Washington. May c9.-Attorney

sible for the agitation which has
manifested itself in localities from

Officials have undertaken an ex-

IL the whole anti draft sentiment
is not rooted in extensive nachi-
nations of German propagandists

Color to this theory is lent by
the marked similarity in the meth

believe that the entire agitation is

WILMINGTON, May 29.-The text of
Vice Admiral Sims brief report on the
presence of advance information in
Germany regarding the sailing of the
American destroyers to the war zone

An interesting feature in connection
with the arrival of the destroyers is
the report that their sailing appeared
in Berlin newspapers about four days
before their arrival, and also that a
field of mines was planted Immediately
off the entrance of the port at which
they arrived the day before the ar
rival. These were the first mines
planted in that vicinity during the
previous three months.

Miral, did not give any statement or
speculation as to how Berlin obtains

extract from the report:
Il am pleased to report the excellent
impression given by our officers. ships
and crew under their command. The
commander when questioned by the
admiral as to when his vessels would
be ready to report for duty reported
that he should be ready that night as
soon as the ships were re -fueled. This
was apparently a considerable surprise
to the admiralty, who then gave them
four days before taking up active work
The vessels themselves caused n great
deal of complimentary comment and
were found to be well equipped fol
their prospective duty.

Director Levasseur Hopes for
Large Attendance at
Practice.
The Honor Roll.

Local subscriptions to the swimming
pool may be coming in rather slowly,
but 1t may be possible to raise the
money outside Of Missoula in case the
citizens fail to evidence sufficient ma
terial interest to put across" the cam
paign for the pool. The case Is used
adviscdly as The Muscular believes
that there will be an increasingly en-
thusiastic response to the call and 1t
hopes that this increase in enthusiasm
will manifest itself right away. The
reason for believing that the outside
might build the pool for Missoula is
found in a letter received by The Mis-
soulian yesterday from Roy S. Al
ley Of Butte. who not only heartily en-
dorsed the movement for a municipal
swimming pool. but enclosed his check
for 800 to help the campaign along.
Mr.. Alley writes as follows:
Mr.. Alleys Letter.
II enclose herewith my check to
your order for 500 as a contribution
to the fund being raised to provide a
swimming pool for the children Of
Missoula. My only regret is that I
cannot make this check larger I
whom the old swimmin' hole appeals

sympathize with the efforts to protect
the little fellows in n healthful recrea-
ton.

preciated by The Missoulian and it
