NO NEW ATTACKS MADE
Emergency Meeting Held and Cam

300 Vigilantes Patrolling
Victimized District.
SEATTLE, Oct. 14. (Special.) The
discovery late this afternoon., of the
body, of a woman who had been mur
dered at least two months ago and
dragged into thick brush near the
north end of the city spread fresh
terror among residents of the outlying
districts.' already keyed up to a high
pitch of excitement by the activity of
the woman slugger.
Deputy Coroner Frank Koepfli said
the body, which was found three-quarters
of a mile from the road, had been
dragged in the brush by the feet. .The
bead was found lying several feet from
the trunk.
Identification Hot Possible.
The body had been exposed to the
elements so long as to make positive
Identification impossible. No Identify
ing marks were found on the garments.
The woman wore a blue straw hat, red
coat, white stockings and white can
vas shoes. Police records fall, to show
any woman thus clad to be missing.
A letter was found on the body from
which these words were deciphered:
"I am going to have you come up for
Christmas dinner, so don't fail. My
ulster's husband has to go to war."
It was signed by Earl O'Brien. Po
lice believe the letter wan written
from Canada.
No further activities of the slugger
were reported today, due, perhaps, to
the heavy patrols maintained by the
polico and citizens.
TVorth En Patrolled.
An emergency meeting was held in
the Green Lake Methodist Episcopal
Church this afternoon and a campaign
mapped out by 400 citizens who at
tended. As a result, 300 vigilantes are
patrolling the North End district to
night. While no new arrests were made to
day, the three men arrested last night
aire still in custody and an investiga
tion of their movements is being made.

of last night's series of attacks is said
to be favorable.
Meetings of citizens in several dis
tricts of the city to organize against
the woman slugger are scheduled for
tomorrow.

back and depend upon the men to pro
tect them, women of the city arranged
tonight for a mass meeting to be held
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
which they will then discuss the situa
tion and endeavor to arrive at a stand
ardized plan of defense. The move

Government League. Only women are
Invited to attend.
Slugger victims who are physically
able to attend the meeting will be
asked to tell of their experiences and
describe the mode of attack used by
the thug. With this data in hand the
women will plan their own defense.
"While we realize that the police
and the citizen patrols are doing their
utmost to guard us, we will feel more
secure if we bave some plan of pro
tection of our own, in the event that
the slugger eludes the patrols," said
one of the leaders in the movement.

Netherlands Government Contends
Britain Must Show Materials Sent
to Germany Are For War.
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 14. The Maas
bode says it learrls that all Dutch ship
ping to England has been stopped on
account of the pending difference be
tween Great Britain and Holland.
Great Britain on October 11 stopped
all commercial cable communication
with Holland until such time as The
Netherlands government placed restric
tion on the transit of sand, gravel and
scrap metal from Germany to Belgium
by way of Holland.
The British government contended
that this concrete raw material was
being used by the Germans in great
quantities in the construction of dug
outs to the detriment of the British
soldiers.
. The Netherlands government replied
by saying that it would satisfy the
British desire to stop the transit of
sand and gravel to Belgium only when
the British government showed, not
withstanding the declaration of the
German authorities and the Investi
gations of Dutch officials, that the ma
terials were being used for war pur
poses. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 14. Cornelius
Van Aalst, president of The Nether
lands Overseas Trust, in n interview
printed In the Handelsblad, describes
the restriction placed by Great Britain
on cable communication between Hol
land and other countries, including the
Dutch colonies, as a very serious
measure, which could only have been
devised by persons unacquainted with
the situation and 'with feeling in Hol
land. ' Herr Van Aalst declared that Dutch
commercial men would never- yield to
such a measure or try to influence the
government to yield. He thought Ger
many might forego improvements on
Belgian roads.

Regarded Grave Admission.
EARLY COLLAPSE NOT HOPE
Military Experts Among Allied
Delegations in Washington Expect
Bitter Defensive Fight, Though
Believing Teuton Hopeless.
BT CHARLES MICHELSON.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. (Special.)
"England wants to negotiate now while
her position - is comparatively favor
able." says Von Tirpitz, the father of
the unrestricted submarine warfare,
and Washington hails the utterance as
the gravest admission that has pro
ceeded from an official German mouth
so far.
For the first time there is an admis
sion that the allies have made progress
against the Central Empires. Germany
holds practically all she had overrun
in . the West, and more than she ever
before dominated in, Ru.-..-ia and yet
Admiral von Tirpitz i-unrdlfs t'i "com
paratively favorable" volition of Eng
land, which means' I'.u- o..; ;m atively
unfavorable position f Germany, In his
call to his countrymen to be patient,
as he promises' the long-deferred col
lapse of Great Brttaln. because of the
submarine destruction of shipping.
Impending; Defeat Confessed.
There Is no date set this time for the
final triumph of. the U-boat warfare.
"Success cannot be expected forthwith"
but "some months hence" things will be
different. . .
The military men among the allied
delegations now here consider this so
nearly a confession of impending defeat
that they do not take the trouble to be
indignant at the intimation that Eng
land has been suggesting peace nego
tiations. This intimation has been re
peated in various recent German state
ments despite the fact that all the
peace balloons flown lately have been
made ' in Germany, and England has
been the most emphatic of the allies in
rejecting any tentative . proposals of
the sort.
Sea Snake Daifer Lessens.
That Von Tirpitz insists that England
must lose if the submarine destruction
exceeds the new tonnage causes no
alarm. America's programme of ship
building alone exceeds the average
losses due to the U-boats, and if the
present ratio of construction and de
struction continues 1920 will see the
world's ship tonnage greater even than
It was before the U-boats got to work.
Moreover, the hundreds of new de
stroyers and submarine chasers and
the new defensive measures that have

"WASHINGTON", Oct. TI. President

"Let the result be so impressive and

intends to do o bring- this war to a
victorious conclusion."
Nation's Might Mobilized.
The President's proclamation follows:
"By the President of the United
States of America:
"A proclamation:
"The second liberty loan gives the
people of the United States an oppor
tunity to lend their funds to their
Government to sustain their country
at war. The might of the United States
is being mobilized and organized to
strike a mortal blow at autocracy in
defense of outraged American rights
and of the cause of liberty. Billions
of dollars are required to arm, feed
and clothe the brave men who are going
forth to fight our country's battles
and to assist the nations with whom
we are making common cause against
a common foe. To subscribe to the
liberty loan is to perform a service ot
patriotism.
Meetings Are Eseoursged.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of Amer
ica, do appoint Wednesday, the 24th of
October, as Liberty day, and urge and
advise the people to assemble in their
respective communities and pledge to
one another and to the Government that
represents them the fullest measure of
financial support. On the afternoon of
that day I request that patriotic meet
ings be held in every city, town and
hamlet throughout the land, under the
general direction of the Secretary of
the Treasury and the immediate direc
tion of the liberty loan committees
which have been organized by the
Federal Reserve banks.
"The people responded nobly to tha
call of the first liberty loan with an.
over eubscription of more than 50 per
cent. Let the response to the second
loan be even greater and let the amount
be so large that it will serve as an as
surance of unequaled support to
hearten the men who are to face the
fire of battle for us. Let the result be
so impressive and emphatic that it will
echo throughout the empire of our
enemy as an index of what America in
tends to do to bring this war to a. vic
