GERMAN OFFICER
CAUGHT In TRUNK
Trying to Leave England
with Information, 1t
Is Believed.

London. Dec. IA vigilant customs
officer at Gravesend to-day made SEN
sational capture of German army orii-
GER. whom he found hiding in large
trunk that was about to be shipped
from Gravesend TO Rotterdam.
This trunk was going forward as
ordinary merchandise on board the
steamer Batavier. The customs officer
became suspicious, and gave orders
that the padlocks on the trunk be
chiselled off. This was done, and when
the lid was removed his suspicious were
justified. A man, later identified as a
German officer, was lifted out of the
box. He was promptly removed to the
Gravesend police station. Bedding food
and water we're found in the trunk, and
il was evident that the man was pre-
pared for long stay.
II is believed that this officer made
his escape from one of the detention
camps in England, and it is evident
that he must have had accomplices IN
his effort to leave the country hidden
in the trunk. 1t Is supposed that he
was endeavoring TO convey information
to Germany.

Panama, Dec. 12.--It is persistently
reported here to-day that a squadron of
six British warships met four British

and coaled from them. 1t is believed
locally that these warships came from

For several days there has been much

Also ship captains coming into Balboa
have reported the proximity of British
cruisers.
Six British colliers have called at
Panama during the last few days. This
concentration of colliers undoubtedly
has been TO supply the British squad

MAYOR CALLS FOR
CITY CRIME RECORD
Police Work Feverishly on
Order Which Extends
Over Two Years.

Although almost three weeks have
elapsed since the murder of Barnet
Baf, Police Commissioner Arthur
Woods yesterday reiterated his oft
times repeated statement to the effect
that progress was being made in the
case, Notwithstanding the fact that no
arrests have been made.
Inspector Faurot, of the Detective
Bureau, contented himself with the
frank statement that there was moth
ing doing"
Acting, it was said, under the May
or's orders, thirty men attached 70
Police Headquarters last night worked
feverishly on the compilation of list
of all crimes of violence committed
in the city during the last two years.
Mr.. Mitchel's orders, according TO
Headquarters men, were urgent and
specified that the list should be COM
pleted by midnight, if possible, and
brought to him Immediately at his
home on Riverside Drive.
At Headquarters it was stated that
such a request on the part OF Mayor
was unprecedented in the city's his
tory. but Commissioner Woods and
those working with him refused to give
the reason for the Mayors order.
New activities in connection with the
BaF case were suspected. 1t was later
believed that matters Of even greater
import were involved.
The list includes all crimes, solved
and unsolved, under the rules OF Com
missioners Waldo, Mckay and Woods:
This led TO the belief that. Mr..
Mitchell, aroused by criticism of the
present police administration, intends
70 cana IN the defence of Woods by
comparative statement designed to
show that the percentage of unsolved
crimes under the Woods rule is less
than that under his predecessors.
The order for the crime list was is,
sued from City Hall at o'clock, and
Commissioner Woods summoned Lieu
tenant Funston, of Inspector Faurots
staff: Lieutenant Carroll of the record
Office, and Lieutenant Thompson, Of the
Bureau of Information, who took
charge of the work.

GERMANS OBJECT
TO U. S. MEDIATION
Call Neutrality Pro-British
and Score Bankers with
German Names"

Amsterdam (via London, Dec. H.
In a long article dealing with the pos
sibility Of the United States playing
an important part in the conclusion Of
peace among the European powers, the
"Koelnische Zeitung" says that the
peace movement in America is not in
spired by Germany" and that "Ameri-
can bankers with German names in
urging the dcsirabilty Of peace render
a doubtful service to Germany"
Such language, the newspaper says,
is likely TO be misconstrued as an indi-
cation that Germany is exhausted by
the war and, IL adds, "such notions only
tend 10 injure German credit with neu-
trail states"
Despite all friendiness with America,
the "Koelnische Zeitung" continues,
Germans must not allow themselves 10
be deceived, and they must look IN the
face the fact that America cannot be
an arbitrator in the fight between Ger
many and Great Britain.
Ii would be an ostrich policy, the
newspaper declares, not 10 recognize
that public opinion in America, taken
as a whole, is entirely friendly to Great
Britain. 1t may be argued, it says,
that the American government has OBJ
served the strictest neutrality, but
one can be neutral in an indifferent
way, and, on the whole, American neu-
trality has been favorable to Great
Britain.
I'm view of all this, we cannot have
in America the confidence which we
ought to be able 20 repose in power
which would act as an impartial arb.
traitor in regard TO an arrangement OF
peace.
1--WE cherish no feeling of irritation
against America because she is friend
lv to Great Britain. Such feeling is
only natural, as Great Britain is Amer
ica's motherland; but it is just for this
reason that we fear prejudice, and we
must in friendly but firm manner
reject America as an arbitrator.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Colonel George
w. Goethals, Governor of the Panama
Canal Zone, tonight telegraphed the
Navy Department that it would be
necessary to send at once to the canal
terminals destroyers, whose office 1t
should be to enforce neutrality in canal
waters. The dispatch asked for the de-
stroyers, in view of the neglect of
British collier to observe the regula-
tions Of neutrality laid down by the
President and promulgated by the Navy
Department.
The collier was the Lena, which vio-
lated the neutrality of canal waters
and canal laws by using its wireless.
The United States Naval Station at
Panama was not at the moment ready
TO interrupt the Lena's message, and
quick orders TO the Panama Railroad
steamer Advance to do so developed
that its wireless was not prepared for
duty.
Wireless messages in code have been
