Government experts working under
the supervision OF the bureau OF
standards have completed an in
vestigation OF the hat manufac-
turing industry which reveals some in
teresting tacts as TO how felt hat Is
made. The investigation is one OF
series conducted by the government
with the view Of aiding business and
industry. Generally, one supposes that
hats are made of mixture Of wool
and cotton. but the fact is that Amer
ican-made hats are of rabbit fur. The
American industry, centering In Con-
necticut. virtually begins when a rab-
bit is caught In Australia. and ends
when the bow Is put on In Danbury.
Il Is a long. long journey. and the dis
covery of felt making goes back 70

ARMY MEN DISCREDIT
WILLERS' SPY STORY
Former Captain Held Incommuni-

Face Trial as Traitor.

NEW YORK, December 9.-The New
York Times says: John A. Willers. for
mer captain of Company K, 4Sth Unit
ed States Infantry, and self-styled Ger
man spy, is being held incommunicado
in Castle William. Governors Island. A
court-martial will convene within "a
week to try him for alleged viola ton
of articles of war IS and a. Lieut..
Willers, who also faces charges of
desertion from the Army and embezzle-
ment, refused to talk. Despite his pic
turesque story of how he and 800 other
German army cadets came here in 1914
to spy. no charge of enemy activity
was made against him. Army officials
were inclined to discredit Willers' tale.
One of the first visitors to the island
was Willers' wife, bride of four
months She was a Miss Crawford of
Chicago. Mrs. Wi1lers is about twenty
one years old, short. of dark complexion
and hair, and pretty. She was agitated
almost to the point Of tears.
Il can't believe his story is true she
said, after talking to her husband. Il
met him eighteen months ago in Chicago
and we were married four months ago.

something on his mind, but he explained
that he was German born and told how
while he was in the Army he had trained

truth. He told me that he had been hon
orably discha rged from the Army.
