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 "

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. Swedish of

Swedish Cabinet as the most democratic

Socialist leader, and some of the other
members are high in the Socialist ranks.

is regarded as being more favorably
inclined toward the entente than the
retiring Cabinet.

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

tions that the people of Alsace-Lorraine
do not wish to be separated from Ger

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.

tional Army for service In France is

National Army men would be as

Details of Italy's serious economic
situation while her soldiers are press

Producing no coal, Italy also de

upon the outside world, which virtual

requires all her shipping for her own
purposes. The situation is so grave
that there is almost no coal for private
consumption and few furnaces will be
lighted this Winter in either Italian

in civil life, the mortality ratio being
8 in 1000 for the Navy against 17.8
in 1000 in the country at large.
After outlining sanitary achieve
ments of the war. Dr. Evans proposed
measures for the prevention of some
diseases which he said heretofore re
ceived less attention than their im
portance deserved. Diseases yet to be
successfully combated, are tubercu

Jaundice, war nephritis, shell shock and
gas poisoning.

of potatoes, a cupful of beans, peas or
oatmeal, a half pound of meat, 12 cubes

individuals In Western republics have
been using the earnings of their busi

the United States and Its allies, to
cause strikes in mines and oil fields,
products from which are vitally neces
sary to the allies, and even to attempt
to influence the political attitude of
some of the governments.
