Howard ,of Voncalla, who was among the fighters in tho front r;tnks of the American army in Fr;:nee, writes to a friend at Yon ealla and includes what a captured German Colonel .said of their divi sion. He writes: France, Nov. 20, IP IS. Just a few lines to let you know I received your long and interesting letter and it imtde me feel almost as good as when thoy signed the armis tice. Weil you talked about having to get a license to kill a weenie. Well there used to be u bounty on them, but they are protecting them now until they hegiu to raise h airain, and then there won't be any limit. I would sure like to be back to to derr hunting and 1 think I will h. 'tore next deer season. I think if a fellow can kill a Hun on tlm fly he ought to be able to kill a deer on the run. We have got back far enough thai we are eating lots of saner kraut. Here is what a tlerman fulonel said about the First Divi sion : " Ye.Mi't'day 1 received orders lo hold the ground at all costs. The American barrages toward my posi tion and Mm work of your artillery was nianehms. The barrage was so dense it was im possible lor us to move out ol our duuouts. Following this barrage closely were the troops (if Ihe First Division. I saw ihein forge ahid and knew thai all was lost. All nii: lit I remained in my dimo.it, hoping vainly that some thing would happen that would per mit me to join my army. This morn ing your troops captured me and here 1 am. after four years of fight ing, a prisoner. Yesterday I knew t he First Div is ion was opposite us und I knew we would hate lo put up the hitrdrst right of the wir. The First Division is wonderful and the Ceniian army knows it. We did not iM'lievn that within fie years Ihe A niericitns muld develnp ii division siu-h as the First Division. The work of lis tinantry and artillery is wor thy of the 1,, ,;l ariui' in the world.' You may hear a bl about other rlivisiot.s, but we ha'c got Ihein all skinned. I have s'-n in the pitprrs from the States where other divi sions bavf put credit for work that we actually did ourselves. J. (.1 i:Dl.i: AMI VH'IMT V. .j.

BOEHME Will BE TRIED AS SPY HtMdinie May He Hi-ought to tho I niUtl Stato for Trial Humor That Ho SiK'iit Six Weeks nt IHIIard Not Authentic. Plots ot International scope, em bracing what are said to be pro Hun activities reaching from New York to Portland and over the allied countries of Lurope, were disclosed Saturday ultornoou when William U. liyron, special agent of the U. S. Department of Justice, and a squad of his deputies searched the resi dence, office and Bafety deposit vault of Joseph Woerndle, attorney and former Austrian consul, and found papers which may Involve him deep ly in the activities or Captain Han Uoehme, a resident of Portland un til October, l!U4, and later a direct agent of Uio imperial German gov ernment, so the Portland Telegram reports. Uoehme, who is widely known iu Portland because of IiIb connection at various times with Hotel Port land, Arlington Club, University Club and Commercial Club, and his partnership with A. K. Uult in the Northwestern Importing Company, is now under arrest in Kngland as u Herman spy. As a result of the Portland disclosures he will be ex tradited for trial In the United States, whoro most of his efforta on behalf of tho Kaiser were centered. Woerndle Is purported to have been Hoelime's attorney before tho hitler's departure from Portland and to have been continued In the capac ity of Hoelime's special agent all through tho war. Among the papers found in Woerndle's possession la one which may Implicate him as the emissary who obtained for ltoehmo the fraudulent passport which made It possible for Iloehme to travel over the I'uitod States, Canada, Kng land, Franco, .Spain, Holland and other K tiro pea n countries as an American citizen under the name of Jenks Leroy Thrasher. The pass port was Issued to Iloehme under this name by the State Department and It whs under this name that he whs taken off a steamer at Falmouth Kngland. in January, Hi 17, and held by the Knglish authorities as a tier man spy. The case against Iloehme, which was at tirst supported by mere sus picion, Is now said to have a sub stantial treasonable basis, because of Ihe papers seized from Woerndle. Among these. It is understood, Is a full power of attorney left with Woerndle by Iloehme, an order to iloehme from the imperial German government telling him that ho would huoii he called on for duty as a Herman reservist, ami correspon dence which passed between Woern dle and Iloehme since Uoehme left Portland, and w hlle he was travel ing from oan end of the world to the other as a Hun spy. The tetter from the Herman war department to Ilohiue informing him that he would be expected to do his duty us a reservist was dated tho latter part or l!i:i, nearly a year be fore the war broke out, and con firming other documents which have been, unearthed showing that the German government had made plans Tor military operations many mouths, even years. In advance of Hie actual declaration of war. The more significance la attached to this document because of Hoelime's de parture from Portland after the war commenced. After a search had been made of Woerndle's home, office and safety deposit vault and Hie papers sought hud been found, be a as taken in hand and Interrogated and later re leased on his own recognizance. Thine who cross-examined hi in would not say Just how far the In vestigation whs conducted nor what answer wits made by Woerndle to uuestions It is understood that he had I n under surveillance for month, the climax to the vigil com ing Saturday afternoon when tin officers Ml that Hie search might result in disclosing Mime concrete, incriminating evidence again?'! Itoehiue '1 hey (1W feel Rtltlsfjod thai the case against Iloehme Is strong enough to warrant making n demand tor his extradition. Humor says that Captain Iloehme ha' secretly visited Portland since his ilepaiture in October, MH4, but the Department 'of Justice scouts lhi-t as untrue, ltoehmo Is Paid to have spent six w eeks at his wife's home at Dtllard, Ore, after he loll I'nt Hand, and to have gone thence to New- Vork and later to Kuropo. His wife was Miss Helen Willis, of Hil lard. She ami two children are said to bo living in Germany at the pres ent time. Now that the Portland end of lb a, Continued on page 4),
