and comfort to Germany,
To accomplish this result the board

etc. which every patriotic American
citizen is expected to observe in
whole hearted fashion Every effort
win be made. the board announced,
to administer the regulations with
slightest possible detriment to busi-
ness interests, but hesitancy or weak
ness in enforcing the regulations was
declared inconeeivable when a pound
of rubber or a few bars of tin might
mean the death Of scores of Ameri-
can fighting men.
1.-THE policy will be safety first for
our soldiers regardless OF every other
consideration, the boards announce
ment stated
Persons and firms in this country
as we'll as abroad, who, before our
entrance into the war had little sym
pathy with the war time commercial
safeguards OF the allies, must be
taught that these are now matters
of the first importance to this couh-
try and violators Of the present re-
strictions need expect no favors, re-
gardTess OF how important such in
dividuals or firms may be in the busi-

BOGUS SPANISH COUNT
PLAYED NO FAvORlTES
"STUNG" EVERYONE THAT HE
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE DEALINGS WITH.

New York. Feb. 1G.-Edmund Rous-
selot, the SIS a week telephone op-
orator, who, while masquerading as
Count Edmond Rousselott di Cas-
tleot,' alleged secret agent Of the
King OF Spain. applied for a loan OF
$50,000,000 from j. p. Morgan &
company will be arraigned in court
here next Tuesday. Rousselot was
indicted under the espionage act, one
of the charges being that he forged
a government permit to visit all war
ships in the harbor.
Further investigation of his me-
teoric career has prevailed that he
made the acquaintance of an heir
ess, having been introduced by a
British naval officer who believed in
his bogus credentials and Westchester
county seals and that he paid marked
attention to her until he was arrested
for impersonating a French diplomat
The federal officials said that some
Of his friends still believed in him
after his arrest and one woman from
whom he had borrowed ten thousand
dollars few days ago, pleaded for
>his release.
Among his effects the authorities
found an expensive Morocco bound
address book which contained the
names and telephone numbers of
some of the most prominent men and
women of New York City.
II also developed that Rousselot
was fond of motoring and during his
brief career had no less than five
expensive cars, all bought on the
trial system" and all turned back
to the agents as unsatisfactory, when
the time came to pay for them.

GERM AN PAPERS EXPRESS
ALARM OYER SITUATION


New York, Feb. 16-Germany has
suddenly found herself involved in a
maze of difficulties on the western
front and in danger OF losing all the
| large benefits she was calmly prepar-
ing to realize from her peace from
the Ukraine and the Bolshevii with
drawal of Russia from the war.
Poland, that land which so fire.
ouently in the course Of history has
proved a thorn in the side of military
conquerors, is threatening to consti-
tute herself the rock upon which the
German hope of peace and gainful ex-
ransion in the eastern front shall be
shattered. Embittered by the tearing
off of a strip of their territory to be
given the Ukraine for breaking away
from the Bolshevild and making
peace with tho central powers. the
Poles are in what appears to be vir--
tually a state of revolt.
Even the very weapon with which
Germany and Austria were at such
pains in the hope Of deriving military
benefit, the Polish army, bids fair to
Je turned against them. Reports in
the German newspapers which ex-
press dismay and alarm over the Pol
ish situation indicate that the Polish
legions. now an effective military
force. are on the side of the prevalent
Polish sentiment OF bitterness against
the imperial powers
The situation has grown so serious
that the military are patrolling the
streets in Warsaw Austria-Hungary

culties because Of the prominent part
in which it was expected she would
play in the future government Of
Poland The Polish elements ana
those sympathzing with them in the
dual monarchy are up in arms over
the situation and further internal
troubles are threatened.
Turning to the north it already has
been reported that Germany purposes
resuming military operations against
northern Russia. The probable Ger
man purpose to attack the Bolsheyiki
is also indicated in a Vienna dispatch
declaring that ii Germany decided to
resume military operations against
Russia "the att ude of Austria" would
not he influenced thereby This would
seem to mean that Austria Intends to
leave Germany to fight the battle
alone in north Russia. Whether she
hopes to keep mp connec tions with the
Petrograd government meanwhile Is
not clear, bit Sofia dispatch de-
c!3res that Bulgaria is doing that very
thing having resumed diplomatic re-
lations with Russia
However, all the central powers are
in agreement over the situation, it is
declared.

alton at the front shows few signs for

Hutchison's refusal to leaev set

board tonight the statement that the
carpenters organization. of all the
trades engaged in ship building, hss
declined to let it adjust difficulties.
Hutchison. they said. agreed TO let
the board fix wages and hours OF
labor, but steadfastly refused to leave

the labor, including the question OF
the open or closed shop.
Officers of the American Fedora
