Optimistic Reports Concerning Highway Get Service Jol
When Government Reports on ACCESSIBILITY of Motor

master Thornton.

Despite the cheerful news from
time to time that the Richmond WASH

real state of affairs became plain when
the government at Washington notified
Postmaster Hay T. Thornton that a
motor-truck mail route could not be
cgta blished because the road was not
In shane to warrant the mail getting

President Anderson insisted. twenty
FIVE per cent should be set aside to

built but nothing was done to main

simply became ruins of roads.

NAVY OFFICIAL FAVORS
DEATH TO ALL SPIES

Washington, Feb. MANY Ger
T., an spies have been caught In this
country and iuterned as dangerous
aliens instead of being court
tailed and shot. This Is the opinion
of a high official OF the navy depart
rnent. He believes the department
Of Justice has been too ienient with
The agents who have been rounded up.
The department of Justice, ON the
other hand believes that in many
cases it has not secured evidence
enough to warrant the trial of these
agents on the life and death charge
Of espionage. It believes that it has
been a wiser policy to conflne the sus-
pected men in internment camps
rather than TO risk trial and acquit-
tai
Army and navy officers, while
cocnizant OF this view. assert that
the department Is still too ienient
with the agents. Many of them. it is
charged, have been let out on parole.
No official here is willing to admit
that the United States has actually
caught any German spies
Has one single out-and-out spy
been caught since we entered the
war o. navy official was asked
Well" he replied, after minutes
thought. II think that the men whom
the department OF Justice has round
ell up ought to be further investi-
fated"
Many thousands OF enemy allens
have been rounded up by the secret
service. it fs known 1t is not charged
that all OF these persons are spies
but il is asserted by military and
naval authorities that there are among
them many men who. If caught in
the field. would face a drum head
