Secretary Daniels Denies False
Reports That Are Poisoning
Minds in the Country.

WASHINGTON, June s.--Persistsnt
and widely circulated false reports of
naval battles and disaster 20 Amsri-
can and Entente forces have reached
the point where Secretary Daniels
has concluded that they are the re-
suit Of an organized conspiracy ("
alarm and distress the American
people.
To-day the Secretary Issued the fol
lowing statement:
"The country IS being poisoned by
rumors OF battle and disaster that
are absolutely without the slhghtesr
foundation in truth. Reports from
the commandants OF naval districts,
kilograms from newspapers and let
ters from individuals have forced me
TO the conclusion TT there Is an or
ganized conspiracy on foot 10 alarm
and distress the people OF the United
States.
Among the most persistent Of
these false reports is one that a naval
engagement has taken place between
the German fleets and the combine
fleets OF England and the Unitel
states and that in this battle sixt,'
English and American ships were
sunk or disabled. two OF the number
being the Pennsylvania and the
| Texas
In elaboration OF this falsehoOd
there is the added rumor that the
hospitals at the Atlantic coast naval
yards are filled with crippled sailors
and marines and that the various
hospitals OF New York City are equal
ly crowded with wounded men.
"By way OF circumstantiality IL is
being rumored widely that a passen-
ger arriving on one OF the Holland
America Line steamers has stated
that his vessel passed through the
battle area after the engagement and
that tho sea was thick with floating
bodies.
An OF these outrageous falsehoods
are accompanied by the explanation
that the Washington authorities are
in y conspiracy with the press TO keep
the truth from the people.
mo such engagement has taken
place. The American feet has not
been in action. No ship has been
lost There are no wounded sailors
or marines in any hospital.
The declared policy Of the Navy
Department is one OF absolute open
ness. II disaster comes no effort will
be made TO minimize II. The people
OF the United States are asked 10
trust In this pledge and 70 aid in
stamping out this campaign OF rumor
that is 40 plainly the product OF dis
loyalty"

RUSSIANS MUTINY

9th Army Said TO Have
Imprisoned Officers.

PETRooRAD. June s.-Fouf regl-
ments OF the Seventh Russian Army
refused TO obey orders OF their officers
to-day. One additional regiment was
reported 20 have arrested Its own
officers.
Minister OF War Kerensiy ordered
tho arrest OF all responsible for the in
cident. They will bo courtmartiailed.
Full details OF tho manner in which
the Austrian General Rohr planned
to effect a separate peace between his
troops and the Russian soldiers at
the front have been received at the
War ONCE.
Three weeks ago Gen. Rohr selected
two peace delegates from every di-
vision OF Austrian troops on his par
tioular part OF tho front--120 men in
all. The delegates, according TO
papers In possession OF the Russian
War ONCE. included nm Austrian
prince.
Early this week these 100 Austrlans.
bearing white flags and blowing
buglos. advanced TO tho Russian lines
tho Russians respecting the white
flag. and meeting tho enemy, un-
armed, in front OF the trenches. There
tho Austrian spokesman outlined the
plan for n cessation OF bostilitles,
without waiting for mere govern
mental action.
III you want peace Eo to Petro-
grad" declared the commander OF the
RUSSIAN troops. He forbade his men
further discussing tho matter and
sent all OF the Austrinns except the
Prince and one other under a military
escort back to the Austrian lines.
On tho two Austriaus retained, tho
War Once declared to-day. were
found papers including orders for
every Austrian regiment 10 effect n
peace agreement with the opposing
Russian regiments,
From the care with which this Aus
triRn peace idea has been worked out.
and the fact that the Austrian Gen
eral was frankly named as one OF the
sponsors for tho movement, officials
here believe the whole plan was engi-
neered by the Austrian Government.

GERMAN|C DREAM
England to Be Expelled From
the Mediterranean-Many
German Protectorates.

COPENHAGEN. June 0 (via Lon
don).--An energetic complaint IL ad-
dressed by tho Socialist newspaper
Vorwaerts or Berlin 10 Gen. Won Lu-
dendorff. Lieut.. Gen. Won stein, the
Prusslan War Minister, and others
in high official places who are facil-
itating the circulation among the
troops In hospitals. In schools and
elsewhere Of a pan German brochure
entitled "Germany's Position Under
Good and Bad Peace"
The brochure. which belongs among
tho most extreme outbursts of the
annoxatlonlst literary fancies. Is dl-
rected particularly against peace
along the lines suggested by Philip
Scheldemann and other Socialists. II
contains graphic representations OF
Germany bowed down under a
weight Of debt in consequence OF a
peace without indemnity and strld =
ing forward with vigorous strength
and mighty bag OF gold in the event
Of n pnn-German peace.
Among tho most striking features
OF the brochure are maps showing
Germany covering or dominating
three-quarters OF Europe. Not only
are the usual sweeping demands for
annexauons made, but the articles
riso to tho heights OF suggesting the
Incorporation OF France as O federal
state In Germany or alternatlvely
the annexation OF territory connect
ing Germany with tho Mediterranean
Other features In the program thus
put forward are the expulsion OF
Great Britain from the Meditorran-
can. the entry OF tho Scandinavian
countries into Il German customs
union. extension OF the German
sphere of Influence in Persia and
Afghanistan. hoisting the German
flag over the Azores. Cape Verde and
other islands and the reduction of
Poland, Courland. the Baltic provin-
ces. Finland and tho bulk of Euro
poan Russia to the status OF pro-
tectorates or annexed territories OF
Germany.
The Vorwaerts procured pub
lisher's circular disclosing that Ger
man Great Headquarters and the
War Ministry purchased large num-
Der OF these brochures and that Gen.
Won Ludendorff and Gen. Won Stein
distributed $4,000 free copies among
the troops. The newspaper protests
against such use OF public money.
This act OF tho army authorities is
particularly glarinE on account OF the
fact that tho brochure IL directed
almost as much against Chancellor
Won Bethmann Hollweg as agninst
the Socialists.
