Bixty of the men ‘| agreed to quit work for an increase of. wages and five others who. held out for some time were finally won over by the strike agitators. The men who refused to join the strikers boarded the special train while it was on the sid- ing in the freight yard. The strik- ers claim that they have to spend con- siderable time at Midway walting for the special train to pull out for West- erly after they have completed their work and they ask for overtime. The trouble was anticipated by the offi- cials of the New Haven road, so a de- tective was sent to Westerly Thurs- day morning. ~He secured the services of Officer Fred T. Mitchell of the Westerly police force, but there was no disorder. The sale of the lumber yards and buildings of Babcock and Wilcox to the R. A. Sherman Sons’ company, pre- viously announced in this column, gives the purchasers an equipment which will make their plant the larg- est in Southern Rhode Island. The vards of the Babcock and Wilcox com- pany are situated adjacent to the Sherman yards, so that the company will have considerable more dockage on the Pawcatuck river. ‘The dis- 1..| continuance of the firm of Babcock and Wilcox -will mark the closing of one of Westerly’s well known business con- cerns of over 20 years' standing. The firm was established in 1869 at its present location on Main street. Her- bert C. Babcock, the senior member of the firm went to work for W. and H. Langworthy in 1873 and continued with that concern for several years. In 1896 Mr. Babcock entered into partner- ship with Frank N. Wilcox, now a coal dealer in Pawcatuck. Mr. Wilcox re- tired from the lumber business 12 years ago and Herbert M. Swinney became a partner of Mr. Babcock. The firm name of Babcock and Wilcox was retained by them.

It was exhibited at last night's meeting and many of the older members enjoyed picking out a number of famiilar faces of the old residents of the town. The pic- ture is 12x16 inches in dimensions and will probably be framed. The picture also shows a good view of the old Pawcatuck hotel bullding which then had a big balcony in front supported by big wooden pillows. Local Laconics. ‘The schooner Grace P.

Independence, Ky., Feb. 10—Telling his story by signs, Harry England, a deaf mute, today conveyed to another deaf mute the information that Mr. and Mvs Bdward Sagers were mur- dered at their home near here by a man with a moustache and that this man Lad thrown stones at him be- fore escaping toward the railroad tracks. The bodies of the man and woman were found with bullet holes through their heads late Tuesday night. Immediately following the rather dis- Jjointed story of England, the coroner Tendered a verdict that the Sagers were killed “by a person unknown to this jury.” England cannot read, write or con- verse in the usual way of dear munes, but an interpreter, a deaf mute him- self, managed to get a statement from him by what is known among mutes as “natural signs.” The authorities doubt whether other than the deaf mute's testimony can be obtained from England, owing to the peculiar difficuities in frying to make him understand them and to under- stand what he tries to convey to them. England is believed to have been the only witness of the murder. 17 CERMAN SUBMARINES CAUGHT IN BRITISH NETS. Story Told by Dr. M. S. Inglis, a Can- adian Army Surgeon. New York, Feb. 10.—Dr. M. S. In- glis, a Canadian army surgeon, Who arrived today on the Anchor line Cam- eronla from Liverpool, declared that he had knowledge of the capture in British nets of seventeen German sub- marines and told how the crew of one of them had been found shot to death after it had been towed ashore. Dr. Inglis saild he had been allowed to descend into this submarine and had seen the bodies. “To save them from death by suf- focation,” he said,-“the commander had shot all bis men and then himself, ap- ‘parently. Dr. Inglis added that the British are now making use of glass bottom. boats with more or less success in scout- ing for submarines, In conjunction with & hydroplane fleet, The glass used, he said, furnishes a clear view of the ‘water to a depth of fifty to sixty feet.

New Orleans, Feb. 10.—Dr. Paul Roh, German consul at New Orleans, today admitted to The Assoclated Press that he wrote the letter taken at Falmouth by British agents from Captain Franz Von Papen, recalled German military attache, and which British officials said was signed with the initials “R. V. M.,”” and ascribed by them to R. Von Mey- senbug, former German consul at New leans. Dr. Roh was shown a photographic copy of the letter which has been re- ceived from London. The handwriting on the photographic copy resembled that of Dr. Roh on official papers in the possession of other persons here, and, when told of this, the German consul readily said he wrote it. only Von .Meysenbug in this s Baron Ernest Von Maysenbug, formerly acting German consul here, but who for several years has been en- aged in the cotton business. Dr. Roh in a statement to The Associated Press said he admitted writing the Von Pa- pen letter in order to clear Baron Von Meysenbug of any connection what- ever with the letter which might have been attributed to him. The translation of the letter as giv- en out at the time by British officials follows: “New Orleans, 4 December, 1915. “Dear Herr Von Papen: I read with great regret that the fate of recall has .indeed overcome you. I don't suppose that you are very unhappy to be able to shake the dust of this unfriendly country from your feet. - What chiefly offends me is that in always giving Wway to the government here we have never found that they are kindly dis- posed towards -us, That the demand for the recall has been so sudden and belated throws an interesting light up- on the government here. May there also the day of reckoning come and our government find again that iron determination with which alone can make an impression here. “Hoping that our connection formed in this great time will not come to an end with your departure, I am, yours sincerely, R V.

(Continued from Page One) army, automatically becomes secretary of war ad interim. Opposed to Reorganization of National Guard. It is known that one of Secretary Garrison’s principal reasons for his conviction that only a federal Con- tinental army, instead of a reorganiz- ed national guard, could be the main military dependence of the nation was his belief that some day the United States may be called upon to defend the Monroe Doctris€ and In that event he foresaw that the national guard might be available for use outside the United States before a declaration of war. Continental Army Only Reliance. Upon the contention, on one hand, thaat the continental army, or unti- mately universal service, was the na- tion’s only reliance and the position on the other that no one plan could be enforced upon congress, President ‘Wilson and his secretary of war part- ed official company. Resignations a Complete Surprise. Mr. Garrison's resignstion was complete surprise to official Wuhln‘- ton generally. He made no personal explanation. Several hours before the official announcement he . had boarded & train with his wife for New York and word had been passed at the department that he had gone for an indefinite stay. Wcute Differences of Opinion. The acute differences of opinion which led to the break began early in the year when opposition to the con- tinental army plan began developing in congress. There had been in- definite rumors of the possibility of the secretary of war leaving the cab- inet, but they: never were countenanced in official quarters. The secretary evervwhere was regarded as one of the strong men-of the administration upon whom the president leaned in the ‘dif- ficult situations, both domestic and in- ternational, which have marked his administration. Circumstances Which Led to Resigna- tion. ‘The circumstances which led up to the resignation are detafled in the se retary’s correspondence with the pres- ident which was made public tonight by the White House, The president, the letters disclose, believes that. the training, orgenization and control of a military reserve should bé under im- medinté federal direction, but is not “Irrevocably or -dogmatically committed to any one plan.” . He wrote Mr. Gar- rison that he could not force any specific plan on congress and added: “L..must, . welcolp. a frank inter- change of views and a . patient FITTED CORSET COVERS which would CORSET COVERS, SHORT SKIRTS, LONG SKIRTS, GOWNS AND CHEM- In this lot of beautlfully made garments you will find some in flesh color—all in the most effective styles.

Mr. Garrison's contention that only the plans of the war department could be considered seemed to the presi- dent “wholly unjustifiable.” Mr. Gar- Tison considered ‘“reliance upon the militia for national defense as un- Justifilable and imperilling of the na- tion’s safety.” In resigning he wrote the presi- dent: “It is evident that we hopelessly dis- agree upon what I conceive to be fun- damental principles.” Opposed to Philippine Bill. Mr. Garrison characterized the Clark amendment to the Philippine bill providing conditionally for the inde- pendence of the islands within four years “an abandonment of the duty of this nation and a breach of’trust for the Filipinos.” The president replled it was his judgment that the Clarke amendment was “unwise at this time” but added “it would clearly be most inadvisable for me to take the position that I must dissent from that action should both houses of congress concur in a bill embodying that amendment.” = He sald he must withhold judgment until the final action was before him in definite form. Facing a Critical Juncture. On January 12 Secretary Garrison wrote the president “We are facing a critical juncture with respect to the military “part of the national defense programme” and declared he felt that unless the situation is dealt with promptly and effectively “we can in- dulge in no reasonable expectation of any acceptable result.” He insisted that there could be no substantial solution which did not result in forces under the exclusiove control and authority of the national government. Admitting that there could be legitimate discussion over the means of obtaining these ' national forces the secretary asserted from the beginning of the government the ac- knowledged weakness of the situation arose out of lack of any system produc- ing federa] forces. “The situation was rendered worse,” he added, “by the presence of state troops, raised, officered, trained and governed by thesstates.” Distinct Differehce Between Troops. There is a'distinct line of cleavage, ‘Mr. Garrison held, between reliance upon a system of state troops and reli- ance upon national forces. - “Upon this subject,” he said in his letter to the president, “there does not exist, and there cannot legitimately exist, any difference of opinion among those who are unbiased and who believe in real national . security and defense.” He declared that if a policy based upon the reliance on state troops was adopt- ed, “not only had. no_advance. been the deplorable and inex- SEVERELY SIMPLE effect is almost as the styles are beautiful.

CAMISCRES C.'. . ... ..c." cusable eituation in which we have so long been, but an effective block had been placed across the pathway tow- ards proper settlement.” Criticizes Plans of Chairman Hay. The secretary severely criticized the national guard plans of Chairman Hay of the house military committee, say- ng: “In my judgment, the effect of the enactment of Mr. Hay's programme would be to set back the whole cause of legitimate, honest, national defense in an entirely unjustifiable and inex- cusablé way. It would be in my juds- ment a betrayal of a trust of the peo- ple in this regard. It would be illusory and apparent without any reality or substance. “There is, unfortunately, very little knowledge and very little intense per- sonal interest in any of the members of the:hausé concerning military af- airs.” Mr. Garrison declared further that Mr. Hay had the power of dealing with a_subject concerning which “the rest of the house has no knowledge, and about which it has never concerned it- self,” and suggested that Mr. Hay's proposal of settling this matter by voting money to the members of state troops appealed to “the direct al, political interest of the members.” Draft Proposed by Mr. Hay. Mr. Hay's proposal to include a draft provision so that at the outbreak of war the national guard could be brought under control of the national government was characterized by Mr. Garrison as utterly falling to meet the essential objections to the perpetuation of a militia system. He Insisted the difficulty did not arise out of the gov- ernment not being able to take over these troops, but out of its inability, under the constitution, to have “essential unity of responsibility, An- thority and control in the raising, o cering, training and governing of its military forces.”" Garrison Stated His Position. Following an' interview between the president and Mr. Garrison on the army plans, the secretary again wrote the president, specifically stating his position. The president informed him that Mr. Hay had told him a federal voluntéer system could not be obtain- ed and that the same end could be ac- complished by utilizing the state troops and making appropriations to pay to the states on condition that the federal government control the militia. > Mr. Garrison then replied ‘that the continental army plan n‘boolnkely dis- | take carded a military system based upon state troops and that the two systems were diametrically opposed to each other and {irreconciliable. challenged,” he wrote, “by the situation to' declare ourselves pmmpt- ly, openly and unequivocally be charged propefly with hck of flne!fl!’ and good fall numwu.ucnm.sm He added- flntllne‘«ll\ ‘Wilson's cent ELABORATELY BEAUTIFUL There are so many of these wonderfully sheer garments, andtheauortmentnsolremendoullyvnned,thlltho —it fairly takes ones breath.

The president wrote in reply that he and the secretary agreed that thom training, organiza- tion and control of that reservé should be under immediate federal direction.”™ He declined, however, to take an ir- revocable stand on the that it would have to take his j - Or none. He declared he did not believe mem- bers of the house dealing with mili- tary affairs were ignorant of the mili- tary necessities of the natfon, but had found tfém well info: He said he would welcome a frank interchange of views, but added “no one will expect me to acquiesce in any proposal that I regard imadequate or illusory.” Should a bill be pre- sented to him which he mula not ac- cept as accomplishing essential thing sought, he said, it mld be his duty to veto it and go to the country on its merits. Thé views of the president and Mr. Garrison were reviewed in other let- ters, which culminated in the offering and acceptance of the secretary’s res- ignation. a4 _— URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take a glass of Salts i your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you —Drink _more water.
