quarantine WILL" he added.
Officials of the military police
refused to talk of the progress
made in their efforts to connect
German money and Seattle vice,
but there seems little doubt but
what they have successfully traced
the relation of German agents to
Seattle's underworld and that be-
fore long arrests will be made
which will lay bare a concerted
plot to debauch the soldiers of the
national army who visit the city
and ruin them morally and physi-
cally.
Meanwhile every power in the
hands of the military police, the
secret service and the department
of justice is being turned to keep
the camp and its environs clean
and almost daily undesirables are
warned to leave and others who
have flocked here like birds of
prey are arrested.
