GERMANY DARE NOT BEGIN NEGOTIATION

Amsterdam, March 2-The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant prints long interview with parsonage who re- turned recently from a weeks visit to Berlin" where he talked with a num- Der of prominent persons, including Baron von dem Bussche-Haddenhau sen, under secretary for foreign af- fairs; Dr. Drews, Prussian minister of the Interior; Dr. Solf, Minister for Colonies, and Lieut. Gen. Won Stein, Prussian Minister of War.
 The concensus of opinion, the vis- itor gathered, was that the greatest difficulty in arriving at peace nego1 tiations is that Germany dares not or will not relinquish any military advantage unless certain that peace negotiations have a chance for suc- cess. He adds:
 'They agreed perfectly, for in- stance, with my objections. against bombing London and admitted that for the sake of peace it were better that they stopped. Yet, they said, the raids must continue for military reasons"
 Among other things the visitor, ap- parently a Dutchman, said:
 q had occasion to meet several members of the American colony. To my surprise the Americans in Berlin enjoy the greatest freedom

CROSSLEY AYERS HE IS INNOCENT

 was procured from the Russian gov ernment, then for no apparent reason the company failed.
 Crossley was president of the conn pany which was known as the Cooper Aircraft Co.,, and is said to be respon- sible for the failure of the concern in which a large number of Bridge porters had invested sums of money ranging into the thousands.
 When seen about the Crossley case, Prosecuting Attorney Delaney said q believe that Crossley has been mix ed up in a great number of deals ir Bridgeport and am doubtful if the Blakeslee matter is the only one upon which he will be prosecuted. I in tend to investigate his history in a most thorough fashion now that he is being held by the New York police"
 It is also alleged that among the many activities of Crossley was the formation of the Inhalation Sanator- ium Co.,, for the purpose of manufac- turing inhalation instruments for use in the fight against tuberculosis. The factory was supposed to be in New burgh, N. Y, but nothing apparently ever came of it.
 Among the many who lost money in ventures promoted by Crossley were Judge Gl. P. Nobbs, w. E. Burnham, Henry Atwater, president of the Peo- ple's Savings Bank, the parents of Aviator John D. Cooper and the i Bridgeport Brass Co.,, Judge Nobbs ad- mits having placed a large sum of money in the Inhalation Sanitorium Comuany along with w. D. Burnham and Henry Atwater, and went so far as to say that he and his associates had lost every cent they had put into the venture promoted by Crossley.
 Crossley was one of the most promi- nent members of the First Bridgeport Baptist church, he was prominent al all church affairs, leading the singing in the choir and was looked upon as being one of the staunchest pillars Ot the church. When he moved to New York it is said he became a member of the exclusive Fifth Avenue Baptis church, and had forced his way to the front ranks of the leaders in the con- gregation.

GIVEN BEATING, HAS ASSAILANTS
 HAILED TO COURT

Mannog Krickorias, his wife Mary and Mrs. Rosie Bahadria, all of 1S7 Holly street, were placed under arrest today by Detectives Wheeler and Der rick, upon complaint of George Man gendichrian, of 195 Bunnell street, who charges them with having beaten him to the point of death and having robbed him of $250. The prisoners are held in bonds of $100 each pending the outcome of the injuries sustained by Mangerdichrian, who it is said may die. 4.
 According to the police the trouble arose over the fact that Mangerdich- ian, who is an uncle of George Krick- orias, fell in love with his niece in law and persisted in showering .unwelcome attentions upon her. He would visit the Krichoria!s home every day in the absence of the husband and bring provisions for the larder as we'll as other gifts.
 He was constantly repulsed by Mrs. Krickorias and told more than once never to come to the house again. He persisted in his hopeless love suit un- til a week ago last Thursday he al- lowed his ardor to get the better of his judgment and he embraced the young wife and attempted to kiss her. She struggled and called for help and her brother happened to come in. He immediately went to the assistance of his sister and was giving Manager dichrian good trouncing when the husband returned home.
 The fight then became almost an Armenian massacre, for reinforced by neighbors the entire household appar- ently took part in beating Manager dichrian, who now lies in bed at his home suffering according to the doc tors with internal as well as serious
 external injuries.

Each Battle Plane
Needs Extra Equipment
And Staff of Skilled Men.

Alter three years of warfare the
total number of air planes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been
over $500. Each plane in the air re-
quires force of 46 men, two replace
mcnt planes or the ground, and one
training plane for every pilot who
eventually reaches the front, with an
extra engine for each plane.
The life OF plane is not more than
two months, and the engine must be
overhauled after each Is hours. Now
that American battle planes are go
ing overseas, the great problem is to
secure the thousands of skilled me-
chanics, enginenen, motor repair
men, wood and metal workers needed
to keep the planes in perfect condi-
ton. This engineering and mechani-
cal force at the airdomes, the flying
fields, and repair depots, both here
and behind the lines in France, is a
vital industrial link in the chain to air
supremacy.
