Fictitious Army Orders.

FOR NOT RECEIVED
Nine Army Officers, Includ-
ing a General, Already
Are Arrested.

NTOCKHOLA1, Sweden. March 1S.-
- The Russian minister Of war has
started an investigation Of a huge
army scandal in which many high Of
ficers and civilian officials Of the COM
missary department are said to be
mixed up. Although the matter is sur
rounded with a great deal Of mystery.
enough has leaked through to create
a sensation. The Petrograd Reich"
among them a general. have been ar
rested, and many more. arrests are to
follow shortly.
Get Many Millions.
The arrested men are charged with
d~efrauding tine government out of many
millions Of roubles by ordering pay
ment for war materials which never
were delivered. One army contractor,
according to the Reich" received g.
100000 roubles for munitions, although
he never furnished a single shell. He
vas only allowed to keep 10 percent
of the large sum paid to him. however.
rest went to three high officers
and several well known leaders Of the
bureaucracy.
Woman Poses as Contractor.
In another case a certain notorious
woman Of Moscow posed as an army
contractor and received 100000 rOubles
for supplies that were never furnished.
When the scandal first leaked out
strenuous efforts were made to suppress
it. but certain radical deputies had got
wind Of it and the war minister found
himself compelled to investigate. so as
to ward off more drastic action by the
duma.

Germany Tries to Suppldnt
Paris Fashions With Those
OF Strictly German Kind

Berlin. Germany. March 1S.-Ger-
many has not given up her efforts to
become Independent OF Paris and
establish German fashions for German
ome A fashion week was recently
held at ~Frankfurst. 1t was not alto
gether a success, because Cologne and
Berlin refused to nave anything to do
with it, for the reason that they them
selves are to have fashion weeks
shortly.
The "~Frankfurter Zeitung" discusses
the display in grave and p~ortentous
terms and reads German women a les
son in what they should and should not
desire to wear. The journal thinks
the ground principles Of the new fash
ions are altogether wrong.
There has" it says, been a friend
ly inclination to do honor TO to our
Eastern Allies without taking prope
account Of the fact that such inclina-
ton leads to extravaganza I'm material
which is not suitable in wal time.
There is, indeed, plenty OF material, but
limitation in its use is urgently neces-
sary. No one can justify the extra
ordinary width Of the skirts. the heavy
pleats. the absurdly wide arms, which
demand so much material in direct
contradiction to the narrow, sleeve and
skirt Of the former fashion
THE F~rankfurter" also objects to the
MANY creations which, though in them
selves very pretty n amazing evil
of what Germany could accom-
plish in the matter Of wOmen's dress,
are vet too ornate n rich in color for
time.

Germany Trying To Get
Back Kaiser's Personal
Courier Who Is Deserter

London. Eng. March 1S.-Germany
is making desperate efforts to have the
Dutch government deliver into her
hands a deserter by the name Of Carl
Hausknecht under the pretext that he
is a forger and a theft.
What makes Hausknecht so partio-
ularly valuable among the many thous-
ands of German soldiers who have de-
serted into Holland the last few months
is he is in possession OF important
military secrets.
Carl Hausknecht was the personal
courier of the Kaiser and the Duke OF
Brunswick and has been present at a
number of highly important confidential
conversations.
Why did he desert? Because his COM
rades who were jealous OF the special
privileges he enjoyed wrongly accused
him Of an offense which would have
taken him before a court martial.
Jumping on his motorcycle and max
ing use of the papers which he carried
in his quality of courier he succeeded
in getting across the frontier.
So far he has steadfastly refused to
divulge any of the military secrets
which he holds The only thing he
has said is that it was the Kaiser
who personally signed the order to
lombard the cathedral of Rheims. that
he hesitated long before doing so and
only gave in to pleading OF the Crown
Prince.

The Tomsk correspondent Of the
liberal Russian paper Den" sends
a long account OF the sufferings OF the
Galician hostages who were deported to
Siberia by the Russian military author
tiles in the early stages Of the war.
The hostages, mostly Galician Jews,
were sent to the districts Narymsk,
ko%lpashowsk and Mo1tshanovsk of the
province Of Tomsk. They are herded
together in the villages Narym. Paradell,
hoipashoFo and MOltshanOvO. Only a few

zOOO unfOrtunates who are imprisoned
IN the o villages 80 percent never
wore a Uniform in their lives. They
SIMPLY were dragged away to the icy
SlDerlan wilderness to terrify their Co
I~TIIslonlsts and to punish them for
alleged espionage.
Their sufferings are shared by about

leaders, students and scientists. who
are accused OF revolutionary agitation.
10 Quarters in Zero Weather.
When the hostages arrived in the
province Of Tomsl1 there were no quar-
terS ready Tor them and they had TO
camp IN tents IN a temperature of 80
degrees below zero. Later miserable
barracks was erected. These socalled
houses are devoid Of every comfort
and sanitary Improvement. but the
prisoners now at least have a roof
over their heads.
All Of the deported hostages are con-

ner Allen, the official British press
observer with the French army,
gives the following interesting account
OF underground fighting as practiced
in the present war;
Night and day the enemy is bur
rowing and pushing forward his saps,
trying to gain a few yards Of ground
in the heavy clay soil, while the French
on their side try to bar his progress
with counter mines and camouflets Cor
mines used to destroy an enemy's gal
leries without breaking the surfaced
and in their turn tunnel further and
further towards the German lines
Tho soil is sodden, and to prevent it
from collapsing on the sapper. constant
snoring up is necessary. Every ear
must be vigilant for the slightest sound
of the enemy's approach; his purposes
must be divine and everything done so
silently as to give warning \ time
comes when the French and the Ger
man burrows are almost in Ontac
The lookout men listen for the smallest
sound Of tapping on the enemy's side.
Calculations are made as to the posi-
tion Of the enemy's sap. Then, with the
utmost precaution, a hole is nade with
a crowbar in the wall Of earth between
the two excavations

ION one occasion three sappers were
working silently, when suddenly one
OF them stopped with a warning word.
The earth sounded hollow under his
pickaNe. Very cautiously a number Of
little blows drove his pickaXe down
wards until the point passed into moth
ingness. There could be.nO doubt that
there was a German sap Immediately
underneath. With every p~recaution,
they widened the hole until it was
large enough for one OF them to pass
through, and a man. with revolver in
his hand, slipped down into the dark
ness below.
His inspection was brief The Ger
man mine was empty and ~unguarded.
The French soldier returned and re
ported 10 his captain, who at once called
up all the men he could spare to fill
the German tunnel with explosives,
The end Of the tunnel lay certainly in
the German trenches, and 1t was there
that the effect Of the explosion would

The word OF command was followed
by a vast explosion. The enemys
trench was torn to pieces. A few min
utes later the huge crater produced

of the f~iercest fighting takes place.
