1t is fully expected here that the ad-

make a vigorous verbal deliverance to
Germany. But that has been done be-

Mr.. Cummins' Views.
Senator Cummins is quoted In cables
from Honolulu as expressing the BELIEF
a special session of congress would
probably be called, not to declare war,
but to consider merchant marine ia
%Cilities for carriage Of American pas
sengers and goods. While the presi-
dent has given no indication OF such a
purpose it Is felt by many that IL the
German submarine attacks on allied
ships and the ~jeopardizing OF American
lives continue this government is like
ly to be driven to purchase a merchant
fleet Of it's own. In other words, 1t Is
recognized that the present lnterna =

States to provide for government own

Washington, May 1O.-Consul Frost
cabled the state department that the

Bodies of American dead, he said,
where Immediate embalming was not
necessary, would be photographed and

SOURCE IF BAD COIN FLOOD |S
 AT LAST FOUND
Secret Service Agents Say Arrest of Former Oak land Policemen Solves the Mystery They've Worked on for Three Years
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 15.-The source of the flood of spurious five dollar gold pieces variously estimated as representing between $25.00O and S500.0 900, circulated throughout the United States. especially on the Pac- fife coast. for three years. has been located, government agents said, in the arrest of two former oakland policemen. Rollie York and Edward karr. Both prisoners were due here tonight in the custody of United States marShals-York from Column bus. Ofio, and Karr from Ogden-to answer to secret federal indictments returned several weeks ago.
 The operations of York and Karr, it is asserted. comprise the most gi- cantic counterfeitine venture ever con- ironted by the secret service. whose agents tIailed them across the coun- try to canada. and back. IL is said the coUnterfeiters netted a profit of S2.50 on each coin.
 The five dollar short weight gold coin was made and passed principal iy in Los Angeles. san Francisco and Seattle and is considered the best counterfeit with which the secret service agents have been bothered for many years.
 Nearly three years ago when the coins were first forced into circula- ,tion. Pacific coast secret agents found themselves helpless to discover the source and operatives were sent from the east to track down the cOunterfeiters. Since then scores of agents nave kept close scrutiny on dentists, jewellers and other handlers of gold to discover if possible the counterfeiters' source of supply. The workings of the trap that finally ensnared the men las not been ex- plained.
 The last seen of York and Karr was in Stockton about three months ago where, it is asserted, they were arrested and later freed when a wary cafe bartender refused a. spurious coin A sack of coins was found later ir a water tank in the Tas1 room of the cafe.
 For three years business men have been haunted bv a fear of counter felt money. which is difficult to de- tect. Seldom vas a five dollar gold piece dropped softly into the cash register Forty were found in Los in single department store here ill one day.
 Secret service operators said there is no method of computing the total number of coins now in circulation. They have been spread throughout the United States, particularly on the

1! GERMANS ARE ON DEFENSIVE
Except at Dvinsk. Which They Were Ordered to Capture at Any Cost. Teu- tons. Petrograd Says, Are on the Defensive
IAssocIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

LONDON, Oct. 16.--Ruma nia has joined Greece in declining to enlarge thc conflagration in the near east by declaring its intention to obser'e a strict neutrality. This announce ment followed the official German in timatiuns that il was time tha Rumania give q definite indication of it's stand. in view of the latest development in the Balkans. A Ger man source reports that the British and French ministers are leaving Athens but il is discredited here.
 Reports from Petrograd say that the Germans appear to be on the defensive all along the entire line, except at Dvinsk, which it is said they have been ordered to capture at any cost. Berlin reports that the Russian attacks at Dvinsk and other places had been repulsed with lso- lated bomb attacks with varying for tunes in the west Italy is unof- ficially reported to be on the verge of joining the allies in the Balkan campaign The Bulgarians are said to have forced the frontier ridges at several points in Strumika and Ne gotin.
 The Russian attacks were all com prised within the army group undc" Field Marshal won Hindenberg. whic'i is being taken to mean that the Rus sians have assumed something of the nature of a general offensive front of which Dvinsk is the vital point.
 The French and British are still landing troops at Saloniki for the army which will be under the com mand of General Zarrail. former com mander-in -chief of the French army in the Orient.
 The Germans announce that the Germans are making headway against the Serbians. whose positions south of Semendria have been stormed.
 That Bulgaria does not anticipate hostile action from the Greeks is in dicated in a Bucharest dispatch stat ing that Greece has purchased large amount of wheat from Ru- mania which will be permitted pass age through Bulgarian territory.

ABOUT FORTY
 ARE INJURED
Most of the Dead Are Be licved to Have Been Drowned-Evidence That Several Killed When Train Struck Abutment
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPiTCH1

RANDOLPH, Kas.. oct. 16.-Ten bodies have been recovered from the half submerged car of Union Pa cific motor train. which went through a bridge near here. It is estimated the casualties will reach sixteen with forty injured.
 There were sixty-five passengers, four of whom were unhurt
 The car plunged into Fancy creek. IL was buried deep in the mud and water Most of the dead are be- lieved to have drowned. There is evidence that several were killed outright when the train struck an abutment. weakened by a three inch rain The train was crowded with teachers on their way to a county teachers convention. Five of the dead are women.
 The confusion was terrifying when the train. passengers and baggage car struck the bridge and plunged downward into the swollen creek. Those who did not hold on or were not caught were hurled down with the tipping car into the flowing water The task of rescuing the victims was extremely difficult. The rear car was high in the air and the front was buried in the mud. It was necessary for the survivors to crawl up the sides. Clinging to the window lodges and seats. on to the end of the shattered abuttment.
 Many of the iniuded were uncon- scious from loss of blood and shock by the time the periIous route had been covered.
 Relief trains from Manhattan and MarysvilIe gave the injured medical attention. The uncovered passen- gers are believed to be in the for ward section of the car. which is buried in mud and water. There were many deeds of heroism on the part of the passengers.
 What occurred at the forward end of the passenger car used as a smoking compartment. will probably never be known. as no one who was in that section has been discovered among the survivors. The smoking compartment was submerged almost immediately after the abuttment gave way and those in it had little or no chance to escape The impact of the wreck shattered the windows of the forward part of the car and a flood of water poured over the con fined passengers.
 J. H. Sawtell, principal of the Manhattan high school. although badly injured. refused to leave the car until every person who showed signs of life had been removed. When he recovered from the first shock which precipitated him through the window, he seized an iron bar and clamberine over the tilted seats broke out the glass of the windows and helped many women to crawl through.
 Of the two score injured in the wreck, several are said by physi- clans to be in a grave condition to- night. The majority of the injured were cut by flying glass. Many have broken limbs.
