New Britain food committee EXPOSE IN RUSSIA | WITNESS FOR BERLIN Michaelis Says It Prover Ger- many Did Not Want War Amsterdam, Sept.'5.—In an inter- view with a representative of the press the German chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, has made a statement of disclosures at the trial in Petrograd for high trea- son of Gen. Soukhomlinoff, former minister of war. Prominence has been given in the German press re- cently to testimony said to have been taken at the Soukhomlinoff trial tend- ing to show Russia’s responsibility for Jbeginning the war. The chancellor said: “The statemnts of the former Rus- slan war minister and the former chief of the general staff (Gen. Jan- uschkevitch) “are of the greatest im- portance. They are calculated com- pletely to destroy the legend of Ger: 'man guilt in starting the war, and they will force European opinion, it the Teports are allowed to be pub- lished abroad, to revise its judgment in Germany. “The moment at which these dis- closures were made is the more fav- orable as we have just had knowledge af the American reply to the Pope's note urging peace. In Secretary Lansing’s answer the German govern- ment is described as an irresponsible government which secretly planned to dominate thé world, which chose its own time for the war and cruelly and suddenly executed its plan, which did not heed legal barriers or truth- fulness, which flooded a great conti- nent with blood, not only of soldiers but of innocent women and children, the helpless and the. poor. When adopting these accusations from the Entente factory of calumnies, the American government obviously had no knowledge of the course of the pro- ceedings against Gen. Soukhomlinoff. Otherwise its judgment would certain- ly have been quite different.” “It. certainly is now established trrefufably,” Dr. Michaels said further “that it was not Germany which chose the time for the war, but the military party surrounding the czar, who was under the influence of France and England. It is well known that the German emperor, who, be- fore the war, clearly an on every occasion expressed his own desire and that of the German people for peace, especially regarding Russia, was sur- prised by the events which occurred during his pleasure trip in Sandan- vian waters. Up to the last moment, in the exchange of telegrams with the emperor of Russia and the king of Lngland he made the most earnest and fervent attempts in the interest of peace. “The importance of the new dis- closures is that the czar, who had to decide as to 'war or peace, in fact came to the conclusion from the Ger- man emperor’s efforts’ that Germany did not desire war, The consequence of this conclusion was his positive order to concel the Russian mobili- zation, but a couple of criminals who believed the czar, disregarded the order and thwarted its action. A consequence of the emperor’s efforts also was the czar's order to General Januschkevitch to give the ‘German embassador, Count Von Urpateles, as- surances of Russia’s desire for peace.” Did Not Suspect Soukhomlinoff. Petrograd, Sept, 6.—The testimony of M. Cutchkoff president of the third Duma, against Col. Miasoievoff, in the rial of M. Soukhomlinoff, former minister of war, and his wife, charged resdectively with high treason and as an accomplice in the crime was an- swered yesterday by Mr. Soukhomlin- off, who declared that he had np rea- son to suspect the colonel of being a spy. The former was minister ad- mitted receiving a number of letters reflecting on Miasotevoff but said that he would have had no assistants left if he had dismissed everybody who was similarly accused. Mme. Merkouloff, a cousin of Mme. Soukhomlinoft testified concerning Mme. Soukhomlinoft’s unhappy child- Pood and of the cruelty of her first husband, a rich house owner. She finally divorced him and married Soukhomlinoff. The lived simply and she added that, although Mme.

TO RECALL RETIRED FIREMEN. New Haven, Sept. 5.—Because of the scarcity of men in the fire de- partment all men on the retired list who are physically able have been or- dered to appear before the fire com- missioners at their next meeting.

LONDON RAIDED; DEAD TOTAL 11 (Continued From First Page.) Jority of the men were asleep at the time of the attack. The first indication of the presence of air raiders was the sound of en- gines overhead. The presence of high powered machine overhead did not cause much alarm because notices had been published: earlier in the evening that anti-aircraft practice would be carried out that night and when the guns began firing it was assumed that the prctice was in full swing. Then came the unexpected. Loud explo- sions were heard in one part of the district and then in another. The ex- plosions then ceased, but after a few minutes were heard again and judging by the sounds it seemed that the air raiders circled the town. In all ahout 17 bombs were dropped and the raiders are thought to have been over the district nearly an hour. Search- lights sought out the raiders, but they failed to locate them on ac- count of the haze. Account of Survivor. Tmmediately following the explo- sions in the barracks rescue parties were organized and the wounded were removed to hospitals, one of which came very near being a target for a bomb. Discipline prevailed com- pletely over any natural tendency at alarm in the barracks. All survivors were instantly at their quarters and the greitest coolness was shown. = A naval man, who was in the barracks at thé time, gave the following ac- count of the raid: “Most of us were asleep in our ham- mecks in the dormitory, which was in the large drill hall. We had no warning of any kind. Two clocks, which were blown into the adjoining parade ground, stopped at 11:12 o'clock, showing the hour of the ex- plosions. but T didn’t dream that anything so sudden could happen. “Before we knew what was hap- pening the roof was lifted off the shop, blown into the air and fell in a thousand pieces among the men. It was flying glass, which was thick and heavy, that did the damage. We were dashed out of our hammocks to the floor and all mixed up in broken glass. The men on each slde of me were both killed.” Blown Across Parade Grounds. Another man sleeping in a different section of the dormitory said that he did not wait to put on his shoes and did not know that he was walking on broken glass until long afterward, whe he found that his feet were bleeding. Still another man with a piece of glass in his head did not know it, the shock of the explosion being so ‘great, and a man who was blown across the parade ground and alighted on his feet declared that he did not feel ny the worse for his ex- perience. Some of the injured died during bitterly about their companions being lthe night and the survivors complain I have been in some scraps ! killed without an strike back “It we -have to die, we want to die fighting,” 'one bluejacket said. ‘“‘Most of us have seen fighting and we want another go at the Huns.” A remarkable feature of the raid was that a comparative few people in the bombed area were aware that there had been an attack until they arose the following morning. One bomb struck a small cottage, one of a row. The tenant and his daugh- ter, who went into the garden to see what was happcning, escaped injury, but his wife remained in the house and was killed. = Is Prussia Ready for Air Offensive? ““Has Germany got her great air of- fensive ready before ours?” is a ques- tion asked by a morning paper apro- pos of the invasion of England on three successive nights, and Field Marshal Haig’s: overnight report of aggressive cnemy airraft. Another paper, which assumes and frequently” warns of Germany’s intention to in- vade Englad with ,aircraft in very large fleet, says: “The enemy seems to be getting on rather fast with her invasion plans. The German craft came, bombed and departed. Our guns fired, and our aircraft went up, but without result according to the latest official reports. This is the ninth serious raid this summer and of 127 machines which have crossed our coast Germany mits the loss of only seven.” The pap refers to the growing casualty list and the relative immun- ity of the invaders and adds: “It cannot be said that we are get- ting on with our invasion plans fast- er than the enemy.” opportunity to aac SEVERAD ASSAULT SES Police Court Offers Only Few Inter- esting Incidents Today. Police court today offered only a few interesting incidents, several mi- nor assaults being the sum total. Lorenzo Mangini was charged with assaulting Tony Pepeini on Sunday afternoon.
