MORE EVIDENCE IN
 GERMAN SPY PLOT
CHARGED COMPLETE WIRELESS PLANT SHIPPED INTO MEXICO
 SUSPECT MAY TELL ALL.
MANY LETTERS ARE SEIZED
Expected That Translation Will Open Way To Full Revelation of Alleged Conspiracy To Send Military h.
 formation To Germany.

New York-Eyidence that two con- plete high-powered wireless installa- lions assembled here were shipped piecemeal to Mexico, supposedly for use of q German spy system in this country, was unearthed in connection with the arrest of three men on
 charges of conspiring to send mail containing military information from the United States to Germany through members of Norwegian ship crews.
 It was intimated by the United
 States commissioner before whom the
 alleged plotters were arraigned that
 it was through their instrGmentality
 that advance news of the impending
 arrival in England of the American
 destroyer fleet was sent to Germany
 before it even became generally known in this country.
 With only a scratching of the sur
 face of the mass of evidence in gov
 ernment hands, indications have been
 found that the secret mail system was
 operated both ways between the Unit ed States. Germany and Mexico. SeT-  eral hundred letters have been seized, written in English, German and Span
 ish and some apparently in code.
 They are being translated in the ex-
 pc.tation that they will open the way to full revelations of the alleged spy plot.
 The prisoners are Harry F. Perissi and Irving Bonaparte, both sad to he American born, employed by Ger man electrical company here, and

MerChar, said 10 be a natural. ized citizen from sweden They arc ] charged with conspiring to induce members of the crews of the steam 1 ships Bcrgensfjord and Kristamaf. l ford. both chartered to carry regular ! United States mails, 10 take letters l and packages from this country dcs- l tined for Germany, in violation of the l law prohibiting competition with tue l United States mail, but it was said y ] the government authorities that the | investigation would continue with a
 view to determining whether treason l had been committed.

ORGANIZED PLOT TO
 CHECK REGISTRATION
HEADQUARTERS OF ORGANiZA. TON AT COLUMBUS, OHlO-
 PRINT SHOP RAlDED.

Columbus, Ohio.-A gigantic propa- Sanda plot, with national headquar. ters in this city, organized to induce young men of military age all over the United States to refrain from reg istering for conscription, has been uncovered by state and government secret service agents. according to au- nouncement made by Gov. James Fl. Cox.
 Details of the plot, which was said to have extended into many states, became known when United States marshals raided print shop and ol- fees at Ill 1-2 South High street. where practically all of the propagar- da literature was printed and distrih- uted. It was stated that the plot ap- peared to be we'll financed and well organized.
 Three men already are under arrest in this city in connection with the plot and it was said further arrests would be made both here and in other cities of Ohio and the middle west within the next few days.
 Shortly after noon the raid was made on the print shop headquarters by federal and local officers Harry E. Townsley. alleged to be the pro prietor of the print shop, was arrested in the raid.
 Earlier in the day Ammon Hennacy. who claims to be a graduate of Ohio State University, and Albert Valnis. per. a car builder, were arrested for distributing anticonscription litera. ture.

AMERICAN MISSION
 ARRIVES IN RUSSIA
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SAFE PASS AGE OF COMMISSION WAS
 MADE BY DANIELS.

Washington.-The American mis- sion to Russia, headed by Elihu Root, arrived at a Russian port Announce ment of the safe passage of the com mission was made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
 MT Root bears plenipotentiary powers to act for the United States. Timed to coincide with his arrival, a message from the State Department outlining the war aims of the United States has been cabled to the de fac to government of Russia.
 The statement sets forth clearly what the United States is fighting for and how far it will go The statement is addressed to Russia for two main reasons-to brace the republican gov ernment of that country by assurance of the aid of the great sister republic across the seas and to convey to tho liberals of Russia the knowledge that America is fighting for the same ideals which they demand as par1 of any peace treaty.
  mands-they might be called. Of America, may be divided somewhat as follows:
 First-Crushing of militarism and abandonment of heavy ornaments as a guarantee against junkersm again plunging the world into sea of blood. This is the demand of democracy that it may be made safe against the onslaughts of an imperial clique.
 Second Freedom of the seas and restriction of the use of submarines as a weapon of offense. Crews of mer- chant vessels must be assured safety. In this connection, restrictions upon the use of many implements of land war are also likely. Poison gas, liqu.d flame and similar weapons are regard ed as too inhuman to be allowed to again be employed for the destruction of life.
 Third Guarantees that will hold that small nations and their rights will be respected This includes the re- creation and indemnity of Belgium, Seryia and other little countries Wip- ed out by the Germans, as well as the establishment so far as possible of borders on racial lines. A Jewish re- public in Palestine may he one of the outsrowths of the war, and this is fav- ored by the United States.

COULDN'T LIFT SIX
 MONTHS OLD BABY
Mrs. Hawkins Was So Weak Couldn't Move in Her Bed
 Without Help.
HAD SUFFERED TORTURE
We'll and Strong Again After Taking TanIac and Weighs More Than She Has in Over Eighteen
 Years.

T was down In bed and couldn't raise my head or move without help and now I'm able to do all my house. work, even to my cooking and garden work and weigh more than 1 have in eighteen years and have been taking Tanlac only about four weeks," said Mrs. Dollie Hawkins, 4906 Second ave- nue, South, Birmingham, Ala. recent ly.
 "For years" continued Mrs. Haw- kins, "I suffered with rheumatism and acute indigestion. The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was ter rible. I couldn't lift my six-months-old baby, and had to hire someone to walt on me and do my work. was so nervous the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating. couldn't eat any solid food at all and was in such rundown condition my baby fell off until it was just little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time. No kind of medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time.
 If ever a medicine did wonders, Tanlac did 1t for me and my little ba' by. I felt better in just few days after began taking it. l have taken three bottles and I am not nervous in the least now and my sleep fig fine and rests me. The awful rheumatic pains md misery is all gone. I can eat any. thing I want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is IS fat asa little pig and sits for hours It time on a pallet and plays with out whimper.

Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and watered coffee-the United States Gov ernment is carrying on a crusade to eliminate all three.
 Everyone knows about watered stock. Everyone has seen "blue milk" the combined efforts of COW and the old pump. But not everyone is on his guard against "watered coffee."
 That the United States Government realizes the danger of watered coffee is shown by the specifications for the United States Army supplies. These specifications say plainly:
 Coffee: roasts must be dry
 roasts, no water being permitted
 before, during or after the process
 of roasting."
 Water in coffee is piece of dishon- esty practiced by interruptions coffee roasters. They turn the hose on the coffee while 1t is being roasted, so that 1t won't lose weight, as coffee will, when properly roasted. In roast ing, coffee should lose about 169o of its weight. If it Is watered 1t loses but 4fo. The difference, of course, Is water, for which you pay coffee value.
 This Is adulteration and nothing more. The water-logged coffee is rank and unhealthy. Of course, it is not honest to charge for coffee, and sell coffee beans soaked in water.
 A lot of watered coffee is being sold no doubt right in this town. It is more often met with in the lower priced grades of bulk coffee.
 As coffee Is such an important bev- craze, pure food authorities are ad- vising housewives to use the greatest care in selecting their coffee. The pure food experts say that the best way to avoid watered coffee Is to buy some reliable packaged brand roasted by a reputable coffee roaster as Arbuckle Brothers of New York.-Adv.
