TEUT0N TREACHERY
Came Very Near Our Florida Boys
Now Training in the
Macon Camp

Tampa, Sept. PA special to the
Tribune from Macon says:
"What might develop into one Of
the most malicious acts of German in
trigue undertaken in some time came
to light Saturday night when the
members of the headquarters COM
pany of the 122d Infantry (Second
Georgia) found the sausage served
them had ground glass distributed
freely in every link. AS soon as sew
eral members of the company found
the ground glass an investigation was
begun and it was found that it was in
every link which had been cooked. A
sausage expert from the packing
company from which the headquar-
ters company had bought the meat
was sent for and, according to those
present, could not account for the
presence of the glass except that it
was there by intention. His sugges-
tion was that some German element
was behind the act. A peculiar fact
was that the glass could not be de-
tected except after the sausage was
cooled. The meat turned brown and
the glass sparkled. Every link in the
bucket which was cooked was found
to have glass. The doctors of the
Second Georgia Immediately took
charge of the men of the company
and administered the proper medi-
cines in case the glass took effect in
ternally.

INCLEMENT WEATHER
FOR SCHOOL OPENING

For the first time in years, the
Ocala schools opened this morning
mmnKith bad weather. An extraordinary
rain set in little after daylight and
kept up until past the hour for the
schools to open.
Notwithstanding, the teachers and
most of the students wended THEN
way to the school building. Most of
the patrons who had autoes helped
their less fortunate neighbors, and
many hardy boys and girls took the
weather, so while the class rooms
were not as full as usual, the attend
ance was very good.
The exercises at the high school
were set for $50, but the weather
made it impossible for them to begin
at that time. However, at 8:45,
teachers and scholars assembled in
the study hall and the 1917 term be-
: gan.
Present beside Principal Cassels
his faculty and the students were a
few patrons who braved the weather
Mrs. William Hooker, the lady mem
Der of the school board, Revs. J. R
Herndon and Bunyan Stephens and
the inevitable Star reporter.
With Miss Margaret Little at the
piano, the school sang "Onward
Christian Soldiers" after which Mr.
Herndon read scripture lesson and
Mr.. Stephens offered a brief prayer
Short but interesting talks were
made by Messrs. Herndon, Stephens
and Mrs. Hooker. Principal Cassels
then outlined his hopes and plans fol
the seasons work, after which the
scholars dispersed to the variou:
class rooms to receive instruction
from their teachers about their books
and their studies which will begin to
morrow.

A LONG LIST OF OFFENSES

Washington, Sept. 23-Further dis
closures of far-reaching German pro-
paganda, intrigues and plots in this
country prior to the diplomatic break
with Germany were made yesterday
by the committee on public informa-
ton. A bulletin styled "oficial ex-
pose" the committee quotes numer-
Gus letters and extracts from letters
seized by the department of justice in
April, 1916, in raid upon the New
York Office of Wolfe Won Igel. Won
Igel, in carrying on his manifold pro-
German and anti-American activities,
the documents show, was in contsant
touch with the German embassy and
with Count Won Bernstorff, then the
German ambassador to the United
States.
''In the form of letters, kilograms,
notations, checks, receipts, ledgers,
cash books, cipher codes, list of spies
and other memoranda and records" /"
the committee says, "we found indi-
cations-in some instances of the
vaguest nature, in some of the most
dawning conclusiveness-that the
German imperial government through
its representatives in a then friendly
nation was concerned with:
''Violation of the laws of the Unit
ed States. Destruction of lives and
property on merchant vessels on the
high seas
"Irish revolutionary plots against
Great Britain.
"Fomenting ill-feeling against the
United States in Mexico
"Subordination of American writer's
and lecturers.
Financing of propaganda.

der the guise of commercial investi-
cation bureau
"Subsidizing of bureau for the
purpose of stirring up labc~ troubles

lated activities"

HOLLAND A WAY STATION

at has long been an open secret
that Holland is merely way station
for shipments of contraband into
Germany. Here is official confrma-
ton from the Igel records, which
would seem to indicate a suspicious
and confidential relation between the
Holland commission and the German
diplomatic officials accredited to this
country or possibly belief by the
Germany that they could not success
fully get their munitions to their own
country. The message in code with
interlinear translation is entered as
'a-2493' and headed German Embas-
sy, Washington, d. c., April 8, 1916.
1t runs as follows:
