WIRELESS PLANT FOUND BY POLICE
German Sympathizer at Buenos Aires Operates Secret Hidden Equipment.
By International News Service.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 11—Following reports that a wireless plant had been set up near the German legation, an investigation was made today revealing its location on the roof of the home of a former Argentine Ambassador to a South American country. 
It was so cleverly concealed hat the police apparently had overlooked it. It was a small plant and the pole to which the antennae wires were attached was only eight feet high. A number of other wireless plants, of sufficient power to receive messages from Germany [rest of section cut off]

[cut words] eterans' Day Draws Great Thongs to Grounds.
Thursday Governor's Soldiers' and Confederate Veterans' day at the Fair, proved the greatest of all days of the Alabama State Fair, and the throngs which passed through the gates seemed to increase hourly, and by night promised to break all previous records.
In addition, many citizens of Aniston, Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia were on hand to take advantage of "their day" at the Fair, and all seemed thoroughly to enjoy the attractions offered.
For lovers of sport there also was the Derby Day feature in addition to the regular race horse day, and long before the hour set for the event there could been seen the hundreds gathering in and around the grandstand watching, for the good things offered for the day.

9 a. m.—Gates open.

Birmingham Streets in Parade.
Numbering now a bare 600, in the thin line of gray-clad heroes representing all that is left of the State's army of the Old South, Thursday morning marched in parade to the martial music of the New South by the regimetnal bands from Camp McClellan at Anniston. 
The tottering gray line of Civil War veterans whose courage built up an ideal of Southern valor that will live forever, marching along with the strong, khaki-clad soldier musicians, sons of their Southern comrades and of their Northern foes, made a significant appeal to the thousands and thousands of spectators who crowded the streets to watch the parade of the Confederate Veterans Thursday morning.
And as the bands played "Dickie," "America" and other stirring battle songs, great waves of cheers swept over the crowds packed into the streets, hanging from windows and roofs. When the division of veterans by their

SOCIALISTS ACTIVE IN SAILORS' MUTINY AT WILHELMSAVEN 
Members of Reichstag Involved Along With More Than 3,000 of Crews.
By International News Service. 
COPENGAGEN, Oct. 11.—
More than 3,000 sailors and several members of the Reichstag were involved in the mutiny in the German navy which developed late in August, according to information reaching here from a German naval port.
The leaders were plotting revolution when the outbreak was checked by loyal German soldiers and sailors. Most of the warships affected were lying at Wilhelmshaven when uprising took place.
Causes Leading to Mutiny. 
Latest reports give the following causes as the chief ones leading up to the mutiny. 
1. Influence exerted by the success of the successful revolt in Russia which inspired the men to a demand for "naval committee" such as now exist in the Russian [cannot make out word]
2. Insufficient food.
3. Low morale canned by long inactivity 
Whether there was any connection in the outbreak in the navy and the mutinous uprising among the German soldiers on the Western front, is unknown, [rest of section cut off]

Heavy Fighting is Raging in Belgium 
French and British Troops Strive Desperately Drive Germans From [cannot make out work] Forest. 
By International News Service. 
London [cannot make out date]—Heavy fighting has been taking place at two [cannot make out word] points on the western front during the past 24 house with the French engaged at both places. On the West Flanders front the French extended their gains, although the British were compelled to give ground under violent German counter attacks over a wide front. 
Both French and British troops are engaged in a desperate effort to drive the Germans from Houthoulst forest, in Belgium, the former attacking from the west and the latter from the south. This is a piece of high wooded ground of great strategic importance. The fighting continues amid storms of ruins and burst of gun fire. 
At Verdun and the German Crown Prince suddenly resumed his assaults on the right bank of the Meuse River, gaining a foothold in first line French trenches near Chause forest. 
Fighting activity is on the increase on then Italian front, but the Italian offensive has reached an exceeding difficult stage.
Winter weather has set in and already many of the mountain passes are choked with deep snow. Dispatches from Rome today told of strong Austro-Hungarian attacks on the Carso plateau, but the operations around Monte Candanile, northeast of Gorizia, are meeting with serious obstacles.

2—M THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1921 
Plans Compete for Elaborate Ak-Sar-Ben Festival Of 1921
Automobile And Horse Races, Flying Stunts Musical Show Among Attractions
"Go"
When the starter shouts this command at Ak-Sar-Ben track Tuesday afternoon, the cream of Great Western circuit race horses will obey that impulse, and race fans will see the beginning of one of the classiest race meets held in the west. 
For this meet 176 horses, pacers, trotters and "jumpers"have been entered, while purses of more than $5,000 have been hung up for the winners. 
The 2:03 pace the opening day is the smallest card of entries for the entire meet. Only six horses are entered. But the host of wonderful horse-flesh that will be in that event will make up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Hal Mahone, 2:01¼: Red Launcelot, 2:02¼; Russell Boy, 2:00½; Tiberius, 2:05¼; Jonnie Quirk, 2:01¼ are the entries and a better field of goers would be hard to find. 
The 2:11 pace for a purse of $1,500 and the 2:12 trot for a similar purse are the big events on Wednesday and Thursday programs. 
Each race has 21 entries. It is thought that out of those entries at least 12 will hear the word "go" by the starter.
The 2:15 trot Friday, the closing day of the meet, is the class of the day's program. In this event 16 horses have been entered. The 2:10 pace Thursday has 15 entries, so there is no danger of any horse shortage during this meet. 
The colts will be given an opportunity to show their mettle this season. The 3-year-old pace Thursday has 15 youngsters entered, and the 2-year old trot for the same day has 14 entries. There are some fast babies in the lost of youngsters and some good races are expected.
 In addition to the races a host of free acts on the platform in front of the grandstand, on the race track and in the air are to be given after each heat.
    "The Smiles of 1921," a musical extravaganza with pretty girls,peppy music and beautiful costumes will spread joy each afternoon and evening.
