bassador Gerard to use his good offices
in behalf of about thirty Belgians re-
ported to be under sentence of execu-
ton.

EASY FOR ST. LOUIS
TO GET CONVENTION
James B. Reynolds Says Many
Republicans Favor City
as Meeting Place.

All that is necessary for ST. Louis to
do in her effort to obtain the holding of
the pext republican national convention
in that city is to raise fund Of 500, 900
and begin work with the members of the
republican national committee. which
meets in Washington December II to Sc
lect the convention city and set the date
for the big gathering.
This is the way James B. Reynolds,
secretary of the republican national
committee, sized up the situation follow
ing his tour of the country, which took
him to the Pacific coast. and after his
visit to New York. where he reported the
results of his tour to Charles D. Hilles,
national chairman.
Mr.. Reynolds was reminded that he
had talked very optimistically while in
st. Louis on his recent tour regarding
the chances of the city winning the con-
vention, and was asked If he>had in his
travels received information which
strengthened his opinion on the point.
Sentiment Favors St. Louis.
Yes. there is a strong sentiment
among members of the committee for St.
Louis. The reason Is the belief that the
holding of the convention would help the
party in Missouri. which is a doubtful
state. The elements Of the republican
party have got together so nicely there
and seem in such good spirits toward
one another, that members of the nation
al committee with whom l have talked
feel that the holding of the national con-
vention in ST. Louis would solidify the
party and bring Missouri once more into
the republican column in the next ma
ttonal election"
Fund Should Have No Strings"
Mr.. Reynolds considered it would be
necessary to raise the 100000, and
when told of the activities of the con-
vention organization already formed
and working, he said it would in his
opinion not be the wisest thing for the
organization to go after both conven-
tions, or to try for one and then, los
ing that. try for the other. Neither did
he think, speaking purely from a COM
mittee viewpoint. that it would be ad-
visable to tie any strings to the $780,
900 guarantee. Chicago in 1912 raised
100000 for a joint fund to work for
both or either of the conventions. It
got the republican convention and re-
turned about $4,000 to the subscribers.
Mr.. Reynolds naturally thinks the
fund should be placed entirely at the
disposal of the national committee, and
If there should be any surplus remain
ing it should be understood in advance
that 1t would go toward financing the
national committee.

NINE ARE EXECUTED AS SPIES
BY GERMANS IN BEL LGIUM, CLAIM
Four Women Said to Be Among the Ten
Others Sentenced to Penal Servitude
for Alleged Bold Work.

LONDON, October 30.-Nine persons
who were convicted October 2S of
espionage in Belgium were executed
yesterday, according to the Amsterdam
correspondent of Reuters Telegra m
Company, who says this information
was received in an official telegram
from Berlin.
Ten other persons, including three
women. were sentenced to penal servi-
tude, it is stated The correspondents
dispatch follows:
IAN official telegram from Berlin
states that in the last few days two ad-
ditional important espionage cases
have been detected in Belgium and
northern France. In Belgium twenty
one persons have been arrested.
ut is alleged that after having con-
fined their energies for some months to
obtaining news by espionage and send
ing it to France by way of Holland
they became bolder in September,
planning TO dynamite railways and
military age to escape from Belgium
to France Among those arrested are
four women, the principal charge
against them being that they were en-
dangering the safety of the German
army.
Managed by Women.
THE espionage system reported to
have been discovered In France Is al
legged to have been managed by the
wife of a French officer. 1t is charged
that she received her instructions di-
rect from the French military authori-
ties. Two other women are also under
arrest, and, according to Berlin. the
extent to which the system Of espion-
age is organized is indicated by the
fact that the arrested persons figure
prominently in the French secret serv-
ice list.
"The guilt Of the accused. 1t Is stated,
already has been established.
Mine persons, the message adds, were
tried for espionage in Belgium october
