WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Germany’s policy of “spur
los versenkt”—sink without a trace—was turned against
two of her spies on an army transport bound for France,
according to a letter from an officer of engineers to his j
I wife. - I
Whfen the transport was two days out, two German |
: stowaways were discovered in the hold. .
There were no formalities, no red tape. The men!
| were simply haled to the deck of the vessel, a firing squad j
ordered up, and execution carried out. • i
: Then the bodies were dropped overboard.
No report is on file at the war or navy departments.
At the war department, however, it is suggested that the i
officer commanding the transport, considering the matter
ja “closed incident,” may have thought it unnecessary to
cumber the official records with a report.
“Just another case of ‘spurlos versenkt,’ ” it was sug
gested.

TWO HUNTERS
FROM SEWARD
ARE MISSING
^ -
Some apprehension is felt in Sew
ard for the safety of Ben Sweasy and
“Bill” Weaver. The two left Seward
on October 13th to hunt bear at Ialick'
bay and expected to return in about
two weeks. They took provisions for
that length of time but now that they
are several weeks overdue friends are
beginning to be worried. If they do
not return by tomorrow, boats will un
doubtedly be sent to make a search
for the two hunters, according to U. S.
Deputy Marshal Evans.

NEW RECTORY
I OF EPISCOPALS
IS HALF BUILT
The Episcopal church rectory is now
half completed and Rev. Zinn will
cease work with tools for a couple of
weeks ,and take a trip to Vah. z.
Seven months ago the excavation
was started for the basement of the
rectory. Gradually Rev. Zinn raised
funds and gradually the rectory took
shape until now it is one of the best
looking residences in Seward, all out
side work being finished and doors and
windows being in. The next step will
be the plumbing, then wiring, lathing
and plastering
ing.
Rev. Zinn, if he keeps up his same
record as^he has on the building so
far, will have the rectory ready for
occupancy by spring.
The building was planned by Rev.
Zinn and the interior arrangements
I are those that, while not elaborate.
I fulfill all requirements for years to
! come. Ruilt-in dressers, sideboards,
etc., clever arrangements of cabinets
of various kinds and the general de
! tails arc the work of a genius. Rev.
Zinn is to be congratulated on his
showing and should naturally feel
pleased with himself at his undertak
ing.
