A Serbian by birth, naturalized In 191$, was starting on a daring crim inal careet which was interrupted in Portland yesterday, if the charges against Grozdan K van off. arrested by Francis S. Alkus. of the Burns Detec tive Agency, and Deputy Sheriff Phil lips yesterday, prove true. An indict ment on an attempt to defraud is sought from the grand Jury by the Burns agency.

The drafts were on the Port Orchard. Wash., Kit sap County, bank, and were not ne gotiable, as Kvanoff had no funds there.

According to information in the hands of the authorities Evanoff drew checks every day on the Port Orchard Bank since leaving that section two weeks ago, and may have some -money cached away. He had a bunch of skel eton keys when arrested, and was maintaining rooms at the Ramapo and Palace hotels. In the latter he had given a bogus check for the rental.

We went through the nervous process of working in the company of the reptile, George Walsh even got bitten, and after it was all over we found there are no rattlesnakes in Spain. So we painted out hia rattles on the film and he be came a Spanish asp.

You are an eyewitness. You see the enemy approaching, the pow erlessness of the city, the inadequacy of its forts and defenses. You see the havoc wrought by the enemy's cruisers, its submarines, its airships by its shells, shrapnel, bombs. You see the most beautiful skyline in the world in flames; the metropolis of the Western Hemisphere devastated. You 6ee New York fall into the hands of the enemy and the desecration that follows.
