Letters Showing Germany "Used" Swede Envoy RECOMMENDED DECORATION Lansing Gives Out Tell Tale Letter From Von Eckhardt To Chancel lor, Asking Rsward For His Friend. Washington. Another chapter to the story of German intrigue In neutral countries and among neutral diplo mats was revealed by Secretary Lan sing, in the form of a letter to the Imperial Chancellor from the notorious Von Eckhardt, the German Minister at Mexico City, to whom the inter cepted Zimmermann note was ad dressed. Depended On Swede.

This letter was written on March 8, 1916, and apparently has been in the possession of the Ameri can Government for a long time.

The Liberty Motor, the airplane engine upon which the United States is relying to establish definite air supremacy over the Ger mans over the battlefields of France, has passed its final test and Is a com plete and gratifying success, Secretary Baker announced. In a fifteen-hundred-word announce ment, Secretary Baker told how the best brains and business of American motordom had contributed its secrets and achievements to the government to produce the Liberty Motor, which Is to carry the thousands of American airplanes over Germany. "Probably the war has produced no greater single achievement," the state ment says, and relates for the first time the story of the design and con struction of the new motor which has added n thrilling chapter to American engineering records. Secretary Baker says the motor is "now the main reliance of the United States In the rapid production in large numbers of high-power battle planes for service In the war." "In power, speed and serviceability and minimum weight," he continues, "the new engine InviteB comparison with the best that the European war has produced. The engine waB brought about through the co-operation of more than a score of engineers, who pooled their skill and trade secrets in the war emergency." t For obvious reasons specifications of the motor, details of its perform ance under test and arrangements made for its production in quantity are withheld, in conclusion, however, Mr. Baker says: "Progress has already been made toward organizing the Industry for the manufacture of the new machines and deliveries will begin in a com paratively short time." Back of that announcement stands the fact that American aviators in high-powered American-built machines will begin to appear in large numbers on the fighting lines early next year. Secretary Baker coupled with his announcement a formal request 'to the press, of the country to refrain from publication of any Information regard ing the Liberty Motor other than that included in his statement.

OW READY mm 13 a, w -A tvwi n ,rz. i ti-i - DESTROYERS BEAT OFF SIX U-BOATS Two Merchantmen and One Submarine Sunk U.S. STEAMER SENDS REPORT First Announcement By Navy Depart ment, Saying All Six Undersea Raiders Were Lost, Was Due To Error. Washington. A typographical error in transcribing a statement for the press from an official report to the Navy Department made It appear that six German submarines probably had been sunk off the French coast when they attacked a fleet of merchantmen, Including at least one American ves sel. The facts are, so far as known, that one submarine probably was de stroyed and two of the steamers went down. A corrected statement was is sued by Secretary Daniels as soon as the error was discovered. The Department has only a meagre account of the fight and additional details have been asked for by cable. The report came from the American tanker Weistwego through Paris, the vessel apparently having reached a French port after the fight. The names and nationality of the two ships lost' were not given. The Westwego was en route to Eu rope and' from the fact that she was cruising In company with other mer chant craft navy officers assumed that the fleet was under convoy of naval vessels, probably of American de stroyers. The tanker reported Sep tember 8, the fight having occurred September 5. The brief statement re ceived from Paris said that six sub marines had made a massed attack on the merchant floU'la; that two of the steamers were sunk and that one of the submarines probably was lost. The Westwego is 'an armed vessel, but there was nothing in the message to Indicate whether the other ships also were armed. In preparing for the press In the bureau of operations of the Navy De partment a statement of the contents of the dispatch It was written that "ull" of the six submarines probably had been lost. Later, on checking over the message and the statement issued to the press. It was found that the word was "one" in the dispatch. The mistake was not discovered until several hours after the country had been electrified by the report of the wholesale sinking of German U- boats. This statement then was issued by Secretary Daniels: "My attention has just been called to a serious error made In transcrib ing the report of the attack made on the Westwego and other vessels. I gave the report to the press exactly as It was presented ' to me, stating that 'two of the steamers were lost.' The cablegram, I now find, stated that 'one' of the submarines probably was lost." Attacked Once Before. The Westwego, an oil tank steamer, was built in Germany in 1914 for Reu manlan account under the name of the Steaua Romana. Later her reg istry was changed to American and afterward her name was made West wego. The vessel was of 3,050 tons net and she carried a crew of 42 men. Latest reports show she was in an American port August 8 and later sailed on a trans-Atlantic voyage com manded by Captain Mulcoy. THE COUNTRY AT LARGE Dr. FranclB O.

WAR TAX BILL PASSED Bf SENATE Postal Increases on Second Class Matter Defeated CONSUMPTION TAXES KILLED Borah, Gronna, La Follette and Norrlt Vote Against the Measure, While Johnson, Hollla, Reed and Kinyon Vote For It. Washington. The Two and-one-half-billlon-dollar War Revenue Bill was passed by the Senate by a vote of 69 to 4. Borah, of Idnho; Gronna, of North Dakota; La Follette, of Wiscon sin, and Norrls, of Nebraska, voted against the measure. Others who had fought bard for ex treme taxation of wealth, such as John son, of California; Hollls, of New Hampshire; Reed, of Missouri, and Kenyon, of Iowa, all voted aye. In the last hours of the passage of the bill the consumption taxes upon coffee, tea, sugar and cocoa were cut out of tbe bill. So were the postal In creases on second class matter, which would have affected chiefly newspa pers and magazines. Senator Hardwlck's proposal to tax the Incomes above $50,000 a flat 10 per cent, and use the revenue to pay American soldiers in France a $50 monthly bonus was overwhelmingly rejected by a viva voce vote. An attempt to substitute an entire ly new bill was made by Senator La Follette. This would have raised about $3,500,000,000 on income taxes, war profits and tobacco and liquors. Tbe Senate refused to accept it. The Senate declared itself unwilling ly to uphold the Finance Committee in repealing the "draw back" upon sugar bought here, refined and then export ed. Tbe "drawback" stll' stands as a law. Last year It would have paid $19,000,000 to the government In taxes which, without the drawback, the sugar refiners would have to pay as a tax. At the last moment Senator Bran degee, of Connecticut, succeeded In having operation of the bill confined to the duration of the war. The bill now goes to conference be tween the House and Senate, where the differences will be threshed out. It is hoped that within a fortnight all matters of dispute will have been ad justed and the President will be able to afix his signature and convert the proposed taxation measure into law. Senators Simmons, Stone, Williams, Penrose and Lodge were appointed to represent the Senate In the confer ence. U-BOATS' TOLL DECREASES. Twelve Large and Six Small Vessels Victims Last Week. London.

When about 1,500 miles from Gibraltar, he said, the U-boat ordered him to stop. The submarine then kept behind the schooner until the ap proaching tank ship was within range. When it began the attack tbe naval guard returned the fire, the eighth shot striking the German boat and sinking it within Bight of the schooner's crew. Both steamer and schooner escaped in Jury.
