applying for the position, claiming that
she was as homely as mud fence

INTERCHANGEABLE CLOTHES
These men go on to wonder, when
they are in a speculative frame OF
mind, why women want all their
clothes so much alike and how it is
that they don't. through some sudden
arrangement of mind. appear at the
opera in a bathrobe or at a luncheon
party in a ball gown.
The women make answer to this bit
of speculation that they probably do
make these mistakes very often, but
that no man is competent to Judge of
the mistake and few women notice 1T.
The wrapper is no longer a wrapper
and the very best dressmakers advise
the use of formal luncheon gown on

DETECTIVES SEEK
 ALIEN ALARMISTS
Running Down Source of Wild
 RumorS of Naval Disaster

The government has started a roundup of the persons who for sev- eral weeks past-in fact almost from the day that President Wilson signed the declaration of war against Ger many-have been circulating rumors through the country that the navy had met with Q great disaster, and that the navy department was keeping the facts from the people. Already about dozen men suspected of knowing about the origin of the rumors have been located by federal agents and a demand made upon them to give the government all the information they possess.
 Rumors that American warships had been in battle with the German fleet and that several of the Ameri- can vessels had been lost with their crews, that mutiny had taken place on Q battleship of the Atlantic fleet while that ship was on the way to a French port, and that the superdread- nought Pennsylvania. flagship of the fleet had been destroyed. have been circulated in New York, Baltimore. Boston and other cities. Still another rumor which gained wide circulation in New York a few weeks ago was that the superdreadnought Arkansas had been mysteriously blown mp and the navy hospitals were full of wound ed marines and bluejackets.
 One of the men who is now being investigated by the secret service
New Britain herald., 1917-06-13

U06n sGs1AS CA UOaTO one O1 .Ite Atlantic fleet battleships. and that in quelling it many bluejackets were wounded and several killed. The gov- ernment was able to locate the man who wrote the letter, and he was taken before tho proper authorities yesterday. Whether or not he dis closed the source of his rumor the government agents declined to say last night.
 Another scheme followed by the enemy aliens, believed to be responds ble for this propaganda, the purpose o1 which is to stir up discontent in the naval service. and to cause the peo- pie generally to distrust the govern ment, 1s to tell these stories to boys in their teens, especially school boys and newsboys. who carry the news to all Is desired to have the report cir culated.
 Daniels Aroused to Action
 For weeks these reports have been coming to the attention of the federal authorities, and in each instance the report has been promptly branded as false by Secretary Daniels, but even his vigorous denials failed to stop the rumor-mongers, and the result was the issuance last Saturday of the off, cial statement in which Secretary Daniels said that 'the country Is be- ing poisoned by rumors of battle and disaster that are absolutely without the slightest foundation in truth" and that reports from officers In command of naval stations, inquiries from news papers and individuals, letters and telegrams from all parts of the coun- try had led him ''to the conclusion that there Is an organized conspiracy on foot to alarm and distress the peo- pie of the United States"
 That these rumors are part of the German propaganda work now beina carried on in this country by spies and other enemy aliens is the conclusion of the federal authorities. The roundup in New York is only a part of the nationwide dragnet that has been spread for these trouble-makers and every person who is caught and against whom there Is evidence that he, or she, has aided in spreading these lies will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. Each per- son taken before the federal agents in this city has been subjected to a rigor- ous cross-examination and several ol them, it is understood, have made fair ly complete statements. As to the na- ture of these statements nothing has been made public. All have been sent to Washington for the perusal of the secretary of the navy.
