GERMANY DISAPPOINTED
Got No Definite Proposal from Great
Britain.

Berlin, Dec 10 (Bv the Associated
Press) DIR. Walter Rathenau brought
from London no concrete proposals for
either loan or moratorium. for Ger
many. Neither did his parleys with au-
thoritative British financial quarters
afford any tangible basis upon which
the German government would be war
ranted to base the conclusion that il
win be granted any great measure OF
positive relief with regard to its rep
arations obligations.
This, in effect, was the admission
made yesterday by cabinet officials.
who declined To enter upon any discus
sion Of the present stage Of the delib-
erations which have been going on
since DIR. Rathenaus return. A special
credit commission consisting Of nine
leading industrialists. financiers and
economists. appointed by Chancellor
Wirth; held a conference with DIR.
Rathenau and the chancellor last
night.

state of ignorance and, in the absence
of its customary inspiration from Off
cial quarters, continues TO paint the
situation from Official quarters, contin&
ues to paint the situation as stepped in
gloom. II warns the public to be pre-
pared for the worst.

WILL HAVE PUBLIC NURSE.
To Succeed Miss Maloney, Who Re-
Gently Resigned.

The rtImor which is current to the
effect that the services of the Red
Cross public health nurse are to be
discontinued in Barre is not true. Miss
Maloney, the present nurse, has re-
signed and her resignation takes effect
early in January, but the work will
90 on without interruption. The Bos-
ton Office already has received the re-
quest OF the Barre chapter for another
nurse to fill the vacancy as soon as
possible. If one should not be avail
able before the expiration Of Miss Ma
loney's term Of service, her place will
be filed temporarily and all calls for
nurse viii be answered as before and
the Office hours will be the same; IN
fact. there will be no cessation OF the
public health work due to Miss Ma
loney's departure.
The Barre people may be interested
to know that the reason for Miss Ma
loney's leaving her work here is a
matter of salary only. She was en-
gagged last February for a year at a
salary of 81 500 per year. The first
of November she asked that her salary
be raised 5000, making 81, 700 per year,
beginning Feb. 9.
At meeting of the executive board,
held Dec. |, 1t was decided that the
condition of the Red Cross treasury
and the present financial situation in
Barre would not warrant this increase,
but the vote was unanimclr for her to
remain If she felt she could do 50 at
the present salary This she decided
she could not do, as she had been Of
fered d better salary in Boston and
consequently she rendered her resig-
nation, to take effect early in jan
nary, as was previously stated.
The salary Of the nurse is not the
only expense Of this service. Other
necessary expenses for the nine months
ending Dec. brought the total to
ST. 1882, making an average Of over
5000 per month, which the local chap
ter feels is the maximum amount II Is
justified in assuring for. the coming
wear Neyerfireiess, It VIM not stop
for day this public health work so
well begun in this city and hopes to
maintain it always at the present
standard Of excellence.

They Send Out Word That If They
Come Out 1t Will Be
eject First"

Jacksonl Ky, Dec. l5.Three mem
bers Of the band which raided the
Breathitt county Jail on Monday morn
ing, killing one man, fatally woundins
woman and seriously wounding an
other, to-day were surrounded BY state
troops IN a cave on John Little's creek,
I2 miles from here. Captain Holbrook
of the state forces, planned to-day to
,lse. gas in an effort TO drive them out.
The men were discovered in the cave
late yesterday. Captain Holbrook sent
Alfred Noble, friend Of the fugitive
trio, into the cave last night To ask the
men to come out. They sent him word
that when they came out it would be
s'fcet first
Captain HoIbrook did not feel that
his little force was adequate to hold
both entrances Of the cave which ex-
tends through hill SO he came back
here to get more men. Bloodhounds
were brought here again to-day.
The three men. Bud Noble and two
sons, are alleged leaders of the gangs
who stormed the Breathitt county jail
here Friday midnight in an effort to
free four men, relatives of the Mobiles,
charged with murder Jail officers,
however, scenting an attempt at jail
delivery had previously removed the
prisoners to Winchester.
The attack led to fight between
the Jail officers and the attacking par
ty. Those killed and wounded were
members Of the Jail staff, the raiders
having escaped unwonnded. Five ali
legged members Of the attacking party
were captured later in the mountain
GUS regions of Breathitt county.

introduced the speakers and entertain
ers and himself made short address
Of welcome to the crowd.
The program opened with a splendid
piano solo by Sylvia Beaulieu, who was
promptly encored. Miss Majorie
Worcester than sang and she also was
encored. DR.. r. NJ. Lynde gave a reci-
tation and kept the crowd in an uproar
all through it. He was forced to give
another and again he kept the house in
roars. Stanley Marsh gave two very fine
vocal solos. Then Mr.. .Towne announced
that there would be dancing for those
who wished. The program was not COM
pleted until 1880 but Cooper's orches-
ira played for the dancing until nearly
4 o'clock.
Ie was very apparent from the faces
of everyone as they filed out Of the
hall homeward bound that the affair
was one grand success and that 1t will
be repeated next year on the same
plan seemed foregone conclusion. The
committee which arranged the banquet
and entertainment was composed of
Mr.. Towne. A. w. Phelps, Charles II,
Gordon, John Cumming, Earl Maxim

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10 tBy the

ais relating to the 5-5-3 ratio, as
worked out, apparently oversight, BY
naval experts, were presented to-day
to Secretary Hughes, Mr. Balfeur ana

the ROYAL Sovereign class, scrapping oi
four dreadnaughts, but no battle cruis
ers.
No session was scheduled to-day for
the far eastern committee, which ad-
journed yesterday subject to the call
of Chairman Hughes after China had
requested that the treaties resulting
from the famous 81 demands be abro-
gated and consideration of the question
had been promptly objected to BY the
Japanese Delegates.
How the conference win steer its
course on this new element of con-
troversy in the far eastern negotia-
tions was the subject of serious de-
liberation by the other delegations to-
day as they prepared for a decision
probably at the next meeting as to
whether the subject can properly be
taken up under the conference agenda.
The conference faced another cemplica-
tion in the far eastern negotiations to-
day as a result of China's request that
Ht take definite steps to abolish all
claims to special spheres of,influence'
which have grown out of the several
treaties with China.

THREE NAVAL POWERS
PRESENT PROPOSALS
ON THE 5,5-3 SHIP RATIO
SOVIET RUSSIA PUTS
IN AN OBJECTION
10 Discussion Of Chinese Eastern Rail.
way BY Washington
Conference.

Y Washington, D. G., Dec. l5 (By the
Associated Press Adrices from Riga
that soviet Russia has protested the
discussion Of the Chinese Eastern rail
way by the Washington conference
has served to draw the attention Of
conference circles to the rather com
plicated nature of this subject which
occupies a place on the American
agenda.
The Chinese Eastern, as it Is col
loquially referred to in the Far East,
is of the greatest strategic and eco
nomic Importance to Russia, Japan and
China. It is the great connecting link
across China of the trans Siberian rail
road from Vladivostok to far-away
Moscow and Petrograd. 1t crosses the
Chinese province Of Manchuria, which
penetrates like peninsula in the
heart Of Russia. When the czar Of all
the Russians decided upon his big pro-
ject Of building the trans Siberian he
obtained the right from China to run
the road across northern Manchuria
from Pogranichiya on the east to Man
chuli or Manchuria station on the west,
taking in on the way the big city Of
Harbin. This right gave the Russian
railroad immense value which it would
not have possessed had it been built
entirely in Russian territory.
Some two or three years ago with
the military occupation Of Siberia by
various troops, including Americans,
there was formed an inter-allied rail-
way board with a subsidiary technical
board Of management under the chair
manship of John F. Stevens, Ameri-
can railroad manager and expert, who
is now in Washington. Legally speak
ing, the railroad is regarded as belong
ing to Russia but both the United
States and Japan are said to have
made financial outlays for the upkeep
Of the line, the guarding of which Is
entrusted to Chinese because it tra-
verses Chinese territory. The direc-
tors include both Chinese and Russians.
