Iley ucmau, n San Francisco architect, said he was twice arrested as a spy anil twice sentenced to death, once by (he French and once by (he Germans, was a passenger on the steamship Kochambeau, which arrived here to day from Havre. French pohliers first nrresled lloy neninn at Tarseou, but his appeal io American nnthoritics saved him, he said. Later he wa- arre-tcd at Hei delberg, ho said, but again gained his freedom ami returned to France, where he met Miss Florence Lnenva, a one-time schoolmate, whom he mar ried, llo brought his brido to Amer ica with him.

SENTENCED W () or n.v.mcralo lue wriu.it uaj. t . er.il of L HELP CAVALRY BERLIN, Nov. 0, via The Hague and London, 10:."i0 n. in. Germnn cavalry have been called upon in (he present war to perform duties of n character differing widely from thoe emphasized in mnuotivers u few years ago. Only rarelv has there been an opportunity to launch the thrilling eavalt charges (hen favored. In stead, the high-hooted horsemen fre quently aro u-od both in (he ea-t and west to hold trenches nnd till out the lines of tho infantry. Kniperor William, in an address to (ho officers of a cavalry division which ho reviewed in a llelgiau town, said : "I learn with pleasure that the cav alry fought brilliantly. The horse men in this war have been intrusted with tasks such as I never believed possible. It is perhaps my fault that (ho training in times of ucaeo never iueluded tho duties which tho cavalry aro here oerfonning. The cavalrv fought with bayonets nnd entrench ing tools and General Von Marwitz tells mo that tho infantry are proud to chargo with their brothers of the cavalrv. "I hope, however, that tho cavalry may -ot have an omuirtunitv to use (heir lances if we succeed, with the heln of tho dear God who already has permitted us so manv successes, in siinounilin- the eueuy."

DEAR W WLHELM ALLIES FIGHTING ONGERMANSt THE PLACES In Silesia, East Prussia and In Alsace Role of Invasion Is Reversed and Kaiser's Forces in Battle Upon Their Own Territory-iRusslan Ad vance Most Important Development LONDON, Not. 0, 1:0,'. p. m. At three points In tlm area of hostilities In Silesia, In Hast Prussia, anil In Alsace forces of tho allies Were on German soil today, and' for tho first time since tho outbreak of hostilities conditions seemed to presago, lu tho opinion of llritish military observers, a reversal of the roles ot tho con tending armies. I'p to the present timo Germany has been fighting In the territory of her enemies, but now gho would ap pear to be more or less seriously menaced from the cast by the victor ious Russian armies, tho advance guards of which are less than 200 miles from Berlin. It Is true that there was a brief Russian invasion of Hast Prussia during tho early stages ot tho war, whllo the French have for a long time held their posi tion in Alsace; but the latest devel opment lu the Russian advance, if tho interpretation placed on It In London Is not all wrong. Is tho most Important, ot the campaign, up to tho. present time. It is mcro speculation, of course, to say that Germany may bo forced forthwith to retiro from Uelglum, or oven coaso her offensivo In this arena. In certain areas ot Franco and UclgUim the allies are taking a vigorous offensivo but It is too early yet to predict that Germany will not renew her smashing tactics In an ef fort to break through tho lino and that thcro will not bo much hard fighting around Ypres. In any event German retirement from Belgium probably would bo very slow, as tho forcos of Emperor Wil liam liavo mado tho entire country behind their battlellno ono vast for tification, with trenches oven moro carefully prepared than thoso thoy aro still holding In Franco. With Tstng-Tau with Japancso ad ministration and tho release for other service of tho Japanese nnd British vessels used in tho capturo ot Hit German Btronghold, there should be a sharp impetus to naval activity in tho Far Kast, as theso vessels inoy now center their attention upon tho roving German cruisers which have been so successful In their opornt'nH ngalnst British shipping.
