'DRAGNET FOR PLOTTERS
Sixty Alleged Ringleaders in Ger
man Plots Ordered-Bail to be Re-
fused-Other Arrests to Follow

| Washington, April THE arrest
of 60 alleged ringleaders in German
plots, conspiracies and Vaccinations
| in the United States was ordered yes
terday by Acknowledgement Gregory
Immediately after President Wilson
had signed the war resolution.
Every man whose arrest was or
dered is a German citizen, is known
by the Department of Justice, it was
authoritatively said, to have partlc.
pated actively in German intrigues III
this country, and is regarded as a
dangerous person to be at large.
Bail to be Refused
Bail will De refused in each case,
it was said, and the entire group will
be locked up, unless there is change
IN present plans, for the duration OF
the war.
Indications are that a number OF
other arrests will be ordered within
the next few days.
The men are placed in three groups:
Those who have been convicted OF
violation of American neutrality In
furthering German plots of various
sorts, and are at liberty under bond
awaiting the, action of higher courts;
those who have been indicted Tor + ed.
eral grand juries for similar offenses.
and are at liberty under bond walt
ing trial, and persons neither indicted
nor convicted, but whose activities
have been under long surveillance by
the Secret Service or the departments
Bureau of Investigation.
No Warrant Needed
For the first time in more than a
century arrests of alien enemies un.
der the acknowledgements orders
will be made without reference to tho
courts or obtaining warrants. The
President is empowered to adopt this
course in time Of war under an &C!
of Congress passed in 1913 and not
invoked since the war with Great
Britain in 1912.
The department has under strict
surveillance thousands of German re,
servists resident in the United States
who are suspected Of having been
connected with plots already brought
to light, with plots abandoned before
perfection, or who have been active
in German propaganda or because OF
their accentuated leanings toward the
German Government are. regarded as
likely to work against the interests
of the United States during the war.
How many German reservlsts arc
residents CT the United States, a
high official said, has never been ac'
curately determined and is largely a
matter of conjecture. This officials
belief was that the number ranged
between 100000 and 100000. The
great majority, it was said, are men
in middle life or beyond, or men who
have been in this country for so many
years that their sympathies in the
present struggle are considered virtu
ally as having been transplanted 10
the United States.

Make Saving, Rather Than Spending
Your Social Standard.

Make Saving, Rather Than Spending,
Your Social Standard.
"For partial immediate relief, every
individual and community should con-
slider earnestly the matter Of food
conservation and the limitation of
waste. AS nation we seem to have
disdain of economizing. In many
homes there is strong feeling that
it is only decent to provide more
food than will be eaten and that it
is demeaning to reckon closely. The
experts of the Department of .Agri-
culture report to me that the dietary
studies made by them point to an
annual food waste Of about S1OO-
100000. Of course, the waste in
families of very limited means is
slight, but in the families of mode
rate and ample means the waste is
considerable. Even if the estimate
were reduced by half, the waste would
still be enormous.
'The food waste in the household,
the experts assert, results in large
measure from bad preparation and
bad cooking, from improper care and
handling. and. in well-to-do families,
from serving an undue number of
courses and an over-abundant supply
and failing to save and utilize the
food not consumed. AS an instance OF
improper handling, it is discovered
that in the preparation of potatoes
20 per cent of the edible portion II
may cases is discarded" Secretar!
of Agriculture, March 3, 1917.
Food is wasted when we eat more
food than our bodies need for growth
and repair and to supply energy fol
our work. Overeating tends to poo
health and fat instead of Drawn
makes US sluggish and indolent in
stead of energetic and resourcefu!
Eat enough and no more. Eat TO
physical and mental efficiency.
