The Rumanias, too, are displaying some uneasiness as to the inactivity of their government and according to unofficial reports, an agitation in fa- vor of the allies is being carried on by influential leaders. The allies, how ever, are depending on their own re- sources and arranging to throw into the Baikans as many men as can be spared. At the present time they can- no: weaken the other fronts, as the Germans are showing considerable ac- tvity. The latter have made still an- other counter-attack in the attempt to recapture La Courtaine, in Champagne, which the French recently took from them. Srong German patrols, herald- ing an attack, were also observed in the Loos region, but were digpersed. Germans Striving for Riga.

Major General Funston, command- ing the American border forces, has full authority to take any necessary steps to prevent violation of Ameri- <an territory by Mexican armed par- ties, short of actually invading Mexico. An order to cross the border would have to come from Washi; but if bullets fall on the American side during any battle across the line, Gen- eral Funston may use his artillery to drive the combatants away.

Y., Oct. 27.—The fate of Hans Schmidt, the former Catholic priest under sentence of death for the murder of Anna Aumuller in New York in 1913, now rests with the court of appeals. Arguments for and against a new trial were made before that body today. A decision is not expected for several weeks. Should the court rule against Schmidt his ext recourse will be an appeal! for executive clemency to Governor Whit- man, who, as district attorney of New York, prosecuted the case. In kis argument for reversal of the judgment of conviction, Schmidt's counsel asked particularly that a jury be given an opportunity to hear al- leged new evidence to the effect that Miss Aumuller died as a result of hemorrhage follcwed a forbidden op- eration. He asked the court to dis. regard Schmidt’'s confession, made be- fore his trial and retracted since, that he had cut the victim’'s throat.

The man spoke with a German accent, but he zeemed to be familiar with the sur- rounding country which he viewed through a glass. He said the glass was of the variety used by. artillery officers. Mr. Cooney’s recognition is supported by the statements of four other capitol employe: John P. Dudley, deputy collector of customs in Houlton, Me., was fatally shot by a companion while hunting in the vicinity of Pride’s Mills, 35 miles from Houlton. Colonel John C.
