 Being an Enemy Alien.

Boston, July 24-Ohwald Kunhardt, formerly German and Austrian con- sul in this city. was arrested today. as an enemy alien at his home in Manchester and brought here. Fed- eral officers refused to confirm or de- Ly a report that tne arrest was con nected with submarine activity eff the coast
 It was admitted, however, that in- formation in the possession of the of fcjals indicated that the arrest was of more than ordinary importance.

MOBILIZATION OF RUSSIAN | ARMY NOT ALARMING
Regarded in Washington as an Effort
 to Raise a Draft Army.

Washington, July 24.-The mobiliza- ton of the Russian army, as an- nounced in reports today from Mos COW via Amsterdam is not regarded as @ matter of serious moment by state officials. In some quar- ters it was regarded as simply an- other effort to raise the draft army which Leon Trotzky, Bolsheviki min ister of war. declared to be the only solution to the military shaos of the Russian republic.
 The suggestion was made that the Russian government might send its new army to drive out the allied and American forces in the Mourmansk peninsula, but it was explained that this would be almost impossible as it would mean the transportation of the army 800 miles over extremely dif1i- cult territory without means of sup ply.
 The Polsheviki assured the German ! government that it's own army would i protect the German embassy in Mos COW when Germany asked to be al- ! lowed to send battalions to that city after the assassination of Count Won
 Mirbach At that time the govern ment had no army except on paper
 and 1t is believed here that the mo- l bilization on July was to make good i the pledge to Germany.

GIANT LINER JUSTIcIA
 SUNK OFF IRISH COAST
Ten Members of the Crew Were Kill ed-Ten Torpedees Were Used.

An Irish Port. Monday, July 22 (As- sociated Press) The giant liner Jus ticia, formerly the Dutch steamer
 Statendam, was torpedoed and sunk off the north Irish coast on Saturday morning last She carried a. crew of between 500 and 700. Ten members of the crew are dead. No passengers
 were lost. One of the crew of the Justicia is quoted by the Belfast Eve
 ming Telegraph as saying that ten tor pedoes were discharged at the Justicia. Four of the approaching missiles, he added. were exploded by gunfire from the ship
 Four hundred of the crew of the torpedoed Justicia have been landed at an Irish port They report that the liner was sunk after a twenty four hour fight with submarines. The first todpedo struck the engine room and the ship then stopped. Sev- eral other torpedoes were fired. but only two were effective. The story oi the fight between the U-boat and the } Justicia, if it could be told, would make one of the finest stories in the annals of anti ubmarine warfare Nothing which has occurred in con- nection with the sinking of the liner gives navy men any cause for mis. givings over the submarine war. The defensive measures and methods showed to excellent advantage ard | indicate that the entente naval forces
 can always be counted on to make tht
 enemy pay dearly for every attemp l he makes.
 l The Belfast Telegraph says that ianC | had been lost sight of when a terrific
 explosion shook the Justicia. Tn, crew was speedily mustered on decl but it was soon ascertained that tht | damage was so trivial that the line, would remain afloat for suficien 1 period to enable her to be lowed t. port.
 1 A tug pulled alongside the liner fo this purpose when two more torpedoe l were fired by Q submarine which hat
 not been sighted These missiles pass ed between the liner and the tug Fur ther attempts were made by the sub marine to torpedo the Justicia dur ing Friday night, but ali failed an,
 it was not until Saturday morning an
 after the submarine had expended nu merous tornedoes that the destruction
 was accomplished
 The final attempt was made at eigh
 o'clock on Saturday morning when tw i torpedoes hit the ship. One struck tn engine room, causing a violent ex 1 plosion and the ether penetrated forehold. The liner was in tow at tn time as she di dnot sink until two O clock in the afternoon there was tim to transfer the crew to other rescuin

No Army Officers
 in Raincoat Graft
FORMAL STATEMENT MADE BY
 WAR DEPARTMENT
NOT EVEN SUSPECTED
Statement Denounces as Entirely Un- rounded Any Inference Tending to Involve Army Officers in Accusations of WroH1doing.

Washington. July 24.-A formal statement from the war department tooay denounced as entirely unfound- ca any lnferences tending to involve army officers in accusations of wrong oolng in connection with the contracts for army raincoats The statement follows
 Robert J. Thorne, assistant to the actlng quartermaster general, after a preliminary investigation in regard to the raincoat inspection scandal in New York, states that any suspicious or the integrity of the army officers IS apparently without a shred of evil dence to substantiate the statements. The entire situation has been greatly magnltled to the extent that a grave injustice is ping done to the reputa ton of the army officers.
 Defends Integrity of Officers.
 It is impossible to meet the emer- gency of suddenly equipping the army without a few sporadic instances o1 dishonesty coming to the surface, but It IS an outrage to have such instances maSnlhed into an unjust accusation oi army officers; but, fortunately, the in. tesrity of the army officers is so wei | understood by the general public that very few people give any credence tc these unfounded accusations.
 The investigation of the raincoa l inspection system was made at tht lnstigation of the quartermaster corps which realized that with thousands O new civilian inspectors obtained | through the civil service commission here and there a dishonest one would be taken on. It is firmly believed b! 1 the department that the final inspec 1 ton conducted at the depot will detec all raincoats not properly fabricated.
 Inspectors Are Civilians.
 | Department of justice officials il announcing the discovery of frauds il connection with raincoat production 1 indicated that only few army off cers were under suspicion of irregu lar conduct with contractors. The did not imply corruption among an large proportion of army officers, mos of whom, it was recognized, have dem
 onstrated their honesty. Most in
 spectors involved in the corruptio, disclosed by the department of justic l in New York are civilians.
