GRAHAM WHITE IS EXECUTED
FAMOUS AVIATOR REPORTED
SHOT AS GERMAN SPY.
Wife Is Said To Have Been Given
Ten-Year Sentence AS His
Accomplish.

Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 19.-Graham
White, aviator, is reported to have
been shot in the Tower Of London as
German spy, and that his wife is
reported to have been given a ten
year sentence as his accomplish, in a
letter received by a Winnipegger from
his sister, a Winnipeg girl who is
nursing in London in military hospi-
tai.
The letter follows:
Every one believes that the un-
known German spy, shot in the Tower
of London, was none other than Ora
ham White, the aviator, and that his
accomplice, who got ten years, was
his wife, Mrs. Graham White. No
one seems to have heard Of them since
the trial. Before that the papers were
full of information about both. You
know, of course, that Graham White
was of German descent and that his
wife was German born and bred. EV
eryone seems to believe it over here"
incidentally the British government
has persistently refused to divulge
the names of either the man executed
or the woman sent to jail for ten
years.

BRITAIN NEEDS 100000 MEN
Recruiting Director Says If England
Raises this Number Germany viii
Consider Fighting Fruitless.

London, Oct. 10. Great Britain
needs 100000 more men by spring"
This declaration was made by Brigade
General Sir Eric Swayne, director Of
recruiting in the northern command,
in a speech at Hull. General Swayne
estimated that Germany still has
100000 or 100000 men between
the ages Of IS to 45 and that therefore
it was useless to talk about wearing
out Germany.
In the spring, said he, Germany
would lose more men than the Allies,
which would balance the numbers Of
the Allies and the central powers, but
If Great Britain should raise 100000
additional men, Germany probably
would recognize that it would be fruit
less to continue.
