of Bernstorffs Perfidy Is Re

By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Kaiser Wilhelin reminds one of the
old-fashioned peddler of notions who
would keep adding packages of
needles, watches, and even silver coins,
to his little bundles of bargains until
a sale was effected. With northern
France and no Indemnities already In
his bargain offering, the emperor bus
added Belgium with conditions and
now It Is reported he and Emperor
Charles of Austrlu-llungury are pre
pared" to throw In Alsace, the price
being peace and the return of Ger
many's colonies. In a word, the Ger
man peace for which the kaiser shows,
to consuming a desire Is becoming less
German every day, and If the allies
Just say nothing and saw wood as
they probably will It may finally take
on an appearance that will warrant
their consideration.
To be sure, Chaucellor Mlchnclls
says that peace Is Impossible so long
as Germany's enemies demand any
German soil or try to drive a wedge
between the German emperor and his
people, but the chnncellor Is hard
pressed to save his political fortunes,
lie and Vice Chancellor IlelfTerlch are
' being bitterly attacked because of the
pulley of fostering pun-Germanism In
the country and the army and at the
same time making promises of mild
ness In return for peace. MIchiHls
was compelled to tell the rek-hstug
that he did not stand for the extreme
demands of the pun-Germunlsts, and
for the time being his opponents were

is pronounced.

take up this challenge of Vou Kuehl

statement is more culcuMcd (o pro
long the war," he said. "However
long the wnr may lust, Kngland In
tends to stand by France until she has
redeemed her oppressed children from
their foreign yoke."
Reasons Many and Plain.
The reasons for the kaiser's In
creasing moderation In demands are
not far to seek. They are. found In
the dally dispatches recording the re
peated successful thrusts of the allies
In Flanders; the advances of the Brit
ish In Mesopotamia and Africa; the
shortage of German shells; the grow
ing unrest In the armed forces of Ger
many, reaching the stuge of mutiny
In the fleet; the scarcity of food In
the centrul nations, and, perhaps most
potent of nil, the steady. Irresistible
progress of the United States toward
full preparation for war to a victori
ous conclusion.
Then, too, the kaiser sees added to
the list of his enemies more of the
fast dwindling lumber f those not
hitherto on that roll of honor. "Though

Mutiny on German Fleet
The revolt on the German high seas
fleet at Wllhelmshaven took place sev
erul weeks ago, but the facts have just
come out AJt least four battleships
were Involved and the crew of one
threw their captain overboard, drowa
Ing him. The mutineers landed, but
were forced to surrender to soldiers.
The crew of the Numbers seized the
vessel and started for Norway, but
were tuken by destroyers. The kaiser
went to Wllhelmshaven himself and
ordered one out of every seven mutl
neers shot, but the chancellor pro
tested and only three were executed
Minister of Marine von Capelle, In
forming the relclistag of the occur

approval of the plot of the rebels, and
said the plan of the latter was to re

and force peace upon the country. The
uccused deputies denied any guilt but
Von Capelle said be had documentary
proof,
The fact that Von Capelle did not
ask the relclistag to authorize the
prosecution of the deputies he named
leads to the suspicion that lie was try

the revolt was hulled as one of the
most encouraging signs of the, year

faction exists In the German naval
forces, which have not been subjected
to very severe hammering, the morale
of the army must be breaking down.

Allies' New Drive In Flanders. -

More of Bernstorffs Perfidy.
Secretary Lansing reached Into the
upper left-hand pigeon-hole of his desk
lust week and pulled out another neat
little expose of German methods. This
one hit Von Bernstorff again, rounding
out the. revelations of the count's per
fidy while this country and Germany
were still technically on friendly
terms. Three telegrams were made
public, two from the Germun foreign
office to Von Bernstorff Instructing
him to stnrt a big program of sabotage
In American munitions factories and
to finance plans for the destruction
of the Canadian raciflc railway, and
the third from the then ambassador
to the foreign office at Berlin last
September stating that the American
embargo conference needed the fur
ther support of the Geminn govern
ment for the purpose of conducting a
campaign to win a majority of con
gress favorable to Germany in the ap
proaching congressional and presiden
tial elections.

In order to prevent the taking of

the government's control of foodstuffs

Include about all the essential articles
of diet. .By order of the president,
the manufacture, Importation, storage

commodities will be licehsed by tho

Damaged Warship Returns To Port
Gunner's Mate Ingram, Of Ala

By Explosion.
Washington. An American destroy
r on patrol duty in the war cone was
torpedoed by an enemy submarine and
had one man killed and five wounded
She managed to make port In spite of
severe damage.
U-Boat Probably Escaped.
VIce-Admlral Sims cabled a report
of the incident to the Navy Depart
ment Me gave but few details, but it
Is assumed there was no fight and that
the U-boat made good her escape after
launching a torpedo without showing
herself.
Gunner's Mate Osmond Kelly Ingram
was the man killed. He was blown
overboard by the explosion and his
body was not recovered.
None of the wounded were seriously
hurt
In accordance with the policy of se
crecy concerning American naval op
eration, the department did not divulge
the name- of the destroyer or the exact
place of the encounter.
First Warship Hit
This Is the first time an American
warship has been hit by the enemy
since the war began. Destroyers con'
voylng troops and merchantmen have
engaged submarines and are believed
to have accounted for some of them,
and the ships patrolling the European
shipping lanes undoubtedly have had
many an encounter of which nothing
has been heard, but until yesterday
none had been touched by a hostile
shot
Naval gun crews on armed American
merchantmen have not been so fortu
nate. Many of them have had to
abandon their charges and take to the
boats, usually after an unwarned tor
pedo attack, and one officer and 13
men have lost their lives, while four
men now are in German prison camps.
Navy Has Lost 17 Men.
In all the navy has lost one officer
and sixteen men the only men of
America's lighting forces actually kill
ed In action.
Lieut Clarence C. Thomas, com
manding the gun crew of the tank
steamer Vacuum, and four of his men
were the first on the navy's casualty
list In addition to the men lost on
merchantmen and Gunner's Mate In
gram, two naval flyers have lost their
lives at the French front
Destroyer Taken Unawares.
Naval officers do not doubt that the
torpedoed destroyer was- taken un
awares by the submarine and had no
chance to bring ber guns Into play.
They think It probable that the U-boat,
cruising In search of merchant vic
tims, stumbled upon the patrolling de
stroyer and was fortunate enough to
get Into position to launch a torpedo
and dive to safety without showing
more than ber periscope.
It is believed, too, that the destroyer
must have been steaming slowly over
her beat, for at top speed these craft
present an almost unhlttable target to
the submarine.
FORMER ENSIGN HELD.
Wm. J. Dunbar, Detained As Possible
.Spy, Dropped From Naval Reserve.
Washington. Navy Department rec
ords show that William J. Dunbar, ar
rested In New York as a possible spy,
was enrolled as an ensign in the Naval
Reserve In the New York district until
about two weeks ago, when his name
was dropped because Department of
Justice officials round he had made
conflicting statements as to his place
of birth.
It is understood -Dunbar said in his
application for enrollment In the
Naval Reserve that he was born in St.
Paul, when he was, In fact, a native
of Hamburg, Germany.
Immediately after he had been drop
ped from the reserve Dunbar sought
to enllBt in the army and his arrest
followed.
When war was declared, command
ants of the naval districts were author
ized to enroll men up to the rank of
ensign in that service for coast patrol
or other work. Dunbar secured his
rating before a new rule was issued
requiring examinations and commis
sioning by the department-
AMERICA TO PARTICIPATE.
Conference Of Allied Nations To Be
Held In Paris.
Washington. While official an
nouncement is being withheld, It Is
practically certain that the United
States will be represented at the com
ing conference of all the nations at
war against Germany, which probably
will be held in Paris. Secretary
Lansing authorized tke statement that
it had definitely been decided that
there would be a conference and that
the United States was considering
participating In it with the possibility
that It would be decided to do so.
VANDALS IN A TOMB.
Toss Coffins About and Search Dead

Elkton, Md. The attention of the
authorities here was called to an act
of vandalism that has recently been
committed at the Sewell vault, on the
Holly Hale property, just on the out
skirts of this town. The vault Is built
in the Bide of a bank, and the vandala
gained an entrance by digging out one
of the large stones. The caskets were

U. S. WARSHIPS INFORMED
Reported Intention Of Germany To
Declare Coasts Of the United
States, Canada and Cuba a War

Washington. Greatest Importance
Is attached here to the brief wireless
press message picked up from Berlin
by the British Admiralty asserting that
Germany Is expected shortly to declare
the coasts of the United States, Can
ada and Cuba to be naval war zones.
Past experience convinces officials
here that wireless press messages of
this character previously picked up
have usually been followed by formal
announcement from the Berlin govern
ment of important hostile action. If
this is authentic, It means that Ger
many will try to send submarines to
operate off the Atlantic Coast
When the news reached Washing
ton It was suggested that possibly Ad
miral Mayo, commanding the Atlantic
Battleship Fleet, who has Just returned
from the London naval conference,
may have brought with him some con
fidential Inkling of Germany's inten
tions. Secretary Daniels, when com
municated with, asserted that this
press dispatch was his first Inkling of
such an intention on the part of the
German government. '
The wireless from Berlin ma, be a
naval bluff intended to throw a scare
Into public opinion on this side of the
Atlantic, or may be a war ruse thrown
out for the purpose of trying to inter
fere with the steady movement of
American troop transports to France.
So far as constant watchfulness Is
concerned, the threat will not greatly
alter the situation, for the warships
patrollng the coast have been Instruct
ed to act on the theory that German
raiders or submarines may show ud
most unexpectedly. ' There have been
repeated reports that submarines had
approached the coast. These .have
never been substantiated.

The Territory Includes About 35,000
Acres Farmers In the Territory
Will Be Given Ample Time To
Harvest Their Crops.
Washington. President Wilson, by
proclamation through Secretary .of
State Lansing, has taken for an
ordnance proving ground the territory
generally known as Gunpowder Neck
and Hall's Crossing in Harford county,
as a matter or fact, the proving
grounds as defined by metes and
bounds in the proclamation, extends
into Baltimore county.
The exact lines are now Delng run
by the engineers on the ground, for
Secretary Baker announced last week
that this site had been approved by
the President and the issuance of the
proclamation is only a formality by
which the President, through the Sec
retary of War, on next Saturday will
take possession of all the ground
whose owners are unwilling to sell to
the Government.
The land on Gunpowder Neck will
be the first to be purchased, as it Is
concentrated in the hands of a few
owners, who have been willing to sell
and who have already given formal
permission to the officers of the Wat
Department to enter on their lands and
to make the surveys for the railroad
spur which will run from the Pennsyl
vania tracks into the proving ground.
No name has as yet been officially
selected for the ground, but it will
probably be known as the Aberdeen
Proving Ground. It Is not a part ol
the present plan to use the proving
ground as a training school for artll
lery officers, but it may be done incl
dentally as the general plan Is develop
