Although the aid of ex-President Roosevelt is to be invoked in the ef- fort being made by members of the People’s church on Court street to ob- tain the release of Rev. Frederick W. Krieger, who is held in a British de- tention camp in India because of his alleged Teutonic connection, relatives of the former missionary now assert that he is in no danger, His name and nationality prompted the British officials to act cautiously and he was finally required to prove his representations and was given choice of being departed to Germany or America, in the event of proving his declarations, He has decided to return to New Britain as soon as he can obtain his release. The effort of the British at first to press him into military service sulted in his arrest. Krieger was a government contract- or in Nairobi under obligation to provide game and meat for use in the service and it was then thought he was a British subject and liable to military service and it was then thought he was a British subject and liable to military service.

Dec. 3.—The state de- partment announged formally late today that it had asked for the recall of Captain Boy-Ed and Captain Von Papen, naval and military attaches, respectively of the German embassy here, because of the ‘objectionable | activities in connection with military and naval matters.” Secretary Lansing is understood to have informed Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, that Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache to the German embassy has rendered himself persona non grata to the United States gov- | ernment as the result of his connec- tion with the conspirators of the Hamburg-American line who yester- day were found guilty in New York. Discussed at Cabinet. The subject was understood to have been the subject of discussion at the cabinet meeting today.

A branch of the American Pin company of Waterbury is to be opened in this city on Monday, December 13, by M. E. Taylor of South Main street. Because of the rapidity with which orders come in the company is un- able to fill them quickly, so at a re- cent meeting of the board of direct- ors, it was decided to have a branch factory. {The factory will be located in the rear of Mr. Taylor's store at 351 South Main street for the pres- ent and will employ about twenty- five female hands at first. Later, if the business warrants it, the number of employes will be increased to 100. Mr. Taylor was employed by the company for twenty-three years as manager of its hook and eye shop, which was located in Berlin until three years ago, when the concern closed that branch and moved the machines to the Brass City. Since then Mr. Taylor has conducted a grocery store on South Main street. *The local branch will manufacture safety pins, getting the raw wire from Waterbury and stamping out the pins with machmes constructed for that purpose.

Mr. Kendall made this announcement to a Herald man this morning, but declined to be interview- ed further on the matter, beyond de- claring that the concern would locate elsewhere, in some place where it would be appreciated. Mr. Kendall was apparently in an irate frame of mind and was bitter over what he appeared to regard as the hostile or' indifferent attitude of New 'Britain people towards the .pro- ject. He seemed especially peeved over an article which recently ap- peared in the neswpapers in regard to the company and its failure to lo- cate here as anticipated.

Two other train lodgds of Carranza troops are expecting to arrive during )} the day. General Alvaro Obregon, the Car- ranza commander in chief, stated that he expected to use these troops to ! guard the Nacozari railroad south of | Agua Prieta and also to garrison Na- cozari and El Tirge, the American owned mining camp. This move was due, it was said, to a rumor that Gen- eral Jose Rodriguez, the Villa com- mander is planning to break through the Carranza lines and move toward Chihauhau. General F.
