Mddlebury Fire Loss Is We'll Ouer $1OO, 900
Town Hall, Congregational Church Lie in Complete Ruins-There Is No Doubt But That Waterbury and
 Naugatuck Depts Saved Town From Disaster

Only charred embers were all that remained to-day of Middle bury's Town Hall and Congrega- tional church, a devastating fire yesterday afternoon having level- led them to the ground and threat ened to set ablaze the entire vil- lage. The total damage. declared Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey this morning, will reach well over the $10O,00O mark. The structures are partially covered by insurance.
 Sparks From Chimney
 In the opinion of Marshal Lahey and his staff, the fire started on the roof of the Town Hall and li- rbrary from sparks from the chin1- ney. and then spread in a few mo- ments to the adjoining church, a building 100 years old. Four com panins of Waterbury firemen, one Naugatuck company and Middle. bury volunteers battled the blaze from early yesterday afternoon |'until well after dark last night. IT mid-afternoon hope for saving the Town Hall and church was given up and firemen concentrated their efforts on preventing the fire from spreading to Westover school, across the green from the scene of the two fires, and to nearby homes.
 Despite every precaution, the gale-like wind carried sparks and flaming embers to the roofs Of

BY WEBB MILLER

Copyright, 1885, by United Press5
 London, April 9 - (UPl = Fear of war, spreading downward from the chancel- lories of Europe to the man on the street, has brought a cur- ious state of mental panic to ordinarily level- headed citi- zens of all nations.
 Even casual observation here in England, which is the least affected of European nations, shows that many citizefs are tax ing certain precautions, altering their business plans, insuring them-s selves against the future. even changing their residences, because the future may bring hostilities.
 One of the brokers in that group of underwriters known as Lloyds says that his associates have talk en several millions of pounds in- surance against England, France and Germany becoming involved in war within a year. The pren1l. um is five per cent-but Lloyds will take no insurance beyond the years time.
 Gas Masks Sell Rapidly
 Many families are buying gas masks.
 At Prague, Czechoslovakia. the manufacture of gas masks is pros: ceeding at tremendous pace, ac~i celerated by the recent law pros viding that all workers must have such protection.

Schools For Spies Spring Up h Very Many Sections

Sosnowski's method of wringing military or diplomatic secrets from government departments was to make confidential female employees his unwilling tools. The girls were enticed to his dress shop, fitted out lon credit" with expensive garments, and invited to wild par ties at his apartment. When the girls were threatened with expos- ure, they readily agreed to bring him state information. The Baron- ess Won Berg and Frau Won NatZ- mer were two of his lieutenants. Isobel Steele, the American girl arrested on charges of espionage but released, her innocence prov ed, talked with both women during her incarceration. Tn entire group-about 50 men and women were arrested as they entered Von Sosnowskfs apartment one night to attend a celebration in honor Of Lea Mako. a dancer. who was the Baron's protegc.
 Richest More Dangerous
 The most lucrative. and at the same time the most dangerous, field for espionage is Germany. In addition to the ring of suspicious nations by which the Reich Is sur rounded, there are innumerable factions within the nation-revolu- tionists, communists, monarchists and enemies of the Adolf Hitler regime--which would go to any limits to contribute to the Reichs- fuehrer's downfall.
 Meanwhile. the noble Baron Von Sosnowski Is said to have gone free. He was a Pole. German spies abound in Poland. and Sosnowski was worth while 'exchangtRg" - as prisoners are exchanged to light again in war time-for ccr- tain eminent German operatives.

BY N. REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Stan Correspondent) Paris, April 9 - (UP)-Schools for spies spring up in Europe wherever the idle, rich nc ad- venturious or poor and desperate congregate over their vintage brandy or cheap coffee. The cafes de luxe and the slum-saloons of workingmen's quarters are equally recruiting places for the army of spies, and the profession is rarely over-staffed. Scores of spies are constantly being captured. Other scores constantly fall under suspi- cion and their activities come to q sudden halt because they are no longer useful to their masters.
 Recruits Innocent Victims . In a majority of cases, the re- cruits are completely ignorant of the purposes of their engagement. and never know whether they are operating for France. Germany, Russia, or one of the quarrelsome little southeastern nations of Flu rope. The little stenographers of Berlin, for instance, who fell into the net of Baron Capt. George Von Sosnowski and were wheedled or blackmailed out of state depart ment secrets. knew only that they were welcome guests at the Bar on's lavish parties. where they were always sure of "a good time." As for the noble Baroness Benita Won Berg and Frau Renate Won Natzmer, who went to the execu- tioners block and were beheaded for their complicity in the inter- national plot against the German Reich, it is possible they were ac- tuated by hatred of the present regime. as well as by a desire for thrills.

State Capitol, Hartford. April g = Efforts of a group of Oakville residents to ex- tend the rights of the Oakville Fire District failed today when the committee on cities and boroughs reported unfav- orably in the House on the measure providing for such extension.

At a recent meeting of townspeople the majority voted against such extension. It is un- derstood a small minority wanted to have the district extended so that water service might be SUD- piled to several neighborhoods now dependent upon wells and springs.

BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY (Special Legislative ReDOrter)

State Capitol, Hartford, April 9. Lieut-Gov Frank Hayes to-day sensed a spirit of jocularity in the tactics of members of the senate and returned the compliment.

 Senator Austin D. Barney, re. publican of Pennington spoke Tn favor of passage. t Upon voice vote 1t was perfectly obvious that there had been more mos" than "yeas".
 Lieut-Gov Hayes hes!tated mo- nent, then with a slight smile announced thaht the "yeas'' had carried and the measure was passed.
 Senator Barney, who Is chair man of the fish and game commit tee, has been subjected to much kidding" by his fellow senators in his efforts to have certain changes made in the laws, but the tables were turned completely to-day.
