war is over It is not unlikely that
the feet created by the present emer-

vessels coal will move North to Min

TRIES TO ENLIST,
IS ARRESTED AS
GERMAN AGENT

NEW YORK, Oct. 1e.-Department
OF Justice agents today are making n
thorough probe OF the recent activ-
tiles OF a man giving his name as VIII
liam ]. Dunbar when he attempted to
enlist yesterday in the United States
army and navy.
He Is said to have served for q time
as an ensign on a submarine chaser
off the Atlantic coast, and suspicious
he aroused during that period are
said to have led to his arrest when
he sought to enlist. He is held at
Ellis Island.
The Federal authorities are OF the
opinion that the arrest Is one OF the
most important made since the begin
ming OF the war. The specific charge
against him is that he conspired 'to
obtain information against the United
States Government"
That he is an agent OF the German
government and has been spending
much time recently near a great naval
base on the Atlantic coast is the in
formation that has been furnished au-
thorities from reliable sources.
