US. CHARGED
WITHBETRAYING
CODE OF GERMANS
DR.. Zimmerman Tells of Sus-
picions; Bernstorff Never
Knew of "Such Treason"

Berlin, Thursday. Nov 7.--Dr. AL
fred Zimmerman, secretary for for
eign affairs during the war, caused a
mild sensation during to-day's session
of the National Assembly committee
investigating the war when he admit
ted the German authorities had been
suspicious that their code, which was
known by an American, was betrayed
by the United States Government.
Count Bernstorff, asked regarding
the code at first said he could not
swear that wireless messages receiv-
ed in America had been kept from the
Entente. Later he said under oath
that he never knew of such treason"
He declared Germany had a difficult
and dangerous cable route through
neutral countries. but that messages
had been concealed as commercial dis
patches.
U-Bont Warfare Comes Up
The submarine warfare came into
investigation again to-day.
Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capello,
one of the advocates of the submarine
campaign said the U-boats had not
been able to get at American trans
ports, because each submarine COW
cred limited circle around England
and the whole ocean could not be pa
trolled. Various British and Ameri-
can inventions like the tightening
boat, Admiral Won Capelle declared,
were other things which prevented
attacks on transports.
Admiral Won Capelle did not men,
tion mines or depth charges during
his recital. He could not admit that
the admiralty underestimated the
United States as a factor in the war,
but declared it was known. from Eng
lands experience with a volunteer
army, that the United, States could
not raise many troops in six months,
and it was thought by the time they
were trained the war would be over.
DIR. Won Bethmann- -Hollweg, chan
celor during the greater part of the
war, declared he believed in June and
July (191D that the submarines were
so destructive that England was
weakening. He, said Lloyd Georges
speech when he asked for ships.
ships" was probably not recognized
as a peace opportunity. and he assert
ed the same could be added of the
speech of Lloyd George at Glasgow
demanding silver and bullets"
Ludendorf Summoned
What had been the impression re-
garding the entry of the United
States into the war was then dis
cussed by the commission. Won Beth
mann Ho1weg declared that any man
who read the Lusitania and Sussex
notes of the United States would have
known this was inevitable.
DIR. Zimmerman was asked whether
he said in general party meeting re-
garding submarine warfare and the
entry of the United States in the war.
that American aid militarily would
amount to zero, zero, Zero" The
former foreign minister evaded the |
answer.
General Ludendorf has been sum-
moned to appear before the commits
sion tomorrow.

HURT IN FIRE
AT BIG HOTEL
Atlanta City Hostelry Burns ;
Guests Forced to Flee
in Night Clothes
MANY ESCAPE BY LEAPING
Flee to Roofs of Adjoining
Structures or Are Res
cued by Firemen
BY associated Press

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 7. - Three men
seriously injured as a result of a
fire early to-day in the Wilson Hotel
in the business district here. Be-
tween twenty and thirty persons, in
cluding seven women, were in the
building. Many escaped by leaping
to the roofs of adjoining structures
and firemen rescued others. The
dead:
Proctor e. Lawrence, hotel clerk,
rs.
Sergeant Schley Flack. Silver
Springs, Texas, on duty at Camp
Gordon, 21.
An unidentified man.
The property loss was small and
the cause of the fire has not been
determined. None of the women
guests was injured.
The fire apparently broke out In
the second story of the three-stcry
building, the ground floor of which
!s occupied by stores and a moving
picture theater.
The flames, when discovered, had
burst out of the window along the
side of the building and five minutes
later were sucked up toward the
roof. BY the time the firemen ar
rived scores of men and women were
hanging out of windows screaming
for help.
One woman leaped to her death.
The others who escaped the flames
were brought down on fire ladders.
None of the guests, among whom
were a number of soldiers, was able
to save more than a few personal
belongings hastily grabbed up, and
most of them wore only their night
clothes.
The injured were rushed to the
city hospital, where it was said two
or three might die.

RED CROSS NOT
DISCOURAGED AT
MANY REBUFFS
Overseas Veterans Who Know
Value of Work Volunteer
Services as Collectors

Several members of the American
Legion this morning went to Red
cross headquarters, where they VOL
unteered their services to the Red
Cross in the drive for $4,000 men,
bers and $4,000 cash.
I'VE know the Red Cross.". they
said. I'VE saw what it did in
france. Folks have told us what it
ana In America while we were in
france. And across the water we
heard what it was doing in Siberia,
Italy and other countries. So we're
Tor 1t. W'd like to go along with
some of your solicitors when thew
canvass for memberships or funds
we think we can help, because we
have first -hand Information of what
was done by the Red Cross"
:, This idea appealed greatly to Will
liam Jennings, chairman, and Mer-
Ger 81 rate, Vice-chairman of the
present drive.
Consequently 1t is very likely that
when Red Cross solicitors continue
their work on Monday dozens of
members of the American Legion
will also go to work.
The boys from France and from
the training camps know the Red
Cross" said Mr.. Jennings this morn
ing. We're willing to rest our case
on what they tell the people"
Not Disheartcned
While reports received yesterday
were far from encouraging, the Red
Cross folks are not disheartened.
They are going to continue the
work.
The first anniversary of Armistice
Day occurs Tuesday. Members of
the American Legion will be par
ucularly active on that day.
1t will be noted BY folks nassine
along city streets that Red Cross
emblems are few and far between
This was not true in any other Red
Cross campaign. The proportion of
members to the population of the
city is woefully small. Only one

he hopes to carry on for Harr sburg
this winter.
On account of the haste with
which the meeting was called, all

all manner of community activities,
to say nothing of vacant rooms in
the school buildings which can also
be made available for many forms

William Jennings, Mrs. William
Henderson, we Grant Forrer and
Clarence e. Zorger has taken the

WOULD USE AIRSHIPS
AS SANATORIA FOR

London, Oct. 24.-The employ

the treatment of tuberculQsissand
other diseases is advocated BY a
doctor who was attached to. the
British air force during the war,
according to the Globe. The pa

even weeks at q height of abeut

only the rich can afford to visit.
The big airships built by Eng

says can be fitted UP as sanatoria
for patients suffering from con-
sumption, anaemia, neurasthenia
and other Ills. and, except in very
bad weather, can cruise about sor

SAY DEALERS
Rumors Make Heavy Demand
on Stocks Held in
City

There is no shortage of flour in
pennsylvania, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday from the
offices of the United States Grain
Corporation.
Utterly unfounded rumors have
created the impression among house
wives that the supply of flour is IN
adequate. Those reports were char
acterized by flour dealers as foolish"
and silly" Some retail grocers are
temporarily unable to meet the i'm
mediate demand, although a suf-
ficient quantity of flour was at hand
because OF transportation difficulties.
some housewives grew alarmed
needlessly.
Many housewives have rushed TO
me grocery stores, buying up flour
IN IN extraordinarily large Quantities.
That, according to the Government
authorities, is unnecessary.

Teachers to Present
Wage Increase Claims

School officials expected that a
committee of teachers would be pres
ent late this afternoon at the sched-

to discuss the question of securing
additional salary increases. The
teachers contend that the school dis
trict should not only pay them the
percentage increases allowed by the
new State salary bill, but should also
pay the increases which would be
effective under the city's existing
salary schedule. 1t is not likely that
any official action may be taken
for the present.
