Washington, May S.-About 500 Of
fieers of the engineers reserve corps
viii be selected to accompany the nine
engineer regiments soon going to
France.
The only drafts from the regular
army to aid this expedition-the first
to carry the flag abroad-will be a
colonel and an adjutant of the engineer
corps to head each regiment.
1t is assumed that the reserve Of
ficers will give the men basic military
instructions and that it will not be
necessary to call upon the regular estab
lishment for training purposes.
The war department anticipates that
the railway brotherhoods will aid in the
work of getting trained railway men
who shall rebuild worn out railway
lines and create new means of eommun-
ieation behind the battle lines.
1t is understood tnat America will
soon furnish equipment for the rail
ways of France. Much rolling stock
and trackage is in bad condition from
the strain of constant hard usage during
the war, while it has been nearly impos-
sible to give the equipment the proper
care to maintain it in anything like
normal condition.
The war department announced today

ment with their adjutants:

SOCIALISTS FIGHT
TEUTON DYNASTIES

Stockholm, July 6.-The Holland
Scandinavian Socialist committee pub
fishes long communication issued by
the Belgian delegation in which the
Belgians say that they do not believe
a durable peace possible with the Ho-
henzollern and Hapsburg dynasties
retaining their present power.
They would not refuse to meet rep
resentatives of the Austrian and ma
jority German Socialists, they say, If
"renouncing their present errors they
take sides openly and in a manly way
against their emperors."
The communication says further
that the basis for deliberations of such
a conference would be anti-imperial-
ist. The Belgians associate them
selves with the resolution of the Rus
sian Council of Workmen's and Sol
diers' Deputies in favor of peace with
out annexation or indemnities but do
not oppose modification of frontier
when it conforms to the will of the
inha bitants

Paris, July 6.-Part of General Per-

final training before going to the
front line trenches.
Following a typical Fourth Of July
celebration the battalion of United
States regulars who were brought here
from French port left for their per-

General Pershing is extremely eager
to get all his men settled down into
the permanent training camps and
busy at the final touches which will
make them ready for the trenches.
Also he is eager himself to clean up
routine work at headquarters in Paris
and get out to the camp.
At French port the Sammies filled
the Fourth with baseball and other
sports and with members of the con-
voy crews attended countless recep-
tions arranged by families of the

Washington, July 6.-The house

GRAFTON of bills to authorize the gov

EXECUTE SPIES, IS
SENATOR'S ADVICE

Washington, July 6.-Belief that the
German spy system reaches into all
departments of the government is
growing among officials.
The fact that the lanes which the
transports to France would traverse,
only known to navy, war and state
department heads, became known to
Germany and that country was en-
abled TO place submarines to intercept
them, is taken as proof that someone
who has intimate knowledge CT gov
ernment movements is leaking.
Secret service agents in this coun'
try and abroad are working TO learn
the source of the information sent to
Berlin concerning plans of the navy
to safeguard the lives of American
troops sent to France. The fate OF
these agents of Germany will not be
certain should they come under the
arm of the government.
"It seems a great shame" said Sen
ator Chamberlain, there should be
such persons in the country. If they
can be found they should be strung up
without the courtesy of trial by jury. y
That German spies are in connection
with Germany through Mexico and
Argentina is the belief of Senator
Chamberlain He said there is a sus
picion that the spies were also using
the Cuban-Spanish cables for sending
tips to Germany.

many virtually asserting that unless
Germany makes immediate indemnifi-
cation for past destruction of Argen-
tine ships and grants assurance
against future attacks Argentina will
break relations.
For two weeks Argentina has been
approaching a break with Germany
The crux or the situation lies in the
case Of the steamship Protegado The
ship was torpedoed without warning
and several Argentine citizens lost
their lives. Germany admitted re-
sponsibility and offered reparation aft
er some correspondence. After that
Berlin apparently forgot all about it.
