He declared that "tiie shipping board would look forwaVd to seeing one of its "constructive plans carried out." "There is no German money in the American end of the business nor is there any agreement for Ger man investment in any American companies," he added.

SLOAN. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Ptiiraorn A hit 17 Theodore point its own agents outside :of Ger- alias private Arthur Le Grande, self-confessed German spy and styled the "Modern Munchausen" through his fantastic tales of his ex periences and ancestry while posing in France as Lieut. Arthur M. Kin caid of the American army, may be deported overseas and face a firing squad there. Schude, who is now under arrest in San Francisco, is charged with four separate, offenses under the fed eral and military statutes. The first comprises his imposture of Lieuten ant Kincaid in army hospitals at Rotterdam, Antwerp, Paris and Brest in the months of June, July and August, 1918. Through papers stolen from Lieutenant Kincaid he assumed the identity of the real Kin caid, who then was a student officer in the A. E. F. university at Beaune. Schude, it is said, recently confessed to army officials at san rrancisco Un ted States and Germany to be ht during this time he was a spy atahliherl within a vear. the Amer lean corporation agreeing to supply passenger ships not exceeding 40,000 gross tons, to which the Hamburg American line cannot add unless it is agreed that the business warrants. In that case the Germany company may add ships until it has 50 per cent of the vessels in the service. In construction of passenger ships the Hamburg-American line will give, the American corporation all of its technical knowledge and ex perience. . Each party may supply half the tonnage for freight service between the United States and Germany, but if the Hamburg-American line has not the tonnage for itself, the American company may supply it. Rates on eastbound traffic are to be fixed by the American Ship and Coivmerce (Corp.) and on west bound traffic i by the Hamburg American line. ' Freight services between - Ger many and countries other than the United States are fo be taken up in dependently, the Hamburg-American line to propose each, service which the American Ship and Com merce (Corp.) may accept or not. If the American concern chooses to enter a given service, each party may put in one-half of the tonnage. The American Ship and Commerce fCoro.) may suggest that any serv ice be proposed if the proposition is not made by the namDurg-Amcri can line. NEW YORK in the emnlov of the German govern ment. The penalty for such an ot fense is death. Federal officials here yesterday declared that there was a strong possibility of his being sent overseas for trial by military court in Paris. The second of the charges against Schude is similar to the first. This compromises his imposture of Kin caidln the United States, specifically, at Messiah Home, N. Y., and the recuperation hospital at Fort Sheri dan, 111. This would also, should his confession stand, establish his status as a spy here, and might also be punishable of death, it was stated.

BRITAIN ASKED FOR ATTITUDE ON GEN. WRANGEL s . . Head of Soviet Trade Mission ' to England Calls for Precise Definition of Policy. ' , London, Aug. 17. Soviet Russia, through M. Kameneff, head of her trade mission here, has asked Pre mier Lloyd George for a precise defination of the British attitude toward General Wrangel, com mander of anti-bolshevist forces in southern Russia. In a letter to the premier, M. Kameneff quotes' all dispatches ex changed between the British and Russian governments concerning General Wrangel, beginning with the dispatch from Earl Curzon to George Tchitchering, bolshevik for eign minister, on April 14. It was this message which urged a termina tion of hostilities and the disband ment of General Wrangel's troops on the basis of amnesty being granted. 1 M. Kameneff declares this dis patch induced the soviet govern ment to refrain from military measures which would have render ed General Wrangel powerless, and he seeks to show it was British in decision relative to its Russian policy which encouraged 6cneial Wrangel and led to the present situation and recognition- of Gen eral Wraneel bv France.

Washington, Aug. 17. Congress when it meets in December may face a request on the part of the federal ptohibtion officials for authority to destroy 50,000,000 gallons of liquor stored in this country under oond. Some of the prohibition enforce ment officials, including Prohibtion Commissioner Kramer, believes that absolute prohibition can'iot be achieved while bondqd warehouses bulging with liquor exist throughout the country, presenting 'continual temptation to violation of .he law. , The prohibition enforcement of ficials point out that $500,000 worth of bonded liquors were stolen in va rious sections of" the country last week. In several cases battles oc curred between the robbers and the whisky guards, and guards were wounded. Officials also call attention to the fact that most liquor now being sold illegally in many big cities cama,out of the bonded warehouses in some mysterious manner. Ifv the bonded liquor were destroyed this nig dif ficulty would be removed, they ar gue. Without liquor in storage any where in the country prohibition en forcement would be a matter only of guarding against smuggling and illegal manufacture or moonshining. Federal prohibition officials now have no authority to destroy con fiscated liquor except where law violations are detected. Thty will put the plan of .disposition of the vast stores up to congress when it convenes in December. This may prove the beginning of a new wet and dry fight.
