With the explanation today by the

ST. Poprick, former Austrian re-
servist, fined S25 in Police Court for
seditious utterances, came to be hired

Poprick was holding forth In q Bit

sheltered him from service with the
Austrian arms, when two employees
OF the War Department sitting next
him called Carlin. The offender Is
said to have been intoxicated at the

From the adjutant generals office
the opinion came today that while

no oath of allegiance to the United
States or have their past records
looked up unless suspicion is aroused.
