What is perhaps the greatest spy hunt the ; government has instituted since the Civil war is on here today. Every secret investigating agency of the government is engaged in fer reting out the men or women who tipped Germany the news that the American destroyer flotilla had left for Europe in time for German sub marines to mine the port of arrival. The flotilla sailed under sealed or ders. One theory is that the port of destination was obtained by Ger man spies in England. The destroyers now aiding in the hunt for German submarines under the direction of Admiral Slmms ar rived at Queenstown on May 16th. No announcement was made of their sail ing and until word came of their reaching their destination only a few people knew that ths government had sent warships to Europe. ment reveals a general lull on eastern front. the GUARD DISMISSED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT (By United Press) Washington, May 26.
