That assertion was made in connec- ton with the filing of 139 indictments in the United States court here today for violations of American neutrality. Two separate sets of indictments were returned--9s bearing on a worldwide plot to foment revolution in India and Al on the so-called steamship Sacra- mento case in which it is charged an effort was made to provision German warships at sea.
 HINDU PLOT CASE
 The so-ca1led Hindu revolution plot was summarized in a statement by Preston in which he says:
 "one hundred and five men are in- volved. Ninety-eight have been in- dicted and seven named as conspira- tors About half of this number are at present without the Jurisdiction of the United States.
 For more than g. year prior to the outbreak of the European war certain Hindus in San Francisco and German agents were preparing openly for war with England. At the outbreak of the war Hindu leaders. members of the German consulate nere ana attacheS of the German government began to form plans to carry out a conspiracy to invite revolution in India for the twofold purpose of attempting to free India and aid the Germans in their military operations.
 HINDUS REGISTERED
 'Hindus on the Pacific coast were canvassed and those willing to take part in the revolution were registered. Enissaries were financed by the Ger man agents here and immediately dis patched to Germany. Shortly there after what is known as the India conn mittee, an adjunct of the German for eign office, was created in Berlin Among them was liar Dayal a fu- gitive from the United States in 1914. This India committee had the per sonal attention of Foreign Secretary Zimmerman.
 Thereafter the operations of the plotters in the United States were di- rected from Berlin and the finances were sent from the same source. The conspiracy took the form of various military enterprises. Arms and ammu-

 PROTESTS IN AUDIENCE
 The meeting was well under way when fresh tumult was caused by A. Reutovfch, representing the Russian workers in the United States, when he declared the only way Ito make the world safe for democracy was to carry the war to victorious end.
 It was evident there were many pa. cifists in the throng. for this battle cry brought storm of ieers which steadily increased in volume. The sit uation was saved By delegation of Russian sailors who leaped to their feet and wildly applauded Reutovsch's sentiments. Detectives elected four persons were were especially hols- terous

 Tt is true that Hindus here desire to see India free from British rule" said Ram Chandra, one of the indicted Hindus, tonight.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23-0ne-third
of all the German submarines that are
being destroyed are being sunk by
Ally submarines.
A few months ago it was considered
that a duel between submarines was
merely a freak of chance. Now sub
marines are systematically hunting
submarines. A fotilla Of American
submarines has been dispatched across
the Atlantic for the express purpose OF
joining in the hunt. The underwater
boats of the Allies are destroying as
many of their German kind as the de-
stroyers are, and it is their unexpected
success in the hunt that has largely
contributed TO the confidence OF the
naval authorities that the menace of
the German submarines has been re-
moved.
The submarine that is hunting sub
marines patrols the waters and sea
lanes that the enemy submarines would
naturally take. Knowing that a ship
or a convoy is approaching. it takes
just the position that hostile craft,

No Candy Shortage
Nor Raised Prices for
Holidays Expected

In spite Of the ruling Of the national
food administration whereby candy
manufacturers throughout the country
have been ostensibly receiving but 0o
per cent Of their normal supply OF
sugar, there will be no serious candy
shortage in the holiday period and no
marked increase in prices.
This apparent paradox was created
first b. the fact that supplies for the
holiday trade were TO great extent
already in hand before the ruling OF
the food administration became ehec
tive; second, by virtue Of manufact'
urers having shifted to confcctions re-
qGring less sugar.
