Halls FROM DENMARK

Federal agents and members of the
local police department are deeply in
terested- in Peter Frederick Christian
Wilsmark, thirty-six years old, private
in Company G, S0th United States Corps
of Engineers, stationed at Fort Myer,
Va. who is under arrest to answer
charges of having forged the name of
Alfred May to money orders of the
American Express Company.
The prisoner is said to have admitted
having entered this country from Den
mark. where he was born, on pass
port bearing the name of Frederick
Jensen. whose widow. he said. he mar
ried. His wife did not come with him.
Wilsmark was arrested at Fort Myer
yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Baur and Sweeney and Inspector
Charles G. Lambert of the detective
force of the American Express Com
pany.
While representatives of the express
company were conducting an investi-
cation in Brooklyn. N. Y. they found
the passport issued in Jensens name
among Wilsmark's effects.
Wilsmark Discusses Movements.
Discussing his movements in this
country, the prisoner said he arrived at
New York December "a. 1916. Then ne
went west as far as San Francisco. and
it was in that city, it is stated, that
the express money orders of Mr.. May
were stolen They were for sums ag-
gregating $110, and the soldier is
charged with having forged Mays
name to them. Detectives say he ad-
mitted having the orders in his possess
sion and signing Mr.. Mays name to
them to get them cashed.
The prisoner is civil engineer, ac-
cording to his statement, and has been
in the service of the United States
since November II, 1917, when he en-
listed in San Francisco. During the
examination of the soldiers effects in
Brooklyn, it is stated, agents of the
express company took possession of
papers which may have some bearing
on his movements before he came to
this country.

HITCHCOCK KNOWS THE HUN

''Germany from the inside" is fla miliar to Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitch cock. He spent several years in study in the country with which the nation Is now at war and knows the German mind. He puts this knowledge to good use in the United States, and under stands many of the trick plays that the kaiser and his cohorts have at- tempted.
 Before the United States entered the war Senator Hitchcock was not considered a strong militnrist. Since the declaration of war, however, he has been one of the most constructive members of the senate.
 Tall. erect and with iron gray hair, Senator Hitchcock presents one of the most striking figures on the floor. He is almost stutueSquc.

HUNS USE SUSPENSE

LONDON, Aug. 9.-The "Ame Beige" mysterious little Belgian paper which the German government in Belgium repeatedly tried to sup press. continues to make its appear, ance.
 A recent copy Of the paper which is published secretly, received here, contains story of another instance of Hun brutality.
 Of nineteen Belgians tried at Char leroi on charge of furnishing intor nation to the allies, six were sen. tenced to be shot.
 Families of the entire nineteen were summoned and told that six of the nineteen would be executed, but the officials refused to state which were to be the victims.
 The sentence was not even made known to the nineteen states the Anne Beige" 'ln vain did their fam lilies beg and implore the Germans to tell; they were allowed to visit the prisoners. and they wept and la mented. The bitter truth would be easier than this agOnizing uncertainty.
 Wives and children stood all night at the gates of the prison, alternating between infinite despair and senseless hope. At dawn six were taken before firing squad and executed"
