thirty-seven. of Chicago. was arrested
here on the charge of being an accom-
plice OF a Bavarian officer who is ac-
cused of espionage.
A few days ago the police arrested a
Bavarian officer named Martin Sche-
hammer on suspicion of espionage. He
had made several visits TO the war
zone.
1t was learned that Schehammer had
lived in several Italian towns. Milan
and Rome included, and mad many ad-
dresses.
His close acquaintance with Miss
Wade. a singer. was discovered, and the
police found the woman living in an
apartment here under the name Of Mar
gherita Martello.
Search revealed a large package of
correspondence in cipher and military
maps of important strategic value.
These were contained in a large valise,
In which also were field glasses and q
revolver. :.
It would also appear that Isabelle
Wade had had dealings with the police
of Berlin.
The woman at first maintained that
she had found the valise in the street.
but after a short time In prison she ad-
mitted her real identity and declared
that Schehammer had placed the valise
in her hanads, saying he feared arrest,
and that it was necessary to hide the
documents.

Delivering newspapers by aeroplane Is
one Of the latest stunts of the German
flying corps. This city is ono of the
aeroplane headquarters. Here is situ-
ated also the newspaper plant which
prints the German Army Zeitung. and
the French newspapers which are dis,
tributed over the opposing lines
Two kinds Of newspapers are carried
over the French lines and dropped by
the German aviators. One contains the
names, addresses and condition of all
French prisoners and wounded soldiers
taken by the Germans. This paper also
contains the names and companies OF
all French soldiers who have been killed
and buried by the Germans.
The second newspaper is La Gazette
des ,Ardennes. 1t is devoted almost ex.
clusively to the treatment of French
prisoners of war in Germany. Several
columns carry letters of French cap,
tives. and there are photographs OF
groups of French prisoners in German
camps. The idea Is to encourage French
soldiers to surrender to the Germans.
The German Army Zeitung is distri.
buted in the German trenches every few
days. 1t contains the official reports
and excerpts from the German, English
and French newspapers.

FIELDS OF DEAD IN
REGION OF MELVILLE
WhirIwind Attacks BY Both
Germans, and French Result
in Terrible Carnage.

PARIS, June 3.-whirlwind attacks by
both sides is converting the Labyrinth"
region southeast OF Neuville into field
of dead and wounded.
Within twenty-four hours each side
has launched at least six separate at
tacks. The Germans rushed forward,
hurting bombs and hand grenades, only
to fall back. their ranks broken. and in
disorder. The French attacked with
bayonets and made slight gains. The
war office reported this afternoon that
losses on the enemy's side have been
very heavy. and declared the French
have taken many prisoners.
Artillery engagements are proceeding
everywhere in the region north Of Arras.
During last night there was violent ip-
fantry fighting east of Notre Dame de
Lorette, but the engagement resulted in
no change in the positions Of either side.

sia to cede to her at least part of Rus
sian Bessarabia. King Victor EN-
manuel the Rome dispatches say, has
onered to mediate between Russia and
Roumania in an effort to reach an ami
cable understanding that will insure
Roumania's participation.
Diplomatic circles here received the
reports with considerable surprise.
bucharest dispatches have for several
days indicated that Roumania was sat-
isfied with the allies guarantees that II
she marched against Austria she would
be allowed to retain all territory she oc-
cupied. The Rome dispatches indicated
new development in the negotiations,
which may at least delay Roumania' g
entry.
Bessarbia is one of the richest of the
Russian southeastern provinces. and
separates Roumania from Russia. Its
population is 80 per cent Roumanian,
and for several years Roumanian diplo-
mats have cast longing eyes upon Bes-
sarabia.

POTOMAC FLOODED,

the big flood of 1859. at the time of the
Johnstown disaster. the Potomac river
is on q rampage all along its course
today and Is flooding great sections Of
land.

caused the river to overflow at an
alarming rate and at noon today the
water was twenty-five feet above nor

The western section of Hancock Is being

At Harpers Ferry the rise during the

WOULD URGE MEXICO !
TO SUPPORT TAGLE'
Factions Said To Be Ready to
Rally Around Former Mem.
ber Of Madero's Cabinet.

A solution of the Mexican situation
brought to the attention Of President
Wilson was that the Mexican factions
should be urged to recognize the success
sion Of vasquez Tagle. minister Of Jus
tice in Madero's cabinet, as President of
Mexico.
This, the President has been told, is
the only logical way to restore the con-
stitutional order In Mexico, and to pro-
ceed legally toward re-establishing the
government which has had no legal
status since Madero's assassination
The Mexican constitution provides for
the succession Of cabinet ministers on
the death of a President. When Madero
was assassinated, Pedro Lascurain was
minister Of foreign relations. Rafael
Hernandez was minister of the interior.
Ernesto Madero was minister Of finance.
and Vasquez Tagle was ninieco. -
Went Into Retirement.
All these ministers resigned except
Tagle. He went into retirement in
Mexico City. and has since, the Presi-
dent was told, kept out Of Mexican
politics. Under the constitution Tagle
rightfully succeeded to the Presidency
when Madero and Vice President Pine
suarez were killed and the three cabi-
net ministers who outranked him re-
signed.
The united states Government did not
recognize the Huerta administration,
and has not recognized the government
which Carranza. Gutierrez and Cara
attempted to put UP in Mexico.
Was Last Recognized.
The Madero government was the last
which the United States recognized In
Mexico. the President has been re-
minded. and in carrying out the warning
that the United States will lend Its sup
port ito some man or group of men"
able to restore peace. the claims OF
Vasuuez Tagle have been brought to
his attention.
That such solution OF the difficulty
would be accountable to the Villa fac
ton is believed here. though 1t is
thought certain. from the tone of Car
ranza's statement today, that he will
not recognize any compromise that
eliminates him from the commanding
position.
IL Tagle was not acceptable as per-
manent choice for the Presidency he
could name a minister of foreign af-
fairs who would be acceptable as Presi-
dent. and then resign in his favor.
Eduardo Iturbide's name also has
been mentioned. but neither Villa nor
Carranza would accept him, it is declar-
ed. owing to his affiliations with the
Diaz and Huerta regimes. Iturbide is
looked uDon as the British candidate,
with oil interest back of him.

One Unexpected Result.
The annoying details Of applying the
Cummins amendment to passengers
baggage constitute one more unexpected
| result of that legislation. The Congress
that passed 1t. three months ago, had
no notion that II was interfering with
the baggage regulations long in force.
The real intent Of the law was to
prevent the railroads using form OF
ladine bill that for many years has
of the carrier in case property was de-
stroyed. 1t was aimed primarily at the
livestock business
The roads in the West limit to $40
per head the compensation they will
give in case of killing. That was eason-
able enough thirty years ago; but a
steer is worth two or three times as
much now as then: and 1t was esteemed
desirable to prevent Limitation of in
demnity by such arbitrary contracts.
AS soon as the law passed the rail-
road called attention to the fact that
| their bills of lading had long con-
| tained clause that reduced the rates
10 per cent in consideration Of the lin
| tied liability. With the limitations re-
! moved. they insisted they were entitled
to add that 10 per cent back onto the
! rate. This W as a poser; the railroads
seemed to have all the argument on
their side. but have not put their rights
into execution because Of the row 1t
would make.
In the matter Of baggage, however,
much that they considered they could
not be expected to carry 1t without
Charging for It; and after the Interstate
Commission had decided that the law
did apply to baggage. they adopted the
rule that went into effect yesterday,
