TO MOVE AGAINST
STRIKE FOMENTERS
District Attorney Marshall Con"
fers on Curbing German
Propaganda.

Washington, Sept. 14.-While details
as 10 the nature of the conferences be-
tween United States Attorney Snowden
Marshall, Of New York City, and De
partmont of Justice officials were re-
fused to-day, the visit, owing to the
important part Mr.. Marshall has played
in past prosecutions, is believed to be
important as forecasting moves against
the German propagandists.
Assistant Attorney General Warren
denied that the case of James +. D..
Archibald was discussed, or that there
was any intention at present to arrest
Mr.. Archibald. Acting Attorney Gen
eral Davis was also consulted by Mr..
Marshall, but not on the Archibald
case.
1t was reported later. however, that
the questions discussed were the
fomenting Of labor troubles at NUM-
tion plants and passport frauds: As, a
result further prosecutions in the
passport frauds are likely, as other
guilty persons are still unpublished
The department has not yet begun
prosecutions because of attempts TO
stir up labor troubles, but 1t is un-
derstood that enough evidence has
been obtained TO Justify the beginning
of actions whenever the department Is
ready.

MORE MIDDIES
SOUGHT BY NAVY
Ships 1000 Officers Short, Dan
ielS viii Ask Congress for
Extra $1,20O.000.

Washington, Sept. Ii Secretary
Daniels will recommend an increase in
the number of midshipmen at the Naval
Academy. No enlargement of the
equipment was contemplated, the Sec
rotary said to-day, but the plant will
be utilized to its capacity. About
twelve hundred students can be &C
commodated at Annapolis, but under
the present system of appointments
rarely more than $50 are enrolled.
Congress will be asked 20 appropriate
extra funds TO care for the additional
ESQ or 300 men. II will be necessary
TO appoint extra teachers, clerks, etc,
and 10 provide more food. clothing and
equipment The Navy Department esti-
mates the cost of an Academy educa-
ton at about $4,000 year for each
student, exclusive of overhead expense,
50 that the total increased outlay may
reach S1,2O0,000 annually.
Secretary Daniels was prompted 10
take this step by the alarming lack of
officers throughout the navy. Officers
say there is a shortage of at least
900. without taking into consideration
the ships now being constructed and
the reserve necessary to take care or
Temporary vacancies caused by illness
and leave. Under the Secretary's new
plan the Academy will graduate about
fifty more officers each year than be-
fore.
No further extension of the Acad-
cmy's work is planned at present. but
officers say it will be necessary within
q very few years 10 consider the foun-
dation Of a second academy, which
will AZ least double the number of Off
Gers turned out each year.

LONDON PAPER HITS
AT PRESS BUREAU
Calls 1t Means of Enforcing
Trivial PrejudiceS.

London, Sept 14.-"As constituted at
present" THE Globe" says to-day, the
Press Bureau too often is the agent
for enforcing trivial prejudices Of per
manent officials at the Admiralty, War
and Foreign Offices. We do not sug-
gcst that the power of the Press Blu
reau be diminished, but rather that 1t
adopt a definite policy.
THE present directors are we'll
meaning gentlemen, but they are mere
" underlings whose duty is to carry
out instructions of government de-
partments. We believe great improve
ments could be effected if broad,
minded statesmanlike man of the world
were made director. He would neeH

Archibald to Plead
Ignorance, Says Aid

Should the government find that it is
possible to prosecute James +. J. Archl-
bald for his part in the Dumba affair
his defence will be that he did not
know It was loaded" This was indi-
Gated in a statement given out last
night BY Charles Mercer, manager Of
Mr.. Archibald's New York office.
"As general manager of James F. J
Archibald's Offices here for the last hve
wears" writes Mr.. Mercer, 81 have nat
urally been in close and constant touch
with all Of his activities during that
time. II has Just occurred to me that
Mr.. Archibalds speaking knowledge OF
the German language Is very limited
and that he is unable 70 read or write
German at all is demonstrated by the
fact that the small amount OF CORE
spondence he has with personal trlends
in Germany is sent to public trans
lator here in the city. and our checH
book records this fact.
INV reason for introducing this an
cle IS 10 point out how reasonable II
is to suppose that il Mr.. Archibald mad
had the slightest inkling as 10 the con,
tents OF the 'unSedIeu lttNtl nc " NH'N
most certainly have read and volun-
tarily turned it over to the proper au-
thorities. or at least would have de-
stroyed it. Furthermore. it does not
seem reasonable to me that Archibald
or ANYBODY else would have consented
to risk bearing such message except
verbally.
~ understand from newspaper re-
norts that the letter was in DR.. DUN
has handwriting, so that had Mr..
Archibald wanted TO read the letter II
would have been impossible for HIM TO
decipher il. Mr.. Archibald was un-
doubtedly under the impression That
the letter was to the Austrian otficials'
recommending him as an American
war correspondent and requesting the
Austrian officials 20 aid him in gather,
INC material for the newspapers ana
lecture platform in this country. IL Is
ridiculous to suppose that Mr.. Archi,
laid would have knowingly attempted
inviting so unpatriotic, crude and haZ-
ar5oms as the carving of DR.. Dumba' 5

Greece, Rumania and Serbia
Plan Union to Meet
Teuton Attack.

Athens, Sept 1.-The situation on
the Rumanian frontier is not con-
sidered Immediately menacing by per-
sons in official circles here, especially
because Rumsnia is not yet fully pre-
pared for eventualities.
The tensity of the situation has
prompted steps, however, for a closer
understanding among Greece, Ru-
mania and Serbia with view to action
in the event Of an Austro- German at
tack.
Bulgaria has not been included in
these negotiations, for il now is ad-
mitted that the Turco- Bulgarian agree
ment finally has been signed and that
Bulgaria will not accept Serbian con-
cessions.
