Won KLUcK RETIRED
German Field Marshal Steps Down
and Out at His Own Request.

Berlin, Oct. 20.-Field Marshall
Alexander II. X. Won Kluck. who COM
manded the right wing of the German
army in its sweep toward Paris in the
fall OF 1914, has been placed on the
retired list at his own request, says
dispatch from Berlin. He had never
returned to the front since he was
wounded by shTapnel fire in March,
1915. while inspecting advanced posi-
tions. The field marshal was 70 years
old last May.
Field Marshal Won Kluck and his
army took an important part in the
German advance toward Paris in Sep
tember, 1914. His advance halted
about 30 miles from the French capt.
tai, and his force, with the rest OF the
German army was checked and driven
back in the battle of the Marne. Field
Marshal Won Kluck was born in Muen-
ster, Ger, May 20 1886. and entered
the German army as a I'd lieutenant in
1865. At the outbreak of the war he
was in command of the army corps at
Koenigsberg. He fought in the war
with Austria in 1866 and in the
French-Prussian war in 1870.
He is said to have received his
wound in March, 1915, by recklessly
exposing himself after a stormy in
tervisw with Emperor William. Last
August it was reported he was soon to
take a command on the eastern front
His son. Lieut. Egon Won Kluck, was
reported killed at Middleberke, early
in 1915.

BREMEN is LOST
Submarine a Month Overdue is Given

Washington, Oct. 19.-Loss of the
German submarine merchantmen Bre-
men was conceded today by ranking
Teutonic diplomats in position to be
familiar with the movements of the
vessel. The Bremen is now one month
overdue. She was commanded by
Catp. Schwarzkopf and carried crew
of approximately twenty-five men.
1t was admitted that German Off
cials, not only in this country but in
Berlin were without definite informa-
tion as to the fate of the Bremen. All
they know is that she set out for
America from Bremerhaven and that
she should have arrived at an Ameri-
can port soon after the middle of last
month.
Disappearance of the Bremen will
not cause abandonment of the project
to send marchant submarines regular
1y from Germany to the United States,
it was said. There appeared to be
reason to expect that another subsea
freighter, either the Deutchland or an
within the next month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands of the British un-
less she had some accident to her ma
chinery. They pointed out that, un-
like naval submarines, merchant sub
marines avoid all localities frequent
by shipping and therefore not open to
the same risks.
One official said it was considered
most likely the Bremen had met the
fate of number of naval submarines
which had sailed from port never to
be heard from again.
Another argument advanced in sup
port of the belief that the Bremen had
met with an accident rather than cap
ture was that she had aboard num-
ber of important documents for the
German Embassy here, which proba-
bly, would have been made public had
they fallen into the hands of the Brit
ish.

SHARE HETTY GREEN WEALTH
Putney Man Heir TO Portion of Big
Estate

Estate.
Rev. NJ w. Russell of Putney. for
merly pastor at Belmont and Cuttings
Vile, is one of the heirs to the trust
fund which was released by the death
of Mrs. Hetty Green. The amount OF
the fund is exactly $1,635, $3.50 and
is to be distributed among $40 heirs.
Mrs Green received the interest on
the amount according to the will of
her aunt Sylvia Ann Rowland, and at
her death to be distributed among the
heirs OF her grandfather. For over
S5 years Mr. Russell has assisted the
genealogist in gathering data concern
ing his family. which has been traced
to the landing OF John Rowland in
1920. in the Mayflower, his great
great-grandmother being the daughter
of Gideon Howland Of New Bedford,
Mass.
One OF the trustees writing TO Mr.
Russell says the distribution win soon
begin and will be settled without any
great lapse OF time The amount each
heir will receive is difficult to esti-
mate as the law requires the distribu-
ton TO begin with the oldest descend
ants.
When asked by friend il his share
would be something like $2S,000, Mr..
Russell replied: 81 am not at liberty
to say He is in the line of the first
descendants and will rbe among the
first in sharing.
Rev. Mr., Russell is a Congregation
alist, but has no pastorate. II moved
to Putney not long ago and bought a
house on the Westminster West road.

To the north and east of Sally

yanced their line in the past few days
at what the Berlin war Office asserts
was cost in casualties not com
mensurate with the gain, the Germans
nave made violent counter-attacks,
which were repulsed by the French.
Berlin admits that in their attacks
on the Sars-MOrval front The British
captured German positions, but says
these later were retaken. Heavy rains
fell yesterday on the British front,
and except for a slight gain at Butte
de Warlencourt and the repulse OF a
German counter-attack there, compar-
alive quiet prevailed with the. British
AS yet no decisive result has been
achieved by either the Austro-Germans
or the Russians in the violent fighting
that has been going on for several
days in Volhynia and Galicia. The
Petrograd war office says that near
Kiselin and Sviniusky in Volhynia

Generally speaking, there is no

bringing up reinforcements and large
number of trench mortars.
Except on Mt. Pasubio, in the
