Sources of Pro- dncts Exported to England. Washington, Jan, 13.—British con- euls in the United States, working under instructions from their govern- ment, are investigating the possible dxtent of German relations to any in- terest in American sources of pro- ducts largely ' exported to Great Eritain The move is a development of the “Trading with the enemy” act de- signed to strike German trade. British authorities said here today that the new movement in America would not stop trade of hona fide American corporations with Great Britain, but would make it more profitable. They say that in the metal | trade and especially in copper, the eater part of the American product exported to Europe is handled by | helding companies mostly under Ger- man control. The British allege that in this way Germans really control the metal trade of the world, not except- $ng England, where one of the great- cst copper houses was found to be di- rected from Berlin.

P., particularly those con- nected with the Third Ward Republi- can club, were gladdened today by the receipt of telegram by George W. Klett announcing a that | Henry D. Estabrook of New York, for whom the committee in charge of the | speakers for the annual Lincoln ban- quet has been angling, the invitation to come to this ci address the meeting. The affai be held in Turner hall on February 8 and it is expected that between 600 and 700 members and guests will be present. Invitations have been for- warded to Governor Holcomb and other prominent members of the re- publican party throughout the state. In securing a speaker of Mr. Esta- brook’s caliber the committee is to be congratulated. Back as far as 1895, his powers as a speechmaker were recognized and it was his pleasure to be selected as the man to deliver the principal address in the behalf of the MecKinley campaign in Chicago. Dur- ing the campaign of the martyred president, Mr. Estabrook was on the stump in his behalf and everywhere he spoke he made a profound impres- sion. In 1912 Mr. Estabrook worked hard during the preliminary days of the G. 0. P. convention at Chicago in be- half of “Teddy” Roosevelt and when that dignitary had been cast aside he continued to remain loyal to the cause and there was not a man wh> worked harder or more zealously to and Senator | had accepted | will | elect the republican ticket than did | Mr. Estabrook. He is at present | of the foremost sp | tion of “Preparedness” this country and recently i sh., he gave a talk on the question which is accredited through the press as be- ing one of the best ever heard in that section of the country. It is pro- posed to have the speaker dwell on the subject at his talk in this city The committee has also arranged to have but onc speaker on ‘he occa- sion.

Mr. Estabrook is a lawyer now prac- ticing in New York state and is con- sidered one of the ablest attorneys in the Empire state. He is affiliated with the United States Bar associa- tion. An interesting incident conncet- ed with the telegram received in this city today, was that it was sigred by Ormsby McHarg, one of the staunch- est followers of Mr. Roosevelt, who is now aligned with Mr. Estabrook. ile the n the man party the NEGROES’ STORIES OF MURDER PRESENTED Signed Statements Excluded By Court in Mohr Case Providence, R.

New Haven, Conn., Jan. 13.—A committee from the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen met C. L. Bardo, general manager of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, here yesterday and formally presented demands for an increase in wages. While neither the committee nor the railroad would give out any state- it is understood on good au- thority that the men demand an in- crease of ten per cent. for the 700 em- ploves in this department. The rail- road, it is understood, gave no defi- nite answer to the demands. It was also learned here today that | the railroad company has sent out circulars to the employes of the main- tainence and ways department re- ducing the working hours from ten hours to nine hours daily, with nine hours pay. It is reported that there is dissatisfaction among the employes, and that a meeting will be held in this city on January 22, to consider the matter.

Headquarters of the Russian Army of the Center, Dec. 29.—One of the most perilous branches of army ser- vice in Russia is that of n¥unted scouts, an organization peculiar to the Siberian corps. There are one hun- dred of these regi- ment, and a hardier, more daring lot | of rough riders would be hard to find. They are for the most part plainsmen, whose life has been spent in the open and on horseback. This organization played an import- ant part in the Japanese war where by their impetuous attacks they saved the Russian troops in many instances from heavy losses. After the Japan- ese war they were disbanded, but with the outbreak of the present conflict, were reorganized by Captain Benja- min Pessots: who became their commander. During the recent months while the Russians and Ger- mans have been facing each other in the trenches these scouts frequently have raided the German lines and during the last week in November on the Bastern front they bagged a Ger- man staff, consisting of two generals, a doctor and s non-commissioned officers. A colonel and many soldiers were killed in the action. Some of Their Activi The following incidents concerning outs activities earlier in the r were given by an officer at the front who participated in events re- lated. At 3 o'clock September the fi scouts to each on the after®oon of 29th the last companies of divisions left their positions before Warsaw to take up others be- hind the defences of the ci The entire defence of the city was left to the Siberian scouts. Commander Pessotsk who had remained with the scouts, took upon himself to or- der his men to spread out and occupy the left wing of the positions between Yulanova and Novo Ivitchni, in front of a woods. The Germans hegan to advance on Novo lvitchni, sending a flying col- umn in front. Pessotsky got on top of a small house and through his glasses observed the enem ordering changes in position to give the im- pression that the trenches were fully manned. The Germans began shell- ing the village and the house where he was. In face of this. he sent an officer to the rear, saying that he was holding the position and asking that reinforcements be sent. The enemy began pressing forward in force, but Pessotsky’s heroic action had given time for the whole R ian column to move forward again by a flanking movement, to drive back the Germans. This was the beginning of the Ger- man retreat that ended at their fron- tier. Laud Russian Red Cross. { | It may also be said that during this | war the Russian Red Cross has done more than ever could have been ex- pected of it. The doctors, surgeons and sisters, on the one hand and the volunteer organizations on the other have worked with marvellous effl- ciency. One of the most interesting phases of the work in the operation of the flying columns, which move along with the army and work while en- gagements are in progress. In each flying column there is an officer in charge with all the rights of a mili- | tary unit, although he may come from | civil life. Besides him there are two | or three aides. The medical side of the organization is represented by three surgeons, eight students and two siste One hundred and eighty men to each column are assigned and trained to the work required of them, from the ranks of enlisted men. The | column has also a large number of | sanitary carriages, several field kitch- ens, field operating rooms and in case of nec ity tents to live in. I Column Ts Divided. During battle the column is divided into three section. The commander, either mounted or afoot, move: fo ward with the sanitars as near possible to the trenches. Sometimes they locate in the trenches them- selv Very often when trenches or positions change hands the flying column has to stay on until the last, to take away the wounded in spite of the danger of falling into the enemy’s hands. Two columns have been entirely des‘yoyed by the fire of the enemy, and several have been cap- tured, to say nothing of individual | losses among other columns. Not only have they to bring first aid to the trenches, but frequently they must transport the wounded in their sanitary carriages through the zone of artillery fire. During battle the columns also or- ganize field feeding points and bring to the trenches not only first aid, but | food for the wounded who often must lie for hours before they can be moved.

PROVE THEIR WORTH | ON RUSSIAN FRONTS English Police Dogs Hunt Out and | Carry Relief to Troops Wounded in Battle, (Correspondence of Asso. Press.) Headquarters First Russian Army, Dec. 31.—English police doys, of which there are six attached to the Twenty-first Flying Column of the Kussian Red Cross, have proved their worth in many instances on Russian battleflelds. In one night near the village of Kute (vicinity of Lovitch) these wise animals hunted out in grain fields over which the battle surged and brough relief to forty- nine wounded men. The dogs had been brought London by authorities of the city of Vernaya for use in tracking down thieves and murderers with which the place was infested. Within a fcw weeks they enabled the police to round up these criminals, One ‘dog, who till retains his Euglish name “Jack” slightly Russianized, was several times sent to Moscow, Kief and | Ogessa to similarly aid the police of those cities. In times of inactivity of the troops the dogs are frequently used to convev dispatches from one section of the column to another and always per- form their task with unerring fidelity. During battle even under heavy fire they search out the wounded by scent 2and the sanitars may be certain the man to whom they are led is still ailve since the dogs instinctively ignore the dead. Having found a wounded man the animals will carry nis cap or a mitten back to the sani- tar who follows to the spot. Each arimal wears a pair of miniature saddle bags in which he carried flasks of brandy. In appearance the dogs resemble the airdale or the Irish terr An oxhibition of man hunting was given for the benefit of the correspondent ai headquarters of the First Siberian corps. A soldier was directed to hide in a clump of bushed two blocks distant in a field. The sanitar re- lee.sed the dog and directed him in the general direction of the spot After making several wide circles the animal caught the scent and made straight for the hiding place at top speed, returning presently with a glove. The sanitar tucked a small package in the saddle pocket and away went the dog on his return journey. The sanitar to carry out the deception, followed and appeared to assist the hiding man while the dog looked on with apparent interest. t c n from T f c CONN.
