New York, Sept. s7.-Ninety one
Germans, caught in the government s
drive against enemy aliens, plotting to
hamper war work, were taken to Ellis
Island today and interned. Guarded by
sixty federal officers, the Germans
were transported to the wharf in patrol
wagons. Additional armed guards. were
on the pier. Later federal chrges may
be filed against individuals suspected
of having made actual attempts to dam
age machinery or otherwise interfere
with government work. In the mean
time, blue prints and maps confiscated
when the Germans were seized will be
carefully examined. Other arrests may
be made tonight.
Observation-Disclosures Uxkk cmfwypp
"Invaluable material to the navy
department was found in their pos
session, said Thomas Tuney, chief of
the bomb squad of detectives. =" Blue
prints charts, maps and other docu-
ments and a collection of revolvers
were confiscated. "
Large quantities of carborundum was
found in the possession of one man en-
ployed in a plant where machinery for
the navy is being manufactured. A
small amount of this when put in the
finer parts of a machine will complete
ly disable it. &
I'VE believe said Captain Tunney
that he received his supply from a
German agent who was arrested in
Christiania, Norway"
The men taken into custody have
been shadowed by detectives for sew
eral months at the request of the navy
department. 1t was announced that
many of those arrested were working
together and had effected an organiza-
ton.
Among those caught was Heinrich
Wetterhahn, former wireless operator
on the German steamer Friedrich der
Crosse.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in the Field,
Sept. 27.-British troops held fast to
their victories today after night of IL
cessant beating back of German counter
attacks.
The whole of the Ypres sector was
ablaze with artillery, trench mortars and
grenade explosions.
Prisoners pouring back of the lanes
were glad to emerge from the fighting
alive.
Bavarian and Baden troops who OPP
posed part of the British advanced on the
six mile front declared they were sick
of war. They complained that the losses
of their troops were higher than those
of the Prussians, whose battles they
were forced to fight. Still other prison
ers declared unless peace comes soon
the German high command will have
difficulty in keeping all its troops in
the fighting. This latter statement of
serious discomfort in the German ranks
is completely belied, however, by the
stubborn German defense which the
fighting has developed.
Further counter-attacks late today
the regian of Winzig farm and vale
house, but British troops, in desperate
fighting, wrested back some of these
points.
7The same violent combat brought re.
lief today to detachment Of Argyll
and Sutherland highlanders who had
been cut off "a hours from their lines
and who, despite the fact that they
only one division as reserve in their
Italian campaign; while the British and
French artillery, infantry and aircraft
have done most spectacular work the
past week. Such situation means that
Germany is on the downgrade.
With the militry situation thus shap'
ing much of Germany's disadvantage,
experts here see clearly that her peace
maneuvers are based on a real internal
desire for peace above which rides the
spectre of terrible beating if the
struggle goes on.

Washington. Sept. 27.-Congress to-
day is nearing the greatest money rails
ing feat in the history of the world Is
parliaments. No nation, with an equal
time, ever appropriated such sums-$20,-
100000, ,000-for any purpose.
Means for raising nineteen and q
half billions of dollars have been pro-
vided under revenue and bond bills
Only the conference report on the $2,-
500,000,000 revenue bill awaits fina
disposition today.
Out of the giant appropriations may
be traced the new courses modern war
fare has taken. Nearly $7,000,000,0 900
has been set aside for the army, of
which about third is devoted to artl-
lery and ammunition alone. Ship building
has demanded more than billion. Air
craft production is given start with
1864 100000 and more to come. An even
S7,000,000,000 is provided for loan to
the allies. The navy has needed to date
only 81 100000.
There is pending a soldiers and sail
ors insurance bill which appropriates
$l76,250, 900 to take care of the wound
cd and dependents.
More than eight and half millions
have been set aside for the selective
draft. Herbert Hoover is given $162,-
100000 to control the food situation,
while Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has $11, ,346, 400 to hold a nationwide
survey and learn what the food supply
really is.
But even with the great sums raised,
all expenditures of the government up
to June so, 1918, will leave more than a
billion dollar deficit if more funds are
rot raised Senator Lodge figures the
deficit will reach $3,O00,000,000 To
meet this will be left to the December
session.
Revenues sS,SSS, 100000.
The deficit is based on the fact that
in addition to war expenditures OF

lar expenditures to bring the total to

STRIKE
SHOWS NO SIGNS OF
APPROACHING END
That at San Francisco Ends
Switchmen's Strike Hits
Steel Plants

Portland, Or, Sept. 81. = Today
brought new complications in the ship
yard strike - complications which
threaten added difficulties in settling
the labor disputes.
The effort of some ship yards and
steel plants 10 resume work this morn
ing with non-union crews was com
plete failure.
However, the retaliatory step of the
union-the calling out of men in four
plants supplying ship yards with ma
terials-was largely a success. Three
iron and steel works were closed today
and the big plant of the Willamette
Iron and Steel company crippled.
A mass meeting of members of all
unions here affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was called to-
day for tomorrow night at the municipal
auditorium. 1t is generally understood
they will discuss general strike in
other lines than shippuilding and iron
working to make Portland a closed shop
town.
The strike is settling down largely to
q fight between the unions, who demand
closed shop policies, and the employers,
who declare they viii not under any
condition adopt the closed shop prin-
eiple. All other issues are secondary.

HER SYMPATHIES WERE

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Sept. 27.-Bulgaria is
not interested in Kaiser Wilhelm s
dream of Mittel Europa empire. In
an interview with the United Press
today, Stephen Phanaretoff, Bulgarian
minister to the United States, said his
country had attained the sole ends for
which it entered the war and is ready
to quit, providing she can keep the ter
ritor (Which by language, national
ity and historic right belongs to her.
Bulgaria, he said, would have prefer
red to have fought on the side of the
allies, but Germany made more ac-
ceptable business proposition.
bulgaria entered the world war
with one object in view-regaining
Dobrudia, Macedonia and parts of Ser
bia which were unjustly taken from
her during the Balkan war and in the
treaty of 1873 said Phasa-etoff
frankly. "She had no particular love
for the central powers--in fact only q
few years ago had been at war with

war she asked restoration of former
territory which, by President Wilson'S
own statement of national boundar-
les rightfully belongs to her.

"Bulgaria would have preferred to

ration Of her territory providing Ser

KAISER WILHELM
BEGINS TO ADMIT
HE HAS LOST WAR
He Is Not Beaten But Realizes
There Is No Possible
Chance to Win
WANTS PEACE BEFORE
AMERICA CAN STRIKE
This Is Reason for Offer to
Restore BeIgiunl---NOne Of
His Acts Are Open
BY J. w. T. Mason

(Wrltten for the United Press)
New York, Sept. 27.-Realization Of
the inevitable overthrow of the Hohen-
zollern autoeracy if the war is prolong-
ed until America gets into the thick of
the fighting, has caused the kaiser to
make his offer for the apparent return
of Belgian independence.
Step by step, the kaiser is beginning
to admit he has lost the war; but each
admission shows that the same old
crafty diplomatic methods dominate
the German government. The kaiser s
Belgian offer, if accepted, would rep
resent a far reaching victory for kaiser
ism. The kaiser insists that there be
administrative separation of the Flem-
ish and Walloon districts of Belgium.
This is where kaiserism displays its
sinister purpose.
Wants German Language
The kaiser might as well insist that
those parts of America where the Ger
man language is spoken be admins
tratively separated from the districts
where English is spoken. The official
Belgian language and the language of
Belgian literature is French. Walloon
is French dialect. The Flemish Ian
guage, however, is Dutch dialect,
strongly allied to the German tongue.
1t is spoken most extensively by the
peasantry and has no literature of its
own. The kaiser S purpose is to cause
a Teutonic language to supercede the
French language in Bilgium, from
which it is but step to the introduc
tion of German "kultur" among the
Belgians.
Cannot be Honest
Cardinal Gasparri S recent declara
tion to the United Press that the pOpes
peace plea should be interpreted re-
quiring special consideration for Bel
gium, is sufficient indication that the
vatican has secured from Germany the
present offer Of partial restoration of
Belgium. But, the Flemish Walloon
trirl in the kaiser S offer shows how
necessary it is to scrutinize every word
Of the kaiser's diplomacy for secret,
underhand meanings Nothing can be
accepted as open and above board.
The Belgium proposal will not be ac-
cepted by the allies Other offers, re-
luctantly won from the medieval abb |
in Berlin, can safely be pre-
dicted. These will show a gradual in
crease of the price the kaiser is willing |
to pay for peace. If they are all re-
jected, there will then come the final !
step of German democratization as the
result Of Americas preponderant
strength in the conflict.

GERMANY AWAKENING
BY Carl d. Groat

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Sept 27. = Germany,
weakening, though not beaten, is maxi
ing desperate effort for peace, in the
fear Of America s might next year.
international experts today repeated
this declaration even more emphatical-
ly than they have voiced it for weeks
past--on the strength of Secretary Of
War Bakers official war review show
ing that Germany's punch is waning.
The government was Informed long
ago that Germany would start a new
propaganda for peace to avoid a win
ter campaign and the effects of Ann
erica IS participation in the war. Ger
man replies to the vatican proved the
intention was entirely correct. Ger
many's moves now are looked upon
here as an appeal to pacifists.
Russians Stronger
Secretary Bakers war review--the
first Of weekly series-show that the
enemy does not feel himself able to
undertake the much advertised offens-

during the past summer in order to

STORE SEED CORN IN A DRY
p1.ANH

Word is being sent to the farmers
Of Minnesota to take special pains in
driving and storing their seed corn this
fall. G. P. Bull, University Farm, St..
Paul, secretary Of the state committee
Of food production and conservation
says: <"%
FfThe amount of moisture to be re-
moved from the corn this fall is larger
than usual. A we'll ventilated room
with artificial heat, if needed, should
be provided for curing. Care should
be taken, however, not to dry the
corn too rapidly. The temperature of
the drying room should be kept some-
where between 60 and 20 degrees. The
