SPIES LANDED IN
j. S. BY U-BOATS

Warning that German U-boats may
be landing agents on our shores, was
heard today.
Crews from U-boats are believed to
have visited New York, Philadelphia,
and even Washington with their ears
attuned to any bit OF information that
would be useful in Germany.
The extreme length Of the American
coast line makes IL almost impossible
to prevent landings at night from the
collapsible boats carried by submer-
sibles. 1t would be possible for
enemy agents to move about for days
and be picked up again at some de-
serted point by a prearranged plan
Necessity, therefore, for careful
guarding of Americas war secrets is
even greater now, officials say.
Tho Navy Department, however. Is
rapidly increasing its activities against
the U-boats apd the fact that no out
ward bound transports have been sunk
despite the efforts Of the U-boats. Is
taken here as proof that the navy Is
'ion the job"
Saw Sly Ashore
While 1t has long been expected that
the U-boat crews would attempt to land
on this side, first evidence that they
had reached shore waSsseen in the re-
port of officers OF a torpedoed ship who
reported to Navy officials that they
had seen the U-boat commander who
sank them in a New York saloon. Of
ficials are at a loss, however. to explain
why the submarine officer was permit
ted to escape.
At least three Of the larger type sub
marines reached this side OF the At
lantic II Is believed. They are about
800 feet long and carry two guns and
score Of torpedoes. One was
equipped to cut cables. These 'under-
sea raiders have a cruising radius of
1900 miles and are probably able to
stay out longer by taking supplies
from vessels they attack.
Scatter Mines-
Mines scattered by the U-boats are
believed to have sunk the armored
cruiser San Diego and several mer-
chant vessels.
Germany probably has 16o to $50
U-boats in service now. Estimates
here agree with those OF Lloyd
George that about $50 submarines are
definitely known to have been sunk.
1t is possible that actual sinkings
have reached the 200 mark, although
there is no positive proof as to at
least fifty OF these alleged sinkings.
Before the war Germany had about
40 U-boats.

boy and his father wanted him to 90 to work. But alas! he did not like to go co work and became an idler, a loafer, and wanted more money than his fond mother could give him, and he would not work and earn it, and naturally dfifted to stealing, for which he was ire quently arrested and became a nuisance in the neighborhood.,
 His poor mother couldnot.stand the worry, grief and humiliation; she died of a broken heart. After her death, their home was broken up and the boy was sent to re- formatory. This kept him out of trouble for a while.
 After being released from the reformatory, he would work occa- sionally, but got in the habit ot drinking and became so weakened that he could not keep at any work for any length of time, but he had to satisfy his cravings for whisky. and would steal again to get it and go 10 jail for a time. This happened so frequently that he got hardened to it and lost sence of shame and did not think it a disgrace.
 One cold Saturday evening in mid-winter, drunk and without money, he met a poor colorod man coming from work. It being Sat- urday, he knew that he had a weeks wages with him. He did not intend to kill the man, but he assaulted and robbed him of his money, twelve dollars, all he had. The man did not recover, he had killed him! He was tried. found guilty, and executed.
 There was not a friend to mourn, to shed a tear, or say a kind word for him. This is what happened to a boy that had his own way and could do as he pleased.
 THINK THIS OVER WELL.

Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Gili- ad, Ohio: The editor had an in- teresting experience some time ago, when a young gentleman came to this office and asked for a copy of the Morrow County Re publican. He scrutinized it care fully when a cody was handed him, and then said: 'Now 1 know!" What is it you are look ing for" we inquired. My wife sent me after a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. and 1 forgot the name. 1 went to sev- eral stores and the clerks named over everything in the line on the shelf except 'Chamberlain's. I'll try again, and I'll never go home without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" The Republican would suggest to the proprietors of stores, that they post their clerks, and never let substitute. Gus toners lose faith in stores where substituting is permitted, to say nothing of the injustice to makers of good goods and the disappoint- ment of customers. Adv.

NEW DRAFT
 CLASSIFICATION.

Washington, D. C., March T. 'Re-classifcation according to physical condition of the men call ed in the next army draft is pro vided in revised instructions for medical advisory boards which are being sent to the local boards throughout the country. The new regulations, made public tonight require that every man summon ed before the board, shall be placed in one of the following four classes:
 (A) Acceptable for general mil itary service.
 (B) Acceptable for general mil itary service after being cured of remedial defect.
 co Acceptable for general mil itary service in a specified capa- city or occupation.
 (D) Rejected and exempted from any military service.
 Itis the intention of the provost marshal general to provide later for the further investigation and classification of the men accepta- ble for limited or special service so that records may be made of the sort of work each of these men may be assigned to do with out endangering his health.
 Under the new regulations many ailments and defects, which gained exemption of draft men in the past now will result only in their being listed in group B. Such men if they choose, will be given the privilege of securing the services of their family physi- elan in the effort to remove the defect, but if they have not avail ed themselves of this privilege within a specified time, they will be called into military service and ordered to a contonment base hos pital, a reconstruction hospital or to a civic hospital as may be des- ignated by the surgeon general.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF APACHE COUNTY
MARCH IA, 1918.
What Became of a Little Boy Who Was Allowed to Have His Own Way.
 SELECTED.
SELECTED.

Boys did you ever take time to think what would become of you if you always had your own way? If you did not have to do any thing you did mot wish to do: if you did not have to go to school: if you could stay out at night as late as you pleased: if there were no restrictions of any kind: if your fond mother always took your part when you misbehaved, did something mean to your play mates. This true story will tell you what became of such a boy, and what may be your fate if you were placed in his position by be- Ing allowed to have your own way.
 Some years ago an epidemic of diphtheria was raging causing the death of many children, and the doctors were helpless. In some families two or three would die within a few hours of each other.
 In the suburbs of Baltimore there lived a family with three children, two boys and one girl. The little girl had died and one boy was at the point of death. The third, Little Willie" was also taken sick. The parents were wild with grief: lamenting and praying that at least little Willie, the sweetest of them all should be saved.
 The father went into the gar den and all alone under an apple tree prayed and called upon the Lord to save little Willie. When he had prayed for some time he heard as if it were voice from heaven. that Willie would not die. /"
 He went back into the house rejoicing and told his wife that he had a message from God, and that Willie would live. Willie did not die, but his poor father lived long enough to see his dear little son arrested and convicted of a crime for which he paid with life. This is how it came about:
 His mother was so thankful that the good Lord had spared her this child, that she fairly idolized him and his every wish was gratifed. She did all that she could to make him happy. Never crossed him in anything he desired. If she asked him to do an errand or something for her and did not feel like doing so, it was all right; she never insisted on making him do anything he did not wish to do, letting him have his own way about everything. When he want ed a penny and it was refused, he only had to cry and he would get two. AS he grew older pennies would not suffice, he had to have dimes to satisfy his cravings for cigarettes.
 When the time came for him to attend school he was not compel led to go if he did not feel like going. He could stay away and play or do what he pleased, So he learned to do little or nothing at school.
 He was now getting to be a big
