NEAR GUERILLA WIRELESS
Secret Service Men on Hot
Trail-May Be British Code.
rRy T.legaph 10 The Tribune.

lBy Telegraph 10 The Iflbuhe.I
Hartford. Conn, Nov. 30.-Secret
Service detectives. headed by Chief
William Flynn. who have been investi-
eating the mysterious wireless code
messages being sent out daily from a
station somewhere in this section,
were working to-day IN the neig hbor-
hood of New Haven, and are slowly
drawing their net around the senders
of the messages. All the wireless oper-
ators in the state are cooperating
with the Secret Service men.
That the messages come from sta
tion on Long Island and are IN the
British war code is the theory of
Hiram Percy Maxim, who has tower
in this city. He admits, however. that
the Long Island station would be bad
one to send from, as il would be close
to several government stations.
"There is no doubt that the sender
is an expert. He has been sending day
and night. and | am satisfied that the
code he is using is without doubt the
British naval code" said Mr.. Maxim.

GEN. JOFFRE SEES
NEWSPAPER MEN
Tells Them He Hopes
They Will Correct Ger
man MiSStatementS.

Paris. Nov. 3O.-A representative Of
the Havas Agency and party of Paris
newspaper men was received by Cen
eral Joffre at his headquarters. This
is the first time since the outbreak OF
the war that the commander in chief
has consented to see the press. In de-
scribing the headquarters and what ne
saw there the Havas correspondent
says:
"The oHi~ from which the general
directs operations is in public school
in "A small, quiet town. There is no
undue stir or hustle in the little streets
and "A stranger would never suspect
the presence in this modest place OF
the head of the allied armies.
General Joffre's private once IS on
the first floor of the school building.
The correspondents were at once shown
up. and as they entered the general
rose from his desk and stood IN the
middle of the room. He was IN undress
uniform, with top boots and tunlc' but
wore no decorations.
"He was just as all Frenchmen pct
ure him. His features reflect the cnar-
acter of the man in every line, showing
a combination or energy anu soouieSS'
gentleness and frmness. The forml-
dable cares and anXeties of the last
four months of the war have not aged
his countenance nor bent the athletic
frame. His whole personality breathes
physical and moral vlgor IN the hlgh-
est degree.
~ am happy to welcome you, gen,
tlemen, he said. Your tour Will,
hone. enable you TO correct certain
errors which the Germans are busily
disseminating in the public mind; You
will carry back with you, do not
doubt, a good impression from your
visit to the armies.
I'VE began to congratulate him re-
spectfully on the military medal con-
ferred on him by President Poincare.
He interrupted hastily.
"'That is of no Importance at all
What matters above everything else Is
TO save the country
"The general pronounced these last
words with such an accent that each or
us in his own mind added, and he VIII
save it,"

played by the different powers in this
European crisis show up with striking
cleaness. It is scarcely necessary
again to emphasize the responsibilities
of Austria, primal cause Of the con-
fiict. The responsibilities Of Germany
are even more crushing. in spite Of the
fact that in the beginning she stood
for the second plan. The reason for
/ this is that Germany systematically
avoided every opportunity to discuss
measures Of conciliation. She forced
Austria to an intransigeant attitude,
and she MADE the war inevitable by an
ultimatum (to Russia issued ut q mo-
r1ent when the basis OF q direct agree
nent between Austria and Russia had
been founc and accepted b. these two
powers.
"From tho beginning Germany de-
cisred that sh" was in Ignorance Of the
contents Of the Austrian note to Ser
ria), but at the same time she voiced
her resolve 20 approve it and sustain
all is professions.
when the Russian government
showed that public opinion and the
historic traditions of Russia did not
Permit il 10 turn a deaf ear to :he fate
OF Sefvia, Germany cndcavored to

ciatc herself with the excrting OF in
luence at s.. Petersburg, but at the
same time She refused 10 undcIt take
like steps at Vienna.
Insistencc on War.
"When Sir Edward Grey proposed
four power mediation the German gov
ernment refused 10 consider his pro-
posal; the first time under the preteXt
that she thought preferable the open
ing Of direct negotiations between
Vienna and st. Petersburg, and the
second time she refused under the
pretext that such conference was
not acceptable to Vienna and that the
British proposal was not in very prac-
ticable form.
"When finally Germany perceived.
in spite Of all her dilatory proceed
ings. that the conflict was progressing
toward settlement. to be effected by
the conciliatory efforts Of Russia and
England, which finally had been ac-
cepted by Austria Hungary, she pre-
cipitated the rupture by hurling at
Russia an ultimatum couched in unac-
ceptable terms.
France. with an indefatigable good
will, associated herself with the great
est sincerity with every effort made TO
compose the conflict. She counselled
Servia in the line Of wisdom; she en-
deavored necessarily at st. Petersburg
TO strengthen her ally, Russia, in her
attitude Of moderation. and she took
part in all the peaceful endeavors made
at Berlin and at Vienna, France again
can say truthfully that she did not take
up arms except after she perceived
military measures and military provo
cations which placed her national eX-
istence in peril.
France, moved by a deep love of
peace. exhausted every means of con-
ciliaton at her command. The sue
cessive violations of the neutrality of
Luxembourg and of Belgium and the
invasion of her own territory were
necessary before she decided to draw
the sword to defend her very life"

GIANTS TAKE
 TWO GAMES 
 FROM DODGERS

Twenty thousand roaring fans and shrteking fannfes thronged c. Her. culeS Ebbets pa1atia1 basllyard on the
 F1atbush frontier yesterday afternoon and saw the Giants ride roughshod
 over the Superbas in a double bill of fare, the speed -burst putting the entry from the lawn McGraw stable back in it's old place as leader in the Ma
 dona1 League Derby.
 While the Giants were whaling the Brooklyns, Red Dooin's Phi1lies were doing up the ferocious Boston Braves and thus helping to make ready the
 Giants quarters on the roof of Gov
 ernor Tener's circuit Through the double-barrelled defeat yesterday the
 Superbas were pushed back to a tie for last place.
 RaIlying behind Mathewson in the
 first game the Giants punched bingles on Pat Ragan and conquered the Su-
 perbas, 6 to 3. Big Jeff Tesreau op4
 posed Raleigh Aitchison in the second
 sl<irmish, and aided. and abetted by the, big bat of little Georgie Burns was returned a, 7-to-2 winner.
 Burns was resp onsib1e for four of
 the seven runs scored iby the Clan McGra,w in the sunset session and helped out in manufacturing another. In the opening frame of the second
 game Georgie- came up with Doyle on base and sTashed a. single into left, putting Doyle on second, from whence l he scored on Red John Murray-s rap to port. In the final frame of the sec-
 ond sl<irmish Burns stroI1ed up to the
 platter with the bases ree1ing in the last stages of intoxicatfon, the three 1 corners being. held down by Mclean. Snodgrass and Doyle.
 This is the little. guy, that makes triples With the bases ful1,"- remarked l one fan sitting back of the press stand to another.s Fletcher he makes a three-bagger,' he continued. He lost, for Georgie didn't make a
 three -bagger. ] What he did do, however, was to l catch one of Bill Steele's shoot amid i ships-F'ischer had batted for Aitchi- l son in the eighth and Steele went in l the box for Brooklyn in the ninth and sent the ball bounding past Buck Wheat in left centre for a merry-go= round slam, driving in the two I.arrys and Fred ahead of him.
 Several times this year Burns had shed triples with the corners covered.
 but yesterday was the first time this season that sGeorgie had emitted a
 man sized four-bagger with the sacks stewed to the g1ls. Georgie nnakes
 the sixth big 1eaguer to clean up the paths with a homer this season. The five other sluggers who have emitted four base blows with the bags loaded to the gunwa1es are Ed Konetchy of the Pirates Heinie zimmerman of the Cubs. Walter Maranville of the
 Braves Walter Johnson of the Sena-
 tors and Ray Demmitt of the White Sox
 Big Six's delivery was nicked for
 fifteen solid swats. including doubles
 by Wheat, Cutshaw and Getz. The Old
 Master howeV CT, was there in all his glory, rolling along easily till men were on the paths, when he stiffened
 and toyed with the Brooklyn batsmen.
 Neither did Ragan pitch poor game. Dame Fortune, however, would not smile on Patricio, all of the breaks
 going against him.

BRAVES ROUTED
 BY DOOIN'S MEN

The Boston Braves could not stand prosperity, and after spending twenty four hours at the top of their class, they tumbIed back into second place. They dropped before the Phillies yes terday by a score of to 4, while the Champion Giants were taking a dou- b1e-header from Brooklyn.
 The Braves outhit the Phillies thir- teen safeties to eleven, but the Quak- CTS got the jump on Boston by pound ing George Tyler, the crack southpaw of the visitors, from the mound in less than two innings.
 Tyler appeared wablbly in the first inning. when the Phi1lies made two runs, but he came back for more pun ishrnent in the second inning. and got it. Before Davis could retire the side the Phidlies had four more runs in and had the game on ice.
 Alexander the Great pitched for the Phillies and though the Braves puTn- rnelled him pretty hard, he escaped punishment until the ninth, when for a, few moments it looked as if the visitors would overcome the big Phila- deiphia lead An extra base hit by Maranville might have returned the tide in Boston, favor.
 Five hits, an error by Irelan. and a pass by Alexander, netted the Bos- ton men four runs, and left the bases full with two out, when Maranville
