harmed-crew At Ellis Island.

NEW YORK. April s.-The crews
from twenty-seven German merchant
men in New York harbor now in pos
session OF the United States Govern

of examination prescribed for all
aliens who enter this country at Ellis
Island. The men,, numbering 1.215

night in the big dormitories of the
immigration bureau.
Nearly all the men are naval re-
servists. and realizing that their de-
tention is a necessary precaution of
war. they have submitted without re-
sentiment.
The exterior and the furnishings OF
the German ships appear to. be in
excellent condition. II Is reported
that the Yaterland. the queen Of the
feet. has been damaged less than any
of the vessels seized by the Govern
ment here, and that her machinery
and engines are virtually ready for

LOYAL NEGROES FOIL
PLANS OF GERMANS
Efforts to Cause Uprisings in
South Nullified by coIored
Leaders.

ALBANY, Ga. April S.-The work
of German agents among the negroes
OF southeastern Georgia appears to
fluence of negro leaders themselves
and the general good feeling which
prevails between the races through
out the section.
While reports OF threatened local
disturbances elsewhere have intensi-
fled the situation, especially in Cal
houn and Butler counties, where the
negroes are from twenty to twenty
eight to one in the majority, commu-
nifty leaders profess to fear no
trouble.
Vigilance Is exercised. All strang-
ers travelling country roads are ques-
toned, and unless they can give a
good account OF themselves are es-
corted to the nearest railroad town
and ordered to board the first train
out No stranger. white or black, is
permitted to speak to negroes unless
accompanied by a guide.
German Agents Driven Away.
More than twenty persons encoun
tered in the rural districts have been
invited to. choose other environs, and
the first invitation was sufficient in
each case. -svidence obtained later re-
vealed that several of these were Ger
man agents. They posed as itinerant
preachers, healers, or peddlers.
German agents have succeeded in
reaching the negroes with appeals 10
join the Germans in attacking the
race that has denied the black man
justice. Negroes also have been urged
to go to Mexico and there unite with
the Germans in an invasion OF the
United States.
The failure OF such overtures is sig
nifcant. In their calculations the
Germans failed to take into consdera-
tion the psychology OF the Southern
Georgian negro, an oversight which
appears to be fatal to their designs.
His most strongly developed char
acteristics are obedience and loyalty.

A touring car, standing last
night at Ninth and E streets, had

his shoulders and they didn't stop.
The car bore Maryland license

A MOUSE CHASE

When | went to call on friend,

library for her. While sitting there
/ was very much amused by Mel
lies cat and two kittens. The

mouse run under the books.
Nellie came in just then and we
moved the books to help find the
mouse. The kittens watched very
closely. We saw the mouse sew

moved all the books but the mouse
got away. We never saw the
mouse again so guess he went to
visit some other house.-Berneice

Betty's mother died. She went to
live with her aunt, mean woman.
She took all of Betty's nice clothes

her, she put her out under the big
tree. Her big dog, Captain, came
out too. Her aunt gave her glass
of milk. She beat the dog black
and blue. She would not give Cap
tain anything to eat. So Betty gave
her milk to her dear dog. One day
Captain took Betty by the dress and
pulled her away over rivers and
rocks till he came to Betty's faith
er. He took her in his arms and
kissed her. She told him that her
mother was dead. and how her aunt
had treated her. She told him how
Captain had got her there. The
man taking bag gave Betty and
Captain something to eat. He took
them home and lived happy every
