Show GERMAN SPIES TRY TO DISCREDIT LOYALTY Sergeant "Doc" Wells, Reported Re-ported "Shot," Is Much Alive in San Francisco. Insidious German spy propaganda is endeavoring to make itself felt in western west-ern states by discrediting loyal and enthusiastic en-thusiastic recruiting and fund raising workers such as Sergeant "Doc" F. F. Wells of the first Canadian expeditionary forces who was recently in Salt Lake and who is now arousing keen interest in war work in San Francisco. For several weeks now some one has heard that some one else heard who had it direct from fcansas City, or elsewhere, that "Doc" Wells, who accomplished much good in Salt Lake, had been discovered to be a German spy , and was shot in the Fort Douglas war prison. Extracts from San Francisco papers are equally explicit. The San Francisco Bulletin Bul-letin of January 21, speaking of the United States army base hospital No... 47, now at Camp Fremont and expected soon to go to France, says: The officers, nurses and enlisted men will leave behind them an organization organi-zation of devoted friends, who have pledged themselves to look after the families of the hospital unit, as they would their own. For such is the purpose pur-pose of the association called Auxil- . iarv Base hospital No. 17 (San Francisco), Fran-cisco), that it will be responsible for the two evenings of war talks by the celebrated Sergeant Wells on January 29 and January 30, in Scottish Rite auditorium. Sergeant Wells, who is in this city for the purpose of inspiring patriotism, patriot-ism, will tell of his treatment in the German prison camp, where he feigned insanity and thus was exchanged and returned to England. On account of his wounds he was invalided home to Canada, and he is now lecturing in the service of the government. Sergeant Wells is a former newspaperman newspa-perman and has had some histrionic experience, which he uses with good effect on the lecture platform. The unit for the benefit of which be will lecture is made up of a hundred and fiftv-three men. twenty-five officers and between fifty and sixty nurses. The unit is in command of Colonel Clarence J. Money, United States arniv. The auxiliary was organized by Mrs. William T. Garrett, who is its president. Sergeant Wells's lectures are arranged by tile officers. Sergeant Wells addressed the Northern North-ern California Association of the Preparedness Pre-paredness League of American Dentists Den-tists at the St. Francis hotel. January IX. Other speakers were Dr. John L. Milliwen, chairman of the association, and Dr. Robert Bums. Jr.. secretary. Wells also spoke at the Press club later.
