REVOLUTION HELD FAILURE
Message From Petrograd Says That
Behind Apparent Cliaos Forces
That Will Remake Rusia
; Are Active.
LONDON, Nov. 27. All communica
tion has been broken between North
and South Russia. The foreign embas
sies at Petrograd are unable to estab
lish any touch with Odessa or other
points In 'Southern Russia. Official
messages, however, are reaching Odes
sa by way of Persia.
Information was received here today
from Petrograd that a number of Ger
man staff officers have arrived there
and are acting in an advisory capacity
to Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki Pre
mier. ,Army Short of Food.
The Russian army on the northern
front has had no bread for several
days, according to reports received in
Petrograd and transmitted here, and
only two or three days' supply of army
biscuit is on hand. The army dele
gates are reported to have recommend
ed the withdrawal of the troops In or
der to-prevent a general flight with
its consequent excesses. Instead of
hundred cars of food arriving daily at
the Dvinsk front only 20 have been re
ceived.
Large numbers of troops being moved
to different places have been stopped
by the removal of sections of railroad
track to prevent their reaching Petro
grad. They were stopped at towns
- where food could not be obtained.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. The Ameri
can Consul at Tiflis today reported es
tablishment of the new government In
the Caucasus as a protest against anar
chy in Russia.
LONDON, Nov. 27. The Russian rev
olutionists have made a "ghastly fail
ure" of their attempt at administra
tion, according to the Petrograd cor
respondent of the Morning Post, writ
ing under the date of Saturday. He
adds:
Situation Is Clearing;.
"But behind or beyond all this ap
parently hopeless chaos the forces
which made Russia an empire are not
idle and those who know Russian his
tory understand perfectly well how
matters will end.
"Even as I write the situation is be
coming clear. The elections to the con
stituent assembly will take place, but
the constituent assembly will not meet
success. The Bolsheviki movement,
whatever that movement may really
mean, already has damned the constit
uent assembly.
".Meantime I would call attention to
the following facts:
Gold Reserve Is Safe.
"The vast gold reserve of the Rus
sian empire, which was removed from
Petrograd to the Kremlin in 1913, was
later carried still further into the in
terior. It" is in safe hands.
"General Kaledines, hetman of United
Cossackdom, Is in secure possession,
with trustworthy and disciplined troops
of all arms of all those regions of
European Russia that produced a har-
t this year, and is rapidly captur
ing those remaining territories upon
which Russia relies for its daily bread.
"A vast union, under the name of
the Southeastern Union, has been
formed. It includes the Don territory,
a great part of Little Russia, the lower
Volga provinces and Turkestan, the
area which feeds all Russia. This
union Is extending the promises to
cover the Siberian corn land.
Kaledines in Control.
"General Kaledines, holding the gold
reserve and the bread supplies, is
master of the situation and those her
serves will accept dictation neither
from Kerensky, Lenine" nor anybody
else, least of all from Germany.
"The allies may safely admit a bow
lng acquaintance with the curious in
dividualities thrown up from the depths
by internal disturbances, but for inti
mate friendship and future partner
ship they must l6ok elsewhere, and in
the meantime they must wait uncon
cernedly until their old friends reap
pear above the present turmoil."
PETROGRAD, Sunday, Nov. 25. Elec
tion of delegates to the constituent as
sembly began today and will continue
through Monday and Tuesday. Nine
teen lists, representing various parties,
factions and organizations, are in the
field, including two women's leagues.
The Moscow metropolitan committee
has announced that the elections there
have been postponed for a week.

Food Administration Buyer for Al
lied Nations, Red Cross
and Belgium.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27. The greatest
meat order in the history of the Chi
cago stock yards, and probably of the
world, was placed here today. Joseph
P. Cotton, chief of the meat division
of the food administration, was the
buyer, and the purchase was for the
allied nations, the Red Cross and the
Belgian Relief Commission. -
The tonnage, the kinds of meats in
volved and the time for deliveries will
remain secret, as will the names of the
15 packers who divided the orders.
The order for the United States Army
failed to arrive in time, it was said,
and will be. divided later. It also was
said the greater part of the order will
be delivered after the first of the year.
and that cured meats and lard will
make up a considerable portion of the
whole.
The order was placed under the new
prices established Saturday by the food
administration, allowing the packers
not more than 2 per cent profit on
meat sales. The order was unusual, in
that there was no competition, the
whole thing being shared out at the
Government's own prices, practically at
the dictation of Mr. Cotton.
DEATH LETTER DISCOVERED
Milwaukee Attorney Is Advised
to
Prepare for End. -
MILWAUKEE. Nov. 27. Another
bomb plot has been disclosed in Mil
waukee. This was madtSTknown today,
when a death letter was opened at
police headquarters, and the new de
velopment may lead to the discovery
that a combined plot had been rlanned.
The letter had been writen to At
torney Thomas J. Mahon, who defended
the three Deputy Sheriffs and Federal
agent In the suit started by former
Sheriff E. T. Melms, charging them
with unlawfully disturbing a peace
meeting in Bayview. The letter had
been mailed from Bayview Saturday.
It was written in Italian and was
signed "Deo' and said:
"Prepare for death. You have been
marked."
Attorney Mahon's home is being
guarded.

GERMAN IS BLACKBALLED
Chicago Club Throws Language and
Literature Into Discard.
CHICAGO. Nov. 26. German litera
ture and the German language today
were officially blackballed by the Chi
cago Woman s Club. At a meeting or
the art and literature section the Ger
man study class, consisting of 40 or 60
women, most of them of German extrac
tion, was ordered to disband by the
executive committee.
The propriety, of one section of the
club talking and studying German
while the other sections were engaged
in Red Cross work had been criticised
by club members. The action was taken
at the request of the members of the
class.
LARGE ARMY TO BE NEEDED
Maintenance After W ar Will Be
Large Problem, Says Mr. Eliot.
BOSTON, Nov. 27. The United States
will have to make maintenance of a
large army after war a National prob
lem, as Switzerland has, so long as the
Nation is to be in a league to enforce
peace. President Emeritus Charles W.
Eliot, of Harvard University, declared
at the meeting of the National Federa
tion of Religious Liberals here.
"It has been demonstrated," he said,
"that a democracy may be slow, but
that it is efficient when it gets going."

WAR RUMORS FLY THICKLY
Reports of French Army Entering
Mulhouse- and of Alsatians Re

Heard by Belgians.
BY HUGH GIBSON.
Secretary of the American legation in Tt mis
sels at the outbreak of the war. Copy
right. 117, Doubleday, Page & Co., by
Otis F. Wood.
(Continued.)
Our refugee train left this morning
and took 800 more of the poor people.
Where they all turn up from, I don't
know, but each day brings us a fresh
and unexpected batch. Many of the
cases are very sad, but If we stop to
give sympathy in every deserving case.
we should never get anything practical
done for them.
Today's budget of news is that the
French have got to Mulhouse and have
inflicted a decisive defeat upon the
Germans. According to reports, the
Alsatians went mad when the French
troops crossed the frontier for the
first time in 44 years. They tore up
and burned the frontier posts and
generally gave way to transports of
joy. I would have given a lot to see
the crowds in Paris.
Captive Germans Ignorant.
A letter came yesterday from Omer,
the legation footman, who is at Tirle-
mont jvith the artillery. He said he
had not yet been hit, although he had
heard the bullets uncomfortably near.
He wound up by saying that he had
beaucoup de courage and I believe
him.
It seems that some of the German,
troops did not know what they were
attacking and thought they were in
France. When brqught here as pris
oners, some of them expressed sur
prise to find that Paris was so small
They seem to have thought that they
were in France and the goal not far
away.
Belgians Are Indignant.
The King today received through
other channels the message from the
Emperor of Germany in regard to
peace, which we declined to transmit.
I have not seen its text, but hear it is
practically identical with the message
sent us, asking the King to name h
conditions for the evacuation of Liege
and the abandonment of his allies, so
that Germany may be entirely free of
Belgian opposition in her further op
erations against France.
I have heard among Belgians only

Krelsler Is Informed lie Can Find
Preacher at His Office
at Any Time.
NEW TORK, Nov. 27. (Special.) A
violent controversy is raging between
Rev. -Newell Dwight Hillis. pastor of
historic Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
and Fritz Krelsler, famous Austrian
ivolinist. Should Kreisler care to se
cure personal satisfaction from Dr. Hil
lis for the latter's criticism of him for
sending money to an enemy country, it
can be very quickly arranged, it was
learned today. Kreisler took exception
to certain remarks made by Dr. Hillis
in" his sermon on Sunday. He said, in
substance, that the minister was a liar.
branded the criticism he had made as
"cowardly," and demanded instant re
traction. Mr. Kreisler said:
"In his cowardly. Irresponsible and
unethical attack upon me. Dr. Hillis
said: 'It is well known that Kreisler
is an Austrian Captain, and to obtain
his release from the army he promised
to send a larger percentage of his in
come back to the home government.'
"This Is a baseless and malicious lie.
Knowing Dr. Hillis to be a minister of
the gospel, I refuse to believe that he
uttered this lie in full cognizane of its
falsity and Import. I expect him to
retract this misstatement publicly and
without delay." v
To which Dr. Hillis replied this morn
ing from his home at 6fi Orange street,
Brooklyn:
"No man can threaten me out of my
conviction, rnd I can always be found
at my office in the Arbuckle Institute
at the corner of Orange and Hicks
streets in Brooklyn, and any Austrian
officer who is sending comfort and aid
to the enemy can find me at any hour
of the day, or, if he prefers, at night.
and he may an well know in advance
that there will be no withdrawal on my
part now or at any future time of one
syllable of any statement made in be
half of our srllies."

That Blow Was Being Struck
at Morale of Italian Army.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 27. As the
result of a series of raids conducted by
Federal agents working under the di
rection of Henry M. White, immigration
inspector. 55 Italians, alleged to be in
ternational anarchists, are tonight
locked In cells at the Seattle Immigra
tion station, while a number of others
are under arrest at Spokane and Ta
coma. It is believed that in all nearly
80 men aro under arrest.
Those arrested are believed to be
members of the Clrcola Studi Sociall. a
secret anarchistic society said to have
a membership of 200.000 in the United
Slates. They are said to have plotted
the assassination of the King of Italy
and bloody disturbances in this country
as part of the world-wide propaganda
for Teutonic victory in the war.
Work Commences Sunday.
The Federal net, skilfully set for the
alleged plotters, began to close Sunday
and the last arrests were made today,
when Mr. White made official an
nouncement of the roundup.
Of the 55 men in custody here 22
were arrested In Seattle, 14 at Cle Elum,
seven at Roslyn, eight at Black Dia
mond and four at Kenton. Many of
those arrested here were employed in
shipyards working on Government con
tracts. Most srC. these from the out
lyLng points are coal miners.
Officers making arrests here met
with armed resistance .in one instance
when, deputies, in the waterfront dis
trict were fired upon, but none was
wounded. Arrests elsewhere were made
without trouble.
Propaganda Is Alleged.
According to Federal officers the sus
pects. In co-operation with other an
archistic societies throughout the
country and Europe, have been plotting
to ruin the morale of the Italian armies
and injure the cause of the allies by the
circulation of the literature branding
the war one waged for capitalistic
profit. -
"We believe the majority of the men
taken in these raids are guilty of try
ing to destroy the morale of the Italian
armies through the circulation of their
anarchistic propaganda," said Commis

In Future All Women Who Enter
Stores With Knitting Bags Will
Be Viewed With Suspicion.
TACOMA, Wash.. Nov. 27. (Special.)
The "handwriting on the wall" has
been writ for the knltttng-bag, but not
by Tacoma womertr-
They have lo, these many weeks,
placed their hearts in the capacious
"Innards" of that gay and giddy cross
between a suitcase and a laundry-bag,
with room and to spare for everything
from a powder puff to a half-knit
sweater for "him," and from party
shoes to all the necessary garments
for a week-ending in the country.
Tacoma merchants have spelled the
doom for the knitting-bag.
From now until at least the Christ
mas rush Is over every Tacoma woman
who carries a knitting-bag into a Ta
coma store will be under suspicion.
She Is as likely as not to have a store
detective watching her, whether her
name Is spelled in letters of gold in
Tacoma's social register or whether
she uses the bag in' which to carry
someone's laundry home; though the
bag be one to bring a ransom from
Oriental Prince or a piece of ticking
left over from the last home-made pil
lows.
Merchants say they have lost more
goods through shoplifting since the
bags came into style than ever before.

Attorneys Fail to Move
Defendant.
TRAGIC TALE IS REAFFIRMED
Answers to All Questions Are
Deliberately Made.
SHOOTING NOT RECALLED
Chilian Heiress Who Shot Husband
Composed and Self-Possessed;
Claim of Mental Derange
ment lo lie Pressed.
MIXF.OLA. N. Y.. Nov. 27. Four
hours of searching cross-examination
by District Attorney Charles R. Weeka
today failed to move Mrs. Blanca d
Saulles from the story she told from
the witness stand yesterday in her
trial on a charge of murdering her
former husband. John L. de Saulles.
The 23-year-old Chilean heiress re
Iterated her version of the tragedy of
the night of August 3 at the De Saulles
Long Island home in the same dispas
sionate manner In which she testified
yesterday. Her answers were deliber
ate and were frequently made after
pauses in which she seemed to be giv
ing them consideration or striving to
freshen her recollection. Her attiturto
of complete self-possession, notwith
standing the unusual nature of the ex
amination she was undergoing, was a.
subject of comment among the specta
tors who crowded the trial chamber.
Once, when his questioning had been
proceeding In a rather tedious vein tot
some minutes, the District Attorney
veered unexpectedly and, in an abrupt
tone, asked:
When did you first know you- had
shot your husband?"
Question l-'alln f I'nrpone.
The questiun failed of Its evident
purpose of taking the witness una
wares, for she looked steadily at the.
Prosecutor, delrberated for some sec
onds and finally answered, slowly:
"Why Dr. Wight told me."
Did he tell you you had shot hjnx
in the- back?" was the next question.
"I don't remember," the witness an
swered, after a pause.
There was a reversion to this point
some minutes later, wnen tne 1'rose
cutor asked:
"When did you first know that your
husband was shot in the back he was,
wasn't he?"
"Was he?" questioned Mrs. da
Saulles in return.
"I'm asking you," retorted Weeks.
"Why, It was In court last week
when I heard Marshall Ward testify,"
said the defendant finally.
Marshall Ward was an intlmato
friend of De Saulles and was called by
the prosecution as a witness last week.
Shooting; ot ltemrmbtred.
Of the actual shooting, Mrs. da
Saulles maintained her claim that she
could recall nothing that her memory
utterly failed to serve her In relation
to what happened after her divorced
husband told her she could not have
her son. She clung to her previous
assertion that not until her awaken
ing in the Nassau Jail some days later,
did she again become rational.
With Justice David F. Manning's per
mission, the District Attorney sought to
assist the witness by asking whether
she did not remember having told offi
cers who arrested her that they would
find the revolver with which she did
the shooting lying near a hatrack in
the hall of the De Saulles home: that
the following morning she wrote a
check for J1000, with which to bail out
her maid, Susanne Monteau, who had
been held as a material witness, and
that soon after the shooting she
thought of such things as "lawyers and
money.
On none of these, however, was tha
witness able to amplify her story, she
declared. Justice Manning intimated today that
night sessions might be inaugurated
tomorrow so as to hasten the gather- "
lng of evidence. Indications are tha
trial will extend well into next week
before finally going to the Jury.
Letters to De Saulles Head.
Letters written by Mrs. de Saulles
to her husband during the time she al
leges he was "Indifferently neglectful"
and unfaithful to her were read
Into the record by District Attorney
Weeks during the crcst-txaminatiotu
Endearing phrases and warm profes
sions of love contained in them were
emphasized by tne lawyer as indicating
that Mrs. de Saulles- alleged marital
difficulties did not weigh so heavily
upon her as she claimed in her direct
testimony.
"My heart was broken, but I would
not let him know; I never told anyone,
explained Mrs. de Saulles when asked
why she wrote the love letter If her
relations with her husband were as
unhappy as she had claimed.
One of these read In part:
"Dear Jack: 1 want to tell you that
I am really sorry for having made you
so unhappy. . . . That I was not
able to make you a good wife will ever
be a regret to me. ... I hope, from
the bottom of my heart, that you will
find the happiness that is your dul."
"De Saulles made me believe that X
was always at fault," said the de
fendant In explaining her reason for
writing this letter.
