MANY SECRET ARRESTS
OF PLOTTERS AGAINST THE
SELECTIVE SERVICE PLAN
By Samuel NJ. Willia1ss.

WASHINGTON. May si.-Dincuit
but not dangerous problems confront
Federal and local Government au-
thoritles in many parts OF the country
in handling threatened disorder and
opposition 20 registration under the
selective service system. II IL no
longer ofhclally called seloctive draft.
Reports received to-day show that
there Is not the slightest disaffectIon
among the overwhelming mass OF the
people. On the contrary, the new
law is approved and upheld by 90 per
cent. OF the population, particularly
the genuine American type A small
but noisy and disturbing element,
composed OF extreme radicals.
-paclfists and alien blooded agitators,
possessed OF infinite variety OF the
orios and motives. appears to bo
mainly r"sponsible for the opposition
developed.
So systematic Is the stimulation Of
trouble that the same old inSidious
German propaganda is strongly sus-
pected and German gold is again be-
lieved to have been passed out freely.
There Is evidence OF manipulation
similar to that used in promoting the
discredited LaSor Peace Council, for
which Lamar. Martin and Rlntelon
were convicted recently in New York.
MANY ARRESTS IN ANTI-pRAFT
PLOTS KEPT SECRET.
Not all the persons engaged in op-
position TO registration are charged
with being German agents. Some
have more or less conscientious OBJ
jections, while others have been. un-
suspectlngly put forward by crafty
agents working on excltable and
fanatical minds.
The Department OF Justice is now
running down the real instlgators, but
many arrests are kept secret. Some
very direct clues have boon obtained
and close watch set upon movements
ofleaders to prevent further agitation.
The Attorney General to-day sent
explicit instructions 10 his agents in
many cities how TO deal with these
cases. United States marshals have
been ordered TO take extensive pre-
cautions to prevent reasonable meet
ings and to maintain order on NEXT
Tuesday. Police forces In New York
and elsewhere are working In CO.
operation with Federal authority.
Public meetings for discussion OF
the draft are being closely watched.
lnflammatory speeches. designed 10
discourage registration or TO incite
individuals 10 evado the law, are
taken down geographically and re-
ported to the Government In Wash
ington.
England dealt generously at FIRST
with enemy aliens within her bor-
ders. but later on so many spies wero
discovered that numerous German
residents. without distinction Of
wealth or position. were sent to de-
ientlon camps. America Is even
more lenient with Germans here

BRITISH CELEBRATE
VICTORY OF JUTLAND
Services on First Anniversary of the
Sea Battle With the German
Fleet.

LONDON, May 31.-England to-day
celebrated the first anniversary of
the battle OF Jutland. Here in Lon
don there were memorial services
largely attended by officials and navy
officers and men.
Dispatches from Berlin said the
observance there was in the form OF
IL great benefit for the relief OF +he
families Of submarine crews, held In
the Relchstag building, with all Gov
ernment officials present.
The high seas fleets OF England and
Germany met for tho first-and to
date, the only time-in the naval bat
tie OF May 81. 1916, in the skagerrak.
The losses In this greatest OF all
sea battles totalled: British, three
battle cruisers three cruisers, eight
destroyers and two other ships-il5,-
900 tons in all Germany, eighteen
warships OF total Of 10000 tons
On the basis OF the actual tonnage
destroyed. Germany claims a victory
in this battle. The British conten-
! ton OF victory is based on tho fact
that the German high seas fleet
emerged in a surprise attack, was
met by the British cruiser squadron
and when the high seas fleet came
up was forced back to it's harbor and
! the protection OF mine felds. from
which It has not since dared 10
emerge.

STOLEN CAR FOUND
AND RECOVERED BY
SHERIFF VAN PELT

A couple of weeks ago, Miss Wilker-
son, residing in New Cit section, re-
ported that her automobile had been
s.olen from in front of the Isis
theatre, and she asked the police and
the count officers to endeavor and
recover til. car. Nothing was heard
from it, however, until yesterday,
when Deputy Lowery, from Muscogee,
arrived in the city, bringing man and
AUTO. The mans name is Lee Jordan,
and he was caught in Baldwin county.
He admitted having driven off the car,
it is said.
Sheriff Van Pelt personally returned
the car to the loser last evening, and
received the ELUSIVE thanks of the
lady.
It seems that, soon after the re-
ported theft was published in The
Journal, Deputy Lowery caught sight
of a car, the driver of which acted
in a decidedly suspicious manner.
Knowing from the story in his paper
that car had been stolen, he obtained
the lumber of the engine of the stolen
car and compared it with that OBJ
tanned from a local dealer. The COM
parison was perfect, and the arrest
of Jordan, who is white man, was
the direct result.

She WaSn'f Tired This Time

dant; the one girl had cried the week
before because she must leave her TO
so to her own happy new home. Now
the boys were ready to marry also.
Then she and her husband would be
left alone to live by themselves. She
dreaded II. She felt as though her ex-
cuse for being his wife was taken away
from her, and as though from now on
she might not be wanted. In the years
past James Wells never had given any
sign that he felt her essential to his
life. He was quiet man usually,
though irritable at times. But she had
known that same irritation when she.
too. worked in the factory. and she
could excuse 1t. Modern business life,
with its never ending turmoil OF pet
ty detail does not make quiet nerves.
But she had done her best to train his
children to more even tempers. She
had succeeded also in training herself,
since marrying, TO habitual composure.
The years had been happy years. II
the children had been younger there
would still be happy years for her She
wished that they had not grown so
fast. that there had been more of them
anything to give her an excuse for
being happy. She also wished that
they had not thought of marrying
NAoNSA A'Si u Tic dsSuI-
ed her that he knew from seeing her
and his father that marriage need not
be failure. and this had encouraged
him TO make the plunge early. She
laughed gently at the hattery, but she
sighed when Bert had bounced out with
a tennis racket TO meet his beloved
Ethel. Not a failure?
No. 1t wasn't that. But she hunted
for metaphor to fit her case And
finally she thought OF a candle-a can
die burned to the socket. 1t has not
been a failure, far from it. But its
work is over and there is not more
