German Spies Operating
at Vancouver Barracks
and Precautions Taken
Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 26. German
spies are" operating in the arhiy post
here according to evidence gathered to
day. - -V
A number of army mules have been
stabbed with a pointed instrument, mak
ing it necessary to kill several. Efforts
have been made to poison the water
which supplies the barracks, and, it i:
persistently reported, poisoned bread
has been found.
The post commander today flatly de
nied that a German liad been shot as
he tried to gain entrance to the bar
racks bakery.
Both inside and outside guards at the
post have been doubled and the activi
ties of the , alleged enemy agents have
been decreased.
Colonl Jones, post commander, admit
ted today that army authorities were
conducting a vigorous investigation of
alleged attempts to poison the camp's
source of water. Repeated attempts to
poison the water are said to have been
made.
Evidence indicates that the plotting
is the work of German agents within
the military reservation. Evidently the
plotters are soKliers or employes at the
post. Although Colonel Jones refused
to make such a statement, it is under
stood from the various precautionary
measures the army authorities take
this view.
Asked concerning the report that a
spy was shot as he entered the post
bakery, Calonel Jones said: "Although
we are doing everything in our power
to put an end to this work, we have
not reached a stage whore we shoot
