A good way to close the mouth Of a

might quietly inquire if he is referring
to his own sister. He won fight.

We see but little in the press about

everybody is afraid to cast the first
stone.

that he goes to bed with the chickens

however, prefer different bedfellow.

titled to first prizes.
' Mr.. Harding's fishing experience in
the Gulf of Mexico is remarkable in at
least one respect. The fish be caught
were larger than the stories he tells.

Washington= -Congressa reconvened
with the customary brief and routine
opening sessions, attended by great
crowds and mar ked by an" address, IN
the Senate, by Preside ntSelect Harding
as an unique and historical feature
Senator Harding took his seat
answered to roll call and made a brief
address from the rostrum.
The principal business was to ar
range for receipt of President Wilson's
message. New members elected last
November to fill vacancies were sworn
in and adjournment taken.

The House Immigration committee
bill prohibiting immigration for two
years was reported out and the rules

ly on the measures left from preceding
sessions and on the new grist. Call
for numerous committee meetings this
week were issued, but, leaders said
that the regular appropriation bills
would have the right of way. They
added that it was hoped to pass all
of them before March 4, but that con-
siderable ether legislation would be
squeezed in It also was said there
probably would be short holiday re-
cess about December: % over New
Years day and that the principal work
would come after the holidays
Arrangements were also made to re-
sumo Investigations suspended in part
of wholly during the recess.
Hundreds of nominations; including
recess appointments. are expected to
be sent to the, Senate by President
Wilson soon. All are to be referred
to committees, with sentiment strong
among Republicans for inaction on all
important appointments, leaving the
offices to be filled by the incoming ad.
miinstration.
OF the new bills and resolutions in
troduced in the Houses only few
were of general importance. All will
die unless enacted before March 4.

This is Herald subscription time.

Fairmont 6entinel-Drunk with their
victory, the Republican gangsters are
again clamoring for repeal of the
primary election law and a return to
the old boss system of nominating con-
ventions. This means, in its final
analysis, one man power in state poll
tics-and one man power in state poll
tics in this day and age, will mean a
political volcano which will wipe par
ties out Of existence.
Any man who knows the game Of
politics "as-she is played" can, as
state chairman, control any state con-
vention held under the old-time svs-
tenn. If the spoilsmen want to take
the chance, let them 20 ahead, but
some friend Of Governor.elect Preua
should whisper in his right ear: "Don u
let this step backward occur during
your reign. It will mean your finish. -

Ex-ARMY CAPTAIN
ADMITS BEING SP1|
Man Held for Company Theft
Says He Was One Of 300
Sent to America.
TELLS OF ENTIRE PLOT
Of Espionage to Enlist in American
Army-A Number Of Washing
ton Officials Also Involved.

New York-Sensational disclosures OF
his mission to this country as spy for
the German government, was given in
an alleged confession by John Willet,
former captain in Company l, 18th u.
8: infantry, alleged thief and deserter,
after he was arrested here charged
with absconding with $4,000 of his com.
pany funds on December II, 1918. His
regiment was then stationed at Camp
Sewer. <Greenville, S. c. His capture
was accidental. lie was crossing Fifth
avenue at Forty-second street near the
public library when Hugh J. Hannigan,
formerly a first lieutenant in Willet's
company, recognized him. Hannigan
called policeman and Willet was ar.
rested. At police station the prisoner
was further identified by two other for
mer lieutenants in Company I, Sidney
P. Howell and Francis Hatch. Willet
was then taken to Governors island,
headquarters of the Second army
corps, and placed in confinement at
Fort Jay.
Willet, the police said, recited in a
brazen fashion how he was sent to the
United States as one of 800 cadets
trained in the acts of espionage to en-
list in the American army.
On his arrival in. the United States,
Willet went to Albany where he en-
listed, he said, ASA private. His mill
tary aptitude won him rapid promotion
and his knowledge of English and his
ability to speak like an American" en-
abled him to obtain a commission.
Wtllet said he had never been sent
across the ocean and while in this
country his instructions were Ito act
the part Of loyal American" and to
take no action until he reached the
war zone.
What was your plan after reaching
the other side?" he was asked.
Il could lead the company to slaugh-
ter" the police say he replied.
''You atso would be killed." he was
reminded.
"WA.e.:. Of tat? THOUSANDS Of better
men died that way."a
While being questioned at the police
station, the police say Willet Unmarked
that they would be surprised if they
knew the number Of officials at Wash
ington during the war who was en-
ployed by Germany as SPIES" +
Are they still there?" he was asked
"That I don't know" he said 10
have answered. But there were many
Of them during the war"
The Forty.eighth infantry was still
at Camp Sewer when the armistice
was signed and as his usefulness as
spy was at an end, Willet told the
police, he decided to become deserter.
and to take, he alleged, the funds OF
his company.
When questioned by military au-
thorities at Governors island. Willet
declined to amplify his alleged confess
sion, to the police.
