INTERNED ENEMIES

Becker Throws Light on En-
clusiOn of Wizards Maya
zine From Mails.

Testimony taken by Alfred l.. Becker,
Deputy State Attorney-General, in the
course Of his investigation into German
propaganda throws light. he believes. on
Postmaster-General Burleson's recent or
der barring from the malls the septem-
Der issue Of the Nation. a magazine
edited by Oswald Garrison Willard. for
merly owner of the New York Evening
Post
No explanation accompa MED the Post
master-Generals edict affecting the
magazine and the official reason for the
Post Once Departments action in the
case remains a subject Of conjecture.
Deputy Acknowledgement Becker has
learned. however. that the magazine Is
extremely popular among the enemy
aliens at Fort Oglethorpe. Georgia. who
read II with avidity. but take pains to
conceal their fondness for 1t. The Neu
Republic. another magazine of liberal
editorial policies. published in this city,
is likewise held in high esteem among
the informed aliens. according to Mr..
Becker.
The Deputy Attorney-Gen received
his information from an agent whom he
sent to Fort Oglethorpe to take testi-
mony on another matter. Among the
men examined by this agent was a Ger
man who had been IN the intarnment
camp eight months. The latter was
asked under oath what periodicals we're
the most widely read among the Ger
mans and Austrians confined in the
camp. His reply was:
The Nation of New York and the Ncp
Republic. The articles in the Nation APP
peal so much to the. informed aliens that
they gather in groups evenings and read
1t aloud so that those who do not sub
scribe may have the benefit of 1t, I re-
member one article about Russia which
appeared a couple Of months ago that
caused great delight among the Germans.
THE point made in the article was
that Russia was not going to be deceived
by the Allies. but would play her own
game of being friendly with both Ger
many and the Entente. The article con-
veyed the idea that the Allies had made
a great blunder In interfering in Russian
affairs"
What can you tell me about the Netr
the witness was asked.
The Germans read 1t aloud too was
the reply. at is very popular. but
think that the Nation is much more
popular"
How many Germans subscribe for the
Nutionf' he was asked.
There are only a few subscriptions. 4"
said the witness. while they all would
like to subscribe they do not do so for
fear that the Government censor would
catch on TO the popularity OF the Nation
and the NeU Republic and to avoid sus-
picion they have very few subscriptions
and have II arranged SO that subscribers
read the articles aloud to groups NJ in
ternees and they also take turns and the
subscriber passes his copy from one in
ternee to another
The demand is so great I recall an
instance where one internee asked sub
scriber to loan him his copy of the Ma
ton and the subscriber told him he
couldn't do so Immediately because there
had been FIVE applications ahead of him"

necessary to clean out crap shooting
games in the Jersey railroad chicken
yards One day last week he broke up
game whore the stakes ran from
5000 to $1,000. The dice throwers as
a rule are composed OF drivers. chicken
pullers and men in charge of cars bring
ing the chickens from the West. Much
OF the money that goes into these
games comes from the proceeds Of stolen
chickens.
Mr. BOYLE recently demonstrated To his
entire satisfaction that n saloon keeper
doing business in the Horseshoe section
of Jersey city had among his customers
lot of men under suspicion of being
implicated in the disappearance Of live
chickens. The saloon keeper had a
poultry market next to his Einmll.
Mr.. Boyle called upon the proprietor to
show the source OF his supply. The
man simply replied that he bought and
sold chickens for cash and didn't keep
any hooks. The agent stipulated that
he install set of books Immediately and
report regularly concerning his pur-
chases and sales. 1t is said that the
saloon keeper poultry dealers trade has
greatly dropped of since Mr.. Boyle be-
gan TO regulate his business
All the West Washington Market men
who have suffered losses from the
depredations OF poultry thieves in the
past are delighted with Mr., Boyle's
success "in doing the impossible" as
they call 1t. while crooked employees
he has had occasion to steer from the
error of their ways are still swapping
