Internal German Plot.


Amsterdam, Oct. 10.--A revolution
airy plot in the German navy similar
to one which broke out in the Rus
sian Baltic fleet recently was disclosed
by Admiral Won Chppelle. minister G.
marines, in speech before the
reichstag.
The admiral frankly stated that il
was very unfortunate that the Rus
sian revolution some time ago turned
some of the heads of the persons in
the German navy.
Won Cappelle declared that some OF
the main supporters of the reichstag
were involved in the plot.
Some of the PIotters Punished.
He also stated that some of the
plotters had already suffered heavy
penalty for their disloyalty.
He said that the biggest agitation
of the plot included some of the fore
most members of the reichstag being
Detmant, Haase and Vogtheer. and
that the other plotters obtained their
approval.
Won Cappelle said that he could not
reveal subsequent evidence in the
navy. He also said that the mem.
5ers OF, the reichstag were the great
est agitators.
Powerful Leaders involved.
The report of the revolutionary
peace plot in the German navy is the
first indication of any definite infiu.
ence that the agitation induced by
he recent Russian revolution inject.
ed into the German sailors.
Haase and Vogtheer, named by Ad-
miral Cappelle, are leaders of a pow
erful and growing socialist minority.
Haase was chairman of the social
ist faction in the reichstag prior to
his breach with Phillip Scheidmann,
nov leader of the national socialist
committee and government sup
porte.
Hugo Haase was also one of the
representatives of the German social
.st democracy of the international So
cialist bureau and one of the forth
coming leaders of the international
bureau in Germany.

The Iowa boys in this Long Island
camp are getting acquainted with
scenes historical in the early days Of
our country. In the little town OF
Hempstead-th nearest town to the
camp-is situated the old English
capital of the Long Island colony
For time ii was the capital of the
colony Of New York, changed in name
but short time before from new Am

Presbyterian church at Hampstead.
1t is touted as the oldest Presbyterian
church in the country, and was or,
ganized in 1914 by the Rev. Richard
Denton of Halifax, who came here
from the north with a handful of
Presbyterian followers. Descendants
OF Denton still reside near this site Of
the Iowa camp.
The old church was attended three
and four centuries ago by the found

Treading on Kids Gold.
Hampstead Plain, where Camp Mills
is located, is supposed to be the site
of the treasure buryingground OF
Captain Kidd. Thousands of dollars
have been spent digging up this
plain in search of nuggets of gold,
precious stones and the other valu-
ables that are supposed to have made
up the loot of the buccaneers of the
Spanish Main.
Getting Cold In Camp.
A sure sign that winter is approach
ing is to be seen in the new schedule
of calls issued to the Iowa troops in
camps with the Rainbow division here.
The schedule went into effect Monday
morning. Reyeille, has been advanced
from $3.50 a. m. to s a. M. and retreat,
the closing of the days work, has been
changed from 5:45 p. m. to 4:45 pm.
Taps, the hour of retiring. remains the
same, which gives the men an hour
more for themselves in the evening.
The weather is getting colder, too.
Saturday night the temperature
went to the lowest point it has reach.
ed as yet. When the troops awoke
Sunday morning they found ice on
their buckets of wash water.
A large consignment of heavy wool
en- blankets was received last week
and have been issued to the men so
that there is practically no suffering
from the frosty air.
