L008 WINNETKA DACHSHUND SEIZED AS GERMAN SPY John Matz of Winnetka went down to his father's home, at 1312 Ritchie place, Chicago, to spend a few days this week. He was accompanied by his wife and their German dachshund Otto. . d today feels he is still ble of to said Court, Docket Number 259, The second day of the visit Otto an te ay; lgels ee "i e ih! the final hearing thereon will be held disappeared. Matz was perturbed. | 37° ering a muse an defense ol |, 1. 'twenty-third day of April, 'A. He became convinced that Otto had been arrested as a German spy. He advertised for Otto and offered a re- ward. Wednesday an attendant in Lincoln park saw a black dachshund with tan markings lurking around the animal cages. The dog acted suspiciously. The keeper caught and held Otto. Somebody showed him the advertise- ment. So, instead of sending Otto to United States Navy--Hale and Hearty at Age of Sixty-Nine. That the surviving members of the "Legions of '61" are as much imbued with the spirit of patriotism today as they were during the stirring days of the Rebellion was amply demon- strated a few days ago at Little Rock, Arkansas, when J. I. Leigh, a veteran of Lee's Confederate Army and 69 years old, applied for enlist- ment at the United States Navy re- cruiting office in that city. Leigh requested that he be enlisted at once and assigned to service on the largest battleship afloat. He was greatly disappointed when informed by the recruiting officer that he ex- ceeded the required age limit by some forty-odd years. Leigh enlisted in the Confederate Army at the age of thirteen, serving continuously until April, 1865, when General Lee sur- rendered at Appomattox. He took part in many battles and skirmishes, suffered all the privations that were endured by officers and men alike his flag, the Stars and Stripes. It is such indomitable spirit, such expresson of loyalty, that stand out as an example to the young men of the present. The eagerness of Mr. Leigh to rally to the flag that he at one time fought against is being | emulated throughout the length and breadth of the land by hundreds of the "Boys of '61," and the "Boys of 1917," as well.
