Dolfen himself is not naturalized, although he made an attempt to claim naturalization because he said his father, temporarily in this country, some time ago, votd at an election. While undoubtedly priding himself that he was "getting away" with his operations, Dolfen made the usual mis take of talking too much and of carry ing in his pockets pictures of the Kaiser, the Kaiser's family and other things German, such as a photograph of the submarine liner Deutschland, and made many pro-German remarks in public. As a matter of fact, Dolfen was watched every minute of the day and night by clever operatives, under the personal direction of Chief Inspector Bonham, so that his every move is known and the actions of his consorts are on file in the office of United States District Attorney Reames.

Adv. , , 16 ATTAIN MAXIMUM fOWERSHEADS HO TV OR ROLL WITH 500 PFR I'EXT, Article for Overthrow of Holien zollerns and KtstabHsIimciit of Republic Widely Circulated in Kaiser's Kealm. "WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. An article entitled "Peace? A New Humbug," written by a German and circulated in Germany by German republicans work tnar from Switzerland for the overthrow of the Hohenzollerna and the establish ment of a republic, was made public here today by the committee on public information, with an English transla tion. The writer attacks the junkers and pan-Germanists for instigating, the war. and declares that the war lords, having worn out their tales of victories won, now have turned to the farce of peace to instill patience into a starv ing and war-weary people. The force, he says, is presented in ac cordance with all the rules of dramatic art, on this programme: "Act 1. The central powers make peace proposals based upon and un acceptable by reason of territorial en largement, annexation, both open and disguised, a colossal strengthening of Germany as a military power. "Act 2. The allies, who will fight to secure a true and lasting peace based on mutual understanding and putting an end to military states, reject these peace proposals exactly as tho Ger man government foresees. "Act 3 and curtain. The German people is informed through the bellig erent (fieid-gray) press that the wicked enemy will have absolutely nothing to do with peace, that they in sist upon the complete annihilation of the German people; that, therefore. naught is left but to endure through everything, to starve to the very end, to shed their blood to the last dr.op until junker and captain of industry have attained the object of their war, which is the robbery of other peoples. the enlargement of their power both abroad and at home." "Germany has torn out by the ro.ots the sympathy of every thinking neu tral," the writer says, "that sympathy cannot be recovered by any such pa thetic peace suggestion- as this.'

They later called htm into a conference and ques tioned him concerning himself and his movements and it was at this time that he declared he had destroyed cer tain photographs and made light of them, sayinx they were of no value whatever. Immediately after this ses sion, he hurried to his room and de stroyed some thingrs. Iolfen s suspicious actions having been called to the attention of the Immigration Inspector's office, he was watched and developments came rap idly, but it was thought best by those in charge to permit of his remaining with his company as Its chief cook, es pecially since Captain Crossley. in com mand, hud requested that he be lett as long as possible, as he was a good cook. Officers Constantly on Unard. For a while Dolfen was in Astoria, going there instead,of to Fort Rosen cranz. as he evidently had planned. He was seen in company with promi nent Germans of Astoria practically all of the time he was. there, according to Federal reports, and all of the names of these people are in the hands of the Government authorities, here. When war was declared with Ger many and the mobilization call was sent out, Dolfen reported to his Lieu tenant for duty and has since been at tached to Company C as chief cook. He was watched constantly, his offi cers knowing the facts concerning him in sufficient detail to be on guard. It was because of delay in telegraphic correspondence with Washington that he was permitted to leave Portland with the company, as it had been planned that he should be arrested Just before the boys left for the East Friday after noon. It was not until late Friday afternoon that Acting United States Attorney-General Davis telegraphed au thority to take Dolfen under the Presi dent's alien proclamation when Mr. Rankin was able to proceed with the actual arrest. He then telegraphed Sheriff Taylor at Pendleton and ar ranged it. Three Stories Told. Dolfen was taken off the troop train at 1:30 A. M., lodged in the L'matilla County Jail, and was held until the arrival of Deputy United States Mar shal Berry, who "was sent from Portland to bring him here. Dolfen's history is clouded. He gives his age as 23 years, his birthday being last Friday. He admits being unnatu ralized and of German birth, but tells three distinct stories as to his arrival in this country, none of which, accord ins to Mr. R.ankin, can be verified by Government records. He says he came to America first in 1901 with his par ents, his two brothers. Otto and Frank (Captain and Lieutenant, respectively, in the German army), and his sister. They remained here nine months, he says, when they returned to Germany, but he did not stay long and came back to this country. He has a cousin, it is said, living in Weed. Cal., named Jack Dolfen. Will iam Dolfen is said to be quite well known in San Francisco and Northern California. Dolfen Known to Manyi Here. Dolfen is known to a number of Portland people, among them . Y. Harry, Jr.. son of the Federal mediator. To -him Dolfen on occasion virtually the time. He was a generous sptttider and always urjfed us to take the beet of everything. He wore diamonds of large size and a part of the time liven at a local high-priced hotel, where it was said that the cheapest rom he could get would run up to $75 ier month. "I well remember several times he took me down to the Dalbek. a German ship interned here; he said he kziew all the boys on her and they alwsiys let him go aboard, but would never permit me to go on with him. He also visited other ships of Germany down river. He was so talkative that I suppose for a long time not much attention was paid to him and that was how he got along so well as he did." cial.)
