WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Disclo-
sures of alleged activities Of Ger
man agents In the United States con-
tanned in the papers seized by the
British from Captain Won Papen. the
former German military attache
here, while they have commanded
intense interest, have brought no
Indication Of official notice. The
general view is that the United
States government closed the Incl
dent when 1t called for the with
drawal Of Captain Won Papen and
his colleague Captain Boy-ed, the
naval attache. Is
Much Of the correspondence ca

most officials as being little more

touching almost every alleged war

clals express surprise at suggestions
that Won Papen or Boyd were un-

AHEAD
NOW SEEN BY
HUDSON MAXIM
Who In an Address Makes an
Appeal for Larger Army
and Navy.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. IS
Danger of foreign aggression will
confront the United States after the
European war is over, no matter
which side wins, Hudson Maxim,
member Of the naval advisory board,
declared in an address before the
chamber Of commerce here tonight.
He made an appeal for larger army
and navy, declaring that any of the
great foreign nations now at war
would "have available several mill
ion war-tried veterans for trial at
arms with u.s."
when the great war is over, which
ever side wins, there will be sure to
arise between the winners and our
selves serious complications to be adj
justed," Mr.. Maxim said. Either
Germany or England would have a
navy far superior to our own, and,
consequently, could not successfully
be opposed by our navy. Our enemy
would be able to land upon our very
shores at least quarter million men
inside Of month. and after that con-
tinually bring reinforcements at the
rate OF 100000 a month. II they
should they happen to be required.
Our little, poorly-equipped army
would not be able to offer resistance
enough to make ripple In the line Of
the enemy's advance. Our army would
be Just about one good days kill
ing" -e
II the enemy landed at either New
York or Boston, the speaker said.
they would be able In two weeks to
capture the area in which the great
arsenals. navy yards and munition
factories Of the country are situated.
Continuing, he said: Our army and
navy men propose. and the way that
every American who has made SCI
entiflc study Of the subject Of national
defense proposes, is adequately to
prepare ourselves with navy. big
enough and powerful enough success
fully to stand against any other navy
In the world. and an army bigenough
and provided with guns and ammuni-
ton enough to save the country from
the horror Of defeat.
Adequate preparation made in
time Of peace not only Ensures the
safety Of the country II war should
come. but also 1t equally insures
against the coming OF war. History
has taught no surer lesson than that
wealth and defenseless form an
ntlcement posted on the wall Of
every home for, an avaricious enem,
to break and enter"

CAN THE JEW
LEARN FARMING
News Comes From Far Away Russia
That They Are to Be Given
the Opportunity.
(Correspondence Of Associatea press.l

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
Brest-Litovsk, Russia, April 81.
For almost the first time in history
the Jews OF this district have an OPP
portunity to show whether or not
they can become agriculturalists.
When the Russians evacuated this
city and set 1t on fire they took with
them many thousands Of the Jewish
population. Great numbers died, 9th
ers kept on ahead of the retreating
Russians, and still others hid in the
woods and then, penniless and hungry,
streamed back into Brest.Litovsk
again.
For a time the Germans attempted
to house them In the ruined city. But
they have all now been sent out to
abandoned farms, where their work Is
regularly inspected by German OF
ficials. Every possible assistance is
given them in the hope that they may
raise good crops and do their share
toward helping out the need In Po'
land. The land in this section is fer
tile, and with proper cultivation and
care should bear a big crop.
The city of Brest-Litovsk itself still
remains the next thing to a city, OF
the dead. Five.sixths or Whereabouts
of its houses are nothing but gaping
walls within which stand only the re-
mains of the remarkable Russian
stoves which stand even after chin
neys crumble and fall.
The Germans stationed in Bresi
have done wonders In cleaning up the
city. Each ruined house has beer
thoroughly gone over. The debris has
been removed or neatly piled up, and
each object not utterly destroyed by
fire and which is still disable In one
way or another has been rescued.
The forts, which the Russians blew
up with dynamite and which were
valued at three hundred million francs
approximately s60,OO0,000). are still
heaps OF cement and stone. broker
and crumbling. There is no activit,
discernible that would indicate tina
the Germans are attempting to restore
the Notifications for their own pur
poses.

Verdun, France. April 27.-The
mayor OF Verdun spent the early days
of the bombardment In the cellars Of
the town hall, where he conducted Of
fetal business as usual, undeterred
by the roar Of heavy guns and the
noise Of falling masonry. The mayor
was assisted by seven OF the munic-
ipal officials, and the chief customs
agent did the cooking for the party.
The mayors favorite story Of those
trying days is an incident Of would
be bridegroom and his wedding feast.
1T was on February 26, says the
mayor, that railway worker who

came to us In the town hall cellar
while the bombardment was proceed
ing at its highest pitch.

PARIS ROWS OVER
MEMS CLOTHES
Press characterlzes az "Jndeslrable'
the New Styles While Talfors
Contend for Them.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
Paris. April 27.-The Partisan press
has characterized as undesirable"
new styles in mems clothing that have
recently appeared, and which, with
the sanction OF the Master Tailors'
Association of Paris, threatened to be-
come common.
"The new garment is imposed by
the new epoch about to open" say the
master tailors. Something easy and
graceful, and yet sober and elegant
as are all things French, but bearing
the stamp Of the epoch Of virility that
is coming" To fill that need the tall
ors have revived the old frock coat
Of 1880, tight at the waist with full
plated skirts and wide long lapels
with conspicuous points; overcoats to
be made of the same lines. In this
garment as prescribed by the Partisan
tailors, a man appears to be wearing
corset and from distance might
be COMPOUNDED with ballet dancer,
yet the tailors say that 1t was only
after mature reflection and conclusive
trials that the Commission Of styles
found this garment most likely to
harmonize with the new epoch. They
explained that the costume must be
completed by harmonious accessories,
one of which Is hat with broad
rolling brim and we'll arched on the
side, still further recalling the ro-
mantle style Of the days Of Alfred de
Musset.
There Is considerable resistance to
this new movement on the part OF
those who contend that when the sail
ors come back they should not find
the civilians they left at home covered
with ridicule.
The master tailors stand their
ground. however, and declare that the
day is past for the stiff English
styles. The women are said to be
pleased. the men mostly timid or dis
trustful. Critics of the style have de
liyered severe blow by giving promi
nence to the fact that the romantic
style of 1880 can be worn with grace
only by slight figures with slantinI
shoulders, long necks, straight car
rage and well shaped legs, for with
the frock OF 1880 the trousers mus
be very tight but not yet strapped
under the feet. The hair must b'
wor. long and parted on the side, Civ
ing a further resemblance OF Alfred
de Musset. Full boards will come int
fashion with this style, 1t is said. anC
will be either trimmed to a point, Gu
square. or frizzed and spread advan
tageously over the expansive shir
front which the new style provides
Where the beard is not so long as 4
hide II, the cravat will be worn In TIL
shape OF a butterfly knot, and VIII b
made OF satin. The accessories pro
yided for this new style extend eveI
into an ivory.headed cane.
