course probably would serve to good
purpose and might generate a spy

the scares which resulted in injustices

Want No False Suspicion

In view of the loyal attitude Of the
large body of German Americans. it is
considered particularly important that
there be no hysterical and no unnec-
essary engendering of suspicion against
the foreign born.
That the efficient German spy system
is operating in this country is consid-
cred by high officials as one of the in
evitable circumstances Of the war The
large foreign population undoubtedly
makes espionage easier than in most
countries, since the spies can scatter
amongst the foreign colonies and be
completely lost to sight.

School Notes.

Tonight the Athena basket ball
teams will play double-header game
against Hermiston, on the local floor.
Little is known of the strength Of the
visitors this year. Last year the Her
miston boys team challenged the Mil
ton team for the championship of the
county and lost, II to 12.
A week from tonight the local teams
will meet the Walla Walla teams in a
double header on the Walla Walla floor.
Although the Walla Walla girls team
has changed since last year, and is not
considered as strong, an interesting
game is expected.
Last Saturday evening the local bas-
ket ball teams were defeated. the
Waitsburg girls winning by score of
8a to 2, and the Walla Walla boys 40
". Although the Athena girls were
outweighed and outclassed in team
work, they held down their opponents
in the first half. In the last half the
Waitsburg girls proved to be too fast
for the locals. and by excellent basket
shooting, won the game. In the first
half of the boys game the Athena
boys were ahead, which proved that
they were putting up a good 6ght; but

New Orleans Youngsters to Have
Opportunity to Serve in or At
ter the War.

Youngsters of New Orleans who
are quick on their feet and alert
mentally will be given training to
fit them to enter the United States
navy, or, after the war, to become
officers in the American merchant
marine, according to a decision OF
the board of governors of the Gulf
Coast Naval Training Association at
meeting held Wednesday noon at
the headquarters 618 Common
street.
The purpose of the organization
is to accept as soon as available fifty
boys of this city ranging in age
from IA years to II years, have
them uniformed in summer outfits
similar to that worn by seamen APP
prertices of the United States navy,
teach them drilling and navy signal
ing work and later put them aboard
a fleet of training boats so as to
euuip them with the necessary ex-
perience for United States coast de-
tense reserve work.
Enrolment of these boys was be-
gun Wednesday at the headquarters
of the organization and during the
afternoon eight youngsters signified
their intention Of getting permission
from parents or guardians to join
the Gulf Coast Naval Training As
sociation's Junior reserve. The re-
quirement for joining this force will
be similar to those in the United
States navy. The boys will be sub
jected to a physical examination
and when classes Of instruction have
beer started there probably will be
written examination required.
The general plan is to have fix
ed number of youths ready to enter
the navy each year, and particularly
to have them equipped for coast de-
fense work. To give them this know
ledge the association will draw upon
it's list of boat owners and nautical
instructors who have enrolled as
members of the association for in
str1ction service.
The first work after enrolment
and physical examination will be
placing the boys under competent
drillmasters- members Of the asso-
ciation-headed by Emile C. Roehl,
member Of the board of governors.
The drillmasters will include men
who have seen either army or navy
service. Included in the drill will be
the usual setting up exercises,
