]. $. OFFICIALS SAYS S(HUlEkbfRG
 DANGEROUS SPY
Secret Service Operatives Charge Many Law Viola
 tiOns to Prisoner.

San Francisco, Dec. 25.AFedeial of
 ficials announced last night the ar , rest on a presidential warrant of
 Franz Schulenberg. alleged to be one of the cleverest and morst. danger ous German spies operating on the Pacific coast. According to army Of ficers, he planned to destroy govern. ment docks ard shipping in most of the big coast ports.
 Military authorities said Schlden- berg, under instruceitn from Lieuten- ant von Bricken, formerly military attache at the local German consu- late, purchased a ton of dynamite in Seattle about the time of the explos" ion of a barge loaded with munitions in Pudget Sound. There is evidence, it was stated, of close association be- tween Schulenberg and Franz von Papen, former head of the German Secret Service in the United States, and with Ram Chandra, who is on trial in the federal court on a charge of violating the neutrality of the Uni ted States.
 Information in the hands of mili tary authorities is said to cover al legged breaches of neutrality on Schu lenberg's part. In December, 1914, Schulenberg reported to von Bricken at the German consulate in San Fran cisco and volunteered for service of any kind. He was sent to Seattle. Scnulenberg was instructed to report to the German consul in Seattle and drew enough money to buy one ton of dynamite, 50 high powered rifles with ample ammunition. He was to take his supply to Sumas, Wash, near the Canadian border.
 Von Papen himself travelled to Seattle incognito to meet Schulenber9 and give him $4,500. The German agent posed as Frank P. Winzewek, a Russian, and secured Russian pass port to facilitate his trips to Cana da. With German money Schulen- berg, it is alleged, bought the dyna- mite, guns and ammunition.
 In October, 1915, von B1icken is said to have sent Schulenberg to New York to report to von Papen. Von Papen told him to go to his hotel in Hoboken, N. J. That night three men in the employ of von Papen en- tered Schlunberg's room, searched him, took away his papers and bund- led him on train, first giving him a ticket to San Francisco.
 In January, 1917. Schulenberg and another agent were said to be in Los Angeles.
 Shortly after this Schulenberg un- der his old Russian passport went to Germany, it is said, and reported to the head of the German secret service. Returning after three weeks. He landed in Galveston and made his way across country to Southern California. He was arrested December near Santa Cruz. In an automobile in which Schule1-
 berg was caught the authorities found German pistol and high pow
 cred rifle, both loaded. Further in vestigation disclosed cache contain ing 46 pounds of dynamite, and at tachments for prisoner.
 Schlunberg deserted from the Ger | man army in 1904.
 | He was arrested in Sydney and turned over to the German naval at tache there. He was enlisted in the i navy and deserted six weeks lated ] in Shanghai. He is cabjnet-makel by trade.

WE MUST ORGANIZE
 A HOME GUARD

There is considerable talk of or ganizing a home guard in Prescott as is being done in numerous other towns and there are number of our young men and older men who are heartily in favor of it.
 The prime object of the home guard will he to execute necessary esplon- age measures and in fact to meet any and all affronts offered to our homes, people and government, let the tress- passers be from within or without, be they white or black. While we ear nestly desire that all will be law-abid- ing citizens, and would once and for all beg and warn against anyone starting anything contrary to the law and good order, unless you want to drink the bitter cup of your unlawful acts. It will be the duty of the home guard to warn everyone against any foolishness or unnecessary troubles, lest harm come to some innocent per son. These are perilous times and all should act soberly and righteously and be helper and not hinderer. The object will be to protect the high, the low, the rich, the poor, white or black, doing justice to all.
 By joining the home guard you do not obligate yourself to any regular military service, nor are you required to go through any long and grilling drills every day; drills will probably be held about three evenings out of each week so that after working hours you can get in about an hours drill practice and not be hard on anyone, and yet we will have a company of men fully equipped with guns and ammunition to amply protect our homes should the time come.
 We have a number of men in town who have had splendid military train ing who would be invaluable in the home guard A petition will likely be circulated for the calling of meet ing by the mayor, to bring up this i'm portant question at once.

FOR TEMPERANCE.

A well-known preacher riding In a London omnibus was entertained by a dialogue which was sustained upon the one side by the driver and upon the other by an elderly passenger.
 "I understand you're temperance?" began the driver.
 "Yes, I'm pretty strong against liq- uor," returned the other. I've been set against 1t now for 35 years"
 "Scared 1t will ruin your health?"
 "Yes. but that wasn't the main thing"
 "perhaps it doesn't agree with you?" ventured the driver.
 "Well, it really don't agree with anybody. But that isn't it, either. The thing that sets me against it is horrible idea"
 "A horrible idea What Is it?"
 "Well 8 years ago I was sitting in a hotel in America with friend of mine, and I says, Let's order bottle of something And he says. No, sir. I'm saving my money to buy the gov ernment land at IS. and Sd. per acre, I'm going to buy tomorrow, and you'd better let me take the money you would have spent for liquor and buy a couple of acres along with mine. I says, All right So we didn't drink, and he bought me two acres.
 "Well, sir, today those two acres are right in the middle of tiourishlng town, and if I'd ordered that bottle I'd have swallowed city block, q grocery store, an apothecary's shop. four lawyers offices, and it's hard to say what else. That's the idea. Amt it horrible. "

LENGTHENING OUR DAYS.

How hard it is to escape the shack les of tradition is shown by the continuing force of what is known as the Psalmist's span of life
 Nearly 5000 years ago David sang that the days of our years are three score years and ten," and to this day a multitude of men and women have come to think of that age as the nor maj limit of life, says Pittsburgh Dis patch. Burial services reiterate it and the tendency has been that when peo- pie near seventy, many, breeding on the Psalmist's words, become de pressed, lose hope and interest in liv- ing and let themselves down into a state of premature senility that hastens their end. Three score and ten may have seemed a round old age 50 centuries ago, considering medical and sanitary knowledge and conditions of living then. If in this age of prog reSs and civilization we still have to urge save the babies" campaigns and are only just beginning to recognize that 1t Is easier to prevent diseases than to try to cure them, the men and women who, like David. reached the FSalmiSts span in those days, must have had rugged constitutions. But to assume that with all our gain in sci ence, in improved living and popular education we have not succeeded in lengthening our days a particle is n libel on all progress Longevity sta tstics, in fact, prove that we have. that today the span of life has been stretched very far beyond David's limit. On an average human life. out side the war zone, has been length ened 15 years within this generation.
