Filipinos Play Flute with Nose.

1t is not an uncommon spectacle to
see a negro play harmonica with his
nostrils. Among the Filipinos a flute
is never played in any other way, and
1t would create much surprise in that
country to see man play flute with
the mouth. These nose-futists can
play the ordinary music with ease, but
fast ragtime is too much for them.

gave a few pointers on the food
proposition. Mr.. McAdams, the

they were men, money and spirit

most Of all, for if our spirit is
not in this war we will never
win. J. F. Drummer of Markville,
gave a short talk on Thrift
Stamps and told us to encourage

this we certainly should do, as it
encourages the child to save as
well as helps the government.

MAN TRAILED FOR

MlSSloNED A CAPTAIN IN THE
UNITED STATES ARMY.

Columbus, O., April 4--Trailed as a
spy suspect for two years by depart
ment of justice agents, George r.
Rottweiler, vice-president and man
ager of a local motorcycle manufac-
turing company, was jailed at Roch
ester, ~ Y, shortly after he had been
commissioned a captain in the United
States army, it was learned here to-
day. Ills companion and employee,
Frank ii. Newhburt, a skilled me-
chanic, was arrested and Jailed at the
same time, it was learned.
Both men, according to the infor-
nation, are held upon a technical
charge for investigation of their citi-
zenship. Both are said to be sub
Jects of Germany and have failed to
register under provisions of the alien
enemy act. Rottweiler first came un-
der the surveillance Of the depart
ment of justice agents two years ago
when Chicago woman friend of his.
unguardedly is said to have remarked
to her employer that "Rotty" was a
paid agent of the German govern
ment
In n spirit of boastfulness the
woman is alleged to have added that
'he had mapped the st. Lawrence
river for Germany and that he had
concealed explosives in the bank OF
the river for the use of the Ger

port also asserted that the production
of fighting planes was tagging be-
cause of lack of cooperation be-
tween departments; that the entire
system of production was such tina
delays would grow with the rate o
