Expelling Grimm
Was London Plot,
Germans Assert
Socialists Exposure in Rus
STA Called Pre-Aranged
Theatrical Coup

Amsterdam, June 24.-The latest
German suggestion regarding the
Grimm Hoffman affair, which resulted
in the resignation Of VI. Hoffman as a
Swiss Federal Councillor and the eX-
pulsion Of Robert Grimm, the Swiss
international Socialist, from Russia
after the exposure of the separate
peace maneuvre, is that it was an in
trigue Matched in London by Grimm
and Hjalmar Branting, the Swedish So
cialist leader, and that Grimm's expul-
sion from Russia was prearranged as a
theatrical coup.
This theory is advanced with sur
prising spontaneity by newspapers Of
widely varying political beliefs, sug-
costing inspiration from some source.
Referring 10 the case at Socialist
meeting in Berlin, DR.. Karl Wilhelm
Wolfgang Heine, Social Democratic
member Of the Reichstag, is quoted by
tire "Kolnische Volks Zeitung" as say
ing that a more treacherous blow
against the cause of peace than the
disclosure of this effort made by Stock
holm Socialists had hardly been dealt.
He denounced Branting as responsible
for this Branting. he declared, was
openly on the Entente side, and was
therefore untitled longer to play the
role Of peacemaker.

City Waking Up;
Drive for Army
Recruits Gaining
Twice as Many Enlisted
Yesterday in Regulars as
on Previous Sunday

The Mayors Committee on Natl Il
Defence last night reported that the
number of men who joined the army
from the metropolitan district yester-
day was approximately twice as great
as the number that enlisted the pre-
vious Sunday. While the exact figures
were not available, the officers in
charge of Regular Army Week recruit
ing were hopeful that New York would
do as well the remaining five days.
eve are optimistic over the results, -
said Major R. D. Walsh, L. S. A., who
is in charge of the recruiting work in
this city "Of course, we did not
expect a landslide yesterday. which
was Saturday, and always a bad day
for recruiting. The number that en-
listed to-day is indicative that New
York is waking up TO Uncle Sans i'm
mediate need of men"
Recruiting officers said yesterday
that the way men come to the recruit
ing Offices to-day would serve a. an
index of whether this district might
expect its full quota of $500 enlist
ments during the week, as Monday is
always considered a barometer day.
Several organizations yesterday an
nounced plans to campaign for re-
cruits. The Recruiting Battalion Of
Service Men of the Mayors Committee
is TO have a parade Friday night, as a
climax to Regular Army Week. Fiji
teen hundred men will march, and
meetings will be held at every street
corner along the route Of the parade.
in a letter to Brigadier General A.
White. in charge Of recruiting British
subjects in the United States, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt yesterday compl-
mented the British recruits for enlist
ing. and declared il was 10 the inter
est Of every one i'm this country that
the enlistment of these men be aided
in every manner possible. The letter
read. in part:
"Up TO a few weeks ago it was
criminal thing 10 recruit aliens In this
country. Now, by an act OF Congress,
our allies are at liberty TO do so.
Many of the half million men of mill
tarv age in America who are citizens
Of Great Britain wished to 90 10 war
of their own accord. but the vast ma
jority of them had no means Of paying
their way to England Moreover, they
were uncertain whether they would
be accepted when they got there, while
no provision would be made for their
wives and families If they went. But
now that has been remedied.
"All British recruits who are en-
listed in this country within the next
two months can be and probably will
be in France this year. Therefore, it
is not only to the interest of the Brit
ish government. but TO the interest Of
the United States to assist the Brit
ish army in the enlistment Of these
men"

Plattsburg Asked
For 500 Aviators
Young Men Sought as Nucleus
for Army


Plattsburg. y. Y. June 24.-No less
than 500 men under twenty-five years
of age will be chosen from this camp
10 form the nucleus of an army Of
10000 American airmen. This figure,
which far exceeds previous estimates,
was given by a reliable authority to-
day.
II is the desire of officials to make
use OF every man in training here IN
some branch of the service. The
Youngsters will be chosen for air work.
An order posted on the bulletin boards
to-day reads:
There are thousands Of splendid
young men now in the training camps
whose only drawback j., due'to the fact
that they are too youthful in appear
ance To be officers Of a national army
composed Of elder men. 1t is precisely
the keen young men of this class that
make the best aviators. Applications
for this service will be limited to can
didates under twenty-five years of age. "
More than - per cent Of the men IN
camps are under twenty-five. Nearly
all possess the qualifications named IN
the bulletin II states:
"The candidate should be naturally
athletic and have a reputation for re-
liability, punctuality and honesty. He
should have a cool head in emergencies,
good eye for distance, keen car for
familiar sounds. steady hand and sound
body, with plenty of reserve. lie
should be quick witted, highly intelli-
gent and tractable. Immature, high
strung, overconfdent, impatient can
didates are not desired"
To assist in the choice Of the first
500. eleven French aviators who have
seen service at the front will arrive at
the camp tomorrow.
The arrival tomorrow Of Captain
Herman Koehler, physical director at
West Point. is being anxiously awaited
by the students. II is announced that
he will bring with him q new method
of bayonet attack which surpasses the
ferocious British attack. The new sys-
TEN is declared TO be invincible.

democracy. All of Mr.. Creels instincts
lie in the other direction. lie came
here, I am sure, 20 sec that the truth
,hould be told. That ne has become
the most persuasive press agent the
world has ever known, with highly
paid staff that, venture TO say, IN
numbers and cost, far exceeds the big
and efficient staff Of The Associated
Press here, is tho result Of circum-
stances.
Mr.. CreeI is outnumbered on his
committee. Mr.. Lansing is unmistak-
ably and almost comlcally hostile, hav-
ing his own official reporter for his
department in order not to have to
deal with Mr.. Creel's. other members
~ the Creel committee are at least
sympathetic. But whatever the com
mittee had been Mr.. Creels task was
impossible. Il tended inevitably TO be-
come one Of giving to the news the TWIST

ciate of Mr. Creel who has written any

the Administration. and that, too, IN a
private capacity. Mr.. Billiard, discov-
cred suddenly that he was long overdue

Conferences Largely Formal
"Conferences" between the heads OF

continue, though they are largely Tor
nal. Bureaus, however, now are gen
orally closed. excep. TO the official re
porter, and many Of the new bodies

even though the collecting and dissent

The situation has its obvious dan
gers. They are likely to be increased
by the creation Of new publicity BODIES

ell of National Defence. will issue
series of war bulletins through the

chairman of new committee OF the

In the first bulletin 1t is made clear
that the council confines itself TO IN
vestigating, reporting, making recon-
mendations and bringing government
officials in contact with business men.
The fact is emphasized that it does net
make purchases, issue orders or have
any part in carrying them out. 1t mas
