Authorities Decline" to Reveal What Happens to Captured Men or What Is Learned. CHICAGO, May 8. (Special.) "Coun terfeit" women is the latest resort of the German intelligence office in Amer- ca. Secret Service operatives have within the last week found two in stances of German spies masquerading n women's clothes in Chicago. In one case the spy posed as a lady's maid and found employment in a wealthy North Side home. What happened to the spies the authorities will not dis- lose. Neither will they reveal the nature of the information they were gathering. ny women also are said to be collecting facts for Germany in places where nien cannot work. Word reached Federal officers that a German spy was operating in the home of one of Chicago's richest families, detectives investigated. They exam- ned the servants, one after another. and found nothing to bear out the rumor. 'Is that all?" they asked as tho last kitchen maid was excused. "All but my personal maid," the woman replicjl. "Is she German? 'Yes, but she is quite beyond sus picion. I will vouch for her." The officers insisted on seeing her. She was called in. one of the detectives reached over and seized ler hair. It came off and "the maid" was revealed as a man.

NATION FACING IS WHEAT SHORTAGE 366,000,000 Bushels Fall Sown Estimate. SPRING YIELD 250,000,000 Country Normally Would Need Entire Production. VISIBLE SUPPLY VERY LOW One Briglit Spot on Food Horizon Is Report of Department of Ag riculture That Other Crop Conditions Arc Excellent. WASHINGTON, May 8. Official wheat crop estimates announced today show that with the world facing a bread shortage the United States, un less It cuts its present consumption, probably will produce only enough wheat this year to supply Its own pop ulation. The forecast, compiled by the De partment of Agriculture on conditions May 1, put this country's Winter wheat yield at 366,000,000 bushels, the smallest in 13 years. There will be no estimate of Spring wheat acreage until July, but with a crop of 250.000.000 bushels, which is higher than the average, this country would grow this year a total of only 616,000,000 bushels. The normal American consumption with, seed re quirements Is put at slightly more than 600,000,000 bushels. Reserve Stock Low.

Though he had been In excellent' health for a man of his advanced age General Anderson was 81 years old last January the exertion of going downtown and then his climbing of the stairs had brought on the fatal heart attack. Army Service Notable. General Anderson was a veteran of the Civil War and of the Spanish War and the Philippine insurrection. He was one of few general officers In the reg ular Army who rose from the ranks. He enlisted as a private at the be ginning of the Civil War and came out of It a Captain in the regular Army, with several brevets for extreme gal lantry. He first became acquainted with Portland in 1SS6, when he came to Vancouver Barracks as Colonel of the Fourteenth Infantry. Ever sinco that day, more than SO years ago. General Anderson had claimed Portland as his home, and Portland claimed him. He was In command at Vancouver Barracks from 1886 until the outbreak of the Spanish War In 189S, except for a brief period In 1897-98, when he and the gallant Fourteenth went to Alaska. This was at the time of the Klondike rush. General Anderson was In com mand of what was known as the Lynn Canal district, with headquarters at Dyea, Alaska. Philippine Command Recalled. At the outbreak of the Spanish War in 1898, he was promoted to be Brigadier-General of Volunteers. Aside from, his long residence here he Is perhaps best know to Oregontans as commander of the first expeditionary force to tho Philippines. The Second Oregon was one of the regiments in this force. In three transports they left San Francisco May 26, 1898, arriving at Cavite, in Manila Bay, June 30. En route the expedition touched at the island of Guam, which they captured and annexed as Untteti States territory. The expedition was composed of tho Fourteenth United States Infantry, tha Second Oregon Infantry, the First Cali fornia Infantry and 60 men of tha California Heavy Artillery. Force Captures Manila. General Anderson commanded one of the two brigades of United States troops that captured Manila on August 13, 1898. He was promoted soon after to ba Major-General of Volunteers, and com manded the first division of the fa mous Eighth Army Corps. In the Phil ippine insurrection, which broke out soon afterward, he did gallant work. The Second Oregon and the Fourteenth Infantry, his old command, particularly distinguished themselves in this cam paign. General Anderson was affectionately called "Tommy" by his troops. Though not an officer of the martinet type, ho always maintained strict discipline and had the respect and affection of the soldiers under him. Interest Shown in Men An incident showing the interest hj3 took in the individual welfare of his troops ' occurred at the first brigada Inspection at Cavite. General Ander son walked through all the ranks of the various regiments personally, and spoke to many of the soldiers, asking them about their equipment, clothing, their homes and the like. General Anderson was as loyal to tho men of his command as he expected them to be to him. On one memorable) ICoUl'lUded, on i'a.a 17, Coluuiu 0.)
