POISONED RANDACES
SEIZED AND BURNED
Dark Greenish Substance Is Found On
Each Surgical Dressing Found
In Big Box

Cleveland, Dec, PA plot to pois-
on Red CToss bandages and spread
wholesale death arcng the soldiesr Of
America and her allies has been frus-
trated here.
Revelations Of the conspiracy were
made today when it became known
that the Department of Justice agents
were hunting the perpetrators of the
deed.
Mere than three thousand surgical
dressings, rolled by patriotic women
in Toledo, were infected with mys-
terious poison while in transit be-
tween Toledo and Cleveland.
Immediately every one of the banda
ges was burned. Every effort was
made to keep the matter secret and
it was successful until today The
box of bandages arrived here from
the Toledo Chapter last week and was
taken to the warehouse. While wo-
men were examining the contents a
dark greenish substance was noticed
on enc of them. Investigation show
ed that all of the bandages in the box
had been treated with poison.

H0LLWEG is BLAMED
FOR WAR BLUNDERS

Copenhagen. May 9.-The conser.
yatives and pan-Germans have now
brought up their heavy artillery in
the battle against Chancellor Won
Bethmann.Iollweg and boldly lay the
blame fer the long duration of the
war at his door
The. conservative Deutsch Tages
Zeitung explains that three or four
days delay in German mobilization
at the outset of the war. due TO the
chancellor hesitant policy, caused
the loss Of the battle of the Marne
The paper holds that the troops
that were detached to stem the Rus
sian invasion of East Prussia would
have been sufficient to change the
defeat Of General Won Kluck's army
into a victory and that, in that case,
the war would have ended in a speedy
and decisive German triumph.
The Tages Zeitung goes on to de-
clare that the chancellor threw away
a second chance of terminating the
war by opposing ruthless submarine
warfare II cites Field Marshal Con
rad ven Hoetzendorf, Austrian com
mander-in-ehief as saying:
THE war would have been over
long ago If the submarine campaign
had begun year earlier"

GOVERNMENT PUTS
FIRM UNDER PROBE

Washington, May 9-The govern
ment is investigating the activities of
the steamer Manitowoc and other yes
sells of the American Transatlantic
company which are said to have car
ried supplies to German submarines
In the Atlantic.
This was disclosed at the navy de-
partment, but no details of the steps
taken were given out
The American Transatlantic COM
pany has offices in New York and
Boston and its ships fly the American
flag Officials here will not say what
had aroused their suspicious, but ad-
mitted that the ships had been held
for investigation at st. Thomas, Vir-
gin islands, by order of the navy de-
partment.
Both the state and justice depart
ments have been taking part in the
investigation.

LANSING PUTS BAN
ON CERT AIN NEWS

Washington, May 8 The usual
channels Of inf nation through
which news of America S relationships
to foreign powers have reached the
public have been closed by Secretary
Lansing
An order bearing his name was dis
tributed broadcast to state depart
ment officials insuuetins them not to
talk with newspaper men even on
Insignificant matters OF fact or de
tail"
Henceforth. under the order the
press will not be able to discuss the
background Of complicated interna
tional questions with the experts at
the head of each bureau.
The order says hereafter all news
of the department must be given out
either by the secretary himself or by
the newly created 50 called bureau OF
foreign intelligence.
The bureau of foreign intelligence
is about a month old and is charged
not only with the press but with sup
plying news to all American missions
abroad
From now on the public will receive
from the state department only such
perfunctcry news as the bureau gives
ont and such fraementary eXplana
tions as Secretary Lansing himself
finds time for in the crush of other
work.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
HAS 10000 men

New York May 9.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelts military plans. re-
vealed in detail for the first time. will
surprise the general public
The colonel has tentatively recruited
an army approximately of 100000 men,
exclusive of officers. and has perfect
ed arrangements so this entire force
could be modified in six weeks and
its first units started on the way to
France for extensive training there.
Every one of the fOrty-eight states
has contributed volunteers and not
one of these volunteers, by reason
of age limit, could serve under
the new selective draft. Not one of
them has been drawn from the nation
al guard of any state
The bulk of the coloners new mar
tial following is made up of solid men
of business and affairs-lawyers, bank
ers, brokers. college professors. legis-
lators, preachers, merchants and
clerks. 1t is officially asserted that
the large majority of these men are
earning from $4,000 to 100000 year
and that their death in battle would
not entail destitution on those de-
pendent on them.
That only men who can financially
afford to die should be eligible for
service at the front is a fixed princi.
pie of recruiting with the colonel.
He believes a physically sound man
In middle life can fight hence his re-
cruits range between the ages of
twenty-five and fifty years, but he
wants no soldier with him on whose
earnings at home a wife and children
depend for support.
