Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg in addressing the Reichstag to-day.
The chancellor made it clear that in his opinion it would be folly
for Germany to propose peace "as long as in the countries of our
enemies guilt and ignorance of statesmanship are entangled with
a confusion of public opinion."

In his address Chancellor Hollweg made
response to the Socialist interpellation,
"Is the imperial chancellor ready to give
information as to the conditions under
which be would be willing to enter peace
negotiations?" In his reply the chancel
lor, with impassioned force, stated his
position. His remarks were cheered with
great enthusiasm.
The chancellor began bis address by
sying: "In the countries at war with
(iermany there has been much discussion
of the Socialist interpellation and the
knowledge that jwace was to be dis
cussed in the Reichstag has been the
source of satisfaction in these countries.
This is incomprehensible in view of the
eiicees won in the campaign against Ser
bia, which opened the road to Germany's
Turkish allies and threatened the most
vulnerable point of the British empire.
Although this situation would explain a
iesire for peace on the part of the en
emies, none had made overtures."

held in Manufacturers' hall Yesterday-
afternoon, culminating in the evening
with a most enjoyable banquet at Hotel
isarre. Unsettled industrial conditions
last spring to the contrary notwithstand
ing, the-officers' records of the 12-month,
as read yesterday, point unmistakably to
a year of fine accomplishments and hold
the prophecy of substantial business in
creases in 1916. The business meeting
and the banquet served to bring together
nearly every granite manufacturer in
Barre, Kast. Barre, Williamstown, Mont-,
pelier, Waterbury, Xorthtield and West
Berlin, and their number was, augmented
by a number of invited guests at the
banquet, including city officials and the
representatives of several trade journals
in the East.
At 1 o'clock the directors met in ex
ecutive session and an hour later the
regular meeting began. Reports read bv
the secretary-treasurer, the president and
several committees all bespoke the firm
purpose of the association in boosting
Barre granite. Sec. H. P. Hinman's re
view of the year, his first in that capac
ity, by the way, told in detail of the
vear's doings in the granite plants'. Near
ly 140 manufacturers, the largest enroll
ment ever, are now members of the asso-
nation.

are as follows: President, Alexander Hun
can of the N'orth Barre Granite Co.; first
vice-president, T. K. Callahan of the Co

A vote of thank was-tendered H. J. M.
lone for his faithful performance of
lutv in the executive office and then the
manufacturer turned from the more ex-
ting demands of business in refresh
ment. G(irii Robin of Robin Pros.,
held up the handle end of the punch la lie
and from the hour of adjournment until
o clock, w hen the banquet fogan, the
buffet service in one corner of the hall
wa noticeably popular.

Even the commodious dining-room at
Hotel Barre wa scarcely large enough tn
accommodate th diner who sought
place at banquet time. Never one
