London, Dec. an. It is stated on ex eelleut authority that the Cabinet has virtually decided upon a modified form- of Conscription bill, to be intro duced in the Mouse of Commons next week, uivinf' the llovernnieut the necessary power, should it be found needful, to tiring in sigle men and keep Premier Asqulth's pledge to married men. Yesterday's Cabinet meeting, al though it failed to obtain an agree ment of all the Ministers on the vex ed question of the voluntary system versus conscription, was of a very critical and decisive character, and virtually reached the decision that the application of force might become necessary before all eligible single men were effectually brought to the colors. Therefore it was resolved that at the earliest opportunity a bill should be introduced in Parliament in order that the Government might liave'ttie necessary power, should it be found that no other course was effective to this end. Premier Asipiith is expected to make a statement on the whole ques tion in the ilou.se of Commons on Wednesday or Thursday of next week and announce the speedy introduction of a bill of a permissive character, making service in the army obliga tory on unmarried men who have fail ed to attest under tiro Derby scheme. The - anti-conscriptionifst Ministers offered strong opposition, and it is still unknown whether any resigna tions will tollow. It is believed, how ever, that this ia quite likely now.' HOLIDAY RECEPTION Given at the Y. M. C. A. For the Home Comers. Last evening over one ' hundred young people gathered at tlie Y. M. C. A. for a social evening. The idea was to hold something of a reception by the stay-at-homes for those away at school or employed out of town, and there was a good mixture of both classes. Tho early part of the evening was given to games, for which no place in town excels the Y. M. C. A., with its bowling alleys, billard tables, ping jKiug, shuffle-board, miniature bowl ing alley, etc. The young women improved the opportunity to have a chance at these games and the boys were willing tutors. Music whs furnished by Hurley's orchestra.' and' dancing took place in the gymnasium.- The older people present made frequent comment on the charm which the presence of the young women brought to the build ing, and it wtts agreed upon that the nssociaticii should naturally promote Iictiyilies in which both sexes enn participate. The .evening was planned by a com mittee consisting of Cebra Graves, Haviland Sibley. Charles Mills. Mc Clean ShaKslioher, Gordon urke, Ed ward Jenney, Fred Austin, George .Mathers, William Cone, Kugene Hurt and Kdmtind Howe. The Ladies' Auxiliary, under the direction of Mrs. J. U. Wilson and Mrs. Homer Webster dispensed ir resistable punch and cakes. The patronesses were Mrs. Charles Dew ey, Mrs. George Hawks, Mrs. T. A. Davenport, Mrs. H. R. Pilling. Mrs. G. S. Mills, Mrs. Emma Hogel, Mrs. O. A. Cummins and Mrs. F. K. Howe. The party hrolto up early in con sideration of what had preceded it and what is to follow it in the social whirl of the week. Everybody had a good time, and those who read the poster, "You May Come Again" will be interested to learn that that means something like last night's party is to be a monthly institution at the "Y".

Various developments, it was agreed might avoid such an eventuality, but none of the counter proposals which it has been intimated the Vienna for eign office might advance have been regarded so far as coming within Sec retary Lansing's renewal of the demand-! for disavowal, reparation and punishment of the submarine com mander who sunk the Ancona. with the loss of more than a dozen Ameri can lives.

"Sofia newspapers announce that Bulgaria has decided, pending a re turn to normal conditions, that, ail property belonging to the State, Church and schools in occupied Ser bian regions shall be administered l,y the Bulgarian Government. At the same time the 'Minister of Public Property' will, by circulars, Indicat" to the Presidents of numieipalitk-s and the prefects and administrations of the 'former Kingdom of Serbia' the manner of handling public property and property without owner.' "According to information given by Bulgarians will accept. Serbian money at U5 per cent., and nickel at 50 per cent. The Austvians are giving only centimes for a dinar. (In normal limes a dinar is equal to a franc. 20 cents.) "nulgnrian financiers fear that Bul garla will be flooded with Serbian sil ver. The Finance Minister has de cided not to accept Serbian paper money, because, it is stated, the Ser bian National Hank quit the country with a stock of (11,000,000 dinars, leaving 1180.000.000 of dinars in paper money among the population.' To re lieve the misery of the population the Bulgarian Government has applied to Austria and Germany with a view to a settlement of tho Serbian montary question, but. the exchanges of views thus far have been without result. Tho offer of a Sofia bank, saying that it is ready to accept Serbian paper at 00 per cent., is being considered." and and wilt "run until the end of GREEN MOUNTAIN CLUB Will Join in Snow Shoe Hike with Appalachian Club Tho members of the Green mount ain club nro invited to join with the Appalachian club In a snow shoe trip up Green Peak iu Dorset tomorrow.

HOME FOR FEEBLE MINDED Opened at Brandon Has 22 Inmates Many Improvements Made Gov. Charles W. Gates met with the Stale Home for Feeble Minded in Brandon this week, to look over the ir.i.iov(!inents which have but recent ly been made ou the buildings. The home, of which Dr. Frederick J. Russell is superintendent, and which was made possible by the ap propriation of the legislature of 1014 now has room to care for 27 children and there are at present 22 at the home. This ir, lesi than one-half the number oi applications. Forest Park Farms at Brandon w ere purchased and the buildings have been put into proper repair at a total cost, i;i hiding purchase price and improvements, of a trifle less than J20.00H. This leaves a little over $45,OnO of the appropriation made by tho legislature which was il5.ono, and the work will be begun ns soon as possible in the spring on new buildings on the farm. The latest, improvement at the farm is the connecting up with a six-inch main to the village) water supply, which will take care cf any future de mands made by tho home with an ex ceptionally good supply of water. The plumbing- has also been made modern and all of the buildings on tho farm are lilted for permanent use so that the home, which was bought at a low figure makes it very good purchase for the state. Plans for the new buildings are already under way and an architect will be put. ;t work on them so that building will probab ly be begun in early spring. Those hildren who are at the home are un der proper supervision, taught to work much on the same plan as that by which the industrial school at Yer genues is carried on.

The ceremony, which took place at Foresters' hall, was also witnessed by a considerable number of residents of the village, personal friends of the bride and her family. who were the most intensely interested observors of the service for the rea son that it was so strikingly differ ent from the ritual used in their own marriage ceremonies. To the strains of the bridal chorus, played 1y Donnelly's orchestra, the bridal party marched to the altar which had been erected under a silk canopy at the head of tho hall.

Peter, Louis and Harold Sch'ff of Adams and Yale Sanson of Jeannette, Pa. Eight, o'clock was the hour set for the service but because of the in ability of a number of the New York guests to reach the hall at that time there was a delay of more than an hour which was en.ioyably utilized by the young people In dancing. Im mediately following the ceremony some of the matrons formed a circle and demonstrated to the rising gen eration how one should dance and dance right at a wedding. The ex hibition was roundly applauded. The bride, who is the daughter of one of Bennington's prosperous mer chant tailors, received her education In the Bennington public schools and at. the Bliss business college and since receiving her diploma from the latter institution has been em ployed in the offices of a number of the local business men.

New York. . Dec 29.r-Eight jnen, in eluding a congressman, a former, con- mer attorney-general of Ohio, were in dieted yesterday by a federal grand jury on a charge of conspiring to fo ment strikes in American munition factories as part of a campaign, fin anced by tha German government to check the exportation of munitions to' the entente allies. The men in dicted were Congressman , Frank Bu chanan of Illinois, former Congress man H. Robert Fowler of llllonlB, Frank S. Monnett, former attorney general of Ohio, IL . Martin, Herman Schultels, Franz von Rlntelen, Da vid Lamar and Jacob C. Taylor. All of the men, except Von Rintelen and Lamar, are officer! or former officers of labor's national peace council. The government charges that . this organization was financed by Franz von Rintelen, a German agent, to in stigate Ftrlkes in munition plants while ostensibly working in the Inter ests of international peace. Van Rin telen is at present a prisoner of war In England. Lamar, known as the '"wolf of Wall street,'' is said to have been his paymaster. No warrants were issued for the ar rest of any of the indicted men, aa District Attorney H. Snowdeu .Mar shall stated that he had reason to be lieve most of the defendants fS would appear voluntarily to enter pleas. ; The Indictment of Monnett was. the sensation of the grand jury's proceed ings. The bills against his seven co defendants had been predicted for severil weeks, but Monnett's name had never been mentioned. Accord ing to federal officials, Monnett, Fow ler, Buchanan and Lamar were Indict ed as the leaders in the alleged con spiracy. -!.- Von Rintelen, according to United States secret service agents, finally discovered that he was pouring out his money to no result except to en rich the men ho employed as ' his agents. Some strikes wero called. but they failed to have any important effect on the exportation of muni tions. The German agent decided to leave the country. When Von Rintelen was taken pris oner by the British a mass of docu ments were also seized nnd turned over to the American authorities. Vcting on the information obtained from these papers an investigation was started into the activities of the peace council. The indictments yesterday ar the final results of tho grand jury's work which has lasted four months. HATCH RELEASED ON BAIL Will Be Triad for Murder of Brov.i St. Johnsbury ' "'" St. Johnsbury.
