Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-18

Capt. Dodge and the officers on the cutter Unalga held delightful recep- tion for several Valdez ladies at three thiry Tuesday afternoon which was attended by about thirty guests. Af- ter a short visit the guests were con- ducted on a sightseeing tour over the ship and saw several interesting dem- Ionstrations of the efficiency of living on one of Uncle Sam's floating homes. Several musical selections were rem dered in the social hall after which a dainty lunch was served. The offic- CTS of the cutter have made host of friends who will be sorry to see them leave.

The Mariposagrams, daily paper published on that popular steamship, in a recent publication stated that at the request of the government the en- tire crew on the Mariposa has ex- pressed a willingness to enter the United States navy, despite the fact that their calling exempted them from war service. It is quite likely that they will be ordered into service before the summer passes.

Several radical changes have talk
 en place in the Signal Corps person nel of this city the last week, several men leaving on the Mariposa for ser vice at the Presidio, Monterey, Calif- ornia, under Capt. Robert M. Nolan, formerly commanding officer at Val deg, Alaska. Those affected by the changes are Sergeant first-class, Jones

Considerations of Terms

of Pope Benedict, the German and
Austro-H Hungarian governments ex
press the hope that the pontiff's ef
forts may bring about cessation
of hostilities. Emperor William
"cherishes lively desire" that the
vatican appeal may meet with sue
cess.
Germany's reply is written by
member of the emperors encourage
while that of Austro-Hungary is
personal missiye from Emperor
Charles. Both notes to the pope
were made public almost simultane-
ously and apparently both follow the
same general trend.
Emperor Charles declares the
pope's proposals will lead to peace
If the belligerent nations would enter
into negotiations in the sense of the
pontiffs suggestions"
The future arrangement OF the
world, the emperor says, must be
based on the elimination of armed
force, the freedom of the seas and
on the rule of international justice
and legality.
Emperor William has been follow
ing the efforts of Pope Benedict to
ward peace with high respect ano
sincere gratitude" The German re
ply designates the pope's notes as an
emphatic peace appeal"
Meanwhile, the opposing armies
still are busy from the North sea
to Switzerland in the west, from the
Baltic to the Black sea in the east,
in Macedonia and in the Austro.
Italian mountains TO the Adriatic.
In Flanders, however, the activity is
not intense.
The British are holding tight to
the new positions taken from the
Germans on Thursday. Berlin Of
ficially admits that the British eff.
fort was successful and that the
Germans we're forced to evacuate
some of their defenses in the vital
Ypres salient, but it attempts to min
imize the Importance of the advance.
The British losses in the assault
are reported to have been light.
On the southern end of the western
front the German crown prince has
suffered severe losses in an unsuc-
cessful attack on Mont Haut, in
Champagne. other attacks by the
Germans on the Aisne front and near
Verdun were repelled by the French.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 92-Chair-
man Flood Of the house foreign af-
fairs committee, after comforting,
said he thought probably there would
be house investigation Of Count
Won Bernstorffs plans to influence
congress by sending $4,000.
On the floor of the house, Rep
resentatiye Hefln Of Alabama as
serted that he could name thirteen
or fourteen members Of the two
branches OF congress who had acted
suspIclously and expressed the opin-
lon that they should be investigated.
Generally, however, the disposition
was to regard as absurd any sugges-
ton that any part of the $bO,OOO
sought by Won Berstorff was intend
ed for members OF congress.
The Won Bernstorff message was
sent nine days before the German
government proclaimed its unre-
slricted submarine warfare. When he
wrote 1t Count Won Bernstorff was
assuring the American government
and press that under no circum-
stances would Germany violate her
pledges Of the Sussex case or do
anything that might draw the Unit
ed States into the list OF her
enemies. With the Lusitania ana
other cases in allegiance, the Ameri-
can government had made no move
since the Sussex pledge and there
was nothing on the surface to fore

Darling, once president of the Ameri-

by the revelations of the state de-
partment. He said he was convinced
that he had been made tool of

Darling has long been prominent
in G. A. r. circles, and he said he
was convinced he was selected and
misled by the plotters because of his
reputation for patriotism. He said
the source of the money always was
mystery to him and great deal
passed through his hands in oppos-
ing the export of munitions, and 9th.

the United States into war.

plentifully supplied with arms and
ammunition purchased with German
money.
Recruiting activity OF the Work
ing Glass Union, he testified, dated
from the passage of the seleetive
draft act and leaders seemed well
supplied with money and presented
comprehensive plans for resisting
the draft through appeals to the
ignorant classes among which they
worked.
"Rube" Munson, who is in the
federal Jail at Muskogee, was the
state organizer of the w. c. u, with
headquarters in Sallisaw, Holmes
testified. The arrest of Munson, on
May 81, severed the connection with
Chicago headquarters, Holmes said,
but recruiting of the organization
was continued on the promise of new
German connections. The organiza-
tion was effectually broken up in
August with the arrest of approxi-
mately 500 draft deserters in Cen.
trail Oklahoma.

Bad Bandit Recaptured.

Henry Grady Webb, the desperate
young train bandit who two weeks ago
escaped from his guards while being taken
from Martinsburg to the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga, to serve 25-year sentence,
was recaptured last Thursday. A Swarm
of detectives and officers were on his
track few hours after he had escaped
by jumping from train, and he was re-
captured at Badin, North Carolina. After
he had made his spectacular escape Webb
kept concealed for a time. Tuesday he
appeared in Badin looking for a job, and
found employment in the plumbing de-
partment OF the aluminium works there
Detective Howard, who had effected
Webb's arrest before. trsied him to that
point, and learned from barber that
man of Webb's description was there.
Going 10 the plant where Webb was
working, they had his foreman send
Webb on the outside on the pretext Of
having him to do some work. As Webb
stepped out OF the door ne was arrested.
He took the arrest philosophically. admit
ting that he was the man wanted. Webb
was taken to Salisbury where he was put
aboard the train for Atlanta, and was later
safely delivered to the warden OF the
prison.
