PERSECUTION

George Martinich, an Everett
barber. who has been a lecturer
for the Bible Students, is now
detained at the county jail on
the Charge of having violated the
Espionage law because Of some
ALLEGED attempt to circulate The
Finished Mystery" 4 county
officer whom we talked With about
the book, said he could find moth
ing particularly seditious in IL;
yet the Federal authorities must
have found something perhaps
with a MICROSCOPIC because The
poor man is placed under an i'm
possible oond--$15,000.
The man was given p.elim-
mary hearing before F. w. Mans
field. u. $. Commissioner, and
by him bound over to the Federal
Grand Jury. which is to convene
shortly in Seattle. The evidence
so far produced against him is
that he had a few copies Of the
Finished Mystery in his posses
sion, but there is no evidence at
all that he had sold or distributed
any since the book was inter
dicted.
II the man were engaged in
German-spy work and was doing
anything to help the Kaiser, we
would not say a word in his be-
half; but we have satisfied our
selves that such is not the case,
and there is not the slightest evil
dence TO support such a conten-
ton, outside Of suspicious cir
eumstances that have been sat
isfactorily explained. The case
has therefore simmered down to
matter of official persecution.
We advise the authorities to 90
easy on that kind Of stuff. Have
care.

@pIcK up GERMAN ORDERS.
Wireless Operators on American Ships
Hear from Nauen.

London, July 26,--Wireless operators
on American and other ships crossing the
Atlantic at night frequently pick up
orders being sent by the German admir-
atty to submarines at sea The mes
sages are in code, of course, and the
submarines never acknowledge receipt Of
the orders because if they did some war
ship Of the enemy might get clue as
to the location Of one or more of the un-
dersea boats.
These messages to the submarines are
from Nauen, small town near Span
dau, where Germany has its great wire
less station. Electrical waves produced
there viii reach some 5000 miles.
Nine towers are in use, the highest
being $50 feet. Last year Nauen sent
to the outside world almost 100000
words for the German government.
