u. S. FINDS GERMANY BACKED FAY
PLOTTER'S LIFE TRACED IS YEARS
SERBS IN DEATH GRIP WITH FOE
Main Army Makes Stand in Mountain Region, South Of
Kraevo, West Of Nsh-Czar Claims
Big Russian Victory
ITALY DECIDES TO SEND TROOPS TO THE BALKANS

Washfngton-Th State Depart
ment, successfully tracing the life OF
Lieutenant Robert Fay for the last
sixteen years, has verified his con-
fession that he was sent to this coun-
try by the German Secret Service to
cripple munition-carry ships.
Announcement of this fact, which
is certain to make the conspiracy I'M
covered when Fay and his associate,
Scholz, were arrested in Hoboken an
international issue, was accompanied
by the information that Fay was real
ly a commissioned officer in the Kali
ser's infantry, as he said. Full cor
roboration of his story Of connections
in Germany is in the hands OF the
Washington authorities.
Through its agents in Berlin, it was
learned, the State Department has
definitely corrobrated Fay's state
ments that he was authorized by his
superiors to come to the United States
and attach bombs to merchant steam
ers. His confession that before leav-
ing on the mission he conferred with
one Johannson, a high official of the
Secret Service II Brussels, has been
verified.
simultaneously with announcement
of the new significance given the de-
struction plot came the assertion from
an authoritative source that Fay has
offered to turn Governments evidence
and has made a new and complete
confession.
Disconsolate over his desertion bv
the German Government and his re
pudiation by its diplomatic officials,
his spirit broken by three weeks in
the Tombs, il is understood the young
officer has made new and startling
revelations and has offered to lay bare
plans for for the work intrusted to
him, in the hope that in exchange he
viii be permitted to terminate his ex-
Derience with American prisons.
Tilted States officials are convinced
that Feys aid may prove the most
important step yet made toward clear
ing up the entire alleged German con-
spiracy in the United States. II is
understood the new confession brings
into the plot more important names
than have yet been mentioned in its
connection, and supplies information
vital to the investigation Of conspira-
cies other than the disabling Of ships
blowing up of chemical works, burn
ing of munition plants, and other
phases Of the activities which are as
serted not to have ceased with the de-
parture Of Dr. Dumba.

lraportera to Hire Ships and Move
Goods Held at Rotterdam.

Washington.-Plsns are under way
by New York syndicate to offer a
new method Of relief for American
importers whose goods are tied up
in Rotterdam and who are unable to
get the British Government to live up
to the assurances which It gave for
the release of the merchandise.
Announcement was made here that
a syndicate headed by ]. f. Bernard
OF Bernard Judae & Co., forwarding
agents of New York and Chicago, are
considering the chartering of Ameri.
can owned steamships flying the Amer.
lean flag and manned exclusively by
Americans to bring about 100000
Of this merchandise belonging to
American firms. The plan, as an.
nounced here, is for the syndicate
TO accept all American owned goods
for which the British Foreign Office
has refused to grant releases.
The effect of this move. if carried
out, will be to bring the issue between
the United States and Great Britain
to a head. There will be nothing to
prevent American vessels from taking
on board the American owned mer
chandise now lying at the neutral port
Of Rotterdam, but if Great Britain
seizes the American vessels after they
leave Rotterdam and takes them into
port American importers, it is con.
tended, would have the basis for

HOLT AND MR.. MORGAN.

That night the capitol in Washington
was dynamited, and the next morning
the financier was attacked.
Chief Constable McCahill of Glen
Cove, who had been securing Long IS
land ever since Mr.. Morgan was shot,
heard that there had been lot Of Cos
sip about Central Park concerning a
strange man who had rented a tiny
bungalow which stands in a thick
clump Of pine trees on the outskirts Of
the hamlet.
McCahill learned this man, tall,
smooth shaved and with a receding
chin, alighted from train at Central
Park and approached Richard Russell,
a resident of the place. He asked If
Russell could tell him where he could
find Louis OFT, real estate man of the
village. OFT was not about at the time,
so the stranger, who volunteered to
Russell that his name was Hendricks
and that he was an invalid, strolled
about the village until the real estate
man returned. To OFT he said
II am in very poor health, and my
doctor has ordered me to a quiet place
in the country. I would like a little
cottage of some sort where l could
have absolute rest and do some literary
work. Who owns that small bungalow
down there in the pinesT'
OFT told him that a Mr.. Arnold of
Brooklyn owned the place and would
rent it. So the stranger, now giving
his name as Totten, engaged the bun
galow for two weeks. He had with
him a suit case the day he talked to
OFT.
The few people who live thereabout
naturally were interested in the new
conner. They noticed that each day he
would start out, carrying his suit case
in a way that indicated it was empty.
He would return with the bag seem
ingly weighted down.
The banging of revolver attracted
the neighbors attention, too, and they
saw "Totten" firing at target which
he placed at various distances ranging
from ten feet to 100 yards.
When Constable McCahill heard this
story from OFT he and Constable John
Thompson of Oyster Bay drove over to
Central Park and examined the place.
Their first glance at the interior was
sufficient to show them that the place
had been used as bomb factory or at
least as an experimental laboratory for
the making of bombs. About the floors
were scattered thousands Of match
sticks from which the heads had been
cut There were also dozens Of full
boxes of matches in a complete condi-
ton. 1t will be remembered that In
his first confession Holt explained that
he used match heads in making the
capitol bomb.
Then, too, the constables found sew
eral acid eaten lead pencils, apparently
used to stir a mixture Of some sort Of
acid, and tablecloth in which several
great holes hal been eaten by acid.

Burlington Famous For Good
Roads.

Burlington Standard Democrat: The
casual traveller over the country notices
with pleasure the absence of stones
from the highways surrounding the
beautiful city of Burlington. The
public owes the pathmasters and the
Burlington Automobile association a
vote of thanks for this condition. 1t is
just one of the little things that make
riding on our country roads a pleasure.
The stones have been raked off, and in
many districts it is noticed that the
pathmasters have used the steel or split
log drag to cut down the bumps and
fill up the ruts. Yes, Burlington is ia
nous for it's good roads.
