LONDON, Nov 23.-Extremc activity
of the Germans along the Belgian coast
as well as reports indicating that war
ships are about TO move from Emdcn,
was causing the greatest uneasiness
here today. The greatest mystery sur
rounded the movements along the coast.
Military experts here express the be-
lief that this activity in Belgium may
be part of a plan for the establish

NEW YORK, Nov 23.-tll a. MI
General Won Hindenberg has now reach
Cd the most critical part of his critical
Journey to Warsaw. At Lowicz and
Sxierniewice, he has planted his army,
straddlewise, on the two main northern
and southern railway lines, which, at
these two points, begin TO converge on
Warsaw. The straddle is fifteen miles
long; the angle formed of two rail-
ways, runs forty miles before it comes
to its apex at Warsaw.
This angle must be held by the Ger
mans in order to command both OF
the railways. Hitherto Won linden
berg has been compelled to protect only
one railway line-the northern. Now,
however, he must make sure of the
southern as well, or risk serious danger
of being outfanked. This risk, even
with the railways in German possession,
is constant one. Won Hindenberg in
fact, is now Giving dangerously" in ut
most accord with Nietzsche's urgings.
Beside the railway angle there is r river
angle which the Germans are entering,
alive with perilous possibilities. This
river angle is formed by the Vistula.
After passing almost straight across Po-
land, from the German boundary, the
Vistula swings sharply to the south
lust before reaching Warsaw and forms
4 right angle with itself. Warsaw is
on the northern south leg of the angle,
about ten miles from the angle point,
On the east-west leg and the same dis
tance from the angle point, is Novo
Georgievsk, a irst-class fortress OF
great strength.
Into this NAV between the fortifica-
tions Of Warsaw and Novo Georgievsk,
Won Hindenberg must now venture. If
he is outflanked or is caught in the
rear. he will be driven between the
fortresses and against the Vistula
with a catastrophe inevitable. In Ia
vor. however, of the risks Won linden
berg. is the fact that none of the Slav
commanders has a capacity for direct
ing a coup of this nature. Neverthe-
less. the fact remains that at no time
during the war has there been so
splendid an opportunity for a devastat-
ing stroke as Won Hindenberg is now
offering the Russians.
On the other hand, no such daring
has been shown by anyone in the
east or west comparable to Won Hin.

SEES SUFFRAGE IN
four NEW STATES
Mrs. Raymond Brown Predicts
Success in Ohio, Nebraska,
Montana and Nevada.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Success for
woman suffrage in Ohio, Nebraska.
Montana and Nevada in the Novem-
Der elections was predicted today by
Mrs. Raymond Brown, president of
the Empire State Suffrage League.
A suffrage constitutional amend
ment is to be voted on In seven
States, but in the Dakotas and Mis-
souri, Mrs. Brown frankly admitted
that the outlook was not promising.
In the first two she said the pro-
visions of the State constitutions
made amendment almost an impos-
sibility, while the Missourians were
apathetic, The highest hopes of the
suffragists are based on Ohio.
"Ohio gave us quarter of mil
lion votes two years ago." said Mrs.
Brown, land we lost only by about
$1,000. This year the question was
submitted by initiative petition. The
law requires a petition of 5 per cent.
of voters Our petition enrolled 10
per cent. of the voters, and the
necessary number of names was ex-
ceeded by about 10000, at cost of
about 100000"
In New York State Mrs. Brown
claimed large increase for equal
suffrage.

DETECTIVE R|KER,
OF EAST ORANGE,
CALLED BY DEATH
Dies Suddenly at His Home
After Complaining of Heart
Trouble.

Detective Harry M. Riker. OF East
Orange, died suddenly this morning
of heart disease at his home. 107
Summit street. While suffering from
heart trouble for more than a year,
he was APPARENTLY In good health
when he retired last night.
He awoke about o'clock this
morning and complained to his wife
of pains about his heart. His wife
gave him some hot water and he
said he felt relieved. He Tell asleep
raised his head and passed away.
There is general sorrow in police
circles of the city over the untimely
death of Detective Riker, as he was
one of the best-liked members Of
the department. He enjoyed a wide
acquaintance with police officials
throughout the State and was popu-
lar with all of them. His ability as
a detective often won the admtra-
ton of his superiors in East Orange,
especially Chief of Police w. H
O'Neill, and his loss undoubtedly
will be severely felt by the depart
ment.
Joining the force as a chanceman
on June 30, 1904, Detective Riker ex-
hibited signs of being an efficient
lar on December 16. 1906. When doing
patrol duty he convinced his supe-
riors that he possessed knowledge of
work and frequently did
detective duty before being advanced
to that rank in August, 1910. He
rendered valuable service to the de-
partment during the solution of the
battling Ocey Snead murder mystery,
about three years ago.

Special to the Evening star.

BELvIDERE, Oct. 22.-Mrs. So
phiaz Skalla, of Washington, N. j..
was placed on trial here today be-
fore Judge Roseberry, charged with
having set fire to Skalla's dancing
pavilion and motion picture theatre
in Washington on January %, last
Because of her prominence In this
section, scores of automobiles were
drawn up before the courthouse to-
day, and many have come for miles,
prepared to make an autumn holi-
day of the two or more days which
it is expected will be consumed by
the trial.
The prosecution in opening stated
that evidence of numerous purchases
of kerosene by Mrs. Skalla would be
adduced as well as the fact that no
kerosene was burned in the pavilion
or in the Skalla home here. 1t will
also be shown. the prosecutor said.
that Mrs. Skalla was seen by two
men sprinkling kerosene on corn
stalks piled against the pavilion on
the afternoon Of the fire.
At one time the insurance eompa-
MES were willing to settle for $500,
but Mrs. Skalla insisted upon $4,000,
and an investigation revived early
rumors of incendiarism which had
died out.

CARRANzA CLEARS
VILLA OF BLAME
Denies Delegates at Aguas Cal
ientes Were Ordered Ar
rested.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22s-Advices
direct from General Carranza at
Mexico City to Constitutionalist
headquarters here today deny the re-
port that delegates at Aguas Calien-
ties were arrested by order of GEN
eral Villa. This confirms word pre-
viously received by the state depart
ment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.--American
troops seem sure to remain In Vera
Cruz until the friction between Gem
era Carranza and the Aguas Calientes
convention is adjusted, in the opinion
of officials here, who base their con-
illusions on today's adyices to the
State department.
Carranza has referred back to the
convention the administrative ques-
tions incident to withdrawing the
troops. He had submitted the same
question to the convention before j it
voted itself the supreme authority in
Mexico, and 1t had instructed him
to comply with the proposals of the
United States for protection of cler-
icals, Mexicans who had served Gem
eral Funston and others.
Carranza has since questioned the
sovereignty of the convention, and 1t
Is believed here he resents being in
structed by what he considers an adj
visory body.
