was employed 12 years. His salary
was $4,200 and commissions, totalling

In the absence of the jury he was
allowed to teil what line of work he
actually did for German commercial
interests. He said it was to ascer
tain for the .Hamburg-American line
whether British war vessels were ho
vering. near the coast , of the' United

result being thf discovery that re
ports were not based on. facts ana
ttt? Hamburg line was so informed.
His next investigation, he said, was
to ascertain if submarines were being
built in the United States for the al

marines were being built, but that all
the parts were "manufactured in the
United States, shipped to Montreal

This report was read by the wit

dent Huerta of Mexico and German
interests. -Huerta agreed to follow
the direction of the German interests.
It was agreed that a peace movement
should be started in Mexico and a
peace conference: should be held in a
southern city.
An expedition was to be sent into
the United States headed by Huerta,
and when attacked by American
forces . the Mexicans would say the
United States had made war upon
Mexico. .The purpose of the whole
tovement was to bring about war be
reen the United States and Mexico.
He mentioned a number of prominent
Mexican leaders who were involved
in the alleged plot. The movement
was to have ' the outside appearance

Eleven thousand Italians haye been
captured by the Austro-Germans in
their new offensive on the mountain
ous front of northern Italy, it was
officially announced today by the
German fcar office.
Strong Italian positions in the Mel

guns, the statement says.
Washington, Dec. 6. Fresh kAtis-tro-Gei;maii
divisions from 'the
French and Russian fronts arc con
tinually arriving on the Italian line,
according to official dispatches today
from Rome. Extraordinary activity
of the invaders along the entire front,
and particularly in the mountain re
gion, shows reorganization of their
armies, with the fresh troops filling
in for the losses suffered in the re
cent attempts to break through.
Terrific artillery fire from Vallarsa
to the sea is taken to indicate that
the' reorgan faction is about complete.
'Favored by exceptionally .mild
weather and the excellent roads, the
invaders are making the most of their
plans. The Italian high command, the
dispatches say, is confident of its posi
tion. Airplanes are being destroyed
and. Italian patrols are in constant
touch with the enemy.
Enemy Starts Assaults. t
(By Associated Pi-cm.) .
Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Dec. 5. Heavy fight
ing around Asiago has developed
rapidly. The enemy assaults began
with intense artillery preparation,
followed by liquid fire, gas and waves
of infantry. The fighting continued
through yesterday and last night
along the heights back of Asiago
marked the zone between the heights
of Monte Sisemol and Monte Meletta.
This line extends nearly 10 miles.
Attack and counter-attack are go
ing on, leaving the final outcome still J
open.
The furious enemy attack on (he
Asiago plateau has been repulsed with
heavy losses, except at the northeast
ern sector, around Monte Tonderecar,
where, after a desperate struggle
which lasted until this morning, the
enemy succeeded in occupying some
of the advanced Italian lines, which
were retired to more secure positions.
The fighting has been extremely
heavy, with masses of infantry en;
gaged, in hand to hand combat Tht
.first attack on the Italian left was
met and repulsed by the 22d corps,
with large enemy' casualties. Many
prisoners were taken. The main at

GERMANS ACCEPT
RUSSIAN TERMS
FOR TEN DAYS
General Armistice 4 Declared
Along the Entire Russian

Noon.
a u i in.
; Berlin, Dec. 6. (Via London.)
Suspension of hostilities ever the
whole Russian front for 10 days,
beginning at noon Friday, has been
arranged, the war office announced
today. '. . . . '
Tetrograd, Dec. 5. (Via London,
Dec. . 6.) Representatives of Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and
Bulgaria met the Russian emissaries
at Brest-Litovsk to discuss terms of
an armistice. The delegates of the
central powers informed the Russians
that they had power to negotiate only
the conditions of an armistice, which
a Russian official cpmmunication calls
an "evasive declaration."
The request of the Russian dele
gates that all the belligerents be
asked to take part in reaching an ar
mistice on all fronts was met by the
enemy committee replying that it did
not possess such powers.
To Evacuate Moon Sound.
The Russians then presented a
project for an armistice on nil fronts,
the principal points of which were
the tjromisc that the Austro-Germans
would not .send forces from the east
ern front to other fronts and that the
Germans should retire from the isl
ands around Moon sound." The Rus
sians were handed a proposal for an
armistice on the eautern front, .which
is now being examined by the Rus
sians. The official communication
-then says:
Conditions Unacceptable.
"The enemy delegation declared
that our conditions for an armistice
were unacceptable and expressed the
opinion that such demands could be
addressed only to a conquered coun
try. On the categorical statement by
our plenipotentiaries that they were
treating for an arrnistice on all fronts
with a view to the conclusion of a
genera,! democratic peace on the ba
sis established by the all-Russian con
gress of councils, the enemy delegates
again replied evasively that they could
not consider the question in such a
manner because they were author
ized at present only to negotiate with
the Russian delegation in view of
the absence o' Russia's allies from the
conference.
"The first point regarding the pro
posed enemy armistice was the dura
tion of the armistice, which was first
indicated as a fortnight to begin De
cember 8. After discussion the Ger
man delegates expressed their readi
ness to agree to a polongatioir to 28
days. This term may automatically
be prolonged, provided there is no re
fusal, which must be made within
seven days before the expiration of
the armistice, which is to begin De
cember 10, if our delegation leaves
Brest-Litovsk tomorrow, but if it
leaves later the armistice will begin
later."
