EX-CzAR|hA, HUN SPY,
Be EiRAYED KITCHENER
Through Wire From Petrograd
Palace She Kept Kaiser Posted
on Every Allied Move.

New York, Oct 25.-ln an address last
night before the Division OF Pictorial
Publicity at the Salmaguindi Club, Com
missioner Henry W Mapp, head of the
Salvation Army in Russia, who has JuSt
returned from that country, made the
direct charge that it was through private
wire from the apartment OF the czanna
in the winter palace in Petrograd to Pots
dam that all information IN regard to
the military plans of the allies received
by Russia was conveyed to the German
government.
The sinking of the ship on which Lord
Kitchener was lost was accomplished
through the treachery of the former em-
press, according to Mr. Mapp, who tele-.
graphed all the plans III regard TO Lord
Kitchener's proposed visit directly to the
kaiser.

Behind Allied Lines In France, Oct.
I5-The American soldier is a source
OF continual interest to the troops of the

They have been vastly impressed by the

Henri of Prussia---TWo Scenes

That one man IN his life plays many parts
is as true as that one nation in its life plays
many parts. Prince Henry of Prussia and the
German empire are illustrations cognate illus
tratons, bit fascinating to the thinker. Two
scenes in Henry's life are worth contrasting:
February 23-March II, 1902-Feted in
Washington and New York, in Milwaukee and
Boston; Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans de-
tailed to be his aide de camp; made an hon
orary LID. by Harvard; chief figure at the
launching of the kaser's yacht where the bot
tile of wine was broken by President Roose-
velts daughter; cheered at the famous Rid
der dinner by hundreds of German Ameri-
cans" his visit construed by many European
newspapers as an event Of profound interna-
tional significance"
November E, 191S-Comander- in chief of
the German navy, helpless against mutneers,
flying from KEEL, target for the rifles of his
own marines, in an automobile camouhaged
with the red flag.
The German-Amercans who paid honor to
Prince Henry 10 years ago have experienced
less dramatic, but equally serious changes Of
role in the United States. They were respected.
They were honored. They were prominent in
politics. in literature, in art, in music. They
were big forces in business and finance. Their
star has gone down. Their mere existence here
is dependent on silence and the attitude of
apology for existing. They are neither better
nor worse than in 1902. The crimes of the
Hohenzollerns have been visited upon their

Great Dags for Italg

Having obtained the first fruits of victory
in the form of direct appeal for an armstce
from the enemy in the field, Italy now sees the
complete fulflment of the aspirations which
prompted it to break loose from the immoral
triple alliance, in which it had been imneshed
by the Vaccinations of the Hapsburgs and the
Hohenzollerns. The Italian government of the
day doubtless would have acted more promptly
than it did in siding with the entente but for the
tentacles which Germany had fastened onto
certain political parties sections of the press
and large banking and commercial interests.
These influences. however did not prevent Italy
from helping France most materiallNby friendly
neutrality at the outset of the war; and at the
end of May, 1915 10 months after the outbreak
of the war, Italy was in the position to enter on
the scene as combatant. The delay was
mainly due to the crippled condition in which
the country found itself after the last war with
Turkey; the necessity for complete re-equp-
ment of the army, which was then in a bad way,
and for restoring the disorganized finances of
the country to some degree of stability.
Since Italy entered the war it has been
necessary for it not merely to fight with the
enemy in the open. but also to combat subter-
ranean forces which the Teutons know so we'll
how to employ. AT one time these forces nearly
led to disaster, but the recovery of the Italian
army which followed was one OF the most strik-
ing incidents of the war, speaking volumes for
the courage and tenacity of the nation.-New
York Herald.

Slowing Down the War Work.

Gradual reduction in speed of our war work
may be looked for, to start at once. 1t is dan
gerous to shut it all off Immediately; no safety
valve has been provided to liberate the immense
pressure on the national boiler and serious
explosion might result were sudden stop made.
But the fires will be gradually drawn and steam
Systematically reduced to the point of safety.
Orders have been given already to cease over
time and Sunday work on government contracts.
Calls for draft increments have been rescnded
and other plans to liberate to the empoyments
of peace those now engaged in war will be
found. Expenditures on account of war will be
checked more carefully from now on; the daily
cost will be much less, but the big bills already
incurred must be met. Present outlook is that
many, if not ALL the soldiers will be we'll en-
ployed in Europe for months. Even with peace
assured, the great job of the war is not over
with, and patience is enjoined on the public
until the task be ended
