will face hearing here. The prelimin-
Pary charge against him is only that OF
being a dangerous enemy alien, but
from evidence at hand it is likely he
will be charged with spying and if
convicted will doubtless be shot.
Firing Magazine
The alleged Teuton agent, who was
caught trying to fire an army maya
zine within the important naval zone
at Hampton Roads had been trailed
long by intelligence men and justice
department agents. They followed him
at social affairs and in his journeys to
Camp Meade, Nd, and other military
points.
Though he wore the uniform of the
him penetrated the disguise and never
letting him out Of their sight, finally
trailed him to the magazine near New
port News where it is claimed he tried
to blow it up.
Woman His Undoing
A beautiful woman is said to have
been his undoing, though officials here
are reticent to reveal what part she
played in his detention.
Documents found on Sporemann,
when aarrested in Virginia, indicated
that he had an alliance with the mo-
torious Boy-ed, German military at
tache, that he was well supplied with
| the kaiser s funds and that he work
ed with the aid of prominent persons
Including one woman. Sporemann s
brother Frederick was arrested here
last night as an enemy alien and is
said to have revealed important infor-
nation about Walter, whom he dislik-
ed.
AS officials pieced together the re-
markable tale surrounding Walter
Sporemann s activities, it runs like
this:
Coming here from Bremen in 1910
he established residence in this city.
Before the war he apparently estab-
lished relations with Boy-ed, getting
thousands of dollars from him to fl
nance his German work
Had Several Uniforms
When war with Germany broke out,
Sporemann gathered in several Amer
lean army uniforms which, with a
German army suit, were found in his
room here.
But not until some weeks ago did
his work attract particular attention.
Then, it is claimed, his uniform and
the woman with whom he associated
formed a combination of circumstanc-
es which uncovered his real role. At
that time he was evidently gathering
data about Camp Meade and other
military stations. Detectives trailed
him constantly, finally tracing him to
Newport News. There he readily found
work at the aviation field, and, it is
claimed, made one unsuccessful at
tempt to blast the magazine. Sentries
fired on him, but he returned the fol
lowing day.
An officer making his way past
several sentries spoke in German to
Sporemann. He pretended not to under
stand. But when the officer mentioned
social affair which had occurred
here, Sporemann Immediately became
friendly. The officer, pulling a gun,
arresseu him.
Officials at Norfolk quizzed him in
the hope that they might ascertain
something of the fire in the business
section about two weeks ago, but
Sporemann was silent He is an intel
lhgent man who speaks English with
out an accent as well as several other
languages.

work program in the counties in his
district in order that the work of or
ganization may be centered on those
counties which are ready to back up
the program, for, as he explains, the
work can only pressed aa fast as COM
petent secretaries can be found and
trained for the work.
"The county work program is de-
signed especially for the boys and
young men of the smaller towns and
the rural communities, explained Mr.
Hollingworth. "Through this program
we hone to bring to. these communities
the benefits and privileges of the Y.
M q. A. which have for years been
enjoyed by the boys and young men
of the larger cities.
eve do net, however, expect to
come into these communities with the
intention Of erecting an expensive
building. Neither do we expect to in
stali any elaborate equipment. The
county work program Of the Y. M. G. A.
requires neither building nor equip
ment.. Yet the results attained in the
counties of eastern and middle west
ern states, where the program has
been in operation for a number OF
years, have been such as to merit the
support Of every person who has at
heart the welfare Of the boys and
young men Of the community.
sThe county work program is four
fold, dealing with the religious, edaca-
.tional, social and physical activities OF
the community. The success of the pro-
gram depends in large measure upon
the personality Of the county secre-
tary, which is one reason for the diff
Tfienlty in filling these positions. The
