PERISCOPE SIGHTED
IN HAMPTON ROADS
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—
An American naval vessel reported
officially having sighted the peri
scope of a diver near Hampton
Roads, Secertary Daniels today di
rected a fleet of naval vessels to
make a careful search for the under
sea vessel which is supposed to be
lurking in Chesapeake Bay.
In the port of Baltimore and
other harbors off the Chesapeake
there are large numbers of vessels
now loading for “Somewhere in
Europe" and it is believed that the
diver is waiting an opportunity to
get in a torpedo on these ships. The
report has created some anxiety in
shipping circles. It is not believed
possible, however that the under sea
boat will be able to operate in those
waters owing to the fact that the
Bay is literally alive with diver
chasers of all descriptions and some
of them so speedy that nothing
could escape them once sighted.
LONDON'. July G.—The activities
of the United States flotilla in the
danger zone is perceptibly lessening
the activities of the U boats. The
increased hazard of the divers in
chasing their victims is accompa
nied by a widening area in which
they must operate to reach any de
gree of safety. For this reason the
number of sinkings shows a great
falling off. In addition it is be
lieved that as a last resort the U
boats will endeavor to operate
closer to the American coast than
heretofore.
RUSSEL SAYS NO
ANARCHY IN RUSSIA
PETROGltAD, July 0.—Charles i
Edward Russel, the noted American
socialist, who accompanied the Am
erican Commission to Russia, in an
interview with the Staff Correspond
ent of the United I’ress said that he
found things in Russia much better
than he had been led to believe. The
country had been much misrepre
sented. There was no anarchy in
Russia as had been cabled to the
United States papers. There was
some disorders in different sections
which was inevitable. But on the
whole, the Russian people were de
votedly loyal to the Republic in
which they took a great pride.
Russia was passing through a pe
riod of reconstruction and at the
same time had a great, war upon its
hands, a position which the older
governments in the world would
find far more embarrasing than Rus
sia.
The ability of the present Rus
sian government to maintain itself
and to handle the most difficult
situation was quite (dear to any
person.
PETKOGRAD, July 0.—The indi
cations are that there has super
vened a lull in the infantry attacks
in the Galician section of the east
ern front, for it is officially stated
today that the artillery is now clear
ing the opposing trenches of Ger
mans prior to renewing the assault,
upon the Brzezany positions.
The Germans have rushed rein
forcements to strengthen the com
bined Austro-German forces in this
position.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July G.—
This was the day that whiskey got
its finish in Congress. Late this
afternoon before adjourning, the
Senate adopted the amendment to
the food bill, prohibiting the manu
facture, importation, or sale of
distilled liquor after the stocks in
the saloons had been exhausted. The

“When it Strikes Home” is the 5
act story of a rich young man, who
while under the influence of
“Lubbles”, marries an actress. In
the morning repctant his father
procures a divorce, thinking the
“vampire” wanted coin. How the
wronged woman becomes even forms
an interesting drama. Sunday night
“The Overcoat” or “Camilla of the
Barbary Coast” a strong five part

shown. Khea Mitchell as the “tough

atmosphere. As usual first show

sale of any supplies to saloons Is
prohibited. The stocks in bond
will be confiscated and redistilled
for alcohol for industrial purposes,
lieers and wines are not prohibited
as to manufacture or sale.
As the House has adopted this
amendment also, the adoption by
the Senate means that the days of
distilled liquors are numbered.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—
The great aeroplane bill of the ad
ministration was introduced in the
House today.
It calls for a “preliminary offer
of three thousand aeroplanes’’.

NEW YORK, July 6.—Today
Carl Heien, the noted munition ex
pert and explosive chemist as welt
as the confidential agent of von
Papen, and F. A. Burgomeister
known as the paymaster of the Ger
man spy system in America, were
arrested by Federal agents and will
be interned during the war. Many
more arrests have been made.
It is stated that these arrests be
gin the unrelenting hunt of the ad
ministration for German spies
throughout the country. All sus
pe is will be interned if they are of
German or Austrian nationality. It
they are known to be guilty of
espionage or are of other than
enemy nationality they will follow
the usual procedure.
WASHINGTON, i). C., July ti.—
The activity of the federal agents
in the matter of German spies is
upon the express orders of the de
partmental heads. The known fact
that Germany is being kept fully
posted upon all the military and
naval activities of Urn American
government is causing much cot
cern and the administration has*
ordered a round-up which will he
relentlessly followed.
The activities in whatever center
they are manifested will be traced
to their source and it is confidently
believed that before a very lot:,.;
period elapses the entire system will
have been smashed.
I The arrests which have. beer, made
j today, involving such well known
men, is taker to indicate that the
highest and '.r.vest will be cau;

MOONEY TRIAL NOW

SAN FRANCISCO, July G.—The
defense is now having its innings
in the trial of Rena Mooney and bit

The failure to call Oxman alone

THIiEAT TO SECEDE.
LONDON, July 6.—The Monarchy
has a hard lime finding roots again
in China. Witii the northern pro
vinces more than indifferent where
not actually hostile to a king or
emperor. the Southern Provinces
today went them one better and
established a provisional govern
ment and now threaten to secede in
the event of any attempt being
made to further foist the monarchy
upon them. They will have nothing
to do with it.
It is now believed here that the
monarchical plan is bound to col
lapse. It would be little better
than a military despotism.
