"America For Americans
EVERY ONE CAN HELP
Virtually the entire force of the fed
era] government's civilian employees,
approximately 500.000 men and wo
men engaged Ui every branch of serv
ice, baa been summoned to aid the bu
reau of investigation and the secret
service In the detection of spies and
the apprehension of persons engaged
In plots. Intrigues or ot!:er activities
agulnst the Interests of the United
States.
In addition, the government has
sought the active co-i.ieiatioa of the
poiiv o and detective forces of every
towu and city of consequence through
out the country. Hundreds of letters
replicating such tv; rrnloii have been
mailed broadcast I\" the department of
Justice, and replies pledging unstinted
aid are coming l-act in great uumbers
by telegraph and mall.
The largest single force the govern
ment has enrolled in its uatlou wide
spy bunt, with :!!_■ possible exception
of the municipal [ >I:ce and detective
forces. Is the ctiv of postmasters, all
of whom have been Instructed to per

Under this bi'ad come letters passing
through the uuils, telegrams and even

Such information will be promptly
forwarded to the proper investigating

Of officials Intrusted with such week.
Investigation is warranted.
Although no rt-[ue»t f r reoperation
has been addressed to the general pub

est confidence co-operation in the part
of all private citizens lookiug to the
prevention of activities harmful to the
national interest A number of private
citizens, impelled by patriotic motives,
already have furnished much valuable
Information of this character. It was
said, and have aided materially in the
work of the two bureaus heretofore en
gaged In enforcing the maintenance of
American neutrality. Officials want to
encourage citizens to communicate
such Information through United
States attorneys or direct to the de
partment of Justice.
In calling upon its civilian employees
to aid in the work of the bureau of in
vestigation the government will rely
chiefly upon the field force of all its
varied activities, men whose daily worlt
bring them in constant touch with the
public. This includes, in addition to
postmasters and letter carriers, the
field forces of the department of the in
terior, the Federal Trade Commission,
the department of agriculture, the In

Princeton, N. J.—Princeton univer
sity will not be behind other American
institutions of learning In furthering
America's defense. Of the many pre
paredness measures proposed here one
of the most Important Is the scientific
aid to be given the national research
council in solving military problems
and devising new engines of war.
President Ilibben has appointed a
committee of twelve members of the
faculty, alumni and trustees to super
vise this work.
The faculty has also adopted resolu

census of present and past Princeton
men to find what each can do for his
country.
The unlyereity has also notified the
war department It stands ready to turn
over Its plant to the government when
ever required.
The resolution to appoint a commit
tee to supervise the research work of
the university professors was made at
the suggestion 0j George E. Hale, chair
man of the national research council
and of the Mount Wilson solar ob
servatory, who wrote to Professor Ed
win 0. Conkiin, explaining what the
world of science expected in event of
war. In his letter he says:
"In the face of war every loyal man
of science would be willing to drop his
present work and devote his time and
attention to researches in military
problems. No one should hesitate be
cause he faces new conditions. His
experience as an investigator in any
field will serve him welL It should
not be forgotten that many of the
greatest discoveries have been made by
men of science who have come with
fresh vision Into a new department,
where freedom from the hampering
effect of habit and tradition has more
than compensated for deficiency In spe
cial experience."

New York.—The old country place of
ex-Representative William W. Cocks at
Westbury, on Long Island, had the ap

the bustle and the hobble.
Over 500 persons crowded the Cocks
home, and a good sum was realized for
the Belgian relief fund, for the benefit
of which the affair was held.
