Scene Of Utter DesOlatiOn Left
by Germans Abandoning
Villages

Washington, April 7.--Never before
in the history of the world has there
been such destruction, either by victor
ious or vanquished armies as that
wrought by the retrating Germans in
the 100 miles of French territory they
have just evacuated, Amba ssador Sharp
cabled the state department today.
Reports that have been published re-
garding the destruction visited by the
Kaiser's hordes as they dropped back
before British and French armies, 'have
in no way been exaggerated, Sharp
said.
The dispatch said:
"In the larger towns of Roye and
Ham, and particularly in the attractive
and thriving town of Charny, destruc-
tion was complete.
SIN many of the villages scarcely a
house remained with roof intact.
Throughout the recovered territory
there reigns q scene of deeolation. Ger
man military operations might possibly
excuse destruction in the blowing up
of bridge, telegraphic and telephone
connections, railway lines and the block

protected the German retreat, but towns
were totally destroyed for no apparent
military reason.

Negroes In South Told They

Washington. April THE govern
ment roundup of German plotters and
all enemies of the republic is in full
blast today.
With scores already arrested or being
run down, countless other arrests will
be made within the next few days.
The enormity of this plotters hunt can
be imagined when it is remembered that
the statement recently was made on the
floor of the senate that 100000 German
spies had woven their intrigues in ev-
cry section of the country.
While the chase is hot and will con
tinue to me relentlessly carried on
against any alien suspected of afford
ing aid and comfort TO the nation 5 en-
omies, officials again today repeated
their declaration that "well behaving" "
aliens need have no apprehension that
they will be molested.
Chief interest at this time centers on
men who have long been trailed and
card indexed because of their associa'
tions with the plotters ring established
in various sections of the country by
Captains Won Papen and Boy-ed.
/ While department of justice aHa~se
cret service agents work in deepest Sc
crecy, refusing for obvious reasons tc
disclose even facts of arrests that have
I been made it is taken for granted that
another chief object in the hunt is tC
keep war time watch on the bounds OF
German reservists here who we're unable
to answer the call to the eolors that
sounded in 1914.
4 1t is known positively today that il
has been from these men-chiefly re
servists of younger years-that Boy yet
and Won Papen drew material for theil
work of spying and intrigue against this
government.
# While it is known by officials that
many of these men refused to do thu
bidding of Germany's spy masters il
America, many did fall before the temp
tation of gold and promises of high re
!. ward in the event of war between thu
two countries.

RAIDERS
ON ATLANTIC COAST
Rumored Raiders Are Seen
OFF Coast at Several
Points

Washington, April THE navy de-
partment learned today of strange
craft off Nantucket Eight.
The department would not give out
the time the vessel was seen or from
what sources the department received
its information.
"Her nationality is not as yet
known" it was officially stated.
That Germany may stage something
spectacular against America within the
next few days-such as a repetition of
the U-53 visit--was the confident be-
lief Of some officials today.
The navy, however, can be said to be
on the full lookout for just such moves.
Everything is being done to check up
on Germany's moves. Lighthouses and
light ships have been modified with
the navy and reported TO report any
suspicious incidents along The coasts.
The Nantucket shoals hight reported
to the navy that vessel had passed
there headed westward. The depart
ment explained that the report meant
that the light keeper did not recognize

buildings at Belmont Park race track

Local fire apparatus was inadequate
and August Belmont, owner of the
property, appealed to New York fire
