German Army.

Des Moines, Jan. pa dispatch
from Washington today says:
Washington papers today print a
story of how German spies In France
are keeping track of movements Of the
rainbow division of which the old
Third Iowa is part.
German airplanes for days have OBJ
served the camp of the rainbow divi-
sion.
1t was decided to move five miles
east by south on a certain morning.
Supposedly this was secret. The
night before the movement, German
airplanes flew low over the camp and
dropped bags, which, when opened,
contained greetings and wished the
Americans a pleasant time moving
through the mud next morning to their
new camp, five miles east by south. !"
A spy search proved ineffective. It
was disclosed, however, that the same
thing had happened before to other
allied organizations.
