CAPT. Won PAPEN
INDICTED BY U. S.
Charged With Conspiracy By
Federal Grand Jury.

Rive conspirators Indicted, the Iden.
tity Of the Fifth One Remaining a
secret-Dynamite Taken to Niagara
Falls Where Plan Was Abandoned.
New York, April 1S.-Captain Hans
Taucher, husband of Nine. Gadski, the
grand opera singer; Captain Franz
Won Papen. the recalled German mill.
tary attache at Washington and three
other men were indicted by the fed
eral grand Jury for alleged part in the
conspiracy to blow up the Welland
canal IN Canada.
A. A. Fritzen was one Of the FIVE in
dicted. and a man named Kovanni was
another. The name of the fifth man
Is at present being withheld.
Van Papen is in Germany and be-
yond the Jurisdiction of the United
States. Tauscher will be arrested at
his New York home. The whereabouts
of Fritzen is unknown.
This is the first time that Won Pap
en- has been named in any formal
charge in any of the federal or state
Investigations Of alleged plots framed
by Teutonic agents, though his name
and that of Captain Boyd, late Ger
man naval attache. have been men
toned frequently.
The FIVE alleged conspirators are
charged with having set on foot in the
United States an enterprise injurious
to foreign country at peace with the
United States in plotting to destroy
the canal.
The indictment of Won Papen came
as a surprise. II was understood that
his former position Of military attache
of the German embassy made him i'm
mune to prosecution.
''He could not have been indicted
while he was serving in that position"
Assistant United States Attorney
Wood said. "but his indictment is valid
now since he has ceased to be an Of
fcial in the diplomatic service"
Fritzen is charged with having car
ried dynamite in a suit cese across
the border from Buffalo to Canada in
of the plot against N ha
canal. Gonzales or Kovanni. is de-
scribed by Mr. Wood as won Der
Goltz's most intimate friend and as
sociate in the plots against British
property and United States neutral
ity."
Mr.. Wood emphatically refused to
give even a hint as to the Identity of
the fifth person indicted. Rumors as
to who this person is were flying thick
about the federal building, but there
was no basis for the use Of the vari-
Gus names put forth.

The Dixie Highway

The Dixie Highway is intended to benefit great
many people.
II means easy transportation
Now transportation is tax. 1t takes something off
the price the farmer gets and il adds something to the
price the pays Lessen cost of transportation
and you benefit the farmer who sells produce, and the
village woman who buys produce.
And the Dixie Highway means easy travel. Your
will travel over more country, know more people,
have more girls from whom to pick his wife!
Everybody along the line will get some of the money
that is paid out in making the Dixie Highway. Some will
get work, others will furnish food for the workers.
And do you know some OF the people most benefited
by the road will try to steal money from it by charging
high prices for little scraps of land otherwise holding
upl And others will give days and days OF unpaid
labor to helping the thing through

ARTILLERY linen sno NOW.

"And Jonathan gave his artillery
unto his lad and said unto him, Go
carry them to the city," One can
hardly read that verse without a smile
In these days OF big guns. The mind
involuntarily pictures the little lad
walking or with a sixteen inch gun
tucked beneath either arm. But It is
worth recalling that ARTILLERY" origi
nally meant only arrows and missiles
Of that kind. Some have derived the
word from "arcus." bow; others from
'artelaria." the art Of missile throw
ing. The first development toward the
big modern meaning. however. may be
traced In the Scriptures when we read
OF "engines invented by cunning men
TO shoot arrows and great stones"

turning to camp the Americans

forty were killed. Although there
