Special from Washington.-Sena

ing letter from General P. C. March
relative to the ultimate decision of the
war department as to the conversion
of Camp Greene into an aviation con-
centration camp:
'The Secretary of War directs me
to advise you that in compliance with
his orders, board of officers conduct
ed a thorough examination of the site
of Camp Greene to determine upon it's
suitability for future use by our mill
tary forces.
GAS the result of it's investigation
the board found the site to be insult
able for a division camp or remount
depot or for theh training of troops,
excepting small units to the total num-
Der of $4,000 men, and has submitted
a recommendation in conformity with
it's findings which has received the ap-
prevail of the Secretary of War.
THE removal of the remount depot
to another point has been ordered.
Camp Greene has been assigned to
the department of military aeronautics
as an aviation concentration and train
ing camp whose maximum capacity
will be $4,000 men,"

was regular fan. couldn't make him
believe that Hans Wagner wasn't the

From New York he had gone to Lon

the Hotel Russell. Just before the war
he went home to Germany to see his
parents, the war came and he was con-
scripted.
He told me he was very sorry to
hear that London was in ruins from
the Zeppelin raids. I could not con-
vince him otherwise, for hadn't he seen
moving pictures in one of the German
cities of st. Paul's cathedral in ruins.
I changed the subject because he
was so stubborn in his belief. It was
my intention to try and pump him for
information as to the methods of the
German snipers, who had been caus-
ing us trouble in the last few days.
I preached the subject and he shut
up like a clam. After a few minutes
he very innQcently said:

for killing the English"
l eagerly asked, What are they"
He answered:
For killing or wounding an English
private, the sniper gets one mark. For

Gossiping is about the most useless
kind of work one could possibly en-
gage in. How much better and more
charitable it is to turn a deaf ear to
cruel truths, to honorably keep silent
about what we have heard, and at the
same time give the unfortunate person
in the case the benefit Of our doubt.
"Small wits talk much" is an old say
ing and a true one. The girl or woman
who would be truly happy, and who
incidentally would make others happy,
should wisely think twice before she
sneaks. and then should put into words
only thoughts that are cheering and
charitable.-NewY York Evening Mail. p

the killing, the prisoner in Jail and the

A. L. Brooks arose and told the

the Hege home was visited and that
he talked to Mrs Hege as she told the
story she barred to tn world for the

Solicitor Bower arose and spoke OF
the regard of the local bar for the at

suspicion. He added that the States

no desire to urge heavy punishment
upon him.
Hege received the verdict calmly.

had set a trap and gained another vic

mark against him in the book of this
war From that time on diplomatic re-

Returning to Tommy, think his
spirit is best shown in the questions he
asks. 1t is never "who is going to win"
but always chow long will it take?"

Washington. - Estimates sent to-
Congress by Secretary Baker show
that the war department intends to
establish Is permanent airplane sta
tons and probably a number of bal
loon observation stations, on the At
lantic coast. 1t is regarded as practi-
cally certain that the North Carolina
coast will get one or more of these
stations The two senators from
North Carolina, and representatives
from the coast districts will get busy,
it is understood, to see that adequate
protection is afforded the coastal ter
ritory of the state.
Sites for the stations, from which
airplanes and balloons will watch for
and attack enemy submarines, have
been selected but their announcement
is withheld pending the completion of
the purchase of necessary land.
The visit of German submarines is
largely responsible for the estimates
of the deparement, which aggregate
approximately $28,OO0,OOO.
1t is understood that sites have been
selected for ID stations on the Allan
tic, three on the Pacific, four in Pan
anna and three in Hawaii. In addition
20 balloon coastal stations are planned
by the war department at the several
coastal points suitable for observa-
ton.
The estimates submitted are in de-
tail as follows:
Construction of 16 permanent coast
al stations, $16,0O0,OO0.
Construction of 20 permanent bal
loon coastal stations, $2,5OO,OOO.
Construction of four permanent sta
tions in Panama, $5,40O,0OO
Construction of three permanent
stations in Hawaii, $4,42O 900.
The desired amounts will be includ-
ed in the Notifications appropriation
bill soon to be reported by the house
committee.

CHARGE AMERICANS
WITH ESPIONAGE
TWO GERMANS SUBJECTS ARE
NAMED IN INDICTMENT AS
DEMONSTRATORS
SOME PLEAD NOT GUILTY
Operations Declared to Have Been
Observation-Disclosures by New
York Grand Jury.

New York.-Five American citizens
and two subjects Of the German en-
pire, one OF them woman, are named
as fellow-cOnspirators in two indict-
ments returned by a federal grand
Jury here: Investigators declared their
operations the most sensational under
taken by German intelligence agents
since the war began.
The indictments allege conspiracy
to commit treason and conspiracy to
commit espionage. The assembling
and transmission of information rela-
tive to Americas prosecution of the
war; the destruction of American
piers docks and troop transports with
fire bombs, destruction of quicksil-
yer mines in this country to hamper
the manufacture of munitions as
sisting Germany in taking an armed
expedition in Ireland; fermentation of
a revolt against British rule in Ire
land raising Of funds in this country
with which to finance these opera
tions, and destruction of munitions
factories and mines in Great Britain
are charged as ramifcations of the in
trigue.
The wording of the indictments COM
prising 80 pages, intimates that the
conspiracy may be of even broader
scope. This is suggested by a para
graph in the treason Indictment which
alleges that in July last year, one of
the defendants sent a cablegram to
Often, Switzerland.

Robinson, Fricke and Ripper pleaded

the date of the presentation and filing
of this indictment, were enemies of

secret representatives, secret agents
and secret employees of said imperial
German government" and still are.
After naming Ryan, O'Leary, Rob
inson, Fricke, Ripper, Binder and
Schweitzer as citizens owing allegi-
ance to the United States, the indict-
ment charges that they land divers
other persons within and without the
United States" whose names are I'M
known, conspired to commit treason,
in that they "would knowingly and
wilfully adhere and give aid and COM
fort" to the German government, and
to Madame de Victorica and Rodiger
by sending to the German government
communications CONNECTED with and
in prosecution of the war;" receiving
from German officials communications
connected with and in promotion of
the war" and by furnishing money and
credits to Rodiger and de Victorica;
by concealing the presence and activi-
ties of the two alleged from American
authorities and by furnishing messen-
gers to the two suspects.
