Washington, March 2.--(Specialo
Uncle Sam can have the services
of a perfectly good spy if he wants
him. Peter Rivers, II years old, OF
Maple Lake, Mimi, says so.
Writing 20 United States Marine
corps headquarters, Peter said
among other things: 'I'm too young
to be sea soldier, but ] can be the
best spy YOU most ever saw. Send
me along spy's badge and a Colts
as and I'll 60 right to work. I've
read history and my only regret is
that / haven't nine lives like cat
so that I could give them all to my
country"
In expressing appreciation of
Peters offer of service, the ma
rine corps authorities advised him to
keep on playing Hi Spy" with the
boys of Maple Lake several years
longer befole tackling the business
seriously.

IN COMM ERCIAL
EXPERTS ABROAD
Work Of Representatives Of
State Department in Search
ing for Tonnage viii Help
Materially After War.
BY Associated Press,

Washington, March 2.-In its
search for ship tonnage to aid in de.
feating the central powers the United
States is building up the largest force
of commercial experts which ever has
been stationed in foreign countries.
Primarily the work of the CONNER
cial representatives of the State de-
partment, the Department of Com
merce and the AYR Trade board will
have to do with the war, but in CO.
operating with the government and
business leaders of other nations, they
will spread a knowledge of American
products and trale ideals that officials
expect will increase Americas COM
merce after the war.
Completion of the foreign staff OF
the aWr Trade board is being pushed
as rapidly as possible, it was said to-
day, so that early results may be had
from the governments decision to put
every available ship to war purposes
by restricting trade to necessities
The State department also is sending
special representatives to countries
which will be affected by the licensing
of imports into the United States and
commercial attaches of the Depart
ment of Commerce are assisting in
the work.
Much Work Ahead.
The War Trade board experts will
have three principal duties. To pre-
vent goods reaching Germany and to
rlease as much tonnage as possible.
They now have been stationed in
London, Paris, Berne, Scandinavia,
Rio Janerio, Buenos Aires and Toxic.
Estimates of the tonnage expected
to be put into transatlantic service
by restricting trade with South Amer
lea and the far eas, arte being guard
ed closely by the shipping board and
war trade board as likely to be OF
military value to the enemy, in indi-
eating the size of the army which
this country hoped to put in Europe.

eBy Associated Press. J

Washington, March 2.--Members OF
state organizations, affiliated with the
National German-American alliance,
defended the alliance against charges
of disloyalty today before senate
subcommittee and maintained the
right OF, state alliances to political
activity. The committee is holding a
hearing on the bill by Senator King
of Utah, to revoke the charter of the
alliance and close the affairs of its
state organization. ..,.....
Theodore 'Sutro of New York, for
mer president of the New York state
alliance, disclaimed responsibility of
the organization for utterances of in
dividual members and repudiated
statements of DR.. c. ]. Hexamer of
Philadelphia, former president.
Society Heads Foolish.
presidents of societies are often
very foolish" Mr.. Sutro declared,
when asked by Senator King if he
approved an utterance attributed to
DR.. Hexamer in a speech in Milwau-
kee in 1915, that the alliance was of
such political power that it could
dominate communities where it was
we'll organized.
Pro-German articles appearing in
the official bulletin of the alliance
were repudiated by Sutro, who de-
clared the alliance should not be
held to account for what appeared
in the publication.
1--WE are at war against German
war and not against German peace
and German achievements" Mr.. Sutro
said. He added that he did not SUBJ
scribe to the German view of large
standing armies, nor did he believe
in the idea of non-assimilation of Ger
man immigrants. However, he
thought it improper for Americans to
ask persons Of German birth to deny
their ancestry.
Defends Alliance.
1t is proper for the organization to
declare itself in political affairs, he
asserted, and he expressed the belief
that it was not improper for the Or
ganization to oppose and aid in de-
feating prohibition in the several
states. He also did not believe it i'm
proper for the organization in local
communities to oppose candidates for
school boards who did not favor
teaching German, because he believed
it advantageous to students to have
knowledge of two languages.

JAIL AWAITS THEM.
The secretary's action was in ans
wer to requests from employers and
civic organizations of Seattle, and
other cities that the department un-
dertake the wholesale internment of
Industrial Workers Of the World,
who were blamed for industrial un-
rest, particularly in the logging
camps. Mr.. Wilson held that member
ship in the Industrial Workers of the
World organization was not in itself
cause for arrest, or deportation, but
that alien industrial workers, or any
other aliens, who preach overthrow OF
the government by force, or who are
in any other manner subject them
selves to deportation, under the inmi-
grafton laws, should be taken into Gus
todya at once.
DEPARTMENT TO HELP.
The department stands ready to
support the round up of anarchistic
agitators by supplying funds to OBJ
tain additional quarters if the Seattle
station proves inadequate for intern
ing them. =.
Orders for the suppression of radi-
cal propaganda by aliens are regard
ed by officials as the final step in the
governments determination to put
stop TO extremists who seek to inter-
fere with the prosecution OF the war
from motives sincere or otherwise.
Citizens of the United States who
preach anarchy will be handled by
the Department of Justice, which
brought about the arrest of scores OF
Industrial Workers OF the Worlds in
the nation wide raids last year.
Secretary Wilson's order was is.
sued with a personal knowledge OF
the situation in the northwets. AS
chairman of the presidents mediation
commission, he investigated the url-
rest in the lumber camps and saw
mills last fall and succeeded in quiet
ing the situation to marked degree.
Ruling BY Secretary.
An order was issued by the secre-
tary to immigration officers at Seattle
to proceed at once in accordance with
the following ruling:
"First-That we will not arrest, de-
tain or deport any alien simply for
Joining the Industrial Workers OF the
World.
"Second-That we will arrest and
detain, until we can deport, any alien,
whether member of the Industrial
Workers of the World or not, who is
found advocating or teaching the un-
lawful destruction of property, of ad-
yocating or teaching anarchy or the
overthrow by force or violence of the
government of the United States or
of all forms Of law, or the assassina-
tion of pubic officials, or who is in
other manner subject to deportation
under the immigration laws, even
though he may not commit any overt
act.
"Third-If the quarters at the Sc
attle station are not ample to take
care of all who may be arrested and
detained for deportation under these
instructions, the commissioner at Sc
attle will be authorized to secure ad-
ditional quarters"
Agitation for the internment of
alien members of the Industrial
Workers of the World in Washington
state has been widespread since labor
troubles in the logging camps, which
interfered with the governments air
craft program were blamed on the
Industrial Workers of the World.
Civic organizations and employers
urged the establishment of deten
ton camp at Puget Sound to ac-
commodate 5000 men.

ming to themselves the rank and file

How the tide Ia running 10 clearly in
dicated by the troubles In Austria
Hungary, where the strikers and DEM
onstrators belonged in the main to
the two dominating races Of the Dual
Monarchy. the Germans Of Austria and
the Magyars Of Hungary. The race
problems of this patchwork empire,
the oppression Of the Slavs, Italians
and Rumanians by the Germans and
Magyars, has suddenly faded into the
background before the specter Of a
class war In which the oppressed
proletariats Of the dominant races
themselves threaten to rise against
their masters. No doubt whatever Is
expressed In the quarter where the
material for this story was obtained
that Austria Hungary will soon follow
Russia and be in the throes of a
sical democratic revolution.
The moral of all this for America
and the allies Is clear We have only
to hold out, to bring all conceivable
military pressure TO bear upon our
enemies, and to make clear by every
possible political method to the mass
es Of the enemy countries that our
aims are liberal and the same as their
own; that We desire to rid them Of
their masters, and to inaugurate a
regime OF peace and justice. II We
do these things, we will win the war.
And, in my opinion. which is based
upon very many facts that may not
write, We will win 1t in q surprisingly
short time. II four months ago any
