FOUR ALLEGED ENEMIES
MAY BE INTERNED
Army Officers Continue to Seek
Evidence in Case.

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash,
Feb. 25.-Whether four Austridns
of the National army accused OF
threatening to shoot their officers
and betraying their comrades TO the
enemy at the first opportunity in
TNlncc will be interned on treason
charge, depends largely on the out
come of an investigation by the
Judge advocates Office, it was an
nouncCd today.
At the time OF arrest, the officers
recommended that the men be in
termed because OF insufficient evl-
dence for courtmartial trial. In the
meantime, further investigation is
being made, and army officers said
they expected that sufficient evil
dence would be obtained to make a
decision concerning disposition on
the case.
Pro-German and Industrial
Workers of the World activities in
the Pacific Northwest are conSid-
cred by the Camp Lewis Judge ad-
vocate's Office to be the most serious
of any district in the country.

WEALTHY WOMEN GAMBLING
Thousands Of Dollars Lost At Lu
urious Gambling Houses

New York, Feb. 1.-Luxurfou
gambling establishments known to
be freQuented BY wealthy women and
located in fashionable residential sec
tions are to be investigated through
taking of testimony in open court ses-
sions. it was announced today by the
district attorneys Office. The inquiry
is expected to be begun next week.
Information in the prosecutors
possession, according to an assistant
district attorney, shows that the wife
OF one prominent New Yorker lost
$4,000 within two hours in one of
these places.
On the upper West Side there are
more than 40 splendidly. appointed
gambling places to which women mo-
tor every afternoon, taking their ped
igreed dogs with them as mascots,
and are served with tea and often
stronger beverages while they en-
gage in games of chance, according to
the district attorneys information.
Evidence that the proprietors are
guilty of crooked practices will be
adduced at the inquiry, it was said.
"Pedigreed dogs" Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Smith declared, "are
said to be regarded as mascots by the
feminine gamblers. The story reach
ing me today is that the women Of
ten bet their heads off if they think
their pet Pomeranian is mascotting
successfully against the mascotting of
another woman's pet Pekinese or per-
haps another's formidable English
bull dog"

CLEVER RUsE TO CATH THIEF
Greenwood Officer Mixes Confetti
With Cotton Seed

Greenwood Officer Mixes Confetti
With Cotton Seed
Greenwood Journal:
George Moore, a well-known col
ored farmer of the Hodges section,
has discovered a real use for confetti,
the fluffy stuff that is used by gay
crowds at carnivals, circuses and
county fairs. at the suggestion Of
Rural Policeman w. ]. NJ Anderson.
II came about in this way:
Since last fall George has been
missing quantities of seed cotton, but
there was. as they say in criminal
annals, 'absolutely no clue" Mr.
Anderson tried to locate the thief and
others made -he same attempt time
after time. The rural policemen then
got his thinking apparatus to work
ing good and hard and he suggested
to George that he put something in
the cotton to identify it-make
it individualistic, so to speak. George
next moved his thoughts from tlfe
general groove, the one which traces
criminals by tracks, ETC., and the
happy idea struck him that the con-
fetti was the thing. 1t is not stated
where he got the confetti, but he got
it and he mixed it in with his cotton.
Mr.. Anderson thought little more
and decided that the thief was, of
course. selling the cotton and he re-
called that Mr.. Bogerro occasionally
bought seed cotton and he went to his
place this moring and found an as
sortment of red, white and blue sta
pie, which the officer is sure belongs
to George Moore. Mr. Bogerro, of
course purchased the cotton under
the impression that the negro who
sold it to him was doing the right
thing.
| Mr.. Anderson estimates that as
much as 500 pounds of the cotton has
been stolen. Lucius Starke, a negro,
IS suspected. The officer says that he
will make the arrest this afternoon.

With the American Army In
France. Jan. 31.-Lasf night wxs
fairly quiet Throughout the American
sector. Tho usual number Of shells
came over, doing no damage. and
there was the customary sporadic
outburst Of machine gun hre from
both sides at points where the oppos-
ing lines are nearest.
At daybreGk this morning the
heavy fog which had been enveloping
the whole position and the country
for miles around for several days be-
came still and three muffled reports
sounded through the foe. There
were three whistles. followed quickly
by three shell bursts. The Pre- 'ectiles
exploded on three sides of an Ameri-
can listening post just outside the
wire within 45 feet OF an enemy list

Then hell broke loose, said one
of the men there. For Is minutes
the enemy broke hundreds Of high
explosive IT'S around the post and the
surrounding ground. cutting OF the
men there. Two Of them were kill
ed in the first few minutes. Another
man who was at the post told the
correspondent later, as he was lying
on cot in a field hospital. that he
saw four Germans approaching out Of
the fog as the barrage lifted. He
brought his automatic rifle into play
and saw two of the Germans fall. He
kept on firing until shell plinters hit
him in the head and arm.
THE last I remember in the time
before I reached the hospital" said
another wounded man, 'is seeing
something moving through the fog
determined to get some Germans
and put my rife to my shoulder, but
never pulled the trigger. There was
a deafening explosion behind. Fro
zen earth. ice, stones and shell splint
ers came my way"
Inspection of the scene of the raiG
showed that the ground was ploughet
up by the explosion of shells.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
 1.-THE FIGHTING PARSON.'

The following letter was written to his friends at Helena by Lieutenant Rives, the Fighting Parson, who is now, Somewhere in France It will be of interest to many Newport people
 Camp Dix, N. J., Dear Folks:
 T think l gave you notice of my arrival in camp, bare notice on a postal card. We made remarkable trip from Camp Pike, leaving there at three o'clock on Saturday and reaching here at nine Monday night. Up to the momentt of our arrival there had not been moment of un- pleasant experience. But we unload ed at the station here to find that our coming had not been planned for, and we were strangers in strange land. By ten clock we had found a guide who professed to know what
Newport daily independent., 1918-07-30

part of the camp we were to occupy and with our battalion in marching order we began what proved to be an all nights search for our area. Part of the maneuver was tragic; part decidedly comical. The band headed the line and played with all the en- thusiasm the men could command. Somewhere about two o'clock, after we had followed that mutton headed guide up and down the length of the camp two or three times, the band suddenly struck up an unusually live lv tune, and there poured forth from the barracks an innumerable host of dusky warriors clad in the night air, thinking that Berlin had fallen and that the celebration had started be- fore day-break. Just as day was dawning we halted in section through which we had marched some twenty times during the night, and the guide said that he recognized our area by the day light. A bad start it was, but since then things have gone pretty well with us.
 How do the camps compare? We'll, this one is much larger than Camp Pike, but it is by no means so nlce. In the first place it is poorly laid out. You can get lost anywhere and when you are lost nobody can tell you where you are and how to get where you want to go. Nor is the camp so we'll kept as Camp Pike. No efforts have been made to beautify the grounds. The base hospital is a shame. Inside and out it is dirty and unattractive. And the dust is un- hearable at times. Since we haNs been here the wind has been blowing all the time during the day, and the sand sweeps across the parade grounds in clouds. We thought this feature of Camp Pike was bad, but it does not compare with this. At noon today my Bible on my table looked as if it hadn't been opened fcH month or more. Now, you know l read my Bible. Yesterday it rained all morning, quitting about noon; at three in the afternoon the dust was blowing everywhere. The parade grounds redeem the camp. They are as big as all the state of Texas. One day twenty thousand men were form ed into a great Liberty Bell, and they looked like little speck on the field. It is three miles from one end to the other. There are times when it seems longer. On July 4th we double quicked the length of the pa- rade grounds, and when we finished was all in. The formations are wonderful here, as there is room for anything they want to pull off.
 This reminds me that l have been in battle. For several days we have
