EE-U. s. Army Officer
Says High Germans
Held Big Jobs Here
Admits He Was One of Many
Boche Spies Holding Com
missions in America.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Army officials
today investigated the weird tale of John
Willers, 80, former army captain who,
after his arrest on charge Of desertion,
declared he was a German spy and had
enlisted for the purpose of betraying his
American comrades in France.
Willers was arrested after he had been
recognized by Hugh J. Hannigan, former
lieutenant In the 48th Infantry in which
Willers was a captain. Hannigan said
that shortly after the armistice was
signed Willers absconded with $4,000 in
company funds from Camp Sewer,
Greenville, s. c.
After admitting his identity Willers
is said to have declared that he was
one of 900 German imperial cadets who
came to this country in 1914 to act IS
spies. He said 1t was their purpose to
win army commissions and in case the
United States declared war on Germany
to lead their comrades into traps on the
front
II have nothing to regret" Willers
was quoted as saying. 81 only did what
a soldier of the fatherland should have
done and l am only sorry that l was
unable to get across and fulfill my pur-
pose of leading my regiment into the
trenches and then see that 1t was
slaughtered.
You would be surprised to know how
many high German officials held Jobs IN
Washington during the war"

Helping Thousands Who Tried EK-
PensiVe Things Without Result.
It's Guaranteed.

There are three vital processes OF
human eXistence,-the digestion Of
food, the extraction of nourishment
from it and the elimination of waste
Poor digestion and assimilation
means failure to derive full nourish-
ment from food and that in turn often
means impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
an accumulation of waste matter
which poisons the body, lowers vitality,
decreases the power of resistance to
disease and leads to the development
OF many serious ills.
Rheumatism,-du to some inter-
ference with the process of elimina-
tion, failure to get rid of certain body
pOiSOns, cannot be expected to yield
to any medicine that fails to correct
the condition responsible for it, Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself of rheumatic pain as long as
rheumatic poison is allowed to remain
in the body.
