CAMP MILLS, Long Island, juno 8.
Captain William Whaling. Of this
camp and his wife were reunited to-
day, after an interval of three years,
during which accidents and the vicissi-
tudes Of army life kept them apart,
although Mrs. Whaling crossed the Pa
cihc and travelled from Alaska to Mex
leo to find her husband.
In the early summer Of 1915, three
months after their marriage, Captain
Whaling was ordered from the Pacific
Coast to the Philippines. He left his
bride in California until he should find
suitable quarters for her in his new
post.
That task was more difficult than he
expected, and it was several months
before a cable message summoned Mrs.
Whaling to Manila. Soon after her
ship sailed Captain Whaling was or
dered back to this country. Somewhere
in the Pacific, likely enough at the line
where the days hop off of the west
bound ships and on to homeward-
bound vessels, their ships passed.

her husband explaining the mischance

But Governors Scouts AID.
nit That Brooklyn Is
Doubtful Quantity
Hope for Third Ticket
Believe Opposition to Execu-
tive Is Divided; Point
to War Record

The supporters Of Governor Whit
man, after a preliminary canvass of
New York and Bronx counties, said
yesterday that if there was opposition
to the Governor In either county among
the members of the State committee
and district leaders they were unable
to discover it. They expect to match
against detection in Brooklyn the solid
support Of the New York and Bronx
organizations.
These same political scouts admit
they do not know what will happen in
the primaries, as it is long while,
politically, vill September 3, but they
profess confidence in the ability of the
Governor to carry every assembly dis
trict in the two counties named.
With Brooklyn it is different. The
Whitman men admit Brooklyn is a
dad" spot for them, but are confident
of getting more than half the votes in
the primaries. Their hope is based on
the belief that the opposite to the
Governor is divided-that ex-senator
Bennett will make good his threat to
run third ticket, cutting down the
vote that would go to one candidate,
If there were only one.
John j. Knewitz, leader Of the or
ganlzatlon IN the Bronx, Is IN the
Whitman camp. and told the Governor
on Friday that things were looking
, bright for him. Congressman Ber-
trand H. Smell, Of Potsdam, reported at
Republican state headquarters yester-
day that there was not much in the
reported opposition among farmers to
Governor Whitman.
"The Republican farmers in my part
of the state are going to vote the Re-
publican ticket, as usual" said Mr..
Smell. "In my judgment the thing that
is going to win for Governor Whitman
is the fact that he has helped the En-
pire State make a good war record.
If state official has been right on the
war-if he has shown zeal and results
in helping to hold up our end as a
state-the Republicans are going to
support him.
"That's about all the people are talk
ing about-the war. I've seen consid-
cradle in the papers about the farmers
being hostile to Whitman. The farm
ers are like everybody else. Their
boys and relatives are in the war
They are for supporting che President
and they are for supporting the Gov
ernor. Little issues don't count in a
year like this. The great question the
candidates will have to meet this
year is:

GERMAN OFFICER
HEADS spy PLOT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-Feder-
al officials believe they will be able
to prove the existence of a spy plot
extending through Russia, Sweden and
the United States, as the result of the
indictment here yesterday of Allardt
Won den Mussche Muench and Edward
Muench, alias Kurt Bruner, is said
to be a nephew of former German am
bassador Count Won Bernstorff. The
suspicious of a sailor on Pacific liner
on which the men arrived here on
April g. 1917, led to their arrest. Sc
cret papers are said to have been
found sewed in the clothing of
Muench
Muench is reported to have been a
German officer captured by Cossacks
early in the war. Zacho, reputed head
of the spy system in Stockholm, was
sent to procure his release and finally
reached China with him. They
reached here on forged passports, it
is alleged. Muench was taken to An
gel Island internment camp, and
Zacho, arrested some time later, has
been helo at Ellis Island, N. Y. They
will be brought here for trial.
