HUN SPY'S NAME |S
 BROUGHT |NT0 CASE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, June 17.-Taking of testimony began in the federal court here today in the trial of John J. O'Leary, on charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice for aiding the flight of his brother, Jeremiah A. O'Leary, Sim Fein leader on the eve of his trial last month on charges of publish ing anti conscription articles.
 Government counsel sought at the outset to establish a connection be- tween Jeremiah O'Leary's flight and the spy and treason cases in which he was subsequently indicted with four Americans and two Germans, includ- ing Carl Rodiger, German navy of ficer.
 German Spy Mentioned
 The name of Madame De Victorica the German woman indicted as spy entered the proceedings when Herbert F. RoSenbush, an apprentice seaman in the United States navy and former ly employed in Jeremiah O'Leary's of flee, testified that last fall he was called by his employer and told to bring "the papers in the South Ameri- can divorce case" to the office of the Bull Publishing company" O'Leary was the neditor of the magazine Bull"
 Rosenbush said it was his impres- sion that O'Leary was representing Mime. De Victorica in a divorce pro- ceeding. but that the document he was directed to deliver did not have the appearance of a regular court pe- tition.'
 May Have Been Code
 Further questioning of the witness seemed to strengthen the inference that "the South American divorce pa pers" was a code which OLeary ap- piled to some documents the identity of which he preferred to keep a secret Prosecutor Barnes brought out the fact that this conversation about the divorce papers" occurred about the time the government made it known O'Leary had been active in Sim Feir propaganda.

LABOR UNIONS TAKE
 STAND AGAINST AIT
 OF WESTERN UNION
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

ST PAUL, Minn., June 17-Resolu- tions protesting against the attitude of Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company in the controversy with telegraph opera tors employed by that company were adopted today at the convention of the American Federation of Labor.
 Action was deferred on a resolution asking that steps be taken to prohibit exportation of news print paper to other than allied countries. The paper shortage is due, primarily, according to the resolution, to low wages strikes and lockouts. Officers of paper manu- featuring unions placed the blame for the shortage on manufacturers and publishers and sounded a warning that continued discrimination against union members would result in further cur tailment. The resolution finally was re-committsd to a committee.
 interchangeable Unionism
 The free mOvementsof workers from one union to another again was the object of lengthy discussion. As pre- sented to the convention the resolution called upon the federation to use it's good offices for the purpose of remov- ing all barriers standing in the wav of transfer of workers. Because of the large number of technical unionists who have gone into ship yards and other governmental work, it was as serted, the question was of great i'm pOrtance to organized labor. The reso- lution was defeated when it was point ed out that the federation had No right to interfere with autonomous rights of affiliated unions.
 Resolution Re- Committed | Earlier in the day it was enormously reported that the resolution would be held in abeyance pending a conference Of all interested parties. Instead, it was re- committed to the committee on organization which again brought il | before the convention.
 l According to the resolution, Presi- dent Cartons action in calling a con- vention of Western Union employees tc be held in Chicago on July 10 is for the purpose of perfecting company con- trolled association" and is a continu- ance of his denial to workers of the
 right to belong to a legitimate trade | union.

Emuating the famous king of his tory who marched up the hill and then marched down again. the newest state of Arizona, last of the states on the nations roll. in the patriotic pleasur e. task of subscribing her allotted quota to the third Liberty loan, went that monarch one better and turned square, ly around and for the second time marched up the hill.
 Twice "over the top" and then some, is the record of Arizona the baby state of the union, among all the states in the third Liberty loan, that DOT ton of the state within the twelfth federal reserve district, a record that is hung up for all the nation to see, and so far as is known, it is a record that has not been equalled,
 State Gets Blue Star
 In recognition of the wonderful rec ord made by Arizona, this state has been awarded by Chairman Weeks of the twelfth federal reserve district the first blue star in her honor flag. Along with this honor comes the congratu- lations of the chairman.
 With the return at hand it is be- lieved that no other state in the union stands with Arizona in having sub scribed twice over her quota to the third Liberty loan. The exact per cent of her subscriptions with refer ence to her quota is POI. and this was secured by having subscribed the sum of $6,56S,000 to the last loan, that is, it is the total to date. More is coming in all the time and it is confidently expected by the officials that when the last of the subscriptions have been totalled the grand amount will be in creas ed by more than s200,000.

ARIZONA MANUFACTURERS USING SUGAR WILL
 BE PUT ON NATIONS BY FOOD CONTROLLERS

The federal food administration for Arizona announced today the details of new plans, effective May 15, for the rationing of Arizona manufacturers using sugar. The plan has been worked out by the United States food admin istration with the greatest possible care and with the desire to disturb business just as little as possible con- sistent with the attainment of the conservation of sugar. which is vitally needed at this time for canning pur- poses.
 Under this plan, both the msoufac- turers of the essential food products and those of less essential food pro- ducts, with the exception of public eating places and bakeries, are classed. In Arizona. the program will effect, particularly, all drug stores and soda water dispensers making their own syrups and soda water manufacturers.
 No Cards; No Sugar
 No Arizona manufacturers using su- gar for manufacturing will be per mitted after May 15 to purchase sugar without surrender of an authorized sugar distribution certificate issued by the federal food administration for Arizona through the county food ad- ministrators.
 Where a company has several manu- featuring plants located in different states, it will be necessary for that company to file a statement with the food administrator of each state in which it's plants may be located Each administrator will take care of the plants in his own particular state, whether owned within or without the state. This, however. does not pre- vent the sellers of sugar located in one state from making deliveries in another on receipt of certificate Manufacturers may obtain certificates upon delivery of the required sworn statement which shows the amount of sugar to which he is entitled
 Wholesalers Notified
 All wholesalers and retailers have been notified that they must not sell sugar after May 15 to any manufac- turer using sugar unless the manufac- turer delivers the necessary certificate. Refiners and sugar brokers have been

Lord Curzon Defends Work
 of British Government
 and Says Fall of Premier Would Cause Joy to Huns
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, May 10.-Speaking at the annual meeting of the Primrose league today, Earl Curzon, government leader in the house of lords and member of the British war council, defended the British war cabinet.
 We have been told frequently dur ing the last few months that our gov ernment was in weekly, if not daily, peril of having an end put to its exist ence. Against it only yesterday was directed a lethal blow which somewhat glanced off the target he said.
 The present is not a moment for prophecy. It is a moment for grap- bling with hard facts, because the mili- tary menace is greater than at any time during the last four years. It may truthfully be said that the enemy is at our gates and the hour of destiny is with us at this very moment.
 Military Politicians
 Earl Curzon said he was thoroughly astonished when he read in the news papers proposals made by responsible persons that the right thing to do at this emergency was to place generals and admirals inside the cabinet The strange thing about this suggestion, he said, was that it was made by those who ''shrieked about German milltar- ism
 Let the generals and admirals,' he continued, attend cabinet meetings, as they do every day, and advise cabi- net ministers, but the moment sol dier is placed in control of policy and administration, the soldier is spoiled and he does not improve administra- tion. The names of great soldiers have been used by party politicians"
 Who Would Have Rejoiced?
 If Lloyd George had fallen yester- day" he said. the rejoicings would have been in Berlin and not in London, Paris, Calcutta or Montreal. The country is sick of railings and wailings made under the shelter of the forms of distinguished soldiers. The moment a country allows military administra- | tion to assume the upper hand, it is on the path that leads to disaster.
 He said yesterdays vote in the house 1 of commons was much more than a mere refutation of charges against the 1 ministry. It was warning to snipers I and sharpshooters to desist from those | tactics and that commons had no sym pathy with their maneuvers.
 Grave Times Ahead
 Grave times are ahead" he said i and British soldiers may have to give ground. Encoura cement is to be found however. in the unity of command, il Americas effort, and in the resolute indomitable spirit of the British peo- ple.'
 He concluded with wish that Ire land had joined in the military effort and hoped that it was not yet too late
 There is only one thing we cannot afford to lose, and that is the war, were his closing words.

Germans Deny Success

BERLIN (via Dondon). May 1o. The British attempt to blockade the harbor of Ostend was a failure, accord ing to an official statement issued to- day. An old cruiser, entirely battered to pieces. lies aground before the har- bor outside the navigation channel, and the entrance to the harbor is quite free, the statement continues.
 At o'clock Friday morning British naval forces, after violent lombard ment, again made blocking attack on Ostend. Several enemy ships. which, under the protection of artificial fog, tried to force Gaeir way into the har- bor, were driven off by the excellently directed fire oe our coastal batteries.
 An old crviser. entirely battered to pieces. lies aground before the harbor outside the navigation channel. The entrance to the harbor is quite free.
 Only dead men were found on board the stranded vessel. Two survivors of the crew had leaped overheard and were captured, according to informa- tion so far received
 At least two enemy motorboats were shot away and one monitor was badly damaged. The blockadinS attempt, therefore, has been completely foiled. Once again the enemy has sacrificed human lives and vessels in vain.''
