DELEVAL IS FORCED
 TO LEAVE BELGIUM
Germany Gives Notice Belgian in Employ of United States is
 Persona Non Grata.

Washington, Nov. 1o.-M. Deleval, a Belgian, employed by the United States as counsellor to the legation at Brussels, has left Belgium and will not return to his post, because Ger many has given notice that he is per- soma non grata. The state depart ment will not admit that Deleval has been removed, but announced today that he had left Belgium and will not return.
 Deleval probably will go to Havre, the present seat of the Belgian gov- ernment.
 Whether his unacceptability to Ger many came about through the activi- ties of the American legation staff in the case of Edith Cavell, the British nurse executed by German military authorities, is not made clear at the state department, although there are some intimations that it might have been.
 Under international law Germany is not called upon to give the reasons fer objecting to Deleval, and merely has notified the United States that his presence is objectionable. Therefore the United States could no longer re- tain him as an attache of its legation on soil under German de facto con tro1.
 Deleval left Belgium with Minister Whitlock

Amsterdam, Nov. 10, via London, 9:50 A. M.-Commenting upon the American note to Great Britain, the Cologne Gazette says: "If the Ameri- can government acts according to the wording and spirit of the memoran- dunn, it will acquire imperishable merit for the release of the sea from England's despotism.
 The note makes known to the whole world through the mouth of the mightiest neutral, which is England S friend, how Great Britain in this war has tramped down international law, destroying the freedom Of the seas and despised the interests of neutrals.
 The memorandum imprints stig- ma upon England which she never can remove. She has abused her sea power in order to exercise upon the sea the despotism which brought her immense advantage, but incalculable prejudice to universal trade"

H. 5. TEACHER ASKS
 HANNA FOR DAMAGES
Was Injured When Bleach, CTS Collapsed at Elec-
 tric Field.

Miss Crescentia Beck of 174 Maple street, a teacher of French at the New Britain High school, has consulted counsel with view of learning wheth- CT she can secure damages for injuries received during the New Britain High Hartford High school football game last Saturday at Electric field. Miss Beck was one of those sitting on the bleachers that collapsed and she re- ceived injuries to her hip and back which forced her to remain home for two days.
 Kirkham & Cooper are now hand ling Miss Beck's interests and they will probably take up the matter with William W. Hanna, leesee of Electric field from the Connecticut company. The lawyers have investigated the re- sponsibility through the office of the town clerk in Plainville and have learned that Hanna has a lease of the field until April 1, 1918. The lease stipulates that Hanna shall be respon- sible for injuries to those attending athletic events at the field:
 Miss Beck told a Herald reporter this afternoon that she thought she should be recompensed for her in- juries and for the time lost from her duties at the High school. It is be- 1eved she will bring suit if Hanna refuses to settle.
 Mrs. Robert N. Peck of 42 Park place, one of whose legs was broken when the bleachers colla psed, was re- ported today to be resting as comfort. ably as could be expected under the circumstances. Her physician, Dr. Cook of Hartford, informed her hus- band, Vice President Peck of the Stan ley Rule and Level company, that the break was a bad one and it would be some time before Mrs. Peck would recover the full use of her injured limb.
 MT. Peck was asked whether he intended to bring suit against Hanna and he replied that he had not decided that point. He said if any action was brought it would not be for some time.

CONDOS BROTHERS HELD
 ON EXPLORATION CHARGE
Secret Service Gets InfOrma. ton Concerning Agents
 of Central POwers.'

New York, Nov. 10.-Alexander and Victor Condos, editors of newspapers published in English and Hungarian at Bridgeport, Conn.,, who were ar rested late yesterday charged with at tempted extortion, were questioned all night by police, and agents Of the secret service and departments or justice. At the conclusion of the examination today police announced that the Condos brothers had fur nished important information con- cerning Agents of the Central Powers" in this country, and regard ing Austro- Hungarian agents who visited Bridgeport shortly before the labor troubles in munition factories their last summer.
 The brothers also explained, .ac- cording to the police, how they came to ask Julius Pirnitzer, president of the Transatlantic Trust company of : New York to put up $2,0oo, which act led to their arrest.
 Pirnitzer also operates bank at | Bridgeport, and the Condos brothers claimed that he controls a. majority or the financial business of Austrians and Hungarians in this country. They ex- pIained, police say, that some time ago rival bankers asked them to carry on a publicity campaign against the Pirnitzer banks. They accepted $2,O0O, they said, but before starting the campaign, they changed their minds, deciding Pirnitzer. was too powerful to be opposed. Therefore, they told the police, they asked Pir- nitzer to give them $2,000, which they were forced to return to his rivals.
 Shortly after their arrests the Con- dos brothers, according to the police, charged that Pirnitzer was the agent here for the Central powers and that he had furnished funds for the activities of Lieut.. Robert Fay and others.
 Pirnitzer emphatically denied the accusation and the police said no evidence was forthcoming to sub stantiate the charge.
