Agents of the American steamship
Texan, a vessel of 14,000 tons, re
ceived advices Monday from naval au
thonties that she was sinking at sea.
The location of the ship was not given.
The naval authorities did not state the
cause of the Texan's distress, but re
ports from other sources were that the
vessel had been rammed amidships in
collision with another ship.
The dreadnaught Texas established
the highest record for gunnery prac

Norfolk, Va. Naval intelligence
officers left here Monday night for
Baltimore with Walter Spoerman, sus
pected of being an active figure in
plots launched by Captain Boy-ed. the
former German military attache, and
believed to have been a captain in the
German army.
According to the story unofficially
told here, the man was arrested Satur
day while in the act of attempting to
blow up a magazine in the unfinished
army aviation field under construction
near Newport News.
The prisoner will be turned over to
officers of the department of Justice at
Baltimore for a hearing. So far the
only charge formally lodged against
him is understood to be that he is a
dangerous enemy alien.
Documents found in his possession,
however, are declared to reveal his
connection with Boy-ed and former
German Ambassador Bernstorff, and to
incriminate in a spy plot persons in
Washintgon, Baltimore and other
cities. Details of the contents of the
documents are withheld, but it is un
derstood that they will lead to a num
ber of arrests within a few days.
Spoermann's activities are said to
have attracted the attention of naval
intelligence officers many weeks ago,
but his arrest was deferred until addi
tional evidence could be gathered.
Officers followed him night and day,
however, the quest leading through
several cities, and even to 'at least two
army camps.
Frequently, according to the story,
the prisoner posed as an officer of the
United States army.
Finally he visited the great army
and navy base on Hampton Roads.
Before that a young naval agent, pos
ing as a friend of Germany, had made
himself acquainted with Spoermann.
The officer followed his man closely
in Newport News and ' finally to the
aviation field, four miles north of this
city, where the arrest was made.

Auckland Geddes Asks for 420,000
Britons to Carry On War.
London Nearly half a million men
from Great Britain alone are to be re
cruited into the ' British army at the
earliest date possible, and it is prob-
able that many more will be added to
that number in the coming month.
these will comprise the younger
men, who up to the present have been
exempt because of their employment
in industries essential to the war
services.
This announcement was made in the
house of commons Monday by Sir
Auckland Geddes, minister of national
service, whose statement oi the gov
ernment's man-power proposals are re
plete with interesting details of Great
Britain 8 strength in the struggle, into
which she means to throw her full re
sources.
The minister set forth the status and
needs of the British fighting and mu
nitioning forces and measures the gov
ernment is taking after agreement
with most of the labor leaders for re
cruiting from the classes of skilled
workers, who were promised exemp
tion when conscription was adopted.
The empire has enrolled 7,500,000
fighting and labor battalion forces dur
ing the war, according to the state
ment of the minister, and now has
more than 4,000,000 enrolled, but
needs more men to hold its own against
the enemy until the American strength
is available.
He praised the spirit in which the
labor leaders have met the govern
ment, but regretted that the Amal
gamated Society of Engineers had re
mained outside the conference, adding,
however, that the institution was still
open to the members of this society.
He paid warm tribute to the work of
the women and declared that some of
the young men among the million ex
empted workers apparently considered
themselves a privileged class and
threatened to hold up by strikes the
building of airplanes and ships.
Washington, D. C. Bills to amend
the food law so as to empower the
food administration to compel observ
ance of wheatless and meatless days,
or any other measures it prescribes,
were introduced Wednesday by Repre
sentative Lever and Senator Pomerene,
acting for the administration. Mr.
Lever explained the bills in the fol
lowing statement:
"The food situation the world over
is acute and demands upon us are
growing each day. With a disrupted
labor situation, production approach
ing its maximum, the vital question,
therefore, is one of conservation of
foodstuffs.
"We must strike at the waste evil.
The administration has undertaken to
do this through voluntary agreements
and has succeeded wonderfully well,
but there is a percentage of recalci
trants we have not been able to reach
by appeals to their patriotism.
"We purpose t to reach these under
the bill which Senator Pomerene and I
are introducing.
"The bill is especially aimed at ho
tels, restaurants, dining cars and pub
lic eating places.
"In such establishments, I should
think, probably 50 per cent of the food
of the country is consumed, and it is in
such places that we find the greatest
waste. There should be power in the
hands of the food administration to fix
the portions of vital necessities that
may be served to any one individual,
We hope also in this bill to see to
it that all classes of people, rich and
poor, are treated alike. It is not fair
to the man on the Btreet who cannot
afford a steak at 50 cents, for the gor-
mandizing rich to waste enough on one
meal to feed a whole family of poor,
"This bill provides that thePru
dent is authorized to issue ruleeanjU
regulations modifying, limiting or pro
hibiting the sale, use, manufacture or
distribution by any person conducting
a public eating place or by any manu
facturer, producer, carrier, distributor
or other person of any foodstuff, feed
or material necessary for the produc-
tion, manufacture or preservation of
foodstuffs or feeds.
"This bill is confined to foodstuffs,
feeds and materials necessary for their
production, manufacture and preserva
tion. There is no idea of price fixing
in it."

WAR PLANT BURNED
Million-Dollar Fire Razes City Mock
of War Supply Shops In Indian
apolis Thought Incendiary.
Indianapolis, Ind. Indianapolis suf
fered its fourth $1,000,000 fire in the
last 30 days, Sunday night, when
flames broke out in the Industrial
building, Tenth street and the canal,
and destroyed more than a city block.
The big brick structure, occupying the
block from Tenth to Eleventh streets
and from Fayette street to the canal,
housed about 80 manufacturing estab
lishments, a majority of which were
making machines and supplies which
are being used by the United States
government in the war work.
Fire Chief Loucks declared it was
his belief that the fire was of incendi
ary origin.
Despite the fact that six dwelling
houses, a church, grocery and saloon
were burned, no loss of life was re
ported. Falling walls placed the fire
men in great danger and hindered
them in their work by cutting line
after line of hose, which was playing
water on the flames.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular in the city's history, a high
wind from the Southwest sending
showers of sparks throughout the
neighborhood and setting fire to ad
joining dwellings.
Thousands of spectators stood on tne
canal, which was frozen solid, and
watched the work of the firemen, de
spite the low temperature.
The cold did not afreet the play of
many streams of water on the build
ing, as the water mains were in good
working order. Immediately upon the
arrival of the fire department great
holes were cut in the ice over the can
al and engines started to augment the
water supply. The fire was first seen
in the center court of the Industrial
building, which was about 600 feet
long. It broke out at almost the same
instant in a small manufacturing plant
at the southwest corner of the build
ing, which was leveled to the ground
within less than two hours.
ENTENTE'S HOPES ARE GONE
Berlin Paper Says U. S. Will Not Ap
pear On Wetern Front.
Amsterdam The semi-official Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, of Ber
lin, publishes a report from Washing
ton that the United States is sending
90,000,000 bushels of wheat to Europe
and adds:
"This is a heavy blow to the entente
cause. Shorn of rhetorical flourishes,
it means that America has decided not
to appear on the European battlefield
for an indefinite time. What moved
President Wilson to this change of
front, which is the most important de
velopment in American war policy?"
The newspaper attributes it partly
to the achievements of the German
submarines, partly to internal causes,
and especially to growing pacifism and
friction with Japan. It continues:
'The last hope of the entente has
gone. It will inevitably cause deeD
depression in a ranee, whose bread ra
tion may be increased slightly, but for
whose war-weary troops there is now
no hope of relief."
Prison for Emma Goldman.
Washington, D. C Conviction of
Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk
man on charges of conspiring to pre
vent operation of the selective service
act by urging men of draft age not to
register, was Tuesday sustained by the
Supreme court. Conviction of Louis
Kramer and Morris Becker on charges
of conspiring to prevent persons of
draft age from registering, were also
affirmed. Kramer was sentenced to
two years' imprisonment and a $10,000
fine and Becker, to 20 months im
prisonment.
Fewer Deaths Reported.
Tacoma, Wash. Health conditions
at Camp Lewis improved considerably
in the last week, according to the re
port issued by Lieutenant-Colonel P.
C. Field, division surgeon. There
were five deaths, including one from
scarlet fever, one from pneumonia and
one from meningitis.
The cases of communicable diseases
total 146 among 31,800 men. Ger
man measles and scarlet fever showed
a marked decrease.
Registration to Follow Closely in Wake
of Youth Reaching Majority.
Washington, D. C. The government
has decided on draft registration of all
young men as fast as they become 21
years old as the means of keeping
filled the ranks of the war army. It
has decided against raising the draft
age limit above 31 years.
An administration bill was intro
duced Tuesday at the request of the
War department, by Chairman Cham
berlain, of the senate military commit
tee, to register for draft all men who
have reached 21 since June 5. 1917.
when the draft law became effective.
me administration s support seems
to assure its prompt passage. The bill
agrees with the recommendations of
Provost Marshal-General Crowder.
Other administration bills introduced
by Chairman Chamberlain, at the re
quest of the War department, will
supplant the draft law to make it
workable under conditions that have
developed.
