n ASHIXGTOK. Nov. 13. (Special.)
President Wilson has determined to put
an end to the activities of Teutonic
egents in the United States.
t.v his direction, the Department of
Justice and the Secret Service are co
operating to secure the ncccsary proof
to punish the mm caur"it in projects
which endanger the prace and safety
ol the country. More important, how
ever, is the President's direction that
the search shall bo continued for those
"higher up." As soon as he Is in pos
session of all the facts. Mr. Wilson wil
lake steps to stop the pernicious ac
tivity of diplomats and Consular offi
cers who are directing the work of de
stroying munitions factories, ships and
other enterprises.
Von 3uber Under SilHnlclon.
Ir the President carries his intention
to its conclusion, and the charges now
on file should be substantiated, it
would surprise no one should this Gov
eminent request Austria-Hungary to
recall Herr von Nuber, its Consul Gen
oral in New York.
Count von Kernstorff. the German
Ambassador, has been under suspicion
lor months, but in the absence of proof
it Is clearly impossible to take any ac
tion against him. Should the revela
tions of Dr. Goriear. recently resigned
as Austro-IIungartan Consul, bo sup
ported by evidence, then whatever dip
lomatic Consular officer is Involved
will go.
The Austrian anu German Embassies
deny the truth of Goriear's allegations,
but the Department of Justice today
had the promise of documentary evi
dence to substantiate them.
Iternun DocumrntN Received.
Tn addition the State Department has
received from the British government
the documents carried by a German
messenger. These contain a great deal
of information regarding German and
Austrian activities and supplement the
papers taken from James F. J. Archi
bald, who was familiar with the con
tents pt Dumba's dispatches. The De
partment of Justice lias not initiated
any action against Archibald because
It could not obtain proof that he had
knowledge of the character of the dis
patches he was conveying. j
A long and exhaustive study of the
status applicable to the case of Kay,
the alleged dynamiter, and his confed
erates, was held today in the office of
Attorney-General Gregory, in which
Assistant Attorney-General Warren and
Vnited States District Attorney Mar
shall, of New York, took part. Per
haps the most important result of the
day's work was the conclusion that the
preat body of Federal statutes is per-!
plextngly wanting in laws to apply to
espionage or partisan conspiracy.

FETROGRAD. Nov. 13. (Special.)
The districts of Batum and Ardaghan,
which are inhabited by Georgians who
were forced to accept the Mohammedan
religion by former conquerors, have
been the theater of fighting since the
beginning of the present war. First
the Turks invaded the territory last
inter and spring. The Russians drove
mem out later and reconquered the
country. The result of these operations
is mat the districts are in ruins.
Jn Araaghan, a region which for
merly was like a garden, only nine
villages out of 43 are left. 19 having
oeen completely and 15 partly wiped
out, while of 21,000 inhabitants only
uui nave survived, and 1000 of these
are without means of subsistence. In
the Armvin district out of 25,000 in
uaoitants only 100 remain, and they
are in complete destitution. In Mor
gul and Gone the population has been
almost annihilated, only 60 families
surviving the passing war wave.
The sturdy mountain people are suf
fering silently and hence no help is
iorthcoming. The few survivors have
taken refuge in the mountains and the
neighboring places.
NEEDY WILL TAKE CENSUS
School Clerk Announces Plan to Aid
Cnemployed This Tear.
The school census, provided, by law.
this year will be taken by men from
the ranks of the unemployed, accord
ing to the plan of R. II. Thomas, school
clerk, under whose supervision the
census is taken.
Heretofore the census has been taken
by the teachers in the various sections
of the city, and the principals of the
different schools have had charge of
the enumeration.
The enumeration is set for the week
of November 21. The cniirfpr.ti.FC
number 105, and they will be assigned
to territory, so far as is possible, with
which they are familiar. The estimated
census Is 48.000, an increase of - 3000
over that of last year. The exact
number of school children in the di
trict last year numbered 41.935.

Gathered on Ground.
Respect for Americans Lost.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. Serious
charges of misgovern ment in the Phil
ippines resulting from President Wil
son's policies will be made the basis
of demands in the forthcoming session
of Congress for a searching investiga
tion of the conditions of these Oriental
wards of the United States.
The Administration is preparing to
press again the enactment of the Jones
Philippine independence bill, which was
passed by the House In the last Con
gress, but sidetracked in the Senate
when the Democratic majority found
itselt embarrassed by the evidence of
the present unfitness of the Filipinos
4or self-government.
(lOrenmnt la Demoralised.
As a result of recent revelations of
the demoralization in the Philippines
produced by Democratic rule and ef
forts to demonstrate the capacity of
the Filipinos for sclf-goternraent, the
opposition to the Jones measure will
be greatly augmented.
Several Republican members of Con
gress have been In the Philippines this
year gathering evidence of the scan
dals of misgovernment which have
been suppressed by the Administra
tion censorship. The Administration,
foreseeing the danger, has been forti
fying itself to meet the Republican
attack. General Mclntyre. chief of the
War Department Bureau of Insular Af
fairs, has returned, from a sojourn of
several months in the islands, and will
tell Congress that the Republican
charges are misrepresentations.
Order Receives Setback.
The Republican inquiry into condi
tions in the Philippines has beer, di
rected by Representative Miller, of
Minnesota, member of the House com
mittee on -insular affairs, who recently
returned from an extended tour of the
islands.
Summarized, Representative Miller's
findings are:
The policy of placing Filipinos in
control, instituted by Governor-General
Harrison at the instance of President
Wilson, has resulted in "complete gov
ernmental chaos."
The orderly government exising be
fore the Democratic regime has been
destroyed and progress in educating
and improving the condition of the
Filipinos has received a severe set
back. The chief result of native control of
the -government land administration
was a graft scandal, the participants
in which were protected from prosecu
tion. Dlnewe Is Prevalent.
Disease is prevalent in the islands
as a result of the failure to enforce
the sanitation laws, and the general
hospital work has been disorganized.
Graft, in native municipal adminis
tration and robbery of the mails are
common. -

NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 13. The
Tale eleven won from Princeton here
this afternoon. 13 to 7. No gridiron
classic of recent years has furnished
greater thrills, individual playing
prowess or form upset than this tri
umph of the blue over the orange and
black.
It was a case of powerful football
combination just beginning to. find it
self, overwhelming by brute strength
an eleven far more finished in playing
tactics, but lacking the ability to cope
with a Yale eleven fighting desperate
ly. As a team the. Princeton machine
was superior to the blue, but the
smooth Tiger juggernaut was ripped
apart by a bulldog squad gone berserk.
Heroes Rise and Fall.
Gridiron heroes rose and fell during
the struggle, but none reached the
heights attained by Otis L. Guernsey,
whose clever field goal-kicking paved
the way for a Yale victory. Twice in
the second period Guernsey drove the
ball through the Tiger goal posts when
Captain Wilson, of the Tale team, found
that , the eleven as a wnote was un
equal to the task of talcing the sphe
roid across the opponents' line. Both
dropkicks were made from near mid-
field and the performance of the
Greenwich, . Conn., .player won him a
place among the kicking stars of foot
ball. "Pie" Way, pitcher of the blue base
ball team, shared the glory of the vic
tory with Guernsey, for It was his for
tune to scoop up a punt fumbled by
Tibbott snd race across the goal line

and the first that the Ells have made
In the past two contests.
Tale F-leven Hilarious.
Way's run was one of the most spec
tacular features of a struggle that bris
tled with startling plays, and tonight
Guernsey. Way. Captain Wilson and
Emergency Coach Tom Shevlin are the
heroes of both town and gown. For
Princeton nothing remains but the
memory of a season that started In a
blaze of glory and closed in the bitter
ness ot unexpected defeat by both Yale
and Harvard.
Close to 60.000 spectators thronged
into the Yale football area, filling the
circular tiers of seats until only one
or two bare spots showed in the great
gray amphitheater. The weather and
the gridiron conditions were perfect.
From the opening of the game it was
seen that the Elis had been keyed up
to the do-or-die stage of football and
they assailed the Princeton warriors
like wild men, making up in individual
power and brilliancy what they lacked
in team work and strategy, it was
this fighting spirit, aided by the breaks
in the luck of the game and errors by
Princeton, which swung the pendulum
of victory to the blue.
Bine Soon Strikes Fmc,
The ball was carried or kicked up
and down the gridiron throughout the
first quarter without decided advantage
for either team, although Yale showed

Saturday's War Moves
ALTHOUGH London refuses to share
the ' consternation which the dis
solution of the Greek Chamber has
caused in France, no attempt is made to
minimize the seriousness of the situa
tion nor to ignore the fact that King
Constantine's action has put a definite
quietus on all hopes of Greek co-operation
in the near future.
The Greek King's suppression of the
majority in the Chamber, of which M.
Venizelos is the leader, is not regarded
in London as a definite step toward
luinuing a secret compact with the
central powers. On the other hand the
present situation makes it obvious that
wnatever kindly intentions Greece en
tertains toward the entente powers
must await the new elections, which
are more than a month off. for ful-
niiment.
The report that Lord Kitchener, Sec
retary for War, has been sent on
mission to King Constantlne, to whom
he will offer new proposals, has re
ceived no confirmation, but the coinci
dence of his departure wtib the King'
resolution to dissolve the Chamber
manes me supposition plausible. The
report also gains interest from the
announcement - from several sources
that an Austro-German mission has al
ready arrived at Athens to formulate
a definite understanding between
Greece and the central powers.
At the same -time the Roumanian
King is said to be receiving deputa
tions from both belligerents, but the
position of Greece and Roumania. de
spite aipiomatic pressure, is still un
modified.
tseyond thei German announcement
of the capture of the passes and
heights of Jastrebac. carrying slightly
farther southward the Serbian drive of
the Austro-Germans, there has been
no recent ' achievement on cither side
in the Serbian campaign. French cav
airy patrols are reported to have sur
rounded Veles, but the Bulgarians still
hold the town.

When confronted with these dis

she had secured the corpse and brought

Miss Crumley left-Atlanta about two

said she was to take in charge the

orphan asylum. Her girl friends had
made up a wardrobe of beautiful
