.LUEBBERS' CASE IS
OF INTEREST HERE.
Dangerous Enemy Alien Arrest
ed In Baltimore Was Former
Resident Of County.
ORGANIZED FARMERS.
Residents Of Woodwardville Sec
ton Suspected Purposes Of
Apparently Harmless
Association.
Association.

The arrest and internment for the
period of the war of William Luebbers,
a former resident of Anne Arundel
County, as a dangerous enemy alien,
has caused considerable interest in
this locality because Of some of the
activities of the man prior to the en-
trance of this country into the war.
Luebbers was arrested early this
week at his apartments in Baltimore,
being taken into custody by federal
officers assisted by members of the
Baltimore Police Force. The arrest
was made after Luebbers' activities
had been under close investigation for
several months, and his associations
had aroused the suspicious of the gov
ernment.
When living in Anne Arundel some
years ago the man, who is an un
usually strong German type, conduct
ed a large and modernly equipped
farm in the Woodwardville section of
the Fourth District There was moth
ing particularly suspicious in connec-
ton with his activities in his home
neighborhood until he attempted the
organizat.Cl OF The PatuXent Pro-
gressive Farmers and Dairymen's
Club" Shortly after this organization
was launched there came to the press
of Annapolis complaints and hints
from residents of the neighborhood
that the intentions of the moving spirit
in its organization were not as in
nocent as might seem on the surface,
and it was pointed out that there were
a large number of German-born resi-
dents of the section on its rolls. Com
munications to the press kept limiting
at ulterior motives on the part of
Luebbers and the organization failed
to finally get together on a working
basis.
Later on there came hints of mar
ital difficulties in the Luebbers' fam
lily, and as a climax TO the difficulties,
Luebbers closed out his farming in
terests in the county and moved to
Baltimore. Prior to his leaving there
was a public sale of personal prop
erty at the Woodwardville farm which
is still talked of among the residents
of the neighborhood. The furnish
ings of the farm house, many of which
were sold for a mere song were un-
usually handsome and massive. In
addition. there was a library of books
of reference on subjects the depth of
which proved far too much for those
who looked over them with an idea of
purchasing.

LOOKS BRIGHT FOR
FEDERAL ROAD AID.
Senator Smiths Bill Given Boost
Following Inspection By
Army Officers.

Following an inspection by Major
Kane and Captain Grimes, of the
Regular Army, yesterday of the roads
in several sections of Maryland, there
has been a big boost in the move of
Senator John Walter Smith to have
the Federal Government assume a part
of the repair of State highways which
have been sadly damaged 10y heavy
army trucks.
Both army officers were much i'm
pressed with the damage and realize
that the State and the counties should
not be called upon 20 stand the burden
OF repairing and maintaining the
roads.
There was a marked increase yes
terlay in activities in behalf of SEN
ator Smiths bill appropriating SEQ
000, 600 to lie used by the War De
partment to repair highways which
have been damaged hy the army
trucks, Senator Boise Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, member of the Senate
Committee on Appropriations. gave
out statement favoring the bill.
Senator Joseph l. France. of Mary
land, also got to work among his col
leagues. o. f. Weller, former chair
man of the Roads Commission, went
to Washington and told friends in the
Senate that the government should
do something to prevent Maryland 5
splendid highway system from being
utterly ruined.
Il am particularly impressed with
the Importance, urgency and justice
of the bills said Senator PenrOse,
"as / frequently have occasion to take
the trip over the Lincoln Highway
from Washington, through Maryland
to Philadelphia A year ago this road
was in excellent condition and the
trip could easily be made in less than
five hours. Now conditions are COM
pletely changed. Unless the roads are
repaired the transportation of mill
tary supplies by motor vehicles must
be seriously hampered The govern
ment cannot afford to permit them to
get into such a condition. Neither
can the States be expected, nor are
they able, to defray all the expense
necessary to the repair of the roads"

W., B. & A. RAILWAY
LOOP DISCUSSED
Washington Chamber Of Com
merce Asked To Oppose
Loop In That City.

At the April meeting of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce there
was a lively discussion of the pros
posal TO loop the cars of the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Elec-
trio Line around the block bordered
by II street, 18th street and New York
avenue which was the feature of the
business session.
c. j. James moved that the Cham
Der oppose the loop, on the ground
that il would obstruct II street, now
the principal thoroughfare for motor
lists through the business section.
After the motion had been debated for
more than thirty minutes the. matter
was referred to the public utilities
committee.
Frank Metzerott stated that the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
line is planning to spend more than a
million dollars on the erection of
terminal for it's cars in Baltimore, and
he could see no reason why it should
not build a terminal in Washington.
Mr.. Metzerott asserted that the COM
pany wants the loop around Masonic
Temple for the purpose of sidetrack-
ing its cars in H street They never
will build a terminal here if they can
use public street for car space, he
said
Albert Schulteis suggested that the
company be required to take its cars
OFF H street altogether and build line
of its own through X street and es-
tablish its Washington terminal in the
vicinity of 5th or 9Th streets, north

of the American woman as an or an
ilcr IN the realm OF finance that ras
amazed not only the men but the wo-
men as well In an article in the
April Harper's Weekly Mrs. John +.
Pratt describes this development in
these graphic words
1t is nearly a year since the Secre-
tary of the Treasury appointed the
first Woman's Liberty Loan Commit
tee TO cooperate with the Mems Com
mittec with the growth of the YEAR
behind us, We do not mind tellinv how
few of these women really knew what
bond was: how few OF them had
ever heard that the paper money
which thed carried i'm their pockets
was government bond i'm almost
every respect like the new government
bond except that it did not pay inter
est But from the day these women
began TO read what il said on their
paper money, and began to ask quos-
tions about bonds and their relation
to life,to government and to war, they
saw their opportunity and measured
up to it,
They learned their first lesson in
economics so quickly that before two
weeks had passed the call to buy
bonds, had changed to the triple call
to buy bonds, sell bonds, finance the
loan. The record of that campaign
was record of real achievement but
the Women's Committee regarded it
rather as an education
when the second campaign opened,
ii found the Woman's Committee or
ganized and active, and before the end
of four weeks of work the Committee
of the Second Federal Reserve Dis
trict alone had TO it's credit over forty
million dollars worth of sales
Now that the Third Liberty loan has
begun even greater things are expect
ed of the woman and we feel sure she
will measure up to these expectations.
Mrs. Pratt thus fifty closes her arti-
Gle: There is no woman in the coun-
try who cannot help through her
clubs, through her churches, through
her friends and her servants. Every
body has equipment of one kind or
another-money, brains. skill, energy,
or leisure. Each and every one of
these can be put to the service of the
Liberty Loan. The rich woman can
buy more bonds: the energetic woman
can sell bonds; the woman of leisure
can earn bonds. In as big an enter
prise as this, it is not a few women
with large fortunes who can help. but
millions of women helping each in her
own way"
