Kellerman, of Chicago, was killed and
c. H. Bachelor, of Kansas City, and
Chester Burt, of Amigo, Wis, were
captured in a fight between twenty
five troops and 200 Bolsheviki June IL,
one hundred miles to the north of
Nladivostok
Burt later was released. having
been given note saying that Batche-
lor would be freed only upon the re-
lease of all Bolshevik prisoners Burt
said Bachelor was being we'll treated.
News of the death in action of the
first American in Siberia was received
at headquarters June 13. but a few
hours later communication with Amer
lean detachments was broken when the
Bolsheviki attacked the Japanese sector
at Nikolsk and Spaskcie, where the
rails of the railway were loosened and
the wires cut.
Communication was resstablished
June 18, but there have been no re-
ports from the Americans except
that the Japanese and American troops
were making a determined effort to
prevent the Bolsheviki from destroy
ing the railroad.
Kellerman met his death on the
skirmish line. Burt and Bachelor
were captured while making a position
map. In addition, one American was
wounded The Bolsheviki lost eight
men killed and four taken prisoner.
In another fight at Uspanka village,
June II, four Americans we're wounded
and one Bolsheviki was killed and two

Transportation is demoralized be-
tween Nikolsk and Khabarovsk, where
railroad wrecks are frequent The Boil

on the cars. On June II, near Spas

for two hours. The Japanese finally
relieved the situation.
On June IS in the American sector
the Bolsheviki attacked train. Three
civilians were killed and eighteen 9TH

Faith of Germans
Scapa Flo,U Trick Said

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Belief that
the sinking of the German ships at
Scapa Flow has proved that the Ger
mans will not respect the terms of any
treaty they sign was expressed to-
night by Senator Poindexter in COM
menting on the peace situation.
"The scuttling of the ships was a
clear violation Of their obligations"
he said, "and strengthens my belief
that the signed treaty won't mean any
thing to Germany.
"The Germans signed the armistice
because it was more convenient to
sign than to fight. They violated the
armistice at Scapa Flow when violation
suited them best. They will do the
same with the treaty unless the Allies
can enforce its terms. l believe the
sinking was deliberately planned and
executed in connivance with high
German officials.
ut Is very strange that the English
did not guard the ships more closely"
Naval officers were frankly pleased
at the disposal of the German fleet at
Scapa Flow. One line officer charac-
terized it as "a typical Hunnish trick" "
but admitted it settled disturbing
question as to the disposal of the Ger
man feet to the satisfaction of every
naval officer he knew.

LONDON. June 22.-The approaching

Central Europe, particularly, is as rest
less as the ocean. The coming winter,
In the opinion of economic experts, will
find conditions even worse than last

Business is regaining it's feet slow
y. Consequently, unemployment has
reached serious proportions. The
masses of the people had an inexpli-

would result in miraculous changes in
conditions.
In Great Britain, where food is bet
ter and less expensive than on the Con-
tinent-where wages are higher and
opportunities for enjoyment of indi-
yidual freedom better-there is a rest
lessness which in other days would
give cause for alarm.
The riots among the whites and
, negroes at Liverpool, Cardiff and Lon
don, the outbreaks in the Canadian
camps and the refusal of the Scottish
troops to go to India are minor dis
orders. What worries statesmen in
hnitely more is the unrest upon which

ous drastic and fundamental changes.
Sucn questions as the Russian policy,
foreign trade relations, government
ownership of mines and lreland's polit-
ica future are issues of the first mag
situde. Any comparison between Great
Britain and other European belliger-

Blamed
For Sunken Fleet
Germans Merely Ran True
to Type, Say Experts;
Strict Inquiry Sought

LONDON, June 22.-Arthur Pollen.
the naval expert. in an interview in
The Dispatch" regarding the sinking
OF the German warships in Scapa Flow,
admlres the spirit of the Germans in
sinking their ships rather than to
allow them to pass into possession of
their enemies.
The article recalls that writer in
an evening paper recently practically
prophesied the destruction of the Ger
man ships. This writer emphasized
the ease of secreting demolition
charges in modern warship, adding:
Many people in the navy believe that
the ships left Germany with dynamite
charges already In position and that
when the decision of the peace con-
ference was announced the Scapa
Flow would be the scene of big pyro-
technic display"
Commander Kenworthy, NJ P, told
"The Dispatch" it was the easiest
thing in the world to sink a ship by
opening the Kingston valve or remov-
ing the covers of the condensers.
"The story is remarkable" said Lord
Sydenham. Explosives could not have
been used, as they are believed to
have been removed. Assuming that
the Kingston valves were open, the
ships would not sink in less than five
hours. The loss of the ships does not
matter, but it is annoying that we
were outwitted."
Commander Bellairs, M. P, declared
no watch from the guard boats could
have prevented the scuttling of the
ships, and therefore the sailors on the
spot are not to be blamed
"The Admiralty is responsible. 4"
Commander Belairs declared, "for
they made the armistice, but did not
think of the terms. The only lesson
is that the first case of police work for
the league of nations has been unsuc-
cessful and that the German remains
true to type"
"The Weekly Dispatch" says that, ac-
cording to an officer who visited the
German feet last month. the ships,
when they arrived in Scapa Flow. were
searched for explosives, but not
stringently. The Admiralty officials
made a hasty survey last November,
but since then everybody was kept
away because it was the opinion of the
government that the ships should not
be treated as surrendered until the
peace conference had decided their
fate.
"The public will insist upon dis
closure of the blunderer, or blunderers,
whose egregious trustfulness was so
cyncally abused" says "The Weekly
Dispatch" in its editorial comment
Gas the ships were in the custody Of
the British navy as trustee for the
Allies most searching investigation
into the nature of the precautions
taken obviously is necessary"

LONDON, June 90 (By The Asso-

bris were thrown up.

remained anchored last night, has

cling: If the British start salvaging,
which should not be difficult, they
probably will do SO to clear their an
chorages in Scapa Flow and not because
the sunken ships are of great value.
II am particularly pleased, because
this act removes the last chance of our
ever having American crews on ships

questions need clearing up. Some of
them are:
Just why was the sinking Of the
German fleet, which lasted from
shortly after noon until 4:3O D. m.,
not noticed sooner?
How were the Germans enabled to
achieve the sinkings simultaneously,
with every evidence of we'll organ
lied plot?
Why was it necessary to she'll open
boats containing German crews, who
obviously could not escape?
Upon whom can the direct respon-
sibility be fixed?
British Position Embarrassing
There is no denying that the Ger
man coup places England in a rather
embarrassing position. She was the
guardian selected by the Allies to keep
an eye on the German fleet until the
warships could be divided among the
victors. Now the feet is gone, and
some one may be called on to make
good the loss
Of course England is not behindhand
in foreseeing this contingency, and
already several suggestions as to how
Germany can be made to pay for this
latest "atrocity" are being spread
broadcast. Since the fate of Heligo-
land-which formerly had been held
as q club over the heads of the Ger
mans-has been definitely settled, it is
suggested that the sunken vessels
might be replaced by some of the war
ships of older types still remaining
in Germany's possession. That there
will also be serious attempt strin-
gently to punish the actual offenders
seems evident from the tone of British
otficialdom to-day.
Sunken Tonnage 100000
The total tonnage sunk was ap-
proximately 100000. Forty-seven of
the seventy-three surrendered surface
ships actually went down. The rest,
with the exception of the single bat
tleship lately reported still afoat,
were run on the beaches and can of
course be salved. This will leave a
considerable shortage when the time
comes for the ALLEGATION of the YES
sells among the Allied and associated d
powers.
While no official ALLEGATION had yet
been announced, it was known that
England favored dividing the Ger
man ships among the Allies in accord
ance with their losses. This plan met
with considerable disfavor in France,
where it was insisted that the distri-
button should be made according to
percentage losses-a slight difference
in wording which would make all the
difference in the world, for Frances
losses, while not nearly so heavy as
Great Britain's, nevertheless we're
greater in proportion to the size of
her navy.

That positive identification of the murdered woman whose body was found in a New Canaan swamp early this spring will be made within a few days, is expected to be result of an ducted by New York and Connecticut authorities during the past week.

 Denial that he had made a contract to allow a series of eight Nazimova pictures 10 be shown at the Liberty moving picture theatre in this city was made by President Edward A.

Contradictions and denials of many of the material statements made by the Dorsen brothers featured the hearing on the objections to the re- port of the receivers of the Dorsen Dry Goods Co. which has been drag ging along before Referee. John w. Banks. for many months.
 B. w. Willett, one of the receivers and proprietor of the Royal Adjust ment Co. which made the loan of S30,0r0 to the Dorsens, was on the wiIE- stand all the morning and denied that he had ever contempiat- ed or proposed taking either common or preferred stock in The Dorsen Dry Goods Co. for the loan of S50,G0o or for the S20,o0 charge which it was agreed that he should receive for services in connection with the loan
 He told of his investigation as 10 the condition of the Dorsen company prior to making the loa- and the cen ferepces that he ana Judge Rosen- thaI had with The Dorsens before the papers were drawn up and the money passed.

 This claim of the Abel company the Dorsens agreed to subordinate to the claim of the Royal Adjustment company and Harry Dorsen brought a waiver signed by the Wheelers of their claim to the meeting in New York on March IT. and said that he could then obtain another loan of $25,o0 from the Wheelers if it were necessary. During the hearing last night Attorney Jacob B.
