compiled by the department OF horti-
culture Of NJ. A. G. for the information
OF orchardists, many OF who, in sea
sons past hase piled the college with
questions as to which varieties OF ap-
pies are best to,plant. The names OF
the Most popular varieties were as
certained by the NJ A. G. horticultur-

years.

In comparing this type of gun with
the German long-range freak" guns
which fired on Paris, the report says:
They (the German guns were built
on permanent steel and concrete
foundations which were eventually
sought out by allied aeroplanes and
the guns subsequently silenced. The
shells were small and specially built

duced their military efficiency. The
German longrange guns. while they
had a certain moral effect. were with

Disaster Presaged by
Huge Vulture High on
Spars Of Sunken Ship

Miami, Fla, Sept. l5.-Many
hours before the storm which sunk
the Ward liner Corydon in the
Bahama channel Tuesday morn
ing, with loss of q lives, a vul-
ture followed the ship and perched
on its spars, while a panic stricken
crew believing in the superstitions
of the sea were convinced that they
were doomed.
Such is the story brought here
by eight of the crew. who were s.
hours adrift on an upturned boat,
battered and bruised and without
food or water.
All day Sunday as the ship pur-
sued its way in calm seas and light
winds, the great bird lowered over
head.
Sunday night and Monday the
Corydon staggered through the
smashing seas. Monday night every
member of the crew was engaged
in desperate battle for life. There
was no food, as the galley and pro-
vision rooms were flooded. Tues
day mol~ng they lost control of
the ship, the wireless apparatus was
short-circuited and no IS. 0. S."
calls could be sent out.

one class and deny the socialistic
theory of the general public good"
The railroads under the plan, he
said, would be operated "for the
benefit of the workers" while the
public would assume all risk of loss.
The greatest defect of the plan,
he declared, is that the thirds

and railroad officials on the pro-

The author of the plan" said
Mr.. Rich, claims there would be
an incentive for efficient operation
because every worker would be en-
titled to a share in the surplus. But
after the employees had helped them
selves to what wages they wanted,
does anyone believe there would be

First Complete Details Of Mon

Uncovered.
BY PATRICK DEVITTE.
Exclusive Cable to Universal Service and
The London Daily Expressly

Geneva, Sept. l3.--The first COM
plete details of a monarchistic plot
to restore the Hapsburgs on the
Austrian throne have just been un-
covered. Der Neue Tag publishes
an account which involved some of
the most prominent military and
civil figures.
Colonel Vodale, formerly aide de
camp to the Hapsburg princes,
heads the Austrian old clique. Max
Wellner, director of film corpora
ton at Budapest, led the Hungarian
faction.
Wellner was arrested and a
search of his house by the police un-
earthed papers showing correspond
ence between Vodale and the prince
of Windisch-G raetz, whose divorce
from the granddaughter of Franz
Joseph recently created a sensation
in Vienna.
The police also discovered the key
to cipher kilograms between the
prince and Wellner and Vodale
which had been puzzling the author
tiles. Vodale. it appears, had sug
gested to Graetz that he should
form special battalions in Austria
which were to overthrow the exist
ings government.

ULT|MATUM OF
PEACE CONGRESS-
AROUSES HUNS
Demands Ordering Changes
In Constitution Draws Wit
rolic Reply From Drafter
of Document.
BY The, Associated Press.

Berlin, Sept. l3.-Dr. Huge
Preuss, who drafted the new Ger,
man constitution recently promul,
gated at Weimar, in a statement to,
day to The Associated Press, Sc
verely arraigned the demand made
by the peace conference that Ger
many must amend the constitution
so as to prevent Austrian represen-
tation in German parliamentary af-
fairs.
Il must emphasize first, he said,
shat this is not a question of law.
Legally, it is clear and simple. The
way in which our opponents brought
up the matter shows they are fol
lowing entirely different purposes
than the clearing up of doubtful
legal questions.
"In Article l7S OF the new German
constitution is the clause; The
terms Of the treaty of peace signed
at Versailles will not be affected by
this constitution This excludes any
4 III dNtNdl NoIllSloli DSlWNCtl tIiS PSuAS
terms and the constitution, for if
there should be any provisions of
the constitution in contradiction of
the peace terms, the latter would be
valid legally, without any chance for
the constitution to take precedence
over the treaty.
Doesn't Interfere With Pact
"Article 81, paragraph 2 (provid-
ing for the admission OF Austrian
members OF the reichstag) does not
stand as a formal contradiction of
the peace terms. this fact being rec
ognized by the signing of the terms
by the allied and associated gov
ernments. In the German counter
proposals to the original peace
terms the German government ex-
planned in discussing this point,
that Germany did not desire to vio-
late the Austrian frontier but that
if Austria wanted to bring about a
state Of unity with Germany, the
latter could not obligate herself to
oppose the wishes Of the German
brothers in Austria for in that case
the right of self determination OF
peoples would count against Ger
many. The allied and associated
governments merely recognized in
their answer that Germany did not
want forcibly to violate the Aus
TRAN frontier. Thus the peace treaty
was signed. Article 81 does not
forcibly violate the Austrian from
tier.
Dislike Manner Of Request.
Further, if the entente raised
serious objections to harmless para
graph two of article fl there were
plenty Of opportunities to reach a
quiet understanding with Germany.
Instead of that the entente chose
: most sudden and brusque manner
toward US and offered terms for
which there was no trace Of legality,
the purpose being to compel Ger
many to alter its constitution as to
immaterial points.

SPLIT IN RANKS
OF B0LSHEvIKI,
BRITISH LEARN
Downing Streets Agents Re.
port Move That Threatens
to Overthrow Trotzky-
Lenine Combine.
BY FORBES FAIRBAIRN.
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
Special Cable Dispatch.

London, Sept. 13.-Through con-
fidential and official sources the
British foreign office has learned
the first news of definite rupture
among the Russian bolsheviki.
Advices received from British
agents reveal in detail an open re-
bellion against the central soviet
government which threatens to over
throw the nine-Trotsky combine.
Threaten to Overthrow Rule.
Certain members Of the Russian
soviet who have no sympathy with
the extreme radical views of the
present leaders of the Moscow gov
eminent, have declared themselves
against Lenine and threaten to set
up new form of communist power.
According to the British foreign
office, this is the most important
announcement from Russia in
months and may have the greatest
influence on the future course OF
events there.
1--WE have reason to believe in the
absolute veracity OF this report"
said an official at Downing street.
The information comes from a re-
liable man who was able to obtain
in the past the truth of the Russian
situa ton.
IF it is true, it will have a most
important bearing on the turn of
events in Russia"
May Influence British Plan.
Asked whether it would influence
the British withdrawal from Rus
STA, the Official said the matter has
not been discussed, but that it
might influence British plans.
Russia is the biggest matter now
demanding the attention of the Brit
ssh foreign office" he said. 1--WE are
devoting practically all our time to
it. There is no question that it is
most serious, and | cannot empha-
size too much the importance of the
rupture within the bolshevik ranks"
Conhrmatory TO some extent of
this information is what the Russian
correspondent of The Nieuew Rot
terdamsche Courant has to say. He
has just arrived at Berlin after two
months in Russia. He declares the
Lenine- Trotzky- T chitcherin trium-
virate is no longer all-powerfuI,
Tchitcherin being too friendly to the
entente to please his colleagues.
The correspondent asserts Dser-
sinski, head of the Russian secret
police. which has spies and agents
everywhere, is now the most pow
erful man in the country, overshad-
owing Trotzky who controls the
army. Neither Lenine nor Tch-
tcherin holds any power" he said.
"Lenine is closely guarded in the
Kremlin and Trotzky hasn't been in
Moscow for many months "

Washington, Sept. l3.-With his
headquarters as chief of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces re-estab-

than two years in France, General
Pershing promptly joined in the Sat-
