Yanks Won In
This Contest
(By United Press.)

Parsley Mail Just who
won the war is still live question
of debate, but there is no argument
as to which nations warriors come
off best in matrimonial contests in
France. The Yanks won.
A typical example of how COM
pletely the American doughboys in
France outclassed their British, Bel
gian and other rivals is furnished by
the marriage bureau of La Rochelle,
a small seaport down on the coast
between Bordeaux and st. Nazaire.
The Americans started with a Sc
we're handicap. The other Allies had
had three years and more to entice
away the girls of La Rochelle before
the doughboys had even learned to
say "Bon jour"
But the figures tell best the story
of ultimate triumph. A total of SO
girls of the seaport town married for
eign soldiers during the course of the
war. Twenty-three of them were
won by Americans. Belgium came
in second best, carrying off nineteen
brides.
Other armies were represented in
the following proportions: Italians,
s; English 3; Swiss, g; Russians, 8;
Spanish, 2; Danes, 1; Poland, Greece,
Cuba and Turkey each scored one.
Throughout France the story of La
Rochelle was repeated.

Treasure Taken
From Germany
By CARL D. GRoAT

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN.-(By Mail.)-Switzer-
land and the Scandinavian countries
at present house vast treasure in
German and Austrian securities. Their
worth can only be guessed, but it is
estimated that they run into many
millions of dollars.
These securities have been snug
gled out of Austria and Germany
against the time when their owners
would have to help pay the German
war indemnities. Because of the
movement of these valuable papers,
the German government made strong
complaint in the course of the peace
negotiations. 1t pointed out that
vast sum of money had gone out of
the country, which, without the aid
of the entente in recovering, prob
ably could not be reached.
The securities were taken out by
wealthy men who desired to escape
their sha of the burdens arising
from peace payments. In some cases,
airplanes were used to take out great
stores of securities. In other cases,
directly after the armistice, it was
possible for the wealthy to pack up
their tangible assets and move quiet
ly into Switzerland or some other
neutral country, where the securities
were safely slowed away out of the
reach of the German government.
Only today there came news from
Vienna of considerable movement
of Austrian and Hungarian paper out
of the country. One estimate was
that recently '$1,OOO,OOO,OOO worth
of notes and other securities had been
struggled out of the country-with
quite evident signs that the move
ment had the same purpose behind
it as the earlier German smuggling.
The government is now seeing to
it that no great sums of money or
paper are allowed to slip through the
boundaries unless for legitimate pur-
poses. Germany complains that her
ability to meet foreign claims has
been materially decreased by the acts
of war-swollen profiteers and wealthy
citizens who chose to take their
wealth away rather than aid in re-
building Germany, wherein these big
profits were made.
Incidentally, Switzerland and the
other neutral countries have made
vast profits through the war; while
the access of wealthy Germans with
their fortunes make money flow free
ly. Switzerland has been for some
time the playground of Europe, owing
to the closing of other resorts on &C.
count of the war. 1t is now neces-
: sary to obtain special permits to enter
the country for pleasure or business
purposes.

MAJORITY GROUPS
OPPOSED TO IT
Majority Members of Steering Commit
tee Is in Favor of 1t - Industrial
Conference Adjourned Without TAX
ing Action On the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Oct l4.-Labor's de-
mand that the nationwide steel strike be
arbitrated was reported to the national
industrial conference today by the steer
ing committee of 10 without recommend
ations but with the suggestion that if
arbitration is undertaken the proposed
committee of six be chosen by the three
groups in the conference from members
or non-members Of the conference.
The chairman of the committee an
nounced that two groups in the commit
tee opposed the resolution proposing arbi-
tration, but that majority of all the
members of the committee favored it.
There was no immediate action on the
report, the conference adjourning for an
hour after there had been sharp debate
over the Interpretation of the rules.
John Spargo of New York proposed that
labor's demand for arbitration of the steel
strike be referred back from the commit
tee of 10 but his motion was defeated
The conference then adjourned until af-
ternoon.

PLOT TO ASSASSINATE

Big Stores of Dynamite Dis
covered Near the City =
Have Traced Printing of
Red Circulars and Arrest
ed Men Who Blew Up En-
trance to Chicago Post
office

CHICAGO, Oct Military au
thorities at Gary, the home of the big
steel mills announced today that they
hoped to have the maker of the Gim-
bel and other bombs which have startled
the country in the past year under ar
rest within few hours.
Secret service men said they knew
the name, habits and manufacturing
methods of the individual who they
claim has made most of these bombs.
They announced also that they have
uncovered plot to assassinate the
mayor of Gary, discovered great stores
of dynamite near Gary and traced the
printing of red circulars to Indiana
polls.
They said they had arrested the men
who blew up an entrance Of the Chicago
postotfice a year ago.
Premature announcement in Chicago
paper this morning of some features of
the bomb story, military authorities at
Gary said, had partly thwarted their
plans for clearing out what they had
reason to believe was one of the central
committee of dynamitcrs in this eoun-
try.
This story said that Alexander Ivanoif
had been arrested as the principal bomb
maker. Col. Bates, commander of the
federal troops at Gary, announced this
forenoon that Ivanoff had not been ar
rested, but that the authorities were
looking for him. Ivanof lived in Gary,
but later moved to Miller, Gary suburb.
There secret service man took a
house from whence he might observe the
IvanhofT domicile. This federal agent

today, disappeared two weeks ago The
causes of his disappearance and what
became of him are unknown to them
They are conducting a widespread search
for him.

TO CALL SPECIALIST.
President to Be Treated for Pros
tate Glands-Had Restless Night.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. =
President Wilson'S condition was
generally good today although he
did not have a restful night, ac-
cording to bulletin issued by his
physician this morning. The bull
letin issued at 1915 p. m fol-
lows:
"The President did not have a
restful night last night. His
sleeplessness was caused by a
swelling of the prostate gland,
a condition from which he has
suffered in the past and which
has been intensified more or less
by his lying in bed. His gener-
al condition, however, is good. As
noted yesterday his temperature,
pulse, respiration, heart action
and blood pressure are normal"
Rear Admiral Grayson said the
swelling of the prostate gland
was quite common and no impor-
tance should be attached to it.
1t is expected that DIR. Grayson
will, however, call in a specialist
in order that the President may
be made more comfortable.

SPECIAL TOWN
MEETING SOON
Selectmen Consider Making
Loans for Draining
Main Street
EXPENSE WOULD BE
LESS THAN $4,5OO
Engineer Helyar and Road Commission
er Make Estimates-Draina Ought
to Be Fixed Year Before Paving -
Would Do Job This Fall.

Whether Brattleboro wants Main
street paved or treated in some other
way, there is one thing on which the
people are generally agreed, and that is
that before any permanent work is done
modern drainage system should be in
stalled. With this in view the select
men within day or two will post war
rants for special town meeting, to be
held probably Monday night, Oct. 27, to
see if the voters will authorize the Sc
lectmen to borrow money on temporary
loans to put in an up-to-date system of
drainage which will take care of the
surface water which is now so bother
some.
1t is the opinion of the selectmen,
Civil Engineer j. L. Helyar and Road
Commissioner c. j. DUDE that if a system
of drainage is to be put in the work
ought to be done this fall rather than
next summer, as it will be necessary to
block some parts of the street while the
work is in progress. This, it is believed,
would cause less Inconvenience this fall
than next summer. The selectmen
doubtless have authority to do the work
without town meeting, but for job
,of such proportions they prefer to have
the express authority of the voters.
Engineer Helyar and Commissioner
Dube have prepared estimates at the
request of the selectmen. and they figure
that the entire cost of the job would be
less than $4,000. Mr.. Helyar's figures
are Sf,4S2.60, while Mr.. Dube thinks
the cost can be shaded little from that
sum.
The plan contemplates a main line OF
tile from the junction of Main and FL
liot streets north to a point opposite
Mrs. G. S. Dowley's residence. At pres
ent a 24inch tile pipe line runs from
the Main street bridge to a point near
j. f. Rogers's store. 1t is proposed that
the new line be attached to the old one
at this point and that the same size tile
extend to the High street junction
From there lS-inch tile would extend tc
Grove street, and a l2-inch tile would
run from Grove street to Mrs. Dowley'>

not be stated now whether the east oil
