ago a formidable German fleet in the
Baltic and reports of a naval often
sive against ePtrograd, caused a re-
vival of the report.
Democratic leaders have since the
very start of the new republic re-
garded Moscow as more suitable for
the capital than Petlograd. A number
of weeks ago when the Bolscheviki OPP
position to Premier Kerensky came to
head, dispatches from William G..
Shepherd. United Press staff CORE
spondent then in Petrograd, reported
that Kerensky was seriously consider
ing switching all governmental activity
to Moscow, the ancient Russian capt.
tai. Moscow has always been more
Fundamentally sympathetic with the
government than any other Russian
city.
FEAR THE DREADNoUGHTs.
Just why there should be any imme-
diate fear of danger to Petrograd from
the Germans Is not clear on the basis
of dispatches SO far received and de-
failing the German naval campaign
around the mouth of the Gulf of Riga
1t is possible, however, that the Rus
slams foresee that the great German
dreadnoughts known to be included In
that fleet could easily outrange any
coast defenses of the three great naval
fortresses at Reval, Viborg and Cron-
stadt, If they desired to chance Rus
sian mine fields and make a try for
investment of Petrograd by sea-
Evacuation OF Reval, II confirmed,
would appear to indicate even greater
menace to Russia by the German Bal
tic sea fleet than it's victories so far
reported have indicated. Reyal Is the
first Of the naval bases which hostile
fleet, intent on penetrating the Gulf of
Finland would encounter. 1t is only
200 miles from Petrograd. Before the
war Reval was classified as naval
station of the second class, but under
the czars regime 1t was strengthened
and re fortified.
Three great stations command the
Gulf Of Finland for Russia and con-
stitute defenses to Petrograd-Reval,
Viborg and Cronstadt Helsingfors Is
likewise an important base. That Rus
s1a should relinquish Reval without
striking blow in its defense, so far
as dispatches have indicated so far,
apparently indicates realization by
Petrograd of the great strength of the
German attacking fleet and fear OF a
thanking attack on the station which
might be made by landing of German
troops opposite Moon island.
Presumably the evacuation OF Reval
was decided upon when the Germans
first achieved success in their naval
campaign off the Riga gulf.
Today Premier Kerensky returned
from Grand headquarters, recovered
from his recent attack of influenza
and presided at a council of his min
isters

Millions Spent in
Neutral Countries
By German Agents
BY WEBB MILLER.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London. Oct. 1s.-Germany today
is pouring vast amounts of money
into neutral countries for propa-
ganda designed to sway public
opinion. According to authorita-
tive information here expenditures
for this work will total more than
sS0,0o0,0O0 on the present scale of
lavishness.
Much of the money is spent in
substituting and influencing news
papers. In number of cases
Germans bought newspapers out
right and managed them from be-
hind the scenes. Large amounts
are also being paid agents to keep
peace agitation going.
NEWSPAPERS SUBSIDIZED.
1t was learned today that on one
occasion the German minister to
Mexico, Won Eckhardt, subsidized
a Mexican newspaper by furnish
ing it newsprint paper and secur-
ing for it, tolls free, the German
communicate and other German
made news"
In return, this newspaper was to
feature the German dominique on
the first page and to bury the al
lied official reports inconspicu-
ously on an inside page. German
made editorials were also to be
carried.
In the year before China entered
the war authoritative information
Is that Germany spent 100000
in that country through her agents,
seeking to influence the Chinese
public against Japan and the al
lies.
One of the mistakes made was
the laundering translation into
Chinese of a pamphlet designed to
promote anti-ally feeling The
clumsy wording of the pamphlet
aroused Indignation of the Chi
nese.

JEERS OKLAHOMAN
Morris Violates Every Rule
] of Boxing and Good
Sportsmanship
fRv Associated Prees.l

Canton, o., Sept. 4.-What was to
have been q 15-round boxing bout
between Carl Morris of Oklahoma
and Fred Fulton Of Minnesota, was
terminated by the referee in the sixth
round here Monday after Morris had
deliberately fouled Fulton SO often
that Referee Matt Hinkel was forced
to disqualify the C.klahoman. The
contest decided which Of the two was
the better qualified to meet Jess
Willard in a heavyweight champion
ship contest.
Outclassed and apparently destined
to become the recipient OF a terrific
mauling, Morris violated every rule
OF the boxing game and OF good
sportsmanship. He started early to
prepare his own finish. In the second
round he forsook the legal methods
of boxing and resorted to the foul.
With the passing of the minutes, he
disregarded all accepted practices.
He butted, hit low and hit in the
breaks, and constantly refused to
heed the warning OF the referee.
Morris Starts Game.
Morris started like a game fighter,
and during the first round plowed
into F1Ilton with reckless abandon.
Fulton proved a willing party in the
gruelling mixing in the second round,
and evidently convinced Morris his
energies were wasted, for from that
time on. Morris began to tax the
patience Of the referee.
In the fifth and sixth rounds Nor
ris made no effort to conceal his in
tentions. The crowd booted and
jeered, but reserved a cheer for
Referee Hinkel when the latter as
serted his authority.
Hinkel did everything In his power
to force Morris to live up to the
rules, even stopping a few blows
himself in an effort to give the crowd
what 1t expected.
AS he left the ring Norris swung
at q jeering spectator. Quick inter
vention OF police and soldiers pre-
vented a riot.
