Carroll Herald of Last Week Tells of
Discovery of Wireless Station
not 150 Miles From Carroll.
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FIND IT
Dispatches Found From Mexico, Cal
ifornia, Cuba and Other Points—
Message About U-Boat Victory
The Carroll Herald of last Wednes
day contained a startling news Item
which will be of interest to readers
or the Review. The article follows:
The writer is in possession of some
things that would startle people who
believe that we are in no danger of
plots and conspiracies, such as are re
ported from distant parts of the coun
try. The fact is we are confronted
with the same conditions that exist all
over the land in these stirring war
times. The following story comes
from a source that is absolutely un
questionable and was related to the
writer In connection with others of
like nature.
Late in June a wireless station was
discovered in a grove in a farm com
munity not 150 miles from Carroll.
The aerial and foundation were built
of good material and splendidly
equipped. Ostensibly, it was owned
by a 19 year old boy. son of the farm
er on vyhose ground it stood. The on
ly detached persons in the neighbor
hood were two "farm hands." One
day government agents descended up
on the wireless and took possession.
Inside were found dispatches from
Mexico, California, Cuba and other
remote points. One message was
from the English channel telling of
a U-boat "victory." The two "farm
hands'' were found to bo expert op
erators. presumably representing the
German govornment. It was found
that they had run heavy bills at near
by telephone stations in sending out
"grain quotations." There is a line
of elevators along the main railroad
owned mostly by foreign capitalists
not friepdly to us now, and these
"farm hands" were working in con
spiracy with other "graindealers." In
formation received by wireless was
sent away in cipher, grain quotations
being used in the code. These "grain
quotations" were sent to Oma!ia, Den
ver, Chicago, New York, San Francis
co. thence to Spain and elsewhere, it
is assumed. Many readers of the
Herald know tho spot where the wire
leas was located and would be
startled to know that the German
spy system has been operated so near
th^ir home.
Now as never before is eternal vig
ilance necessary. As we send boys to
war, does anybody wonder that our
authorities are preparing to deal the
spy system a death blow?

open from 9 to 12 a. m. and from 1:30
until 5 In the afternoon.
Orders havo come from headquar
ters to send dressings as rapidly as
possible, not waiting to fill the usually
required large box. This shows, along
with the messages received l»y the
chairman of the Red Cross, how ur
gent is the need for every kind of sur
gical dressing. Newspapers are now
being used in place of sterilized dress
ings in hospitals, which can't be sup
plied rapidly enough. This must not
be when our boys go into action.
Plan to spend at least one hall day

work room. It's one way you can do
your bit.
