RULING OF PAPER
\ BOARD IN EFFECT
NOVEMBER FIRST

The recent ruling of the pulp and
paper division of the war indus
tries board, that all newspapers
should remove the names of all sub
|scribers who are more than three
months In arrears In their sub
|scripti0ns, will go into effect on the
first day OF November, and every
publisher will be required to make
a statement under oath on that date
that he has lived up to the order.
The Republican never has made any
great effort to have all subscriptions
paid in advance We have always
figured that 1t was an accommoda-
ton to our subscribers to carry them
on the books until they were ready
to settle. We have never had any
trouble with the system, as most of
our subscribers are local people, we'll
acquainted with this office, and good
pay. But the order has been issued
and II we do not live up to 1t our
supply Of print paper will be cut off.
Therefore we are asking all sub
scribers to pay their subscriptions
atvonce and as far In advance as con-
venient, so that we will not be
obliged to stop any paper, before the
order Is rescinded when the war
ends.

ADMITS HE'S SPY
Brought Over New Code for
German Agents in q. s.
40 Other New Arrivals Held by
Govt Under Suspicion.

New York, Feb. "a man said to
have confessed to being a German
agent, is a prisoner today on Ellis Is
land, where he was sent after being
taken from the liner Nieuw Amster-
dam. Forty other passengers are held
on suspicion.
The alleged spy, whose name is
withheld, is said to have had messages
in code concealed in his collar. After
twelve thin sheets of paper, covered
with letters and figures of a code had
been found upon him, the man is said
to have broken down and confessed
that he is in the pay of the German
government and had come here in
order to furnish spies now operating
in this country with the new code. He
is also said to have stated that he
received a large sum of money for
undertaking the mission, but refused
to give the names of the persons to
whom the code was to be delivered.
Old Code Is known to U. S.
The man is said to be a naturalized
citizen oil Dutch or German origin.
The purpose of the spy in coming to
this country was to re-eSta blish COM
munication between the German spy
system here and the German govern
ment, which had been impaired by
the ability of American intelligence
officers to read existing codes, it was
reported.

A Baden division, preceded by shock
units, assaulted the French line at the

and leaving some prisoners. On Feb
ruary in the vicinity of Fosses Wood
another attack was made at dawn af-
ter a short and sharp artillery prepar-
alton by Hanoverian troops and re-
lief division. They succeeded in reach
ing French barbed wire and in oc-
cupying an element of the French po-
sitions.
They were driven out almost imme-
diately and pursued by the French
leaving many dead and number OF
captured.

The object is to give every laboring'
man chance to shtw his loyalty TO

L am always reluctant to suggest to
the business men and employers of
the town any proposition for closing
or suspending business. / am inclined
to think that this is purely a matter
for individual decision.
But these are extraordinary times
anC II occurs to me that il would be
commendable and graceful thing
to do. e
therefore make the suggestion
trusting that it will meet with the an
proval not only of those who have in
their employ men who wish to march
IN the parade, but of all the business
interests of the town.
