SONFIDENT WILSON | WL OFFER HELP etherlands Minister ~Expects | President to Be Mediator —_— The Hague, Nov. 29.—Regarding face rumors and the interest in peace icles, Minister Van Dyke gave the pllowing interview yesterday: I have no information about the eps the American government is re- pried to be taking to restore peace in brope. If T had, of course I could pt say it hm_ as it is, T am free to speak certain points which are matters ‘public knowledge. “The first point Is President Wil- pp's desire for peace and his offer of ediation at the beginning of the war. hen this Wed except on the request of both Pilizeren The first convention of Haguc conference of 1907 de- es that an offer of mediation, even ring hostilities cannot be regarded either of the parties in the dispute an unfriendly act. This leaves me- ation open, but says nothing about i more important question of when may be useful to help toward a just lasting peace. “Enowing the attitude of the United ates government regarding the pres- it dreadful war in Europe, T believe must trust to it to recognize and Icome the right moment when its dces will be useful for a peace jaich will not carry in its breast the eds and sanction of a future war. “All nefitrals and many people nong the helligerents desire,. 1i esident Wilson, to know more clear- the causes and aims of this bloody pnfiict. Many explanations have pen offered from both sides, but ery one of them contained at least vague undefined term this is what s to be made clear. America With President. “The second point is the proposed ague of peace, in favor of which resident Wilson has spoken so clear- The vast majority of Americans with him not only in his views, but his manner of expressing them. It not a league to enforce peace, but lee;!gue to defend peace when re- ored. “Acceptance by the nations of the nciple that it is a crime to make without a previous appeal to rea- m, justice, arbitration, or concilia- pn would greatly enlighten the sit- tion. It would be like an open universal treaty of defense kainst such wars. It would condemn 1 secret treaties of offense as con- biracies against the league. It would bally be a definition of one of the dispensable terms of peace in the esent situation. It would also be e of the bases for the rebuilding of ternational law, which has suffered this war like a cathedral under bmbardment. “Would it do away with aggressive lar? Perhaps not; but it would make vastly more perilous. It would alt right above might and pledge 1 nations to defend the appeal to ason and justice before taking the ord. “Who would insure the keeping of at pledge? “There’s no absolute guarantee for pything in this world, but in this 2 there would be three Teasonable eguards: First, the preparedness the nations to maintain their pledge force against any one of their mber who broke it; second, a sense national interest as bound up with he interest and welfare of mankind; ird and ultimately, the force of an lightened public opinion everywhere pcognizing that agressive war is sim- y 2 violent interruption of the pro- of civilization. Unless man is a . such public opinion must be he final tribunal for all great cases: Becurus judicat orbis terrarum.’ ” FEAR CATTLE DISEASE. break of Foot and Mouth Disease in Central States Forecast. Chicago, Nov. 29.—Fear of a re- ewed outbreak of the foot and mouth isease in the central states was aining rapidly among livestock men ere today. ‘With encouraging reports from the spected cattle in Kansas City, local ackers, traders and officials of the mion ock Yards expressed a be- ief that the quarantine against cat- e, except for immediate slaughter, rom Kansas, Missourl and Nebraska it the yards in Chicago and East St. ouis would be removed today.

But for this the flames would have been beyond con- tro} before discovery. James J. Naughton is the heaviest loser, damage to stock and equipment being estimated at nearly $6,000. It may be higher, if it is found that costly equipment, including ovens, mixers and moulding machines, re- cently installed, are injured beyond repair. It was about them that the flames were the hottest. Because of the holiday trade, anticipating higher prices and possible railroad embar- goes, Mr. Naughton has been buying heavil; and carried an especially large stock of paper and other ma- terials used in the handling of bakery oods. This and stock burned in the ke shop were responsible for the smoke. According to Mr. Naughton, the insurance will not begin to cover the loss. Much Food Destroyed. In the bake room were over 2,000 loaves of bread, many doughnuts and other goods. Many of New Britain’s restaurants are supplied as well as an extensive trade in nearby towns. a result of the fire, not a few restaurants had a limited stock on d and many patrons had to go without doughnuts with their coffee. Mr. Naughton made emergency ar- rangements to supply his trade and said this morning that deliveries were delayed only about seven hours. Ar- rangements were made to have his employes resume their work at an East Side bakery, secured for tem- porary use. Customers were notified, as far as possible, by telephone of the trouble. About twelve are employed at the bakery. There were no signs of fire when the night shift left the bakery short- ly before 4 o’clock. The day shift was just coming to work when the flames were discovered. ‘Whether defective bases of the ovens were responsible, allowing coals or excessive heat to come in contact with the woodwork or whether the massive beams, dried as if in a Kkiln, had been smouldering for some time is not known. An investigation will be made when debris and water which covers the floor of the cellar and bake room are removed. Tim- bers and joists of the bake room ceiling were charred and, in some cases, burned through. The gas sup- ply of the building was turned off early upon orders of Chief Dame. Outside of damage to the bakery and building there was little loss ex- cepting by smoke and water. The Economy New England Drug Com- pany’s store at 365 Main street w filled with smoke and much water found it way into the cellar. Just how much damage was caused will not be definitely known until an in- ventory is taken by representatives of the company from Hartford. At the store it was reported a stock of about $6,500 is carried. How much of it is of the type that can be damaged by smoke has not been ascertained. Loss in offices and apartments on the three upper floors is almost en- tirely confined to damage done by smoke. ! Hotel Bassett Threatened. Fire in a pile of papers ana rubbish in the rear of MeEnroe & Smiths restaurant assumed threatening pro- portions shortly after 4 o'clock yes- terday afternoon and caused alarm to the management of the Hotel Bas- sett at 354 Main street. Chief Dame and Hoseman Carlson and Scheyd re- sponded from headquarters to a still alarm with a hand extinguisher. It was found that the burning paper had ignited a wooden fence and threat- ened to spread to the rear steps of the hotel. Other firemen were called and three more extinguishers used. ‘As calls to this locality for the same type of fires have been frequent Chief Dame decided that it was time to put a stop to it. He interviewed Morris Schupack, owner of the property where the fires have been located and informed him that there must be a change and that the yard must be kept clear of rubbish. A rubbish pile, old papers anad small boys are considered responsible for yesterday's blaze. James E. O’Brien, proprietor of the Hotel Bas- sett, has been accustomed to check fires in this locality but became dis- gusted at their frequency and turned the job over to the city department. TEACHERS HAVE DINNER. Smalley School Ma'rms Eat Turkey in Library During Noon Hour. The teachers at the Smalley school enjoyed a turkey dinner yesterday noon in the school library, a menu of turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, turnips, olives, pickles, cel- ery, coffee, pie, candied figs and candy being served. Miss Brady was in charge of the committee which ar- ranged for the dinner. A group pho- tograph was taken. After the dinner hour the schoo!l principal, Mrs. Grace M. Coholan, gave the teachers a short talk and Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Murray also spoke. NORTH POLE BY ZEPPELIN. Dr. Clinton Babcock of Boston, in an address before the Woman’s club at the First Baptist church parlors vyesterday afternoon, predicted that some day in the near future people may read of valient explorers going to the north pole by Zeppelins. This will be when the Zeppelins are less busy elsewhere, the speaker said. Dr. Babcock’s tallk was on the geography of Scandinavia and was illustrated with brilliant stereopticon slides. His descriptive talk on the North Cape, the land of the midnight sun, the most northern extremity where the water is open, was particularly beau- tiful, Was Greé&y Distressed Says Local Lady Mrs. F.

BRILLIANT PROGRAM HAS BEEN PREPARED United Parents’ and Teachers’ Assn. Opens Season Dec. 12 On the evening of December 12 the first of a series of five entertain- ments is to be given in the Grammar school hall under the auspices of the United Parents’ and Teachers’ Tickets and preliminary announcements were given to the children today. Opening Entertainment Dec. 14. The entertainment at this opening assemblage will be provided by the | Boston quintet heard at the South church a year or two ago. These singers are among the foremost male Vocalists in the country. This quintet is made up of Walter E. Anderson, tenor; John E. Daniels, tenor; Robert Nichols, tenor and accompanist; Dr. Arthur Gould, baritone ,and Augus- tus T. Beatty, bass. Mr. Anderson’s voice has a range as high as the ma- jority of lyric sopranos. Their pro- gram will contain not only songs from current popular plays, but also as spe- cial arrangement of favorite classics such as the quartet from *“Rigioletto” as- mermoor”. The second of the winter's series will be presented on January 23 when Raymond Havens and Miss Cora Sapin appear as the artists. Mr. Ha- vens is a brilliant young Boston pian- ist and Philip Hale, a well known music critic, says of him: “He is evi- dentally musical by nature; his mech- anism' 1s polished; his taste is refined; he is modest, not self assertive. Mr. Havens has won an honorable placa in the local group of the younger pianists.”” Madam Sapin is a member of the Boston Opera company and is an American singer with a rich con- tralto voice. She has sung at the Metropolitan Opera House wtih the Philharmonic orchestra, the Russian Symphony orchestra, the Damrosche orchestra and the St. Louis orchestra. Others on Program. Burlington Schurr, curator at the New Britain Institute museum, will give a lecture on February 20, en- titled ‘“The Winter World.” Mr. Schurr has been called the naturalist of the Berkshire Hills and he needs no in- troduction.

Edward Avis, famous as a bird imi- tator, who is said to be without a peer in reproducing the songs and calls of birds as they are heard in the woods and fields, will be heard on March 20. He will also give a special after- noon entertainment st 4 o'clock for the benefit of the school children. Not only does Mr. Avis use his voice, but also his violin to give the desired ef- fects.

CLERK ADMITS THEFT, OF $1,000 A WEEK Invested Loot and Conducted Chain of Cigar Stands New York, Nov. 29.—Adolf J. Loef- fler was locked up in the Tombs last night after he had confessed that for two years he had stolen nearly $1,000 a week from Francis H. Leg- gett & Co., wholesale grocers, by whom he was employed as a shipping clerk at $25 a week in the warehouse at Thirteenth avenue and Twenty-sev- enth street. But Loeffler was downcast nor discouraged. He is 30 years old, and in the opin- fon of the young man he is certain to make his fortune no matter what sentence he may recelve. To have hidden thefts of such magnitude, Loeffler argues, might indicate that he was merely a clever theft. To have invested his stealings so that now he is able to make almost entire resti- tution, although he has lived in lux- ury, operated three automobiles, employed a chauffeur at a weekly wage equal to his own, at a total ex- penditure of probably more than $15,- 000 yearly, is testimony, in his opin- ion, to his financial abllity. “If I could have had one more year,” sald Loeffler yesterday, “I should have become a rich man. With the money I stole I started a string of cigar stands in office buildings and hotels, and my earnings from this have been large. Why I even bought my cigars from Leggett’s. I don’t know just how much I took, but I can pay most of it back, and in an- other year I could have returned all of it and retired wealthy.”” Loeffler lived with his wife at 156 West Eighty-sixth street in an apart- ment which he rented for $150 a month. His ordinary living ex- penses, he said, were upward of $500 a month ,and the furnishings of his home were worth $35,000. He owned Jewelry worth $5,000 more. All this he has turned over to his employers, together with his stock and fixtures in his various cigar stands, so that he has restored probably threequar- ters of what he took. His Method. The young man was questloned closely by Assistant District Attorney Ryttenberg as to the method by which he obtained money from his employ- ers, and as a result Mr. Ryttenberg has summoned officers of Leggett & Co., to his office, and today will try | to go further into the details of the | case. According to Loeffler, sale grocers did a large iness and depended or firm of shipping broke toms for thelr wares. This firm ren- dered weekly bills for forwarding charges, which were audited and en- dorsed Lo the cashier for payment. Loeffler says he raised the amounts of | theso Dills after they had been en- dorsed, so that a check for an amount in excess of the true bill was always sont to tho shipping brokerage firm. Thon, according to Looffler, by ar- rangoment with this firm, he would recelve from it a check for the dif- feronoe between the true bill and the Legrett payment, made out in a check to bearer on the Hanover National bank. A member of the shipping firm introduced him at the bank, he said and he took these checks there and carhed them, Mr, Ryttenberg cn for an formed by not, and the whole- export bus- State street to find bot- lled on the brok explanation and was in- the manager that the proprictor was In England, and the manager, acting under his orders, was following a custom adopted by the owner before his departure. Ac- cording to the Assistant District At- torney, this manager admitted that he thought the transaction unbus- inesslike, but said he had been made to understand that Leggett & Co. had adopted this means of paying some commissions to agents of foreign gov- ernments in return for large war or- ders. This, officials of the firm den Charles T. Ward. who made the charge against Loeffler, said the dis- covery of the thefts had come only when the firm noticed an unusual de- crease in profits in the export branch of the business. The young man was arrested early Tuesday morning and pleaded guilty when arraigned before a magistrate yesterday. Pending ac- tion by the grand jury he was re- manded to prison. orn THE MERE FACT THAT | BELGIUN 'Scott’s Emulsion i CE. OF GERMAN PEAGE Gomplete Beating Down of France and Outlet to Ocean London, Nov. 29.—The Rhenish and ‘Westphalian Gazette, in an article on the principle of German peace, de- clares that the reconciliation of Ger- many and her western enemies is im- possible, according to an Amsterdam despatch to Reuter’s. The paper de- clares that it believes Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg recognizes this, adding: “Our ultimate aim is to push through to the west and the ocean. Whatever offers resistance must be crushed.” Referring to the Balkans, the Ga- zette says: ‘“What the victor gets he holds.” In respect to the lost German col- onies, the Gazette is quoted as saying: “If we do not succeed recon- quering them the French provinces are worth twice our colonies and we will take our compensation out in France. We need not waste words about Belgium. We need access to the channel and we need Antwerp. ‘Whoever wants Belgium may fetch it from us.” Destruction of London. The Gazette concludes that England is more assailable than Russla and that London can be destroyed easier than Moscow because, cow costs blood and torpedoes. “We have no fantastic are the Gazette's final words, *“of conquering the world. German bur- gerdom is not ripe for mastering and governing a world empire. We neither can, nor will destroy the British em- pire, but the minimum necessary for German peace is the complete beat- ing down of France in the west and the prestige of the German flag on all the seas.” An Amsterdam despatch to the Times refers to the Gazette's article as by far the most remarkable that has yet appeared in regard to Ger- man peace terms. The despatch adds that the Gazette represents great in- dustrial magnates, who, “as recent executive changes show, are making their influence increasingly felt.” Must Annex Belgium. Annexation is also advocated- by Dr. Jaeger, a member of Central party in the Reichstag, who, writing in the Dusseldorf General Anzeiger, insists that the German blood shed in Belgium since 1914 must not have been shed in vain. ‘“Belgium must be our guarantee,” writes Dr. Jaeger, “for a good part of the war costs. We must retain permanently the Meuse line with Liege, and Namur. Part of old Lux- emburg which has become Belgian can perhaps be ceded to the grand duchy.” After saying that the walloons could be ejected from their hives, Dr. Jaeger pronounced in favor of al- lowing the Belgian dynasty to remain he declared, however, that the coun- try must be brought politically, mili- tarily and economically in closer re- lation to Germany. SANTA CLAUS IN BRIDGEPORT ‘Workers in Park City Will Have Mil- in it says, Mos- London only dreams,’ lion to Spend for Christmas Gifts This Year. Bridgeport, Nov. 29.—Bridgeport, with $1,000,000 to spend for gifts, Is looking forward to December 25 as the greatest Christmas in its history. Storekeepers who have put out their holiday stock early already report a remarkable sale in those articles. Statistics available at the Bridge- port Trust company office, which op- erates the largest Christmas savings club in Connecticut, indicate that a total of $350,000 will be distributed to depositors during the first week in December. In the money of ed the amounts will total at least $50,- 000. The Crane company bonus to its employes distributed annually Christmas will come close to. $250,- 000 more this year. Manufacturers have been unusually prosperous, and the usual gifts to their office forces will amount to thousands of dollars. Several large charity organizations are arranging for Christmas campaign for large sums of money, which they expect to raise with little trouble.

AND HALTS MOVING Sariski, on Probation, Dislikeq Publicity in His Case Frank Sariski of arraigned Monday for non-support, was revoked by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court today and he was ordered to post a bond of $250 to assure week- ly payments of $10 a week to his wife for six months or go to jail for thirty day Because of his family® and their need of his earnings, Judge Meskill was lenient Monday, es- pecially after Sariskl expressed approval of probation and the plan to have Probation Officer Edward C. Connolly collect his wages each week. After thinking the plan over, how« ever, Sariski did not approve as high- ly of the plan and decided to do the collecting himself and make his fu- ture home in Worcester, Mass. With this plan in view he visited the Hart- ford Rubber Works yesterday for his pay. But officials there had been acquainted with the probationary regulations and Mr. Connolly was notified. Sariski was taken into cus- tody. He explained that he and M Sariski greatly disliked the publi attending their matrimonial troubles and had decided to move to Wor- cester, where they were married and formerly lived. Mrs. Sariski said that it was the first she had heard about leaving for their old home. Samuel Fenberg was fined $4 for violation of the motor vehicle law in operating an automobile without proper license markers and an operg ator’s license. He was summoned by Trafic Policeman Theodore Johnson. Fenberg explained that he was en- gaged in repairing cars and did not expect to operate them so did not take out an operator’s license. He also explained that he was unaware that the license markers had been temporarily removed and simply took out the machine to test it for several blocks and got farther away from the garage than he had planned. The accused was formerly a chauffeur in Hartford and has but recently re- turned from California. William Delaney, who recently re- turned from Nogales, Arizona, whers he was on duty with the militia, was arraigned for violation of probation. Probation was revoked and he was ordered to pay $18, the amount due from him, according to Probation Of- ficer Connolly, It was charged that Delaney appeared at the Stanley Works yesterday under the influence of liquor and demanded his pay. De- laney said that, after his militia ser- vice, he found inside work irksome and had secured a position with an express company duriag the holidays. ROCKEFELLER, JR., OUT AS FOUNDATION HEAD Probation for 195 High street, Will Relinquish Office of President to Dr. Vincent of Minnesota University. New York, Nov. ~John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,, president of the Rockefeller Foundation since it was chartered in 1913, will relinquish that position on May 15, 1917, to become chairman of the board of trustees, it was announced at the office at 26 Broadway, last night. He will be suct ceeded by Dr. George Edgar Vincent, president of the University of Minne- sota and formerly dean of the Facul- ties of Art, Literatmre and Science in the University of Chicago. Dr. Vincent agreed to accept the office on condition that his salary as the ex- ecutive head of the $100,000,000 or- ganization remain the same as that which he now receives from the uni- | versity. He made this stipulation be- cause he did not wish to create the impressipn that he was attracted to the new position for financial reasons. The reason given for Rockefeller, Jr.'s' retirement was that the growing scope of the Foundation demanded that either he, or somie one else fitted for the task, give it his entire ateA- tion. There will be no change in the pol- icy of the foundation, it was an- nounced, and Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., will remain in close touch with all of its« activities. The foundation has been active in research and relief work in Europe, and, although the fund for Belgium was recently discontinued, such of the work as remains will be advanced with renewed energy under Dr. Vincent’s direction.
