THINK HUNS SPIES
BUSY IN THIS STATE
Suspicious Doings Near Fort
Salisbury; Mysterious Search
light Near New Castle.

Shrewd suspicion has been aroused
that Hun spies are working in this state,
word coming from the neighborhood OF
Fort Salisbury that, things explaInablc
in no other way have been gong on down
there and mysterious searchight doings
being reported in the vicinity OF New Cas-
tie
William NJ. Billy Foord, the well
known trapshooter, reported an incident
that happened to him several months
ago on the bay shore near Fort Sauls-
bury. which may have considerable bear
ing on the present operations of the sub
marines and which was reported to the
authorities at that time.
Mr. Foord, who was cunning Tor
blackbirds near the fort, over q week
end, came across - man with naVai
mans bearing, neatly dressed IN eivil'an
clothes, who appeared to be very much
embarrassed when found. The man was
accompanied by two small boys, natives
of that section
When discovered he started to walk
away. and MIR. Foord, who carried n
gun in his hand. demanded 10 know
what he was doing there. The man,
with a pronounced German accent, de
cared he was fishing for cells and showed
an eel pot Mr. Foord, who is an all
round sportsman, realizing that no one
dressed as this man was, would go fishing
for cells. showed plainly that he doubted
the mans tale, and, as he started towards
him the stranger got IN boat ne had on
the shore and rowed away
1t is thought that this man might
have been sketchinp the shore hne IN
the vicinity OF the fort, or he might have
been picking out places where other
members Of the German spy system could
be so located that signals could be cX-
changed easily with the crews of vessels
entering or leaving the Delaware river.
Following his return. Mr. Foord prompt
" reported the matter 10 the Federal
authorities
Sometime after this incident, Deputy
United States Marshal Conway arrested
William Otto Henze. a German, aged %
years, who had failed to register THIS
man. who lived seventeen years III
shack along tho Delaware Bay, did no
work and lived the life Of a recluse II
is thought that he may have been planted
along the shores for purpose, but that
his arrest Interfcred with the plans At
any rate, Henze is now interned at Fort
Oglcthorpe, Ga.
That several such eases have been
discovered in this State and about this
city, which gives credencc 10 the report
that German spies are about this section,
is known Among such cases is that Of
a searchlight being flashed from dwelling
in the country few miles from here at
regular intervals at nights until II was
stopped by the government. This light
was plainly visible from New Castle and
other river points and rlverrnen OF Pigeon

SETTLING Day. IS COMING

We have been requested to repro
Educe the following extract from an
article which appeared in the Ameri-
can Lumberman in its issue Of Aug
lust "a:
Among the first contributions re-
ceived by the American Lumberman
on the subject, What Should Be
lDone With Garmany,' is the follow
ling from an Illinois reader who is
identified with the lumber industry !:
q am greatly interested in your
new department inviting suggestions
as to what should be done with, or
to Germany after the allies have
completely broken her military pow,
EN- What do We do first with any
criminal? We disarm him; and in
my judgment Germany should be
completely disarmed, as the first step
lin the international program, She
should be allowed to manufacture no
weapons or to build no naval vessels
Or military aircraft for the next fifty
wears, If ever. The kaiser and his
six sons, Or as many of them as share
in the responsibility for the war, to-
gether with his civil and military adj
visors who planned and brought about
the war, should be tried before an
international tribunal, and sentenced
to death or to exile, according to the
individual degree of culpability prov
en-. The kaiser, the crown prince
and the chief Of the civil and politi-
cal cOnspirators who brought on the
war should be escorted to the Place
de la Concord in Paris, and there
lined up before a firing squad COM
posed Of French and Belgian soldiers
with a British sergeant to give the
command to fire. We Americans will
not insist on being personally rep
resented at that little ceremony,
France and Belgium, as the earliest
victims of German ruthlessness, being
entitled to first consideration. Then
the question Of Belgium, Poland the
Isisitania and many others will come /
up for consideration Germany must !
be compelled to restore all damage I
done in Belgium, as far as that is pos 4
sihle, and nav indemnities for all the /
civilians she has murdered. She must /
pay also indemnity for all victims Of
the Lusitania crime, and for all other
lives lost through the sinking of
American or neutral vessels by sub
marines, and replace or pay for all
ships torpedoed. She must withdraw
from every foot Of Russian territory. I
IN short, all territory gained by con-
quest or treacherous intrigue must
revert to its rightful owners. Until
III people of Germany by some free
and orderly process have selected
their own rulers the country should
be governed BY an allied council
These are some Of the things that
viii have to be done before Germany
an have any plSce in the family Of
1ations.s

Gov. Rye issued proclamation OF
August p, says a dispatch from
Nashville, calling upon the people 81
the state to aid the government il
securing needed labor. The govern
or asks that all patriotic Tennesseans
especially those not engaged In farm
ing, railroad work or mining, RESPOND
to the governments call.
Gov. Rye's proclamation was
prompted by telegram to Maj. Rut-
ledge Smith from Washington author
tiles stating that the United States
is threatened with serious shortage
of labor, skilled and unskiiled.
The state has been asked to fur
nish 1000 men for war work indus
tries.
The proclamation follows:
Whereas, the government is con-
fronted with a labor shortage which
threatens to imperiI the success Of
our cause in this great war and has
appealed to the people Of the country
to supply laborers, skilled and I'M
skilled, in large numbers.
therefore |, Tom Rye, governor
Of Tennessee, do earnestly appeal to
the people of this state to come to
the aid of the government in this
crisis. ! ask that all patriotic Ten
nesseans, especially those not en-
gagged in farming, railroad work or
mining, to respond promptly to the
call of the government.
1--WE must keen our industries NOV
ing at full capacity Id order to meet
the needs Of our army fighting in
France.
II suggest that all business men
of the state come to the aid Of the
government at once and aid it in SCI
curing men needed for war indus
tries. Our armies in France cannot
continue to fight il we fail to keep
them supplied with munitions, cloth
ing, food and other necessities. Help
the government keep the wheels Of
industry going.
Given under my hand and the
great seal Of the state, at the capitol
in Nashville, this the 22d day of Aug

ence the one hundred and forty-third.
