HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH URGES SUIT FOR INDIAN STEPS Alleges Backwater at McCall's Ferry Has Midden Treas ured Carvings Washington, Feb. 13.—The German secret agents for months have been exerting every effort to gain confi dential information concerning the United States navy, the fortifications guarding the principal American ports and the Panama canal, is a fact well •known to tho government of the United States. From sources that are official it,ls known that recently the navy depart ment came into possession of three letters by a man who has been in a position to get certain confidential data concerning the navy, written to officials of the German government, in which this man, an American citi zen of Gorman extraction, offered to sell "certain confidential information." Photographic copies of these letters are on file in the navy department, while other copies are in the posses sion of the secret service. | It has also been established that on several occasions since the war In Kurope started German "surveying parties" have been detected at work along the route of tho Panama canal. Mapped Homos to the Canal These groups of Germans, some of them from German ships interned at 1 anama, and others resident in that country, are said to have mapped routes leading to vital points along the canal route and also to have made note of the location of powerhouses, lights and other stations which. If de stroyed, would cither block or ser iously impede the operation of the canal. These men, however, were careful to remain on tho Panama side of the canal strip, and so far as is known, none of them ventured across the line into the territory which is under the jurisdiction of Colonel Chester Hard ing, U. S. A., governor of the canal zone. The statements regarding the Ger man activities in Panama have been confirmed by several army officers who are familiar with the details. The matter has been made the sub ject of several reports to the war de partment, and all necessary precau lions have been taken to frustrate any efforts on tho part of 'the sur veying parties" to damage the canal. . man who offered to sell navy Information to the Germans Is well known in both naval and civilian circles. He has never held an offi cial position in the navy department, but at times has enjoyed permits, the use of which made it possible for him to gain confidential information dur ing battle maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet The prompt work of the secret service put an end to his machina harm e he was ttble to do any ment l sald:° mCial ° f Ule nnVy de P art * ?.v true that we hav photo graphs of three such letters, written by the man you name.

Attach it to the upper round on the plow as illus trated. Fixed in this manner it is ac cessible and is also whtro you can keep your eye on it. "The plan is much more satisfac tory than carrying clevis pins and tools around in your pocket, or put- ting theru down where they are hard ' to find." Clears Blotchy Skin Don't worry about blotches or other skin troubles. You can nave a clear, clean complexion by using a little zemo, obtained at any drug store for 25c, or extra large bottle at SI.OO. Zemo easily removes all traces of pimples, black heads, blotohes, eczema, and ringworm and makesythe skin clear and healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrat ing, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains nothing. It is easily applied and costs a mere trifle for each application. It is always dependable. *' The 13.
