LONDON. Nov. 23.--Extreme activ-
ity of the Germans along the Belgian
coast as well as reports indicating
that warships are about TO move from
Emden, was causing the greatest un-
easiness here today.
The greatest mystery surrounded
the movement along the coast. Mill.
tary experts here express the BELIEF
that this activity In Belgium may be q
part OF n plan for the establishment
OF bases for daring raid upon Lon.
don or the forerunner OF movement
TO engage the allied feet of the coast
and under this cover endeavor 10
transport troops by sea to the French
coast.
The entire population OF the Bel.
gian coast towns OF Zee Brugge ana
Knocke has been transferred 10
Bruges by the Germans. The people
were not permitted to move into Hol-
land. Bruges is now said to be gar
risoned largely by slightly wounded
soldiers, the others having Deen
moved toward the front.
Reports have been received that six
submarines are being put together on
the docks at Zee Brugge. The In
habitants of st. Nicholas, city OF
10000, between Antwerp and Client,
have been. ordered TO leave immedi-
ately. St Nicholas Is an important
railroad function. The people or the
town were ordered to move 10 Ant
werp, where they were told unoccu-
pied houses originally abandoned by
Belgians who fed the city would be
turned over to them.

Crime

Angelo Aiullo. "a years old. OF No.
43S Monroe-ave., died in st. Marys
hospital, at 5 o'clock, Monday morn
Ing. from bullet wound In his abdo-
men, the shot having been fired Sun
cay afternoon during fight which
followed a drinking bout In the Mon
roe-ave. house. according to the de-
tectives.
Shortly after o'clock, Monday
morning, Detectives Rogers, Kolb
and Grove removed all mystery from
the crime when they arrested four
men In the house at No. 716 st. An
toine-st. and one OF the prisoners,
Dominica Bono, "a years old, living
at that address. confessed to the
shooting. according to the police,
when they found shis clothing stsined
with blood. The missing -serofve..
which had caused much speculatiofl
by the police. was found In the house,
Bono telling the officers where he had
hidden IL, they say. The detectives
went home, after their herd days
work, somewhat astonished at their
success. The ordinary Italian homi-
eide works out much differently, as a
usuai iuic. DOuO mas set pTeceuent
by his alleged confession.
After the shooting, the detectives
who rushed to the Monroe-ave: house
found every symptom of the regular
Italian shooting. Everybody who
might possibly know anything about
the crime had had business elsewhere
just when the shot was fired.
Sam Aiullo. brother OF the wounded
man. was out caring for his horse.
His wife was In the kitchen. Three
men who were arrested as witnesses,
declared that two men had rushed In,
shot Aiullo. and departed They
didn't know the men. they said.
The wounded man was asked who
shot him. He said he didn't know.
Later, as Aiullo lay dying in the hos
pital. the detectives learned that some
men In the st. Antoine-st. house
might know something about the
crime. They went there and rounded
up Bono and three others. who were
all locked up. The other prisoners
gave their names as Salvador Orlan-
do. Giuseppe Beratta. and James
Beratta.

He was badly indented and otherwise
"pumctuated." but he still retained
that well-known rabbit Characteristic
OF running. He covered about i've FUR

then sat down again.
The farmers decided II would be
best to open fire. Five shots were
discharged In quick order.

extraordinary emergency all the trans
ports will be loaded and ready to sail
for home by tonight. The embarka-
ton was in full swing today. Forces
worked all day yesterday putting
army supplies aboard the ships.
Up to early today no representative
of any of the Mexican factions had
appeared In answer to Brig. Gen.
Funston's published invitation to take
formal charge OF the city upon its
evacuation by the American forces.
There will be no delay In the depar-
ture OF the American troops on this
account, however. Gen. Funston will
simply leave the city TO whatever fac
tion that may be on hand to control

Hundreds of figitives fearful of re-
prisals by any one OF the various
Mexican factions, hurried In at the
last moment today, pleading to be
given passage out OF the country.
Such accommodation as are avail.
able on transports have all been
taken. Many Mexicans will have to
be left behind. Those who struggled
in from Mexico City reported that the
capital had recovered somewhat from
Its first wild terror at the approach
OF Villas army, although thousands
were still fleeing.
