United States Accused by Germany of Raising a Fund to Cause

SUB WARFARE FAILURE
Anniversary Today of a Year of Ruthless Sub Warfare Without
 Results.

UNDATED Gro The Associated Press) .-0ne year of ruthless sub marine warfare on the part of Ger many today brought from Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the British Admiralty, the announcement that with the anniversary comes dis closures from Dutch newspapers that the German military and Hnan- cial authorities expected the sub marines would defeat England in side of six months, after the or der was given to German com manders, and the request of the United States for the protection of merchant ships not to be sunk with out warning, was ignored.
 Sir Geddes said that instead of the plans of Germany being real ized the sinking of merchant ves- sells has dropped below the level maintained before the policy of un- limited destruction was put in force, bringing on the war with the United States.
 The First Lord of the Admiralty ldded that the strike situation in Germany, according to publication by German newspapers, was due to m alleged Anglo-American plot to spread dissention among the Cen tral Powers. He said the German papers claim that .250, ,000, 900 marks were raised in Washington for the use of an organization which was to start revolts and strikes throughout Germany and the countries of her Allies. The Germans claim enemy aviators have been pressed into service among others to distribute seditious literature.
 Information is received that the German military have used threats of force with a view of crushing the strike movement, but that all measures so far employed have not yet been successful.

Was One of the Foremost Figures in the PugiIist
 Ring of the
 World. MAS P0RM IN R0CT0M
Passed a Number of Years of His Life on a Farm Before Entering
 Ring.

ABINGTON, Mass, Feb. 2.-John l. Sullivan, the worlds greatest pugilist, died today. He was the last heavyweight champion of the United States to fight under the London prize ring rules.
 Sullivan's death was due to heart trouble.
 No funeral arrangements have been made.
 Sullivan said himself that he made two millions in the fghting business and that he spent one mil lion of it in buying drinks for him self and his host of admirers
 He had knocked out two hundred men, of one sort or another in his fighting career, and finally he said that in a saloon in Terre. Haute Ind, in 1905, he gave the "Black Bottle" his greatest enemy, the knock out wallop. On the occasion of the decision with regard to the Black Bottle, he said:
 IT l tdht duDtHtI uIlHh, I uOp' l choke so help me God!" He nev- CT took another, but kept up his fight for temperance by lccturins occasionally on the evils of drink for those who had athletic ambi- tions.
 He was born in Boston, October 15, 1858, and passed the later years of his life on farm which he own cd near West Abingdon, Mass. He was twice married. His first wife was Annie Bates, of Centerville, k l.. whom he married in 1882, but with whom he lived only few months and from whom he obtained divorce on the ground Of deser ton after twenty-six years. Al fifty-one years of age the former champion took his second wife, katC Haskins, of RoXbury, who was his sweetheart years before when Ii, was the Boston Strong Boy"
 The second Mrs. Sullivan died few months ago.

The only other development Of the
case yesterday was.a further anraveI.
ing Of the mystery of the Cbinaman
who is said to have disposed OF. gold
foil to local dentists which had come
through the post office special delivery
section.
DR.. John =. Cowes, dentist, who has
offices on Alakea Street, said yester
day that young Chinese boy, who
corresponds with the description Of a
mysterious Chinese who loitered out
side the post Office late at night, had
attempted to sell, him gold foil as long
as seven weeks ago. A test of the gold
which was offered for sale showed il
to he twenty-five carat, but it was
offered at such q low price that the
suspicious Of the dentist were aroused
He said, in addition, that the boy had
admitted that Mehm had given him
the gold. The amount of gold offered
was worth about $125.

mot TO
Be PUT TO DEATH
Recommendation That Supreme
Penalty Be Imposed Is Dis
approved BY Secretary Baker

Mator-Geherai George c. Treat, U. s.
A., Formerly In command of the Ha'
waiian Department. aud NOW command.
ing the Thirty-sesenth national guard
division, recently recommended to the
war Department. that the death penalty
be imposed TO check idesertions in the
army and. bring soldiers to a realization
Of The gravity OF that Offense, but Sec
rotary Of War Baker disaPproved the
recommendation.
General Treat based his recommends
tioa on the number of desertions from
his command, composed almost entirely
Of Ohio troops stationed at Camp Sheri
dan. Montgomery, Alabama.
It would be unwise at this time,
Secretary Baker held, for the war de-
partment TO formulate q definite policy.
but he instructed the adjutant general
to issue bulletin to the army pointing
ont, the seriousness with which deser
ton must be regarded in time Of war
The secretary acted on an opinion by
the Judge, advocate general which held
there L. d clearly drawn difference be
tween Edesertion from training camps
in this country and dPsPrtiOns in the
zone Of hostilities.
Different In France
The plain intimation is given. how.
ever. that men who desert in France
NAV expect no leniency.
The number of cases Of desertiOn
from the Thirty seventh division or
from Other army units is not available.
"There undoubtedly will occur in
this war," said Brigadier General Sam,
mel T. Ansell, acting judge advocate
general of the army who wrote the
opinion on which Secretary Baker
based his disapproval. Ceases Of deser-
tion in whichit will be necessary to in

in the theater Of war, at points Of EN-.
harkation. in the line of communica-
tons or such other places as to indi-
cote cowardiee or an active spirit Of
diRlovalty. drastic penalties are very
often justified.
'It is very seriously doubted IL the
j." DOsition of the supreme penalty in
This country, where desertion occurs
from training and mobilization camps
far removed from. the theater Of hostil
ties. would be justified or sustained by
the sentiment of the country.

1T is peculiarly true that the fear

Tense. The most, effective preventive
is the development Of proper military
spirit and an appreciation of the fact
that to desert the time of war is "
