REVOLUTION ON GERMAN SHIPS

DONDON, Oct 10. A revolutionary outbreak on German warships at-Wil-helmshaven about six weeks ago is reported in a Central News dispatch from Copenhagen.

Several high class musical organizations are also billed he said. LIBERTY SALE AT STANDSTILL Activities in the second Liberty Bond sale in Richmond are at a standstill. It would appear that the sale of over $1,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds has been ended, while in reality it hasn't gotten a good start. - wyne county's apportionment bassdtra a $3,000,000,000 issue has beea revised by State Chairman Wade. Witb, the banking resources of the county placed at $11.00,000, the allotment based on the minimum issue of bonds is $1,100,000. Based on a $5,000,000,000 issue, which amount the government hopes to dispose of, Wayne's apportionment is $1,760,000 or sixteen percent of the banking resources of the county. Most cities and states probably will oversubscribe their apportionment. One county In Indiana already has disposed of its share and the sale doesn't close until October 27. George L. Cates, president of the Union National bank, and chairman of the Liberty bond sale in Wayne county, has been out of the city since Monday and is attending a convention of state bankers being held in Evansville. He is expected to return to Richmond Thursday or Saturday. WRIGHT WILL RECOVER William H. Wright, who was struck by a locomotive Tuesday and seriously injured, will recover, according to Dr. R D.

American control or supervision of the Balkans is advocated by the Bulgarian newspaper Mir, in a long editorial which says in part: "Of all the belligerents the Americans alone are in a position to form' a true appreciation of the situation in the Balkans. They are disinterested end well acquainted with local condi tions, and are in a position to give everybody his due. Having such a knowledge of the Balkan peninsula, they ought to have the moral will to exert their authority on their allies in the interests of justice and democracy in he Balkans. "WTe do not ask that America should take our side and that she should protect us. We desire that she should take the defense of oppressed rights inour countries, and that she should become an impartial judge between us and her allies. We desire that she should crate a situation in the Balkans which will be in agreement with the principle of national unification, international justice, and true democracy. ""We would like to see the United States exerting their moral influence not only where their material interests are affected but also where moral truth and sacred justice call out to them. Devastated Macedonia cries for justice to all the world. Can America remain a silent witness when other countries are endeavoring to subjugate Macedonia." "Second, that on the return of the absent doctor; his patients will be refused treatment and will be instructed to return to him for medical attention. "In order that this plan may be carried out it is necessary that the doctors who remain at home may know who are the patients of the absent doctors and It is therefore urged on the part of all patients of doctors who have entered the military service that when they call another doctor they inform him that- they have been patients of the ' doctor now absent in order that a proper accounting may be made." ' " ' . "At present the only doctor from Wayne county in the military service is Dr. S. C. Markley who left last Saturday, but others have enlisted and will, be called soon and this plan of protecting the practice of absent doctors will apply to all. -MEDICAL DEFENSE COMMITTEE OF WAYNE COUNTY."

NAMES GIVEN m LATEST REVELATIONS ABOUT BERLIN

State Department Publishes Series of Telegrams Showing Embassy's Hidden Hand in America. DR. HALE MENTIONED WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Another series of sensational telegrams which passed between the German government and its embassy in this country was made public today by Secretary Lansing. They are remarkable for the degree of cunning and ingenuity displayed in the evident purpose to do all possible Injury to Germany's European enemies through cutting -off their resources in America while at the same time avoiding as far as possible incurring tho wrath of the American people by actual destruction of life in this country and Canada. The telegram comprising the series form the natural complement to tho correspondence already disclosed by the state department displaying absolutely convincing evidence of a well calculated and systematic violation o American neutrality by Germany during a period of more than a year, preceding the beginning of ruthless submarine warfare and the breach of rela- I lions between Germany and the United States. Through a Legation. Secretary Lansing said the telegrams had not been sent through the state department, thus leaving the inference that they have moved through one of the neutral legations. - The statement follows:' - -- "The secretary of state publishes the following two telegrams from the German foreign office to Count Von Eernstorff in January 1916: "January 3 Secret General staff desires energetic action In regard to proposed destruction of Canadian Pacific railway at several points with a view to complete and protracted interruption of traffic.
