GERMAN OCEAN RAIDER
GOES TO REPAIR BERTH
Commander of Kronprinz Wilhelm
Insists He Will Not In

NEWPORT NEWS. Va. April IL
The German auxiliary cruiser kron-
prinz Wilhelm now occupies the same
berth at the plant of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Drydock Com
pany as that occupied by the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich during the thirty days
stay here of that vessel. The big lead
colored sea raider heaved up anchor
this morning at 4 o'clock and with the
aid of tugs was warped into her berth.
She will not be placed in dry dock be-
fore Monday. when an examination of
her hull below the water line will be
made by board composed Of govern
ment experts. A detachment of artil-
lerymen from Fort Monroe will guard
the entrance to the pier and navy tugs
and launches will guard the outshore
end of the pier and the surrounding
waters.
Commander Thierfelder insists that
he will not intern and has been more
emphatic in his declarations to this eff
feet than ever since his first meeting
with Commander Thierichens of the
Eitel 1t is believed that the two COM
manders have concluded that because
of the great speed of the Wilhelm she
has a good chance of eluding hostile

LONDON, April 17.-"Premier RADIO
s1avor Of Bulgaria has acknowledged
the possibility of Bulgaria's impending
participation in the war in support of
the triple entente powers" says the
Daily Nails Sofia correspondent
This attitude was brought about by
Germany's refusal to deliver munitions
Of war which Bulgaria has paid for. or
to make the April loan advance, as
agreed upon"
The Times Sofia correspondent also
takes the view that Bulgaria cannot
long maintain her position of neutral
ity.
1T is realized" says this correspond
ent, that time is on the side of the
entente powers, and the attack on the
Dardanelles has caused all parties to
recognize the fact that change is at
hand. 1t Is believed a reconstruction
of the cabinet is impending, which will
facilitate this change.
THE cabinets of Berlin and Vienna
are becoming alarmed, and desperate
efforts are being made to compromise
Bulgaria in the eyes of the entente
powers by provoking hostilities be-
tween Bulgaria and Serbia: but the
Bulgarian government is firmly re-
solved not to allow it's hand to be
forced"

coming general in Rome that Austria

GRAND DUKE SHOT
BY RUSS GENERAL
Prussian Paper Thus Explains
Purported Illness of Cars
Commander.

BERLIN, April Il. by wireless to Say
vile. N. Y.-The General Anzeiger OF
Duisburg. Rhenish Prussia. says it learns
from an absolutely unimpeachable
source" that the reported sickness of
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch. com
mander-in-chief of the Russian forces, was
due to shot in the abdomen, fired by the
late Gen. Baron Sievers of the defeated
Russian 10th Army
The General AnZeiger says Gen. Sievers
was summoned by the grand duke to ex-
plain the defeat Of the Russian 10th
Army
In Heated Colloquy.
A heated colloquy took place, the news
paper says. and the grand duke gave Gen.
Sievers a box on the ear. The latter
thereupon drew d revolver and wounded
the grand duke. subsequently turning the
weapon on himself.
The fact that Gen. Sievers had commit
ted suicide, the General AnZeiger con-
tinues. was learned at the time of his
funeral, but the news that Grand Duke
Nicholas had been wounded has only just
become known.
Commanded Defeated Tenth.
Gen. Sievers was the commander. OF
the Russian tenth army. which, in the
middle of February met with severe
defeat at the hands of the Germans in
the Mazurian lakes region of East
Prussia. The report that the general
had committed suicide appeared in the
Frankfurter Zeitung March u. The
newspaper said it had received dis
patch from Petrograd intimating that
the Russian officer had ended his own
life. The authority for this inference,
however. seemed to rest on the fact
that reports had been in circulation
concerning Il mourning service which
was held for the general in Lutheran
church and the report was not con
firmed from any other source.

PENCE MAY Be MADE
COMMITTEE SECRETARY
McCombs Is Reported as Likely to
Retire as Democratic Ma
tional Chairman.

Possible changes in the personnel of
the democratic national committee is
the subject of gossip in democratic po-
litical circles. 1t is said that Thomas
J. Pence is likely to be made secretary
of the committee for the coming cam
paign. to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignat alton from the committee of Jo-
seph f.. Davies, who was made chair
man of the federal trade commission.
Mr.. Pence is director of publicity of
the national committee and also acting
secretary in charge of national head
quarters in this city. He is probably
the. most widely known man in the
committee. barring the chairman. His
bureau has been actively at work dur
ing the interim since the last election,
and is preparing to meet the renewed
industry of the republicans exerted
through their committees.
Chairman McCombs May Quit.
1t is reported in democratic political
circles to be not at all certain that
Chairman William r. McCombs will
continue in the chairmanship Of the
committee for the next campaign, un-
less his health shows marked improve
ment. The arduous work of the sue
cessful campaign of 1912 left it's mark
upon MIR. McCombs, and he has never
fully recovered his strength.
In event of his retirement Homer S
Cummns of Connecticut, vice chair
man. is prominently mentioned as his
possible successor. Joseph P. Tumulty

choice of many members of the COM
mittee for the chairmanship. and

How 1t Growsl

No student Of social and economic
problems can afford TO ignore the de
iyelopments Of the past year as regards
the liquor traffic. Irrespective of our
personal views on the subject, We
must mark with interest the following
facts:
/. The sale Of vodka was abolished
| Ia Russia by imperial decree at the
outset of the war and within the last
few days beer also has come under
/ t1e ban at Petrograd.
.. France has forbidden the traffic
in absinthe
B. The open hours of English pub.
lie houses have been curtaiIed
a. On March l a statewide prohi-
bItion law went into effect in Ten
nessce.
s. On July | West Virginia inau.
gurated statewide prohibition.
6. On November constitutional
amendments forbidding the sale of
liquor were adopted in Arizona, Colo
RADIO, Oregon and Washington.
z. A majority Of the national house
of representatives on December %
voted In favor Of submitting prohi-
bition amendment to the states.
The opponents Of prohibition can in
deed point to the rejection of prohib-
tory amendments in California and
Ohio and to the failure of the house
resolution at Washington to secure
the necessary two-thirds vote, but
they cannot point to the abandonment
lin 1915 OF prohibition by any state
where it was already in qbrce.
The prohlbitory area III the United
States is steadily on ''the increase,
through constitutional amendments,
statewide prohibition laws, or coun-
ty, municipal or township option Con
staerably more than half the ,popula-
ton of the country now lives In terEk
tory from which the saloon has been
legally banished. The facts are inn
prcssiye enough without explanation
or argument.
