The Kings Appeal.
ITO my people: At this grave mo-

CONVICTED OF MURDER
ON THE HIGH SEAS.
Fireman Leon Hardt Berl<Iein Killed
Another Member of the Crew,

New York. Oct. 22.-Leon Hardt
Berklein, fireman on the steamer
Comanche, who was convicted of man
slaughter for the killing at sea of an
other member of the crew, was SEN
fenced in the federal district court to-
day to serve five years in the United
States penitentiary at atlanta, Ga.
Berkiein's case attracted considerable
public attention because the act with
which he was charged-murder on the
high seas-brought his case under fed
eral jurisdiction, and conviction for
murder. under the federal law, means
hanging. How to reconcile this con-
ditior of affairs with the law of New
York state. which provides for electro
cution. was the subject of much con-
lecture. It developed during the dis
cussion that there was an old gallows
in the federal building and that Berk-
lein If convicted of murder might be
executed in the attic Of that building.
federal Judge Sheppard, however,
in his charge to the jury, lessened the
offense to manslaughter, and the jury
found a verdict in accordance with the
judicial instructions.

Russians More Aggressive.
On the other fronts the operations
are considered to be more favorable
for the allies. The Russians, taking
advantage of the removal of German
troops from other points on the front
to reinforce Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg for his drive at Riga, which
seems to have been checked. have been
delivering some fierce strokes at the
German center on tn Styr and in
Galicia- In all these they have had
at least initial successes.
Russians Capture 1900 OF Enemy.
The latest offensive by the Russians
was assumed north of Tarnapol, where
the carrying of Austro- German posi-
tions gave the Russian soldiers nearly
5000 prisoners, two howitzers and
number of machine guns. These pris-
oners added to those taken near Bar
anovichi the day before, make a total
of over II 900 Austrians and Germans
captured in two days
The Germans, on the other hand,
claim that their counter attacks, both
on the Styr and at Baranovichi, were
successful and, according to the Ber-
lin official communication, the Rus
slams made prisoners totalling upwards
OF four thousand. The Germans ad-
nit, however, the loss of six guns on
the Styr.
German Attacks Fail in France.
In the west another German attack,
according to French accounts, has been
nepulsed in Artois, while a contem-
plated attack in champagne was pre-

ITALIAN SHIP SIGHTED
AUXILIARY YAWL ECLIPSE.
o Which German Officers Escaped
Overturned 70 Miles Northwest OF
Bermuda.


Philadelphia, Oct 22.-what local
shipping men believe to be the aux
iliary yawl Eclipse, upon which six
of the German officers interned on
the Kronprinz Wilhelm at Norfolk are
said TO have made their escape was
sighted last Sunday about rs miles
northeast of Bermuda by the officers
and crew of the Italian steamship La
Dor. which arrived here today from
enoa. In report to the Hydro
graphic Office, Captain Monzali of the
Labor said that he had sighted an
overturned white vessel in latitude
1920 north and longitude G4.23 west,
which answered in every way the de-
scription of the Eclipse
The Italian ship passed the aban-
doned craft at a distance of about six
miles annd as no signs of life were
seen about her, Captain Monzalo pro-
ceeded to Norfolk. He had not heard
of the escape of the Germans and
did not make report at the Vir-
ginia port. The theory is advanced
in shipping circles here that the
Eclipse either was capsized and its
occupants drowned or else the Ger
man officers abandoned their boat
when they were picked up by a
friendly ship.
