Last week we printed story Of the
arrest of suspect, man whose ae-
lions lead TO his arrest as n possible
German spy. This week we print The

suspicious and il WAS some time before
he could convince the officials that he
was not an enemy Of the government.
The information that lead 10 the mans
arrest Was given by Town Clerk DaY.
i'd FIagg of Putnam. He saw the man
drawing plans and inspecting charts

sengers was proceeding from New Lon
don TO Sag Herbor. He later learned
that the first question that the man
asked when he went ashore was regad.

any man would have been Sinking

that the man turned out to be a good
American citizen does not alter the as.

an innocent man be disconnected and
made 10 prove his identity than that
chances be taken In having an enemy
OF the government at large. This Is
realized in all parts of the country and
the New York, Boston d Westminster
Railroad and other public corporations
have posted notices asking the public
To perform patriotic duty and report
all persons acting suspiciously. This
is exactly what Mr.. Flagg did and he
Is to be commended for doing his duty.

TRAPSHOOTERS READY
Qualified to Shoulder Gun i'm War
With Germany.

There is no one sport on the cal
endar which can claim the virtue of
fitting it's devotees for military SER
vices more than trapshooting.
The sport alluring". as il has
been termed. takes one out into the
open air for interesting and healthy
exercise. and best of all, ii teaches
one how to handle a gun and how
TO become a marksman.
Trapshooting is one of the most
expensive sports that can be INDUCED
in, yet there are thousands Of trap
shooters in the country today who
come within the limits of the mill
tary age, and from their ranks Uncle
Samuel will recruit many a marks
man of whom the army will be
proud.
Handling a shotgun and a rifle are
two different things, but the man
who knows how TO use a shotgun
can put a rifle to his shoulder and
get results with very little practice,
whereas the uninitiated find an army
rifle almost as unruly as a Missouri
mule. a..

SITUATION is MUDDLED
Both Levinsky and Gibbons Say
They Won Battle.

The light heavyweight champion
ship situation is all muddled up
again. 1t is in just as much of a
tangle as a kitten in a spool of silk
thread, and the only way out seems
TO be return match between Bat
Levinsky and Tommy Gibbons.
A short time ago Levinsky and
Gibbons met in St. Paul in a To-
round bout. The next day ST. Paul
papers came out with columns of
praise for the home town boy. They
gave the decision TO Gibbons, and
from all accounts of the bout.
Tommy must have given the Battler
orders.
But there are always two sides 10
an argument. and Danny Morgan
and his Battler claim that Levinsky
won by just as clean margin as st.
Paul scribes handed the decision 60
Gibbons.
The only way 10 settle it is TO get
these two mitten wielders into a
ring with a referee who has the
power to render a decision.
