CONsTANTINOPLE TO RUSSIA
Aspirations for An Outlet
to the Sea.

London, Feb. 26.-"With Russia's
desire for access to the sea, England
is in entire accord" Sir Edward Grey,
foreign secretary, said today in the
House of Commons in response to
question from Frederick w. Jowett
whether England knew of and ap-
proved the statement of the Russian
foreign minister, NJ Sazonoff, in the
Duma that Russia intended perma-
uentIy to occupy Constantinople.'
The foreign secretary responded
that he was unaware that NJ. Sazonoff
had made any such statement, but, he
added. 'tthe statement have seen was
that NJ. Sazonoff had said that the
events on the Russo-Turkish frontier
would bring Russia nearer realization
of the political economic problems
bound up with Russia's access to the
sea.
With these aspirations" he con-
tinued, England is in sympathy. What
form their realization will take will no
doubt be settled in the terms of
peace"

INVOLVES EMBASSY
Federal Officials Find German
Naval Attache Connected
With Spying Trouble.
TRAFFIC IN FALSE PASSPORTS
Count Won Bernstorff May Be Asked
to Remove His Aide Because of
Strong Evidence Found.

New York, Feb. 26-Carl Hans
Lody, the former resident of Omaha
executed as a spy in the Tower Of Lon
don last November, was sent to his
death by Capt. K. Boy-ed, the naval at
tache of the German embassy, accord
ing to a statement made today by
Richard P Stegler, the German re-
Eervist. arrested in this city Wednes-
day by federal officers investigating
the alleged traffic in fraudulent United
States passports.
In this statement, made to Charles
H Grifiths, the former assistant
United States district attorney whom
United States Commissioner Clarence
S. Houghton assigned to defend the
young German, StegIer involved an
other man besides Boy-ed, one whom
he declared to be a member Of the
German diplomatic corps, now resi-
dent in this city.
Mr. Grifiths said tonight:
In the course of his deals with
Boy-ed, Stegler was sent to a Doctor
Fuehr, who, up to the time the war
began, was in the Toxic embassy Of
the kaiser. He now is in New York.
Fuehr, Stegler says, told him in the
course of a conversation that it was
BOy-ed who sent Lody to England.
This came about through Stegler ask
ing about Lody. Fuehr, he says, told
him in so many words that BCy-ed
sent him across and referred him to
the captain for Details
Boy-ed denied emphaticaIly and spe-
officially that he knew anything of
Lody except what he read in the pa
pers. He denied that he had offered
Stegler $3.50 month to work as II
spy in London and a like amount to
his wife for life in the event of his
meeting death.
That no member OF the diplomatic
corps will be indicted with these men
is due not to lack of evidence, but 10
the immunity which cloaks a diplomat
from arrest.
This evidence satisfied some Of the
officials that Boy-ed was not acting on
his own account in his relations with
Stegler.
Washington was discreetly silent.
though it is known that all the evil
dence in the Stegler matter will be
put up to Count Won Bernstorff, who
will be given an opportunity to de-
eide without any interference from
this government as to whether OR not
the usefulness of his naval aid i'll this
country is not at an end.

Gle Near Scene of Killing

Aurora, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-In an old
wooden glove, one that was worn by
a man engaged in hard labor, the po-
lice pin their greatest hope of find

NORWEGIAN COLLIER SUNK
German Submarine Sends the Regin
to the Bottom With a Tor
pedo Off Dover.

London, Feb. 24-Another Norwe
gian vessel fell victim today to the
German submarine The steamer Re

The Regin is the second Norwegian
vessel sent to the bottom by Ger

submarine blockade against merchant
men was launched. The first victim
was the BeIridge, which was torpe-
doed off Folkstone February 49, The
Regin was sunk today in almost the
same spot, indicating that the subma-
rine terrors still constitute a menace
to trade.
The Regin was en- route from New

EMBARGO ON EXPORTS LIKELY
This Country May Take Sharp Action
if England and Germany ignore
Demands of Government.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Great Brit
ain has submitted TO her allies,
France and Russia, the proposals
made by the United States govern
ment designed to end the menace by
neutral commerce arising from the
retaIiatory measures of the European
belligerents toward each other.
Briefly, the American proposals,
which have been submitted to both
England and Germany, seek the elimi-
nation by Germany of the recently
prescribed war zone around Great
Britain and Ireland with its dangers
to neutral shipping through mines and
submarine torpedoes, and the adop-
tion by all the belIigerents of a def
mite policy with regard to the ship
ment of foodstuffs destined for the
civilian population of their enemies.
1t is not expected that a reply to the
informal communication from the
American government Will be received
here for at least two days. From
such preliminary observations as
American diplomatic officers abroad
already have made, there is said to
be some encouragement in the man
ner of the reception of the proposals
at London. Germany is inclined to-
ward an acceptance of the sugges-
lions, it is understood, but upon the
attitude of Great Britain depends the
next move in the situation.
The strong opposition which the
Scandinavian countries, Italy, Holland
and other neutrals have assumed to-
ward the retaliatory measures adopted
by the belligerents is playing con-
siderable part in the situation. Al
though the American proposals have
not been communicated to other neu-
trails, it may be stated that practically
all the neutral governments of Eu-
rope are in accord with the Washing
ton government

Both French and English Armies Are

London, Feb. 27.-The continued
progress which the French are said
to be making in the Champagne dis
trict and the pressure which the AL
lies, without attempting any great Of
fensive, are declared to be bringing
to bear on the German line in the west

By day and by night, Dutch news
paper says, big motor cars loaded with
German soldiers are hurrying through
Belgium to the western front and the
troops which had been sent to North
ern Belgium are going back to the
trenches. The fact that some of the
troops now passing through Belgium
come from the eastern front suggests
to the military observers that the Ger

to hold the Russians in their present

This is the time of the year when

Owing to the cold weather they drink
