George washington's Birthday.

Editor Times: The 22d of February is
the anniversary of the birth of George
Washington, the father Of our country.
It is weilknown fact that he prided
himself upon being gentleman. He had
a coat of arms emblazoned upon the pan
els of his carriage, embroidered upon his
book mark and engraved upon his watch
seal. His personal appearance was that
Of a perfect gentleman and an accom-
plished warrior, Thomas Jefferson said

So many rumors are spread broadcas It
whenever there is disease outbreak in
any community that the real situation is
quite likely to be distorted and magnifed
by persons who are not in position to
know. Therefore, it is with pleasure
that the authoritative word is received
from st. Adams that the conditions there
are greatly improved after an epidemic
of septic sore throat and that the order
to close public places will probably be
rescinded very soon. During the time
when the epidemic was at its height
there has been no actual suspension of
business, as some might have been led
to infer, albeit the operations We're some
what curtailed because of the fact that
hundreds were i'll. The community is
already getting back into its accustomed
stride and within short time there will
he nothing of the disease but the mem
DRY. We congratulate st. Adams on the
fact that it is on the mend.

is believed the order was issued from
Washington in the belief that Ger
man propaganda would be found
Upon gaining entrance, the gov
eminent officials rushed TO various
parts of the four-story building with
the evident plan 10 see that nothing
was concealed By officials OF the
company or watchmen.
The raiders appeared armed with
sledges and axes and without notice
or warning smashed in the massive
main door and began their search
The work Of bundling up papers for
transfer and inspection began i'm

Several of the raiding party par

Hamburg American line Offices in
New York
Following tOday's raid, govern
ment officials were seen superintend
ing excavation work beneath the
property ormerly occupied by the
North German-Lloyd line. This
gave rise to the report that valuable
German papers have been buried
beneath the property.
