HELD AS SPIES OF GERMANY
Men Must Answer Charge of Sending
Advice as to u. S. Fleet.

New York, June 5.-United States
Commissioner Hitchcock, in holding in
high bail three men arrested in an al
legde conspiracy to transmit military
and naval information to Germany,
said he understood they were connect
ed with the sending to Berlin of adj
vices regarding the secret departure
of the American destroyers to Eng
land.
In holding two of the men in $4,000
bail and one in $4,000, Commissioner
Hitchcock said: "In view Of the fact
that news of the departure of Ameri-
can destroyers reached Berlin four
days before they arrived in England,
and it is my understanding that the
government considers the present
matter part and parcel of that case, |
do not consider the bail is high"

Hypochondria was the topic that
was being discussed at social affair,
says the Philadelphia Press, when Sen
ator William A. Smith of Michigan re-
called the following story:
woman who was perfectly well,
but imagined she had at least dozen
different diseases, called one day to
consult an eminent specialist.
II think understand your case thor
oughly, madam" said the doctor as the
patient began TO tell the story of her
life. "Just sit quite still moment
and let me look at YOU"
The patient complied and after
studying her intently for little while
the physician glanced at his watch.
There is nothing the matter with
you, madam" finally said the doctor.
"You haven't the slightest indication
of fever, and your heart beat Is per-
fectly normal"
why, how do you know, doctorT'
exclaimed the patient in surprise.

For the holidays there are some
things that are always the order OF
the day, certain gifts that bloom per-
ennialiy, like the evergreens and holly
that crown the glory of the passing
year at Christmas time. Among them
aprons of pretty material. small
enough to be dainty, that are made
for serving and sewing. The serving
aprons do more than dress up the
morning or afternoon frock in which
the hostess or her aids, serve her
guests, for they express pleasure In
serving. The little sewing aprons are
a convenience and protection. Their
prettiness makes them JOY.
The shops are showing many of
these little belongings for home wear
this year. They are made of all the
fine, sheer cotton goods that are used
for lingerie or midsummer dresses,

TROOPS AT 90 MUCH A MAN
Soldiers Furnished British Government
by British States at Beginning
Of Revolutionary War.

At the beginning of the Revolution
treaties with several of the German
states by which they were to furnish
troops at so much a man TO assist In
subjugatlng the Americans. Applica-
lions for assistance made to Russia
and Holland were rejected, but several
of the German states responded favor
ably. There was no united Germany
or imperial government, no kaiser with
autocratic power, but each independ-
ent state had separate government.
An English historian says:
"Finding it difficult or impossible to
obtain the necessary recruits ut home.
and that the existing English and Irish
regiments embarked with such reluc-
lance that II was necessary to keep
n guard upon the transports to keep
them from deserving by wholesale, the
ministry applied to Russia, the states
general (Holland), and finally to sew
eral OF the German states for merce-
naries. The infamy of filling up the
British armament was reserved for the
princes of three or four petty German
states" Contracts were made with the
rulers of seven German states under
which an aggregate of thirty thousand
troops were furnished at so much a
head, cash down. and an annual sum
to the rulers Of the different states fur
nishing them.
1.-THE subsidies" says the English
historian, "were to be continued for
one full year at least after the war
ended and the troops had returned to
their homes" The troops thus hired
out by German rulers TO fight against
Americans were not raised easily The
American historian Bancroft says:
''The whole number of men fur
nished In the war by Brunswick was
equal to one-twenty-seventh part OF its
total population; by the landgrave of
Hesse, to one out OF every twenty of
his subjects, or one in four of the able
bodied men, a proportionate conscrip-
ton In 1776 would have shipped to
America from England and Wales
alone an army OF more than 100000
men. Soldiers were impressed from
the pillow, the workshop, the highway !;
no man was safe from the inferior

later brought his attention to cigar

the same rejection, That amt It,"
His captain stood within hearing,
