ARCHIBALD FACES
PRISON SENTENCE
UPON HIS RETURN
President Orders Prosecu
tion for Carrying Dum
ba's Messages
I TO RECALL VON PAPEN
WASHINGTON. Bept. It
Prrsldent Wilson hu Issued order to
the Department of Justice to prosecute
James V. J Archibald, the American
correspondent who carried tlio now fn
tnouft Doctor Dumba letters, to tho full
extent of the law. This became known
heret today on the hlRhest authority.
The President, It Is learned, has be
come aroused orer the Archibald situa
tion. And Is determined to make an ex
omple ot him. Ite desires that Archibald
bo sent tb prison If the law provides
uch a penalty, It Is understood. He be
lieves that In this way the using of
Americans cltlsens and American pass
ports by foreign Governments In carry
ing out their military schemes v. Ill be
effectually stopped.
Captain von Pupen. military attache of
the German Embassy, will bo sent home
at once If Secietary of Stote Lansing tells
Count von Bcrnstorrf today thnt ho de
elres It This became known at tho Ger
man Embassy today.
Von Papcn will Join tho German army
in the field. The United States will be
asked to fui nlsh him n safe conduct home.
It also developed today in connection
wltH Von Fapon's Implication In the
Dumba-Archlbald case that Von Papcn
wrote letters and entrusted them to
Archibald without consulting Bcrnstorff.
The Ambassador would have advised
against It, It was learned, knowing the
danger of arrest and detention that Arch
ibald ran. That Von Papen faces dis
missal from Washington and that Dumba
will be recalled by his Government Is due
solely. It became known, to their ovn
lgnor-nce concerning the chances Archi
bald .-an.
Secretary Lansing will take up this
matter "with the Ambassador at their con
ference. It waB Understood,
The Ambassador, however, will deny
Von Papen's of Dumba's guilt In "employ
Ins" Archibald as a messenger, It became
know'i Archibald. It was understood,
came, forward and orfered his services, but
whether for a consideration or otherw Iso
was not ijtnown.
James F. 1. Archibald took with him
from New York a letter from Captain von
Papen to the latter's wife, who Is In
Germany. This letter, together with tho
more Important documents intrusted to
Archibald for delivery In Vienna and Ber
lin, was taken from Archibald's' effects
when lie arrived at Falmouth, Eng., on
the Rotterdam.
While It has been reported that In the
letter to his wife Captain von Papon
fiiado some slighting statements concern
ing American otllcials, there is no disposi
tion on the part of this Government to
hold., htm accountable for these private
views. The ceie ttgplngt Captain von
Paptn. se far as this Government is con
cerned. Is fouriA mainly In the following
extract from Ambassador Dumba's letter
to Count Burlan, with reference to tho
plan to cripple munitions plants:!
"I am under tho impression that we
could. If not entirely prevent the produc
tion ot -war material In Bethlehem and in
tho Middle West, at any rate strongly dls-
"organtze U and nold it up for months,
which, according to the statement of the
German military attache, is of great Im
portance, and which amply outweighs
the relatively small sacrifice of money."
This indicated that Captain von Papen
was one of those "who conspired," as
Secretary Lansing charged In his note to
the Austro-Hungnrtan Government re
questing Ambassador Dumba's recall, "to
cripple legitimate industries of the peo
ple of tho United States and to Interrupt
their legitimate trade."
CHICAGO, Sept. 13. Captain von Papen,
military attache to the German Embassy
Irr Washington, and Prince Hatzfcldt aro
-Today en route to Yellowstone Park,
which Is to be one of thelK objectives In
a "seeing America vacation " The Ger

yesterday. They stopped at an exclusive
Michigan avenue hotel, where they de
nied themselves to all callers exrentlnir
I a few friends, among whom wns Baron
Kurt von llerswiu, German Consul In
Chicago
A member of Von Papen's staff let
K It bo given out that he and Prince Hatz-
feiuti ur .ron "vacation ' and that they
are "seeing America."

The text of the communique follows:
"The night saw numerous combats with

was easily itpuUed. To the north of the
Souchez station there was continued ac
tivity by the artillery on both sides The

"An Intermittent cannonnade occurred
In Champagne nnd In the Argonnc.
"On the Loiralne front our batteries

LINER AFIRE AT SEA
The Sant' Anna
FIRE ABOARD LINER
QUENCHED, READS FLASH
Continued from Tnge One
late last night, announcing that fire had
been1 found on the SAnt' Anna, when she
was In latitude 40:23 north and longitude
47.30 west, every agency va brought Into
play to aid the burning chip. This mes
sage stated that tho ship was In dlstiess
and indicated that her position was
FCllOU.I.
News of tho outbreok of the lire on the
ship Immediately aroused the suspicion
that tho lire may have been of Incendiary
origin, because of the presence of Italian
r scrvlsts on board.
Tho marlno department of tho Dominion
Government flashed word, through the
Capo Itace wireless station, that nil avail
able help would bo sent to the Sant Anna.
It was expected thnt Government tugs
would be sent out to the assistance of
the burning ship, unless word was re
ceived thut tho blaze had been con
ti oiled.
The Sant Anna sailed from New York
for Naples nnd Marseilles on September
8, her depnrture having been delated for
21 hours until search could bo made for
bomb? on board.
A theory that the fire on the San Anna
might have been caused by a spy was
bioachcd today by David II. F. Jones,
a member of tho New York firm which
nets as the Fabre Line agents.
"Several of our vessels have been set
on fire recently by spies," said Mr.
Jones. "Ono bad fire was found nboard
tho Lord Erne. As a result we have had
our vessels under the closest watch while
In port. Wo exnmlned every piece of
freight taken on the Sant' Anna to guard
against bombs or Infernal machines that
might wreck tho vessel In mldoccan.
The Italian reservists on board tho
Sant' Anna gathered In Now York from
nil parts of the country. Upon their ar
rival there they icported to tho Italian
Consular General, and on showing their
credentials were supplied with tickets en
titling them to transportation on board
the vessel.
Though the Fabre Line agents had as
serted that the cargo of the Sant' Anna
wns made up chiefly of foodstuffs, the
ship's manifest showed that she also car
ried 3000 barrels of cottonseed oil, 88
freight cars, 42 casks of copper wire, 409
pieces of black pipe, 13 pieces of cyanide
of iodn, 10 caBes of potash salts, IS boxes
of machinery, 800 cases of brass rods and
1C00 bags of paraflln
The Sant Anna was built In 1910 at La
Seine, France, and was equipped with
modern safety devices. .She Is registered
as of 9350 tons gross and 5814 tons net.
She is 470 feet long.
She has a speed of 18 knots. Her equip
ment Is one of the most complete and Is
of palatial order, including a Parlslen
outdoor cafe on the promenade deck.

ZEPPELINS PROMPTLY
REPEAT RAID AGAINST
ENGLISH EAST COAST
Second Attack Within Twenty
four Hours Reported by
War Office No
Casualties
DETAILS KEPT SECRET
Forny on Saturday Followed by An
other Last Night Recruiting
Gets Big Boost
LONDON, sept. 13.
Zeppelin airships made another raid on
England Inst night. The German aerial
squadron dropped bombs on the eastern
coast, but an official statement Issued by
tho Pi ess Bureau shortly before 3 o'clock
this afternoon stated that no casualtlel
had resulted.
This was the second raid In 24 hours,
nnother having been made on Saturday
night.
London was again bombarded Satur
day night by Zeppelins for the third time
In Ave days.
According to a dispatch from Amster
dam, Count Zeppelin directed tho at
tacks. One report says he remained In
Emden, but another declares he accom
panied the fleet here.
Just ohw serious was the latest raid
cannot be said. Tho official Press Bu
reau is unusually reticent over this latest
lsltation of the German aerial craft. It
merely states that "another raid by Zep
pelins on the east coast was attempted
laBt night. Bombs wero dropped, but
there were no casualties."
As was the case In the loat two attacks,
however, an occasional sentence creeps
past the censors which indicates that the
latest raid was serlouB. One such sen
tence reads:
"Zeppelins tonight remain the sole topic
of conversation. Thoso of tho survivors
of the bombarded bulldtngB who are able
to relate their experiences aro In great
demand."
An official statement Issued In Berlin,
reaching hero via Amsterdam, says:
"The London docks and their environs
were successfully bombarded Saturday
night."

U. S. READY TO ARBITRATE
IN ARABIC ISSUES
Continued from Page One
whether or not the commander of tho
U-boat which sank the liner was war
ranted In believing the latter was trying
to rnm him It was understood also
that, assuming an arbitral decision
against tho submarino officer, Germany
would without further aigument, admit
her liability for financial damages on ac
count of the two American lives lost In
the affair.
This left still nt Issue the question of
future mistakes ot tho kind.
The only alternative, according to the
German view, was for the British to re
voko their "ramming" order, it was
suggested that If the I'nlted States
wished to prove herself really neutral,
she would tako this matter up with the
London Admiralty.
That the Administration would go to
the British with such a suggestion as the
one made by Germany was deemed most
unlikely.
There appeared, at any rate, no question
that Oermanv hurt nasiim.,! o .m.nU nn

tho fear was consequently expressed In
official circles that tho ultra-military

with the United States.
"There will bo no deadlock so long as
I'm alive," ho Bold, with distinct em
phasis. ABked whether he would see the Presi

made any request to meet the chief exec

the disposal of Secretary Lansing and his
chief at all times. Ho declined to say
when he expected to see Mr. Lansing
again, but Intimated that It would bo

posing as the wife of a Philadelphia
banker. In seeking contributions for a
home for tuberculosis children In New
Mexico, vtas acquitted before Judgo

false pretenses.
Lack of testimony on the part of wit
nesses who appeared against the woman
and the fact that the money was not
given to her because she was the bank
er's wife brought about tho verdict.

for Organizing Charity, .when told of the
verdict said: "The woman and her or
ganization Is a fake." Ha said he Is pre
pared to prove It.
The organization which Mrs. Smith said
