from the New Jersey Courier of 20 Apr 1917: Now that flags are seen flying from every available place it should be remembered that to fly your flag between sunset is considered disrespectful and even more so than not to display it at all. If you have real feeling for your flag, put it under cover at sunset. Last week a party of secret servicemen visited the farm of Moritz Groepler at Beach View to look over the place to verify the report that they had a wireless station and were supplying news to Germans and were working against the U.S. in various ways. They found nothing whatever and were satisfied it was the work of some busy body who wanted to circulate reports for pure malicious purposes. Mr. Groepler has been an American citizen for many years and is as loyal as any of us, as this is his country by choice and we need have no fear of him or his sons as they have always been good citizens in every way. We should be careful about starting rumors in these critical times, as ...[in
