Pleas of Guilty by
 l German PIotters
CHARLES N. WUNNENBERG AND
 ALBERT o. SANDER
SENT SPIES TO ENGLAND
Federal Agents Had Raided Their or fees in New York and Seized Papers Said to be Highly discriminating.

New York, March 21.-Two reasons were assigned tonight by government officials for the unexpected pleas ot guilty entered by Charles N Wunnen- berg and Albert O. Sander, indicted for engaging in a military enterprise against a power with wich the United States is at peace, in carrying in which they sent spies to England to obtain information for the benefit of Germany
 discriminating Papers.
 One of the causes of their move, it was said, was the knowledge that fed eral agents raided their office yester- day and seized papers declared to be highly discriminating. When what ap- with solution of chemical tablets dissolved in vinegar the authorities found, they asserted, secret writing in German. Transactions were made and would have been used as evidence by the prosecution.
 The second reason for the step was believed to be the fact that a letter which one of the defendants sent to a friend admitting they had him right came into the possession of the government.
 Stops Full Exposure of Plot.
 While the decision of Wunnenberg and Sander not to stand trial has stopped for a time being a full explo- sure for the plot it is still possible. it was said that some of their agents who tries may be sent back here for trial Two of these agents are in Holland, a third in Denmark. Another is being hunted for in Canada, and a fifth is aboard steamship now approaching English waters.

READJUSTMENT OF RATES
 FOR WAR RISK INSURANCE
Federal Bureau to Charge Per Cert. For Ships Passing Through War Zone.

Washington, March 21.-A complete reaGiustment of rates charged by the federal war risk insurance bureau for insurance of American vessels and cargoes, including an increase to three per cent. of the charge on all ships passing through the war zone, was sln- nounced tonight by bureau officials. The changes follow the extension of insurance to many classes of contra band not heretofore. insured, and are accepted as a recognition of the vir- tual state of war with Germany, and the additional risks incurred by the arning of American merchantmen.
 Until now the rates on vessels bound for European ports through the war zone have varied up to a maximum of two per cent. Early in the war a much lower maximum was maintained The first important increase coming after the announcement of Germany's sub marine blockade. The schedule makes the fiat three per cent. rate applica ble to all vessels and cargoeS that must pass through the submarine zone, whether bound for belligerent or neu- tral ports in Europe.
 In the req adjustment the rates be- tween Atlantic coast Torts are made twice those that apply between Pacific ports. Those for cOaStWiSe traffic, and those to South America are greater in about the same proportion. /
 The new rates. notwithstanding the increase, are conSiderab bly, below the rates charged by many private com panies, the latter in some instances going as high as per cent.

The British Have Captured Forty More ViIIages-Russians Have the Upper Hand of the Turks in Persia.

 Rear Guard Action by Germans
 To the north, between Nurlu and Ar ras, the Germans at a number of points are beginning to resist the British wig orously, but despite this, says London their rear guards are being steadily driven back and the progress of the British continues. In the Ailette val ley along the east bank of the Vrozat Canal, the Germans are in strong force and have heavily bombarded French positions.
 Russians Pressing Turks.
 The Russians apparently still have the upper hand of the Turks on the Persian battle front, Petrograd re- porting that they have been driven from the region of Sakkiz and that the Russians have crossed the Persian border and invaded Mesopotamia, thus adding to the menace of the Ottoman troops who are in retreat before the up lue 1iSIIS anu 1l~sld CTS from Bagdad. To the south of Sak kiz the Turks who recently were fore ed to evacuate Kermanshah continue to fall back.
 On none of the other fronts have there been engagements of much inn portance.
 Unofficial advices received in Lon don from Holland are to the effect that serious food riots have broken out in Berlin and that frontier regiments have been sent there to maintain order.
