Months Training Are in Spleen
did Condition and Efficient
Fighting Trim.

Washington, Oct. 24.-It is the ex-
pectation of military experts here that
winter will not halt the great Allied
drive against the Germans in Flan-
ders.
Secretary Bakers weekly review of
war operations discloses the belief of
the War department that potency of
material and men will enable the Brit
ish and French commanders to tri-
umph over natural obstacles and con-
tinue forcing the enemy backward
without waiting for spring.
SammIes In Fine Trim.
The review touches for the first time
upon the American expeditionary
forces in France, declaring the men,,
after three months intensive training,
are in efficient fighting trim and splen-
did physical condition.
The War Secretary declares it ap-
parent that the German high COM
mand planned the recent expedition
against the Russians in the Riga Sec
tor to bolster up morale and meet i'm
pending internal difficulties. By ex-
tending her lines in the East, he adds,
Germany has merely added to the
length of her line of communications
and increased confidence in the final
allied victory.
Text of Review in Part.

week ending October 20, in part fol-
lows:
"Our men in France, after three
months intensive training, are in
splendid physical condition and eff
cient fighting trim.
They have readily become accli-
mated and now feel at home in the

| ton on the part of the armies and

Arrest Irish Leader and Envoy OF

MANY PAPERS FOUND
German Taken by United States Sc.
cret. Service Men Turned Over
to Federal Authorities For
lnternment During War.

New York, Oct. 25.-William J..
Flynn, chief of the United States Sc
cret service, announces the arrest here
Of Liam Mellowes, one of the reccg-
nized leaders in the Sim Fem rebel
lion in Ireland on Easter Monday, 1916,
and an associate, Baron Max Won
Recklinghausen, German subject.
Mellowes is charged with obtaining
false papers to enable him to leave
the United States as an American sea
man. NJ
Won Recklinghausen, styled by Flynn
as patent engineer Of no little
ability" has been turned over to fed
eral authorities for internment during
the war. He is declared to have been
an intimate associate of Sim Feiners
Plot Papers Are Found.
A statement issued by Flynn said
papers found in Won Recklinghausen's
rooms and on his person show definite
ly that large sums of money had gone
to France for ultimate German pur-
poses.
After failure of the Irish revolution
last year, Mellowes came to the Unit
ed States, according to Flynn's state
ment. Secret service agents had him
under surveillance shortly after his ar
rival and learned or his association
with DR.. Patrick McCarton, known to
his Sim Fein associates in this coun-
try "as the first ambassador to the
United States of the Irish republic"
The statement said they plotted to
return to Ireland and McCarton ship
ped on an American steamship leav-
ing New York last Wednesday.
On advices from New York McCar-
ton was arrested at Halifax. He is
being held there for completely in the
Dublin riots and his activities in this
country since early last year, accord
ing to Flynn.
Envoy of Bernstorff.
Flynn declared that Won Reckling-
hansen "has been mentioned as an en-
voy left here by Count Won Bern
storff"
Considerable literature and papers
of interest to this government were
taken in the raid of the premises of
Mellowes and Won Recklinghausen and
it will be some time before the vari-
Gus ramifcations of this plot can be
thoroughly detailed"

Kaiser Trying to Get Hold On Country
With Land and Money.
London, Oct. 24.-Details have
reached London of a German plan to
obtain ascendancy after the war in
Denmark by ceding to Denmark a
small strip of former Danish territory
in North Schleswig, in return for "a
large sum of money" and presumably
also certain economic and commercial
concessions.
1t is suggested by the Danish Lib
eral Hovedstaden that the sum OF
money involved is that which Denmark
received from the United States as
payment for the Danish West Indies.
This newspaper strongly denounces
the German proposal, declaring that
Germany expects to. get not only
money but a hold on Denmark which
would make Denmark economically
and nationally a dependency of Ger
many.

those aboard the Antilles came with
the shock Of the explosion of the tor
pedo, many theories were current as
to how the U-boat crept through the
destroyer screen, did its work and es-
capped unchallenged.
A majority of the officers who would
comment thought the transport and
her conveying patrols had ran directly
over a lurking submarine, which saw
them coming, calculated the distance
and launched her deadly torpedo with
out ever showing more than her peri
scope. They regard it as probable
that the U-boat commander picked his
until his microphones told him the
patrols had passed and the transport
was upon him, then shot his periscope
above water only long enough to sight
and fire before he ducked back to
safety.
Rescue Work Prevents Pursuit.
Any attempt to locate the submarine
probably was made impossible by the
necessity Of rescuing the survivors.
The vessel must have been virtually
torn in half by the explosion to have
gone down in the time she did.
Probably the attack was made well
out at sea- 1t took two days for the
news to reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word
could reach Admiral Sims. The sur
vivors are believed to be already safe
ashore somewhere in France or Eng
land.
So far as known, no high officers Of
the army or navy we're due to return
on the Antilles. There is no definite
information on that point, however, as
only General Pershing knows who was
sent home on the ship. The reports
so far show that number of army
officers and 33 enlisted army men
were aboard. Evidently Admiral
Sims rushed his tidings off before he
communicated with General Pershing.
Is First Transport Hit.
The loss Of the Antilles marks the
first reduction of the transport feet
that has been operating. A very con-
siderable number Of American troops,
workmen and others involved in the
prosecution Of the war have been car
led safely to France and England and
the unsuccessful attack on the first
contingent is the only recorded previ-
Gus ,instance where the UIboats have
succeeded even in catching sight of
the vessels.

Killed While PIavino Piano. :

Sioux Falls, Oct. 24.-Ulysses Seph-
Ter, SON Of farmer living IL miles
southwest Of Wagner, was shot and
instantly killed by peculiar accident
while playing a piano. When he sat
down to play he had a revolver in his
hip pocket. Several children dancing
around the small room to the accom-

have knocked the revolver from his
pocket. When it struck the floor 1t
was discharged, the bullet striking the
young man under the jaw and coming
out on the side of his head.
