TRAITOROUS
GERMANS HERE
Two Brought to u. S. Are
Said to Have Betrayed
Hindenburg
ARE BEING GUARDED
FROM GERMAN RAGE
They Are Said to Have Re-
vealed Military Secrets
to Gen. Pershing

Washington, D. c., July "a story
of the betrayal of the German high COM
mand through the efforts of the Amer
lean military secret service and Of the
organization among German officers of a
vendetta aimed at the lies of the trait
ors was brought to light with the ar
rival at New York yesterday of tive
German prisoners OF war consigned to
the director of military intelligence,
Washington, d. c."
According to information here the
mysterious prisoners who landed from
the Agamemnon under heavy guard for
merly were German officers Of high rank,
occupying positions of great responsible
ty under Won Hindenburg. Before the
Inauguration of the American offensive
in 1918, operatives of the American mill
tary intelligence corps prevailed ipon
them through inducements which have
not been divulged to deliver plans of the
German general staff covering the pro-
posed movements on the western front,
probably lines OF retreat, points at which
stands would be made and other de-
tailed information of inestimable value.
With these plans before him, General
Pershing was able to lay out his cam.
paign with great freedom and it is be-
lieyed that a result was to cut the cost
Of the American advance practically in
half.
The German officers later surrendered
themselves to the American forces. Ger.
tain of their former associates had lie.
come suspicious, however, and are be.
lived to have banded together to mete
out stern Justice. Utmost precautions
were taken even within the allied lines
to protect the informers but as officials
believed that as long as they were kept
in France their lives would be in danger,
orders were given for their transfer to
this country.
Preparations for the moving Of the
prisoners were kept a close secret and it
was only through the carelessness of
some clerk that they were included in
the roster of the Agamemnon when she
left France.
The plan was to send the prisoners 10
some isolated army post where they
might be given military protection for
time. Eventually, it is supposed, they
would have been permitted to escape
to some other country, there to begin
their lives anew Officials will not say
whether this plan can be safely followed
now.

$50 GREW TO S1,114.s6.
Amount Is Now Awaiting Proof Of Claim
at Brattleboro.

Among the various deposits in the
| savings banks in the Windham probate
district which are before the probate
court on petition of States Attorney
E. w. Gibson TO have their ownership
determined is one amounting to 81 ,ll4.S6
in the Vermont Savings bank to. the
credit Of Newton f. Whiting, whose resi-
dence when the deposit was made was
Brattleboro. The deposit is claimed for
Robert Whiting of New York City, who
says the depositor was his father of
whose estate Robert Whiting is admin
istrator, but at a hearing in the probate
court Saturday Judge A. F. Schwenk
| held the matter open in order that the
claimant might submit more proof as to
the identity of the depositor, and his re-
lationship to the claimant.
The deposit originally was $50 and
was made in January, 1857 The bank
then was the Windham Provident insti.
| tuition There have been no Withdrawals
nor any additions except the interest
credited by the bank, and the increase
through interest accumulstions is rather
| striking.
Newton f. Whiting OF Brattleboro,
whom Robert Whiting claims was his
father, was born in 1912 and was Is
years old when this deposit was made.
| He died in 1882, at the age OF 40 years.
| vet neither he nor any of his relatives
had ever increased or diminished the ac.
| count
When the unclaimed deposit first was
advertised the name, through a clerical
error, was given az Newton F. Whitney,
A New York lawyer wrote the bank that
he had a client who was entitled to the
money He was notified of the clerical
error and that the name on the bank
books was Whiting and soon afterwards
he wrote again, claiming the funds for
I Robert Whiting.
/ The case is being handled for the
claimant by Attorney Frank f. Barber
and the exhibits thus far include some
! Photographic reproductions of signatures,
birth certificates and other records.
Several claimants 10 other advertised
accounts proved their claims Saturday,
and some Others are being investigated,
but the Whiting deposit is the largest,
I the Others ranging from S44475 down to
few cents. In cases where no indiyid-
ual ownership is determined the deposits
will be deereed TO the state, no part Of

There are shrewd business men who
contend that British labor has not been
cheap, but considered solely as an item
in the cost Of the production has been
relatively costly when compared with the
labor of the United States.
The topic came forward at recent in.

and British captains of industry. Some

prises, who think in terms Of millions
Of pounds and brigades of workmen,
Their talk dealt with the iron and steel
productions, shipbuilding, the various in
dustries and manufactures of machinery
motors, sewing machines and the like.
The concensus OF opinion among them
seemed TO be that the average skilled
English workman of pre-war times, paid
a small wage, got more money for what
he did than the average American arti-
san, that the labor cost of producing
commodities in this country was greater
than for producing similar goods in the
United States.
Limitation of output by trades unions
and obstruction against labor saving ma
chinery, not lack of ability, were held to
be the chief reasons for smaller results
by British workinemen. Speed up the
work and you throw some of us into the
street; more labor saving machines and
more men out of work to be supported
by union funds, was the labor point of
view
There is still another factor, the cost
of beer, and that is rather delicate
