Shoot Spies and Imprison Disloyal Men.

Shoot Spies and Imprison Disloyal Men.
Germans and pro-Germans over the
country are getting at the hands OF
their neighbors what they deserve.
we do not believe that unlawful acts
or violence of any kind should be in
dulged in, yet all Americans and Ger
mans who sympathize with Germany
should be made to fool the disapproval OF
public sentimep If the government
does not deal with them severely, the
proof to convict being lacking, citizens
should let these men understand that
their presence here in America is not
wanted.
Having sent our young men to the
trenches in France to give their lives
in defense Of human rights and our
national honor, we should not allow
blatant men to stand upon the street
corners and give utterance to senti-
ments that make the lot of our boys
on foreign soil the harder. What is
needed now Is an expression of loyalty
from all men and not carping criticism
which is but an expression of pro-
German sentiment.
Shoot the spies and imprison the
Americans and Germans who openly
express sympathy for Germany. Men
of that stripe are not wanted on Amer
ican soil.

YANK ESCAPES FROM HUNS
Pittsburgh Boy Strikes Guard With
Stick and FIees to the
American Lines.

With the American Forces In
France.-Private Edward F. Baker of
Pittsburgh, Pa, is one of the few
Americans who claim to have been a
prisoner in Germany and then escaped
back to the line of his comrades. Here
is an outline of the story told by
Baker. Early one morning there had
been street fighting in Fismes and sew
eral Germans got the drop on Baker
end marched him back to their lines.
Before noon the Germans had Baker
working in the trenches, and they kept
him digging most of the afternoon
without suggesting that he might want
something to eat. Late in the after
noon the Americans started an at
tack.
When the German guarding Baker
turned his head to look in the direc-
ton Of the whiz of an American shell
Baker seized a stick of wood and
struck the guard a blow on the head
and then ran into wood toward the
Americans. Several Germans fired at
him as he disappeared in the brush.
Baker reached his companions that
right just IS hours after he had been
taken prisoner. and he had had moth
ing to eat all day.

WOMAN DRIVES TRUCK
Makes Better Time on LONG
Trip Than Man.
Machine Works Little Hard So She
Takes It Apart and
Fixes II.
BY ELolsE ROBINSON.

Parls.-The lieutenant looked wor-
ried and a little apologize.
IL don't like to ask it. l know that
isn't what the Y. NJ. C. A. is for. But
Il 1t is possible"
How about it, Miss Cow? You're
the one to say" The divisional secre-
tary turned to the woman In the mo-
tor transport uniform.
"Why certainly, lieutenant. If you're
not afraid to trust me- I've never
driven a Fiat truck, or any car as
heavy as that, and you're taking a risk
"I'll take it" The lieutenants
flown disappeared. "Gosh, that sets
my mind at rest If sent the only
man 1 have down to Paris for the
truck he would be month getting
back with it, and goodness only knows
what condition it would be in when 1t
got here. But I'll rest easy if you
undertake 1t. If you can get back
inside of two weeks I wish you'd do
It."
So Miss Ella Cow, a Scottish wom-
an serving with the American Y. NJ.
C. A, who. by the way has been deco
rated for distinguished service to the
Serbian government-went to Paris
and brought back the truck. She isn't
very big herself, and everybody said
she couldn't do it. They didn't know
her.
She came driving up the hill into
V In just week from the time she
had left, and one day and night of
that time had been spent on the train
getting to Paris.
"She works little hard, lieutenant"
Miss Cow told the officer. "You have
to shove her clear through to fourth
and then bring her back to where you
want her"
The lieutenant tried to shove her.
He couldn't. He pushed and painted
and became red In the face and used
bad words. But nothing worked.
"She's beast Miss Cow admitted.
"You have to get on to her. But I think
can make her all right If you don't
mind my taking her apart"
'Do anything you want" growled
the lieutenant.
So Miss Cow took her apart, and
now the lieutenant can drive her.

INTERNED GERMANS WATCHED
Close Attention Paid to Their Con.
versation in Order to De-
tect Plots.

Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, s.
C.-There Is someone at all times
among the soldiers guarding German
prisoners here who can understand
German, paying strict attention to
their conversations, to detect any plots
that might be Matched to escape, and
secure other information.
But 1t would seem that such pre-
cautions are hardly necessary. The
prisoners have repeatedly expressed
themselves as being very well content
to remain here until the end Of the
war. They realize that 1t would be
foolish for them to try to escape, as
few of them speak English and they
could not get very far before being de-
tected. They have been heard to ex-
press the hope that they will never be
exchanged for American prisoners in
Germany.
The prisoners are willing workers,
and they do a great deal of work about
camp. They are given humane treat
ment, get plenty to eat and the same
medical attention as is given to SOL
diers, but they are not by any means
treated as guests of the nation, as has
been done at some other prison camps,
according to stories which have been
printed in the newspapers. The Ger
man prisoners here more than earn
their keep,

FRENCH USE YANK LAUNCHES
Vessels Crossed Ocean Under Their
Own Steam With Nesli-
gible Losses.

A French Port.-France in her work
of safeguarding the coast from mines
and submarines is using a large num-
ber of motor launches of the stand
frdized American type, which came
over under their own steam with a
loss of only one out of fifty.
One of the most successful boats
used for the work is the canonniere,
which, working with Diesel engines,
can steam 5000 miles at ten knots an
hour without refueling. The craft
carries guns big enough to deal with
any submarine, and its low draught en-
ables it to travel over mine fields.
For mine-sweeping the French use
an economical form of trawl. with in
genious underwater appliances for
keeping the sweep at the required
depth.
