Their prestige will be secure, and with their prestige their political.pow- CT. If they failed the people them selves will be set up in Germany, as it thas been in England. in the United States, in France, and in all the great countries of the modern time except Germany. If they succeed, they are safe and Germany and the world are undone; if they fail, Germany is saved and the world will be at peace. If they succeed, America will fall within the menace. We and all the rest of the world must remain armed as they will remain, and must make ready for the next step in their aggression, if they fail. the world may unite for peace, and Germany may be of the union.
 Do you not now understand the new intrigue, the intrigue for peace. and why the masters of Germany do not hesitate to use any agency that prom ises to effect their purposes. the deceit of the nations? Their present particu- lar aim is to deceive all those who throughout the world stand for the rights of peoples and the self-govern- ment of nations; for they see what i'm mense strength the forces of justice and of liberalism are gathering out of this war They are employing liberals in their enterprise. They are using men, in Germany and without, as their spokesmen whom they have hith- erto despised and oppressed, using them for their own destruction-So- cialists, the leaders of labor. the think CTS. they have hitherto sought to si- lence

Sinister Intrigue.

Let them once succeed, and the men, now their tools, will be ground to pow der beneath the weight of the great military empire they will have set up; the revolutionists in Russia will be cut off from all succor or cooperation in western Europe, and a counter revolu- tion fostered and supported; Germany herself will lose her chance of free dom. and all Europe will arm for the next, the final struggle.
 The sinister intrigue is being no less actively conducted in this country than in Russia. and in every country in Europe to which the agents and dupes of the imperial German govern ment can get access. That govern ment has many spokesmen here. in places high and low. They have learned discretion. They keep within the law. It is opinion they utter now, not sedition. They procalim the lib eral purposes of their masters; declare this a foreign war which can touch America with no danger to either her lands Or her institutions; set England at the center of the stage and talk of her ambition to assert economic dO- minion throughout the world: appeal to our ancient tradition of isolation in the politics of the nations, and seek to undermine the government with false professions of loyalty to its principles.

 IL was officially announced that the purpose of the naval investiga- ton would be to scrutinize past and future expenditures and policies and to secure greater co ordination be- tween congress and the executive departments in the conduct of the war. Hearing probably will begin Monday ana most of them are ex- pected to be behind closed doors to protect the navy's secrets.
 Secretary Daniels heard about the committees action as he left cabI net meeting. He said he was pleased and that the more it found out about what the navy had accomplished the better congress would be satisfied.
 Major General Crozier. chief of ordnance, was before the senate military committee for the third day Of his examination regarding delays in providing weapons for the war army. He was on the stand for four hours answering questions which 1t was deemed inadvisable to discuss publicly, and gave much detailed in- formation supplementing testimony yesterday as. to shortages in rifles, machine guns and light artillery. The general vigorously reiterated his as- sertion that existing conditions will not interfere with Americas fighting ca pacity abroad or training at home He will be recalled tomorrow for further examination regarding heavy artillery.
 The machine gun question was given much attention in todays ses- sion. General CroZiers part in the old controversy oyer the Lewis ma chine gun was touched upon in view of his statement yesterday placing upon Secretary Baker personal re- sponsibility for the machine gun shortage.

S0CORRO IS CACHE
 FUR WAR MUNITIONS
Republican A. p. Leased wireI

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14-Tbe desolate, uninhabited island of Socor- TO off the coast of Lower California was to have been the cache for a vast supply of munitions of war destined for a place which the United States government is trying to prove was India, according to testimony adduced here today in the trial of a number of Hindus and others for an alleged sttsmpt to overthrow British rule in hat country.
 liar Charan Das. a government wit ness. testified that in the summer of 1915 the steamer Maverick. with a crew composed mainly of Hindus. sailed from the port of San Pedro. 'al., for that lonely island in order 10 get munitions there for the mys- terious trip While awaiting the schooner that was to bring several million rounds of ammunition and thousands of rifles and carbines, the Maverick was searched three times by American and British warships Das testified. After a months wait for the schooner it was proposed to maroon Das and two other Hindus on the island while the Maverick went in search of the munition ship. An ad- iournment of the court ended his tes imony at this point
 John B. Starr Hunt and Joseph Bley. two white defendants. were pointed out by Das as the men who directed the voyage of the Maverick. He accused Starr Hunt of transport ing a party of Hindus and others to San Pedro to ship on the Maverick and Bley of attending to the departure of the ship from that port.
 The trial will be resumed next Tuesday.

 CONCORD, N- C., Dec. 14.-There was so little prospect tonight of the trial of Gaston B. Means for the mur- der of Mrs. Maude A King, being com pleted tomorrow that counsel asked the court whether a verdict returned by the jury on Sunday would be legal. Su- perior Judge Cline ruled that it would. Three lawyers addressed the jury to day and fourth was in the midst of his argument when court adjourned.
 Assistant District Attorney Dooling Of New York, speaking for the state in sisted that the prosecution had proved a motive for the death of Mrs. King in it's disclosure of the financial opera tions of Means with the woman's mon . ey. The defendant, he said had dis sipated a large portion of Mrs. King $ fortune, feared exposure and had care fully planned to take her life in order to prevent an accounting.
 Frank Armfield and l.. T. Hartsell of Concord and E. T. Cansler of Char lotte arguing for the defense. said the state had failed 70 prove that Mrs Kings death was noI accidental and had been unable to establish a motive Mr. Cansler who was speaking when court adjourned. said the state had moi dealt fairly with Means. and that it actually concealed the truth from the jury.

RAILROAD PROBLEM

[RepubIican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Dec 14-Without any reason for it apparent On the sur face. the impression grew today that President Wilson will settle the pues- ton of how the government is to deal with the railroad problem about Monday.
 The president still is deliberating over the various proposals that have been put before him-the government operation or suspension of anti-pool- ing laws. alternatives of the interstate commerce commission, the plan for naming a federal administrator to di- rect operations by the present railroad homogeneous, and the confident ss- sertion of the railroad war board that the lines can handle the situation themselves with certain changes in government policy.
 In considering the appointment of a federal administrator or director, it is understood the president is occupied chiefly with the question of who the man should be. Several names already have been discussed a [ the capitol and in railroad circles, without. however. any indication that the president actn- ally is preparing to select one of them. First on the list has been Secretary Lane. whose knowledge of railroad questions is well known because Of his service on the interstate commerce commission. Associate Justice Bran deis of the supreme court has been mentioned and the visit of former Jus tice Charles E.
