Philadelphia, March 19. Further
developments in the alleged plot to
smuggle chronometers ashore from
the German commerce raiders Kron-

rich, interned at the Philadelphia navy
yard, were expected to-day. In addi-
tion to the five persons, including one
woman, already under arrest as the
result of the investigation being con-
lducted by agents of the Department
iof Justice, 1t was reported that a
number of others would be taken into
custody within "a hours.
Federal agents working on the in
iVeStigation refused either to confirm
or deny these reports. They admitted,
however, that the smuggling charge is
a subterfuge to hold the alleged prin-
cipals until the entire plot, which they

Look For CipheTs
The nineteen chronometers said to

and which are believed to be of vital
importance to the investigation were
sent yesterday to an expert clock
maker for examination. Prior to their
delivery they had been treated to an
acid bath to ascertain If the dials
contained any secret cipher message
or to bring out any symbols that might
have been traced on their faces in in
visible ink. The examination by the
clockmaker was ordered in an effort

Dr. T. Alphonsus Wallace. physician
OF many years experience in this coun-
try and who has been given many hon
orary titles in England, was next ask
ca TO give an opinion on NuXated Iron.
Dr. Wallace said:
II do not make a practice of recon-
mending advertised medicinal products
but / have found Nuxated Iron so po-
tent in nervous. rundown conditions
that | believe all should know of it.
The men and women of to-day need
more iron in their blood than was the
case twenty or thirty years ago. This
because of the demineralized diet which
now is served daily in thousands of
homes and also because of the demand
for greater resistance necessary to off,
set the greater number of health haz-
ards to be met at every turn"
The next to be consulted was DIR.
Ferdinand King, a New York physician
and author, who said:
James has said only in some respects
/ would go further. DR.. James forgot
to mention how foods lose their iron
value by improper methods of cookery.
In the most common foods of America,
the starches, sugars, table syrups, can
dies, polished rice, white bread, soda
tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated corn
meal. no longer is iron to be found.
Rehning processes have removed the
iron OF Mother Earth from these inn
poverished foods and silly methods of
home cookery, by throwing down the
waste pipe the water in which our veg
elaDleS are cooked is responsible for
another grave iron loss. Therefore if
you wish to preserve your youthful
vim and vigor to a ripe age, you must
supply the iron deficiency in your food
by using some form of organic IRON
Nuxated Iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt"

workers were represented In the con-
ference, called to determine and an
nounce the part to be claimed by
labor in national preparedness plans.

A statement formally adopted and
issued after the meeting set forth in
addition to the offer of services in case
of war, various demands which were
held to be fundamentals In safeguard
ing the rights of workers in war times
as well as in peace. Militarism was
protested against; 1t was held that in-
dustrial service should be deemed
equally meritorious as military service;
that service should conform to trade
union standards and that organized
labor should have representation on
all agencies determining and admins
tering policies of national defense and
controlling publicity. The concluding
paragraphs of the statement, pledging
labor's support to the nation follow:
I'VE, the officers of the national and
international trade unions of America

attempt to tamper with the works and
if so to determine what it indicated.
Federal agents said the chronometers
could be used as time fuses to explode
bombs which might be secreted in the
vessels for the purpose of destroying
them in case of war.
Orders authorizing a search of the
interned raiders were expected from
Washington to-day. Mayor Smith yes
terday made personal appeal to Sec
retary Daniels of the Navy Depart
ment for the removal of the two ships
on the ground that they constitute a
menace to the safety of the city. He
was assured that every precaution was

The investigation yesterday, as far
as 1t was permitted to be made public,
centered to a great extent around
Adelbert K. Fischer ana his wife, two
of the principals arrested in connec-

learned that the Schultz and Koerting

Opinions of DR.. Ferdinand King New York Medical Al
and other physicians who have tested Nuxated Iron

In a very interesting and instructive
discourse on the great value of plenty
of iron in the blood, DR.. Howard James,
late of the United States Public Health
Service, said:
"A patient of mine remarked to me,
(afer having been on six weeks
course of NuXated Iron).
"'Say, Doctor, that there stun is like
magic.
previous to using Nuxated Iron, 1
had been prescribing the various min
meet complaints of discolored teeth
disturbed digestion, tied up, hardened
secretions, etc, and had about reach
ed the conclusion that the only way to
supply iron was to get the patient to
eat very large quantities of spinach,
carrots, and lentils, when came across
preparation containing organic iron,

throw away habit-forming drugs and
nauseous concoctions and take simple
Nuxated Iron, 1 am convinced that the
lives OF thousands of persons might be
saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kid
ney, liver and heart troubles. etc. The
real and true cause which started their
diseases was nothing more nor less
than lack of iron in the blood
Thousands of people suffer from iron
deficiency and do not know it.
IF you are not strong or we'll, you
owe 1t to yourself to make the follow
ing test: See how long you can work or
how far you can walk without becom-

lets of Nuxated Iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. From my own
experience with Nuxated Iron l feel it
is such a valuable remedy that it
should be kept in every hospital and
prescribed by every physician in this
country
DIR. e. Sauer, Boston physician, who
has studied both in this country and
great European medical institutions,
was asked what he thought OF DIR.
James remarks. In reply, he said: IT
fully agree with DR.. James. People need
more iron. There can be no strong, Wig

women without iron. Not long ago a
