WILL SPREAD DRAGNET
If CONSPIRACY EXISTS
While carefully rcfraining from ma :
Ing specific statements. 1t is evident the
nelief Is held by some officials that
these accidents are part OF a general
conspiracy to cripple the output of
American made war supplies. Local nu-
thorities have been requested promptly

thelr Investigations. II then anything
like conspiracy is disclosed, nation :
wide dragnet will be set in an effort
to run to earth the men higher up',
VINO are supposed TO be the brains of
the conspiracy against American in
dustry.
For several weeks the secret agents
or both the Treasur: Department and
the Department of Justice have been
working on the alleged expose. in which
IT was claimed "a plot existed to vio-
late the neutrality of this country. In
both departments the lid has been shut
down tight recently, which leads 10 the
belief that the Department of Justice
may be on the eve of taking dcfnlte
action in the courts. Some of the best
experts of the Secret Service OF the
Treasury Department were detailed
several weeks ago to the State DEPART
mcnt. These are known TO have been
engaged on the so-called German prop
uganda case. and to-day two of them
at least. were ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to proceed 20 Acton

Dear editor: please allow me
space in your valuable paper fer
the following letter for the peo-
pie to consider.
What the Bible says about war
he Great teacher said Love your
enc my, bless them that curse you
do good to them that hate ou
and pray Tor them that Despite
fully use you. Matt. 5:o-So-44
When every body does this
there will he no war, all will be
righteous for love is the fulfllir G
OF the law. No person can love
every body without change of
heart.
What Jesus said about the
many in the Broadway and the
lew in the narrow way Matt. IL
I3 Ii show that msny are called
but few are chosen, yet thousands
OF people are prophesying peace
and safety the Gal. 5:I-5.
Forgetting that every man and
seducer shall wax worse deceiving
and being deceived Tim. 2:3-I3.
And that the tares and sinners
are hnanally to be destroyed in
stead being changed over into
wheat ye will not come unto me
said Jesus.
Many people in the last day
shall tell about peace as il it was
coming soon by tae conversion of
the world. The marginal reaG-
ing OF Isaiah calls such talk pic
tures OF desire and says they shall.
be brought low.
Declarations because OF what
the people have said he ioretells
destruction for those who 60 not
repent the same as does the prop
het Jobe it will be time Of gem
eral war.
Here are the people sayings
and the Lords sayings ,ide by
side they are direct opposite J ct
both refer to the last days whs a
the day OF the Lord is near.
Respectfully.
Rosa B. Davy.
