BOY SCOUTS MAY BE
CALLED TO GUARD DUTY
Their Services Deemed Valuable
in the Work of Coast
Defense

Boy Scouts more than fifteen years of age
may be called to active duty within a few
days to assist the coast defense force.
There are 450O Boy Scouts in Philadelphia
and about 250,000 in the country. One-third
of the Philadelphia Scouts will be avail
able for service.
w. s. Cowing, scout executive, will have
control Of the Philadelphia Scouts together
with about 5000 other boys in the Fourth
naval district These lads will assist the
coast patrol guards from Barnegat Inlet
TO Assateague Md, a distance of more than
sixty miles
The training that the Boy Scouts receive
has made them proficient in signaling and
observation and outdoor life. 1t is eX-
pected that their services will be particu-
larly valuable in protecting the coast of
the country. The work that is to be car
ried on by the boys will be done In con-
junction with the coast guard and not by
cooperating directly with. the Navy De-
partment.
According to T.. Urner Goodman field
commissioner, officials of the Boy Scouts
believe the Government will accept the
services Of the boys, The scouts will not be
permitted to take any active part in mill
tary operations, he said.

GERMAN SUSPECTS, MEN
AND WOMEN, ARRESTED
WASHINGTON. April

The Government roundup of German
plOttcrs aud all enemies of the Republic ie
being pushed vigorously
With scores already arrested or being
run down countless other arrests will be
made within the next few days
The magnitude of this plotters' hunt can
be imagined when it is remembered that the
statement recently was made on the floor
of the Senate that 100000 German spies, to-
gether with women accomplices, were plant
ing their intrigues in every section of the
country
But while the chase is hot, and will con-
tinue to be relentlessly carried on against
any aliens suspected of aifordng aid aud
comfort to the nations enemies. officials
again today repeated their declaration that
withdrawing aliens need have no ap-
prehenson that they will be molested
Chief interest at th1 time Centers on
men who have long been trailed and card
ndeXed because of their associations with
the plotters' rings established in various
sections of the country by Captains Won
Papen and Boy-Ed
While Department of Justice and secret
service agents work in deepest secrecy,
fusing for obvious reasons to disclose even
facts of arrests That have been made. it is
taken for granted that another chief OBJ
joctive in the hunt is to keep wartime
watch on the thousands of German rcserv-
lists here who were unable to answer the
call to coors that sounded in 1914.
It is know positively today that it has
been from these men-chiety reserVsts Of
Younger years-that Boy-l;d and Won Papen
drew material for their work of intrigue
against this Government.
While it is known by officials that many
of these men refused to do the bidding OF
Germanys spy masters in America. it is
known that many did fall before the
temptation of gold and promises of high
reward in the event of war between the two
countries.
Another NEST of plotters." it is taken for
granted, was Germany's consular service In
America. Such aliens as had close connec-
tions with the kaisers consular agents and
who cannot satisfactorily explain those
connections are to be arrested at the first
suspicious action.

INDIAN REVOLT PLOTTER
TO BE ARRAIGNED TODAY

CHICAGO, April 7.--Gustav -. Jacobsen
wealthy Chicago realty man, is to he ar
ragned today before the United States
Commission, accused OF having conspired
to start revolution against British rule
in India Jacobsen was one of the paci-
fists who went to Washington for the war
session of Congress. lie was formerly a
director in the American Embargo Confer
ence. Arrested last night, he was released
on $4,000 bail.
According to Hinton 6. Clabaugh, special
agent of the Department of Justice, the
complaint alleges that Jacobsen in May
1915, with Albert Wende. II. l.. Gupta
Jodh Singh, Dhirendra Nath Sen and a
man known as Sterneck, conspired to start
revolt in India. thus violating American
neutrality laws. 1t is charged that in June
1915, the alleged conspirators sent George
Paul Boehm and Singh to India in further
ance of the plot.
II was reported that arrests had been
made in connection with this case All
'labaugh would say was: prisoners held
lncommunicado in this or other cases are
known only to myself and a few trusted
agents"
When arrested Jacobsen refused to make
a statement. Boehm was recently arrested
in Calcutta. 1t was rumored that the AL
legged conspiracy was connected with the
charge that Wolf Won Igel a member of
Count Won Bernstorffs staff, furnished
$4,000 to start the revolt in India
Clabaugh would not confirm this.
