SPY SUSPECT
HELD in JAIL

Federal officers and military
police believe they have captured
a German spy, active in the North
west, in the person OF Hans Deck
endorff, who says he is cousin OF
Count Won Bernstorff, and who is
held in the county Jail pending
further investigation.
On information that he had
ignored President Wilson's order
forbidding Germans to go within
five miles of a military reserva-
ton and visited Camp Lewis,
Deckendorf was arrested at Lake
Taps, near Summer. late Tuesday
by special agent OF the depart
ment of justice and Deputy U. s.
Marshal Albert.
He had been working In a saw
mill there, and had previously
been living in Seattle where large
sums of money said to have pass
ed thru his hands to other Ger
mans aroused the suspicious of the
military police.
The man is said to answer a
description of Hans Won Decken-
dorf, escaped from London where
he was informed as a German spy
more than q year. He is also said
to resemble description of q
Germna spy active on the Mexican
border not long ago.

For G. O.'s.
To prove that the registrant
has religious convictions against
war he must give the innermost
details of such church and his al
lance with it.
This includes when the sect
adopted opposition to war and
number of sect adherents in the
United States. This broad, deep
search is made of the registrants
mind in every case that he seem
ingly lays the basis for claiming
exemption.
If man claims to be not an
American citizen he must give his
date of birth and birthplace,
when and by what vessel or other
means he entered the United
States, where he came from,
whether with parents, whether
either has been naturalized,
whether ever voted or registered
for voting in the United States,
ever taken out first papers and
whether willing to return to ma
tive country and enter its mill
tary service.
Quiz About Wife.
The scope and vision of tho de-
tendency questions even suggest
that a married man when neces-
sary may be drafted If the wife is
trained or~skilled in any calling.
The QUESTIONABLE asks after
the condition of the wife's health,
whether either man or wife live
with parents and has the wife
ever been employed. The man is
asked how much per month he
considers necessary for support
of all his dependents.
Even the name of a registrant's
landlord and the amount of rent
are inquired into. If an alleged
dependent owns the house he or
she lives in the government wants
to know it.

FRENCH
PREMIER
RESIGNS
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

LONDON, Nov. l4.-One pre-.
mfer out and another under strong
fire were today's results in the eff
fort to consolidate all allied pow
er, military and political, under
one inter-allied council.
Resignation of Premier Pain.
leve and his cabinet at Paris was
regarded as directly expressive OF
the French chamber of deputies
opposition to such a plan, althO
the vote was not specifically for
or against the plan itself.
In London the press and public
continued its onslaught on the
scheme, the fear being expressed
that under it civilians might re-
place military men as strategists.
The fight against Premier
Lloyd-eGorge's support of an in
ter-allied war council came to a
head in the house of commons
this afternoon when the premier
himself took the floor to explain
the agreement creating the or
ganization.
LLOYD George Explains
He emphasized that interallied
war council had mo executive
power.
Final decisions as to strategy
and as to the movement of troops
will rest with the governments"
he declared, THE allies object
in the plans was to have a repre-
sentative central body which
should watch the whole opera
tions of the war and coordinate
plans, and IL necessary, propose
new ones.
Painleve's resignation and those
of his colleagues came after social
lists had withheld their vote from
motion to support the govern
ment.
The vote came at the conclusion
of spirited debate on the inter-
allied war council, during which
it was characterized as "a mere
secretarial bureau"
Lloyd George Attacked
Painleve's explanation of the
purpose OF the new unlIlcdtlOn
failed to appease the deputies.
Painleve's speech gave this cpl
time of the war council:
Its object is not to direct the
details of military operations, but
to define the general war policy
and the general plans of the al
lies, adapting them to the re-
sources and means at hand, and In
order to insure the strongest pos
sible results"
The comment in London against
such scheme today was mixed
with violent assaults on Premier
Lloyd George for his frank speech
at the Paris luncheon. Most news
papers and particularly the North
cliffe publications, expressed fear
editorially today that the new wal
council would seek to displace
such British commanders as Sir
Douglas Haig and Gen. Robert
son.

LINE IS
HOLDING

LONDON, Nov 14.-The Teu-
ton army gained the first advan-
tage in the jockeying preliminary
to the aii-important battle of the
Piave, but after having crossed
that stream at Zenson, their forces
were pinned tight to the bank by
powerfully directed Italian. coun-
ter attacks.
The fact that the Austro-Ger-
mans were unable to make further
progress today after crossing the
river was regarded as a favorable
omen of Italian solidity.
Venice is only about 20 miles
from where the Germans crossed
the river. Only one more natural
defense line Of any strength stands
between the Piave and the city of
the Doges.
On the northern Qeft) wing of
the Italian line in the mountains
the enemy advanced slightly, but
is being blocked in efforts to turn
the flank of the Italian front.

Getting in and out of Camp
Lewis isn't as easy now as II was

Every night Gordon of guards

while the sentries unwind the
red tape prescribed by the rules
and regulations.
This is the way it works:
An auto bus with one lone civil
ian for a passenger leaves the
camp at 2 a. m. On its way to the
Pacific Highway it is halted.
A guard, with his rifle slung
like bar in front of him, steps
