STRIKE IN GERMANY ENDS
Labor Leaders, Spurred by Death
Threat, Tell Men to End Trouble
400 Workers Fined.

London, Feb. 5.-With the exception
of a new movement at Jena, reported
by the Tageblatt of Berlin, the Ger
man strikes appear virtually to have
ended. About third of the work
men at Jena are reported out.
The leaders of the strikers, spurred
by the death threat of the government,
advised that work be resumed.
German newspapers record no dis
turbances in Berlin.
The directors IF the Krupp works
report, according to the Cologne Ga
zette, that only 400 out of 10000
workmen went on strike and that these
were fined or dismissed.
The latest news concerning the Ger
man strike situation appearing in the
morning papers is confirmatory of the
Berlin announcement that the move
ment is dying out.

have occurred, we must not allow any
reported disturbances within the Ger

or speed of our own preparations.

+ GERMAN SPIES
ARE FOUND GUILTY
RinteIen and Aids Convicted OF
Plot to Sink Ships.
CAUSED 100000 DAMAGE
Kaiser's Agents Sentenced to Eighteen
Months in the Penitentiary and
Fined $2,00o-Had
100000 Fund.

New York, Feb. 6-Franz Rintelen,
German agent, and ten co-defendants,
all Germans, were found guilty by a
federal jury on Tuesday of conspirlng
to destroy munition and food ships OF
the entente allies.
Each man convicted was sentenced
to 10 months in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga, and to pay a tine or 81
0O0 This is the maximum penalty.
The defendants were characterized
as ''murderers at heart" by United
States Assistant District Attorney
James w. Osborne, Jr., in summing up
for the government. He asked for
verdict of guilty, declaring the prose
cution had proved it's case.
'"These men were willing to strike
neutral in the back in order to prove
loyalty to the fatherland."
Plan DastardIy Crime.
Mr.. Osborne added: Let us assume
that the German government knew
nothing about the plot, but the fact re-
mains that these conspirators planned
this dastardly crime"
The attorney attacked the defense
of some of the accused that they
thought they were making bombs for
a legitimate purpose and asserted
that Rintelen had opened bank ac-
count for 100000 in an international
bank indicating existence of fund
for the alleged conspiracy.
The alleged conspiracy involved also
the shipment of bombs to the Pacific
coast to be placed on vessels sailing
for the Orient. In all 33 ships valued
at more than $4000,O00 were said to
have been damaged.

SUBS" SUNK FAST AS BUILT
Representative Miller Who Visited
France Praises Admiral Sims for
Methods Adopted to Fight U-Boats.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Representative
Miller, who recently visited the battle
front in France, told the house that he
believed German submarines are be-
ing destroyed about as rapidly as Ger
many can build them. He praised Vice
Admiral Sims for the methods he had
adopted with American destroyers and
cruiser conveys to combat the subma-
rine menace, and argued that Ameri-
can shipping should be handled by ma
val officers and not by the shipping
board. There were no Americans in
the crews of the two transports on
which he crossed the Atlantic, he said.
Mr. Miller said that during the last ten
months three times as many subma-
rines have been destroyed as were de-
stroyed during the previous two and a
half years.

ALL ENEMY ALIENS
IN u. S. REGISTER
Germans Must Comply With the Pres
ident's Order-Women and
Children Exempt.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Uncle Sam is
soon to have a complete card index of
the enemy aliens within his borders.
Work of registering the half-million
unnaturaliZed Germans in the CONT
mental United States, with view to
minimizing the danger of hostile acts
by enemy aliens, started today. This
is in pursuance to President Wilson's
recent enemy alien proclamation, and
police, federal marShals, agents and
postal authorities will cooperate in the
big roundup.
1t had been planned to register only
those Germans who were residents of
the larger Eastern cities, but when
the department of justice realized that
the object of the registration might be
defeated by the shifting about OF
aliens, the order was issued to include
all in the United States.
The order does not apply to women
and to children under fourteen years
of age, and natives of Hungary
will not have to be listed. After reg
istration he must carry certificate
showing that he has complied with the
regulations, and will not be allowed to
change his place of residence without
first gaining the approval of the police
or postal authorities. Those who fail
to comply with the regulations will be
amenable to punishment by intern
ment for the period of the war.

TRANSPORTS ARE READY
TO CARRY u. S. TROOPS
Secretary Daniels Backs Baker Who
Said 100000 Soldiers Would Soon
Be in France.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Secretary Dan
iels authorized the statement that the
navy is assured of enough transport
facilities to make sure that there will
be 100000 American troops in France
early this year, as was stated by Sec
rotary Baker recently before the SEN
ate military committee.
Secretary Bakers statement to the
senate military committee that the
United States would have 100000 sol
diers in France early this year and that
prospects were not unprOmising for
ships to carry 100000 more, who
would be ready in the course of the
year, was characterized by Senator
Hitchcock in an address to the SEN
ate as absolutely preposterous and
so exaggerated as to convey
an entirely false impression as to
what we can do and what he are do
ing"
Supporting the committees bills for
war cabinet and munitions director,
Senator Hitchcock, who is a Demo-
crat, declared that Secretary Baker
was, no doubt, sincere, but was miSled
by lack of information regarding
scarcity of ships into making sanguine
predictions. He said President Wilson
himself 'does not know the real stu
ation," and cited this as an illustration
of the absence of government co-Or-
dinatiOn.
In fiery fashion Senator Williams
replied to Senator Hitchcock's attack
on Secretary Bakers statement. He
said the Nebraska senator had made
"a very strong indictment" against the
executive departments of the govern
ment and had ''given information very
valuable to the enemy" eff what the
senator from Nebraska says is true"
he continued, ''we are out of the war.
If his Indictment is true, we are al
ready defeated" The continental con-
gress, he added, CAME very near ruin
ing General Washington, land all the
asses that ever existed came very near
running Lincoln and Grant in the Civil
war. Congress or a council cannot
carry on the war and cannot furnish
the brains for anybody else to do it,"
said he.
mo other people ever turned from
a peace establishment and within nine
months converted themselves so near
ly complete into war machine" Sem
ator Williams shouted.
