receive reply from Adjutant-
General George M Cole regarding his
application for the use Of the State
Armory for headquarters for recruit
ing or the regiment Of volunteers he
proposes to raise. Major Hurley wants
to raise regiment of infantry in
Fairfield county for service in case war
is declared.
Although the major has received no
reply from the adjutant general he is
going about his plans for recruiting
and is getting in touch with retired
military men in Norwalk, Danbury,
Stamford and other towns in the coun-
ty. These officers are to aid him in
procuring recruits. Although the
United States government has full jur-
isdiction over any troops to be taken
into the service and the plan Of the
war department is to designate what
units are required and the branches
of the service they shall fill, yet Major
Hurley says that if war is declared
an army Of at least 100000 men will
be called.
This will mean that Fairfield county
must furnish several regiments of In
fantry. The military forces of the
county at present is mainly Coast Ar
tillery. Recruiting is going on for
these organizations but in Maj. Hur-
ley's volunteers no one will have to
enlist unless war is declared. In that
instance the major believes he can
raise his regiment inside of a week
and he feels sure all his volunteers
-
military duty will be acceptedA
Abdjutant General Cole said yester-
day that he F1ed. not received an ap-
plication from MAJ Hurley and exy
plained that. there were>e number Of
considerations. The United States
government had full jurisdiction over
troops to be taken into government
service. Just how the war department
would look upon effort by Major Hur-
ely to raise a regiment in Fairfield
county, General Cole could not say
offhand.
The Farmer received the following
communication today from Major
Hurley:
Relying on your patriotism I
am writing to ask you to devote
space to the following eommuni-
cation setting forth the purposes
of the volunteer regiment of in
fantry in which I have the honor
to ask all Americans to enroll
(and when I say Americans I
mean everybody of whatever ma
: ton who are citizens of the great
est and grandest government on
Gods foot stool.) First, I wish
to impress the public that there
the men who enroll, for a term Of
days, months or years, until the
Secretary of War issues a call for
volunteers at which time all will
be asked to enlist in defense of
the colors and everybody whose
veins are full of good red blood
instead of icicles would prefer to
voluntary enlist than to be forced

IN NEWTOWN
Statement From the Only Physicians
in the Town-No Serious Results
From Vaccination

We, the undersigned, the only ply
sicians in Newtown, were dumbfound-
ed when we read the news item in the
Bridgeport Farmer Saturday evening,
stating that one out of every eight in
this town were laid low by vaccina-
ton; that Arthur j. Smith has been
seriously i'll during the last three days
and is cared for by two nurses and a
physician. The whole article is preg-
nant of sensationa1ism and is a gross
and malicious misrepresentation Of
facts
There have been absolutely no seri-
GUS results from vaccination in this
town. Arthur, J. Smith remained at
home one day and has been at work
all the rest of the time. There have
been no nurses in attendance. There
has been no peril of tetanus looming
UP as The Farmer states. The cpl
demic is traced directly to Waterville
and could have been avoided by vac
cination. None Of those suffering
from the disease in Newtown have
ever been vaccinated, with one excep-
ton, and that a woman of 60, was pos
sibly vaccinated in childhood.
AS members Of the medical profess
sion, interested in the welfare of the
community, we deplore and condemn
any such wilful Misrepresentation as
those contained in the article in The
