We're volunteers. which may or not
be indicative OF the percentage Of
volunteers under the pesce-time
draft Of 1910.
That more men will be drafted
into the army under the 1910 Sc
leetive Service act seems almost
certain. Population figures in both
county and city have gone up con-
siderably since 1918.
Thus far there have not been so
volunteers altogether in the county
and one of the draft boards
(Eatonville) has had none at all.
II seems likely that 1t will be
necessary TO draft men from the
lists when the next call is made
about Jan. 3.

the committee: others contemplate
ed will deal with Fascist. Com
munist and Japanese activities.
One committee member said he
believed the committee would fol-
low that technique rather than
making public its findings through
hearings.
The mass of documents, most
Of them in German, accumulated
by committee investigators and
reproduced in the 500-page book
centered chiefly around two men.
They were:
DIR. Ferdinand A. kertess, an
American citizen, head OF the
Chemical Marketing Co, New
York. an American firm. The
committee said his activities, to-
gether with those OF numerous
German individuals and organiza-
tons, indicated that Germany's
efforts in this country were not
devoted solely toward propaganda
and so-called military espionage,
but also reflect the fact that the
German government over a period
of years has been engaged in the
policy of penetrating
into the economic structure OF this
country and those OF Central and
South America"
Or. Manfred zapp. director of
L Trsnsocean News Service, a
German agency. The justice de-
partment is seeking a federal
grand jury indictment of Zapp on
charges that he failed to register
with the state department as an
agent of a foreign government.

By JlAAY HAlTo

The Dies committee reproduced
correspondence between Zapp and
Hans T homsen, now charge
d'affairs OF the German embassy.
The committee commented: The
German embassy and various Ger
man consulates throughout the
country took a lively interest in
spreading the work OF the Trans
ocean News Service"
The committee reported that in
the records OF the Chemical Mar
keting Co. 1t found a plan entitled
The organization Of German in
dustry in America after the war "
The plan envisioned an organize
ton constructed upon three col
umns," with Kertess proposed as
director OF each:
THE Board of Trade for Ger
man American c m m e r c e.
Inc, to be presided over by the
New York commercial attache,
with headquarters in New York
and branches in other cities.
1.-THE American Group for Trade
4 With Germany. Inc, to be a
vehicle for cultivating personal
connections between American
manufacturers and analogous or
CARNATIONS in Germany"
1.-THE German University
> League, Inc. to foster ex-
change Of cultural and social re-
lations between any and
America.
The plans for each organization
were worked out in great detail
and in connection with them il
was suggested that local German
banks be organized into a banking
institute.
