two new raido.s left Mopeha island.
where they had been captured by the
Germans. They first put to sea on
August q and the other on Septem-
ber 3 and 1t probably was their oper-
ations which led to recent reports
Of raiders in the Pacific.
Fifteen Victims
BEFORE coming to grief on August
> tho Seeadler had added the Ameri-
can schooners A. b. Johnson, Manila
ana Slade to the list of at least IL
allied vessels, which she sank early

Smiths report, arrived at Moepha on
July 81. Two days later she stranded
on the island and was abandoned as
n total loss, the master and crew,
with 27 white men and II native
prisoners making shore in safety. The
company remained there until Au-
gust 81, when the Seeadler's master,
accompanied by three officers and
two men, put to sea In a motor sloop
with machine gems rifles. bombs and
about two months supplies The re-
mainder of the crew stayed on the is
land until September 5, when the
French schooner Lutece, bound out OF
Tahiti. Society island arrived at
Mophea and was seized. The schooner
was equipped with machine guns,
rifles and bombs and the Germans
immediately put to sea in her.
y Prisoners Escape In Boat.
The Seeadler's prisoners. of whom
Captain Smith was one, were left on
tho almost desolate island. but on
September l9 Smith and three others
of the prisoners departed in an open
boat and reached Tutuila ten days
later. Smith reported the prisoners
badly in need of food and water.
The dispatch from the naval office

Separate Peace for France Plotted
by Won BernStOrff and BOlO PaSha
Counts Former Intimate Tells
Investigators of Scheme
Hatched in America.

NEW YORK, oct. 4.1Testimony
that Bolo Pasha. now under arrest in
Paris as spy and peace propagandist
on behalf of Germany, came to Amer
lea early in 1916 with representations
that Germany was ready for sepa-
rate peace with France which would
be favorable to France, was given be-
fore Merton II. Lewis. attorney general
of New York state here today in the
investigation into the Leyantine's fl
nancial activities In this country.
Adolph Pavemstedt, for many years
O social intimate of Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador,
testified that Bolo Pasha told him he
understood Germany was prepared to
make peace on the following grounds:
First-Germany TO cede France a
part of Alsace and Lorraine.
Second-F'rance to gibe Germany
some of the French colonies.
Thrd-German troops 10 eVacuate
northern France.
There is evidence that Bolo PashA
endeavored to obtain American capital
to finance the purchase of French
newspapers Mr.. Lewis said, but on
terms so preposterous that the only
American financier with whom he was
in communication would not consent
to them. This purported effort to
attract American money IL believed by
the Investigators to have been "fnan-
cal camouflage" to concea-s -shis real
purpose. -
