Submarine loses Punch.

| London, Oct. 13.-The strongest proof
! that Germany's submarine campaign is
! waning was London's Interpretation
today of the news of German Minister
of Marine Won Capelle's resignation.
Berlin dispatches received via Hol-
land declared the man whom Grand
Admiral Won Tirpitz, father of sea
frightfulness, picked as his successor
in ruthlessness, had formally asked lGs
retirement of Chancellor Michaelis and
that Michaelis had telegraphed this
resignation to the kaiser.
The same dispatches indicated that
Michaelis, himself, was perhaps totter-
ing to fall.
The direct cause of Won Capelle g re-
tirement was undoubtedly his reichstag
revelations of the German naval NUT
my. The naval chief was blamed
first for permitting conditions to exist
in the navy under which such mutiny
could grow and, he came in for the
radicals displeasure when he joined
what apparently the liberal elements in
Germany have begun to realize was an
attempt at coup to bolster up
Michaelis' fight for Vice Chancellor
Hellferich.
The greatest interest was manifest
here today in why the German reich
stag's adjournment period was length
ened so much beyond the usual recess
period. The German parliament adj
journed Thursday, not to meet again
until December 5. 1t was believed
here that Chancellor Michaelis realized
his failing grip on the majority and
put over a long recess period to post
pone a showdown and his possible fall
1 Other evidences have been trickling
out of Germany of late, indicating grad
ual realization by the public of the
failure of the submarine warfare,
despite the glowingly optimistic state
ments of government heads. One rea-
son for the open outbreak at Wilhelms-
haven, according to one report, was the
naval policy of forcing sailors to work
in submarines. One Holland dispatch
asserted that number Of sailors who
refused this hazardous duty had been
severely punished.
That this spirit Of mutiny is still pre-
valent was indicated in another report,
Of the execution Of four or five men for
the same reason.
Heavily increased pay, special leaves
Of ebsence and special food when
ashore, all offered for submarine duty,
have failed Of their attractions for the
U-boat crews.
The kaiser is not expected back in
Berlin until the latter part of October
and some German dispatches indicated
that Won Capelle g resignation, as well
as the future of Chancellor Michaelis,
would not be decided until then.

Sticky Slime, Yards Deep In

With the British Armies in Flanders.
Oct. 13.-The Germans best friend is
the Flanders mud It's sticky slime,
yards deep in places, reached out a
yiscid embrace today to slow up Mar
shal Haig's resume along the Passeh-
endaele ridge. 1t was smeared every.
where. British soldiers bedaubed with
it looked like gnomes grubbing in some
outlandish ploughing of the field of
death. Today with the first objectives
Of the British advance attained and
held, the troops began to marvel at
their own achievements, considering
the tremendous difficulties this mud
kallow presented.
The front over which Haig threw his
men was along the Passchendaele ridge
from the rear Houthulst forest south
ward six miles. Passehendaele is the
eliminating point in the ridge of that
name and it was toward Passchendacle.
the British made their greatest adj
vance, despite the ooze.
1t was fair all day Thursday but at
10 p m, came a downpour Of rain.
There was no let-up in this drenching
sheet until dawn, after the first British
assault. Through the night the German
ARTILLERY was active against the central
and southern portions of the battlefield
Haig had chosen, especially at Brood
seinde, Amaze ridge and around the
Roulers-Ypres railway. A number Of
gas shells were thrown over by the
Germans Friday morning, just when the
British barrage fire started AS soon
as the enemy saw the attack started
he loosed a tremendous rat-a-tat of
machine gun fire but the German artil-
lery was slow and erratic. While the
land soldiers wriggled and slid and
fought through the mud below, the
aerial soldiers-British fighting avi-
ators-whistled through the air, direct
ly above the enemy, machine cunning
them along line after line.

ENGLAND BELIEVES DIVER
CAMPAIGN LOSES PUNCH
Frank and Open Newspaper
Criticism Shows Change Of
German View

Amsterdam, Oct. 13.--It is Germany s
fateful hour. She cannot maintain her
position as world power against Eng
land if she is not based on the power
of might" declared Admiral Won Tir-
pitz in an interview in the Brunswick
Landezeitung, received today.
The final defeat of England is alb
solutely certain, +" declared the father
of submarine frightfulness, Gas long
as our sinkings exceed the possible new
construction.
Success cannot be expected forth
with, but if we pursue our aim firmly,
our position some months hence win be
quite different. England wants to
negotiate now while her military posi-
tion is comparatively favorable. f"
The fan who invented the submarine
warfare was very much more confident
of Immediately bringing England to
terms last winter, so that the interview
quoted above may be considered very
significant. just what is meant by
Won Trpitz' s statement that England
wants to negotiate now" is not clear,
since all British statements have been
emphatic in rejecting any present
peace. Nor is the former grand admir-.
al 's admission that England 's military
position is comparatively favorable
without significance as being one of
the few admissions so far recorded that
the allies have gained any advantage
at all in the war.

Mo- Counter Attacks Made.

London, Oct. l3.- British troops
achieved and held their latest gains
along the Passchendaele ridge without
German counter-attack, according to
Field Marshal Haig's report today.
He said heavy rain deluged the bat
tie front throughout all of last night.
'tThere were no hostile counter-at-
tacks," he concluded.
The fact that the Germans permitted
the British to remain undisturbed in
their newly gained positions was re-
garded as highly significant here of the
crushing blows which Haig has recently
struck at the enemy.

HIGHWAY DIRECTORS
MEET l0VEl0CK BOOSTERS

George Elder, James NJ. Leonard
and w. B. Alexander, directors of the
department of highways, left this
morning for a point about midway
between Lovelock and Reno, where
they will meet with large delegation
of Loyelock people who are holding
a good roads day for the purpose of
improving the Overland Trail. says
the Gazette. The directors are meet
ing with the Lovelock delegation by
invitation and will probably spend
most OF the day viewing the new
roadway which is being established on
the abandoned grade of the Southern
Pacific company.
This is the first of series OF visits
which the directors are preparing to
make on a statewide trip" said Direc-
tor Edler last evening. We are now
planning to visit every county in the
state through which the highway sys-
TEN passes in order to study the Condi-
tion of the roads which are "a part of
the state system and determine their
Importance as lanes of travel. We in.
tend to confer with local officials at
all points for it is imperative that the
department shall have the fullest CO.
operation of all the counties of its
work Is to be successful"
AS yet no engineer has been chosen
by the department but the selection il
expected to be made within the neXt
thirty days. 1t is probable that the
selection will be made from a point
outside the state as there is a strong
demand that only highway enginec.
OF long experience and known reputa
tion shall be selected. 1t is hoped that
some other state which has been pros
ecuting highway work will loan or re
lease man to Nevada and the depart
ment is working to that end.

DEPUTY SUPTS. TO SUE
FOR THEIR EXPENSES

The deputy superintendents of pub
lie instruction are preparing to bring
suit against State Controller Cole to
compel him TO pay their travelling and
office expenses for the years 1917 and
1918. No appropriation was made at
the last session of the legislature for
this purpose. but the deputies, 1t Is
understood. claim that under the orr
ginal statutes creating these Offices
they are allowed $500 for travelling
and $500 for Office expenses each year
and that an appropriation by the leg
islature is not necessary.
II is also expected they will bring
suit for the deficit for the years 1915
and 1916, which the legislatures re.
fused to pass as relief bill.
The Legislature heretofore has been
in the habit of appropriating a specific
amount at each session for these ex
pcnses. but the last session refused Il
do so. The state controller has re
fused, so far, to pay any of these bills
claiming he has no authority. SO the
matter will no doubt be threshed out
in the courts.-Carson Appeal.
