 MAINTAIN THEIR HONOR

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The French gov ernment has ordered three French off, ficers of the aviation corps who broke their parole and escaped from Switz- erland where they were interned, to return to Switzerland and surrender themselves to the military authori- ties.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The opposition to the conscriptior measure in the House of Commons forced the Brit ish cabinet members to admit to the House of Lords that the Allies had been unable to send assistance to Ser ;,ia and that K'as Peters country .ycs doomed tc be conquered by the Teutons and Rulgarians anl that the Dardanelles campaign had proved a disappointment.
 Serbia is reported to have sent ap- peals to the Allies for assistance when first threatened by the Teutonic cen tralization of troops in Southern Aus tria and near the border of Montene- gro, but that the Allies were unable to spare the required troops from the other campaigns.
 It is admitted that Serbia's army has been defeated at a number of points by both the Teutons and Bull garian armies and that with the ex- ception of the southern portion of the

WILL SEND ARMS
 BUT NOT MEN
Arsenals Being Increas- ed to Keep Russians Supplied
 With Munitions of War.

TOKYO, Oct. 27.-The Japanese government has issued denial of the report sent out from Vienna, stating that a number of Japanese soldiers had been captured with Russian prfs- oners in Galicia, and creating the inn pression that Japan had sent troops to Russia to fight against the Rus sians, but if so they were not Japa- nese soldiers but Japanese who had enlisted for adventure or other mo- tives as the government had discour- aged its citizens from serving with other nationalities.
 The intuition factories of Japan are operating at fullest capacity in or der to keep the Russian armies sup piled and the government arsenals are being enlarged to increase the output.
 Referring to the impracticability of Japan sending troops to Russia to check the Teutons in their trium- phant march against Riga, the Japan Times, voicing the sentiment of the Japanese government, said:
 I've know full we'll that our Allies, our friends, will not ask or expect this country to take the bread from the mouths of our children, to leave the home unprotected, or make future recoyerv impossible. These are the only limits we set to the share we are prepared to take in this great strug- gle in which our friends are involv- ed."

G0MPERS CHARGES
 :HuGE CONSPIRACY J:
President Wilson Will Ask Congress to Pass Stringent Neutrality
 Laws at Coming Session.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Presi- dent Wilson yesterday afternoon granted an audience to Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed |eration of Labor, when they discuss ed the conspiracy of the German agents to wreck the munition facto- ries in the United States which have been supplying munitions of war to the Allies.
 The last time President Gompers called at the White House was early last spring when he charged that German agents had attempted to bribe officials of the International Union to engage in a general strike which would result in tying up shipping on both the At lantic and Pacific coasts. Gompers asserted that German agents had of- fered to distribute $1,0OO,000 among the union men If the strike was pro- longed two months in order to keep the Allies from securing munitions from the United States.
 President Gompers is believed to have laid conclusive proof before President Wilson that huge conspir- acy exists to wreck the intuition fac tories, as we'll as destroy ships at sea, as immediately after the labor leader left the White House, President Will son called several of the cabinet mem bers into conference and later an- nounced that the administration would ask congress at the coming session to pass strict neutrality laws.

RUSSIA PLACES BIG
 ORDER FOR CARS
Busy Buying Rolling Stock in the U. S. to Equip Her Double
 Track Road to Arctic Port.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 26.-The Rus sian government has placed an order for eight thousand more steel cars for the equipment of her new railroad line running from Petrograd to Eka- terina Bay. The orders have been placed with manufacturers and the contracts call for delivery at the ear Hest possible date.
 Skilled mechanics and railroad men are also being brought from the Uni7 ted States to push at the greatest possible speed the construction of the great railroad system which is to give Russia an all-the-year-round open port in the Arctic.
 At an early period after the begin ming of the war the Russian govern ment determined that she must have an outlet to the sea in order to se- cure munitions as the narrow-gauge railroad crossing Siberia was unable to transport the shipments owing to the cold during the winter. The clos ing of the Baltic to Russian shipping left Russia with Archangel as her only open port for supplies from Flu rope. Last winter, despite the fact that great ice breakers, which had been used successfully in Canada on the Great Lakes, were used at Arch angel to keep the channel open, Arch angel was closed for three months by a barrier of ice.
 The new Russian port of Ekater- ina, although we'll within the Arctic circe is ice-free throughout the year owing to the effects of the Gulf stream.

Wife of Wealthy Manufacturer Says That Husband Had Another
 Wife Living When Wed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Viriginius Mayo, the wealthy New Haven manu- facturer whose complicated domestic affairs have been attracting wide at tention owing to his numerous ap- pearances in the courts during the past year, is now being sued by his Scranton wife for $250, ,0O0, who says that he had wife living and undi- vorced when he married her.
 The Scranton Mrs. Mayo was given . divorce last June, after her hus- bandfHw settled the suit of Susanna WaKlers, of New Haven, who claimed that +hs manufacturer had married her several years before and had fail- ed to secure a divorce. Mayo testi- fed on his own behalf that the Wah- lers woman had written him that she had secured divorce but search of the court records failed to show the fact that while the divorce de- cree had been granted that the sigma ture of the court had not been attach ed as the costs of the case remained unpaid.
 The Scranton woman defended Mayo during the sensational trial for bigamy which followed the disclo- sures of Susanna Wahlers, and im- mediately filed suit for divorce after the bigamy charges had been drop ped by the Wahlers woman.

The neutrality of Greece is not ex- pected to endure the test to which it is being subjected and it is regarded as doubtful if the king will be able to fill his cabinet owing to the de- mands of the populace that Greece en- ter the war against Bulgaria.

The opening move of the Valdez City Council against the Valdez Dock company was made this afternoon, when J. c. Martin, local agent of the company, was cited to appear before the court to answer to the charge of violating Ordinance No. 90. and which will ultimately mean that the dock question will ue thrashed out before the district court.
 It was reported on the streets yes- terday that MT. Martin was to be ar rested, but the council evidently re- considered the matter and decided to avoid a possible damage suit for ar rest by notifying him to appear be- fore the magistrate in answer to the complaint, which read as follows:
 "The undersigned, Willard Scott, Harbormaster of the town of Valdez, Alaska, complains to the court and charges the fact that on the 18th day of October, 1915, at the town of Val dez, and within the corporate limits thereof, the Valdez Dock company, a corporation, did in violation of Sec tion Four (4) of an ordinance of said Town of Valdez, to-wit Ordinance No. 90, passed and approved the 18th day of August, 1915, and entitled An ordinance to define the harhor limits of the Municipality of the Town of Valdez, Alaska; to provide regula- tions to govern the use of landings, docks and wharves within the harbor limits of said town; to provide for 8 harbormaster and his duties and to provide penalties for violations" then and there unlawfully and in vio- lation of said section four (4, charge and collect wharfage on freight and merchandise landed or from a steamer, to-wit,

 Wherefore, complainant prays the court to declare and assess against the defendant herein the penalties prescribed by said ordinance for the punishment of such offense, and that it render judgment therefor, togeth- CT with the costs in this behalf ex- pended.

 "Harbormaster."
 Attorneys for the defense entered motion to set aside the complaint on the grounds that the Common Coun- Gil of the Town of Valdez was with out authority to pass Ordinance No. 90, and that the council is without it's authority to extend it's jurisdic- tion beyond the exterior boundaries of the town, and that Ordinance No. 90 is illegal and void because the en- forcement of the same is an attempt to confiscate vested private property without due compensation to .he owners. The motion was overruled.
 City Magistrate Frame also over ruled the demurrer by defense that the facts in the complaint did not constitute a crime for the reason that the ordinance which the defendant was accused of violating was illegal and void.
 The defense then resl.~ it's case and Magistrate Frame imposed fine of $50, which was not paid and from present prospects the case will be fought through the higher courts be- fore settlement is made.
