CLUE IN HEADLESS
MURDER IS GIVEN
BY W0MAN'S TALK
Paterson Police Also Investi-
gate Laundry Mark in Shirt
Found on Torso.

Through an overheard conversation
between a woman and a butcher, the
police Of Paterson. N. j., believe they
have found a trail that nay lead TO
the solution Of one OF the most grue-
some murder mysteries the depart
ment has ever handled.
The torso Of q man about thirty
years old was found in a vacant lot at
East seventh Street and Sixth Ave-
nue.. Paterson. The head. which Is
stIll missing, was expertly severed.
and the legs were cut on about Ave
Inches above the knee. The work was
not done skilfully enough TO suggest
the hand OF a surgeon.
This fact, coupled with the reported
conversation In which a butcher ng-
ures, led the police quickly to tho be-
lief that the clue is promising.
The victim has not yet been identi-
fed. A silk shirt found with tho torso
pore the laundry mark - l. r."
, and already 1t has been learned that
no such mark is known in any Patcr-
son laundry. The Investigation has
been extended to other cities.
Tho hands were soft. well mani
cured and the fingers bore stains
which suggest that the victim may
have been a dyer. There are many
dyers employed In the silk Industry at
Paterson.
Another clue Is the fact hat the
victim probably vas left handed. This
Is indicated by the muscles OF the
left arm. which are heavier and better
developed than those OF the right.
The skin was soft and fair. but Or.

German Property
To Be Seized Here
May Reach a Billion

WASHINGTON. Oct. $50 tremen-
dous is the food Of mail being re-
celved from persons reporting on
property owned by Germans tina. the
total to be taken over by the United
States government may reach one
billion dollars, it was estimated o-day
at the Office of A. Mitchell Palmer,
custodian Of enemy property.
In one particular, however, the
property to be seized will be much
less than if the seizure could have
been effected some time ago. This is
in the property owned by the German
government itself
For instance, the German govern.
ment owned and had in storage in the
United States at one time more than
100000 bales Of cotton. At the very
lowest estimate there is still 10000
bales Of this cotton left here. and the
amount may reach 100000 bales. but
nine-tenths, at least, Of this cotton has
been disposed of.
Much Of it was shipped into Ger
many through the neutrals. Some OF
it, IL is declared, has been sold since
the dangers Of the trading with the
enemy act were apprehended. It i.
declared, however. that a close watch
has been kept, and property sold re
Gently will be seized just the same.

Radical Split Forms New
Austrian Political Party
Try cabls to tbs Courier d.s E,an Uni,l

BERNE, Oct. 23.-The crisis created
in the German party Of Austria by the
attitude Of the radicals has ended in
the formation of a new party.
According to the 'Neue Freie Presse."
the new German national party incor-
porated in its constitution the follow
ing statement of its aim:
"The defence in all territories of
the German interests threatened by
the efforts of the non-German ma
tionalists."
The heads Of the party are German
leaders Of the Reichsrat, such as Syl-
vester and Dobering, president of the
German Association. The party has
also won the adherence of Deputy
Kraft, who had recently demanded
modification Of the constitution in or
der to permit Count Czernin to explain
his policy to the Austrian Parliament.
The new group, moreover, pledges
itself to enter into connection with the
other German groups "in the event
that the German national interests are
imperilled."
The German representation in the
Reichsrat finds itself at present split
into the following parties: Socialist.
Christian Socialist, Agrarian. Associa-
ton Of German Radicals, German Ma
tional. Work party and German CEN
tire. It is, moreover, intended to form
a special group for the Germans OF

May Create New Rank
For General Pershing
Multiplied Armies Under One
Command Inspire Suggestion
of Field Marshal

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Though he
now holds the same military rank as
that bestowed on Washington, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, BLACK Jack"
Pershing has not advanced as far as he
can go, so far as military titles are
concerned. Secretary Of War Baker ad
mitted to-day that some consideration
had been given the proposal to create
a rank still higher than that of general
in the United States Army. There are
two higher ranks, both Of which are
already held by Entente soldiers. Haig,
the British commander, is a field mar
shall, while Joffre is the Marshal Of
France" rank equivalent to field
marshal.
The grades of generals, Mr.. Baker
explained, are as follows:
A brigadier general commands a
brigade, major general division,
lieutenant general an army corps, and
d full general an army.
Now that there must be several
American armies, each of which could
be commanded by a full general, for
the command Of group of these big
units there might be a field marshal.
The Marshal of the United States"
If such a rank should ever be created,
would be the real military commander
in chief His command might extend
to several of these groups of armies,
each group perhaps occupied on diff
ferent front.
The United States army has never
run to high ranks for It's commanding
officers Until now 1t has never had
more than four full generals, and this
is the first time it ever had two gen
erals at one time.
Mr.. Baker has no real expectation
that the rank Of field marshal will be
created, though it was taken under ad-
visement- There is no immediate pros
pect Of the appointment Of the author
izesd lieutenant generals.

Crv for Peace Without
Victory Grows Stronger
Among German Masses

WASHINGTON, Oct. I3.-An oineiai
cablegram on conditions In Germany
r.ceived here to-day represents the
situation to be more critical than any
reports ye. published. A paraphra'e OF
the report follows:
"Germany's population wants peace
and the people declare it Will be con-
Guided in November, becausea German
victorv by arms is felt to be impos-
sible Of realization. German workmeh'
stirred TO a high Ditch OF discomfort by
the Socialists, boldly state they Will
,eave the factorie. necessary for the
conduct Of the war Il the war continues
during the winter.
"In the meantime, German workmen
are demanding increases Of pay and a
more liberal spportionment OF food.
Uprisings in several parts Of the empire
are taking place with ever increasing
frequency. In Berlin soldiers partici-
pated in the disorders. in one demon
stration twenty-five German soldiers be
ing counted.
1.-THE Franco English aerial lombard
ments of German cities and towns are
increasing the dissatisfaction OF the
masses with the war. At Essen bombs
dropped from airplanes did enormous
damage, some striking circus in the
course Of performance for soldiers at
which 800 soldiers we're killed.
German civil life presents terrible
picture. Children are obliged to go to
bed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and to
rise not before 10 o'clock in the morn
ing because of the knowledge that, be-
ing awake, they would feel the need OF
eating, and there is an insufficient
amount Of food for them.
"Interned enemy aliens in Germany
are compelled to work In ammunition
factories, and they are treated with ex-
IRENE hardship, especially being de-
MED sufficient nourishment. They OBJ
tain food by the use of tickets, which
entitle such enemy aliens forced to do
/ German war work, to $50 grams OF
meat weekly, as much bread of very
bad and unpalatable quality, two and
one-half Kilograms of potatoes, 250
grams of peas and so grams Of some
undefnable grease. A suit Of clothes
costs them 260 marks.
"In the camps of the informed enemy
aliens frequent quarrels have taken
place, and many of the informed enemy
aliens have been killed by the German
authorities. The relations between
these enemy aliens and the Germans are
extremely bad, especially in the case
Of Italians, OF whom a large number
have been interned since the commence
ment of the war. The Germans charge
that had Italy not entered the war the
Germans would have won quick mill
tary decision against the Allies"
/ Interesting statements about Ger
many's unsettled political situation and
treachery in the ranks of the army
made by an East Prussian prisoner
have been received here In official dis.
patches. According to this soldier, the
Socalstic and revolutionary spirit is
growing so rapidly that it is expected
to endanger the supremacy of the Junk
ers by spring, and the military authori-
ties are adopting most severe repres-
sive measures.
He also told story Of how German
privates left their officers to their fate
in the face of fire, and of how officers
hated by their troops fell on battle
fields with bullets in their backs.
