SECRET NAVAL BASE
FOR THE KARLSRUHE
IN HAITI, is REPORT
German Cruiser Supplied
With Coal and Provisions
at Mole St. Nicolas.
Complications Feared.
roRr.Au.pR1NcE. Haltl. Jan. Z.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. Z.
According to advlces received here, both
by letters and from visiting fishermen,
Mole st. Nicholas has been converted into
q naval base for Germany and is now
the port of the German cruiser Karlsruhe
To make matters more complicated. there
has been an interruption In the line OF the
French cable company between this port
and Cape Haitlen and between Cape
Haitien and Mole st. Nicolas
Although the Government has issued a
formal denial of the rumors, definite word
has been received from a prominent resi-
dent of Cape Haitien that steamships from
New York and New Orleans have been
landing coal and provisions In large guam
titles at Mole st. Nicolas for some time,
and that for some weeks the Karlsruhe
has been taking these aboard when neces-
sary. Fishermen report having frequently
seen the Karlsruhe in the Windward Pas
sage headed toward the Mole
Foreign dlplomatists stationed here
say that the United States Government
is keenly alive to the danger of in
ternational complications in connection
with what Is said to be tantamount to O
German seizure of Mole st. Nicolas The
United states mas appeared IN neBOtla-
tons for the German purchase of Mole
st. Nicolas previously
Negotiations by Germany for a naval
base at Mole st. Nicolas have twice been
on, and contract was drawn up con-
veying the Mole to Germany for naval
purposes little more than Il year ago.
and President Oreste was about to afflx
his signature to II when Mr. Osborn,
then Assistant Secretary of State. came
to Port-au-Prince on board a United
States warship and prevented the trans
fer.
To appreciate the Importance of Mole
st. Nicolas as naval base, one must
realize that the harbor is large enough
to accommodate great navy and is
one of the finest natural marine retreats
in the world
The Theodore Government has given
out u statement that II is possible for
the Karlsruhe to use the harbor without
the Government knowing 1t.
In connection with the news about the
Karlsruhe, reports received here today
state that there Is in progress a counter
revolt against the Government of Presi-
dent Theodore in Grand Riviere and Ba-
hon in the south and in Ouanamlnth in
the north. A considerable force is said
to have espoused the cause of General
Vilbrun Guillaume who is said TO have
a large silent following in many parts OF
the island. General Theodore's adviser
In the present crisis is Mr. Furniss, former

FRENCH FORCES
CLOSE TO ALTKIRCH

Continued from Page One
only 2ih miles from Altkrch. They have
taken up a position In a small forest
near that town, and 1t is believed here
that they will soon capture Altllrch.
With AltlSiroh and Thanh in the possess
sion of the French the Germans will have
lost control of the railroads running
northwest and southwest from Muelhau-
sen, lines that will prove of vast impor-
tance to the French.
Today's official communique reports
two German counter attacks in the Alt
kirch region, one at the west of Watwiller
and another near Kolschlad, but declares
that both were Immediately repulsed.
Hill No 425. west of Cernay (Sennheim),
ig still the centre of furious fighting, but
the French have retained their foothold
there. and at Steinbach they have made
themselves masters of one part of the
first line of the enemy's trenches.
In the entire region between the Lys
and the sea the French artillery has been
uniformly successful and has silenced sew
eral OF the German main batteries There
have been no infantry movements in this
section because of the floods. The rain
continues and the entire country is in
undated to a depth at certain points of
several feet. Only on the high ground
can the troops be retained and they are
simply guarding the flooded trenches.
Desperate lighting took place last night
and today In the Vicinity of Lille. The
Germans made a determined attack
against line of trenches under cover of
mine throwers and artillery. The on
slaught was SO terrific that the French
were compelled to abandon the trench,
but later. when relnforcements had been
brought up, they attacked In force and
recovered the ceded territory.
TO the east of Rheims the Germans
have been checked in a determined ad-
vance by the explosion of mines directly
In their front.

GARTBALDI RED SHIRT
ON GRANDSON'S BIER
CALLS ROME TO WAR
Funeral of Liberator's Kin,
Slain in Allies Cause,
Scene of Anti-German
Demonstration.
By ALICE RoHE

ROME. Jan. THE spirit of Garibaldl
is stalking through the streets of Rome.
The red shirt of the dead patriot, spread
in France lighting for the Allies, brought
the war spirit to the front as never be-
fore since the opening OF the war.
All the way from the railway station
to Verano Cemetery the funeral process
sion moved through triple ranks of Ital-
ians who alternately wept and cheered
for the success Of the Allies. No one
In official life made any effort to min
imlze the demonstration.
It was plain from the beginning that
this was not the mere funeral OF hero,
even though Bruno Garibaldi was blood
kin to Italy's greatest hero. Rather the
fact was emphasized that the dead man
represented the sympathles of the thou
sands who had brought home to them the
fact that italian soldiers are now fighting
In alien uniforms for nation with whom
Italy deeply sympathizes.
While the fact that Bruno GaribaldI
died in action with his regiment of Ital-
TO rouse the fighting spirit, the fact that
just before the body arrived word came
that Constantine Garibaldi, a brother,
also had been killed. Increased the patriot
ism of the crowd.
AS the procession advanced, headed by
veterans of Garibaldfs original legions,
wearing their picturesuqe red-shirted uni
forms and marching to the strains of the
"Marseillaise," it was greeted by wild
cheering and cries Of "Vive la France"
which the thousands of gendarmes at
FIRST vainly tried to suppress.
An enormous crowd had gathered in
the square in front of the Belgian lega-
tion, and 1t demonstrated its approval
as tho banners carried in the procession
were dipped in salute to the Belgian flag
flying at half staff over the building.
In the procession in the position of
honor there marched on foot the Am
bassadors OF France, England and Rus
sia and the Belgian, Montenegrin and
Servian Ministers with their oficial staffs
in full uniform.
Despite the presence OF the enormous
force OF troops. an occasional cry OF
"Down with Germany" rang out from
the crowd,
In the funeral cortege were represented
the Soeialistic and Masonic societies,
representatives OF Trieste and Trent
Provinces and every element of Italian
life, including even members Of the Vati-
can. It was plain that the sentiment
anlmatlng the crowds in the streets was
I'm every way an Endorsement OF the war
preparations which the italian Govern
ment "a making. and the entrance of Italy
into the war on the side of the Allies is
again predicted.

Support of Germans.
LONDON, Jan. T. The movement
launched among Belgian refugees in Eng
land to rebuild devastated Belgium into
land. where It has created much enthu-
slasm. according to the Rotterdam corre-
spondent of the Berliner Tageblatt.
A branch of the International Garden
Cities Planning Association, whose head
quarters is in London, has recently been
opened in Rotterdam. An active propa-
ganda is on foot there for building up
model towns and model country in
Belgium.
All the civilized nations will be invited
to contribute ideas for the erection in
the destroyed Belgian cities, towns and
villages of model homes which, while
preserving as much as possible the pic
turesqueness of the buildings leveled by
the guns. will exemplify the best type of
community dwellings,,
Commenting on this plan the Tageblatt
says:
THE idea Is salutary and has certainly
been contemplated by the German Gov
ernment which, having always sponsored
and ehamploned the idealistio in munich
pal planning and buildings, surely will
take care that her newest protectorate
is resurrected from its ruins"
Richard w. Watrous. secretary of the
American Civic Association, said that
students of municipal planning in the
United States were following with in
terest the attempts which were being
made TO assist Belgium not only with
material means. but with ideas which, ie
they could be realized, would build iner
Belgium that the world had known
