REGIMENTS TO LEAVE g?
Men Think So. hut Commanding Office
Has No Official Information,

A report was pretty we'll circulated
about the city yesterday that the 18th
cavalry. and possibly the 10Th. had re-
ceived orders to be in readiness to leave
Fort Ethan Allen at moments notice,
and that they would probably go before
the end of this week. The fact that a
large number of the soldiers were in the
city yesterday afternoon on half holi-
day. making purchases and doing quite
bit of business, also saying Good
bye" to many of their friends in the
city. would tend to substantiats this re-
port. although the fact that the men re-
ceived their pay couple of days ago
might be reason enough for their pres
ence In the city yesterday.
In spite of these facts, Col. Arthur
Thayer, commanding officer at the Post
when interviewed by Free Press repre-
sentative yesterday. denied having any
knowledge about the departure OF these
regiments. He said that he had no ON.
cial information whatever that would
tend to substantiate the report.
Among tho men at the Post, thera
| seems to he general feeling. which
evidently has some sort of a foundation
that both the 18th and 18th regiment,
are to leave by the 18th OF this month
or soon after that date. and they arr
planning their affairs with that end II
| view.

GERMAN MUT|NY
| ENCOURAGING SIGN
U. S. Officials Says 1t Confirms
Reports of Teut0ns' Declin.
ing Morale.

Washington, Oct. 1O-Few dispatches
since the beginning of the war have
created more interest at the navy depart
ment than to-day's report from Amster-
dam telling of revolt in the German
navy. officers unhesitatingly declared
that the story, SO far not confirmed in
official reports, was one Of the most en-
couraging signs of the year for the allies
and probably one of the most ominous
from the German view. They pointed
out that while the allied powers have
noted repeatedly recently in their official
statements that the morale of the Ger
man troops was declining. and observers
have believed that the end would come
in food and labor riots or perhaps in a
political revolt, there has been nothing
to suggest that the iron discipline of the
German military system had lost it's hold
over the fighting millions in the slightest
degree.
The declining morale on the western
| front. It was said, has shown itself in the
| feeble character of counter attacks as
| compared to all but irresistible drive of
a wear ago. Assault after assault

and British trenches

! guns day after day. month after month.
They insisted that If there is discomfort
among the sailors with their condition.
n must be even greater in the army.
As ono possible explanation of the
navy revolt, they pointed out that ever
since submarine warfare was started
nv the Germans, the British have
adonted the consistent policy of sup
messing information as to the fate OF
the submarines sent to the bottom by
their patrols The policy was adopted
az deliberate method of breaking
down the morale of the submarine

KAISER ORDERS ONE
IN SEVEN SHOT
But Chancellor Michaelis OBJ
.jects and Only 8 Mutineers
Are Executed.

Amsterdam, Oct. 10.-In a speech in
the Reichstag regarding the plot dis
covered In the German navy. Wilhelm
Dittman, socialist member, said the
punishment inflicted on men in the
navy for the mutiny at Wilhelmshaven
amounted collectively to 200 years pc
nal servitude, and that several men
had been condemned to death.
mutiny is reported to have occur
red on the German warship Nurnberg,
which was at sea. The men seized tie
officers and proceeded in the direction
of Norway, with the intention of being
informed. The Nurnberg was over
taken and forced to surrender.
Emperor William went to Wilhelms-
haven and ordered that one out of
every seven mutineers be shot. Chan
cellor Michaelis protested. with the re-
suit that only three were shot. Heavy
sentences were imposed on the others
Emperor Williams visit to Wilhelms-
haven in company with Chancellor
Michaelis, was made after the mutiny
had been suppressed
The chancellor's objections to the EN-.
peror's order that one mutineer in every
seven be shot was on the ground that he
could not assume such responsibility be-
fore the Reichstag.
One Of the reasons for the mutiny was
bad and inadequate food.
The Westfalen is battleship of 1s,6oC
tons built In 1906. The Nurnberg is a new
vessel, and is not listed in the latest naval
records to reach this country. She is a
namesake Of the cruiser Nurnberg OF
Admiral Won Specs Pacific squadron
! which was sunk at the time the squadron
was destroyed by the British in the battle
off the Falkland islands in December OF
1914.
London. Oct. 1o.-A despatch to the Cen
trail News from Amsterdam says that
at the conclusion of Admiral Won Capelle's
statement in the Reichstag on the mutiny
in the German navy there were scenes OF
most disorderly character. the shouts
from the other deputies being heard LOUD
above the furious Interruptions of the
