at the Delaware river ferry Of the

sives In interstate passenger traffic.
An Investigation is bs,ng made TO

sickness. Journalists who accom-

that, a disagreement had occurred.
Mr.. Ford spoke very cautiously on
the manner in which he planned to
proceed. He said the British officials
and citizens at Kirkwall were very
gracious but that none of the party was
permitted to land there and that there
was no official reception. Mr.. Ford
left the impression that at Kirkwall

OF conspiring to blow up the Welland
canal, federal officials asserted they
had in their hands the clues to a
countrywide conspiracy to blow up
munition plants. which has already
resulted in the loss of many lives and
destruction of millions OF dollars
worth Of property.
For several years Koenig has been
the head OF detective force employed
here by the Hamburg-American

The arrest of Koenig and Leyen-

AndSome Observers Are Ready
to Predict That They Will
Be So during Holidays.

LONDON, Dec. 18.-9:3 35 p. m.-The
week end finds the war situation in the
East and West bearing the outward ap-
pearance of comparative quiet, and
some observers are ready to predict
that operations will virtually remain
at standstill until after the holidays.
Nevertheless. there Is no lack Of food
for speculation. particularly on the
eastern front, which now virtually
stretches across two continents from
North Russia to South Persia. In the
extreme north there have been un-
official reports that the promised new
German thrust between Riga and
Dvinsk has already begun but neither
Berlin nor Petrograd confirms this in
the official communication.
Germans Are Checked.
Five hundred miles further south the
Russians believe they have checked
another enemy attempt to resume the
offensive in Galicia.
In the Balkan zone the first chapter
Is closed but with more than 100000
men Of dozen different nations under
arms, 1t is not unlikely that the cam
paign will long maintain a state Of
quiet. On the fringes Of the Balkans
there is promise Of new annoyances
for the Bulgarians and Germans in
the Italian operations through Albania
|. and the Russian concentration in Bes-
arabia. Meanwhile In the so-called
middle East Grand Duke Nicholas's
advance to Hamadan brings strong
Russian forces TO within about 200
miles of Bagdad and It is believed
in the Entente capitals that this oper-
ntions will put new life and new i'm
portance into the British operations
in South Persia after the recent set
back.
