NIGHT SCHOOL.

Active steps VIII be taken by the
Chamber of Commerce to promote the
proposition of establishing a night
school at the local high school, it was
announced Tuesday following a meet
ing of the educational division of the
organization, held at the Chamber of
Commerce headquarters.
AS has already been announced, it
is planned to conduct courses in this
school that will give the student an
opportunity to gain knowledge along
many different lines. Stenography,
telegraphy, business arithmetic and
practically a thorough course in busi-
ness training will be offered at the
school and the Chamber of Commerce
is endeavoring to interest young men
and women in attending this school.
The opinion was expressed at the
meeting Tuesday that if the opportun;-
ties of the school were explained to
them there is little doubt but that
many clerks and other young men
and women would gladly avail them
selves of an opportunity to complete
their education and increase their
earning capacity through the medium
of the night school,
Persons desiring to acuuaint them
selves with the plans of the school or
to enroll as students should notify the
Chamber of Commerce or Supt. Zemer.

SPY HUNT PRESSED
IN U. s. DEPARTMENTS
Vigilance Redoubled as Result
of Disclosures of Enemy
Activities
WASHINGTON, Dec. IS.


Redoubled vigilance against German
spies among the Government depart
ments at Washington has resulted from
the recent disclosures OF activities of
enemy agents. The arrest of Il. c.
Keyser on his attempt to enter public
building on a pass not his own. together
with other recent arrests concerning
which there have been no announce
ments, has resulted in a thorough check
ing up of identities of individuals who
move freely among Government offices,
For some months the Government has
quietly been wedding out undesirable
employees. Virtually every department
of the Government has dismissed en-
p'oyes suspected of using their right
Of access to Government offices to obtain
information of value to the enemy. In
some cases direct evidence has been pro-
cured that some of these employees were
acting as spies,
The task is proving a difficult one. as
there are SO many thousands of men
and women employed in the depart
ments. Also. it has been necessary to
employ hundreds of new clerks, some
OF whom live in Washington and are
known and others who come from out
Of town and are strangers to those they
work for and with.
