DEPUTY EXPOSED AS GERMAN SPY Turmel Unable to Account for Money in His Possession Berne, Sept. 18.—The Swiss tele- - draphic agency has received a tele- gram from Zurich relative to a state- ment made by the French deputy, Turmel, that he received a sum of money from the Swiss federai bank for advice. The directors of the Bwiss federal bank, according to the telegram, declare formally that they never made any such mysterious pay- ‘ments to anyone whatsoever and have never had any dealings with Turmel. An officlal statement issued from the chamber of deputies on Sept. 17 state that an envelope containing 25,- 000 france in Swiss bank bills had been found in the part of the locker room assigned to Deputy Turmel. In a letter to M. Deschanel, president of the chamber, Deputy Turmel stated: “Payment was made by the Swiss federal bank for advice.” Prosecutor Wants Immunity Yifted. Paris, Sept. 18.—The procurator general of the appeal courts has ad- dressed a communication to parlia- ment asking for the suspension of im- munity in the case of Deputy Louis Turmel. The procurator general points out that Deputy Turmel gave three different explanations concern- ing the origin of the money found in his locker and further remarked that Magistrate Gilbert, charged with in- vestigation of the case, twice served a subpoena on Turmel yesterday but the latter ignored the summons “un- der circumstances from which it is permissible to presume that Turmel's dealings In Switzerland, given by him as the source whence he drew the money that was found were of frau- dulent nature, coming under the law prohibiting French citizens carrying on economic relations with enemy subjects.” The committee of 11 elected by the chamber of deputies to report on the demand for the authorization of legal proceedings againgt Turmel met dfter the chamber adjourned today. The ‘committee voted unanimously in favor of authorizing the legal proceedings, which it held to be the best course even in the interests of Turmel him- self. It is expected that the commit- tee's report will be submitted to the chamber at the opening of the session tomorrow and little doubt is ex- + pressed that the required authoriza- tion will be voted rapidly. It i5 understood that the judiclal authorities did not at first intend to prosecute Deputy Turmel. They de- sired first of all to obtain a sworn statement fromi him and to do this a charge was laid against ‘X" of trading with the enemy, in connection with which Deputy Turmel was called 3 ————————=8 EAT WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT People who consistently deny " jome articular It is a fact, however, ople can, without Fresstng consequenoes, indu appetite within reason if the bow- e& are active and regular.

New York, Sept. 19.—There were no new developments yesterday in the case of Charley Herzog, suspended captain of the Giants.

He wrote that it was his prime am- bition to be in there against the ‘White Sox and if he is in condition he will rejoin the team. There is great regret over the entire incident in the offices of the New York club. ¢ A A S ROBERT WEAVER RE-ELECTED. New York, Sept. 19.—Word reached A. A. U. office yesterday that Rob- ert L.

NEW BRITAIN NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917. RUSSIA' PREPARES ~ T0 STRIKE AGAIN iMinister of War Tells of Reorgan- ization of Army Petrograd, Sept. 19.—General Ver- khovsky, the minister of war, in his first announcement to the newspaper representatives, made yesterday, served notice on Germany that, far | from having removed the menace of ! Russian onslaughts, a mighty revo- lutionary army, reformed on the basis of the armies of other nations, would hefore long again take the field agzainst her. “The first task of my associates and myself,” sald General Verkhov- <k to create an army on the asis of those of other nations. T can ure you that the measures which | will be taken will create a mighty revolutionary army. It is a mistake for Germany to think that the revolu- tion has destroyed the Russian army. | It will soon become strong again and | will resist to the end for the dignity and safety of the fatherland.” The war ministry has been placed in close contact with and under the direct control of the premier and com- mander in chief for better co-opera- tion.© The reorganization of the headquarters has been completed, and the new high commands will enter | upon thelr functions forthwith. A new note of firmness is observed in the latest orders to the army and fleet, in addition to which announce- ment is made that no further activ- ity by self-constituted organizations will be permitted. The last announcement was prompt- ed by the appearance of so-called committees for the salvation of thé revolution, which assumed govern- mental military powers in Petrograd with the aim of opposing alleged counter-revolutionary conspirators. Premier Kerensky, while acknowl- edging the good intentions of these bodies, declares that the need of their assistance is past, and that they will be suppressed. Wot in Korniloff Revolt. The &éommission of inquiry sitting at Pskov has ascertained that Gen- eral Klemboksy did not participate actively in the Korniloff revolt. The commission therefore declares that he is not liable to arrest. The evidence in the case has been forwarded to Premier Kerensky. The submission of General Kale- dines has removed the menace of a second march on Petrograd and ma- terially clarified the situation and lightened the burden of Premier Ker- ensky and his associates in the Com- miteee of Five. A further favor- able indication is a seeming tendency on the part of the workmen’s and soldiers’ delegates to show less ob- jection to a coalition cabinet, and it is believed that upon his return from field operations the latter part of the week the premier will announce the constitution of the ministry. 1t is expected that this will meet with active opposition on the part of ! the Bolscheviki, who demand the | complete elimination of the bour- | geolsle element from the government. | But with assurances of support from the army and the reasonable element of the soclalists, the government has no fears of the result of any clash with the radicals. It is authoritatively stated that the | government considers the proclama- laratory act and does not purpose to form a republican administration be- fore the constituent assembly is con- | vened. Premier Kerensky, in a proclama- | tlon issued yesterday, appealed to the population and to the men of the army and navy to be calm, to trust the government, and to continue to fight the enemy. Rumors of the proposed removal of the seat of government to Moscow are denied in official circles, where it is pointed out that no political or military reason for such removal exists. MEDIOCAL HISTORY OF WAR. Washington, Sept. 19.—A medical and surgical history of American par- | ticipation in the war, in five volumes is to be written by a board appointed by Major General Willlam G. Gorgas, surgeon general of the army. Mem- bers of the board are Col. G. G. Mec- Cullock and Major B, H. Garrison of the army medical library, and cap- tain John S. Fulton secretary of the Maryland state board of health. Some European countries already have such histories in preparation. The purpose of Gen. Gorgas, is to have the work completed as soon aft- er peace is restored as possible. GAME NOT PROTESTED. Chicago, Sept. 19.—Contrary to pre- vious announcement, President John- son, of the American League, said last night that James C. Dunn, presi- dent of the Cleveland club, had not protested the game which Umpire Owens forfeited to Chicago a week ago last Sunday. The contests, there- fore. will stand as a victory for Chi- cago. Dunn previously had announced that he had protested the game. TWO ATHLETICS JOIN ARMY. Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—Ray Bates and Win Noyes, Mack’s third base- man and pitther, respectively, yester- day left the local team for the pur- pose of donning Uncle Sam’s uni- forms. They were called three weeks ago, but returned and later took part in several games. YARDLEY IN BIG TRADE. St. Louis, Sept. 19.—Announcement was made yesterday that Yardley, an outfielder, who has been playing with the Omaha Western League team, is the fourth player traded by the St. tion of a republic as merely a dec- | BIGGEST SHOW IN WORLD IS READY And Uncle Sam Needs No Press Agent to Ensure Success Washington, Sept. 198—The biggest recreational program ever staged in America, a continuous performance to last for the duration of the war, with an annual supporting fund of at least $14,000,000, Started today at the 16 National Army cantonments.

The athletic work within the can- tonments has been arranged by Jo- | seph E. Raycroft, athletic director at | Princeton university, assisted’ by Mal- colm McBride, former Yale football star.
