Norfolk, Va, Jan. 15.-Navy inteli-
gence officers left here for Baltimore
with Walter Spoerman, suspected Of
being an active figure in plots
launched by Captain Boyd, the for
mer German military attache. and be-
lieved to have been q captain in the
German army. According to the story
unofficially told here. the man was ar
rested Saturday while in the act Of
attempting to blow up magazine at
the unfinished Army Aviation Field
under construction near Newport
News. The prisoner will be turned
over to officers Of the Department of
Justice at Baltimore for . hearing. So
far the only charge formally lodged
against him Is understood to be that
he is a dangerous enemy alien. Docu-
ments found in his possession, how
ever. are declared to reveal his con.

the conferences Of military and politi-

The Hun spoke of his voyage from
America TO England as being e1ceP.

fine time, because he associated with
the English passengers on board, his
fluent English readily admitting him
TO several spirited arguments on the
subject of the war, which he keenly
enjoyed. One little incident he related
revealed the remarkable tact which
our enemy displayed in his associa-
tions at sea, which no doubt resulted
advantageously for him. AS he ex.
pressed it, he ''made hit one evening
when the crowd has assembled for q
little music by suggesting that they
sing GOD Save the King" Thereafter
his popularity was assured and the de-
sired effect accomplished, for very
soon a French officer came up to him
and said, Its too bad that England
and ourselves haven't men in our army
like YOU" 1t was too bad, he agreed
in telling me about 1t, because he was
confident he could have done a whole
lot more for Germany if he had been
in the English army. In spite of his
apparent loyalty, however, the man
didn't seem very enthusiastic over the
war and frankly admitted one day thar
the old political battles waged in Cali
fornia were much more to his likinl
than the battles he had gone through
over here. On second thought he
laughed as though 1t were good joke.

that he had taken a keen interest in

AS their tracer bullets came closer
and closer to me realized that my
chances of escape were nil. Their very
next shot, felt, must hit me.
Once, some days before, when I was
flying over the line, 1 had watched a
fight above me. A German machine
was set on fire, and dived down
through our formation in flames on its
way to the ground. The Hun was div

the look of horror on his face.
Now, when i expected any moment
to suffer a similar fate, could not
help thinking of that poor Huns last
look of agony.
realized that my only chance lay
In making an Immelman turn. This
maneuver was invented by German
one of the greatest who ever few and
who was killed In action some time be-
fore. This turn, which made success
fully, brought one of their machines
right In front of me, and as he sailed
along barely ten yards away, "had
the drop" on him, and he knew II.
His white face and startled eyes
can still see. He knew beyond ques-
ton that his last moment had come,
because his position prevented his TAX
ing aim at me, while my gun pointed
straight at him. My first tracer bullet
passed within q yard of his head, the
second looked as If 1t hit his shoulder,
the third struck him in the neck, and
then I let him have the whole works,
and he went down in a spinning nose
dive.
All this time the three other Hun
machines were shooting away at me.
1 could hear the bullets striking my
machine one after another. / hadn't
the slightest idea that / could ever
beat off those three Huns, but there
was nothing for me to do but fight, and
my hands were full.
In fighting, your machine is drop
ping, dropping all the time. i glanced
at my instruments, and my altitude
was between 5000 and 1900 feet.
While 1 was still looking at the in
struments. the whole blamed works
disappeared. A burst of bullets went
into the instrument board and blew
it to smithereens, another bullet went
through my upper lip, came out of the
roof Of my mouth and lodged in my
throat, and the next thing 1 knew was

but j said enough to let him know
what / was doing there and how
happened TO be there. He evidently
had heard my story from some of the
others, though, because he said II was
too bad had not broken my neck;
that he did not have much sympathy
with the flying corps anyway. He
asked me what part Of America / came
from, and / told him California"
After few more questions he
learned that hailed from San Fran
cisco, and then added TO my distress
by saying, "How would you like to
have good, juicy steak right out of
the Hofbrau" Naturally / told him
il would "hit the spot" but ! hardly
thought my mouth was in shape just
then to eat 1t. Immediately asked,
of course, what he knew about the
Hofbrau, and he replied, 81 was con-
nected with the place a good many
years, and ought to know AZ about
it."
After that this German officer and
1 became rather chummy; that Is, as
far as / could be chummy with an
enemy, and we whiled away a good
many long hours talking about the
days we had spent In San Frandsco,
and frequently In the conversation os
of us would mention some prominent
Californian, or some little incident oc-
curing there, with which we were
both familiar.
He told me when war was declared
he was, of course, intensely patriotic
and thought the only thing for him to
do was to go back and aid In the de-
Tense of his country. He found that
he could not go directly from San
Francisco, because the water was too
well guarded by the English, so he
boarded a boat for South America.
There he obtained forged passport
and in the guise of Montevidean took
passage for New York and from there
to England.
He passed through England without
any difficulty on his forged passport,
but concluded not to risk going to Hol-
land for fear of exciting too much sus-
picion, so went down through the
Strait of Gibraltar to Italy, which was
neutral at that time, up to Austria,
