HAS HIS WIFE ARRESTED
AFTER HER DECEPTION
War Brings About Revelation
Which Proves Shocking to Win
ner of Iron Cross.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
COLOGNE, Germany, August IA
deception that began more than six
months before the start of the war, and
that was successfully practieed until
this month, has just been discovered.
1t might never have been unearthed II
it had not been for the war
In the winter of 1924 a local engi-
neer met and fell in love with a woman
named Marie Schiedeck. In the hope of
interesting the engineer, the woman
had posed as a widowed baroness, the
daughter of prominent German gem
eral When the engineer at last pro-
posed marriage his fiancee could find
no way of rectifying the false impress
sion.
On the plea that the general would be
terribly angry to find that his daughter
had married beneath her rank, the cou-
pie went to London and there We're
married The engineer on several oc-
casions wrote letters to the general,
but his wife was able to intercept each
of the messages and to write answers
calculated to keep the two apart.
Then came the war. and. eventually,
the engineers participation in it. He
had never given up hoping that. he
would some day be able to bring about

SEEKS GERMAN CRUISERS.
Japan Hears of Armed Merchantmen
in the South Seas.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July flowing to persistent
reports that armed German merchant
men have been sighted in the south
seas, the japanese navy has dispatch
ed several fast cruisers to search the
waters of the southern Pacific. Ad-
vices from Australia placed one of
these Germans in the eastern Pacific,
in the neighborhood of the entrance
to the Panama canal, where she was
supposed to be waiting to prey upon
merchantmen of the allies.
Rear Admiral Suzuki, vice minister of
marine, explains the dispatch of war
ships as a measure of precaution. AS
matter of fact, he said, the navy
scarcely credited the reports. but
wanted to make certain that shipping

titled and distinguished father-in-law.
When he received the iron cross for
bravery recently he decided that the
proper time had come. and once more
wrote the general to tell him of the
distinction.
This letter the general did get. and
this time the engineer got a genuine
answer, in which. the officer angrily and
very decidedly disavowed any daughter
or any son-in-law. The deeply dis
appointed engineer could not find 1t in
his heart to forgive his wife, but in
stead had her arrested on a forgery
charge which has just resulted in her
being sentenced to prison for eighteen
months.

CAMP ORDWAY, Colonial Beach, Va
August 20.-Patrols of an imaginary
enemy, which existed only in the minds
of the officers who are directing the
maneuverS here, were brushed ASIDE
like so much underbrush today by the
National Guard of the District of Co
lumbia, which began the task of push
ing it's way to Fredericksburg through
4 country supposed to be filled with
thousands of hostile troops. The COM
mand was operating, theoretically, as
a brigade of infantry.
Long before the town awoke the base
camp was abandoned. Every trooper
who was able to shoulder a rifle was
taken into the field to make up the
provisional brigade. which. according
to the reports brought into headquar-
tiers by the scouts. was successfully
overcoming the enemy's forces.
Each of the three battalions, COM
manded by Maj. Joseph F. Hodgson,
Maj. Wallach A. McCathran and MAJ.
Alexander Summers, respectively, was
of infantry. According to the dis
patches these guards protected the
main body of troops WELL. clearing a
way into the hostile country for the
entire brigade.
Five Hours of Battle.
Col Young took q station some dis
lance behind the advance guard. Or
ders began to fly thick and fast, direct
ing the troops in their work of cutting
the way to Fredericksburg. Encourag-
ing reports came from the battalion
commanders during the entire engage
ment. The exercises terminated in the
new drill field more than a mile away
from the camp grounds. The entire at
lacking movement consumed about five
hours, following which the officers par
ticipating in it formed themselves into
council of war to compare notes on
the days operations.
1t was a surprise to the troops when
they received the command to advance
on Fredericksburg, for the encampment
program provided for the more or less
monotonous extended order of drill
The battalions didn't even stop a mo-
nent on the three-acre field, on which
they have been operating for the last
few days.
1t was a fine choking regiment that
came back into the camp few min
utes before mess time, Only few
minutes were consumed in shaking off
the dust of a days hard travel and put
ting away the equipment, when dive
was made for the mess tent.

Literacy Test And AZ Immigration
 BW To President
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcH]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The presi- dent received the immigration bill as passed by congress and set aside three hours on Friday to listen to ar guments on the merits of the measure. The bill went to the White House with the restrictive literacy test for admis- sion of aliens unamended, despite the frequent declarations by the president that this would not meet with his favor : al
 The fact that the president has granted a hearing for the arguments aroused hopes of the champions of the bill that he will not veto it. In congress there are many democrats who believe the bill could be easily passed over the presidential veto in both houses by the necessary two thirds majority. When Taft vetoed a similar measure it was repassed in the senate and failed by only a few votes
 in the house. Should the president veto it it is feared by administration leaders it might be used further to delay the progress of the shipping bill by the republicans who opposed the latter

SHORT DAYS AND BAD ROADS
 PREVENT ARMY'S RAPID PROGRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

HEADQUARTERS NINTH GER MAN ARMY IN POLAND Delayed), Jan. 1S.-Short days, miserable roads and a stubbornly resisting enemy are the three fold difficulties preventing rapid progress in the eastern cam paign, according to General Von Mackensen, commander of the ninth German artillery, with whom the As sociated Press correspondent dined. Effective shelling of the enemy's po- sition, without which no infantry at tack in these days of modern rapid firing rifles and machine guns is possible against an entrenched enemy, can be carried on only during the five or six hours of daylight Infantry at tacks cannot be pressed home in the same short periods.
 The Russians show no signs of breaking and are fighting hard with every advantage of position between the Germans and Warsaw. The long nights give the Russians abundant time to take off their troops and equipment practically unmolested, to occupy another position equally as strong as the one from which they were elected at much expenditure of effort
 At the outset of the war the Rus sians were accustomed to make more daring use of their artillery in ad- vanced positions, but since their heavy losses in guns. General Non Mackensen said, they have been guarding their cannon, taking as few chances with them as possible. Ap- parently they found their artillery losses severe. as among the recently captured cannon are field guns of antiquated type. The modern type of Russian artillery is very good. General Mackensen said. the heavy mortars particularly so.
 The Russians apparently have diff culties now and then with ammuni tion and supplies, and days of almost uninterrupted quiet are followed by furious cannonades. The shortness of flying time and the lack of many clear days makes the use of aero planes difficult in this field of war

 Construction Company's Profits

NEW YORK. Jan, 18.-James M Sullivan, minister of the Dominican republic whose conduct is under in vestigation before Senator-elect Phe- Ian, was represented during the tes- timony as having insisted in sharing the profits of the construction com pany organized to obtain contracts from the Dominican government. The investigation is being conducted as a result of efforts to remove Sulli- van.
 w.

ILLICIT GATHERING 0F MONEY
 |S CAUSE 0F MUCH POVERTY
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPA1cHl

NEW YORK, Jan 1S-"The illicit gathering of money in certain quar- ters' is the direct cause of much pov- erty, and nearly all railorads and other great corporations are under the con- plete control of banking interests which have reorganiZed them after they have become insolvent, Samuel Untermyer of New York told the fed eral industrial relations commission. The situation had narrowed down in railroad matters, Untermyer declared. until all questions regarding labor conditions in connection with their op- eration could be decided in one office Concentration of power and capital is grossly unfair to labor, he said.
 It was the commissions opening session of the investigation of the countrys great philanthropic organi- cations, such as the Rockefeller Car negie, Sage, Cleveland and Baron de Hirsch foundations. Untermyer. who was counsel for the Pujo congressional committee which investigated the so- called money trust" advocated fed eral charters for these foundations and prohibition against the accumulation of income.
 Roger ". Babson, statistician, said a large commodity like copper is gov i erned by the law of supply and de- mand He declared a large percentage of the labor trouble and social unrest was caused by the plants being gov erned by a board of directors sitting in an office building in some other city, usually New York.
 Babson asserted capitalists have no grudge against labor. They are mere ly indifferent to it. He advocated the , establishment of profit sharing plans among employees of large corporations Untermyer proposed federal exchanges, similar to those existing in Germany before the war; compulsory state regu- lated insurance against unemployment
 sickness and accident and the enact ment of law doing away with voting stock by proxies, making it necessary i for stockholders to vote for themselves { in person or by mail.
