WOMAN SPY CAUGHT

Newark, N. J., April l3-Mrs. Lydie White was arrested here tonight by Federal authorities. Blue prints of aeroplanes were found in her posses sion. After close questioning by the officers. Mrs. White broke down and confessed that a group of German spies are employed in the plant of the Curtis Engineering Corporation, at Hemp stead, Long Island.
 The federal authorities admit that for several weeks they have been in- vestigating the report of spy activity in various airplane plants and especi- ally the Curtis company. For two weeks Mrs. White has been shadowed Her house is now believed to have been the place where the spies congregated nightly and gave to the woman, a German agent, all information that they could secure. The prints taken from Mrs. White are plans of several new inventions, especially of essential parts of the new aeroplanes being man. ufactured.
 Further arrests are expected.

TOO MANY OLD MEN,

A faVorite idea with Lenine, frequently advanced in his Petro- grad career, is that there are too many old men in positions of su- preme responsibility. His most dramatic effect before the council of soldiers and workers was won in crisis on 6 vote that might have oyerthroWn him. He bade the delegates in thunder tones to look into the first mirror they saw The faces reflected would be those of young men. What, on the other hand, would be the color of the hair of the rulers opposed to the great social revo- lution? Gray! The revolution of youth, hope, the future. Against it are ranged the gray haired rulers of men without ideals Twill you have an old mems war or a young mems peace?" The hit was immense. Current Opinion.

LESSON FOR THE AMERl-
 CAN GIRL

The taking over of the holdings in this country of Countess La>zio Szecheny; who was Miss Gladys Van derbiIt, valued at SS. 915, ,OO0, will prob ably pat a temporary crimp in the marriage of wealthy American women to aliens with title. \ Washington dispatch says it is estimated that the possessions Of American women mar ried to aliens which will come into the hands of A. Mitchell Palmer will reach so ,00O, ,00O.
 The alien property act also directs the custodian to take over the property and money Americans who may be in alien territory. IL is reported there are twenty-five American women living in or visiting enemy countries who are liable to have their properties and in- comes in the United States seized. This will add $4O, GOO, ,O00, to the amount that will eventually come into MT. Palmer's hands and will be used in the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
 The seizure of these and similar properties and incomes will probably cause a good deal of trouble for the American girl, as in most of the mar riages she was wOoed solely for her money and the stories of her unhappi- ness have been repeatedly told in the newspapers, Most of the titled hus- bands are brutes by natrre and the cutting off of the wife's revenue will not improve their manners or disposi- tions. Perhaps the lesson will be needed by the debutants of the future. Tacoma Ledger.

 the s1nugglet theory fits and now seems

 the smuggling theory since these autos
 doubtless were feeding the liquor to the airmen.
 Thus far the authorities have done
 nothing in the matter, but the airplane continues to visit this section almost nightly.

Protect Your Garden From Frost

Because Of the urgent necessity for
increasing the available food supply
the home garden is this year an eco
nOmic factor of unusual importance.
Realizing this, the weather bureau is
prepared to do it's bit by sending
broadcast throughout the country
warnings Of expected frost. The warn
fngs will be sent out by telegraph, tele-
phone and mail, and through The me-
dunn of the daily papers. 1t is realized
that the best way to reach the pubic
is through the press. Most of The pa
Ders of the country are expected to
make a special feature of frost warn
ings this spring, and the home garden
ers are urged to watch the daily Papers
for these warnings.
There are in use in some of8the
large gardening and fruit growing dis
tricts elaborate systems of frost pro-
lection, but because of their cost they
are not adapted to the needs OF the
home gardener. Protecting a garden
Of average size is simple and mex
pensive. Unless the frost is severe a
light covering of almost any material,
such as hay or straw, is sufficient.
Stable. manure is excellent, as itagen-
crates heat by it's own decomposition.
If the wind is light smudge fires OF
damp straw or manure are effective.

thing like forty years in getting ready
for this war, her leading minds taught
that it should come, she has violated
treaties, international law, and her
armies are now on foreign soil. She
has killed Americans, broken her
promises with the United States, and
spent money in this country in
criminal manner. Can Mr.. Ochsner
say either of the above statements are
not true. Here are the questions:
= When Germany attacked Belgium
and France, what could they do but
fight?
Mr. Ochsner, what would you have
done had you been resident Of Bel
GUM in 1914?
What else could England do in or
der to protect her rights?
After Germany had killed Americans
and violated her relations with us in
every manner possible, what else could
the United States do?
If band Of men should cross your
farm, destroying crops and fences, per
haps carrying you into slavery, what
would you do or want done with the
outlaws.
In time like this is it not best to
stand with the majority? To buy
bonds and help the country?
How did the people of the United
States gain their freedom from an au-
tocratic power, Mr.. Ochsner?
Now that this country is threatened
by an outlaw military power, what is
the best thing for this country to do?
Mr.. Ochsner should remember that
this country is at war, not because we
wanted war, but because Germany has
thrust it upon us. 1t is no time for
free speech now; discussion was all
right before war was declared. tEV-
cry man should enjoy his rights and
one great good that will probably come
from this war is greater liberties for
the laboring man. If Mr.. Ochsner
thinks this is a rich mans war he
should ask some of the Sank county
bankers. Of course there are those
in this country getting rich as a re-
suit of the war, the same in Germany,
England and France. We all know the
Socialists claim they are opposed to
war, but what is to be done when a
nation rises like a demon. like Ger
many today? Do like Russia? Should
not Germany be driven back where she
belongs, Mr. Ochsner? If so, did you
subscribe to the first, second and third
liberty loan to do it? If not, why not?
When answering the first group of
questions kindly answer the last also.
Mr. Ochsner sent several clippings
from Socialist papers, but this state
ment is long enough. Mr. Ochsner will
now take the floor.

The German Attitude

enemies made, as by friends, when the

A Socialist View

l noticed the reply to my article and
beg to say | consider it no crime for
a man and wife to disagree. Perhaps
wife who never disagrees with you.
AS to the Indictment of Rose Pastor
Stokes, she went no further than the
constitution allows her.
The Socialists never have any use
for autocracy Of any kind. The rea-
son they are here is because this is
the best country in which to live, but
that is no reason we must not protect
the liberties our fOrefathers fought for
Furthermore, every Socialist is expect
ed to stand by the majority, which now
is with the Democratic party. But
that does not mean that under a de-
mocracy the laboring man should not
have his candidates.
Am sorry you believe that more dras-
tic measures should be taken to stop
this harangue. Perhaps the iron-clad
type of Waupun will succeed.
Here is what makes Socialist ideas:
everybody disloyal who disagrees. A
large banker in Chicago says: "All
farmers are disloyaI. Lenroot, Davies
and Berger were disloyal." Who is
loyal? l say only our war profiteers
are loyal. These l call our managers.
Look at Dodge county and Horizon.
The place Seidel was fined was carried
by Berger. Have stricter laws, pen
up or hang the Socialists is better.
The kaiser tried this about thirty
years ago and failed, but he has now
a scheme by which he thinks he can
crush Socialism, but he will have one
think coming, so let our old gang pol
iticians go to it. Cheap cigars and
free drinks will not work in the near
future.
But one thing in closing; if you
would print the whole article | send,
your readers could understand it bet
ter. Yours for hot campaign ia the

German in Baraboo Schools

The teachers of the high school
feel that the loyal citizens Of Bara-
boo should know one or two facts
hitherto unpublished. 1t is true that
the quotation, of which a translation
appeared in this paper on Thursday,
occurs in one of the German text
books, but it is also true that before
those books were placed in the hands
Of the students this year, those quo
tations and others in which similar
ideas we're expressed were carefully
effaced by Miss Christian Wright, the
teacher of German.
Although Miss Wright teaches the
German language, in no sense does
she teach German propaganda. In
every respect she is loyal to her
Scotch ancestry and to her beloved
country, the United States, doing all
in her power to instil American prin-
cipIes into the minds of those who are
members of her classes.

When the, garden is small a few old
burlap bags, an old comforter or two,
or even few copies Of this paper, will
suffice Buckets or tubs of water
placed at intervals in the garden will
help. Because of air drainage frost
forms first in the valleys or lowlands,
and whenever possible the garden
should be planted on the hillside
rather than on lower ground. Frost
