GERMAN TROOPS ARE
GROWING MUTINOUS
PETROGRAD, Oct. 17.—All Ger-|
man aggressive operation:; on the
Dvinsk front have practically sub
sided and it is certain that no ex
tensive movements will be conduct
ed for the rest of the year by the
Germans against the Russians.
Many hundred Germans have de
serted their own lines and volun
tarily surrendered. Some of these
proved to have been mutineers who
wore punished for their insubordi
nation. They are authority for the
statement that discontent is great
ly increasing among the German
armies on the Dvinsk front.
Troubles are said to be due now
to a new secret military organiza
tion which is causing the German
authorities tremendous concern.
They report that scores of recent
cases of insubordination and dis
obedience have been summarily
dealt with. Many of the soldiers
who refused to return to the
Dvinsk trenches after leave wore
executed.
The officers who have been no
torious for cruelty have disappeared
and this is said to have been the
work of the new organization.
There has been a very great re
organization of many regiments.
This however has not resulted ir.
much change in conditions for the
insubordination is continuing. The
deserters also state that in some
cases the officers have taken their
cue from the situation and are
much improved in their treatment
of those under them, bullying beirg
in some cases absolutely unknown
where before it was common.

LONDON, Oct. 17.—The Admi
ralty has direct information that
Germany soon intends to extend its
submarine warfare to American
■waters.
For ttie last six months Germany
has been engaged in building a licet
of super-submarines of tremendous
capacity and these wi'l lie placed j
in operation in the Atlantic and i
enter Uiieetly into action in Amer
ican waters,
That these submarine dread
naughts will lie able to ravage
shipping is without doubt correct.
They have already demons; rated
what these monster 1' boats ran do
in the daring exploits of the fam
ous U 53 about a year urn when
this submarine tank steamer after
steamer just outside American
waters end shortly after that diver
had been in rn American port.
The information held by tlm Ad
miralty is beyond any doubt correct
and the work of circumventing this
new policy will no doubt immedi
ately engage the attention of the
Allied and American uava! au
thorities.

A Ecv i! million dollar war lav

what made the matter the more

SLAV SHIPS
HARD UPHILL FIGHT
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 17.—With
three out of the six islands at the
entrance to the Cl til 1 of Riga now in
possession of the Germans, the Ger
man naval actions continue with
the Russian ships.
The Russian ships are continuing
to put up a valiant resistance
under the difficulty of contending
with the superior units of the Ger
mans.
The fighting is proceeding steadi
ly .lnd the German reports indicate
some surprise at the dogged resist
ance which tlie Slavs are making.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 17.
Germany
is finding her attempted drive
against the Russian capital a tost
lv experience. In reducing Oessel
island alone she lost, four destroy
ers, two cruisers and one gun boat.
These were either mined or sunk
by gunfire; in her attempt to force
a landing on Moon island a cruiser
was driven ashore in a sinking con
dition. In moving towards the po
sitions off Dagoe island one dread
naught was mined and may be a
total loss although not immediately
sunk by the explosion.
The great battle of the Russian
ships and the forts against over-1
whelming odds is lauded in 'lie'
papers and in the Workmen's and
Soldiers Council.
The capital feels sale that Ger
many will never even try to force
the entry of the Gull of Finland,
her primary operations have proved
too costly. This is a record loss in
so short a time in any naval move
ments.

BUENOS AIRES. Oct. IT.—The
government is making desperate
efforts to relieve the strike situa
tion hut even the com■numleoring of
tin railroads lias not been accom
panied by much success.
Tho officials announce that unless
the winter. This rather sanguine
view of tilings is supported by tin
statement of many men themselves
and it is likely that there will be
no less mining than in previous
years. With other 1 ities ami occu
pations it is different. There will
be less business firms in almost all
lines. There will be a smaller po
pulation. in fact before the boats
leave on the last trip, there are ac
tually more people have gone out
of Nome than have arrived. On
the ether hand it is not well to
overlook the existence of Dime
creek which is harboring a consid
erable number of Nomoites and
winch will also bo always more or
less a tributary to the supply pointg
at Nome.
(he strikers return to work wiiHout
any further delay that tin "ill
all of theta have to taro s> rioua
charges in (he courts.
The situation is very peculiar as
many other lines threaten to strike
if any such action is taken against
the railroad workers.
1'hc government may ex', a.l tint
olive bran, n to the men by j. ru.u
nent improvement in working con
ditions being assured.
Only this will restore industrial
peace.
