CHARGE FRENCH OFFICER
SOLD PLANS TO GERMANS
Act of Treason Reported to
Have Been Uncovered
After Armistice
R,- Wnhh : Millar

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent -
Paris, Dec. Charged with sell
ing the general mobilization plans OF
the French armies to German spies
before the war, Captain Leon Proust
of the French army ofEthe Near
East: has just leasi. arrested .nnder ex1
traordinary circumstances more than
seven years after the alleged treason.
He is held in solitary confinement in
the citadel of the fortress Of Besan-
con.
The arrest caused sensation
throughout France. The war, depart
ment is maintaining silence regard
ing the details of the charge Proust
was arrested while at home on leave
from Syria. Throughout the war
Prcust served with his regiment and
since has been on duty in Morocco
and in the Near East.
The unprecedented act of treason
is reported to have been first uncov-
cred Immediately after the armistice.
Among the papers found in Bel
gian town after the Germans hasty
evacuation, were documents belong
ing to high intelligence officer Of
the German army. They related to
the qualifications of the German spy
system before the war. The docu-
ments implicated Proust, it IS said, in
the sale of the, mobilization plans.
Through their purchase the Germans
were aware of the complete details
of Frances mobilization plans two
months before the outbreak Of the
war.
Throughout i've three years since
the armistice, tEG French secret scr
vice has been CAREFULLY investigating
and at Hast pounc"i upon plonst:
1t is reported that PROFIT claims
that he was employed ia counter-es-
pionage before the war ard may use

false information to confuse theE.
However, tic ministry CT war an
nounces that they have sufficient evil
dence to Justify The arrest.

CITY WATER IMPAIRED
by INACTIVE SECTION
Investigation Has Been Under
Way for Some Time to
ssa Find Idle Water ~.

A number Of citizens have been
persistent in their inquiries OF The
Pioneer as to the real reason for the
swampy taste in the water coming
from the city pipes for several days.
Inquiry on the part Of The Pioneer
brings the information that the actual
cause for the taste of the water is
the fact, that somewhere in the sys-
TEN, there is a body" of water which
is not moving and which has resulted
in the stagnation of that body. From
time to time some of this water gets
back into the main system and talnts
the water being used. ~ -
The engineer Of the water depart
ment advises that investigation has
sbeentFunder way for some time Ito
find just where the idle body of wa
Steris and when found a special flush
ing will beRgiven that section of the
system! in order to release the dead
water. II Is E#f2 <ts& 10 l. 81.
OK The analysisamade%o of the city wa
Ter recentlyrtby the state health de-
partment, reveals that the condition
of the water. as it comes from the
wells is entirely satisfactory, and this
fact would prove that any affection
Of the water must be caused by a
condition" prevailing after the water
leaves the wells. ~ 4,s-
A similar condition existed in the
waters supply little over two years
ago and when the cause was discov-
cred it was found to be some water
which had been shut off from the main
supply by a closed valve, causing
the water to remain inactive in that
part Of the system and become stag
nant, and when the water escaped
from that inactive body it tainted the
rest of the water in the mains.
1t is expected that the trouble will
be located in a short time and the
condition remedied. ~ -
= AS precautionary measure a
quantity Of chlorinated lime was put
into the water system yesterday,
more will be placed in the mains to-
day and another charge will be put
in tomorrow. This action has been
taken upon the advice Of the state
board Of health in order TO- guard
against any possibility Of sickness be-
ing caused by the presence Of the
stagnan water in the mains. %#,
