WASHINGTON. July Further
strangling Of the German spy system
in this country through arrests Of the
Kaiser's agents was predicted here to-
DAY as imminent.
Just where these hauls will be

men may be was shielded from the

the spies a chance to escape.
Il was indicated, however. that in

Kaisers forces of American troop

Meantime. the American censorship

Investigate them.
Some Congressman are wroth at the
loading Of American transports so
that everyone with eyesight might
know of Il. though papers were not
allowed to print the facts. Secondly
there IS dissatisfaction at manifest op-
portunity OF the German agents to get
their messages out OF the country both
By mail 70 the South or by cable to
neutral countries adjoining Germany.
And lastly there IS a disposition in
certain Congressional quarters TO as
certain whether or not there was dis
tortion or exaggeration Of the report
from Admiral Gleayes on the subma-
rine attack against the destroyer con-
soy OF the transports.
Meantime. the secret agents OF aii
branches are helping In the roundup
OF spies.
The state Department Is the clear
ing house for the secret service ac-
tlvities and probably will be given 2
fuller hand to direct the work OF an
departments. And the war aud navy

Both England and France have their

NUMBER So
SEND THE ROBESONIAN To
YOUR SOLDIER BOY

Let The Robesonian follow your
boy as he leaves home for training
camp and later for the front. There
is nothing you could send him that
would be appreciated SO much. Don't
try to send him the paper after you
have read it. He will not get it reg
ularly that way, and the cost of send
ing it is almost as much that way
as the cost of subscribing for him.
Let it be mailed to him regularly
from this office. He will get it reg
ularly that way, and it will be like
a letter from home to him. In no
other way can he keep up with home
news. If any one who reads this
knows of a man called into service
whose parents Or other near reia-
tives are not able to send the paper,
he will be doing a good deed by sub
scribing for that person. And if any
parents or wife of man who has
been called into service are not able
to send the paper if they will advise
The Robsonian to that effect it may
be that arrangements may be made
to send soldiers who have gone from
! such homes The Robesonian. A Lum-
berton man has started a movement
for that purpose. There is nothing
that could give a man away from
home in the service of his country
SO much pleasure ard real satisfac-
tion as being able to read the news
| from home in The Robesonian.
