the United States, who thus far are the only members of the peace con gress. The non-arrival of the others has been the subject of considerable surprise and adverse comment, the Americans taking the ground that . they are here ready to proceed to business but with the personnel of the congress not yet announced. It is un- derstood that President Wilson's visit to England is likely to result in con- veying quite definitely the view that it is highly desirable that the congress should be put into motion with the least possible delay.
 While the personnel of few delega tions have been announced, unofficial advices indicate that most Of them will be formed substantially as fol- lows:
 Belgium-Paul Hymans, foreign ter of justice; Baron Van Den Heuvel, minister to the Vatican.
 POrtugal-Senhor Egas Moniz. For eign Minister Espirito Santo Lima, Senhor Friere de Andrade, Senhor Santos Viga and Augusta Vasconcel- los. minister of the colonies.
 Brazil--NilO Pecanba, foreign min ister; Ruy BarbOsa, Admiral Huet Ba- cellar and General Thompowsky.
 Japan-Viscount Chinda, ambassa- dor to Great Britain; Baron Matsui, ambassador to France. and two other delegates now on their way to Paris.
 Serbia-Nikola P. Pachitch, pre- mier; Dr. NJ. R. Vesnitch and Dr. Cum bitch.
 Greece-Premier Venizelos and NJ. Politis. foreign minister
 Italy-Premier Orlando, Baron Con- nino, foreign minister; LeOnida Bis solati-Bergamaschi, minister of mill. tary aid and war pensions; General Diaz, commander in chief of the Ital- ian army; Admiral Paolo Thaon di Revel, former chief of the naval taff.
 Great Britain-David Lloyd George, prime minister; Arthur J. Balfour, for ign secretary; Andrew Bonar Law. chancellor of the exchequer, and George Nikol Barnes, labor member of the war cabinet, and one other dele gate who has not yet been designat- ed. It. Gen. J. G. Shuts and General Botha, representing South Africa, are expected to accompany the British delegation, in which probably also will be representatives of Canada, Australia and India.
 France-M. Clemenceau. premier; Stephen PichOn, foreign minister. and three others who have not yet been announced although the names of those mentioned as probable members include Leon Bourgeois, former pre- mier; Jules Cambon, general secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs; and Opt. Andre Tardieu, head Of the gen. eral commission for Franco-American war matters of former Premier Aris- tide Briand.
 The foregoing delegations comprise those of virtually all of the European countries which have taken part in the war except Rumania and the four enemy countries, whose delegates
Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-27

have not yet been announced. China will be represented by one person, probably the ambassador to France. Siam and Cuba and number of South and Central American republics have not been heard from.
 On the whole the lists given above, though unofficial and subject to change. indicate that the delegations have been virtually formed and that they soon will be in a position to take up the work of the congress.

 Movement Delayed Here.
 The board was to have been or. ganized last month, but owing to the influenza quarantine and other de- tering features, could not be brought into being until the present time. As conservation now is recognized as a high duty on the part of citizens of the United States, Mir. Erickson is anxious that the local movement shall be inaugurated at the earliest pos sible time. Therefore, it is necessary for those named by the mayor to be at the meeting if it be within the bounds of possibility

FULLY EXPOSED
Germany Expected to Start
Outbreak in Ireland with
Help of Sim Fein
BASES PLANNED
FOR SUBMARINES
Washington Has More Information
Than That Given Out in I.ondon-Ar-
rests in This Country and Additional
Arrests in ireland Soon.

LONDON, May 25.-Germany's untir-
ing efforts to foment revolution lin Ire
land with the aid of the Sim Fein are
laid bare in a statement from the official
press bureau. After the abortive rebel
lion Easter week, 1916, plans were made
for revolt in 1917, but this miscarred,
because of Americas entry into the war
and Germany's inability to send troops
to Ireland. An uprising in Ireland was
planned for this year, after the German
offensive in the west had been successful
and when Great Britain, presumably, was
stripped of troops.
Concerning the recent arrest in Ireland
the statement says that facts and docu-
ments for obvious reasons cannot be dis
closed at this time, nor the means of com
munication between Germany and Ire
land. In the present circumstances, it is
added, no other course was open to the
government if useless bloodshed was to
be avoided and its duties to its allies
fulfilled, but to intern those implicated
in this criminal intrigue

Of friends who daily walked with YOU,
Which now you leave behind.
We IL think of you and wish you well,
Till this great war shall end;
With joyful hearts we III give you then
A welcome home, dear friend.
If You should sight old Kaiser Bill,
Be sure your aim is steady;
And all the world will join us
And shout, "Three cheers for

LAVELLE DAMAGE
CASE NEARS END
But One Witness More to Be Called by
Defense-Case Discontinued as to
Boston & Maine. Road.

When county court adjourned this
noon for the Sunday recess there re-
manned to be examined one more wit
ness for the defendant in the case of
Edward j. Lavelle, administrator of the
estate of his father, the late Peter B.
Lavelle of Brattleboro, against the
Central Vermont Railway company,
that part of the suit concerning the
Boston & Maine Railroad company
having been discontinued on motion of
the plaintiff, the motion being granted
by the court.
After the examination of Samuel
Ashby, who was on the stand when The
Reformer went to press yesterday aft
ernoon, the plaintiff called Edward j.
Lavelle, Mrs. Peter B. Lavelle, the
widow, and Mrs. A. B. Carter and Mrs.
Hugh III. Harwood, daughters of the
deceased Their testimony was regard
ing the provision which. Mr. Lavelle
was making for his home, the kind of a
home he maintained, and what he was
doing for his family up to the time OF
his death.
At the close of the plaintiffs evil
dence tile defendant made a motion for
counts, but the court overruled the mo-
tion by each count.
The plaintiff then rested and the de-
fendant, the Central Vermont Railway
company, began putting in evidence,
calling j. S. Moore, claim agent for the
Boston & Maine Railroad company.
He was followed by John Curry, who
testified that he was assistant to Mr.
Lavelle. A master mechanic from the
Springfield, Mass, Office of the Boston
& Maine also was a witness. The one
remaining witness for the defendant
probably will be the yard conductor,
who will be called Immediately after
court re-convenes on the arrival of the
train from Brattleboro Monday fore
noon.
The. arguments will then be heard
the Judge will give his charge to the
| jury and it is expected that the ease

Troop Ship was Torpedoed
and Sunk Thursday Morn
ing by Unseen U-Boat
THREE VERMONTERS
AMONG THE VICTIMS
Edwin and Clyde Bosley of North Troy,
Brothers, Who Were on Guard,
Leaped from the Deck and No Trace
of Them Was Found.

LONDON, May 25.-With the exception
of 53 American soldiers all the persons on
board the British troepship MoIdavia,
which was torpedoed and sunk early
Thursday morning, were saved and have
been landed at southern British port
No officers names are among the list of
missing and it contains the names of
only two non commissioned officers Less
than quarter of an hour after the Mol
'davia had been torpedoed virtually every
man had gone over the side of the vessel
into the lifeboats.
Edwin and Clyde Bosley of North Troy.
Vt, leaped from the deck and were
drowned. Had it not been for this the
losses would have been confined to those
killed by the explosion of the torpedo.
The Bosley brothers We're on guard.
There was sharp list and they evidently
believed the ship was turning over.
Search was made, but they were not seen
after they jumped overheard. Maurice
Wheatland of Albany, VT, is also report
ed missing.
The Moldavia was torpedoed without
warning. 1t was moonlight night, and
although a good lookout was kept the
attacking submarine was not sighted be-
fore the torpedo struck Most of the
men aboard were in their hammocks
when the explosion occurred amidships
The sailors and soldiers alike showed no
panic. They fell calmly into line and
| awaited orders. When it was seen that
the Moldavia was settling down, all on
board were-takea-off by the esccrting
slips.
The men lost all of their belongings
but We're supplied with new clothing at
the different naval ports where they were
taken.
The Moldavia was of $500 tons gross
and owned by the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation company. She was
built at Greenock in 1908, and was 52t
| feet long.
1t is believed that the American sol
diers missing from the Moldavia were
| sleeping on the bottom deck
The vessel was struck below the bridge
She steamed ahead for some time after
being struck and at first it was hopet
that her watertight compartments would
enable her to reach port.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-A reply
by Theodore Roosevelt to Postmaster
General Burleson in their controversy
over alleged determinations by the post
Office department in publications pre-
sented to the senate today by Senator
Poindexter of Washington, charged that
the administration had played for and
against different newspapers and maya

directly responsible. The administration,
Mr.. Roosevelt declared, had condoned
the anti-ally of certain publications,
among them the Hearst newspapers,
while embarrassing those that have
made honest criticism of the conduct of
the war.

Vermont reached her minimum quota
in the Red Cross drive today.
Reports to State Chairman o. F. Ben
son of Brattleboro at noon TODAY boosted
the figures to 500, ,563.SO. The quota was
5000, 900.
I'VE can't stop them,' is the way some
of the county chairmen report to Chair
man Benson relative to the contributions
in the second drive. OF course they don't
really want to, but the expression shows
the enthusiasm that characterizes the
campaign.
Chairman Benson probably would want
this part of the report eliminated, but
much of the enthusiasm among the work
ers is due to the thorough manner in
which he organized the state and has kept
in touch with the county chairmen and
others. and he is entitled to much credit
for the success of the drive, which does
not end untn Monday night.
No report has been received vet from
Grand Isle county, and no reports have
come today from Franklin and Lamoille
counties, where it is known that good
work is going on, so it is safe to assume
that the amount actually pledged in the
state is already far in excess of the mini
mum quota, and the final footings are
likely to tell a splendid story.
The reports by counties at noon TODAY
stood as follows:
