GERMAN AGENTS
STIR ALL CHINA
WITH NEW PLOT
Country is Overrun With Tcu
tonic Spies Promoting In
ternal Trouble; Allied
Ministers Worried.
(Br Assselatsd Press.)
Peking, Oct 16. German ploti to
promote internal trouble in China are
being disclosed almost daily, and the
situation is so serioui that China un
doubtedly will find it necessary to in
tern many Germans and Austrians, if
not all of them, before the end of the
year. J, he allied ministers are ex
tremely uneasy over the situation.
China, with its lack of adequate
communication and great territory,
offers a fine field for German plots.
For many years German agents have
carried on commercial undertakings in
Tibet, Turkestan, Mongolia and other
interior parts of China. Consequent
iy they speak Chinese fluently and
have great influence with the lower
classes.
Arouse Mohammedans.
Through the German and Austrian
legations in Peking these interior
agents have beet supplied with money
to stir up distension. They have
aroused the Mohammedans in western
China by telling them that this is a
religious war designed to eliminate
Turkey and Mohammedanism. Simi
lar arguments have been used among
the Mohammedans in southwestern
China.
In Mongolia the German and
Austrian agents enlisted many ban
dits in the monarchical movement, and
have done everything in their power
to undermine the influence of the
Peking government The work of
the agitators has been more effective
in Mongolia than elsewhere, as they
have been able to harass the trans
Siberian line by encouraging the
; Mongolians to move north into Si
beria and Manchuria, and to attack
railway towns. . Russia's military
forces are somewhat limited now in
eastern ' Siberia, and consequently
the trans-Siberian line is seriously
threatened by the Mongolian upris
ings. Aid Prisoners to Escape.
German agents also have been able
to assist many German and Austrian
war prisoners to escape from Siberia
into Mongolia and thence into other
.parti of China.
Much of the German propaganda
has been traced directly to the Ger
man banks and prominent German
commercial men in Peking and Tien
Tsin. Both the British charge d'af
faires and the Russjan minister have
named the leading German Intriguers
in letters to the foreign office, and
suggested their interment. , . i

Official Stories of Eight Gallant
Engagements Given Out by
English Government, First
Since War Began.
(From the London Times.)
It has often been a source of regret
that in the national interests the naval
authorities should have found them
selves unable to reveal more fre
quently the de'tails of some of the
Stirring actions or heroic deeds which
are of daily, perhaps hourly, occur
rence in the sea warfare.
Today the first of a series of nar
ratives of incidents illustrating fffe
gallantry and skill displayed by Brit
ish seamen in their untiring combat
with the German submarines has been
issued..
These typical sea fights supply evi
dence that in the contest of nerve
and wits our seamen are fully the
equal of their antagonists, and are
bountifully endowed with the quali
ties of seasense and self-confidence
called for by the exigencies of guerilla
warfare.
The first action was fought by a
vessel of otinauxiliary forces; one of
the swarm ot fast scouts, motor-
launches, armed trawlers, and the like
which are engaged in coastal work
or the duties of the patrol. These
vessels, like those of the regular serv
ice, are ceaselessly searching: for.
chasing, engaging, and, with luck, de
stroying the underwater pests or the
enemy.
Carried out in all weathers and in
situations at all times of hazard and
peril, the vessels employed on these
duties are mainly, though not entirely,
manned from the reserve of the mer
chant navy and the fishing industry.
On this occasion the U-boat got in
the first blow, and inflicted consider
able damage. These are the circum
stances, however, in which the spirit
of the British seaman emerges
stronger than ever from the contest.
Seeing that its work of destruction
was not complete, the U-boat re
turned to the attack, and this time
found she had. caught a Tartar.
The British yessel opened fire, good
marksmanship, told, and when the
submarine was obviously beaten her
crew came on deck and made signs of
surrender. But that was only an ex
ample Of German slimness, for as
soon as the British gunners ceased
to fire, Fritz endeavoured to make
off, and this necessitated another
salvo, ,which disposed of him for
ever.

Bee Want Ads Produce Results.
In the five remaining "actions there
are two examples of the destruction
of submarines by means of depth
charges. In each case the U-boat in
cautiously revealed its position ito a
patrol vessel, which, after cardfully
noting the courie of the hostile craft,
got across it,, arfd presently dropped
the charges overboard to burst under
water.".'
The ingenuity and adroitness of the
British seamen were rewarded by the
appearance of phenomena which,
connected with violent explosions be
low the water, satisfied them as to
the result.
Then we have a duel beween two
submarines, of which, strange as it
may seem, there have been several
instances during the war. Such en
gagements must make a large demand
on the skill, the experience, and the
insight of the commanding officer,
who has to deal with the tricks and
wiles of a wary and unscrupulous foe.
When a satisfactory result is arrived
at, it must be singularly inspiring.
Fromsuch a category, too, it would
have been impossible to omit a fight
between aircraft and seacraft Ef-(
ficient air scouting has now become
essential in the merciless hunt for the
submarines and the R. N. A. S. never
lose an opportunity to score in its
maritime field of action. The instance
given is typical, for the submarine at
tacked by the seaplane was endeavor
ing to stalk a merchantman, and the
story shows the use to which the
aerial adjuncts of our sea power are
employed in the protection of trade
and commerce.
Eight Red Hot Fights.
' The official stories follow:
From one of our auxiliary naval
forces, a torpedo was .seen approach
ing the starboard beam. It jumped
out of the water when 100 yards off
and struck the engine room near the
waterline, making a large rent and
flooding several compartments. The
starboard lifeboat was blown into the
air, pieces of it landing on the wire
less aerial. , i
Shortly after a periscope 'was ob
served .just before the port beam. The
submarine turned and made for the
ship, but the periscope quickly dis
appeared, as the enemy further sub
merged. Againit appeared, followed
this time by a conning tower.
Fire was opened from the British
vessel, and the first shot hit the base
of the conning tower and removed the

two periscopes. Many hits were ob
tained, and the submarine quickly
assumed a list to port, several men
coming out of the hatch abaft the
conning tower.
The submarine wallowed along for
a space, with its stern almost sub
merged and oil squirting from its side,
and the crew came on deck and wared
their hands. At this sign of surrender
the "cease fire" was ordered, but the
submarine at once started to make
off at a fair speed, evidently hoping
to disappear in the misty weather.
Another Goes Down.
Fire was again opened; a loud ex
plosion took place forward, and, fall
ing over on its side, the submarine
sank, the last thing seen being the
sharp bow, end up, slowly disappear
ing beneath the water. Two survivors
avere picked up, and our ship re
turned safely to harbor.
On another occasion, one of our
small craft sighted an enemy sub
marine at a distance of 10000 yards.
She maintained her course, and five
minutes later the enemy stopped and
then proceeded towards her. Suddenly
he submerged, and shortly after his
periscope appeared close by on the
starboard bow for a few seconds and
then disappeared. Helm was ported,
and when over the position where the
periscope had been seen an explosive
charge was dropped; the ship circled
round, and when in position once
more dropped another charge.
The explosion of this was followed,
after two or three seconds, by another
and much more violent explosion,
which snook the vessel from stem to
stern. The water became black over
a very large area and a considerable
quantity of thick oil and flotsam came
to the surface.
Aeroplane Sinks U-Boat
One of our submarines having sight
ed an enemy submarine one and a half
points on the starboard bow, dived,
but after seeing the enemy through
the periscope for a few' minutes lost
sight of him. Our boat came to the
surface abain and aboutt hree hours
later saw the enemy submarine on the
starboard beam from two to three
miles away.
Our boat dived to attack, but the
enemy alter course and was again lost
to view. His apparent objective being
conjectured, course was altered in the
hope of cutting him off, and eventu
ally he was again detected on the port
bow, steering as had been surmised.
Course was altered as necessary and
when as favorable a position as was
thought possible was obtained a tor
pedo was fired.
A solash was observed in line with
and close to his stern and a few sec
onds after the enemy(was seen with
his stern out of water, smoke hanginsr
around it r.nd the conning tower half
submerged. A minute or two later he
disappeared."' " " ' - :' ''

Simple Way To " , '
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that Is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store-Jthis is all you will need)- apply
it at night when retiring, use, enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips!
By morning, most if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications .will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp wiS stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft and look and
feel a hundred times better. Adv,
