WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Thirty
members Of the crew Of the American
army transport Mount Vernon, for
merly the North German Lloyd liner
kronprinzcssin Cecilie, were killed by
the explosion of torpedo which struck
the vessel last Thursday when she was
two hundred miles from the French
coast, homeward bound.
The passengers included Senator j.
Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, who was
among those safely landed after the
transport ret'lrned to French port
under her own steam.
Vice-Admiral Sims reported to the
Navy Department to-day that the tor
pedo struck the transport on the star
board side, flooding No. 4 fireroom, but
age. Navy officials assumed, however,
that since the vessel was able to reach
port under her own power she was not
badly damaged.
The men killed were firemen, engine
men and water tenders, and probably
were on duty in the flooded freroom

Won Hertling Called
Kaiser's 'Gravedigger'
BY German Publisher
Chancellor's Reform Speech
Makes All Factions of
Press Angry

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 8.~The at
tempt Of the imperial German Chan
cellor, Count Won Hcrtling, to ride two
horses simultaneously in his speech in
the Prussian House of Lords recently
appears to have resulted in his falling
hard between them, judging by press
comments. That portion of the press
favoring real Prussian franchise re-
form is disappointed and disgruntled
by the Chancellor's ambiguous warn
ing that the Lords could avoid too far
reaching concessions by accepting re-
form measures now, and the Conserva-
tive press is up in arms over his ap-
peal for acceptance of reforms as pro
lection and maintenance of the crown
and dynasty"
The agrarian "Deutsche Tageszeit-
ung" calls Hertling "the Prussian mon
arch's gravedigger."
The "Kreuz Zeitung" attacks Won
Hertling for minimizing the crowns
deserts and exaggerating the Socialists
services, and darkly warns him that
they resist the unjustifed demands of
the masses. but because they "lct
themselves be forced down to the dan
gerous level of compromises"
The PanGerman "DeutSche Zeitung"
declares that equal suffrage would be
an undisguised surrender to the anti
monarchists' will, which would cndan-
ger the dynasty and the crown.

Lost to Red Guard
Bolsheviki Front
Cracks Under Strain
Quick Action Will Permit
Allies to Drive Into
Centre of Country
(Bu The Associated Press)

NLAD1VOSTOK, Sept. (delayed)
The Japanese military staff has been
Informed that the Czecho-S Slovaks hold
the railway from Olovyanna to Penza.
Olovyanna is in Transbaikalia about
400 miles east of Lake Baikal, while
Penza is on the railroad a little more
than 800 miles southeast of Petrograd.
1he distance between Olovyanna and
Penza is nearly 1000 miles.
1t is now apparent that the unex-
pected climax in the Czecho-S -Slovak
break through was due partly to the
Allied advance toward Khabarovsk,
which caused the transfer of a large
Bolshevik force from Lake Rakal tow
ard Khabarovsk, and the weakened
front collapsed under the Czech press
urc from the west and General Semen
offs pressure from the east.
The opportunity is now presented Of
the Allies taking advantage OF the
strategical points in the hands Of the
Czechs to move into the heart of Rus
sla, where considerable reinforcements
from loyal Russian elements are GER
tain, and striking stunning blow at
Germany. 1t is necessary, however, to
move quickly. for it is believed Ger
many will make the greatest sacrifices
to hold conquered Russian territory.

WASHINGTON, Sept. SC. A. Lind

pacihst member of Congress, author of
"Why Is Your Country at War;" an
anti-war book, and recent NonP Partisan
League candidate for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination in Minnesota
/ is being considered for an important
position in the War Industries Board,
it became kown tonight
Protests from Minnesota against
Lindbergh because of his anti-war ac-
tiyities were responsible for the in
formation becoming public. No one
connected with the War Industries
Board would say anything definite on
the subject. Alexander Legge, vice
chairman of the board, said no state
mcnt would be made about the possible
appointment of Mr. Lindbergn.
Lindbergh's anti-war book and rec
ord of his other activities against the
war have been placed before the War
| Industries Board in an effort to block
his appointment.
1t is understood Lindbergh has been
selected to take charge of an educa-
tional campaign for the Priorities
Board. His duty will be to inform the
public why this industry or that in
dustry should have priority on war ma.
terials and fuel, so the war can be
more quickly won.
Mnnesotans who have protested the
appointment are asking whether the
reputation of Lindbergh and his anti
war book by the Minnesota voters has
served to qualify him to take charge
of such important propaganda work for
the government.
Recommendation that Lindbexgh be
given the publicity job came from
Minnesota and originated in the Non
Partisan League. Strong pressure has
been brought to bear in his favor by
certain officials of the Administration.
Opponents of Lindbergh's appointment
say the whole proceeding is intended
to show Minnesota that the Admins
tration considers him loyal in every
way.
