ALLEGED BLACKMAILER CONFIDENT BEING FREED
EAST AND WEST
BOTH SIDES EATTLE
LONDON, Nov. 13.—Eas>; and
west the relentless war continues
with no sign that either side will go
into winter quarters for a rest this
season. In the east the daring and
ferocity of the Russians knows no
bounds and the Rumanians are
fighting with renewed confidence
under General Sahkaroff, who has
apparently turned the tide of victory
in the Dobrudscha province. On the
west the fighting before Les Boeufs
and Gudecourt is sustained in viol
ence with hostile artillery trying
to hamper British movements and
to question the British tenancy ot
both those positions. The British
attacking in the Ancre sector have
captured two thousand prisoners
and the French control of all the
Sallisel positions is assured.
PARIS, Nov. 13.—The British have
advanced to the northeast of Ba
paume while the French are wedg
ing forward to the southeast. This
will force the evacuation of Ba
paume when the two armies close
upon the German positions like a i
vise.
The British advance to the north
east has only been accomplished
after much severe fighting. The
Germans are bombarding now the
British positions at Los Boeufs and
Gudecourt, without doubt with tho
object of making a heavy counter
upon both, which are very import
ant bases for all future operations. I
The situation is described as satis- !
factory.
BOORKE COCHRAN WILLING
DEFEND FRISCO MEN FREE
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Bourke
Cochran, the famous New York
attorney, today offered to defend
free of charge the five persons who
have been indicted of the bomb
outrage upon the preparedness pa
rade in San Francisco.
Bourke Cochran in a statement to
the Press said that he had taken
this action at the request of New
York society women after reading
the transcript of the Billings trial.
Cochran says that he has no doubt
at all that they are all the victims
of a vicious venomous and danger
ous conspiracy. The evidence upon
which Billings was convicted was
wholly without sufficiency.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—The ac
tion of Bourke Cochran is focussing
nationwide attention to the Frisco
trial of Warren K. Billings, and a
general review of the trial proceed
ings is finding its way into many
papers. Many papers, which are ob
viously in sympathy with Billings,
say that the condition of things be
trayed in California officialdom and
the methods employed are alarming
and ominous.
Hope is expressed that San Fran
cisco will not lend itself to any such
procedure in the trials of the rest
of the indicted. Many papers admit
that after examining the case they
find it reveals an astonishing condi
tion!
MAKE STRONG STATEMENT
AS TO FUTORE ACTIVITIES
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—After a
• 'three hour conference upon the part
of the railroad brotherhoods, Pre
Bident Lee of the trainmen gave out
the official statement that a failure
upon the part of the railroads to
fulfil the requirements in spirit and
letter of the Adamson law would

also mean that the strike vote was
effective.
Brotherhood officials say that
should one road agree to do so, and
another not, a strike would be called
on the road which so failed, but if
the road which the strike is being
carried on should transfer freight to
fair roads, a strike would follow on
them also.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Railroad
managers as well as railroad broth
erhood officials have been in closed
conference on the proposed enforce- j
ment of the Adamson bill. It is un
derstood that some concerted action !
has been agreed upon, but what it \
is has not been divulged. It is
certain that the railroad attorneys
have been busy preparing briefs
against the enforcement of the pro
visions of the bill. In some quart
ers it is said that an injunction
against the enforcement of the bill
has been promised by certain judges
in answer to a hypothetical ques
tion.

MACKENZEN IS STILL
FORCED TO RETIRE
PARIS, Nov. 13.—General Mack
enzen is still retreating and his
forces are very badly demoralized.
The campaign in Dobrudscha owing
to the trying nature of the climate
has been disastrous for the Teutons
and from the ravages of disease and
fighting he has lost over a third of
his men.
The military reverses are serious
f1> vifecting the morals of his Turk
ish and Bulgarian allies and the
ability of Salikaroff is failing to take
advantage of nothing by which he
can gain headway.
BERLIN, Nov. 13.—The Dobrud
scha campaign found a greater ally
in typhus and malaria for the En
tente powers than Rumania or Rus
sia. The unsanitary and very un
healthy Danubian provinces have
been the cause of fierce ravages
from disease. This has caused the
Mackenzen retirement when every
thing else was in his favor. He is
still fighting against desperate odds.
LONDON, Nov. 13.—The terrific
fighting of the Russians at Baran
iwitschi is taxing all the efforts of
the Germans to withstand. The Rus
sians have finally forced headway
against strong positions and now
hold all of Minsk province in that
section where they were obliged
earlier to retire. The Germans are
withdrawing.
ENTENTE WIN SUCCESS
ON ALMOST ALL FRONTS
LONDON, Nov. 13.—The Russians,
Rumanians, French and Servians
are continuing to hammer the Cen
tral Powers on the eastern and
southeastern fronts. The Teutons
are responding fiercely, but the En
tente forces are everywhere win
ning successes.
Saloniki reports a very violent
battle in the vicinity of Cerna.
PARIS, Nov. 13.—The most bril
liant victory in the Macedonian cam
paign has been won by the Serbs at
Cerna, forcing the Teutons to retire
two miles, and one thousand prison
ers were captured. French work
artillery co-operating finally gained
headway from the strongly en
trenched Bulgars after a desperate
opposition. 1
SOFIA, Nov. 13.—The Bulgars re
tired a few miles from the Cerna po
sitions to take up a stronger line al
ready arranged for them. In their
retirement they incurred severe
losses.
BERLIN, Nov. 13.—The Russian
and Rumanian forces are fighting
desperately to the north and the
British, French and Serbs to the
south of Bulgaria. The situation is
still somewhat uncertain in Macedo
nia where the Bulgars have recently
been reinforced with a considerable
strength of Teuton veterans to with
stand the savage attacks of the En
tente hordes.

GRAVES ARRIVES AND IS
NOT MUCH ALARMED CHARGE
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Dr. Carl
Graves arrived here today. He is
quite confident that he will obtain
his freedom on the blackmail
charge.
Graves submits the statement that
the women in the letters are merely
the official code so effectively used
by Bernstorff.
Graves claims that he will show
that the letters that he holds were
the same code that conveyed all the
information to Bernstorff as to the
activities of the U 63 and whereby
Bernstorff made thousand of dollars
in the insurance market and in the
men moved in. M’Allister said this
was being done.
M'Allister moved that H. H.
Moller be elected Mayor and all
supported the motion.
Moller was then sworn by Mrs.
Cbace and he thanked the council
for the honor. After the complicat
ed financial arrangement? in regard
to the pumping plant had been ex
plained to the new Mayor upon his
own enquiry, Attorney O’Neill also
explained that this was in the na
ture of a private contract.
After some routine business the
council then adjourned.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.—
Dr. Carl Graves, himself a German
now says that Bernstorff is tryinj
to railroad him because he holdi
the clue to the code whereby th<
German embassy speculated in sub
marine activities and accumulated
millions. The Bernstorff letteri
were merely a decoy and those li
the name of the Countess, merely t
blind to throw off the track the cen
sors or others.
i Graves claims that he will show
i that the Embassy had a letter of the
highest importance from Germany
whose political significance in the
United States will . make everyone
, sit up and take notice. Revelations
are promised.
i WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.—
The German Embassy believes that
the missing highly confidential die
i patch which was brought over on
> the U 53 is that now held in the
. Graves packet. Prince Hatzfeldt is
unwilling to testify one way or an
other.
GRAVES PINCHED

Dr. Carl Graves, a German, bas

agents on a charge of Blackmail.
It is said that Dr. Graves wanted
three thousand dollars from Coun

session, he claimed thousands of

firmities, frailties and failings.
Graves promptly denied the charge
of blackmail or that he had attempt

ed to blacken the character of tho
Countess in any way.
The papers he offered Bernstorff
he said, were political purely and he
was arrested upon a charge of black
mail so that the German ambassa
dor could get hold of these im
portant papers. He said that were
well worth three thousand dollars.
