several Of them. He states that the

that he had purchased ticket at

SUSPECT HELD

PENDING PROBE
GaliClan With Pictures Of NOlables and
Suspicious Looking Documents Held
asSusgect as Stacker or Spy

Whether or not NylSyfor Howrylasz
is Stacker or simply an allen, or
possibly spy, is the question that is
concerning the officials OF Grady
county and the local exemption board.
Until the question is settled, he will
remain in the sherff's custody where
he was placed yesterday afternoon
by Deputy Bob Castleman who arrest
ed his man at Amber
This Howrylasz party is an Aus
trian if evidence taken from his per-
son is true His registration srd
shows that he was registered for the
draft in Alleghaney, Penn, and at this
time Chairman Durbin Of the local
board has taken the matter up with
the Aleghaney board to ascertain
whether or not the Austrian has been
exempted and the entire status Of his
case. Howryasz claims that he was
exempted on account of an injured
knee He talks very little English;
that is to say, he spoke very little
English to the officials here, but the
impression is that he could under
stand as well as handle considerably
more English than he would have you
believe.
The best information is to the ef-
feet that he has been in this country
some three years, the greater part Of
which he has spent in New York. He
has also lived in Pennsylvania, where
he claims to have been a coal miner
His home address seems to be Taren-

HOW "TANK" APPEARS TO HIM.
British War Machines Perform Some
Marvellous Feats, According to One
= Enthusiastic AdmIrer.

One Of the enthusiastic admirers OF
the British "tank" recently gave his
Impressions Of the car In action. He
said in letter to his friends:
1.-THE tanks are simply wonderful.
They can do up prisoners In bundles
like strawbinders, and, In addition,
have an adaptation Of a perfectng
printing press which enables them to
catch up the Huns, fold, count and de-
liver them In quires, every thirteenth
man being thrown out little further
than the others. The cars In question
can chew up barbed wire and turn 1t
into munitions. As they run they slash
their tails and clear away trees,
houses, howitzers and everything else
In the vicinity. They turn on their
backs, catch live shells with their cat
erpillar feet, and can easily be adapted
as submarines; indeed, most OF them
cross the channel In this guise. They
loop-the-loop, travel forwards, back
wards, sideways, not only with equal
speed, but at the same time. The tanks
can do anything and everything; In
fact, If there is anything that can't be
done, the tanks can do It."
