With organized vice for an encuy

Secret servic agents, working as an
adjunc of the military, investigated
northwest citis and quickly unearth-
ed plot that threatened to destroy
western soldiers morally and physical
~
Seattle was named as stronghold OF
of underworld forces. The report of
conditions was made to Major Gen
eral H. A. Greene and prompt action
followed
Acting in accord with the presi-
tial policy, Genral Greene requested
civil authoritis of Washington to
clean house, and declared that if i'm
provments did not result he would be
compelled to deny his troops visit
ing privileges.
AS soon as select service began
arriving at the camp, harpies from
western cities bootleggrs, gamblers
and drug peddlers stared their drive
AT the front door of the canton
ment a Joy City" sprang up, threat
ening the welfare of the soldiers. But
under q general order for troops to
keep away from the resort it faded
quickly.
When city officials Jagged in acting
on the commanders request for a
cleanup, General Greene made the fol
owing statement:
The is an unorganized and power

300 women, and some of the men III

this evil thing is crushed l soon Will
issue an order prohibiting my troops

less satisfactory action is taken by
civil authorities, there is only one
thing to be done-place Seattle under
quarantine. l would regret to issue
such an order since many Of the men
in camp have their home in that city"
The general considers the threat of
vice as serious as the threat Of an
epidemic of sickness and will act ac-
cordingly.
Mayor H. c. Gill of Seattle has re-
quested the city council to revoke the
licences of numerous dance halls, and
other steps are being taken.
Seattle citizens, newspapers and
ministers are strong in their support
of the cantonment commander in his
action against vice.
General Greene is making good his
statement of last August in which he
declared he would do his utmost to
protect his troops against such con
ditions as are now being exposed

enemy. Stones desertion was the
stroke of an assassin in the Guise of
a protector.
That in his mad course Of anti
American folly he disclosed secret
and confidential information con-
cerning the navy's plans Of defense
Is the natural climax of his unspeak-
able conduct.
OF all these Senators who have
proved their unfitness for response
bDity in a crisis. the most conspic-
ubus misfit is Senator Stone. No
longer can he he trusted with the
honor and interests of the nation in
dealing with foreign affairs. No

fidential information. Resignation
from the chairmanship OF the Foreign
Relations Committee and from the
Senate would he the most becoming
act of his career.
He owes the first to his country;
he owes the second to the people of
Missouri. who have hohOred him with
the highest Offices in their gift, and
whose shame and repentance should
be tempered by his retirement.

resign the Craftsmanship he should be

DISTRICT SHORTAGE

NJ. C. Hargrove, purchasing officer
OF the District, today announced he
had purchased sufficient coal to last
the schools and District government
buildings until Monday. Three hun
dred tons were bought yesterday af-
ternoon from the L. +. White Com
pany, of this city; payment to be made
when the money is appropriated by
Congress.

under a similar agreement, will be
opened at the District building Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock. 1t was
at first decided to invite bids for
5000 tons. but later 1t was thought
better not to tie up the District with
so Large a contract
Mr.. Hargrove said today he thought
Il would not be necessary to close any
Of the public schools or Government
buildings because of lack OF fuel.
The District has suffered all win
ter from a shortage, and the failure
OF Congress to- pass the general de-
ficiency bill, in which was included
an item of 500 700 for coal, has add
ed to its embarrassment. Officials are

SAYS WILSON HAS POWER
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania
Ayers He May Arm Ships.

81 have not the slightest doubt that
President Wilson has the power un-
der the Constitution to arm American
merchant ships for offensive pur-
poses," said Senator Philander C.
fKnox. THE Government is not rem
dered helpless and contemplate The
President has ample authority to arm
these merchant ships, and there need
be no concern about the pirate laws
OF 1919 interfering.
IF the President has the authority
to supply arms to merchant ships, as
he himself said he has, and as l be-
lieve he has, Congress could enact no
law that would curtaiI that authority.
The constitutional right OF the Presi-
dent cannot be infringed by q
statute.
THE suggestion that the Com
mander-in-chief of the army and navy
has not the authority under the Con-
stitution to protect American ships
and American lives appears to me to
be unworthy of argument
There is no question about that
authority. The fact that Congress
has enacted certain laws which ap-
pear to conflict with that grant OF
power may be brushed aside as un-
important. The President is entirely
justified in proceeding to arm the
ships as he originally proposed"
Senator Knox is in favor of the
adoption of the cloture rule as agreed
upon by the committee representing
the Republican and Democratic eau
cuses: the amendment to the new
rule which prohibits amendments to
a pending bill after cloture has been
invoked appeals to him as fair and
a proper means of preventing further
filibuster after deciding to bring
the main question to a vote.

ers to several propagandas before the
rupture of relations between the
United States and Germany, but it
could not be learned today whether

.Master Spy, Suspected.
President Wilson is understood to
be extremely nettled over the efforts
of both the willful and the misguided
pacifists who are endeavoring to be-
fog the issues in the German situa-
tion. His intolerance for "hyphenates"
is well known and II is understood
that the determination of the Depart
ment OF Justice to uncover unpatriotic
citizens" had its inception in direc-
tions from the White House.
The belief that there is a master
spy" abroad in the United States di-
recting the operations of a small
army of German agents and represent
tatives is heightened by the latest de-
velopments showing a thoroughly or
ganized espionage system. Confess
sions by DIR. Ernest Sekunna, a Ger
man chemist, and Dr. Chandre Chak-
raberty, a Hindu physician, arrested
in New York this week, have added to
this belief.
Left Doctors Directions.
Wolf Won IgeI. the attache OF the
German embassy, who returned to
Germany with Count Won Bernstorff
after indictments against him had
been dismissed, gave instructions to
the two doctors. according to their
confession, but it was said here to
day that Won IgeI IS not believed TO
have been the directing genius be-
hind the German propaganda.
Prominent COMMUNICATIONS who
are known by the Department of JUS
tice to have been active, both person
ally and financially, in past peace
prOpagandas are now under almost
constant surveillance and will con
tinue objects of suspicion during the
period that this country remains dip
lomatically estranged with Germany.
1t is understood that secret orders
have gone forth to officers of the
army and navy to be alert for suspi-
cious persons in the service. Mean
while many of the records Of the en-
listed forces are being scanned to do
tect indications Of possible spies in
the naval and military forces.
The Treasury Department has also
the task of ascertaininR
the exact character and nationality Of
its employees at the various ports with
a view to removing such persons as
might menace this country in the
event of an actual declaration OF war
or even a less serious situation de-
veloping than now exists.
