The trail of the women of the un- der world furnished a considerable at traction to many and Commissioner Frawleys court room was filled to capacity when the case was called at ten this morning. Quite number of witnesses were examined including the arrestins officers. The women were tried altogether on the one charge of keeping bawdy house. At the conclusion of the hearing Attor- ney 0. D. Cochran for the defense argued that the government had not sustained its contention as to the na- ture of the restricted area and con- tended that it was not proven in law that the action of the women in re- turning to the alley meant that they were there engaged in prostitution. Judge Ffawlcy sustained the conten- ton of the district attorney, however. and held the women, with the excep- lion Of one Helen Olson, who intends to leave on the next boat and has pur- chased passage, to the action of the grand jury. The bonds of two hun dred and fifty dollars were re- tained. It is probable that Attorney Cochran will at once institute habeas corpus proceedings and some lively developments are to be expetced

 OF CONSULS SHOWN

 tente Troops Landing

Paris, January 11-Numerous ex- tracts from documents seized at Sa- loniki when the consuls of the Teu- tonic allies were arrested there re- gently, were printed in this mornings newspapers. Among the papers, ac- cording to the published statements, were copies of daily reports tele- graphed to Vienna by the Austrian consul general, giving the numbers and description of entente troops that were landing at Saloniki reports of spies on the movements of entente forces in the interior and records of payments of these spies and to local newspapers.
 The system of espionage, the &C., counts state, also was extended to Greece, and among the published papers there are what purport to be copies of reports made by agents at Greek military camps and by port sfllnctio onaries, A geed friend of Ger many and can be trusted" is sen tence printed as being taken from one of the reports made regarding a cer- tain prefect, while certain officer is classed as .doubtful."

 MENACE PUBLISHERS
Editors of Anti Catholic Weelar Are Charged With Sending Obscene
 Matter Through Mails

Joplin, Mo, January u-Technical matters relating to the issuing and cir culating of newspaper were gone into at length on the first day of the trial in federal court here of the Men ace Publishing company, of Aurora. Mo, and four men alleged to have been connected with it. The defend- ants are charged with sending obscene printed matter through the mails.
 John H. Mathes, postma ster of Auro- ra, Mo, the only witness examined to- day, testified as to details of the mail- ing of various issues of the Menace, a weekly newspaper, in which the gov ernment charges were printed and cir culated articles of an indecent char acter.
 In making his opening statement to the jury. Francis M. Wilson, United States district attorney, read from the indictment in which the defendants are charged under seven counts. Numer- ous passages which he read contained reference to the clergy of the Roman Catholic church.
 In opening the case for the defense J. I. Sheppard declared that it was unfair to judge of the alleged pubIi- cations as presented in the indictment and told the jurors that reading of the entire articles from which the passages were said to be taken would show the charges of the government to be groundless.

ENTIRE BRIGADE FOR
 CHICKAMAUGA CAMP
 CHATTANOOGA HEARS
Regiment of Cavalry, One of Infantry, an Artillery Battery and Battalion of Engineers for Citizens ln-
 struction Camp This Summer

Chattanooga, January u.-(Special) According to private advices received here from reliable sources. an entire brigade of regular United States troops will be stationed at Chickamauga Park during the time that the citizens training camp is in existence at the famous battle field during the coming summer. The brigade will consist of the Eleventh cavalry, which is already stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, in Chickamauga Park, a regiment of in- fantry, and battery of field artillery from Fort Meyer, and a battalion of engineers from Washington.
 The idea of the war department in stationing a full brigade at Chicka- mauga during the citizens maneuvers is to allow the opportunity for training in any of the four main divisions of the army--the cavalry, infantry, artil- lery, or engineering.
 Plans are being rapidly formulated here for the camp which it is generally believed will prove far more successful than the one stationed at Plattsburg, N. Y, last summer. Among those who have signified their intention of taking the course at Chickamauga are some of the most prominent business and social men in Chattanooga, Nash- vile, Atlanta, Birmingham, and other southern cities.

KITCHENER REVEALS UNWRITTEN HISTORY
 ON VISIT TO ATHENS
Tells of Capture or Sinking of Six Big German Submarines Which Were Attempting to Get to
 the British Fleet

Athens, December 26.-Corre- spondence of the Associated Press) Field Marshal Earl Kitchener left very vivid impression on the Athenian population and especially on Constantine I. King of the Greeks. Speaking of the British war minister's visit, the Greek monarch said to the Associated Press correspondent:
 q am soldier. Kitchener is a soldier. We speak the same Ian guage and we understood one an- other perfectly from the outset"
 One story which Lord Kitchener told in Athens made particu- larly deep impression. No public account of the incident had ever been given.
 When the maneuvers of the great fleet were held about a month ago north of Scotland" said Lord Kitchener. eight Ger man submarines of the newest and strongest type went out with the purpose of getting to the fleet and playing havoc with the maneuvers One came to brief in our North sea net. The others nosed through and approached the fleet. But there another net headed them off They tried to break through to get around, to find an opening. But there was none. Two more were lost in this effort. Finally the re- mainder decided to return to their base at Helgoland.
 But they could no longer find the way out The gate in the net had been closed. Two were lost desperately trying to get through. The renaining three finally were forced to come to the surface and surrender themselves. We took them intact-crews. submarines and all"

EMPHASIZES LACK OF
 DOCKING FACILITIES
Admiral Stanford Would Build Great Dry Dock at New Orleans
 or Mobile

Washington, January 11.-Construc- tion of a great naval dry dock at New Orleans or Mobile was suggested to the House naval committee today by Rear Admiral Stanford, chief of yards and docks. The admiral, emphasizing the lack of docking facilities in a statement explaining the yards and docks section of the annual naval appropriation bill. declared that there was no naval dock in the continental United States large enough to accom- modate the giant battle cruisers con- templated in the pending building pro- gramme.
 Only the basin at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, could handle such vessel as the proposed cruisers, the admiral said. Those at New York, Norfolk and Puget Sound, he explained, were too short.
 Admiral Stanford told the committee that a floating dock would be better suited to New Orleans than a graving dock because of the great variation in the river level, and he added that New . Orleans was superior in some respects to other points. He said that the navy would have a natural defense there because of the long distance from the sea and the fact that the 200-foot channel could be mined from the city to the gulf waters.
