In such proportion that the effective
ness OF enemy sluadrons cannot be
maintained at the minimum required
by the regulations. The number of

February and March was far greater
In each month than the number con-
structcd I'm the Same month. In Feb
ruary and April tho number OF sub
marines destroyed was three less
than tho total destroyed in the prev

These results. the Minister de-
clarod, were due TO the mCthodicJ.
character Of the war against sub
marines; TO the close ordination
Of the Allied navies; to the intrcpidity
and spirit animating the officers and
crews Of naval and aerial squadrons,
and TO the intcnslncation OF the use
of old methods and the employment
Of now ones.
"rhc situation is most favorable"
the Minister continued, but It does
not authorize thc SlaCkcnlng or effort.

FIRE DESTROYS
VILLAGE STORE
w. A. Burnham's Building in Montague
City Burned with Loss Estimated
at $4,000 to $4,000.

MONTAGUE CITY, Jan. 29.-Fire,
believed to have started from an over
heated furnace, yesterday afternoon de
stroved the three-story wooden build
ing owned by William A. Burnham and
located in the center of the town. The
building contained the postoffice, Mr..
Burnham S general store and his apart
mentS upstairs and all of these places
were entirely Quilted and contents to-
tally destroyed. The loss is estimated
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The store and postotfice had been
closed for the holiday. The fire was
first discovered at 40 when smoke
and flames We're seen coming from the
roof. The blaze had worked its way
up through the partitions. The roof
was entirely burned away and the in
side of the building Quilted badly, with
nothing saved. Mrs. Burnham was in
the apartments upstairs, but did not
learn Of the fire until the fremen went
upstairs to remove her. She has been
in i'll health and evidently was not con
scious of the dangerous predicament
she was in.
The building was erected on land
| bought in 1895 from DIR. f. C. Gov, by
". f and W A. Burnham. The store
was the only merchandise establish

GERMANS STEAL
"SPY" EVIDENCE
Proofs of Activity of Teutons Taken
from the Censor's Office in New
York City.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-German
spies have stolen virtually all of the
documentary evidence revealing the
workings of the German spy system in
the United States, Mexico, South Amer
lea and neutral countries which had
been gathered by the government cen
sorship of cables and mails in New
York city.
This admission, astounding in its char
acter, is made by members of the house
naval affairs committee who learned
of the facts from testimony given III
the investigation being conducted by
that committee. Information exposing
the very heart of the German espionage
system, and which was the result of
months of examination of the cables
and mails, was taken from the New
York Office of the censorship in the
appraisers stores building 1t was OBJ
viouslv the work of extremely intelli-
gent spies who were familiar with the
inner workings of the Office.
Now that the secret is out there is
no minimizing its Importance. No
trace of the thieves has been found.
| Not the slightest indication of how the
| theft was performed has been obtained
The government is absolutely in the
dark 1t is admitted that the latest
manifestation of the cunning and dar.
ing of the horde of German spies in the
| United States robs the government OF
invaluable data upon which action was
to have been taken. An unpleasant
| impression has been created even in of
fetal circles. Representative Brittel
of Illinois, member of the naval af
fairs committee, voiced it.
: 1t would not surprise me, he said
IF the German spies stole the entir
force of the censorship Office and sen
it to Berlin.

had fallen to one-fourth of what it was
when the United States entered the
war.
Although after the recess Mr.. Baker
produced statement, just secured from
Gen. Wheeler, showing the she'll eapaci-
ty to have largely increased instead of
decreased, it is apparent that the see
retarv s initial unreadiness to answer
the question will eventually be made
the basis of an argument that, strong
as he is in looking after the welfare of
the troops, he is not master of the mu-
nitions problem.
Yet when the final picture of Ameri-
ca 3 part and plan in the war was com
pleted in the afternoon, Mr.. Baker $
measure of achievement was at once
manifest. However, Mr.. Chamberlain
and Republican members of the COM
mittee may have felt, there was no hes
itation among editorial writer's and cor
respondents of critical Republican
newspapers in giving him unstinted
credit for having done a remar kable
thing, which would give the country
new courage and hope.
