further said that when he read of the
fires on steamships he suspected that
his cylinders and the FLUID and powder
were responsible.
On one occasion, Becker said, DR..
Scheele, in his presence, put several
sealed cylinders into wooden boxes,
and these in turn into a satchel. This
satchel, the defendant said, was de-
livered by him to Captain Otto VOL
pert, Hamburg-American Pier Super
intendent, under instructions from DR..
Scheele. Becker further said that Won
Kleist told him money had been paid
to the men who helped him make the
fire bomb tubes.
Ebling, the last witness called, testi-
fled that he had been employed by
Carl Schimmel in March, April, and
May, 1915. He said Schimmel had
instructed him to bring in informa-
ton regarding the sailing dates of YES
sells from New York Harbor, and also
the character of their cargoes. For
this service he received $25 a week.

ARE SHIPPED TO

Golden. Who Was Arrested
At the Remington Arms
Co., One of Men.

Camp Devens, Aver, JAN. 2S-Two
several languages, were up before the
Psycopathic Board at the Base Hos
pital today and were given thorough
examination, as a result of which they
will be sent to a Boston hospital for
further mental tests.
Both are resisters of the draft. Both
are Russian and they claim to be
friends of Trotzky and Lenine, the
Russian leaders. They are Samuel
Krivoy of K Company, 304th Infan-
try, and Charles Golden, of G Com
pany, same regiment, both of Bridge
port, Conn. They came here on Oct.
8. Golden resisted the draft and was
brought by the police. Krivoy came
himself, but under protest. Since
their arrival they have been in some
kind of confinement all the time.
Krivoy was an inspector of NUM-
tions in the Remington Arms Com
pany. He was in the employ of the
old Russian Government. Golden was
a toolmaker in the same factory. Both
are said to be philosophical anarch-
lists, and Golden is identified with the
I. W. W.
The final examination of these two
by the psycopathic Board shows, ac-
cording to the report, that Krivoy has
a chronic mental disease and Golden
is ''of the type that assassinatas Pres
idents"
On their arrival both men claimed
that they did not believe in war. kri-
voy refused to sign the enlistment
papers, and when the interpreters
were called to read the articles of war
to him he declared that he did not
understand any of them. Finally he
admitted that he did understand
them, but added: you can kill me if
you want to, but I will never become
soldier He was court-martialed
and sentenced to three months at hard
labor.
Soon after he began to serve his
sentence he was given an order to
clean a latrine. He refused and was
sent back to the guardhouse and put
on a bread and water diet. 1t took
three men to hold him when he was
vaccinated and innoculated.
Golden is % II years old and Krivoy
26. When the police brought Golden
into camp they advised the military
authorities to watch him, as they said
he had held anarchistic and I. w. w.
meetings in several cities. He. is well
educated and has been all over Europe
studying industrial conditions.
When they found that legitimate
conscientious DIRECTORS were being
given work not against their creed or
belief both men declared themselves
to be c. O.'s. This claim was also
investigated, but neither belonged to
any sect or creed that openly declared
against war and their claims were not
allowed. 1t is believed they will be
placed in some institution.

MANY CREDITOR

Acceptance by the creditors of the
Aimwell Co, cloa kand suit dealers,
bankrupt, of a composition offer was
indicated at meeting of the creditors
held before Referee in Bankruptcy

M|LITAR|STS IN
GERMANY SCORED
BY SCHE|DEMANN

Amsterdam. Jan. 2S-Philip Scheid-
emann, president of the Social Demo-
cratic party in Germany, answering
Chancellor Won Hertling's speech in
the main committee of the reichstag,
warned the military leaders of the
imperial government that if they did
not bring about peace between Ger
many and Russia they would be
hurled from power"
Herr Scheidemann declared that an
agreement easily was possible on all
points of President Wilson's state
ment.
But Mr.. Wilson must be told
plainly the speaker said, that AL
SAGE is Germany's aud will remain so.
If one clear word is spoken regarding
Belgium, England's war mongering
will end. An honorable, complete re-
instatement is our duty"
Scheidemann's reply to Chancellor
Won Hertling, as published in the Ber-
liner Vorwaerts, contains the follow
ing:
Two chief arguments were ad-
vanced by the militarist party for the
prolongation of the war, namely. the
success of the U-boats and the
strength of our army. But these were
to have given US a decisive victory in
six months, according to the an
nouncement made in 1916. Also, that
period has long since passed and
while the U-boat has admittedly
harmed England enormously, its chief
visible effect has been the entrance of
America to the war"
eff the United States had not en-
tered the war we may be sure the
Russian revolution would long ago
have brought general peace" he
said
What about the army? Suppose
the army should capture Calais and
Paris, would that mean peace?
say no!
Suppose the army conquered
France and England, would that
mean peace? I say no, for we would
still have to conquer America"
Herr Scheidemann fiercely attack
ed the militarist leaders, declaring
that their attitude toward Austria was
likely to lose for Germany her last
| friend.
eff our government leaders cannot
! free US from these patriots -, said
the Social Democratic leader, they
had better go. I warn them that
| if thew do not bring US peace with
Russia they will be hurled from
| power"

OF
SURRENDERINC
TO GERMANY

Forty-seven years age today, Jan.
endured by great capital came to an
end with the capitulation of Paris.
For 1872 days the German army had
surrounded the city, cutting the peo-
pie off from all communication with
the outside world, except by balloon
and pigeon post. The great guns
of the Prussians Numbered in vain.
Within the city, the people. supposedly
gay, frivolous and excited, comort
ed themselves like heroes, as the
French nation has done in the present
struggle. Finally famine came to the
aid of the Prussians, and Paris was
forced to surrender.
The siege of Paris began Sept. 10,
1870, when the city was completely
invested by German troops. On that
day the boulevards were as gay as
ever, and Paris was apparently I'M
moved by the fate which hung over
her. Within a few days, however,
Parisions began to feel the pinch of
hunger. All food supplies were TAX
en- over by the military authorities,
and soon the city was reduced to a
horsefIesh diet. But fate had yet Sc
verer trials in store for the Parisians.
When all the horses had been killed
and consumed, ravenous Paris slaugh-
tered it's cats and dogs. Household
pets were ruthlessly killed so that
Paris might a little longer escape the
| ignominy of surrendering to the Ger
mans. Finally cats and dogs became
! IN1S d ,r;e, TN IL 70 +I,r
trade of rat catching, and the rodents
became the staple diet.
| With the coming of New Years day
1871, Paris was practically bare OF
food. Still the weary and starved CT
items refused to surrender. The iron
ring of the Germans grew tighter, anG
in Paris human beings died like flies
the victims tof starvation and the ills
that follow in it's UAke.
On the twenty-fourth of January
Favre opened negotiations with Bis
marck, and four days later the Prus-
sian and French statesmen signed ar
armistice, involving the capitulatior
of the city. 1t was not until the firs
of March, however, that the Germans
made their entry into the city of Par.
is.
The fall of Paris practically marked
the ending of the Franco-Prussiar
war, although even then Gambetta
was unwilling to give up, and sough
to prolong resistance of the unframed
volunteers against the masses of the
Germans who had poured into the
South and west of France. Defea
in 1871 cost France the payment O.
an indemnity of one billion francs ant
the loss of Alsace-Lorraine, the re
turn of which France is fighting FOL
now and which must be accomplished
according to the peace terms lait
down by President Wilson, before
peace can be restored.

SNOW HITS WEST
and SLOWS DOWN
WAR OPERATIONS

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Industrial
affected by the fuel administrations
weekly heatless Monday order, were,
forced to slow down their important
war operations today by snowfall
that in some sections was heavy.
Indications We're that the snow
would continue Tuesday from the lake
region eastward. The worst tie-up of
railroad traffic of the winter was in
prospect should the weather bureaus
predictions be fulfilled.
Low temperatures continue east of
the Rocky mountains. There will be
little change today or tomorrow from
the Ohio valley eastward.
Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Light snow fell
in this region during most of last night
and, according to the weather forecast,
another storm is headed in this direc-
ton from the southwest today. Should
the snowfall be heavy, as the weather
bureau predicts, railroad officials fear
the movement of coal and food sup
plies will again be seriously hampered,
Just as the railroads had practically
recovered from the blockade caused
by the heavy snow of the last two
weeks.
Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.- Another
snow storm, the third in three days,
prevails throughout the Pennsylvania
coal region today. Near zero temper
allure is reported in various sectioas
and this condition necessarily slows
down the mining and shipping of
coal. Although large forces of men
worked yesterday. the movement of
coal was disappointing because of the
snow and freezing weather.
At s a. m. today 4 4 inches of snow
had fallen in this city since midnight
and the temperature was IL above
| zero and going down.
