Methods Employed.

helncus Employed
Use Of the wireless surreptitiously.
Signaling at nisht from portfolios.
Stoking fires by day so they will
leave long trails OF heavy black
smoke.
Firing at night so that bright sparks
shoot through the smoke.
All the methods have proved effec-
tive. but the use of the wireless Is
hy far the most dana ging. Besides
informing the submarines OF the Ves-
sells whereabouts, the wireless af-
tords the spy an opportunity of con-
vcying information in code to Ger
man Submarine commanders, who can
transmit it to Berlin.
Naval officials declare that as long
as American merchantmen pick up
their crews from among the water
front fiotsam and jetsam, there will
be grievoUs risk Of damage through
German spies and agents. No restric-
ticns are placed on the sailors. and
few precautions are taken TO prevent
Germans from mixing with them.
The remedy TO this critical situa-
tion. they declare. is the application
Of the Naval Reserve. already $500,
to the problem of handling the mer-
chant shipping. With seamen sworn
into United States service, subject to
discipline and properly selected, the
danger OF spies employing American
vessels as means of carrying infor-
nation would be materially lessened.
Several influences are working to
have the Naval Reserve gradually
take over and man the tremendous
new merchant fleet being produced
by the United States Shipping Board.

basement of the church.
DIR. L. D. Walter, 1894 street north
east. was sent for. but on arriving
pronounced Mrs. Bell dead. Mrs. Bell
had entered the church at 10 o'clock,
and died about 1870 o'clock.
Many persons noticed in the tragic
case the fact that Mrs. Bells grand
child had always accompanied her to
church, but yesterday morning did
not. The deceased's daughter, Mrs.
James Porterfield. was brought to her
dead mothers side.
Coroner hewitt was notified and is
sued a certificate of death from
natural causes. 1t is said the woman
died from a cerebral hemorrhage. Her
body will be buried in Brooklyn, n.

British Put Rigid
Bar. on Dispatches
From Seat of War

A mystifying fog fell between
this continent and that of Eu-
rope last night when news COM
munication was practically cut
of. meager news OF the war be-
ing received here.
Latest word received indicated
that both Paris and London were
in suspense and it is believed that
the eve of events which will ulti-
mately bring the war to ally vic
tory has come.
Terrific drives have been antici-
pated on the Flanders front and
the strict censorship of dispatches
from the battlefield doubtless
presages crashing drives into the
Hun lines which will effectively
crumble the Kaiser's forces.

To Train Seamen.
The Navy Department contemplates
training $1,000 men for the merchant
marine this winter, in order to be able
to handle the merchant fleet as it is
completed. Admiral Harris and Com
mander Bennett testified before the
Appropriations Committee, asking
money to train the sailors needed.
II think that inside Of the mkt
year We will be maintaining prac-
tically all the ships in the trans
Atlantic service" Commander Ben
nett declared. Every report we get
from a ship which has gone over and
back, on which We had an officer
or petty officer. in charge of the
armed guard, shows the condition on
these ships, especially among the
crew, and in some cases among the
officers was such that We cannot ever
hope to keep up the transatlantic
service unless it is in the hands of
disciplined men,"
This guarded language covered con-
ditions more openly described by the
Patriotic Education Society. 1t is re-
garded practically certain that. as the
society tasks, and naval officials pre-
dict. the government will take direct
control CT merchant shipping. Pres
ent conditions, If continued long, will
bring disaster. the society's state
ment declares.

Bnckers Guard Talk.
The Baker hackers are doing their
share Of guarded talking, and their
argument runs somewhat along these
lines:
AS Secretary of War, Mr.. Baker is
bound to become a big national figure
in the next two years. This will be
especially true IL the War Department
makes a magnificent job of the task
before it, and American arms prove to
be the means of crushing Germany. If
Baker shines forth as one of the great
Secretaries of War, there is no doubt
that tremendous pressure will be
brought to bear to place him in the
White House.
Wood sidetrncked.
1t Is an open secret that one of the
reasons why Leonard Wood was not
given big assignment in the field
was because the President and Mr..
Baker were afraid of him." As a
leader of American forces in France.
and a national hero, Wood would be
a formidable aspirant of the Repub-
lican nomination for the Presidency
in 1920. and a great wave Of military
enthusiasm might enable him to
sweep the country. But Mr.. Wood
has been shelved. and the publicity
agents of the War Department will
see that Mr.. Baker receives his full
share of credit for creating and di-
recting the huge military machine now
in the making.
The literary bureau that the Secre-
tary already has organized is attract
ing wide attention. Walter Lippmann,
Felix Frankfurter. George Creel, and
a host of others will be found. at the
proper time. to have organized a pow
erful writing support" for Mr.. Baker,
and in these days writing will go far
towards creating the perspective and
the atmosphere for projecting a Presi-
Dental candidate into the limelight.

ORDER 275,OOO
MORE TO CAMP
Will Transport Another
Forty Per Cent Of Sc
lective Service Men.

The present week will see the prao-
tiCal completion of the mobilization
of selective service men. The move
ment of 70 per cent begun September
IS will be concluded and another 70
per cent, totaIling approximately
$4,000 men will on Friday, begin 10
leave their homes. There will remain
only Is per cent of the $500 drafted
men who have not yet been ordered
to the colors. with the addition, in
some States, OF the colored men
brought in by the draft. These forces
will mobilize after the white troops
are in camp and no date has yet
been set for them.
Reports from all governors to Pro-
vost Marshal Gen, Crowder indicate
a smoothness and regularity which
has surpassed even the most oTti-
mistic eNDectations Of the govern
ment in the mobilization.
The number of deserters-those who
failed to reports comparatively
small-not more than 5000. according
TO indications. and the cases of these
men have been turned over to the De-
partment of Justice and the local au-
thorities. Rewards will be paid for
the apprehension OF each and severe
penalties meted out by courtmartial

Cantonments Are Ready.
No progress has been made on the
proposition OF examining the remain

TO be appropriated by Congress before
the War Department can act. Mean
while the various local and district
boards have indicated. through the
governors of the respective States
that they are all ready for Fridays
mobilization. The complete 10 per
cent will be ready. and each OF the
sixteen national army cantonmcnts
will be ready to receive them.
There was some delay at first and
some grinding OF gears in getting the
mcbi' Z ion under way, but for the
last week il has been running like
a well oiled machine and the difhcul-
ties are smoothed away.
With the national army conscripts
proceeding to camp according TO
schedule, the War Department is
rushing the mobilization OF the Ma
tional Guard, now far behind schedule.
Approximately 5000 men remain 10 be
moved to Southern training camps.
TRANSPORTATION arrangements have
been completed. 1t is expected that
the entire guard will be under can
vas in the South and West before
tho middle of the month.
This. of course, eNcepts the two
rainbow divisions scheduled for de-
narture for France within a short
time.
