Three Men Taken
In Espionage Raid
Near Aviation Field
Two Houses and Hotel Are
Entered by Government
Agents at Hampstead

HEMPSTEAD, L. L., Aug. ls-Secret
Service men. backed by military police
detailed from Camp Mills, raided a
hotel and two private houses overlook
ing Mitchell Aviation Field early this
morning and arrested three men on
charges of violation of the espionage
act
Carrier pigeons are said to have been
observed flying from one of the houses
IN the direction Of Fire Island. and it
IS suspected the birds may have been
used to relay messages to U-boat COM
manders, whose seanen readily could
reach the shore in collapsble boat.
In one of the other places visited was
found, it is said, a German officers
uniform, and in the third was room
decorated with a single picture which
was draped with the German flag.
When the flag was removed portrait
OF the Kaiser was revealed.
The raid WAS conducted with great
secrecy and the charges against the
men were shrouded in mystery. The
government detectives intimated. how
ever, that the arrests we're considered
OF prime Importance. 1t is believed
that the men were taken to the Ray
mond Street jail, Brooklyn. and will
be arraigned in that borough to-mor-
row before United States Commits
siOner
The raid revived rumors that two
men had been caught tampering with
motors of aeroplanes on Mitchell Field
Officers in charge Of the raid would
not comment on these rumors or upon
the fact that some had connected them
with the arrests.
Earlier rumors said that, following
the discovery that the enemy was seek
ing to disable acroplane motors, new
inquiry had been ordered into recent
aeroplanc accidents dating bacl, to the
death here of Captain Resnati, of the
Italian army, early last month.

Notice
To Tribune Readers
And Others

The newsdealers war on
Hearst papers begins to-day.
Nobody can say for sure what
will happen at first. The Amer
ran News Company has adopt
ID for one day at least, an
rnexpected attitude. 1t will
n,etend that nothing has hap
n,ned, and deliver all papers
as usual. But this means that in
addition to all the other papers
i will deliver Hearst papers to
newsdealers who have cancelled
their orders and do not want
them and will not pay for them.
Obviously this is temporary
line of defence.
The American News Company
buys the morning newspapers
from the publishers in bulk at
one price and resells them in
parcels to the newsdealers.
When the newsdealers re-
solved to stop selling the Hearst
papers and to begin their war
in Brooklyn Monday morning,
the other publishers. except those
Of The Tribune. notified the
American News Company that
they were going to stand by
Hearst and instructed it to with
hold their papers from all deal
ers who refused to handle
Hearst's s. Thereupon the Amer
ican News Company announced
on Saturday that other morn
ing newspapers would be sold
only to newsdealers who con-
tinued to handle the Hearst
papers as usual. Nevertheless.
the Brooklyn newsdealers, who
had agreed to begin the war,
sent to the American News
Company Saturday their can
cellatione on The New York
American, to take effect Mon
day morning.
Then the news company for
some reason changed its mind
and gave out word that all
newsdealers would be served
with all newspapers as usual this
morning and that the cancella-
tons received from anti-Hearst
dealers would be ignored. So,
all through Brooklyn this morn
ing New York Americans

who have discontinued to buy
them. What the newsdealers
will do with them remains to be
seen.

the newsdealers.

from the newsdealers but from
the newsboys.
