Major Barney of the recruiting sta

Altho he is well qualified by age,
previous experience and position to be
favorably considered for a commission

that he was going in like anyone else
and would take a chance on advanc-
ment. Moreover, he said he wanted
to get into the infantry, where the
fighting was best."-Denver Post.

member of the firm of Hillyer & Wes:
and his friends in Lamar have known
some time that he would answer his
country's call just as soon as an op-
portunity offered.

JAMES R.BELT,
D. G. ATHLETE,
DIES IN ACTION
Death on French Battle
field Comes to Another
Washingtonian.

Death in France has come to an
other Washington boy, James Russell
Belt. of sos Seward square southeast,
according to advices received here
through a letter from one OF his COM
rades.
The news is now confirmed by the
War Department. though his name has
not as yet appeared in any of the cas-
ualty lists.
Official Notice Delayed.
His family last evening stated that
they had received no official notice of
his death, but inquiry at the War De-
partment revealed the fact that a
soldier of this name living in Seward
square had been reported to them as
dead. The department believes that
he has given his life for his country.
The Mohawk Club. of which Belt was
member, is preparing to add a gold
star to their service flag in his honor.
James Russell Belt lived in the
southeast all his life. He attended
the Creamer and waIlach schools.
and later Business High School.
Here he became identified with the
local cadets, and got his first taste
of military life. Later he Joined
the National Guard, and served on
the border under Pershing, with the
Third District Infantry.
He embarked for France with the
Rainbow Division last December to
take up arms again under the lead
ership of the man with whom he
fought in Mexico.
Young Belt was well known as an

900, 100000 Worth of

Amazing figures on the munitions
supplies already delivered to the
United States army and also con-
tracted for were given today by Col.
Samuel McRoberts. chief Of the pro-
curement division of the ordnance ~
reau.
Here are some q tlPe figures he
furnished to a startled audience at
tending a meeting of the National
Security League today:
Contracts have been let for $500, 900
rifles Of the modified Enfield design;
1,O5O.O0O have been delivered on these
contracts.
Springfield rifles are being produced
at the rate of 1850 per day. Six
hundred thousand already are on
hand.
The United States is conducting the
greatest rifle manufacture ever known
and there is now an excess over i'm
mediate needs.
Contracts have ben let for S7o.-
600, 900 worth of shells of all cal
ibres.
Powder plants are turning out
65O.OOO,OOO pounds of explosives.
Smokeless powder is being pro-
duced by two plants at the rate OF
100000 pounds a day.
Five million shells were turned
out last month. This program how.
ever is disappointing and is due &c

GERMAN SPIES
WORK IN CUBA
Arrests Expected of Hun
Agents in Havana in
Touch with Berlin.

A new center of German espion-
age and intrigue has been discov-
cred by the United States secret
service and a number of arrests are
momentarily expected. 1t is in
Havana, Cuba, where renegade
Latin-Americans, under the direc-
ton of Germans, have been spying
on military preparations and moves
in the United States.
The news has been forwarded to
Spain by mail and then sent to
Berlin by wireless. Through the
good offices of the Cuban govern
ment a letter from a Latin in New
York to a commercial house in
Havana was intercepted. and when
decoded it told the entire story.
United States has established
transport sailing point at -" was
it's substance, although ostensibly
the communication dealt with a
consignment of clocks. The port 1t
mentioned is one that has been used
as a port of embarkation by the
Government.
Further Investigation revealed that
the principal operating points in the
United States by the Latin-Gernanic
spies were Key West, Tampa and
New York.
The information they gathered
would have been especially useful to
Germany because of the recent trade
agreement between this country and
Spain, whereby we were to ship her
numerous commodities in return for
certain supplies to, be sent 70 the
American expediionary forces in
France. This would necessarily in
crease American sailings to Spanish
ports and information concerning
these would have given the subma-
rines their chance.
Another feature of the discovery
that is interesting to State Depart
ment officials is the knowledge that
Germany is attempting espionage
through the employment Of disaftected
neutrals or traitorous belligerents, in
stead of her own countrymen.
