ON GUARD FOR
INTRIGUERS
Department of Justice Keeps Close
Watch On All Alien
Enemies.
WASHINGTON, July 7, (By Mail).
—That German intrigues against
property and stations of the United
States navy in this country must still
be carefully guarded against is shown
by a case which is now before the De
partment of Justice, says a statement
issued here today at navy league head-1
quarters.
! In a southern city with a population
of about r,0,000 people, says this state- i
ment .there is a colony of German sub- \
jects who recently petitioned the Gov-|
i ernment, through the Department of
Justice, to waive certain of the restric
tions placed upon them as to their
i residence in fixed zones.
These restrictions prevent alien ene
mies from living or going within a I
certain distance of any naval station
or ship.
The petition from the Germans of
the Southern city, mentioned above,
was so phrased on its face that it ap
peared to be an entirely harmless re
quest. Federal officials in the South
were inclined to grant it. The petition
was, however, referred to Washington.
An investigation proved that there
was on foot a scheme to place certain
German agents close to the navy yard
where considerable mischief might be
done. It has now been decided that,
; not only will the areas from which
these Germans are barred not be lim
ited or reduced, but that increased sur
veillance over every movemnt will be
j maintained.
The belief is expressed here that
had this request been granted, it was
the intention of alien enemies in other
cities to make a similar request, and
that in the end serious harm might
I have resulted.

KING GEORGE DROPS
HIS GERMAN NAME
(By Associated Tress Dispatch)
LONDON, July 17.—King George
has dropped the name of Saxeeoburg
Gotha for the British royal family
and has taken the name Windsor. The
German name resulted from the pre
dominance of Teutonic blood in the
present holders of the crown, and its
discard is evidence of the king’s de
sire to renounce everything in any
way connected with the enemy of his
people.

BODY OF LIEUT. WELSH,
BOMB THROWER, FOUND
The Navy Department authorizes
the following:
The body of Liuet. Luther Welsh, of
Kansas City, killed by the explosion of
a bomb in a flight at the naval proving
grounds, Indianhead, Maryland, on No
vember 8 1916, washed ashore and was
recovered by a workman on June 25.
The remains, which were identified,
had floated two miles down the Poto
mac and to the opposite side of the
river. It had been supposed, until the
recovery Tuesday, that the body had
been destroyed in the explosion.
Lieut. Welsh and C. K. Bronson, of
New York, went aloft in a naval hy
droplane at Indianhead on the after
noon of November 8, 1916, for exper
imental practice. Anti-submarine
bombs were to be dropped at a target
in the Potomac river. Two bombs
were successfully reelased, but the
third exploded near the machine,
wrecking the plane and killing both oc
cupants. The body of Lieut. Bronson
was recovered shortly after the acci
dent, but no trace could be found of
his companion.
