The names of the men under ar- rest have been withheld by the judge advocate pending receipt of advices from Washington. . A general cleanup of enemy aliens at Camp Lewis is in full swing, offi- cers said hirty-four were dis- charged today from the service. Altogether about 200 men have been weeded out from ranks of the 91st division and the work is not yet com- pletéd.. The internment or prosecu- tion of tho discharged today rests with the federal civil authorities. Ts Death. 25.—Officers of Penalt Washington, Feb. the judge advocate’s general office said that any national army soldiers charged with plotting treason would be tried by military court martial and if found guilty would be liable to the death penalty. No report on the ar- rests at Camp Lewis had reached the judge advocate general. In the ordinary course the division commander would make no report in h cases until the matter had been carefully investigated, and in case definite charges were filed, the actual trial of those concerned had been completed. Action to be taken depends entire- whether the men under arrest were while still in the mili- tary service or after they had been discharged previously on grounds of holding enemy sympathy. If stili in service they would be dealt with under military law.

VICTIM Murphy in Bad Light Feb. reports reaching Washington, —Confidential the state depart- ment from allied sources have direct- ed the attention of the government to a remarkable intrigue in Sofia, Bul- garia, involving Dominic 3. Murphy, the American consul-general. Mr. Murphy, who is now this govern- ment's only representative in Bul- garia, is quoted the semi-official Bulgarian organ Kambana as having war policy in 4 manner that has caused representa- tives of the Allies to demand an ex- planation. The State Department after receive ing word from three govern- ments eabled at once to Murpt asking for an in reply, Mr. Murphy has not only repudiated the interview, but indicates that he has been made the victim of a cun- ning German-Bulgarian plot to dis- credit him, There is reason to believe that German agents want to get Mr. Mur- phy out of Sofia without delay bo- cause of his personality and influence with the Bulgarian foreign office and because he is in a position to keep track of Germany’s underground sy: tem of propaganda which would he denied him should he leave Bulgaria. A deeper inquiry to be made and more detailed information from Mr. Murphy is expected. Officials of the State department who know Mr. Mur- phy’s record in the service are con- vinced that he has been victimized by a German-Bulgarian plot and in- cidentally the relations between Bule garia and the United es will not be improved by this kind of intrigue. But several allied diplomats are still skeptical and believe that the Ameri- can representative may have informal- ly expressed some of the opinions credited to him, The Germans appear to have circu- Jated reports that Mr. Murphy : an Irishman has no more love for e land than T. St. John Gaffney had. Mr. Gaffney was recalled from his position as American Consul at Munich because of his decided anti- British tendencies. Here is a translation of the confi~ dential report which has reached the State department. “The Kambana, lied Mr. explanation. the Germanophile newspaper of Sofia, has published an interview which Mr. Murphy, Consul General of the United States at Sofia. The following is the text of the terview: *‘According to the tion the government and the senate at Washington have intimated to those whom it concerns that the mili- tary aims of Italy will not be allowed to extend to Dalr This will < celerate the conclusion of peace. * ‘The Americans understand the motives which urge the Bolsheviki of Petrograd to hasten to conclude peace. London and Paris have been informed that the commercial inter- ests of the United States demand that the war should cease as soon as pos- ‘sible in order that American ships may be free to sail for Europe with raw material and merchandise des- tined for the exhausted peoples of Europe.’ “Consul General Mu -, who is of Irish origin and who has the reput tion of belng a partisan of the liberty of the oppressed people has con- vinced his government by the repo. sent by him during the last two years of the legitimate nature of the Bul- garian claims to unite Macedoni the Dobrudja and the valiey of the Morava to Bulgarin. He affirms America wil] never pronounce against this Bulgarian unity. In spite of threats of Wilson the relations he- tween the United States and Bulgaria will not be broken off, for it i% the senate that decides this. Murphy recalls with regret the malicious declarations and acts of the American ambassador to Berlin, Ge- rard, who as an enthusiastic friend of the Entente, contributed to the rupture of relations between Germany and the Tnited States. “Wilson did not dare oppose Ge- rard, as the latter was one of the most influential propagandists for his clection.” Mr. Murphy has ord in the service, France, Switzerland and at othet Furopean pos: He is a native of Washington and is very well known here. in- atest informa- an excellent rec- having served in LIS WHILE CUTTT John Kerrigan of Mill street was removed to the New Britain General hospital last evening, after he had fallen from a tree on North street.

In spite of the fact that Georgi was unable to take part in the meet, Princeton took first place in each event except the 220-vard swim. The water polo game was taken the Columbia team by a score of 25 to 1. Kinnard of Princeton plunged 74 feet, bettering his former record by one foot.

What in their own hearts they are striving for is the freedom of thought and action which can come only from democracy. Any attempt of Germany or any other country to run counter to this inherent trend can but end disastrously. To this extent any agreement to conclude a peace based upon a $4,- 000,000,000 indemnity and the cession of such a large amount of aluable territory as now demanded by Berlin does not possess the im- portance as a market influence that superficially one might feel impelled to attach to it. It exposes the falsity of the specious German talk of desire for a “just peace without indemnity and without annexation” and leaves no other course for our own govern- ment and our associates in the war than to pursue the war aims that ave been so frankly set forth by our own president, by David Llovd George, the British premier, and the French foreign minister, M. Clemen- ceau, namely, the safeguarding of democracy by removing the German military menace. Ilere we have the cure for the real disease; the Bol- shevik developments merely dis- agreeable symptoms. Meanwhile the winter secason is passing and the most favorable time for negotiations is ending. Wednes day was the second anniversary of the German drive against Verdun. Interest therefore is centering military operations on the We front, where the Supreme which the, Germans have been fro advertising should come, such a drive is in fact emplated. The active advance tho project has received how- ever, that ti ma- chine m poses sl instan are advertising suggests erman military plans it ience, as, ., the pushing of the campaign which winter so suddenly suspended in Italy. If the drive undertaken on the Western border. the loss of lifo will be appalling on both sides pecially must it be so on the part of the aggressors in view of the am- ple preparations which have been ‘made to meet it. Should the drive not succeed—and the Allied com- manders are confident that it will not hen inte irs in Germany ill most probably force the German military party to aecede with much more freedom than under existing | conditions to the peace terms set down so definitely by the Allies This brief review of existing mill- and politégeal conditions is. T be- justfied at this time by the ad- mitted fact that the prospects of peace are so completely the dom- inant influence in the market for se- curities as a whole. Today nearly all our national activities are under na- tional restraint and will remain until peace shall have been declared When that fortunate moment is to vé there is little definite basis for estimating. But one thing does stand out—that the military and dplomatic developments of the next few weeks will operate most conclusively in an- swering this most important question. So long as the war continues just so long will our government require the full service of the savings of our peo- ple, To at these savings the Treas- ury will most probably be called upon to improve the attractiveness of its bonds. It goes without saying that in proportion as our Treasury’'s ob- ligations are made attractive, not un- u 1y will th withdrawals | of capital from fixed channels that are less attractive ei 1 of their smaller n on ment or by reason of th appreciation the soundn nd safety obligations of the richest country in the world, such our own gov ment concedediy Until the ends private enterprise must in abeyance.
