KARLSRUHE MYSTERY
IS FINALLY SOLVED

London, Sept. captain Angst,
second officer in command of the Ger
man Karlsruhe. has published a book,
entitled War Adventures of the
Karlsruhe" stating that on Novem-
Der T. 1914. when the Karlsruhe was
lying in latitude 10.7 north, 55.25
west she was torpedoed by an in
visible craft The ship broke in two
and sank with her commander and
many of the crew.
The Karlsruhe was accompanied
by the steamers Indriani and Rio
of the crew. The Indr!anI reached
Norway and the Rio Negro arrived
in a German harbor later.
The above dispatch solves one Of
the most puzzling mysteries of the
sea brought about by the war. 1t
is the hrst definite news of the cruis-
ers destruction. Eluding the war
ships for four months the Karlsruhe
was second only to the famous Emden
in adventurous exploits sinking an
untold number OF French and British
merchl ntmen.
Within few weeks after she
steamed out of Mexican waters where
she was stationed when the war be
gan, she was known and feared the
world over, a terror of the sea Dur
ing her remarka bic career she was
reported off almost every American
port including New York
Late last year dispatches from Ger
man sources said wreckage from tn,
Karlsruhe had been found washed in
shore on the Scandinavian coast

Petersburg, Va, Sept. 5.--After
having invaded Mckenzie Street Ball
Park through a hole in the fence
when admission was denied him at
the gate, and after having forfeited
to Newport News today's game with
Petersburg, Umpire Buckley was ar

Hce headquarters where he was adj
mitted to bail in the sum of 800 for
appearance in Police Court tomorrow
morning DR.. John B. Halligan and
Councilman l. A. Andrews are bonds
men.
The trouble which eliminated in
the arrest of the umpire grew out OF
his appearance here to umpire this
series with Newport News after he
had already umpired six out of the
last seven preceding games in a most
unsatisfactory manner and after
President Bradley of the Virginia
League had been requested to pro-
vide another arbiter.. When Buckley
came for the games of this series he
proved even more unsatisfactory than
at any previous time and in the after
noon game of Labor Day it is alleged
that he practically gave to the Ship
builders their first two runs.
Games Protested.
The Petersburg management pro-
tested the games OF this series should
Buckley umpire them. Then he
boasted. 1t is alleged. that before tho
series was over he would show up
the Petersburg club, its managers and
owners The Petersburg club gave
notice that Mr.. Buckley would not
be permitted to enter the ball park.

Several OF the committeeman ia
vored the selection of Revercomb, who
opposed Congressman Flood two years

Inasmuch as Angel was nominated
by the Republicans OF the Sixth Dis
trict to oppose Congressman Carter
Glass, and announced once that he
would not make any campaign, many
of the committeeman doubted the
wisdom of naming him to oppose
Swanson. A man that would not

argued. could scarcely be expected to
undertake q campaign over all the

GERMANY PREPARES TO
RETALIATE AGAINST GREECE

London. Sept. 5.-That Germany is
preparing to take action against
Greece as a result of that country's
submission to the demands of the err
tente. which include the expulsion Of
all Teutonic agents from the countr.s.
is indicated in dispatches from Ana-
sterdam.
The fact that Greece has allowed
forces from allied battleships to hunt
down Germans and Austrians in the
streets of Athens is considered an
utter violation of neutrality, and it
is reported that an ultimatum is in
process of preparation at Berlin.
Parliamentary leaders have been cali
ed into conference by the imperial
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg, and early action is expected.
Meanwhile, owing to the unfavor-
able impression created in the pub
lie mind at Athens by the sight of
foreign landing parties making ar
rests of the subjects OF neutral coun-
tries. the French and British minis
tiers are reported to have agreed 10
allow the Greek police to make what
arrests remain to be made. SO great
was the popular hostility to the ac-
ton OF the allies that street battles
are reported TO have occurred IL
Athens and several persons have been
wounded.
AS result Premier Zaimis mad3
strong representations to the French
and British ministers, with the result.
according to news agency dispatch
from the Greek capital. that tho
diplomats agreed to allow Greece her.
self to make any further arrests.
Greece is making quiet preparations
to enter the war at an early date ac-s
cording to Athens dispatches.
A Central News dispatch asserts
that allied agents have found many
letters from German spies In the
Greek mails which. together with tbs
telegraph lines. they are already
supervising and censoring as a result
of the Greek governments submissions
to their demands.
