UNSEEN DEATH CHIEF TERROR OFJHiS VAR Romance Is Gone Says English Captain In Letter to Paper.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, Sept.

20 "There Is no romance left In war;

it Is a dirty business, and every one of us who is into it Is determined that when we finish this war, it shall be so thoroughly finished that nobody

will ever start another.

ThuB writes a British transport cap

tain in a letter to his local newspaper, describing how he had Just lost twenty of his men, although they were nearly a doien miles behind the front, through a shell from a German longrange naval gun fifteen miles away. The shell was a chance shot. Here is the captain's story: "We have descended on a war of stink-pots, of spectacled chemists leering horribly in obscure labratories while they concoct the tortures of the damned, of medieval poisons, of flying death from the clouds. It is less lige war than some elemental devillshness which man is as powerless to control as he was the volcanoes which overwhelmed Pompeii or St. Pierre. It is not alone in the fore-front of the battle where men stand face-to-face, but in quiet places far back, where death flings himself with outrageous violence and suddeness. The ded men have never seen their foe; there has been no contest, no combat. Should Hear of It. "I witnessed an incident today the like of which I have seen before, the like of which is happening every day along these hundreds of miles of battle line. It is as well you should hear of it who have a quiet roof over your heads, who wait placidly under your umbrellas at the street corner for your tram car. - "I was at a cross roads, and a vast amount of traffic was moving by it, guns and wagons and panting motor lorries and officers on horseback and ambulonce3 Far in front hung motionless in the air the long row of balloons that marked the circle of the front. "It endured perhaps but two seconds before it precipitated that frightful tragedy towards which it was moving, but every second was an age. Every man who heard it held his brrath. "Now the whistle changed to a sudden plunging roar. A quarter of a ton was falling headlong through space and yet invisible. A rocking crash, and up from the road leaped a volcano of black earth and smoke and stores. The whole air Ailed itself with shrieking bits of metal, whirling, swathes of dust and choking fumes. Horsoa were plunging, men cursing. Above all rang the screams of mortal agony. "I gazed with horror towards the ot and saw a wagon lying with Its '.heels up In the ditch, it3 horses :.-ins motionless nearby. In the grass by the roadside lay some Inert figures ui .men whose absolute motionless tcld its own tale. "One thought of the homes suddenly emptied for away, of mothers and A'lves and cb.'ldren that would wait in vain. And it has all been done by the unseen hand that had just pulled a string fifteen miles away."

Something Rotten Delaying Victory For Allies, He Says

PARIS, Oct. 15. Leon Daudet, edit, or of L' Action Francaise, who has taken a prominent part in the exposure of German intrigue in France, writes under the heading, "I am doing my duty in thi plot against France," that every one had noticed since the war began that "there was something rotten somewhere which delayed the victory of the allies." He continues: "This something w n German money employed within the allied countries. There was the Bolo Pasha fund for corruption of the press, the Von Buelow fund for diplomatic intrigues, and the Hohenlohe fund for promlting crimes and sedition. The last named fund in my opinion was by far the most important. "It was employed to promote the plot, carefully prepared for months, which broke out in both the army zone and the rear formations in May and June of this year. This plot nearly attained the results hoped for by the German government."

GREECE GOULD HAVE BEEN A

GREATPOWER Premier Says Opportunity Was Killed by King's Germanic Policy.

ATHENS) Oct. 15. (Correspondence of The Associated Press). A dream of empire which .wou'a have made Greece a ruling power in Asia Miner along the route to the Orient came very near being realized at the opening of the war in Europe. This has just been brought out with official exactness in the mass of diplomatic documents laid before parliament, and. in statements by Premier Venizelos and the Minister of Foreign A!Talrs, M. Politis. Referring to the territorial concessions which Greece could have acquired at that time, Mr. Venizelos said: "I had rucceeded in obtaining the recognition of the rights of Hellenism over western Asia Minor. And I can say without exaggeration that the day I received the communication' of Sir Edward Gray speaking of very important territorial concessions on the coast of Asia Minor, was a day of rejoicing as keen as that when, the treat v of Bucharest was signed, giv

ing us Saloniki, Macedonia and new Greece. "I, who bad known how small and feeble Greece was only three or four years ago, saw the stupifying bound she was about to make. This little Greece had now succeeded in occupying a place equal to that of the great powers in the settlement of the fate of Turkey which had been the apple of discord between the European powers." King Was Opposed But as Asia Minor was c field of

German ambition and hope M. Venizelos said he found himself opposed not only by the then king Constantine, but also by the army general staff, which, he declared, "served a policy purely Germanic." And with this opposition, backed by the king, the opportunity held out to Greece to become a great power in Asia was finally lost. M. Politis, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave some of the details of these concessions, and told how near they came to being realized in two formal treaties. "Such was the desire of the western powers," he said, "to have Greece adopt a policy mutually advantageous to them and to Greece, that they declared to the Hellenic government that they were ready to assure to Greece, in return for its cooperation in the war against Turkey, Smyrna and an important part of the hinterland." After lengthy discussion, M. Politis said, a double convention was concluded. But at this point the army staff intervened and succeeded In defeating the plan. While these large territorial plana came to nothing, yet their definiteness indicates they may again be heard from when the final adjustment of the war takes place, for Greece Is not unlikely to have the same aspirations toward entering Asia Minor, and the western powers the same willingness they have already shown to give Greece a foothold on this route to the Orient

EXPERTS GIVING CANNING LESSONS TO GIRL SCOUTS, AT CAMP OF MRS. DELANCEY NICOLL, OSSINING, N. Y. Girl Scouts of America, with a membership of approximately 150,000, are taking an active and practical part in the work of the United States Food Administration. All through the summer they have made gardens, harvested their own crops and have canned the perishable products. ' "To Save For a Soldier" is the heading of the special pledge cards which they are signing, and for that patriotic end they agree to use self denial in the matter of meat, wheat, candy and sweet drinks, to use more vegetables and fruit in the place of food which may be shipped across the sea to our armies and our allies and to help in securing milk for the children of soldiers. The Girl Scouts of Washington, D. C, met on Labor Day at the U. S. Food Administration building to mail to 1,000 Scout captains in all parts of the country, photographs of the U. S.

The American ship nsed international code flags to demand to know the freighter's identity. The cargo vessel failed to reply, but when the shot was fired Bhe immediately ran up

the flag of Sweden, followed by a string of pennants, indicating she was carrying food to the Belgians. Later the Swedish ship reported she bad failed to observe the American liner, owing to the latter's methods of concealment Meantime the American vessel fired a six-inch projectile at what was at first believed to be the periscope of a submarine hiding behind the freighter. The object proved to be a derelict epar. The shell reached its mark,.
