SECRET
SERVICE PROVES
VALUE OF UNIT

A fourth great secret service organ
ization has been brought into being
by the war.
1t is the office of naval intelligence
of the Navy Department, an organi-
zation which is not in itself new, but
which has taken on manifold new ac-
tivities since the United States enter
ed the war.
Naval intelligence men are now
working in conjunction with secret
service operatives and agents OF the
Bureau of Investigation OF the De-
partment OF Justiceiin running down
German plotters and other enemies of
the Government. The army has an
intelligence system OF its own. but
the general public has not been per-
mitted to learn OF its activities.
Reveals New Activity.
The work Of the Naval Intelligence
Bureau came to public attention with
the sensational arrest in New York
OF ninety-six Germans and their in
ternment at Ellis Island for the Pc
riod of the war.
The Navy Department agents work
ed alone on this job, and the public
had no inkling of the roundup OF
Germans until the suspected aliens
were in detention camp.
Then it developed that the navy
agents had uncovered a plot with
widespread ramifications designed to
play havoc with munitions plants,
war-order plants, and shipping.
The full extent OF these plots is not
known, because, like the other gov
ernmental detective agencies, the
naval intelligence officers are

on the day of the grand assault the
lighting was still in progress.
The Scotsmen had run out of
grenades and were without rifles.
All they had to fight with were clubs,
bayonets and stones.
The Germans had been ordered by
Prince Rupprecht to die rather than
yield and they died. But the sacri-
fice was in vain.
THE crushing superiority of the
British artillery, with the accuracy
OF its FIRE. had prepared for the
British q ground clear of all ambus-
cades.
Clearing Made CharneI House.
within sight of the Ypres-Menin
road there Is a little clearing that
was transformed by the British ar
tillery into a charnel house. 1t was
nicknamed He'll Fire Corner and the
appellation was most appropriate.

TOFOURTH.
D. c. CONTINGENT.

Cheers from 5000 throats drowned
out the music OF the United States
Marine Band as the fourth soldier
special train bearing ninety-three re-
cruits to Camp Meade, left the Union
Station at s:35 o'clock this morning.
1t was the most remarkable demon
stratfon attending the departure OF
soldiers answering the nations call.
which Washington has seen since the
days OF 'oS.
The presence at the front OF the
cheering crowds OF several hundred
Washington school children. waving
flags was one feature OF the patriotic
demonstration.
Ninety-three Men Leave.
In the party entraining today were
forty-five men from the fifth division
and forty-eight men from the tenth
division. With the 242 men previous
ly sent from Washington, this swells
the Districts total OF men furnished
the national army to 1876. The re-
naming elghty-three of the first As
per cent contingent of 41S will leave
for Camp Meade tomorrow morning.
Crowds lined Pennsylvania avenue
southeast when the forty-nve men
from the fifth division marched from
the headquarters at Fifth and E
streets southeast at o'clock.
Following Che soldiers of the draft
army and trying their best TO keep
step with the long military stride,
came more than 100 school children
of the wallach School, waving flags
and singing patriotic airs played by
the band.
After the NTH division detachment
had passed through the station gates
and lined up for roll call, with the
Marine Band at their head, the forty
eight men of the tenth division came
marching through.
Old Flag At Head.
At the head OF the men OF division
10. as they marched from the Con-
tlnental hotel, where they had as
sembled at seven o'clock, was proudly
carried a silk flag OF thirtyAfive stars
that went through the Civil and
Spanish wars. This flag, the prop
erty OF W. V. Cox, chairman OF the
tenth division board, was carried by
Ernest Ginnetti, of T5S Hobart street.
Every man in the nth division con-
tingent wore across his breast a
placard inscribed:
"I'n Be the First Man over the
Rhine"
The soldier special was placarded
with this legend.
I'VE don't mind giving the Ger
mans this military information" Com
missioner Brownlow told the piacard
bearers.
Band Cheers Crowd.
Just to cheer the sweethearts that
managed to get through the gates for
a farewell kiss from their soldier
boys the band played the The Girl
/ Left Behind Me-" and as the train
pulled out the band gave the soldiers
a farewell OF "Auld Lang Syne."
The soldier special left with flags
waving from the windows and cheer
ing and singing crowds OF rockies
on the observation platform. Moth
ers and sweethearts and the Wallach
School children waved flags and
handkerchiefs until the last car pass
ed from sight around the curve head
ed for Camp Meale, where the new
District soldiers will join their COM
rades sent in the three earlier con-
tingents.

shrouding their activities with the
greatest secrecy. But IL Is known
that the tip on which the recent New
York arrests were made, and on which
a general roundup of suspicious
emmy aliens is to be made, came
from naval intelligence officers IN
European countries.
staff Is Increased.
A large increase in the staff OF the
office OF naval intelligence has bean
made since the United States entered
the war. In the headquarters OF this
office in the navy annex Capt. Roger
Welles, chief intelligence officer, ha"
one commander and five lieutenant
commanders as his commissioned
naval assistants, and one major and
four first lieutenants OF the marine
corps.
Secrecy Is maintained as to the
number OF men employed IN the field,
just as the Treasury Department
maintains secrecy as to the size Of its
secret service force and the Depart
ment OF Labor conceals the number of
tion agents.
The naval office of naval intelli-
gence Is the agency through which all
information as to activities OF other
navies Is collected and compiled. In
the office at Washington is a trained
civilian force OF translators whose
work IL is to translate the reports in
foreign languages and decode the
cipher reports.
These activities have been greatly
broadened by the new plot investiga-
tions now being conducted by the
naval intelligence officers and opera
tives in this country from which SEN
satiOnal developments are expected.

''The S is for Sam" said a District
man, I'VE are the real Sammies."
Its for suicide-this is the Suicide
Club" another said. This title seems
to stick, and 1t was good advertising.
Now there are many applications for
transfers from the infantry, but there
is no admission as yet to any but the
elect.
Major Edward L. Zane, commander
of this 312th battalion. is a soldier
through and through. He is big.
fine fellow and his crowd is standing
by him. No man on the east side
where artillery. mortar batteries. fire
and gas. and other fancy stuff will be
handled-is more popular. He is keen
and alert for the new features Of the
war game which Uncle Sam will wage
with Kaiser Bill.
No Such Work Yet.
or course the unit has not taken up
any of its distinctive work yet. The
District men are making great strides
with the eIementary soldering. They
were quick to catch on to marching.
That came to them, no doubt. because
they have noticed so much more OF 1t
than men from other cities where SOL
diers were scarcely ever seen until
the big war changed the aspect Of
things.
Here is the way the Washington
men line up by districts in the ma
chine gun battalion: Company A, dis
tricts 1. ;. 4, Z, and few OF No. :;
Company B. districts s. o. 10, and few
OF No. .; Company c. districts 0, o.
and IL, and a few more OF No. :. This
splitting into companies does not take
the fellows far apart They are to-
gether now and hope to be together
some night when the word comes to
creep out into No Mans Land and set
things up ready for business when
Huns pop their heads up.
Want to See Guns.
What the men are yearning for
now IL a glimpse OF their guns.
The Washington crowd is lively and
has helped to make things lively for
others in this unit. Hy WeiSenberg
is one OF the business men who has
laid all cares aside. He is one OF the
best singers on the hill.
The same real estate man who OBJ
tained leases on the camp land Is
securing the country hereabouts. His
idea Of the real size OF the camp is
0, 900 acres. More land may be taken
for parade uses and surveyors are at
work charting OF a road to connect
camp with Washington and Annapo-
lis. When all this data from sur
veyors has been studied the question
OF a road route will be taken up. The
road is expected to be a boon to this
section. The surveyors are working.
