HAD LAUGH ON GERMAN SPY
How Charles M. Schwab Made n
Monkey Out of Emissary OF
the Kaiser.

"CharIes NJ. Schwab had an adven--
ture with German spy" said q Phil
adelphia editor, "a short time before
we entered the war.
''Mr. Schwab went out to Chicago
on some munitions business, and the
spy dogged him like a shadow all the
way-dogged him all over the Windy
city, too.
Zone evening, to fool the fellow, Mr..
Schwab wrote some fake kilograms In
the hotel library, and then he tore a.
couple of the kilograms up. scattered:
them ON the floor and hurried from.
the room.
1.-The spy, who was, of course, right
on the job, didn't follow him out right
away. That was what he had expect
ed. and so after bit he stole back on,
tiptoe to take Mr.. Spy by surprise.
what he saw made him smile. The
spy wns down on his hands and knees
gathering up and putting together the
torn bits of fake telegram
Mr.. Schwab, standing in the door
way, gave q loud laugh Then he
said:
"Boy Ed, or Won Papen, or what
ever your name is. I'm pleased to see
that you Germans care more about
scraps of paper now than you used.

men were detailed to attend to the
dead and wounded and we were taken
out Of this danger zone. After we
marched about two kilometers up the
river. we were halted, and discovered
that the corps bridge train was in
place. We were told that we would
get the bridge ready on land. Sections
consisting of two pontoons each were
firmly fastened together, equipped with
anchors, everything else made ready
and then put In the water. The loca-
tfon for the bridge was indicated to
us and we rode with all our might
down to the bridge position. The en-
emy did not see through these tactics
and did not Interfere. SO that all the
parts reached the position in a very
short time, where they were fastened
together. In less than twenty min
utes the bridge was completed and
the infantry stormed over 1T.
The bridge was covered with straw
In order to dull the noise Of the troop
movements. At the same time. at diff
ferent places, transports with pontoons
were assisting the army to cross and
before the French found out what had
happened our troops had occupied the
opposite bank and established them
selves firmly there.
The French artillery and infantry
now opened a terrible fire on the pom
toons. Our units. which had defended

placed by infantry. I was made
leader In the pontoon and with four
men at the paddle and 18 infantrymen
as a crew, we started our first cross
ing In a veritable hail of shell, but
with only one minor casualty, we
reached the opposite bank. A COM
rade took my place at the steering
gear On the return trip, our pom
toon was struck by bullets but fortu-
nateIy above the water line All about
us the pontoons crossed, several In
a sinking condition The men who
manned them, all Of whom could swim,
tried to swim to the bank, but many
infantrymen were drowned
We landed. and took a new pontoon,
which, by a superhuman effort. we
managed to get across the river sec
ond time. This time we arrived with
two dead and one wounded infantry
man. Long before we reached the
bank the infantrymen jumped into the
shallow water and waded to land.
With the two dead left In the boat. We
turned around. Our crew ached as q
result of the continuous rowing and
their hands were soon covered by bais-

on There was no rest

The navy department has released
from Office and shore duty the regu-
lars of the navy and the reservists and
has assigned them to active duty with
the feet. Their places as clerks viii
be taken by women wherever possible
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN. paymaster
general of the navy. issued the order in
connection with this change in policy.
Every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating. adds just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order. Every man of every rank
and rating desires, of course, to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
mo man in the navy is willing in war
time to do anything that woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content in any part Of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work so important in
its nature that 1t cannot properly be
delegated to any person of lesser rat
ing.
Wherefore 1t is requested and d.
rected that the officer in charge of
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make a careful and criti-
cal survey of his personnel, both COM
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as well.
and 1t is to be distinctly understood in
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number of men for duty at
the front"

BUT LATER RECOVER
Market Closes Eighth Higher
Oats Gains Slightly Also To-
ward Close
HOGS HIGHER AND
PROVISION FOLLOW

Chicago, Ills, Jan. 17.-Although
corn prices at first eased down a little
today, influenced by likelihood that
traffic congestion would be relieved,
the market hardened owing to uncer-
tainty as to whether elevators and
dryers would be permitted to continue
in operation despite re~strivtive rules
as to coal. Quotations closed steady,
at the same as yesterdays finish to
nc higher, with Jan. 127% and May
124K. Oats gained quarter to 70 @
hc. The outcome in provisions varied
from unchanged figures to 15c adj
vance
Prospects that government coal saw
ing measures would clear the way for
more liberal arrivals of grain here
gave the orn market a slight down.
ward slant in the earlier transactions.
Selling, however, was of a decidedly
cautious sort, and there was consider
able change of sentiment after ques-
tons were raised as to whether ele-
vators, especially those without dry
ers, might not be forced shut by the
measures taken to conserve fuel.
Under such circumstances, declines
were gradually more than overcome,
as it was not definitely known until
after the close that elevators and dry
ers would not be interfered with.
Advances in oats resulted largely
from strength shown by prices at
Winnipeg. Besides, receipts here
were very small.
Higher prices on hogs gave firmness
to provisions. Arrivals of hogs here
were inadequate.
