GERMAN UNDERGROUND
SYSTEM DISCOVERED
EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 8.—When
tho secert service agents of the
United States arrested Ernest Lo
hendorff here they unearthed a
mass of evidence which convinces
thorn that they have discovered an
underground route by which infor
mation has been transmitted be
tween the United States and Mex
ico and from there to Germany
through neutral channels.
For months the government has
been certain that there has been
one or more leaks along thfc border
through which information of mili
tary and strategic value was being
conveyed to Germany by her agents
in the United States. It wa3 known
that valuable information was get
ting to Germany, and no other
method was thought to be possible.
For this reason there ha3 been a
large number of secret service ope
ratives stationed here and at other
border points, shadowing suspects j
and quietly gathering loose ends of
clues which led them to arrest Lo
hendorff. It is believed that con
federates of the sucpectcd spy are
ur.der survoillance by government
agents, and other arrests are ex
pected to follow immediately.
The evidence seized unearths a
mast intricate system of espionage
and underground channels of com
munication. Several prominent na
uralized Germans are said to be im
plicated in the plot. Lohendorff is
thought to be the local agent to j
whom the information was passed !
by other German agents ar.d he in j
turn passed it to other agents on j
the Mexican side of the line.

NO LABOR DRAFT WITHOUT
ALSO PROPERTY DRAFT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—
The scarcity of labor and tbc urg
ency of war work have resulted in
great pressure from certain quar
ters fer conscription of labor.
The government, some people
think, ought to force workmen to
work on government tasks. Parts
of the wr.r program, like 3hip con
struction and the building of air
planes, is halting because labor is
lacking.
The adminstration has, up to
this time, refused to authorize any
step looking to conscription of
labor.
“The time may come,’’ said
Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis
Post, “when it will be neccesary to
conscript labor, but when that time
comes, it will be necessary also to
take over the industry in which
the labor is conscripted.
"The attitude of the government
has been very clearly stated by Sec

retary of Labor Wm. B. Wilson,
who has said repeatedly that under
no circumstances will labor be con
scripted in a private profit employ
ment. Such conscription would be
slavery.
There can be no conscription of
labor, no use of soldiers for labor
purposes, in any industry controll
ed by private parties or used for ;
private profit.” i
If the lumber industry cannot t
get on without conscripting labor, <
the forests and mills must be taken >
over by the government. And the t
secretary has made clear his posi
tion that when these industries are
taken over and conscripted labor is I
pplied to them, the former owners
nil not bo paid a profit. The best
hey can hope for will be the return
f their properties in a condition
10 worse than when they were
aken.
