CHAIRMAN HURLEY IS
EXPECTED HOME FROM
EUROPE IN JANUARY
Return Believed To Have Been
Hastened By Schwab's Flea
To Be Released.
PhiladeliJiiia, Dec. 7. Chairman Hur
ley of the United States shipping boai'd
is expected to sail for home "a few
days before Christmas," according to
reports from authoritative sources. -
Hurley's return, it was believed, was
hastened "somewhat by the plea of
Charles M. Schwab to be relieved of
the direction of tilie Emergency Fleet
corporation.
Officials Expect Kim
Officials here today while admitting
they expected -Chairman Hurley to re
turn "around the first of the year,"
declined to say definitely when they
expected Mm.
The lifting of the ban on private
d'lipbuUding was regarded hero as the
best evidence that the actual program
of ship construction was being trim
med to the minimum. In connection
with this indication officials pointed
out that Director General Schwab was
finishing plans which will permit him
,to turn over the work to Hurley with
out leaving a mass of uncompleted de
i tails.
Want to Provide Work
In allowing a resumption ot building
for private account, the gh-pping board
was said to have been actuated by a
desire to provide work for all men who
care to return to the shipyards from
the annv. The board has limited the
(construction of steel ships to construc
tion for American firms only for the
reason tlliat a danger exis'ed that too
many foreign firms might engage our
yards, to the detriment ot American
interests, it was said. Few wood ships
will be built for foreign countries, it
I was believed.
I It is generally expected among ship
ping board officials that with Schwabs
retirement many changes in the ship
ping hoard organization would come.
Activities thereafter, necessarily would
have to center around Hurey. Charles
l'ic7., general manager of tho fleet cor
poration, probably will Also quit as
scon as he can be" relieved. The retire
ments while not meaning n chango in
the board's personnel, were regarded
as beinsr the forerunners of important
moves toward making the board a com
pact business directing group an
agency to promote the shipping inter
ests of pea;e rather than to develop a
giant war construction program.
Will Complete Program
'New York, Dec. 7. Completion with
out abatement of tho construction pro
gram of the United 5ats shipping
board and the complete removal of all
restrictions on foreign trade, were urg
ed in resolutions adopted by the na
tional foreign trade council in session

DIIIIO
Revelations From
Chapters of Hun
Colonel Schroeder, an officer with the armies of German Crown Prince, once
trusted messenger of the emperor, confident and companion of Baroness Else
Baronin Schweirin, and until recently aide-de-camp to Rupprecht, the Crown
Prince of Bavaria, no wa deserter in Denmark, makes sensational revelations
and reveals the hideous secrets of kaiserly intrigue before and during the war.
At first, the new scheme against tho
kaiser moved but slowly. The German
generals whom the Crown Prince ap
proached, held themselves aloof. Even
those vftio were known to be dissatis
fied with the kaiser aud t0 predict his
fall, would not openly commit themsolv
es, and without their support the pro
ject was bound to fail.
The situation seemed almost helpless
till one evening, at tho close of a re
cherche little dinner, the Baroness made
a suggestion.
A Woman Leads The Conspiracy.
"You great captains,1' she said,
"Don't know how to conspire. It takes
a woman to do that. You get your own
way in the world by ordering people
about. We poor creatures, have to flat
ter and cajole and porsuade. Hence
we succeed where you fail. By far tho
best thing you can do is to do is to take
me into thc conspiracy. Make me a
party to your schemes and promise me
my reward, and I will undertake to
bring General Falkenhayn over to your
side in a wek. With his support, and
feeling run dead against the kaiser and
von Hindenburg, the ball is at yout
feet."
"And what, pray, is your reward
you claim,?" asked Rupprecht.
"This: That your highness goes
through a morganatic marriage with
me within a week after Falkenhayn con
sents to act agi-;t the kaiser."
For a moment Rupprecht hesitated
and thc Crown Prince watched him In
tently: "Then I agree," he said sharp
ly, and the Baroness set out that night
armed with n letter from the Crown
Prince himself.
The moment was a propitious one for
the attempt bold as it was. Falken
havn, a memlier of the Prince's Camar-
il!:i, who had forced the war on the
kaiser, was known to be consumed by a
fierce jealousy of the marshal who had
supplanted him to-wit: von Hinden
burg. Moreover, the popularity both

National Union Now Controls
A3 Of Ukraine And Is In
tensely Anti-German.
Lausanne, Switzerland, Dec. 7.
Forces of tho Ukrainian national union
have occupied Kieff after a severe bal
tlo in which the casualties totalled 10
000, according , to dispatches received
from Kieff by the, Ukrainian bureau
here today.
Among those killed were Gcnoral
Skoropadski, hetinan of the Ukraine,
and 500 Russian officers.
The national union, the dispatches
said, now controls all of Ukraine.
Skoropadski, backed by the Gor
Germans, became virtual dictator of the
Ukraine when that district seceded
j'from Russia and became an independ
ent republic. Tho peasants revolted
'when the German troops began to seize
j their grain and livestock and weer soon
(joined by the workmen, who tied up
(transportation and industries of the
country with a general strike. The na
tional union, formed by the Ukrainian
proletariat, is not definitely pro-ally,
but Is intensely anti-German. With
drawal of German troops from the
Ukraine apparently gave the union the
opportunity to overthrow and seize the
government.
Eisner Can Prove That
Wilhchn Started The War
Berne, Dec. 7. Kurt Eisner, head of
the Bavarian government has promised
the Bavarinn council that he will pub
lish war office documents with margin
al comments in the former kaiser's
handwriting, which will .convict Wil
helm of responsibility for starting the
war. ,

that democratic German peoples parties

of the kaiser and of Hindenburg him
self was at low ebb. The German peo
ple were incensed at the prolongation
of tho war, and at the almost innumer
able deceits that had been practised up
on them. Those who knew Germany
best affirm that thc throne was in dan-!
gcr, and there could be no question
whatever that a bold move out by the
Prince's party, with Falkenhayn at
their head, might be followed by
startling results.
Small wonder, thorcfore, that it was
with a shaking hand and a voice trem
bling with excitement that Prince Rup
precht, thc man of iron, hut as I often
thought of no blood, read out the cy
pher telegram from his inamorata an-J
nouneing her success. Falkenhayn had
agreed to throw his lot with Rupprecht
and the Crown Prince and if need be,
was prepared, at thc proper time, to
lead out a section of thc army against
thc kaiser, whose power, already broken
would receive a mortal wound.
Crown Prince "Willie" Jubilant.
The Crown Prince was widely jubil
ant. Ho insisted on giving a dinner on
a lavish scale to the Baroness, Prince
Rupprecht, and myself, and made ar
rangements for it t0 take place next
evening, when the lady rejoined us.
The guests were to bo few and care
fully chosen. "We must preserve the
strictest secrecy," he told Prince
Rupprecht, "for if the kaiser hears ev
en a whisper of what is in the wind
he will act at once, and we shall be
ruined. Remember it is essential that he
should know nothing. Victory in this
struggle will puss to the side who acts
first and strikes hardest."
And he went on to indulge, as was
his wont, in a long disquisition oa mili
tary mutters, proclaiming, inter alia,
his own prowess as a commander; prow
ess that Hindenburg and the other Ger
man generals did not always appreciate.
An additional reason for observing the
sccreev that the Crown Prince insisted

IN UNENVIABLE LIGHT
Hearst Berlin Correspondent
On Payroll Of German
Embassay.
Washington, Dec. 7. The Washing
ton Post, listed in German correspond
ence before senate probe yesterday as
for sale or hire under Its former own
er, the late John K. McLean, printed
today a statement claiming that "it
'is another of Von Bernstorff 's infam
lous lies."
I Edward B. McLean, son of John B.
i McLean, now editor-president of the
Post said.
I "My father purchased the Post for
.me. He managed it in my interest. If
'any proposition had been on foot te
seU the paper or ruin it by handing it
over to any special interest, I would
have known it. i
" Von Bernstorff was anxious to put
.through anything that would help his
government. He often lieu to his gov
ernment and he was often fooled by
sharpers, as previous dispatcher have
proved. This lie regarding the Washing
ton Post is on a par with tho r'est of
tho German propaganda.''
The iPost has been known under the
younger McLean's management as dis
tinctly pro-American and pro-ally.
" Why Propaganda Failed
German propagandist initiated by Dr.
Dernberg in this country failed, large
ly because of the sinking of the Lusi
tania, and because a suitable editor for
a pro-German organ could not be found.
Ambassador Bernstorff so reported
to his government according to evi
dence presented today by A. Bruce
Bie'aski of tho departmci t of justice
before the senate committee investigat
ing German propaganda.
Importing to (Berlin, Nov. 1, 1910,
however! Bernstorff said that the peace
propaganda had been most successful.
, Affidavits and reports tending to
show that iBraun, editor of Fair vrlny
had received a number of checks from
Bernstorff and the Gernmr. embassy,
were submitted.. One of these was for
$5000 and another for $3000 and one
for $1500. vThc checks in most cases
were made Out to tho MFair Play

Bielaski said. He did not know that

Secret
Royalty I
upon lay in tho fact that tho kaiser had
returned suddenly to Berlin, and might
at any moment, as his son suggested,
seize the persons of tho conspirators,
and nip the whole thing in the bud,
. Falkenhayn a Plotter.
He had already summoned von Falk
enhayn to the capital, but as yet wo
suspected nothing, and if we could but
mature our plans without his doing so
doing so.
Rupprecht and tho Crown' Princo
could make him prisoner, and themselv
es the real rulers of Germany, giving
out that the kaisor had developed signs
of mental aberation and needed con
trol over him.
That was the plan that was provision
ally decided oa at tho banquet to the
Baroness next evening. It was a gor
geous affair, given, for thc sake of
greater precaution at thc home of a
supporter of the Crown Prince in tho
suburbs. Thc Baroness was the only
ludy present, and her health was drunk
with boundless enthusiasm. Plans were
discussed, details of the coup d'etat
agreed upon, and finally it was arrang
ed that she should proceed that even
ing to General- Falkenhayn and give
him, at his hotel, a letter from the
Crown Prince containing all particu
lars of the event, which was to coine
off early thc following morning.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, Rup
precht, and the other guests, officers
for the most pnrt, would, bestir them
selves in other directions.
Just one untoward incident mnrked
tho evening. Just before the departure
of the Baroness, Princo Rupprecht,
who was sitting between myself and
the lady, leant over and made a mom
entous announcement in a low but cloai
voice.

United I'resi.) The United States, it
is understood, wants a definite law for
mulated at the peace con terf nee estab

highway, governed by the law of all
nations combined not by the laws of
individual Rations.
This government, it is believed
would secure the establishment of a
minimum contrabrand list and a defi
nite blockade. (In the latter proposi
tion is seen a move against I'utnre tub
marine warfare.)
President Wilson in the belief of
friends will make at least ono public
address in England. It is understood
ho will be given an honorary degree at
Oxford university and it is regarded
as probable ho will make this thc oc
casion for his speech. The impression
prevails that in his speech he will de

Washiigton, Dec, 7. President Wil
son plans to stand pat at Paris on his
definition of freedom of the seas as
given in his famous "peace withoat

ary 22, 1917.
In that speech he declared that "so
far as practical every great peoplo now
struggling toward a full development
of its resources and of its powers
should be assured a direct outlet to tho
great highways of the sea." .
If this could not be accomplished bv
cession of territory, ho recommended
that it be done by neutralization of di
rect rights of way. ,
He declared that "great preponder
ating armaments, " if continued, would
rob tho world of a sense of safoty and
inequality. These thought still consti
tute the backbone of tho president's
policy, it was learned definitely today.
This Question Important. -
1 He stressed then, as he does now,
this idea:
' "The question of-armament, whether
on iand, or seas, is the most Immeit

connected with the future fortunes of
nntiows or, mankind," ' V ,
'."Freedom of the seas," is absolute

Freedom of the seas, ho regarded as
closely connected ." with a limitation
