TIGHTEN CHAIN
 OF EVIDENCE IN
 KEET BABY CASE
Circumstances Related by Witnesses Indicate Pier
 sol Leader of Plot.

Marshfield, Mo-, Oct 10.-Circum- stances by which the state expects to prove that Claude J. Piersoi was the leader of a carefully planned kid naping conspiracy which eliminated in the abduction and death of Baby Lloyd Rect last May were disclosed by witnesses against Piersol at his trial today
 Dick Carter, one of the alleged gang, testified five months ago that before the kidnapping, arrangements had been made by him and Piersol to keep hostages in the Piersol home near Springfield. That the Rect child first was taken to that place by another witness who testified that on the day after the baby's disappear ance he heard a sound which he be lieved was the crying of a baby in the old house No children lived in the neighborhood.
 The groundkeeper of the Country club at Springfield testified that at o'clock on the night of the kid naping two unknown men and a we man drove in an automobile into the club grounds just after MT. and Mrs J. Holland Rect, parents of the child had arrived to attend club recep- tion. He said he ordered Piersol away and that the latter cursed him and turned his car toward the Rect home. It was between that time and 1 midnight that the baby was stolen
 Other witnesses testified to having seen a delivery automobile, of which l Cletus Piersol, brother, was driving frequently being driven in the direc tion of the Crenshaw farm, considera bly, out of the stores delivery route It was at the Crenshaw place that the baby's body was found.
 Tomorrow the state will introduce | handwriting experts in the effort te 1 identify the handwriting in two let ters demanding nansom from Mr. Keets as that of Piersol

Socialist Deputies Approve.

Copenhagen, Oct. 10.-ln announc ing to the reichstag yesterday that a plot had been discovered in the Ger man navy to paralyze the fleet Vice Admiral von Capelle, the minister ol marine, is quoted as saying:
 "lt is unfortunately a sad fact that the Russian revolution turned the heads of some persons in our navy and introduced revolutionary ideas among them. Their insensate plan was to recruit representatives on all the sbhips to cause the crews to refuse to obey orders, to paralyze the fleet and force peace upon the country
 'lt is proved that the political agi tator confessed in this building with the independent Socialist faction in the reichstaS, explaining his plans to Deputies Dittman, Hease and Vog- therr and obtained their approval.
 q cannot make statement here on the subsequent events which occurred in the navy. The few persons wac forgot their honor and their duty suf- fered the penalty which they deserved. I can only say that the rumors which are in circulation are immeasureably exaggerated. The cumulative force of the navy was not threatened for a single moment and things will remain so."

OminOus for Germany.

Washington, Oct. 10.-No news dis patches since the war began have created more interest at the navy de- partment than todays report from Amsterdam telling of the revolt in the German navy. Officers unhesitating ly declare that the story was one of the most encouraging signs of the year for the allies, and probably the most ominous from the German point of view. They pointed out that while the allied powers have noted repeat edly in their official communications that the morale of the German troops was declining, and that observers have believed that the end would come ip food and labor riots, or perhaps in political revolt, there has been noth- ing to suggest that the iron discipline of the German military system hac lost it's hold over the fighting millions in the slightest degree.
 The decling morael on the western front has shown itself in the feeble character of counter offensive, as compared to the once determined na- ture of these onslaughts by the Ger mans.

pctro@rad, Oct. 10.-The new @oV ernment has begun the task of re building tine cOuntry's economic and military lines, created by the political uncertainty caused by the bolsheyki in July. The cabinet is determined to ignore as far as possible the actiti ties of the WoriSncn and soldiers dep utics and eenters it's efforts in gaining the support Of the armies.
 Premier .kerensky. the minister of war, General VerkhoVsliy; the for eign minister, NJ. Terestchenko, aud the minister of marine, Admiral Yer deryski, have left for the front to place before the soldiers the purposes of the coalition ministry.
 The minister of labor will attempt to settle the strike in the oil fields, and other officials in the ministry of labor are endeaNoring to end the raii- way difficulties:
 The new coalition cabinet including four mcabarS of the constitutional Democratic party and one indCpen- dent, seems to have met with the ap- pFoval of the Petrograd press except the ralical NOVala Nishin, which IS pro- German. The Petrograd council of Worlmen's and sailors delegates announces in the Novaia Nishln that we Worlmen and the garrison of Pet roerad give the new government no support We are persuaded firmly that the announcement of the new cabinet will get from all members of the revolutionary democracy one an swcr: Resign

 In addition to carrying out an ac- tive foreign policy the new govern ment will issue an official statement declaring that the serious internal difficulty of Russia is due chiefly to the KornlOff rebellion.

Amsterdam, Oct 10.-In addressing the reichstag, Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann said, according to Der lin dispatch, that as far as he was able to view the world situation, there was no impeachment to peace no question which could not be solved by negotiations, except for the French demand for Alsace-Lorraine.
 Dr. George Michaelis, the German chancellor. in speaking of peace, ac- c0rdine to aGvices reaching here said that as long as Germany's enemies demand any erman soil, as long as they tried to drive a wedge between the German people and their emperor peace was impossible

Associated Press Summarv,)

As IS customary after the attain nent of the objective in his drive Field Marshal Haig on Wednesday permitted the British troops in Elan ders to have breathing spell while consolidating their games of Tuesday along the 4pres front. Likewise. the French forces on the British left, in Flanders, are busily engaged in or ganizing their newly-won positions. A heavy rain fell during the day. and no attempts at strong attacks were made by either side, altho at various points there were small forays in the nature of strainghtening operations by the British and French, and weak attempts at counter offensives on the part of the Germans. These alter maneuvers all were repulsed, and the allies held the ground they won on Tuesday.
 Enter French Line.
 Along the right bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun sector, the Germans north of Bois le Chaume, after a viol- ent bombardment, penetrated the French line at several points, but were kept from proceeding farther by the fire of Geenral Petain's artillery.
 In the Austro-Italian theatre, the Austrians attempted to gain ground cn the Carso plateau, but in furious fighting they were thwarted, suffer- ing heavy casualties.
 Considerabel activity both by artil- lery and infantry continues on the Riga front, in Russia. South of the Spital farm the Germans have violent ly bombarded Russian positions. On other sectors of this front the duels have reached considerable propor- tions, especially to the north of Lake Miadziol.
 Germans Talk Peace Terms.
 Peace is impossible, according to the statement of the German imperial chancellor, as long as Germany's an- tagnoists demand German soil, or try to separate thepeople from thei rem- peror. The German foreign secretary, ir an address to the reichstag, as serted that there was no impeachment to peace that could not be overcome by negotiations, except the demand of France for the ertum of Alsace-Lor- raine.
