CAPELLE COUP A BLUNDER
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 18
Instead of executing a successful coup
and strengthening Its position by giving out
news of a mutiny in the German navy,
tha Imperial Government at Berlin found it
had only blundered again. This was ths
explanation placed today upon tho efforts
of the German Admiralty to "cover up"
and to make It appear that the revolution
ary plot was exaggerated and not nearly
bo far-reaching as pictured last week.
The political situation, revolving around
the question of peace terms, has now re
solved Itself Into absolute chaos. The
newspapers are divided Into factional
groups, each clamoring for Iti pet theories
as to how to win the war or to bring about
an early peace.
Tho Kaiser is expected to return to Ber
lin next Sunday, said a dispatch from that
city today, when ho may take a. hand In
trying to end tho disorganization which hag
been growing since the majority bloo Jam

Over '
TO TAKE SMALLER CRAFT
Further Orders Will Increase
1,500,000 Tonnage Now Under
Shipping board's Control
WASHINGTON, Oct 15
America's merchant marine today ras
conscripted for war duty. Tho order of the
Bhlpplnr Board requisitioning; all privately
owned American vessels of 2600 tons or oer
went Into effect this morning;.
According to ths estimates of the Ship
ping Hoard some 4S0 ships, aggregating a
tonnago of approximately 1,600,000 tons,
passed Into the control of the United States
Go eminent.
These ships will be directly under the
control of Edward V. Carry, director of
operations, and the chartering hoard. A
series of conferences 111 begin Immediately
to determine what shall bo done with tho
vessels. For the most part Individual ships
will bo turned back to tholr owner to be
operated under the direction of the charter
ing bonrd at rates to bo set by that board.
This step I taken to gho the Shipping
Hoard power oer ocean-going rates, and to
equalise freight rates from American portn.
It Is hoped hat this will nut nn end to
speculation In ship bottoms, which has
caused keen competition among the varlouu
Allies for shipping space. Under the new
arrangement excels shipping space will be
divided proportionately among tho Allies
by the Shipping Board
The conscription of American 'vessels Is
a preliminary step Within n few weeks
thero will bo another call, when all ves
sels of 2000 tons or oxer will bo requisi
tioned. There will then follow n third
order, which will tako ships of 1500 tons
or over. If the Shipping Hoard finally

nisks will be limited by the requisitioning
of these vessels. Tempted by the hh
freight rates, owners have been sending
unfit vessels across the ocean, and tucy
have also sent out ships which they know
aro too slow to evade submarines. AH oi
this will be stopped. The chartering board
will grant sailing papers to no vessel '
It doss not deem capable of standing a fair
chanco to elude the submarine or to put up
a fair running fight. This Is believed to bo
a step which will conserve American snip
ping. In a large mcasuro It will ell"j'na'e
tho gambling feature from the shipping in
dustry and will keep American vessels
Intact as far as possible. ,,i.,.
Many of the ships requisitioned tmlav
will bo taken out of the commercial serv
Ico and will bo mido Into naval csseK
Tho greater number of tho passenger ships
