Government Uses Incident for Attack
Upon Socialists, Who Are Blamed
Decisive Step on Alsace-Lor-Lorraine
to Be Taken Disarma
ment Opposed as Impractical.
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.

FLANDURS, Oct. 10. Hy tho Asso
ciated Press. 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.
ThJ French troops today, despite
the condition of tho ground, made a
further advance, straightening out
their lino toward the borders of
Toutholst forest and taking addition

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.
On Yci-iliiii Fmiit.
The Prench are very near ficrmnn
territory northeast of Verdun end u
forced weakening of the (Icrninn
lines there might well have n serious
effect upon the whole military situa
tion, well placed lis the French now
are for Ihe initiation of n drive from
the outlying Verdun positions. '
The (Icrninn effort to push buck
the Prench here, or possibly to regain
the lost initiative in the region, may
possibly he traced to Inuctivity in
Ibis respect on the part of the tier
inaii Inch coiumaud!
Small success, however, is attend
ing the crown prince's efforts in this
direction, lie tried again last night
