ALLEGED sLACKERs TAKEN.
Richard and Joseph Truba Were Ar
rested By u. S. Agent.

The dragnet of the government
swooped down upon two Barre alleged
draft dodgers yesterday, Richard and
Joseph Truba, and to-day theSs- doubt
less are at Fort Ethan Allen awaiting
a court martial, for they were seen
boarding the 1858 train yesterday aft
ernoon, accompanied by Government
Agent G. G. Reeves of the Burlington
office of the department of justice, and
Chief of Police Andrew Mitchell.
The two alleged slackers were ar
rested yesterday after some -sork on
the part of the two officers. Joseph
Truba was completely surprised at the
Comolli granite shed, where he was
working, shortly before noon yesterday.
Possibly countryman realized the
plight of Truba and Immediately noti-
fled his brother, Richard, who was em.
ployed at the PiIini Granite company
in Montpelier, for when Chief Of Police
Connolly of Montpelier went to his
boarding house at noon the mar was
not there.
Immediately telephone call to Barre
put Officer Reeves and Chief Mitchell
on the trail and the two men went to
the Truba home on the Montpelier
road, known as the Shepard farm.
There he was approaching the home
afoot, apparently avoiding tks electric
cars, when confronted by the officers.
Being of large stature, six feet tall,
and very strong, as also is his brother,
he offered some resistance that proved
futile.
In the month of October, 1917, after
they had registered with the Washing
ton county draft board, they suddenly
disappeared and went to Spain, it is
understood, while other reports are that
one went to Mexico and the other to
Cuba. Since then government agents
have been in search of them, and finally
located them here at their home. Just
when they returned is unknown, bnt y
is believed to be around October last,
making their absence about two years.
Neither officer would divulge any
facts whatsoever, but it is believed
that the men were to be taken to Fort
Ethan Allen.

AMERICANS NOT HELD
PRISONERS AND WILL
: RETURN FROM MEXICO
GERMANY is SHOWING
GROWING CONCERN
Over the Demand of the Allies for Sur
render of Persons Accused of
Crimes in the War.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.-Indication of the
governments growing concern over the
extradition of Germans accused OF wal
offenses was given in the note sent to
the allies to-day, asking revision OF
clauses of the Versailles treaty. The
attempted assassination of Matthias
Erzberger, minister Of finance, last
Monday, is viewed in official circles as a
precursor of what is likely TO happen on
larger scale if the government, IN
yielding to the allies, appeals TO force
in arresting men on the list submitted
by the entente powers. Editorial and
partisan recriminations, provoked by
the attack on the finance minister, have
already reached the white hot stage.
While it has been commonly known
that Wilhelmstrasse would use all its
persuasive power in an effort to induce
the allies to desist in their avowed pur-
pose of demanding the surrender of
Germans, the shots aimed at Herr Err
berger have made the cabinet more ap-
prehensive than it has been at any 9TH
er time relative to the enforcement of
the eNtradition clauses. The note to the
allies, which viii not be published in
Germany, warns the entente powers
that Germany cannot assume she is
able to compel either national or local
agencies of the law to lay hands on
the men wanted and transfer them to
German frontiers. The Associated Press
Is informed that even responsible Off
cials of the foreign Office have an
nounced point blank they would refuse
to execute any work connected with
extradition formalities and their inten-
tion to strike or indulge in passive
resistance"
Suggestion was made in the note that
men wanted be tried by the supreme
court at Leipzig and in this part of
the communication the cabinet has in
dicated its belief that the nations high
est tribunal could guarantee an exhaus-
tive and impartial trial 1t is pointed
out that the allies are given represen-
tation on the bench of the supreme
court, which should further tend to
guarantee fair trial.
The economic situation in Germany
is precarious at present and this is an
period to invite trouble, the
note indicates, continuing to point out
that trouble, if 1t comes, will not be
confined to any one party"
THE whole nation is likely to go
on general strike,y an official declared
to-day while discussing the govern
ment's plight, if 1t is coerced into even
making feint in the direction of APP
pretending the men wanted. 1t is def
nitely stated that no list of names of
men whose extradition will be demand
ed has as yet been received and that
the government has no hint of when it
is coming or who is wanted.

PARTIAL TIE-UP
or BOSTON FREIGHT
Strike of Freight Handlers on Boston &
Maine and Boston g. Albany
Calls Out 1900 Men.

Boston, Jan. 29.-It was impossible
TO ship freight in lots of less than a
carload through terminals of the Bos-
ton & Albany and the Boston & Maine
railroads in this city to-day because Of
the strike of 1900 freight handlers be-
gun yesterday. Carload shipments
were not affected, being loaded or un-
loaded by the shippers or the con-
signees, but the embargoes declared by
the railroads caused detention on sid
ings of many cars of perishable and
other goods for local merchants, and
prevented mixed shipments to other
parts of New England
The possibility of food stringency
as a result of the strike has been con-
sidered by Chairman Sherburne of the
commission on necessaries of life, and
he said to-day that he had taken the
matter up with the railroad admins
tration. The commission will inter
vene if necessary to insure an adequate
supply of necessaries and General Sher-
burne said he was watching the situa-
tion closely to determine whether it
would be necessary to step in. Food
stores now in hand are adequate for
several weeks, and with carload lots
moving there is believed to be no cause
for alarm at the present time.
Both the rail terminals and piers Of
the Boston & Albany and Boston 4
Maine railroads were affected to-day
by the strike. The terminals of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad were operated as usual, the
freight handlers union of that road
having refused to follow the workers of
the other roads in their effort to en-
force decision by the railroad admins
tration on demands for increased wages
which are pending.
The tie-up ON the docks has inter
fered with the work of unloading sew
eral steamers, and steamship agents
said that continuance of the strike
would make it necessary to divert from
this port to New York and other ports
vessels unable to land their cargoes.
Union leaders announced that any at
tempt to have union men unload these
cargoes at other ports would cause ex-
tension of the strike to those places.

MAKING THE SEA SAFE.

The approach Of storms at sea is
now reported with surprising .accur-
acy by means of wireless electricity.
An ingenius devise makes it possible
to pick up news of their approach
long before local conditions are eff
fected. 1t is not only possible to
learn of the position of storms when
many miles distant, but to know the
direction they are taking. The tests
have been made with great success at
the Naval base at Pensacola, Fla. 1t
is simple matter to get news of the
approach of storms over land, but the
conditions at sea have been battling.
The warning of an approaching storm
can now be wirelessed to aviators
flying at sea and to ships far from
land. Since ships far out at sea may
now be warned of bad weather, new
element of safey is lent to all who
go down to the sea in ships.-Boys'
Life for November.

over the steam engine. In these en-
gines gasoline is mixed with air and
ignited by an electric spark and the
resulting explosion forces down the
piston. The new plan is to spray oil
upon heated air under pressure, when
the resulting explosion provides the
force which drives the piston. The
lower grades of crude oil can be used
for the purpose. This invention is
believed to be one of the most i'm
portant in generation. 1t is besides
an American invention and will en-
able our ships driven in this way to
enjoy tremendous advantage COM
pared with the engines of other ma
lions. The invention is especially time
ly today when Americas merchant
marine is competing for the supre-
macy of the seas.-November Boys

tional means, and we have got to do
it as a community.
To do this there must be funds,
and so that these funds may be col
lected with the least cost to all, the
Crusade Against tuberculosis in
Georgia is to have a sale of health
stamps.
When you buy these stamps, you
not only help in getting better con-
ditions in your community, but you
have the beautiful, CHEEKY stamps for
your Christmas letters and packages.
You owe it to your family and
yourself to help put the heel of health
on the neck of this monster disease.
No one person is immune, but we can
all fight.
Cobb county's quota is $4,000, it
would be shame to let it stop at
that.
Buy generously of these seals,
your reward will be in the better
health of your county.
Putting a health stamp on your
Christmas packages and letters not
only means a CHEEKY looking package,
but also carries the message that you
are actively at work for better con-
ditions in your community.
tuberculosis is a creeping, loath-
some monster coming without warn
ing. Our one chance to fight back
lies in community work. EVERYBODY
must come to the point of realizing
responsibility, and as Professor Brit
tan says, "Stop dilly-dallying with
tuberculosis"
At a meeting of the Cobb county
health committee the quota for the
sale of health seals for the fight
against tuberculosis inCobb was put
at $4,000. That of course is a mini
mum amount, and Cobb will undoubt-
eddy go ahead of that.
These seals carry a CHEEKY Santa
Claus with a kiddy on his shoulder,
carrying the double cross of the
health seal, and the inscription "a
Healthy, Happy Christmas"
We all want healthy community,
we all want to have our share in
making it so. Now is a great chance
to help. Buy seals to the limit of
your ability, they make beautiful
seals for your Christmas and New
Years letters and packages and beau
tiful health for your county.

HEALTH COMMITTEE GETS
BUSY FOR HOLIDAY WEEK

The Cobb county health COMMITTEES
OF which DR.. l. A. White of the First
Baptist church, Marietta, is chairman
held a meeting last week with a fail
attendance. Among those present
were Mrs. J. M. Graham, Mrs. Hague
Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Finn, Miss Mabe
Cortelyou, Mr.. Jas. w. Legg, anc
members Of the county board Of
health, DR.. Todd, Miss Gibbes, DR.
Parkinson, Bernard Awtrey and 9th
ers. Mr.. Fortner, of the state board
Of health, addressed the meeting or
the tuberculer campaign now being
waged by that body and local health
committees over the state. It was
decided to put on sale for raising
funds for the fight on this dread dis.
ease here at home the double Red
Cross Christmas stamps, or seals, to.
gether with Health Bonds. You'll
meet people selling these and will
learn more fully what they are, and
what the intention is. The secretary
furnishes US the facts below as the
result of the meeting last week.
Investing in healthy community
is just about the most profitable bust
ness in the world.
The percentage Of tuberculosis in
the state is alarmingly large, Last
year thirty known deaths from the
dread disease occurred in Cobb coun.
ty alone, and the number of incip.
lent and unknown cases far exceeds
that umber.
The greatest hope for our people
lies in the prevention of the spread
of this disease-we must forestall it
Our best way to raise funds for
the mighty fight is through the sale
of health seals. Eighty per cent of
our quota will remain here for local
work, and the other twenty per cent
really comes back to US because of
its work in the state institution and
along educational lines.
At meeting of our county health
committee $4,000 was decided on as
our quota; we expect our returns to
far exceed that amount.
Cobb county has always met the
call for better work, it will certainly
come forward generously in this sale,
where every seal and bond means a
better, healthier community.
Your health depends on the health
conditions of your community.
We are going to have to wage a
strong, consistent fight against tuber-
culosis. We have got to do it through
our board of health, through our ex-
ample Of living and through educa-
