roads, controlling more than thirty
miles Of the line from Grade, on the

equal amount of the trackage Of rail-

Control of these facilities, together

In Moscow Seized,

PETROGRAD, Nov. 9.-The reyolu-
tionary committee, supported by the
military garrison, has taken over all
government Offices in Moscow. acord-
ing to a telegram received By David 4.
Francis, the American Ambassador,
from the American Consul General in
Moscow.
The dispatch from the consul gem
eral was dated Thursday, and added
that conditions in the city were quiet.
The congress to-day appealed 20 the
Russian army TO stand firm and 20 pro-
tect the revolution against imperial
istic attempts until the new govern
ment had obtained democratic peace.
It's appeal says:
ave appeal TO the soldiers in the
trenches to be vigilant and firm.
The congress expects the revolutions
ary army will protect the revolu-
tion against all imperialist attempts
until the new government has OBJ
tanned a democratic peace, which IL
will propose directly to all the peo-

"The new government will take
adequate measures TO ssure the army

acquisitions from the upper classes IL
will also ameliorate the economic
situation Of soldiers families" be-
The proclamation further declares

B. Prieth, a Pro-German,
Runs for Commissioner
in Newark
Was Presiding Genius
Of the "Freie Zeitung"
Upheld Hearst and Said
Victory for Allies Was
Unthinkable

NEWARK, Nov. 9.-The Hohenzol-
lern issue is here.
Something is happening in this city
which could probably happen nowher'
in the world except in the United States
of America.
A man under indictment by Federal
grand jury on the charge of treason is
running for the highest Office which the
city has to offer-that of Commissioner,
The man is Benedict Prieth, former
editor Of the NeU JerSep Freie lei
tun0. If convicted of the crime with
which he is charged he may be SEN
fenced to death, sent to the Federal
penitentiary for not less than five
years, or fined not less than $4,000.
To Urge Death Penalty
Charles F. Lynch, United States Dis
trict Attorney, says that in event Of
conviction "the death penalty very
likely will be urged"
Hardly anybody expects that Prieth
will be convicted Of treason. Nor does
anybody seriously expect that he will
be elected City Commissioner. But one
thing is certain: If Prieth is elected it
will constitute an Endorsement by New
ark of reasonable utterances Of the
Freie Zeituno which constituted the
evidence on which he was indicted.
Meanwhile, the object Of the charge
the most serious IN the statute books
Of the United States manages his
large personal property holdings by
day, campaigns by night, and looks for
ward to his impending destiny at the
polls or in the Federal court with about
equal concern.
To the other unusual features Of
the case is added the fact that Prieth
is a man of unusual influence and
standing. Until three months ago he
was treasurer Of the Republican State
Committee of New Jersey. He is a
graduate of Princeton, a member of
virtually every civic organization in
Newark, the owner of several hundred
thousand dollars worth Of property,
and a prominent figure in Newark So
cial life.
Indicted with him are his brother,
Edwin S. Prieth, William J. Won Katz-
eler, formerly managing editor Of the
"Freie Zeitung;" Henry Waechter, city
editor and Hans Won Hundelhausen,
former associate editor. The two
Pricths are at liberty on bond of $685.
900 each, and the three other men on
bord of 5000 each
Two indictments were returned
against the five by the Federal grand
jury. One charges them with treason;
the other with violation Of the espion-
age act. Both indictments are based
solely on articles published in the
"Freie Zeitung."
The indictment under the espionage
act is based on some half-dozen arti-
cles which were published after June
] IS. when the act went into effect. But
/ the indictment for alleged treason is
/ based on articles published prior to
/ that date.

Believes Case Clear

Before the espionage act" said Mr..
Lynch last night, "a number OF pro-
German papers seemed to have the idea
they could publish anything they
pleased. This is an effort to prove
they were wrong. The statements
which form the basis for the indict-
ment amount, believe, to a clear
case Of treason against the United
States. Such acts are not mere indls-
cretions: they are deliberate attempts
to hamper this country in its prosecu-
ton of the war"
The treason indictment is based on
twenty-nine different editorial extracts
which were published in the Free
ZeitunQ after the declaration OF war.
A few samples:
"The mass Of the people do not
believe in this war, and believe that
IL was desired only by high finance

ions
"There is only one way for Eng
land to avoid subjection by hunger.
and that is-peace."
"Tbat the President is willing to
do everything to defeat Germany and
to HELM England is self-evident from
his hatred for everything German"
"Here in this country they now
wish to build ships at high pressure

may be too late"

Story OF Atlantis Island.

Plato tells the story o. tho great
island Of Atlantis and puts its eXls-
tence 5000 years before his time. Els
location of it is about half way be.
tween the western projection Of Africa
and the Gulf of Mexico. Its civiliza.
ton was supposed to be very advanced
and it's powerful armies We're said to
have penetrated Africa as far as
Egypt. The whole island, according
to this legend, was engulfed by the sea
In day and night. Another story
says that q great earthquake destroyed
the island. The legend was ascribed
20 Egyptian priests, and on some old
italian maps Atlantis is placed to the
westward of she Azores. Among some
tribes of South and Central America
there is the legend Of vast cataclysm
which cngt:lfed n great extent of'land.
