the division Judge-Advocate, who with
held thetr nimri. What action In re
' sard to their cas In to be taken the
Jud Advocate would not say beyond
the fart that Instructions were awaited
from Washington.
According; to the Judge-Advocate's
office, the men are accused of haTlnjc
entered Into a plot to shoot their offi
cers as soon as they were placed on
the battle front In France, and to de
liver the men of their organisation. If
possible. Into the hands of the Hermans
as prisoners. ,
If tha accusations are sustained the
men face death as the extreme penalty
and In anjr case discharge from the
Army and internment as enemy aliens,
the Judge-Advocate said.
. t ! s Brlaaa Arrests.
Tha arrests were made In connection
with the clean-up of Camp Lewis of
enemy alien soldiers, which already
has resulted in about 209 men being
dropped from service. A total of 34
men were discharged today. What dls
ronltlon Is to be made of them when

thorttles to decide.
Private T. J. Tampanes. of head
quarters company at Camp Lewis, is In
the division headquarters guardhouse.
charged with having sold discharges
from tha Army to Camp Lewis soldiers

Tampanes. according to officials, ob
tained the blanks from some unknown
source and found a number of victims,
the men thinking they were getting out
of Army service with a clean bill.

Another alien enemy. Mike Bellan,
an Austrian drafted from Butte, where
he was working In the copper mines as
an expert powder man. was credited
with having aald all Americans were
f exits and ho hoped Oerrrnny would give
them a good licking, lie will be dis
charged and arrested on a Presidential
warrant.
A number of unusual rases have de
veloped In the weedlng-out process.
One Austrian who was 111 In the hos
pital, when told he would be dis
charged, was pleased until told ha
would be classed as an enemy alien.
Ha said he had hoped to bo discharged
so he could go back and support his
family, but that he would rather be
shot than discharged as an enemy alien.
A number of Poles. Serbs and Bohe
mians, technically enemy aliens, are to
remain In the service because of their
loyalty to the I'nited States. The
Army Intelligence department and mil
itary police are watching the aliens
closely, and aa fast as they show sus
picious Indications of favoring this
country's enemies they are called up
for examination Into thetr past.
WASHINGTON. Feb. . Officers of
the Judge-Advocate-Oeneral's office
said today that any National Army sol
diers charged with plotting treason
would be tried by military courtmar
tlal and If found guilty would be liable
to the death penalty. No report on the
arrests at Camp Lewis had reached the
Judge-Advocate General.
iBTearlgatlaa Casaea First.
In the ordinary course tha division
commander would make no report on
such cases until the matter had been
carefully Investigated, and. In case
definite charges were filed, not until
the actual trial of those concerned had
been completed.
Action to be taken depends entirely
upon whether the men under arrest
were apprehended while still In the
military service or after they had been
discharged previously on grounds of
holding enemy sympathy. If still In
the service, they would ba dealt with
under military law.
If. however, the plotter were dis
charged from the Army and then ar
rested, tha military authorities would
simply report tha case to the Depart
ment of Justice and then hold the pris
oners for tha disposition of that tri
bunal. a
Secret rle Assists.
Tha War Department recently or
dered ateps taken to weed out of the
service not only every alien suspected
of holding allegiance to the enemies
of this country, but those also
whose affiliations before the entry
of tha United Statea Into the
war led to a suspicion of their loy
alty. In this work the secret service
and other branches of the Department
of Justice have co-operated with the
War Department. Upon the dismissal
of a suspect from the Army, his name,
description and place of residence are
sent to tha Department of Justice, or.
If tha man comes within the classifi
cation of "dangerous enerrjy alien. ha
Is held for tranafer to a detention
camp.
No statistics have been made public
as to the number of men discharged
as a result of this campaign.
Army officers do not believe, how
ever, that the total of 2i)0 reported
from Camp Lewis would ba a fair
average for ail camps. Discharges
from the National Army, they pointed
out. catura. ly would be- larger than
from tha National Guard.

it cannot possibly offend. Miss Tal

foolish virgin playing with fire and not
realizing that fire burns, but her actions
are free from any , passionate feeling
which would spoil the suspenseful aid
humorously delicate situations. .
