THE MORNING OREGONIAN. - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1917. V i ft t ATTEMPT TO SINK IT TRANSPOF mad E Scheme to Place Explosive in Hold of Vessel Once Ger man Liner Foiled. PLOTTER IS APPREHENDED Charles V. Walnnm, Believed to Be Teuton, Held Without Bail as Result of Disclosure of I Designs. NEW TORK, Oct. 19. On a charge of conspiring to place an explosive on a United States converted transport, formerly a German merchant liner, Charles W. Wilnum, believed to be a Herman, was held without bail by a United States Commissioner this aft ernoon for examination on October 24. Walnum claimed to be a Norwegian and said he had taken out his first naturalization papers In this country. He pleaded not guilty and told the authorities he was not a spy. For six months he has been chef and pantry man on a yacht owned by Harry Payne Whitney. The former German ship is at a Brooklyn drydock. James McLoughlin. a caulker employed at the yard, filed an affidavit setting forth Walnum's alleged attempt to bribe him by offer ing 120 to effect Walnum's entry to I he yard and access to the ship In com pany with a girl, Walnum and his com panion to pose, according to the charge, as sightseers. It was "Walnum's plan, according to McLoughlin, to Induce a worker on the vessel to melt some of the rivets with a torch, after which Walnum was to place a bomb or other explosive on the ship, which, with the rivets damaged, was certain to sink easily. McLoughlin's story, supported by an affidavit made by a detective who ar rested Walnum, was that Walnum dis played knowledge of turbines and other parts of former German liners. What People Are Saying. Condensed From Pksm Dispatches. MRS. THOJIAS J. PRESTON, former ly Mrs. Grover Cleveland, speak ing at a "woman's war service meet ing" in New York, the first of a series to held in every big city of the coun try in a nation-wide movement to or ganize women for war service, says: "Today we mothers and wives of the soldiers of freedom face again the old grim fact of war. But this is a war to end war, and therefore our eyes must be dry and our hearts unswerv ing for sacrifice. More than that, we must all serve. Not grief, but labor, not tears but steadfast purpose are worthy of the men who bear our colors against the enemy of the world's peace. "The woman slacker is as guilty as the man slacker, because her power for victory is as real as his." After making a $5000,000 subscrip tion to the liberty loan for the Mer chants' Loan & Trust Co., of Chicago, President IS. D. Hulbort, of that Insti tution, says: "The one weak spot in the situation is the attitude of the farmers. They will neither buy liberty bonds, pay taxes, sell their produce nor fight. 1 have asked many out-of-town callers here about farmers paying taxes and 1 have heard of but one instance of a farmer paying an income tax. They have profited throughout the period of the war, but are unwilling to help the lovernment in any of the four ways mentioned. The farmers have been pampered by politicians until they teem to feel they are a privileged class." Bankers of the United States are urged to be liberal in their loans to ngriculturists and manufacturers by (i"orga W. Norris. president of the Federal farm loan board. "Last year's agricultural production is estimated at f 1o.0m0.0u0.00ii and this years at $17,000,000,000. The farmer should be provided with loans suffi cient to permit hir.: to carry on his work without feeling the need of ready money. Financing of manufacturers who see the need of enlarging their plants to meet the war's demands Is also vital to the vigorous prosecution of the war." A letter from Marshal Joffre ex presses his thanks to the American Cross of Honor for the bestowal of its decoration upon him as France's greatest hero. When the French gov ernment recently declined to name the man who In ail France was thought most deserving of the tribute, the so ciety voted to make the award to the hero of the Marne. "This manifestation goes straight to my heart and touches me all the more, inasmuch as through my person it is to our heroic France and to the soldiers who gloriously defended her at the Marna that you have desired to pay tribute," writes Joffre. Premier Painleve, at a luncheon given by French Senators and Depu ties In honor of Aledill McCormick, ways: "I am happy to welcome an allied citizen and a representative of Ameri can democracy. The arousing of a con tinent in support of Justice will prove one of the greatest events in history. "France. I venture to say. is not un worthy of America's co-operation, for France will continue to struggle and conquer, despite all she has endured." After paying warm tribute to Gen eral Pershing, the Premier adds: "General Pershing's sword and that of France will write the first chapter in the society of nations." Replying to a message of good will from Madame Breshkovskaya, "grand mother of the Russian revolution," President Wilson says: "It is most disheartening to witness the courage with which the new Rus sia faces the problems of the future. We of America long since learned that Intellectual development and moral fit ness are the most powerful elements of national advancement. As the in dividual is the type of the nation, so the nation should embody the highest individual ideals of civil perfection in order to assert and maintain its hon orable position in the world-family of commonwealths. "In the effort to attain this goal may awakened Russian and enfranchised America advance side by side with mu tual affection and confident trust." Baron Moncheur, head of the Belgian mission to the United States, asks the Associated Press to express his thanks to the American people for the hospi tality extended to the mission. "I thought I knew the United States well." says the Baron. "I was Minister at Washington for eight years and learned and admired the business-like methods and efficiency of Americans. But it was a revelation to see a great, free, proud, wealthy Nation bending all its energies towards the single goal of crushing Prussian militarism. For getful of party rivalries, the people of the United States, as one man, entered the fray resolved to make the world 'sate for democracy " CABINET IS SOCIALISTIC XEW SWEDISH MIMSTRT TtEPKE SEXTS PEOPLE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Advices from Switzerland say the people of Strass burg, Metz and other points In Alsace Lorraine responded with a general out burst of anti-German feeling to at tempts to float part of the new Ger man war loan and celebrate the birth day of Von Hindenburg. In spite of the terror that the Prus sian military authorities have pro duced in the country on the occasion of the birthday of Von Hindenburg, October 3. many posters bearing the likeness of the marshal were scratched out and torn down overnight in Strass burg. At Metz the official advertise ments and posters of the new war loan also were torn down, and so far the enraged German authorities have falied to find anyone to punish. These reports are regarded as more contradictory evidence to Foreign Min ister von Kuehlmann's repeated asser tions that the people of Alsace-Lorraine do not wish to be separated from Ger many.

PETROGRAD IN WAR ZONE Capture of Riga, by Germans Hastens Plans for Removal Evacua tion of Reval Already Begun. PETROGRAD. Oct. 19. The govern ment has definitely determined to move to Moscow In the very near future. The newspapers publish an official ac count that the evacuation of the forti fied port of Reval, on the Baltic at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, has begun. The schools at Reval have been closed. The inhabitants of the city are being sent to the interior of Russia. Announcement that the government will move to Moscow was made today by M. Kishkin, Minister of Public Wel fare. Riga's F"all Starts Move. After the capture of Riga by the Germans, preparations for removal of the government to Moscow were be gun. The failure of the Germans to develop their offensive after taking Riga, as well as the approach of Win ter weather, making open campaigning impracticable, relieved the fears for the safety of Petrograd for the near future. Last week announcement was made that the preparations for trans ferring the seat of government had been stopped, as there was no prospect that such action would be necessary, at least for some time. The new offensive operations by the Germans, resulting In the capture of Oesel and Moon islands, and the threat of an invasion of Esthonia, again changed the situation, however, and may be responsible for the decision to remove the government to Moscow, the ancient capital. The turbulent politi cal conditions in Petrograd and the presence there of large numbers of ex tremists and agitators may also have influenced the Cabinet. Reval Is Menaced. Reval, a town of about 63.000. 200 miles southwest of Petrograd, was a naval station and, with Helsingfors and Hango, on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland, guards the ap proaches to the gulf. The landing of German forces on the Esthonian coast would menace the town from the rear. The sailors of the main Baltic fleet are demanding that the ships be sent out to meet the Germans, but the gov ernment is understood to have taken the position that, as the enemy forces are of superior size, it would' be disas trous to leave Petrograd undefended, WASHINGTON Oct. 19. Russian of ficials here had no dispatches today on the removal of the Russian provisional government from Petrograd to Mos cow, but said that the plan of moving the seat of government. conceived some time ago, undoubtedly has been hastened by the German advance In the Riga territory. Moscow Logical Capital. Ever since the removal of tho capi tal was first discussed Russian offi cials here have reiterated that the Kerensky government felt it could work with fewer hampering influences in Moscow than in Petrograd, which is the center of the opposition. The Ger man advance. Russian officials here say, undoubtedly has strengthened the extreme radicals in the Council of Sol diers' and Workmen's Delegates. "Though a definite date has not been set. it will be in the very near future." said M. Kishkin, in announcing the government's intention to move, in an Interview in the Bourse Gazette. No one is now permitted to go to Mos cow except on government business," he continued. "The proposes evacua tion has been under way by the gov ment departments for a. long lime." Kremlin to Be I'fted. The government Is to occupy one of the buildings in tho Kremlin, tho an cient capital. The preliminary Parliament will con vene in Petrograd on Saturday and move to Moscow later. The determination to move the gov ernment is said to be in keeping with the belief of the chief of staff that Petrograd is now In the direct war zone. ments from miners already in the Na tional Army for service In France is under consideration by Secretary Ba ker.
