The ma chinery of the food administration was set In motion today to com plete preparations for government control on November 1 of 20 of Amer ica's principal foodstuffs.

HOTTttllDAM, Oct. 1 !. The state ment!! of Vice-Admiral Von Capelle, the (Ierman minister of marine, have turned the relchstag into a theater of t he wildest scandal, says the Voer wuts, discussing the exposure of mu tinies within the Cerman navy. The socialist newspaper adds that there Is no shadow of proof that any deputies were Kiiilty of illegal action in con nection w ith the mutiny. The Vossische Coining describes the atack on the independent social ists ns a deplorable and ilegal trick on tho part of the government. The Tagcblatt contends that if the relch stag believes that the independent socialists are guilty, they must be handed over to the court. Tho Koelischne Zcitung expresses surprise that the government, "when it had such strong proofs of guilt against three persons suspected of treason, did not ask the consent of tho relchstag to take legal measures. No relchstag would have been able to refuse consent." Alsace-Lorraine I.ssue. AMSTKKDAM, Oct. 1 1. The relch stag will take a decisive step forward ia regard to the question of Alsace Lorraine within a few days, the Voss ische Zeitung of Merlin says. The relchstag majority supports the idea of the formation of a monarchial fed eral state with democratic and par liamentary guarantees. The news paper helieves that this plan also is favored by tho imperial government, which has abandoned the scheme of dividing Alsace-Lorraine between Prussia, and Pavaria. During the debate in the relchstag yesterday Iieputy Conrad I laus.sinann said that the declaration of Dr. Von Kuehlinann, the foreign secretary, that apart from Alsace-Lorraine there is no absolute bar to peace. was tan tamount to a definite undertaking that Belgium should be given up. "That should ho heralded forth to all the nations," the deputy added. Disarmament Talked. (instil v Streseniann, a national lib eral. said he would not opose a re duction of armaments, but he thought that disarmament hardly was prac tical politics. Count Von Wcslaiy, a conservative, thought that Germany's answer to the pope ought to have made clear that Germany would not undertake to dis arm, uud hoped that Von Ktiehlmann had not tied himself to yielding up Helgium. George Lodeboiir, social democrat leader, dwelt on tho damage done to the German came hy tho revela tions concerning Von Luvhnrg, the German minister to Argentina. He considered that the populations of oc cupied territory should be permitted to decide their own fate. SI VESSEL AFIRE SKATTLK, Oct. 11.

The new system of front line defenses inaugurated by tho Germans who instead of utilizing line trenches, organized nests of shell holes, proved a regular trap in the battle just ended. The German troops who occupied the craters without other shelter, when they found dur ing tho fighting that their officers were not with thein, deserted ns soon as the French approached. Tho Ger man officers meanwhile were shel tered in concrete pill boxes further to tho rear. The correspondent spoke today with several prisoners, officers and men, all of whom seemed to he in a terrible condition of fatigue. The of ficers declared that their companies were reduced to a strength of only 40 men, some of whom were mere hoys of 18. Tho men said they were well provided with food while on the front lines, hut that in the Interior of the country tho privations were great.

Gained Ground Consolidated and Counter-Attacks Repulsed Ger mans Strike to Regain Lines at Verdun, But Meet Defeat Teuton Lines Imperilled in Flanders. Ity Associated Press, Oct. Jl. M.vtreiiiclv bad weather on the Plun ders front is limit ing the activities o the belligerents. The allies, however, have maintained themselves in the territory they gained in Tuesday's great drive. At only one point has their hold slipped ut all, and that was on n piirtieulurly low sector along the Uritisli front below Poel eappcllc, where their advance posts were drawn in a little. iahis CoiiNolbliited. While the work of consolidation ' and prcparalion for tho renewuf of the offensive is proceeding, (Ierman countcr-atlaek.s are being held off by Ihe entente guns. Lust night tho Prench had one of these attacks to deal with in the region east of Draei bank, but broke it up. Some attention is being attracted by the persistence of the Oermun ef forts to regain ground on the Prench front in the Verdun region. Ill this connection it is noted that recently oii'j' of the (Icrimin military critics, in alluding to tlie situation in Flanders, spoke of the peril to which (he Oer innns might he subjected on the Ver dun front if the (Ierman lines ill the Belgian area should give way.
