above his desk He was completes
ly baffled; worse than that, he
felt himself shaken and unncrvcd
in face Of this mysterious peril.
A copy of this order was sent to
every fortress in Germany. and
it is therefore not remarkable that,
three days after it was issued. it
should be i'm the hands OF NJ. Del
casse. He read it with a lively
! pleasure. He was beginning to m
JOY life again. He knew thai the
tone OF his ultimatum had aston
lsbed the German ambassadors;
but he also knew, that, while the
German press still talked OF The
national honor and of G~crmany's
duty to Morocco, the inner circle
about the emperor was distinctly
ill at ease. The emperor himself
had been invisible for some days,
and was reported to be suffering
with a severe cold.
After reading the order, Del
casse summoned Marbcau.
"How do your plans shape
themselves?" he asked.
Admirably, sir answered the
wireless chief. 'sWp shall be ready

When is the test to take

joined; ''but we are not taking
that chance. All our instruments
will be tuned and tested before we
start. The Germans will hear those
signals but once"
A little tremour passed cross
Delcasse' s face.
"You believe in this invention"
he asked. "You have investigated
it?"
Marbeau shrugged his shout

of it. But yes-I believe; when |

Delcasse was pacing to and fro,
his hands behind him.
"Sopetimes / doubt, Marbeau,"
he said. "Sometimes | doubt. The
destruction of La Liberte may
have been one of those strange CO.
medicines which sometimes hap

idea Of this demonstration. For
Morocco we no longer need it; I
have in my possession a paper
which will win that battle for us.
But then, when | falter, the

me. So | stand aside and let the

again, Marbeau, to be most car

of little consequence-we can al

into the hands of Germany; and
for you and for Ward it must be

U-BCATS NOW OPERATE
FAR OFF U. S. COAST
Interesting Developments in Pres

Given Out.

LONDON, Thursday, September s.
A number of interesting developments
in and aspects of the present naval
situation have just been made avail
able from an authoritative source.
For one thing, when German sub
marines first appeared off the Ameri-
can coast naval experts in London
formed the opinion that the move was
merely a feint to draw off American
anti-submarine craft from European
waters. They argued that it was I'M
possible for Germany to maintain
such long distance operations. How
ever, it is pointed out, both cruiser
submarines and mine layers are
working far af1eld and worrying
American shipping along the Allan
tic coast.
The general tendency of the U-boats
now is to operate farther from the
shore, at some points from 200 to $50
miles out.
There are no submarines in the
Dardanelles, it is revealed, while the
movable barrier established by the
allies in the Straits of Otranto, at the
entrance to the Adriatic, is response

The losses of German submarines
in the Adriatic since 1917 have been

The British are active in the Helgo-
land blight and are carrying out op-
erations with various kinds Of light
forces in the North sea, the average
number Of such operations being no
less than five daily. The number OF

GROWS|N GERMANY
Alarming Outbreaks Occur
Among Bavarians and ST.
Iesians in Army.
By the Associated Press.

Oy tne Associated Press.
LONDON, September General de-
moralization of the German popula-
ton and widespread and growing dis
affection in the German army, accom-
panied by mutiny and desertions. are
described in a dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from it's Rotterdam corre-
spondent under date of Thursday.
The correspondent says that informa-
tion reaching him is so sensational
as to inspire skepticism. but declares
that he has received corroboration
from authoritative sources which es-
tablishes the authenticity of the in
formation beyond a doubt.
Filled With Dependency.
He asserts that the German army is
filed with dependency and seething
with mutinous spirit and that alarm
ing outbreaks have occurred in sew
eral units, principally Bavarian and
Silesian. One incident on the Arras
front terminated in a whole Bavar1an
division being disarmed and trans
ported to Bavaria, where it was placed
in a prison camp, and the mutiny of
one of the Silesian regiments, result
ing in nearly one hundred of its men
being executed.
A huge number of desertions is oc-
curing. the correspondent says, and
it is estimated that there are more
than 10000 deserters in Berlin alone.
Large numbers are scattered through
out the country and the authorities
are having the greatest difficulty in
trailing deserters, owing to the con-
nivance of the working classes.
Nevertheless, hundreds have been ar
rested and generally these have been
sentenced to fifteen years imprison-
ment. A great number of imprisoned
deserters, broken by solitary confine-
ment, have been released and sent
back to the ranks.
Workers Slowing Up.
Disobedience and defiance of officers
are common at the front, according to
the correspondents information. and
a similar spirit is shown in the mu-
milton factories, where the workers
deliberately are slowing up. with the
result that the output has been
seriously decreased.

In response to the many complaints
from householders in Washington about
the advancing milk prices, the local ad-
ministrator gave positive assurance sew
eral weeks ago that the milk prices
would be quoted on the fair price list

a check on the advancing prices. He is
