No Increase of Force.

1t was made clear by both Rear Ad-
miral Strauss and by Capt. Jones that
the new work provided for the naval gun
foundry is Well within the capacity of
the present working forces and will cal

of employees or in the existing scale of
working hours at the local yard.
Ii was pointed out further by Ordnance
Chief Strauss that all the vessels of the
navy now in commission are fully pro-
vided with ordnance and ordnance stores
sufficient for any ordinary demand, and
that the small projectiies just ordered
are not intended for immediate issue,

sirable it is expected that the local gun
factory will be called on to make them.

FIVE RULERS ON
FIGHTING LINES
Heads of Britain, Belgium,
France, Germany and
Russia at Front.

London, Dec. 1.-Two Kings and a
President are at the western war front
to-day, while the eastern front is
honored by the presence of two en-
perors. They are George V of Eng
land, Albert, King OF the Belgians;
President Poincare OF France, the Ger
man Emperor and Nicholas ii, Car of
Russia.
King George is making his first visit
to the troops in France, where he has
passed through the military field hos
pitals and has called at headquarters.
President Poincare also paid visit
to the front to-day, coming from Bor-
deaux, via Paris.
Albert, King of the Belgians, has
been a soldier in the field since the
war began.
The official announcement was made
in Berlin to-day that the Emperor on
Monday visited the troops in their
positions at Gumbinnen and Darkeh-
men, Prussis. 1t is also reported that
Emperor William reached lnsterburg,
East Prussia, yesterday, continuing on
the way by motor car.
Insterburg is sixteen miles north
west of Gumbinnen, the capture OF
which by the Russians was reported
unofficially recently, although not sub
sequently confirmed.
A dispatch from Petrograd says that
Emperor Nicholas left his capital this
morning for the theatre of war.

ZEPpELINS DROP
AERIAL TORPEDOES
Practising in Bavaria with New
Kind of Death-Deal-
ing Missile.
LRr Cahls to The Tribunal ]

Rotterdam, Dec. 1.-An Englishman
passing through Rotterdam on his way
to London describes a remarkable ex-
perience he had at a certain town in
Bavaria. In the open country, few
miles from the house where he was
staying, large, fiat. wooden structures,
apparently intended to represent either
warships or roofs of houses, were
erected, and over these for several
days he watched Zeppelins man9uv-
ring.
The Zeppelins were engaged in drop
ping upon the targets thus provided
not ordinary dummy bombs, but i'm
mense weighted objects which are de-
scribed as boat-shaped and appeared
to be some form of aerial torpedo.
These torpedoes were discharged at so
great a height that the Zeppelins would
be immune from attack except by aero
planes. Owing to their peculiar con-
struction il is possible to aim this
type of missile with far greater accu-
racy than is the case with the ordinary
spherical bomb.
This man studied the operations from
the roof of house through a pair of
field glasses, until one day couple
of bullets came whizzing past him and
fattened themselves against the Chin
ney. Luckily the shots were fred from
a considerable distance, so he had time
TO retreat and make his way TO a dis
tant part Of the town before the mill
tary came up.

Iv in Berlin indicate that the Germans

plan to encompass the Russian right

The carrying out of this plan, which
began with Russian defeat at

were thrown on their defensive. Now
after repulsing q number of attacks
the Germans appear to be moving for

Berlin, Dec. 1.-The Reichstag meets
tomorrow to vote war credit OF

DIR. Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg, the I'm
perisl Chancellor, conferred to-day

ties, explaining the military and
financial situation. He hrst received

Il is expected that the war credit
will be adopted unanimously and prsc-
tioally without debate. The govern
ment does not intend 10 raise the new
loan forthwith, and probably will not
do so until spring.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-H Hollweg,
speaking 10 the Reichstag committee,
said the military situation on both
fronts was wholly favorable, but that

GERMANS RUSHING
SUBMARINE WORK
[By Cable to The Tribuns.I

Copenhagen, Dec. lit is reported
from Kiel that there is the greatest ac-
tivity there day and night in the dock
yard and at al other dockyards. Sew
eral thousand mechanics and artisans
have been withdrawn from the army
with view to speeding up the con-
struction of submarines, water planes
and special craft, TO be used as jump
ing-off places for airships. Floating
batteries are also being built for use
in the Channel after the Germans have
got to Calais.
As consequence, less work is being
done on the five dreadnoughts which
are being built In well informed quar-
ters it is stated that the Admiralty
regards the British preponderance in
dreadnoughts as hopeless, unless a
great force of German submarines and
aircraft attack the British battle feet.
The boast is made that the Germans
possess submarines and aircraft which
can easily blow up the British dread
noughts.

GERMANY INSISTS
ON BAN ON WOOD
Sweden Fails to Obtain
Its Exclusion from
COntraband List.
[By Cable to The Trlbune.l

Stockholm, Dec. 1.--Strong efforts
made by the Swedish government to
bring about the exclusion of wood from
the German list of contraband Of war
have failed
Count Trolle visited Berlin on be-
half of the government, but has re-
turned without success. The German
Legation here issued last night the fol-
lowing announcement:
"The action taken by Germany de-
claring all wood conditional contraband
was necessary, because wood in manu-
factured shape cannot be dispensed
with in England for building barracks
for the new army. nor in France for
trenches and as foundation for artil-
lery. Consequently, ven wood is
shipped to the respective countries it
is serving the enemy's cause.
"Inclusion of such wood in the list
Of conditional contraband is in agree
ment with the generally acknowledged
principles of international law as ex-
pressed in the Declaration of London,
article 25, and paragraph "a of the
German prize rules. Wood, just as is
| the case with iron ore, is not included
| in the free list of the Declaration OF
London, article 2S. This contraband
stipulation refers TO wooden goods, but
not to all manufactured wood.
"In order to interfere as li.tle as
possible with Swedish trade with neu-
trail countries, the German naval forces
have rereiyed instructions to allow every
ship bound to neutral port to pro-
ceed If a pass has been issued by the
government for the country to which
the vessel belongs and vised by the
German Ambassador, guaranteeing that
the vessel is going to neutral por,
and will definitely discharge her cargo
there"
1t is needless to say that this out
come will cause serious consequences
to Swedish trade, and the newspapers
recommend that renewed representa-
tions be made to Berlin.

COLD COSTS FEET OF
1000 BRITISH SOLDIERS

London, Dec. 1.-Officers invalided
home from the front say there are
about fifteen hundred British Of
ficers and men suffering from
frozen feet in the base hospitals in
and about Boulogne. Fully one
thousand must have one or both
feet severed, owing TO the deaden-
ing of the nerves, which makes
futile all attempts at treatment.
Chilblains, frostbite and feet al
together frozen have been depicting
the ranks worse than bullets and
shrapnel ever did, and once a mans
foot is frozen he is through as far
as fighting is concerned for the rest
of the war.

front, three weeks ago, until the
hour of my arrival in hospital

tain Ballantyne, of the Territorial

DOC" BIEGEL HELD
AS ALIEN ENEMY
Well Known Broadway Green
Cloth Knight Indignant at
Arrest in London.
lBy Gable 10 The Tribune ]

London, Dec 1.-Henry Biegel, who
is widely known among the knights of
the green cloth on Broadway and else
where as "Docp Biegel, was unceremo-
niously removed from the luncheon
table at the Savoy Hotel to-day and
hailed before police magistrate at Bow
ST., charged with having failed to reg
ister as an alien enemy.
Wiping from his mustache the rem
nants Of fish course, doc" indig-
nantly insisted that he was an Ameri-
backed up his claim by producing an
American passport and naturalization
papers, and by exclaiming loudly, "To
hell with the Kaiser"
The magistrate held Biegel for fur
ther examination tomorrow, when, IL
is understood, the American Embassy
will vouch for his neutral nationality.
Rumor has 1t that Scotland Yard has
been interested in "Doc" Biegel's career
recently because of big card games
aboard transatlantic liners in which =
frequently has been a large winner.
The amount of money he displayed in
West End cafes was so great that Brit
ish detectives figured he might be
drawing some of it from Germany's
espionage fund.
DOC admitted 70 the magistrate
that he was born in the Fatherland, but
said he went to the United States at the
age of two years and remained there
until he was fourteen. He spent the
following four years in Germany, but
deserted from the Kaiser's army at the
age of eighteen and became a natural
lied American.
Siegfried Schneider, German,
startled the court officials by calmly
admitting that he had served for some
time in the British army in France,
and that everybody in the Red Cross
| Corps, TO which he was attached, was
aware of his nationality.
The prisoner was dressed in the
regulation khaki uniform. The charge
against him is that he failed to regis
ter as an alien and travelled more
than five miles without permit. He
was arrested at the general military
hospital in Boulogne, where he was
serving as a member Of the staff under
the name of Frederick Taylor.
The court remanded Schneider with.
out bail.
