A mutiny also is reported to have
occurred on the German r warship
Nurnberg, which was at sea. The
men seized the officers and proceeded
in the direction OF Norway, with the
intention of being interned. The
Nurnberg was overtaken by destroy.
ers and forced to surrender.
Emperor William went to VIII
helmshaven and ordered that one out
of every seven mutineers be shot.
Chancellor Michaelis protested, with
the result that only three we're shot.
Heavy sentences were imposed on the
others.
Emperor Williams visit to Will
helmshaven, in company with Chan
cellor Michaelis, was made after the
mutiny had been suppressed.
The Chancellor's objections to tn:
order that one mutineer in
every seven be shot was on the
ground he could no; assume such re-
'ponsibility before the Reichstag.
One of the reasons for the mutiny
vas bad and inadequate food.

prove valuable campaign thunder fer the
Town Meeting party candidates. who are
making municipal wastage an issue.
Joseph y. Gaffney. the Ware follower,
who Is guiding the Administration through
troubled financial seas, has, contrary TO
usual custom, called no meeting of Coun-
c'ls' Finance Committee this week. This
move will prevent any discussion Of finan-
Cial needs and will hold off any talk on the
much-feared tax increase. The one posi-"

with its political fortunes linked closely
to those of the Mayor. the Ware representa-

There is, however, a quiet satisfaction being
expressed in anti-Vare quarters at the pros
pect of the absolute need Of more revenues
in 1918, and the consequent embarrassment
of the men who have handled finance dur
ing the first two years Of the present Ad-

next year or of the imperative need for
temporary loan to tide them over the
c'osng months of 1917. As Councils have
until the first OF December to fix the tax
rate. this embarrassing question can safely
be left open until after election.
Although there was haste in approving a

to authorize an apportionment Of n tempo
