 TO CREATE REVOLT IN INDIA
Total of Prison Terms 23 2-3 Years
 Fines TotaIIed S64,ooo.

San Francisco, April 30-One lurid chapter in the history of Germany's intrigue to win mastery of the world was closed today when United States District Judge William B. Van Fleet pronounced sentence upon twenty nine Germans, Americans and Hindus convicted of having eonspired to over throw, British rule in India.
 The trial of the principals in the world wide conspiracy was series of sensations, including exposes of crim- inal German diplomacy and the shoot ing to death Of two Hindu defendants in the courtroom week ago.
 The total of the prison terms inn posed was twenty three and two-th years and the fines totaled s64.000.
 Louis T. Hengstler. San Francisco admiralty lawyer. was the only de- fendant to escape a prison sentence. Judge Van Fleet remitted jail term of four months after Hengstler made plea to the court asserting his Americanism and denouncing German imperialism. A fine of $5,000 remain ed against him..
 Guilt for the conspiracy was placed squarely on the German supreme command. Judge Van Fleet charac- terizing the Hindu conspirators as mere catspaws of the ruthless Prus- sian military system"

 that serious troubles appear to have broken out in Petrograd and that monarchical restoration is likely to follow in favor of the former -czaro- witch, Alexis .Nicolaivitch.
 The Petit Journal writes:
 Germany Eager for Intervention.
 . Prudence should. all the more be followed in this matter because it is to the greatest interest of the Germans that troubles should arise in Petrograd to justify an intervention for which they are ready. Their divisions which the fighting with the Films are already at Viborg, situated on the north bank or the gulf, hundred or so kilometers rom the Russian capital. Finally, it must be remembered that the German minister at Stockholm has been for long time conducting a campaign in favor of a monarchist restoration in Russia. All that would explain, if ex- plantations were ready, the eagerness of the Berlin government to spread these sensational reports which serve it's designs and intrigues.

PORT, TERMINAL AND HARBoR
 IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION
Created to Link Railroads and Ship.
 ping Lines and Eliminate Delays.

Washington, April 30.-With view to speeding the arrival and departure of ships in American ports, govern ment departments having to do with overseas transportation today created a port. terminal and harbor improve ment commission to be put in charge of all port facilities The commis- sion's first aim will be to so link the railroads and shipping lines that un- necessary delays will be eliminated.
 Edward F. Carry, director of opera tions for the shipping board, heads the committee which has as it's other members Benjamin D. WincheT, rep resenting the railroad administration; S. M. Felton. representing the war de- partment; Captain A. c. Hodgson, representing the navy: Dr. Edwin F. Gay, of the War Trade Board J. H. Rossiter, of the Pacific Mail Line, and George s. Dearborn. of the American Hawaiian Line.
 The commission will put into full operation system, already started, of freight diversion under which ships will load and unload at the less con gested ports. The plan calls for an arrangement by which both exports and imports will be handled through ports which will require the least amount of railroad transportation.
 As a part of programme for utiiiz- ing more fully southern ports the commission will be given authority to build drydocks and ship repair plants for the shipping board In improving port facilities it will work with mu- nicipalities, many of which already have spent large sums in harbor i'm proVements

Greenwich.

According to their story. they were each driving one and towing another car when their assailants, whom they were all lowing to ride with them, beat them up in a lonely spot near here and made off in one of the automobiles.

Again there has come pause in the battle in Flanders, where the ground everywhere is covered with the gray clad bodies of Germans dead and the British and French are holding secure ly to all their positions.
 From Saturday until we'll into Mon day night General Won Arnin's forces continued their efforts to break the British lines on the Ypres salient and Co press back the British and French from the high ground to the southwest, but everywhere their efforts were fruitless. True, they gained their ob- jective and again captured Loere, but a counter thrust forced them out again and at last accounts the French were holding the village.
 In the hilly region just to the north of Locre the British also pushed back the enemy at several points notably between Eemmel and La Clytte.
 Mush of the snap of the German at tscl<inC forces has been absent from the manoeuvres they have been car ryinr out in Flanders under the stiff fest line of the entente troops. which has been apparent since last Sun day.

FURTHER PLANS FOR
 INCREASING THE ARMY
Are to Be Laid Before the House Military Committee by Secretary Baker.


 Washington, April S0.-Pans for increasing the war army to keep pace with the accelerated movement of American soldiers to the battle front in France will be laid before the house military committee by Secretary Ba- ker within a day or two. MT. Baker said today after prolonged session of the cabinet that he would be ready to submit his estimates in that time
 What increase is to be asked has not been disclosed but the report most widely circulated is that an ad- ditional million men will be provided for in the appropriation bills submit ted, bringing the army up to more than 3,000,000 men.
 It is known that a very careful sur- yey of the equipment and transporta- tion situations was completed by the war department recently as a basis for formulating army increase plans. The provost marshal generals office has taken steps to ascertain in defi- nlte figures the exact number of fighting men still available in class one of the selectiye service forces and recommendations for authority to | organize additional divisions and es- inmates for appropriations have been 1 held up pending the completion of lIleS6 SLuul6S.
 Previous plans contemplated the mobilization of an additional 800 0OO men during the present year. This project represented the filling up tc full strength of all existing divisions and the erection in France b1<ore ske end of the year of a full field army under General Pershing, with an am- pie reserve to keep the fighting ranks full at all times.
 | Plans for the equipment of troops were based on this project. it is un- derstood, and in considering proposals to enlarge the programme extensively | the prospective of shortage of uni. forms and other equipment as wei as of transportation must be consid. cred. There is little disposition tc call men to the colors and further de. range industrial life in the countr, unless there is good prospect thal they can be sent abroad within a req. sonable time.
 The accelerated movement of troop! to Europe is proceeding smoothly, ant 1 officials are much encouraged by tht showing of the transportation service Secretary Baker has, been in freduen
 conference lately with Lord Reading British ambassador, and the aid ir
 transporting soldiers Great Britain can furnish probably will play a par in determining the size of the en llarged army.
