They Are Allowed by the Censorhip . Ruling to Use Discretion.

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 15.-'There has been no request for censorship on news given out at this ofice," Said Governor Marcus H. HolcOmb late to- day in reply to New York newspaper criticism for making known a cable gram from Colonel Ernest L. Isbell announcing the safe arrival of the 102nd regimen. abroad. Whenever anything is given out it is up to the newspapers to decide whether they are allowed by censorship ruling. to publish the news or not. They have their list of printed rules. When they get a piece of news it is up to the newspapers to determine whether it comes within their province to sup press it or not. If they find that that particular bit of news should be cen ing a chance with the censorship or running it in their columns"

Speak ing of the published statement, he had brought the matter to the atten- ton of the war department, showing that he was doubtful of the proprie- the governor said:

TWO WORKMEN KILLED
A Third Man is Missing, a Fourth Se-
 in Surrounding Towns.

Philadelphia, Oct. 15.-An explosion in the nitro starch dry house at the Du Pont powder works at Gibbstown. N. J., resulted ir the instant death of two workmen. A third man 7s miss ing and is probably dead. The bodies were blown to pieces. Another man was seriously injured. The destroyed building was a small one-story struc- ture isolated from the rest of the plant, and the force consisted of the four men mentioned.
 Nothing Suspicious.
 There was no other damage. The Du Pont company says there is noth- ing suspicious about the explosion.
 Because of the terrific force of the explosion alarming reports as to it's extent were in circulation. Almost everybody in Philadelphia, 20 miles distant, felt it, and surrounding towns in New Jersey reported shattered windows and other i'll effects of the impact: Consequently. the news that there had not been a great disaster came as a relief.

The German forces which landed on Gulf of Riga, have captured Arenburg capital of the island, and are still pur-
 suing the Russians at various places
 Aiding the operations as far as pos sible are German cruisers and torpedo boats, which have shelled coast bat teries and towns. Attempts by the German fleet to enter the Gulf of Ri- ga, or to operate in the waters be- ever, are meeting with resistance re- spectixely from the Russian land bat teries and Russian naval units In the latter region the Germans declined to accept battle and retired in the face Of the Russian warshfps.
 As yet no attempts have been made by. the Germans to effect a landing on the coast of Esthonia and harass the right flank of the Russian sJmy, and neither has any effort been made to penetrate the Gulf of Finland the wa ters of which are heavily mined and will require intensive mine sweeping operations before a naval demonstra- tions can be made against the import ant part of ReUa1.
 '' In Flanders no military operations on a large scale have been attempted but the big guns are carrying out reciprocal bombardn1ents of great vio- 1epce, like those which always pre- cede the starting of an Infantry of feRsive. The British troops have carried out several successful raids, In which severe casualties were in fiicted on the Germans and prisoners and machine guns were taken.

 Proportions apparently are being made along the Julian front of the Austro- Italian theatre for another big
 battle. In the Brestovizza valley and on several other sectors the artillery of both sides is engaged in heavy
 fighting and there also have been sharp reconnoitering encounters. In
 the Brestovizza valley strong attack by the Austrians was broken up by the Italian machine gun fire, as like wise were attempted offensfves from the west of F1ondar to the head of the Adriatic Sea.
 The entente allies in Macedonia are keeping up their harassing tactics against positions held by the Teu- tonic allies, daily throwing heavy bombardments against them or launch ing infantry attaHks of considera ble proportions. The latest of these lat ter operations has been carried out by Scottish troops, who raided the viI- iage of Homondos, near Seres. and captured 143 prisoners and three ma chine guns.
 The British mercantile cruiser Champagne has been torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine with 2 loss of five officers and; 51 men. The British mine sweeping slooD Bego- mia is overdue and is believed to have been lost with her entire crew.

CANADA TO DEAL DIRECTLY
 WITH WASHINGTON
Instead of Through the British Em- bassy-Commission Chosen.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 15.-Che reorgan- ized Canadian government, 1t became known today, will be directly repre- sented at Washington by a comnis- sioner instead of conductirg' it's af- fairs with the United States through the British embassy J. D. Hazen, former Canadian commissioner of na- val service and marine and fisheries, has been chosen for the post.
 At present. the British ambassador handles all Canada's diplomatic busi- ness for the United States. Formerly communications between Washington and Ottawa had to go by way of Lon don. Recently the channel of com nun ication has been made more di- rect, but is still through the British embassy. Affairs between Canada and the United States have so increas- ed in numbers and importance since war began and especially since the United States entered, that it is now proposed to carry out the long discus sed plan of naming a Canadian com missioner for Washington.
 MT. Hagen will be associated with the British ambassador, but will have considerable opportunity for independ- ent initiative, if. is explained. He was premier of New Brunswick, is a law yer by training, was with Prime Min ister Borden at the last imperial con- ference in London and has had much business with Washington over fish cry, sealing and marine matters.

MATT HARl, DUTCH DANCER AND
 ADVENTURES.
HAD A VARIED CAREER
She Was Convicted of Conveying to Germans the Secret of the construe- ton of the Entente "TanI<s."

Paris. Oct. 15.-Mata Hari, the Dutch dancer and adventures, who two months ago was found guilty by a courtmartial on the charge of espion- age; was shot at down this morning.
 Marguerite Gertrude Zelle, was taken in an automobile from St. Lazaire prison to the parade ground at Vim cennes. where her execution took place. Two Sisters of Charity and a priest accompanied her.
 Gave Information to Enemy.
 Mile. Mata Hari was, according to unofficial press despatches, accused of conveying to the Germans the secret of the construction of the entente tanks" this resulting in the enemy rushing work on special gas to com bat 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" were being made, afterwards travelling back and forth between England and Holland and later going to Spain, where she aroused suspicion by associating with man whom the French secret service long suspected. When she reappeared in Paris she was arrested a contrib uting circumstance, it appears, being the fact that she was seen there with a young British officer attached to the tank" service. Her conviction was affirmed by revision court and on Sept 28 the supreme court confirmed the previous findings.
 Conspicuous in Paris.
 Mata Hari. or to give her full name, Marguerite Zelle Matt Hara, had been conspicuous figure on the. stage in Paris and other European cities, where she Is said to have captivated men in high places. She was not beautiful, but magnetic.
 Compelled to Leave India.
 Early in her career she was com peIled to leave British India, where she had married a British officer, on account of the suspicious death of her son. She made her way to Holland and thence to Paris, where she quickly became part of the great night life of whom was a wealthy German, high official of the Berlin government. He bought home for her at Nieully sur Seine and furnished it in a style most truly representative of Oriental splen- dor. Firing of her Teuton admirar, she hypnotized high French official, who lavished wealth on her and set her up in a magnificent chateau in Tou- raine. Finally she. returned to her former lover, with whom, 1t is believed, she was living when war broke out. She was a woman en1inently qualified to act as a secret agent for Germany. AS Dutch subject she was at liberty to travel anywhere, and 1t seems cer- tain that she had the facilities for ob- information which would have been impossible for Germany to obtain elsewhere. Espionage was a life which appealed to her. Her greatest delight was in exercising her influence to. con contact. and her influence was almost Her constant companion was German woman, her maid, whom she always called Anna.
