jury Causes Arrest
Captured as a Suspect

George Born, a lieutenant Of Chlans,
who has done considerable spying in
England since the war started under
the cloak Of American citizenship, was
held yesterday for the Federal Grand
Jury on a technical charge of swearing
falsely before the American Consul at
Hull, England
Born practically has been prisoner
Of United States Secret Service agents
for several days preceding his arraign-
ment yesterday before United States
Commissioner Hitchcock.
All that took place at the hearing
was the formal reading of the technical
complaint by Commissioner Hitchcock.
the waving of an examination by the
prisoner. and the plea for high bail by
Assistant United States Attorney Knox.
II is understood that Born, VINO was
arrested about ten days ago in Buff
falo. has made detailed confession
TO Albert G.. Adams, the special Secret
Service agent. who arrested him.
limitations are that other arrests OF
German spies IN this country and IN
England would result from the confer
ences that have been held daily. for
more than a week, between Born and
the United States officials.
Clever German Spy
Born. who is about thirty-four years
old. tall. blond and well set. is one Of
the cleverest agents that Germany mas
had working for her, according TO q
United States official. He came here
1--WE wears ago. and then went 10
Wilkes Barre. Penn. Shortly after
ward he took cut first citizenship pa
pers there. With his wife-whether
he married her here or in Germany
could not be learned last nlght-he
lived quietly until the war started.
Then Born came 20 New York and
reported to Captain Won Papen, the
military attache Of the German En-
bassy. who ordered him to report TO
Captain Boyd, the naval attache OF
the German Embassy. the active head
Of the German spy system here.
Born's English being excellent, Boy
Ed chose him TO do spy work in Eng
land-a task that has resulted in the
death Of many Germans. He went to
England posing as an American citizen
of Wilkes Barre, Penn.
In November, 1915, Born. who had
been in England some little time, was
taken into custody in Hull, England, as
a suspect. But he succeeded in con
vincing Mr. Hathaway. the American
Consul at that point, that he was a
bona fide American citizen. Born made
affidavit that he was born at Havre,
France. on July 10. 1885. of American
parents. and was brought 10 the United
States before he was one year OF age
and had lived in this country all his
life
Lied TO Save Life

Born admits. were false. lie has ad

Plan to Extend Credits

Ottawa. Ont, April 3.-While no
official reference by any member of
the Canadian government to the i'm
pending entry of the United States
into the war is expected before final
action of Congress. the address OF
President Wilson was received with
enthusiasm in all circles in the capital

In official circles the utmost salts
faction is evident over the passages
in the Presidents address referring to
generous extension of credits to the
Allies and non-interruption of the flow
of munitions across the Atlantic:
The attitude of President Wilson
b.d been so accurately forecasted IN
news dispatches since the call Of the

DEATH TOLL GROWING
1000 Killed In Halifax Blast By
Latest Estimates.
snowdrifts Three Feet Deep Add to
Difficulty of Relief Work-City
Still Dazed.

Halifax, Dec. 1o.-The admir-
atty court to determine RESPONSE
bIity for the collision Of the
vessels that caused the explosion
will open its hearings today. The
survivors of the Norwegian
steamer. limo, which rammed the
Mont Blanc, laden with munitions,
have been arrested and Captain
Lamedoc: Pilot Mackay of the
munitions ship also were or
dered detained as witnesses.
Halifax, N. S., Dec. 10.-A new es.
innate by the superintendent of
morgues, whose duty it is to assemble
and expose for Identification, If pos.
sible, the bodies of those who persisted
by shock or fire when the ammunition
ship Mont Blanc blew up in the har-
Dor here, places the number Of dead
at 1000.
1000 Bodies Recovered
His estimate that startled even
those who had lived through the last
few days Of horror was based upon
the records of his district assistants,
who reported a total of 1000 bodies
recovered. They have figured on a
certain number for prescribed area.
There appears to be no other way of
determining the loss. Hundreds, per-
haps thousands, of bodies have been
consumed by the flames and in scores
of cases not only whole families but
whole neighborhoods have been wiped
out and the names of all these dead
may never be known.
Dredging parties working under d.
rection of naval authorities dragged
ashore 200 bodies of sailors, soldiers
and laborers recovered from the bot
tom of the harbor. Another searching
squad reported having found 40 bodies
in the hulk of the Norwegian steamer
limo which collided with the Mont
Blanc.
10000 Persons Destitute.
But the outstanding fact that has
been faced by the local authorities
with courage that challenges the adj
miration of their kinsmen from south
Of the border, is that 10000 persons
are destitute and Of the number per-
haps one out Of seven is suffering
from injuries, which in many cases
are bound to prove fatal.
Through roads three feet deep in
snow, a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press yesterday went over a
strip of Halifax more utterly demol-
ished than any of Belgium or France.
The ruin is complete.

In Annual Report Secretary Tells
Of Bio Pre- ::i";ns Met and
Solved.
READY FOR ALL DUTIES
Department Will Need Over Billion
Dollars In Next Year For
Rigorous Prosecution
Of War.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The annual
report of Secretary of the Navy Dan.
iels, just made public, makes pride in
the achievements of the navy since
the United States entered the war, its
keynote.
Nothing of Value to Foe.
The report is carefully worded, so
that no bit of information that nigh:
be Of benefit to the enemy may be
communicated by it. The report Of
the general board of the navy, which
has been charged with seeking solu
tons to the submarine menace and
other grave problems, is suppressed
in its entirety. Only the general
questions considered by the board
are given. In the secretary's report
a few facts come to light that have
not before been printed, but none is
Of great Importance.
Daniels Sums up Report.
Secretary Daniels himself sums up
the report in these words:
In the navy we have prepared for
and have met the duties of the pres
onfdcnt we will be able to meet any
call for greater duties, for more eX.
acting responsibilities. The best way
to secure enduring peace is to pre-
,rre increasingly, night and day, for
he winning Of the war, whether it
be long or short. This we have done !:
this we are doing; this we will con.
tinue to do"
Fig Problems Met.
Problems that have arisen and
have been net since the declaration
of war with Germany are listed by
Secretary Daniels as follows:
Preparing for impending and &C
tual war
Tie cO-ordinating of our efforts.
The carrying on of O fensive opera
lions against opponents.
Providing safe passage for ships
transporting army across the ocean.
Maintaining available naval forces
n a state of readiness for battle.
Providing additional fighting units
necessary to bring the war to a sue
tessful conclusion.
training peTSOuHel u HAL Iuc ueW
wits of the navy and to assist in
manning the merchant marine.
S:nce the beginning of the war 745
vessels have been commissioned and
manned.
Too Many Volunteers.
The navy actually was embarrassed
in the early days of the war by the
eagerness with which young America
responded to the call for naval re-
cruits.
"'rhe navy's efforts at recruiting
were so successful that 1t was diff
ficult with the then facilities to take
care of the flood of volunteers" the
secretary says.
Estimates for Coming Year.
Secretary Daniels estimates that the
total expenditures for naval activi.
ties during the next fiscal year at
S1,039,65O,502.S4. All appropriations
not essential to the rigorous prosecu-
tiol of the war are excluded from
this estimate.
