DESTINATION IS UNKNOWN Upon Bequest of Commander V 1 m i-f a. M j . av I IM II i r in u Tl I i phi. riT I iTifipr. sea Vessel Withheld. TIME OF STARTING SECRET Baltimore, Md., July 26. The Ger man submarine liner Deutschland to day was cleared by her commander, Captain Paul Koenig, for "Bremen or any other port in Germany." Any hour now the vesseu may start down Cheseapeake "bay prepared io make a dash for the open sea through the Virginia capes and the gua'rd of allied warships off the three-mile limit. Secrecy surrounds the plans of Cap tain Koenig. After obtaining his clearance papers at the custom house, he said in reply to questions asked for the benefit of the Maryland Pilots' association that the exact time of his departure was indefinite. Tonight he made no arrangements for a pilot, but he can procure one almost immedi ately at any time he desires. Ready for Return. Agents of the subsea freighter an nounced this afternoon that it was ready for the return voyage to Ger many and that clearance papers would be secured later in the day. This in formation was conveyed-to the cus tom house and the office of the clear ance clerk Was kept open for Captain Koenig, who arrived shortly before 4 o'clock with Captain. Hincu of the North German Lloyd liner Neckar. After the usual formalities, the com mander of the submarine requested that his manifest which he had filed be withheld from publication for a reasonable time Collector of the Port Ryan com municated with the Treasury depart ment and then informed Captain Koe nig that his request would be granted. Consequently the cargo was described officially as being composed of gen eral merchandise. On his way from the building the little captain tarried long enough to shake hands with several officials who wished him a safe voyage.' ; , si. ; V. Returns His Thanks. ; .( "We certainly, are .with you' said one of his well wishers, patting him on the shoulder. Captain. Keonlg smiled, - nodded his head, said "I thank you" and .then continued on his way to the pier wherr the. Deutsch land had been tied up for more than than two weeks. , ' - Teh tug Thomas F. Timmons which met the Deutschland off the Vjrgiinia capes upon her arrival, and which has been constantly near her ever since, pulled away from the pier late today and went to a nearby coal pier, where she filled her bunkers. Directly after ward she returned to the Deutsch- land's pier and some hours later it was apparent that she was maintain ing a full head of steam in her boilers. ; Activity Aboard. This caused the belief in maritime circlesthat the start for the Capes might be made during the night. Cap tain Koenig, however, declined to give any information whatsoever re garding the timeof his departure. All day long there was activity aboard the Deutschland. The engines were tested again and again, and twice the vessel was submerged until her keel rested on the bottom in her slip. These ooerations seemed to be very interesting to persons aboard two British freighters which have dropped anchors off the Deutschland's pier during the last day or so. A dozen men on the stern of each of the ships, the Highbur and the Ardgfe took turns at using several pairs of marine glasses. At dark they still were watching the submarine. -- The Weather For Nebraska: Generally fair with continued high temperature. Temperature. at Omaha Yesterday. Hours. Deg.

W Infantile Plague Spread-by Contact Says Dr. Flexner New York,. July 26. The most important' contribution to information about infantile paralysis, made public here today, was a statement by Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller In stitute that the disease is spread pri marily by personal contact of child with child. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced that fear of 'the epidemic had caused a tremendous increase in calls upon it to make away with cats and dogs. Since the' first of July, 73,000 cats and S.OMjogshayjs.fewjoutJa.dejJbJ. oy tne society s agents, men sent out by the society pick up on an average 3,700 animals a day. Last year the society collected during the first twenty-four days of July only 33,000 Cats and dogs. The epidemic of infantile paralysis continued to gain headway today. Al though yesterday s high record ot deaths was not equaled, there were more cases reported. The daily bul letin of the health department shows that during the twenty-four-hour period ending at 10 o'clock this morn ing the plague killed thirty-five shil dren and there were 162 new cases reported in the five boroughs of New York City. ' The plague apparently shifted its center from Brooklyn to Manhattan, a gradual increase in new cases and deaths being noted there daily, com pared wtih a decrease in Brooklyn. S. S.

DELAY IS NOT UNDERSTOOD Washington, July 26. A communi cation to Great Britain dealing with the principles involved .in the black list against American firms is prac tically ready and will be sent forward to London within the next few days. Acting Secretary Polk discussed the question with President Wilson today and then returned to the State depart ment to complete the work on the document. While the protest will deal prima rily with principles, Mr. Polk reported to the president on several individual cases involved in the blacklist which he investigated. He said some, of these firms had good grounds for complaint, and these facts will be set forth in the note to- Great Britain. The American government has ac cepted the explanations of the black list made informally by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, without prejudice to its case. The ambassador's assurances that the blacklist was not intended to interfere with American trade with other neu trals, however, has not altered the views of the government that the United States has grounds for a strong protest. Ambassador Page at London today advised the State department of an informal discussion he had at the British foreign office regarding the British blacklist of American firms. Negotiations With Mexico Strike Some Obstacle Washington, July 26. Develop ments in the diplomatic discussions with the de facto government of Mexico have been at a standstill five days, awaiting a reply from General Carranza to suggestions transmitted through his ambassador-designate, Eliseo Arrendondo. This was stated officially at the State department to- ttay-Hir-repty -to- reports from- MexTCef- Uty that the Mexican membership ot the proposed commission to seek a solution of border difficulties had been selected. Preliminary conferences between Acting Secretary Polk and Mr Ar rendondo have so far failed to produce any definite result. It is un derstood the Washington government desires that the powers of the com mission be' far greater than General Carranza has proposed and that Mr. Arrendondo some days ago forward ed such a suggestion. Delay of the de facto government in making known its views on the new sugges tions and the fact that inaccurate statements as to the status of ne gotiations have been made in Mexico City inclined some qfficials here to day to believe that some obstacle had been encountered in the efforts to decide upon the scope of the pro posed commission's discussion. Senate Votes Pay To Troops Now On South Border Washington, July 26. An amend ment to the army appropriation bill by Senator Reed to provide that Na tional Guardsmen and regulars serv ing on the Mexican border should re ceive the additional foreign service pay, although on duty entirely on American soil, was adopted today by the senate. Men on foreign duty are entitled to 20 per cent additional pay and officers to 10 per cent. Charges by Senator Works of Cali fornia that the National Guard was kept on the border for political pur poses were contradicted oy Senator Reed, who declared the pressure of the guard had served to awaken Mexico to the need of a conciliatory attitude toward the United States. He said withdrawal of the men now might open the way to a renewal by bandits. Another amendment bv Senator Reed will permit troops in service for the Mexican emergency to vote at camps in the presidential election. It was adopted without opposition. An appropriation of $125,000 for tent floors and screens for the troops on the border also was agreed to. Dr. E, D. Atwood Pleads Not Guilty To MurderCharge Boston, Mass., July 26.

The Turkish fortress of Erzingan, in central Armenia, has been captured by the Russians. ; This was announced officially today by the Russian war department. The official statement announcing the capture of Erzingan says: "On Tuesday our gallant troops under command of General Uden itchin took in battle the town of Er zingan. As a result the clearing of the Turks from Armenia has been accomplished. "The emperor yesterday sent the following telegram to the commander-in-chief at Tim's: "It is with joy that I have heard of the taking of Erzingan, From the bottom of my heart I congratulate you and the heroic Caucasian army upon your victory. I am delighted that the troops so quickly justified the confidence j. laced in them. "(Signed) NICHOLAS." Turks Evacuate City. London, July 26. Erzingan, the strongly-fortified Turkish town in central Armenia, has been evacuated by the Turks, according to a dispatch from Petrograd, received here today by wireless telegraph from Rome. Recent advices from Petrograd said that the Russians after beating off energetic Turkish counter attacks were converging on Erzingan from three sides and that the Russian ad vance guards were within ten miles of the fortified city. The Turks were reported by Russian aviators to be destroying the stores and supplies. Belief was expressed by Russian ob servers that the evacuation of the place already had begun and that the defense of the fortress was being con ducted only with the purpose of giv ing the Turks time to withdraw to a new base at Sivas, 130 miles west.

The expeditionary scout known as Guy Johnson, held here by military au thorities, confessed today that he is Guy Hartman, wanted by United States authorities- -fn Fort Smith, Ark., in connection with alleged "moonshine" whisky frauds, accord ing to Captain Louis J. Van Schack, chief of the local army intelligence bureau. Hartman said he would waive extradition and return for trial. Captain Van Schack said that the prisoner admitted that he had fled to Mexico .while under $20,000 bond to appear for trial in May, 1915, and as serted he was willing to return to Arkansas for trial. Johnson, whom tarmy officers as sert has been one of the most valua ble scouts attached to the American expedition in Mexico, told a story of a year of mental torture from the fear of detection. In telling he re vealed, however, that although a fugi tive from justice in the United States, his patriotism was greater than his fear and as a result he offered his services to General Pershing. Rewards aggregating $15,000 are said to be offered for Hartman's ar rest. Local police officers, who at the request of the army intelligence bureau apprehended Johnson at the border, have put in claims to the De partment of Justice for the rewards. McNish Will Open Headquarters About Middle of August (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 26, (Special.) Chairman MrMich nf rli p.nol.l.V.n state committee left for his home in umana tnis torenoon, announcing that he expected to open up head quarters about Aua. 15 in the T.in- dell hotel. It is probable that the committee will have the same quarters occu pied by the committee in years past, and from which so many success ful campaigns were conducted. These quarters, if secured, are situated on the second floor of the Lindell, at the west end of the south corrider, which runs from the parlor at the hear of the stairway. Members of the executive commit tee and 'the appointment of a sec retary and treasurer will not be an nounced until later by the chairman. Inasmuch as the selection of a chair man was made without consulting the state candidates, the latter are insist ing that as Mr. McNish belongs to what is generally known as the for mer regular wing of the party that the secretary should be a former member of the progressive wing. It is said that they prefer W. L. Miner, former deputy state auditor, or Clyde Barnard, former secretary of the sen ate. Others have suggested that it might be a good thing to select the secretary from out in the western part of the state, and the nanTe of Senator Earl Mallery of Alliance has been suggested. , Germans Execute Six x Civilians at Ghent London, July 26.1-Six civilians have been executed by the Germans at Ghent, charged with "war treason," arrnrftJner in a Vmtttmr' A ..... 1 ; " o ' " - ....in b miisiciiuin dispatch quoting the Telegraaf. ir.e oispatcn aiso says tnat the Ger mans have removed 7,000 men, 2,000 institute from Koubaix, presumably tor agricultural worn in Oemiany.

In reply to s complaint from Mrs. Henry Smith of Winamac, Ind., who has a son tn the National Guard, President Wilson wrote today that the Guard was being kept on the Mexican border to pro tect the country, not for drill, and that the service the men were performing was an honor to them and a necessity to the United States. . The president's letter was made public to answer criticism that Na tional Guardsmen are not being cared for properly. It follows: "Your letter of July . 2J , distresses me s good deal because it shows that you have not been correctly informed as to the purpose of . having the Na tional Guard at the border. It is not for the purpose of drill, but for the purpose of protecting the country. The service the. men are performing ther is an honor to them and a neces sity to the United States. I cannot be lieve the men would wish to be ex cused from it or would lose heart be cause of the discomforta and incon veniences of the service. "The War department has the camps on the border under the most careful inspection and is using every means known to make them sanitary and safe against disease. The health record of the men on the border, both the regulars and the National Guards men, is exceptionally good.

Hinterliter began calling on the girl about ten months ago, when she came to Olney from Paoli, Ind., to live with her sister, Mrs. Bert Fancher. Last Friday evening the couple went driving. The girl is said to have died beneath an old elm tree, two miles from town. Doctors say the girl was dead when she wss placed in the buggy for the ride to the sanitarium.

The stomach was examined. No trace of poison was found. Then one of the examining doctors stuck s probe into an artery. There was s "pouf" almost inaudible, as if a bub ble burst.
