Dutch Adventures Was Found
Guilty at Paris of Espionage
Charge Two Months Ago.

PARIS. October 15.-Mata-Ha the
Dutch dancer and adventures. who
two months ago was found guilty by a
court-martial on the charge of espion-
age, was shot al dawn this morning.
Mile. Mata-Hari, long known in Eu-
rope as woman of great attractive
ness and with a romantic history, was,
according to unofficial press dispatches,
accused of conveying to the Germans
the secret OF the construction of the
entente 'tanks.' this resulting in the
enemy rushing work on a special gas
to combat their operations.
She was said to have left Paris last
spring and to have spent some time in
the English town where the first
tanks We're being made, afterward
travelling back and forth between Eng
land and Holland, and later going to
Spain. where she reused suspicion by
asSociating with a man whom the
French secret service long suspected.
When she reappeared In Paris she was
arrested, contributing circumstance.
it appears. being the fact that she
was seen there with a young British
officer attached to the tank" service.
Her conviction was confirmed by a
revision court and September 2S the
supreme court confirmed the previous
findings.

ADMIRAL MAYO SHARES
IN DEBATE OF PROBLEMS

Admiral Mayo commander of the
Atlantic fleet, who returned last week
from conferences in England with Vice
Admiral Sims and officials of the Brit
ish admiralty, is TO confer again tonight
with Secretary Daniels and the Navy
general board
Until today newspa per correspondents
here have been under request by Sec
retary Daniels not to disclose that con-
ferences We're going on. The request
has not been generally acceded to.
Secretary Daniels said today that pub
lished accounts of his conferences with
the admiral. purporting to state what
was being discussed or indicate plans
that were being laid. would do credit
to Baron Munchausep.9 !gsz5z4.---
The Secretary would say only regard
ing the conference tonight that there
were many big problems" involved in
the Nays part of the war, that would
be talked over in the light of Admiral
Mayos personal observation abroad.
The chief function of the general
board. which is composed of high Off
GERS who have had much sea service, is
to FIX the military characteristics of
lighting ships and recommend the
building program from year to year.
1t also is important as 4 planning sec
ton of the Navy, although the chief
of operations is charged by law with
war plans. In general way. however.
the general board outlines questions Of
Naval policy which are submitted to
the Secretary for approval.

EXPLOSION AT DU POINT
PLANT KILLS TWO MEN
Report Heard Twenty Miles Away
and Windows Shattered in
Distant Villages.

PHILADELPHIA, October 15.-An ex-
plosion in the nitro starch dry house
at the du Pont powder works at Gibbs
town, y. J., resulted in the instant
death of two workmen today. A third
man is missing and is probably dead.
Another man was seriously injured.
The destroyed building was a small
one-story structure isolated from the
rest of the plant, and the force con-
sisted of the four men mentioned.
There was no other damage. The du
Pont company says there is nothing
suspicious about the explosion.
Because of the terrific force of the
explosion most alarming reports as TO
its extent We're in circulation. Almost
everybody in Philadelphia. twenty
miles distant. felt il, and surrounding
towns in New Jersey reported shat
tered windows and other ill-cffects of
the impact. Consequently the news
that there had not been a great dis
aster came as relief.
Ever since the war began the powder
and munitions factories around Phila-
delphia have been a source of appre-
hension to the public and the people
become excited whenever a report is
heard or felt from the down the Della :
ware section whore millions of pounds
of explosives are being turned out for

Mr.. DANIELS EXPLAINS
CENTRAL PUBLICITY PLAN
Says Stories Denied Washington
Writers Were Released by New
York Committee

Secretary Daniels today explained
why newspapers had been requested
not to publish matter sent out by the
United States naval publicity committee
and why that body had been ordered to
submit all material to George Creel's
committee on public information.
The naval publicity. committee had
prepared series Of Sunday feature
stories which had been ordered by
newspapers all over the country. and
the first of the series. yesterday 4 week
ago, was widely printed. The stories
We're prepared by naval officers and
We're illustrated by some of the coun-
try's foremost cartoonists and illus
traitors.
Mr. Daniels said that it was consid-
cred desirable to centralize all public
ity of the Navy. He explained that in
some cases photographs which had been
denied newspaper correspondents in
Washington had been sent to them from
the New York headquarters of the
naval publicity committee. This had
been done, he said. not as a conscious
violation of the Washington policy, but
because there was no coordination in
the rulings on what was to be printed
and what was to be withheld.
Originally the publicity committee
was established as a recruiting public
ity organization, Mr. Daniels added He
said that matters of news interest were
to be handled in Washington, and We're
to be given out through only one chan
mel, the committee on public informa-
ton
The Secretary said that. although the
order had gone forth to the committee
to submit the particular series it had
offered editors to Washington, the or
der had been a blanket one to submit
all matter to the Creel committee,
hence that series probably would be
submitted before being released Mr.
Daniels compared the situation which
has prevailed to that of sending two
orders to a feet"
