DR.. w. A. Smith, veterinary
'''i; sSfss5ii d " !: :;'sI,
practice throughout the United
States, arrived here Monday and
will be here until Tuesday inext
week.
DR.. Smith makes a speciality of
extracting faulty and trouble
some teeth from horses and of
treating diseases necessitating
operations. He states that no
matter how hard the teeth are to
extract he will remove them.
According to DR.. Smith, horses
cut 81 teeth up TO the time they
are . years old, and from "a to 3
years they cut and shed SO teeth.
If these teeth don't come through
properly, they cause humps on
upper or lower jaw, a condition
which people usually call blind
teeth, big head or running sores.
These diseased teeth commonly
cause a discharge at the nose
which is mistaken for distcmper
and glanders.
After remaining here until next
Tuesday, DR.. Smith will go to
Columbus, staying there We'd
nesday and Thursday.

Gle Sans army of spy catchers were
seeking the center of the network of
plots. Evidence discovered in con-
nectiOn with the Eddystone eXp'O-
sion, while closely guarded, is known
to have shown that the disaster was
engineered from a distance by well
organized conspiracy. Department OF
Justice agents refuse to discuss their
discoveries, but it was stated that they
have found the trail that they nope
will lead to the arrest of the head ol
the spy organization.
In this connection it was stated
that the continued bomb plots and IN
cendiary fires, with their consequent
losses of life, will proba bly, lead TO the
fixing of death penalty for such
crimes. Under the presidents war
time authority he would be able to
| impose the death penalty on enemy
aliens plotting or consummating such
crimes. A simple proclamation would
inaugurate capital punishment.
The decision Of the spy catchers
that the spy activities are centralized
and under efficient control. led to the
revival Of reports that German gov
ernment official or army officer was IN
the United States in disguise, direct
ing the plotters. Capt. Hans Won Pa
pen. the German military attache who
was withdrawn from this country a

ported to be in the United States Sc

declared, but the secret agents wer'

to the construction of the big fleet
were in full swing.
Contracts have been let with the
builders, arrangements have been
completed for the supply Of standard

has been settled at least partially, and
unless there is an unforeseen hitch by
October the shipyards on the Atlantic
and Pacific will be turning out the
new vessels at the rate OF two OF

shipping concerns.
The great feet will fly the Amer
can flag and each vessel sailing to

builders will be encouraged to complete
the vessels speedily and plans have
been made to make partial payment:
of vesscrs where necessary from
month to month.
