WH|TLOCk DID NOT
CRITICIZE BRITAIN
Print Cavell Report. But It's Pub
Iicataum Was Not Anticipated.

Washington. Nov. SECRETARY Of
State Lansing today stated that moth
ing was continued in Minister Whit

public the report OF the case ~
Minister Whitlock furnished the Brit
tsh authorities
From published reports regarding
the ministers communication to the
State Department of his efforts to
obtain clemency for the British nurse
executed by the Germans. an impress
sion was created in some quarters
that the action of the British in max
Ing public the Whitlock dispatch was
resented. 1t was explained today that
there was no such criticism of the
British, as II was recognized that the
report from the legation In Brussels
was for their beneft and became their
property after 1t was furnished to
them.
It Is believed here. however. that
Mr. whitlock did not anticipate. when
sending his report to London, that II
would be made public by the British
government Naturally the German
officers whose names were mentioned
in this report were incensed at its
publication, and Mr.. Whitlock's posi-
ton with reference to them was diff
cult for a time.
State Department ofiicials today re-
iterated the statement OF yesterday
that Mr.. Whitlock's coming return to
the United States Is not at all result
OF the Cavell case. but Is due to the
fact that he has been Ill for two
months. suffering from a complete
nervous breakdown.

The McGuire's team put up a great
game. and undoubtedly displayed the
best form OF the season. In justice
to the Benedictine boys, however, it
must be said that they had q patched

qualified by the faculty, and during
the major portion Of the contest they
had only three men in the backfield.
There were only twelve men out in
uniform. and two of those were hurt,
leaving only ten in the game. Hefiin

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 4.-Prince-
toms last secret signal practice be-
fore the Harvard game Saturday was
interrupted by cold. drizzling rain,
which necessitated shift of scene

While the squad was out in the
open. signal practice and drill in for
nations. together with some kicking,
occupied the attention OF the squad.
In the baseball cage the scrubs were
given some alleged Harvard plays and
used them in a dummy scrimmage
against the varsity. The regulars
were instructed as to what man to
take care OF and how to meet the
ofYense.
AS there was no scrimmage, no
comparison can be made with the
teams showing yesterday.

Federal authorities in their inquiry
will consider. or will look for. the
men who may be back of the different
bomb plots. which are said to have as
their motive a scheme to impair the
effectiveness of the allies-all crimes
against the neutrality of this country
regardless of their violation of State
statutes.
Investigate Sugar Ship Fire.
One OF the various cases now under
investigation is the fire on the Euterpe,
a British ship. carrying sugar in the
Erie Basin on Wednesday night. Cap.
tain Thomas Tunney, head OF the
bomb squad OF the police department,
said today that the fire had the same
origin as the fires discovered recently
on q number OF sugar ships sailing
from this port to England and France.
He made 1t clear that George Van
Horn. or Guysburtus Nerkayck. arrest
ed in West New York on Tuesday. Is
wanted IN this country as the ring
leader of the fire bomb outrages.
But the striking statement made by
Cartain Tunney is that there was
general plot among the thieves to
make 100000 out OF the sale of the
stolen sugar at reduced rates. 1t has
been learned that the men who dis
posed OF the sugar, got their rake OF
but the question has arisen as to who
the arch conspirator was. whether
there was not somebody higher up
than Verkayek. and whether that sum
of 500 0oo was not to go to a gen.
eral fund and the money to be used In
furrhering other secret activities In
the interest Of the German war party.
Inveatigntins Use of Mig Funds.
The Federal authorities are investi-
eating the uses TO which the $4,000
200 or more, obtained from the sale OF
German war bonds, is being put In this
country. 1t is said that none of the
money ever was sent to Germany,
though friends of the German govern
ment insist that the funds were trans

The first was 10 establish a sub
marine base for German L boats In
Mexico or In the West Indies.
The second was to buy number Of
ships in the name of Gernan-A meri-
cans and use them neutral boats
for carrying supplies to Scandinavia
with the aim of transhipping them to
Germany.
The third was to buy up large
amounts of chemicals and acids used
in the manufacture of high explosives.
The authorities have been trailing
the disposition of certain amounts of
that fund. 1t was said today by a
Federal official that the movements in
the funds of German in this country
were being closely watched. but IL re-
mains an open question yet as to
whether any Of that money ever

GORMLEY EXPECTS
TO Be RE|NSIATEO

Washington D. c. Nov. 4.-Tom
Gormley. the big tackle Of the George
town University football team. who
was accused of biting McEwan, the
center on the Army team, in the game
played at West Point on Saturday, Oc-
tober23. and who has been barred by
the athletic association at the Hilltop
University pending an investigation,
stands a good chance of being REIN
stated.
An appe alto the Army officials, ask
ing them to furnish McEwans state
ment. brings to light a big hitch in the
proceedings at WsstA Point during this
game as McEwan claims that Gormiey
pulled the biting act when he CORN
ley) was carrying the ball, and evil
dence has been furnished the authori-
ties at Georgetown by the members
of the Hilltop team that Gormley only
ran with the ball once. and on this
occasion McEwan was completely
blocked out OF the play by Nahum and
Fitzgerald.
In digging up the evidence in this
case the authorities at Georgetown have
gone into details. and II no more evil
dence can be furnished against CORN
ley than what the officials at the Hill
have at present it is an assured fact
that he will be reinstated
So far as direct proof has been
forthcoming. and from the testimony of
Gormiey's teammates and the central
board officials who handle the game
everything is In favor of the big tackle.
Gormley made the following state
ment in reference to the case:
Il have been wrongly accused in this
deal. and my teammates are with me
In trying to exonerate myself with
the football public Because of bear
ing reputation Of roughing 1t I have
been the victim of this case, as the
evidence will show when ii is made
public.
The officials in the game have fur
nished the Georgetown authorities with
evidence which will help me, as
was put out of the contest for topping
and not biting, / am confident that
this matter will be cleared up to the
satisfaction of the central board, and
the truth will be known some time"
