LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEGROES TO TRAIN AT CAMP TAYLOR VOL. XXIV. NEGROES TRA CAMP T Washington, Sept. I4.—Indiana Negroes of the draft army probably will be trained at Louisville for the fighting line in France. The Colored men will not be called out, however with the first contingent, but will go in a body on a later call. Secretary of War Baker has with his own hand written the order which disposes of the controverted question as to how these Negro soldiers shall be trained. This question has been discussed upon one side and down the other at the war department for months. Some officials have taken the position that the Colored soldiers should be received entirely for non-combatant work; that is they should do jobs around camp, dig the sewers and trenches and perform all the menial labor, but should be kept away from the firing line. Some also have taken the position that they should be sent to a training camp by themselves and should not be allowed to go to the camps with the white conscripted soldiers. BAKER'S PLAN. Secretary Baker's solution of the problem, written and promulgated by himself undoubtedly over the opposition of many officers in the war establishment and other advisers, is as follows: "The rule of the regular army in the matter of the training of Colored troops, which is that they are trained in seperate organizations, will be adhered to. The call for Colored men will be postponed until one of the later calls, so that they will be called at a separate time, giving an opportunity to the officers at the camps to assemble the organizations, of which they are a part, substantially all at one time. They will not be the ast called, but they will be called separately. "All Colored men called in a state which has a cantonment in it will be organized and trained there, provision will be made, but it has not yet been made, for the assembling of Colored troops for training from those states which have not cantonments of their own. An opportunity will be given both white and Colored men among the selected forces to volunteer for this military but notcombatant service, but there will be both combatant and non- combatant organizations of Colored men just as their are for white men." One effect of Secretary Baker's decision is to dispose finally of the efforts of Southern members of Congress to prevent the assignment of Colored troops to Southern states which have cantonments will train at those cantonments, but the training of the Colored regimdnts will be conducted separately from that of the white troops. DR. MOTON CONFERS WITH PRES- IDENT WILSON. Dr. Robert Russa Monton, principal of Tuskegee Institute ,conferred with President Wilson a few days ago at the White House upon a number of matters of concern to the Negro people. According to the best advices, Dr. Moton indicated to the chief executive that the Colored people are greatly cast down by the indifference of the government as to the participation of Colored Americans in the war on a basis of equality of opportunity for service. He pointed out that the Negro is a natural patriot, had always been loyal and efficient wherever placed and that today he is faithful to the Stars and Stripes, despite grievances of the most serious character. He is said to have stated that the race has no desire at this time to embarrass the government with questions apart from military activities, believing that in time the problems affecting the internal affairs will come in for due attention. He placed the nation first while the present crisis is on. He urged a generous policy toward the Negro patriot, in the army and navy and in every field in which any other race is engaged, each individual to be given such opportunities as his education, training, experience or other abilities might fit him. The President is said to have expressed a desire that more cordial relations be established between the races. Beyond this the report did not go as to this interview. In a previous conference the President is stated to have assured the delegation of Colored men and women that he abhorred such occurrences as those that had taken place at East St. Louis, Memphis and other points, and table Negro Paper in Colo ADC S THE JOURNAL OF THE W DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTE OUR COUNTRY'S FLAG There is one emblem of great beauty That Americans love the best, It's the symbol of our country— A country it has signally blest. It was Betsy Ross of Philadelphia, Back in Independence time, Who arranged those three bright colors In a unique and beautiful design. And Congress inspired with its beauty, As it waved in the air of heaven, Gave us this emblem by official birth On June 14th, Seventeen seventy-seven. At first it had but thirteen stars, Arranged in a field of blue, And it has continued thirteen stripes, Which are made of the red and white, too. Every star and every stripe In those piping days of yore, Stood for liberty, freedom and right— Our Union—all along Atlantic's shore. Now its blue field is jeweled In stars that number forty-eight, And it is witnessed by the millions— Our countrymen—to Pacific's Golden Gate. It was with Washington at Valley Forge, And at Yorktown with that band Who planted on our eastern shore, Liberty and Freedom for our land. It went with Lincoln to Antietam, Ever was with our boys in blue— Sheridan in the valley of the Shenandoah, And with all the brave and true. It was with Sherman on his march Of ruin and destruction to the sea, And it was with Grant at Appomattox Beneath that old historic apple-tree. nila command, philippos It was with Dewey at Manila And with Schley in his command, That gave Cubans and Filipinos A happy and free land. The English cheer it at Westminster, The French as it waves from Eiffel Tower, And 'twill mellow the hearts of those at Berlin, On its mission of peace in this holy hour. Unfurl its bright folds! This beacon of right! Our heroes defend it with signal delight. Its name is "Old Glory" wherever it waves, A symbol of peace in the hands of the brave. Then rally round these colors, boys, Hoist high this flag—the best, Until peace and human liberty Shall bless Germany and the rest. Then rally round these colors, boys, Hoist high this flag—the best, Until peace and human liberty Shall bless Germany and the rest.

Bell Jr, issued a statement, warning Houston against its contemptible treatment toward Race soldiers. He declared that the city would be to blame if trouble occurred. The conduct of the Eighth Illinois Regiment was highly appraised. "These men have taken deeply to heart the lamentable episode of the night of Aug. 23," he wrote in part, "and are endeavoring by their conduct to make amends for what happened that night. Their colonel, who is a man of high probity, has NO 6 written them repeatedly that, irrespective of how difficult their positions may be and how many slurs may be cast upon them, they are not for one instant to waver from the course of duty which marks an honorable soldier. "The soldiers of the Eighth Infantry have been ordered to remain in their camp until the present hysteria has subsided. If any trouble should arise it will not be caused by these colored troops, but by the reckless spreading of unfounded reports by persons and newspapers in Houston. CHAS, RICHEY'S New York, Sept. 21.—Chas. V.Richey's inventor of the slot piano player (electric) which caused so much concern throughout the country and which is being used by some of the biggest piano manufactures in the states, has perfected another invention, which is for an automobile and which has been approved by the Motor Age, Popular Mechanics magazine and several of the large automobile manufacturing concerns. This invention is a simple and practical construction whereby it is unnecessary for the chauffeurs or other persons operating cars to change speeds by shifting the gear, thereby eliminating the wear and tear on the mechanism. Also the commonly used clutch in Mr. Richey's device is used only for reversing or first speed forward, and becomes unnecessary to be used in changing to other speeds. By using this invention the consumer saves at least 25 per cent not only on the wear and tear on the machinery but on tires, oils and fuels as well. Mr. Richey has invented a means which will effectively prevent the destruction of ships attacked by submarines or other vessels, and he is now preparing to turn the same over to the United States government, namely, the navy department, which will be done this week. He has had several interviews with the navy consulting board (of which Thos. A. Edison is president) in regard to this new device. A corporation is being organized to exploit the manufacture and sale of automobile equipment with gear shiftless automobile transmission. Also the application for patent has been long and securely filed and now awaits issue of patent. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

CLEAR WAY FOR PEACE GERMANY AND AUSTRIA READY FOR SETTLEMENT OF WAR. Replies to Vatican Express Hope That All Belligerents Will Come to View Pontiff's Proposal as Basis for Negotiations. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Amsterdam.—The German government, in its reply to the peace note of Pope Benedict, a copy of which has been received here, "cherishes a lively desire" that the appeal may meet with success. Emperor William, the German note says, has been following the efforts of the pope toward peace for a considerable time with high respect. The reply adds that the effort of the pope to pave the way to an understanding might most surely be reckoned to have a sympathetic reception from the whole-hearted support of the German Emperor, since he has regarded it as his principal and most sacred task to preserve the blessings of peace for the German people and the world. The text of the reply reads: "Herr Cardinal: Your eminence has been good enough, together with your letter of Aug. 2, to transmit to the Kaiser and King, my most gracious master, the note of his holiness, the pope, in which his holiness, filled with grief at the devastations of the world war, makes an emphatic peace appeal to the heads of the belligerent peoples. The Kaiser-King has designed to acquaint me with your eminence's letter and to intrust the reply to me. "His majesty has been following for a considerable time with high respect and sincere gratitude his holiness' efforts in a spirit of true impartiality to alleviate as far as possible the sufferings of the war and to hasten the end of hostilities. "The Kaiser sees in the latest step of his holiness fresh proof of his noble and humane feelings and cherishes a lively desire that for the benefit of the entire world the papal appeal may meet with success. "The effort of Pope Benedict is to pave the way to an understanding amongst all peoples and might more surely reckon on a sympathetic reception and the whole-hearted support from his majesty, seeing that the Kaiser, since taking over the government, has regarded it as his principal and most sacred task to preserve the blessings of peace for the German people and the world. "In his first speech from the throne at the opening of the German Reichstag on June 25, 1888, the Kaiser promised that his love of the German army and his position toward it should never lead him into temptation to cut short the benefits of peace unless war were a necessity, forced on us by an attack on the empire or its allies. "The German army should safeguard peace for us and should peace, nevertheless, be broken, it would be in a position to win it with honor. The Kaiser has, by his acts, fulfilled the promise he then made in twenty-six years of happy life, despite provocations and temptations. "In the crisis, which led to the present world conflagration, his majesty's efforts were up to the last moment directed towards settling the conflict by peaceful means. After the war had broken out, against his wish and desire, the Kaiser, in conjunction with his high allies, was the first solemnly to declare his readiness to enter into peace negotiations. The German people supported his majesty in his keen desire for peace. "Germany sought within her national frontier the free development of her spiritual and material possessions, and outside the imperial territory unhindered competition, with nations enjoying equal rights and equal esteem. "The free play of forces in the world in peaceable wrestling with one another would lead to the highest perfecting of the noble human possessions. Disastrous concatenations of events in the year 1914 absolutely broke off all hopeful course of development and transformed Europe into a bloody battle arena." Amsterdam. — Peace would come from the recent proposals of Pope Benedict if the belligerent nations would enter into negotiations in the sense of the pontiff's suggestions, Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary says in his reply to the Vatican note. The Emperor sees in the pope's peace plan a suitable basis for starting negotiations toward a just and lasting peace, and expresses the hope that the nations opposing his own may be animated by the same idea. The Austrian emperor admits that the future arrangement of the world must be based on the elimination of armed force and on the rule of international justice and legality. Austria-Hungary's ruler received the pontiff's note with a thankful heart and with an expression of hope that the pontiff's efforts may lead to the realization of the emperor's desire for a lasting and honorable peace for all parties. Freedom of the seas is one of the peace hopes of Emperor Charles in order that heavy material burdens could be taken from the nations of the earth and new sources of prosperity opened to them.

BERNSTORFF WAS PAYMASTER Ambassador's Request for $50,000 Re- garded as Indicating That Money Had Been Used Before for Same Purpose. the diplomatic corps have not yet re- covered from their amazement at the astounding revelations made by Sec- retary of State Lansing of the plans of Count von Bernstorf, former Ger- man ambassador to the United States, , to expend $50,000 in an effort to influ- ence congress and prevent this coun- try from going to war with Germany. ‘The revelation of this plot, follow- Ing the disclosures of other cases of German duplicity in its diplomatic re- lations with the United States and other countries, had the effect of sweeping away such antiwar propa- ganda as may still have been alive in the national capital and giving more convincing evidence of the hostile acts which forced the United States into the war. How Plot Was Revealed. Here is the statement of Secretary Lansing: “The secretary of state issues the following statement from Ambassador Bernstorff to the Berlin foreign office, dated January 22, 1917: “‘T request authority to pay out up to $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars), in order, as on former occasions, to influ- ence congress through the organiza- tion you know of which can perhaps prevent war. “I am beginning in the meantime to act accordingly. “‘Tn the above circumstances, a pub- le official German declaration In fa- vor of Ireland is highly desirable in order to gain the support of Irish in- fluence here.’" Capital Stunned by Revelations. ‘The publication of this letter ap- parentiy revealing the fact that Bern- storft had previously “influenced congress through the organization you know of,” actually stunned the eap- itol. On the floor of the house, congress: amen were denounced as “suspicious.” It was openly stated by some that they believed their collea;ues had received Serman money. According to Representative Tom Heflin, Alabama, he believes he could name 13 or 14 men in the two houses of congress who have acted suspl- clously. Fess of Ohio and Howard of Geor- gia both declared the German propa- ganda worked directly, with money changing hands and reaching govern- ment officials, Additional startling revelations. of the free use of money by the Ger- man government to sustain the Ger- man propaganda in the United States will follow Lansing’s expose. ‘These revelations, it was indicated, will corroborate the indictment of the German embassy as the disburs- ing bureau for propaganda. Certain Irish-American agitators in the coun- stry who have allied themselves with hostile German-Americans may expect to be the. next objects of the govern- ment’s attack. Convicts Count Bernstorff. ‘The shower of indictments of Ger- man clandestine pre-war activities in this country is relied upon by the state department to set at rest all doubt remaining in any quarters that the German government officially through Count von Bernstorft con- spired flagrantly, as asserted in Presi- dent Wilson’s war proclamation, to di- vide the American people on the ts- sues of the war. It {s believed by the state departinent that public opinion, after digesting the contents of the series of exposes, may be depended upon to deal effectively with those who became the catspaws of the Ger- man embassy. ‘The message was decoded by Scot- land Yards experts after vain at- tempts by Americans. Expulsion wrght have been Von Bernstorff’s fa’ / as remotely as 1915 If the state department had then known fs much about the secrets of the Ger- man code as it knows today. Other Shots to Follow. One by one the exhibits In the evt- dence in the case, it was said at the state department, will be given to the public. ‘Phat Americans in high public post- tions lent themselves to the German embassy's plan to split congress on the question of war, further decoded messages in the possession of the gov- ernment are expected to demonstrate conclusively. ‘More than one of these well-known persons has been under public sus- ‘pleion, but proof of thelr complicity with the German government has not come forth, It is known that evi- dence of the most damaging and con- vineing character has finally been obtained by the agents of the govern- ment, © Vice President Marshall made a clear-cut statement of his views to- ward German propaganda, following tice of and necessity for this war. It proves that the German government was seeking all along to split us into factions, by corrupt means of neces: sary, possibly hoping in time to win the war in Europe and then humiliate and subjugate us. He who Is not whole-heartedly for the war runs a grave risk of being suspected of get- ting a part of the fifty thousand dol- lars, This is an honest congress, and all its members will resent this insult to Its Intelligence and honor.” Whether the state department {s In possession of other evidence indicating the ambassador's activities has not been revealed, but the extraordinary disclosures’ already made have fixed the bellef that agents of the United States government have collected and compiled the entire story of German duplicity and intrigue and that addl- tlonal chapters will be added. Knew Plan of “Ruthlessness.” ‘The reference to averting war is tak- en as an indication that Ambassador Bernstorff had prior knowledge of his government's Intention to proclaim. a merelless widespread submarine war- fare and that he was equally confident that the United States government could not be easily placated by mere promises. The German announcement of its intention to expand {ts subma- rine activities was not made public un- til January 31, when the world was startled not only by the determination to remove all restrictions, but by the statement that It would become effec- tive on the following day. Three days later the United States government had expressed its disapproval by sever- Ing relations with Germany. That the German ambassador knew of his government's intention was as- sumed by some officials, although at the same time he denied prior knowl- edge and those in close touch with the embassy were given to understand that he did not approve the course and worked to obtain modification. ‘Small Amount for Bribe. It has not been assumed that the am- bassador actually attempted to bribe or personally influence any member of congress, and doubt that such was his purpose is supported to some extent by the comparatively small ariount of money he asked, Fifty thousand dol- lars, it was pointed out, would go but a short way toward buying the influence of any congressman. Judiciously ex- pended, however, it might do much in compensating paid agents, such as are now known to have belonged to the elaborate machine Bernstorft had so carefully built up for the production of propaganda and for purposes of espionage. Search Anti-War List. : As soon as news of the Bernstorft message reached the capitol members began a hasty search of the files to find the names of the men who voted against war. While there was no as- sertion from anyone that anyone of these members was influenced by Ger- man propaganda or money, yet It was pointed out that if such influence was exerted, and if it had any effect, the names of those affected would be shown in the lists of those who op- posed the war resolution. “] was forced to the concluston some time ago,” Representative Heflin said, in discussing the revelations, “that Ger- many thought we were a cowardly peo- ple and afraid to fight, but I did not know that we were a corrupt people and would betray our country for Ger- man gold. “The telegram sent by Count von Bernstorff is an admission of the fact that Germany had a corruption fund in the United States for the purpose of carrying on German propaganda. “If members have acted in suspl- cious fushion by the introduction of res- olutions or bills or by speeches in con- gress or out of congress, that leads to the conviction that they are not loyal to this government at this time, they ought to be investigated, and, if found guilty, they ought to be expelled from the floor of this house and from the floor of the senate of the United States.” Propaganda Still Lives. Senator Husting was one of the first to make a declaration after the state department had made Its spectacular disclosure. “although Bernstorff 1s gone,” he said, “the spirit of Bernstorft still lives, and I trust the department of justice and the secret service will go to the bottom of this thing and that the organization which has been built up in this country through the éfforts of the German government will be rooted out and utterly eliminated. “Phis is highly interesting informa- tion, but Iam not surprised.

Washington, Sept, 28.—Secretary McAdoo announced the details of the second Liberty loan which will be of- fered to the public Oct. 1. The chief features are: Amount—$3,000,000,000 or more, the excess not to exceed one-half of the amount of oversubscription. ‘Terms of Bonds—Maturity, 25 years; redeemable at the option of the sec- retary of the treasury in 10 years.

In this manner the issue of interim certifi cates will be avoided. INQUIRE INTO $50,000 FUND. Five “Named” by Heflin for Probe of Bernstorff’s Plet to Influence U. 8. Congress. Washington, Sept. 28.—A compre- hensive investigation of all ramifica- tions of the Bernstorff plot to influ- ence Congress against deglaring war on Germany is not a certainty, as the result of the session of the rules com- mittee, at which Representative Hef- lin of Alabama named five members of the national legislature whose attitude toward the American cause he ques- tioned. To finance the campaign to influ- ence members against war, Von Berns- torff asked authority of his govern- ment to expend $50,000 and notified Berlin that he was proceeding with the scheme, Heflin did not accuse any officials of receiving German money, but insist- e4 upon an investigation of the activi- ties of the men he named. ‘The officials he mentioned are Rob- ert M. La Follette, senator from Wis- consin; Patrick D. Norton, representa- tive from North Dakota; John M. Baer, representative from North Dakota; William E. Mason, representative at large from Illinois; Fred A. Britten, representative from the Ninth Illinois district. La Follette, Mason and Britten vot- ed against and Norton for the declara- tion of war on Germany. Baer was not a member of the House when war was declared. Governors Approve Service Plan.

Boulder, Colo., Sept. 26.—Tony Gentile, a worker on a threshing gang, died at the hospital here this afternoon from a gunshot wound inflicted by a Negro guard last evening at the Western Light and Power company's reservoir near Louisville. Gentile, who was an Italian with an imperfect understanding of English, was walking thru the fields as a short cut to town. Cliff Alsop and Henry Tabbs, Negro guards, were on duty at the reservoir. When they saw Gentile approaching they hailed him. But he kept on, and after the third hail one of the guards fired. Gentile was shot through the abdomen, the bullet making a deep gash. The coroner here has decided upon holding an inquest. The shot, it is stated, was fired by Alsop. Negro home guards were placed at the reservoir Monday, when company C of Boulder was withdrawn. There has been some feeling at Louisville over the placing of Negroes at the reservoir, and it has grown in intensity since the shooting. Neither of the Negro guards has been arrested. Mme. Davis as elocutionist and pianiste, People's Presbyterian, Oct. 9. Admission, 25 cents. TAYLOR-BELL WEDDING. Clarence C. Taylor, formerly of Leavenworth, Kan., and now of Hugo, Colo., and Miss Edna Pauline Bell, a Denverite, and one of our charming society buds, marked the climax of a pretty romance when they were made man and wife at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John I. Butler, 2445 Glenarm place, last Wednesday evening in the presence of a large number of friends and well-wishers. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. A. Williams of Shorter church, beginning at 8:15 p. m. Miss Mabel Cole, a singer of unusual ability, sang "O Promise Me," when immediately following, the bride on the arm of her father, descended the stairway preceded by little Miss Geraldine Sparaldo carrying a basket of flowers and who filled the position of flower girl with every satisfaction. The strains of Mendelsohn's "Wedding March," played by Miss Mabel Buford, announced the approach of the lady who had lost all charms for the single life. Then followed Miss Dlette Williams, the bridesmaid, whose charming appearance came in for attraction and whose support to the bride was all that could be desired. The bridegroom, escorted by Neal Elliston, his best man, took up his position under a large bell of white floral design, and there by the side of his intended better half, responded very audibly to the sentences as they were read by the minister in an impressive manner. The ceremony, witnessed by old friends of the bride's family and the youthful society associates of the bride, was very touching, as the solemnity of matrimony was given due weight, and with the usual emphasis of the Rev. Williams, a striking reminder seemed to lay hold on the witnesses of the event. The bride carried a large bouquet of baby white roses and was dressed in white net- ting over white silk, waist encircled by broad pink silk sash, with cream-colored veil falling in a long train. Her slippers were of white satin. The bridesmaid was beautifully attired in white netting over white charmeuse set off by silver beading with dainty slippers. After the ceremony a reception was held and a musical program, to which Prof. George Morrison and Master Atwell Rose contributed with violin solos; Mrs. Pearl Rose a vocal solo, and Miss Cleo Hobson at the plano gave a delightful entertainment to the guests. The decorations of pink and white roses in festoons were numerous and artistic, reflecting much credit on the decorator, Mrs. Americus Hughes. Dainty refreshments in the color of the decorations were served, and amidst the congratulations of those present a happy event in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Taylor has begun which is attended with every happiness. The happy couple will spend the honeymoon in Hugo, Colo., where Mr. Taylor is employed by the Union Pacific Railway Company, and will be at home to their friends at a date to be announced. The Colorado Statesman wishes them a peaceful sailing on the matrimonial sea of life and a perpetuity of conjugal bliss in their experience of the two-fold life. Successful Session Of Colorado Annual Conference At Boulder, Colo. Successful Session Of Colorado Annual Conference At Boulder, Colo. The closing of the thirty-first session of the Colorado annual conference at Boulder last Sunday afternoon marked an important event in the history of African Methodism in the middle west. The attendance was full throughout the sessions, the reports showed marked progress, both material and spiritual, and the entertainment was all that could have been expected in a city whose colored population was many times greater than that of Boulder. Rev. A. Wayman Ward and his congregation proved themselves royal hosts, for aside from the usual courtesies shown on such occasions, the Commercial club of Boulder was induced to give the conference an auto sight-seeing trip including all the points of interest in the city. Bishop H. B. Parks was in the finest spirit and he presided over the deliberations in such an impartial and fatherly manner as to ingratiate himself more deeply in the hearts of his brethren. The dollar report from the conference showed an increase of $159.50 of which the Rocky Mountain district under the leadership of Rev. R. L. Pope, came in for $118.50. Despite the fact that Rev. J. P. Howard of the Albuquerque district had been confined to his bed for three months, the reports from this division were above the average. The Woman's Mite Missionary Society reported $616.50 and a drive was begun to report $1000.00 at the next session of the conference, at Campbell Chapel, Denver.

EX-GERMAN AMBASSADOR IS DEEPLY INVOLVED IN PLOT Washington.—Just how Germany smaefully abused and exploited" the protection of the United States by secreting in the German legation at Bucharest, after the American government had taken charge of Germany's affairs at the Roumanian capital, quantities of powerful explosives for bomb plots and deadly microbes, with instructions for their use in destroying horses and cattle, was revealed on Sunday by Secretary Lansing. It was another of the series of Mr. Lansing's disclosures of German intrigue, made public without comment in the same manner as the Von Luxburg telegrams, which brought Argentina to the verge of war with Germany, the Von Eckhardt letter from Mexico City and the Von Bernstorff telegram asking the German foreign office for authorization to spend $50,000 to influence congress. Bomb Story From Legation The latest story is told in a report to the state department from William Whiting Andrews, secretary of the legation at Bucharest, and a letter from Foreign Minister Porombaru of Roumania. Parcels and boxes taken into the German consulate at Bucharest with display of great precaution aroused the suspicions of the Roumanian government. On August 27, 1916, the evening prior to the date of Roumania's declaration of war, some of these cases were taken to the German legation, located in a different building from the consulate. Convinced that the boxes were not taken away from the legation by the German diplomatic mission on its departure from Bucharest, the Roumanian authorities later ordered the police to find and examine their contents. The police communicated with American Minister Vopiclea, then in charge of German interests, who reluctantly assigned Secretary Andrews to observe the search. The boxes were found buried in the garden of the German legation. PROVES GERMAN INTRIGUES. An amazing report of German intrigue and propaganda against the interests of the United States is presented herewith. These disclosures are made by the committee of public information, an official bureau of the government. Some of these cases have been made public before. The indictment drawn up by the Washington authorities sets them forth in glaring_sequence. They began in the autumn of 1914. The report by the committee of public information is given herewith. Washington.—Within a few days a German newspaper published in this country employed as the headline to an article denling with a rumor of German-American disaffection in this country the derisive legend, "Lieb" Washington, magst rubig sein." This is, of course, a parody on the refrain of "Die Wacht am Rhein," the German national hymns: "Lieb Vaterland, magst ruhig seln." "Lover fatherland, be restful (or undisturbed)." In the parody it carries a sneer comhensible only to one who understands the German mode of speech and thought. Typifies Propaganda. Of itself the instance is slight. But it typifies a certain important phase of the German propaganda which subtly but persistently seeks to present Germany's course in America in the most favorable light, even to the extent of defending the improper activities of the Teutonic diplomatic representatives before their passports were given them. Because of this continuing propaganda certain documents in the possession of the department of justice now assumes peculiar importance, in that they prove undeniably the intimate relations between the accredited representatives of the kaiser in the United States and plotters against the laws and the security of this country, whose enterprise did not fall short of projected wholesale destruction of life and property. Such of these documents as were essential to legal proceedings brought against the Germans have been published. Others are here made public for the first time. They form a curious if disjointed, chapter in the diplomatic history of the war. In the fall of 1914, when the German plots against Canada were fomenting in this country, there was established. The Germans, in the face presided ever by a big, suave man of Teutonic Aspect named Wolf von Igel. There were two peculiar features about this office. One was that it was WORK OF GERMAN PLOTTERS In the fall of 1914, shortly after the outbreak of the war, the German embassy established a publicity department at 60 Wall street, under the direction of Wolf von Igel. About two years later this office was raided and documentary proof obtained that Von Igel was the chief spy and plotter of a vast system maintained in the United States under Ambassador von Bernstorff's general direction. Paul Koenig, pretending to conduct frequented during two years of singularly quiet and unbusinesslike existence chiefly by Germans who had nothing whatsoever to do with advertising, in other was a large safe, bearing the insignia of the German imperial government. One morning in April, 1916, government secret service men visited this same Wall street office while Von Igei was preparing a mass of papers which he had taken from the safe for traumas in the German embassy in Washington. Find Lists of Spies. When the papers were examined by the department of justice the reason for Von Igel's determined fight became apparent. Here, in the form of letters, telegrams, notations, checks, receipts, ledgers, cashbooks, cipher codes, lists of names, imprints and handwritten words were found indications—in some instances of the vague nature, in others of the most damning conclusiveness—that the German imperial government, through its representatives in a then friendly nation, was concerned with it. Violation of the laws of the United States. Destruction of lives and property in merchant vessels on the high seas. Irish revolutionary plots against Great Britain. Fomenting ill feeling against the United States in Mexico. Subformation of American writers and lecturers. Financing of propaganda. Maintenance of a spy system under the guise of a commercial investigation bureau. Subsidizing of a bureau for the purpose of stirring up labor troubles in munition plants. The bomb industry and other related activities. Koenig-Von Papen Commerce Bureau. Perhaps the most illuminating single document in the collection is a letter of July 1915, reproduced as it appeared upon the stationery of the "Bureau of Investigation." This innocent, pretending agency was at the outset the secret service of the Hamburg-American Steamship company. Under Paul Koenig, its manager, it became an adjunct to the German diplomatic secret service. "XXX" is the secret designation of Koenig, who is now under investigation in connection with this "diplomatic" work, and is interned at Oaklethorne. The person represented by the figure "7.000" is Captain von Papen, former military attache of the German embassy and the practical executive of its underground system. The document describes the subterfuges of "XXX" (Koenig) so that he might not be identified by the mysterious — when they met. "XXX" states that money was to be drawn for the payment of $150 to the unnamed person, under peculiar precautions, through "Check No. 146 on the Riggs National bank." Washington, July 16, p. yank to sigged — amount $150. No reason was given as to why the payment was made "says the report. Bombs in Coal Several days after the payment, the recipient called at the "passenger office of the — line" and made a statement which is thus embodied in the XXX report. My name is —— I have an office at the —— building, but I do not care to state my local address. I intend to cause serious damage to vessels of the allies leaving ports of the United States by placing bombs, which I am making myself, on board. These bombs resemble ordinary lumps of coal, and I am planning to have them concealed in the tank to be laden on steamers of the allies. Finally XXX states that "the caller" brought with him a sample bomb, "such as has been described to you by the subscriber," and asks for the instructions. The document is lettered at the foot, "O. R. to 7000" indicating that the secret agent known as "O. R." had transmitted it to Von Papen. Check Is Traced. Now for the proof, direct and unescapable. Check 146 on the Riggs National bank has been traced and added to the secret service collection. It is payable to Koenig and signed by Von Papen. Therefore Von Papen stands convicted, on the evidence of a report claimed as an official document by the Germans, of paying money to a plotter designate to blow up merchant ships sailing from a report of New York. The person who made this report be known to department of justice officials. Compare these documents with the following authorized statement from Berlin, transmitted by wireless for publication in the New York Times in December, 1915: "The German government has, naturally, never knowingly accepted the support of any person, group of persons, society or organization seeking to promote the cause of Germany in the United States by illegal acts, by counsel or vengeance by intravention of law or by any means whatever that could offend the American people in the pride of their own authority." Destruction was not by any means the sole interest of Koenig's energetic bureau. It concerned itself also with spy enterprises. To Koenig wrote Otto West in Warrior of the Hour Glass, at 303 or 303) Fifth avenue, recommending a relative of his who, according to his description, must be an interesting and somewhat formidable figure. Mr. West's description, somewhat curtailed, follows: He is a grandson of the late Oberhorn von Schleitz of Berlin by the present Militar Oberpfarer Strauss of Potsdam, nephew of the late Admiral von Schleitz, the late General von Mantey, etc. This gentleman changed his name some twenty odd years ago to an American name, and none of his associates suspects his German birth or antecedents. the secret service of the Hamburg-American Steamship company from a New York office, was discovered to be in reality one of the directors of the German spy system in the United States. He is now interned at Fort Oglethorpe. In Von Bernstorff's code he was known as "XXX." In a report by Koenig to his boss, Captain von Papen of the German embassy, Koenig describes an agent who has made bombs to resemble lumps of coal to be placed on board merchantmen sailing from New York, He is an international journalist of great repute, for years at the head of a newspaper organization in England. "He has a personal reason to be very bitter against England, because two years ago he was appointed to be written about June 1, 1915, which would make the date referred to the early summer of 1913) a certain attack was made against him over commercial matters in Great Britain, and it was only by appeal to the United States that he was corrupted of his corpus before the lord chief justice of England that he escaped successfully. . . . He was in England and France at the outbreak of the war; he has access to the great sources of British and French official information. He wants to work in Europe and serve secretly for Germany." Here's a Pseudo Labor Agency. Here is a Pseudo Labor Agency. Closely related to and to some extent under the German and Austro-Hungarian labor information and relief bureau, with central headquarters at 136 Liberty street, New York city, and branches in Cleveland, Detroit, Bridgeport, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Chicago. The head of this enterprise was Hans Lieber, who it took its familiarly accepted name of the "Liebau Employment agency." That the Austro-Hungarian embassy had taken official cognizance of the bureau is disclosed in the letter written by the ambassador to the Austro-Hungarian minister for foreign affairs which was appointed by the James F. J. Archibald by the British authorities August 30, 1915. After Ammunition Plants. In this letter the ambassador stated: "It is my impression that we can disorganize and hold up for months, if not entirely prevent, the manufacture of weapons in West, which, in the opinion of the German military attache, is of importance and amply outweighs the comparatively small expenditure of money involved; but even if the strikes do not come off it is probable that we should extort, by force, favorable conditions of honour for our poor, downbroken fellow countrymen. "So far as German workmen are found in the skilled hands, means of leaving will be provided immediately for them. Besides this, a private German employment office has been established which provides employment for persons who have voluntarily given up work and are already working well. We shall also join in, and the widest support is assured us." The following representations on behalf of the bureau's efficiency were made, under date of March 24, 1916, in a letter to the German ambassador, Von Bernstorff. Engineers and persons in the better class of positions, and who had means of their own, were persuaded by the propaganda of the bureau to leave war material factories." Cause of Strikes The report comments with unconcealed amusement upon the fact that munitions concerns innocently wrote the bureau for workmen (which, of course, were not furnished) and continues in reviewing later conditions in the munitions industry. "The commercial employment bureaus of the country have no supply of unemployment materials, turburbances and suspensions which are material factories have had to suffer and which it was not always possible to remove quickly, but which, on the contrary, often led to long strikes, may be attributed to the energetic propaganda of the employment bureau." Von Igel's close connection with the enterprise is indicated by a number of other facts. He was appointed in connection to the effect that H. Sanson had established a Liebau branch office in Detroit, an entry of $60 paid to Dr. Max Niven of Chicago in February, 1913, for the baby fund and an inquiry addressed by a researcher at Yale University asking whether the Bosch magneto works manufactured fuses for shells, the bureau having evidently been applied to for workmen for the Bosch plant. The reply, in the negative, that the company was "neverally known for its friendly attitude for the Germans." John Devoy and "Irish Revolution." Several lines of communication between the German diplomatic service which had involved the capture are indicated in the captured documents. John Devoy of New York city, now editor of the Gaelic American, a violent anti-British paper, was one of the active agents of this connection. Significant entries appear here and German embassy to munitions in German embassy at Washington and the German consulate at New York; mention of a secret code to be employed in communicating with him and of a "cipher Devoy"; also a notation, the details of which remain undiscovered, concerning the motion to re manufacture hand grenades." Devoy it was who acted, for a time at least, as go-between for the German secret service dealings with Sir Roger Casement, executed by the British for treason. There are several references to money and messages for Sir Roger Casement, more than R.C.C. and one record of a check for $1,000 for Casement evidently handled by Devoy. Letters to Bernstorff. Devoy's intimate connection with the German cause is disclosed in two letters to Ambassador von Bernstorff, the texts of which follow: New York, April 8, 1916. The following communication from confidential man John Devoy was duly transmitted: "Letter dated March 22, delayed by censor, seems conclusive that first messenger arrived safe with proposal to send supplies and that cable was suppressed. Second and that safe. Third, with change of plans, due about April 15." John Devoy further requests that the following telegram be dispatched to Sir Roger Casement: "No letter now possible. All funds sent home. Sister and M.'s family well." Should Sir Roger be absent or ill, then J. D. requests that the telegram be delivered to John Monteth. K. N. St. To His Excellency, the Imperial Ambassador, Count von Bernstorff, Washington, D. C. "New York, April 15, 1916. "Herewith inclosed a — report received by us today from John Devoy. Kindly order further steps to be taken. The important parts of the report were there today per telegram. (S. copy) To the Imperial Ambassador, Count Von Bernstorff, Washington, D. C." As to *arrest of Roger Casement*. In view of the involvement of these prominent Irish-American leaders in the Casement plot and its German ramifications, it is little to be wondered at that for the purpose of blowing them up while at sea. Dr. Max Niven of Chicago is shown as receiving $60 for the labor fund in connection with establishing a branch of German and Austro-Hungarian labor information and relief bureau in Detroit. The German embassy maintained confidential relations with the Irish revolutionary movement, through John Devoy of New York (formerly of Chicago), editor of the Gaelic American. Through Devoy at least one check for they should have endeavored to shoulder upon the American government the responsibility for the arrest of Casement. The Gaelle-American, Devoy's paper, and the sympathetic German-American press charged this government with having, on the strength of information obtained from the seized Von Igel papers, advised the British government of the revolutionary plot and Casement's part therein. The department of state and the department of justice promptly refuted the charges. When the Von Igel papers were seized in New York the district attorney and his assistants busied themselves in a central Government investigation of the incidents which they had obtained against Von Igel, and overlooked for the time being the great mass of other evidence which pointed incriminatingly to others. Want Cobalan Senator. Department of justice officials admit that the papers relating to Casement were sent to Washington the night before Casement's arrest was reported, but they were not received by the attorney general until the afternoon of the day upon which the British authorities picked up the Irish leader, and were not until seven o'clock that evening. Meanwhile, Casement had spent several hours in an Irish prison. It is not improbable that the signature at the bottom of the extraordinary message which follows is in the "cipher Devoy" referred to in the Von Igel papers. New York governor Andrew Daniel F. Cohalan has long been prominent in Irish-American circles, though he has never been directly identified with violent action. That Judge Cohalan, however, is held in high favor by the pro-German element of this country is evidenced by the fact that Vlereck's Weekly, in making selections recently for the most important offices in this country, puts him forth for the position of United States senator from New York. "Help Is Necessary." The communication as translated into Von Igel's record is typewritten, line for line, below a cipher, except for the signature, which remains untranslated from the original cipher figures. It is dated New York, April 17, 1916, numbered 335-16, and inscribed at the top "Very Secret." New York, April 17, 1916. "Journe Cohorte reviens à la transmission of the following remarks: "The revolution in Ireland can only be successful if supported from Germany, otherwise England will be able to suppress it, even though it be only after hard struggles. Therefore help is necessary. This should consist primarily of aerial attacks in England and with Irish revolution. Then if possible, a landing of troops, arms, and ammunition in Ireland and possibly some officers from Zeppelins. This would enable the Irish ports to be closed against England and the establishment of stations for submarines on the Irish coast and the cutting off of the supply of food for England. The services of revolution may therefore decide the war. "He asks that a telegram to this effect be sent to Berlin." "To His Excellency Code Message to Moebius. Along this same line is a code message by wireless to Banker Moe Miobius, Oberwalstrasse, Berlin, which is interesting chiefly as showing the code method of important communications required by the international institutions in this country. The code translation was found with the copy of the message among Von Igel's papers. The original is a German dispatch which, being translated into English, sounds like an innocent business transaction-viz. "National Germania Insurance contract certainly promised. Executor is evidently satisfied with proposition. Necessary steps have been taken." "HENRY NEUMAN." Not so innocent and harmless as it looks, for what the message really meant. "Irish agree to proposition. The necessary steps have been taken." Plots Involve Trouble in Canada. Canada was also the object of solitious interest on the part of Germany's representatives in America, as was startlingly proven in the plot to blow up the Welland canal. Another lesser but not unpromising enterprise against Canada was foregone by Von Igel because the volunteer plotter was too old, "though he has the best of good will" because of the known connection with the Gaelic-American and the Indian revolutionists. Information carefully and extensively set forth in the secret documents of the German officialdom was sometimes wide of the facts. For example, a lengthy memorandum of March 1, 1916, transmitted by the secret agent, Captain Boehm, dealing with the Mexican crisis, appears to have been largely the work of some fervid and projective imagination. The memorandum purports to outline President Wilson's expected message to congress. It predicts that the president will attribute Mexico's anti-American activities direct to German money and incitement; that he will call upon congress (the prophet even attempts to paraphrase the language to be employed in the message); that congress will indorse the president's stand, following which upward of 150 German spies and agents provocateurs were to be arrested and the ambassadors of the central powers to receive their passports. Captain Boehm Leaves. For all this, Captain Boehm's authority is thus indicated over his own signature. "The following memorandum was just given to me by an acquaintance returning from Washington. The 'acquaintance' is a skillful journalist who has good connections. I cannot vouch for his reliability, but I know that he hates the present administration and fights it. His informant is a former secretary of the embassy at Rome now in Washington." Captain Boehm himself was too loose of tongue for the good of his service. it would appear from a report of the German military information bureau dated March 21, 1916. Captain Boehm decided to leave after reports received here were submitted to him to the effect that members of the press were informed as to his personality and the purpose of his being here. Too great confidence in the members of the American Truth society . . . was probably the cause of his becoming quickly known here." So the notorious American Truth society, which so strenuously denied its pro-German associations, figures as indirectly linked up with Germany's secret $1,000 was sent to Sir Roger Casement. Daniel F. Cohalan, supreme court justice of New York, is shown in a Von Igel cipher message as urging German support for the Irish revolution. George Sylvester Viereck, editor of The Fatherland, a rabid pro-German weekly published in New York city, is noted in the German records as sending inquiries as to bombs and picnic acid. Viereck is still conducting his paper, having changed its name to Viereck's Weekly since the United States entered the war. representatives. This society is still extant, and Jeremiah A. O'Leary, its moving spirit, is now the editor of Bull, recently shut out of the mails for publishing seditious matter. Enter Viereck: George Sylvester. Many inventors, some of them obviously cranks, are represented either by correspondence or notation as having plans involving the use of sundry devices of destruction. One entry of the sort merits special attention because of the notoriety of the individual involved. Here it is, translated from the German record of correspondence: "In 15.1915. Sender, G. S. Viereck, Contents, inquiry as to bombs;2 supply offer. Told to send further details." Possibly the further details are indicated in another entry of four months later. "Sender. Viereck. Contents, offer of picric acid." Picric acid is a constituent of many high explosives. Mr. Viereck is something of a high explosive himself, having been editor of the virulently pro-German week's Weekly, of New York, now changed in title (but not in purpose) to Viereck's Weekly. Just what interest Dr. L. A. Dessar of 25 Broad street, New York city, had in German aerial warfare is a matter for speculation. In the Von Igel archives appears a letter from R. L. Scoville of Sewickley, Pa., and the Seminole congregation Doctor Dessar, evidently forwarded the letter where he thought it would do the most good, viz., to Von Igel. The following curious entry appears in Von Igel's records: Journalists, lecturers, and publishers were liberally employed by Von Igel and his associates for the purposes of German propaganda. Among those thus painted with the stigma of dishonorable professions and are two magazine editors and war correspondents, James F. J. Archibald, now in Washington, and Edwin Emerson, said to be in Africa. "Pure War Expenses." Edward Emerson $1,000 Fair Play (Mr. Braun) 2,000 Fair Play (Mr. Braun) 1,000 Marcus Braun 1,000 J. Archibald 5,000 Concerning the identity of the last entry there might be room for doubt but for a signed receipt from J. F. J. Archibald acknowledging the sum of $5,000 from the German embassy for propaganda work. What return Archibald ever made in service is not clear, except that he must correspondence which he contracted with New York newspapers was so obviously prejudiced on the side of the central powers that they declined to accept it. That Emerson also overdid the cause to which he sold his pen and his professional honor (the record indicates that he was paid $1,000 for "traveling expenses") is suggested by the fact that he was expelled, or alleged to have been expelled, from Berlin for a violent attack upon Ambassador Gerard. Emerson has had a picturesque career in many cities, and he was expelled to a New York newspaper a picturesque but imaginative account of his own death in the far East under painful and interesting conditions. He was born in Dresden, of American parents, and is now travelling under American passport obtained by false representations. Fair Play Well Paid "Fair Play," that misnamed organ of Teutonic inspiration appears to have been subsidized quite disproportionately to its value, since it received in all 44,500 in the course of a few months in 1915. Marcus Braun, who appears as its editor, is known as a political leader among the Hungarians of lower Second avenue, in New York, and has been variously connected with the fringes of fellow Hungarian He. He is supposed himself to be a Hungarian. His associate in Fair Play was one J. P. Bryan. Even with such liberal support "Fair Play" did not fill the bill, for in January, 1916, a letter was written by F. Schroeder, a German newspaper correspondent in Tokio, to the German diplomatic representatives lamenting the lack of a genuinely influential weekly in New York devoted to Teutonic inter- and integrating the two Bohemian might be the right man to conduct such a publication. Viereck and Others. Frequent hints of George Sylvester Vliecke's journalistic activities appear and there are a few notations of "Pearson: Subject, Press," which may refer to Pearson's Magazine, of which the editor, Frank Harris, is strongly pro-German, or may indicate a secret agent named Pearson, who is the subject of one entry. The lecture platform is represented by Ray Beveridge, the California artist and sister of Kuehne Beveridge, the prominent sculptor. In one entry Privy Councillor Albert acknowledges receipt of $3,000 from the embassy to finance Miss Beveridge's lecture tour. German war pictures were also to be furnished, the lesson was to be comprised in topics allied to Red Cross work. Other figures of more vague import drift into light here and there in the Von Igel papers or the bureau of investigation reports. Col. E. G. Woodford, an old British hater, appears to have received sundry sums of money from the bureau, the following letters found in the Von Igel papers refer to Colonel Woodford: Holland a Way Station. It has long been an open secret that Holland is merely a way station for shipments of contraband into Germany. Here is official confirmation from the Von Igel records, which would seem to indicate a suspicious and confidential relation between the Holland commission and the German minister accredited to this country, or possibly a belief by the Germans that they could not successfully get the munitions to their own country. The message in code, with interlinear translation, is entered as "A 2493" and headed "German Embassy, Washington, D. C. April 6, 1916." It runs as follows: "Telegram from Berlin by secret roundabout way for Carl Heysen: Contraband to Holland 300,000 chests (cartridges) and 200 tons powder. Please get in touch with Holland commission. Sender, war minister, foreign office, in representation. HATZFELDT." While chiefly concerned with military affairs in Europe, the representatives of a supposedly friendly nation were keeping an interested watch on our own activities in the Axis Ace of code operations in April 11, 1916, signed 1132936729 46919. addressed Von Igel to this effect. "Herewith respectfully send an extract regarding the troops stationed in California and the armament of the coast fortifications." James F. J. Archibald, the magazine writer, in whose possession the British government discovered official correspondence between Von Bernstorff and Berlin, is shown in one of the papers sized to have acknowledged receipt of $5,000. Edwin Emerson, another writer, got $1,000 from Von Igel. Ray Beveridge, a California artist, and sister of Kuehne Beveridge, the sculptor, is shown to have received $3.,000 of German propaganda money. There is wit in using a proverb. The KITCHEN CABINET Faint heart is forerunner of sadness; Despondency robs us of health. The man who is chock-full of gladness Is the man who makes most of life's wealth. THE LUSCIOUS MELON Watermelon and canteloupes, when really good, need no dressing up to improve their flavor for that is impossible; but a tasteless melon need not be wasted, making delicious pickles and preserves. Never place ice in a melon to chill it as it destroys the fine flavor, especially of a musk ```markdown ``` melon. Chill them by placing them near the ice. A most delicious melon may be ruined to the eater by being served unchilled. When serving an insipid cantaloupe for breakfast a sprinkling of nutmeg and a dash of lemon juice will improve it. Tasteless melons may be diced and dressed with a French dressing, then served as a salad, or diced and treated with a thin sirup of lemon or orange juice, they make a good fresh fruit. When using a salad dressing for cantaloupes an addition of red pepper and more salt than is usual will improve the dressing, and lemon juice rather than vinegar should always be used as the sharper acid of the lemon is needed for this fruit. Cantaloupe Cocktail.—Cut the melon in balls with a potato scoop and fill the serving glasses, add a few seeded white grapes peeled, a little sliced plneapple and a slice or two of peaches. Cover the whole within a thin sirup using a little strawberry or cherry juice for flavor and serve with a cherry or strawberry on top. Melons With Ice Cream.—Scoop out halves of cantaloupe until only the green rind is left, these may be left from the cocktails and well-chilled, refill the melon molds with ice cream, Caramel may be used for color and decorate the cream with chocolate-dipped almonds to resemble seeds or bits of candied ginger may be cut in the form of seeds, making a favorite flavor combination. The sirup from preserved ginger is also a most delicious addition. Melon Basket.For a child's party a pretty basket made of a melon and filled with the rich, red, juicy balls looks too pretty to eat. The balls may be shaped in various ways. As only the red heart of the melon can be used for this two melons will be needed for there will be some waste. SOME GOOD DISHES. Lima beans, fresh or dried, make most substantial dishes served in various ways. Lima Beans a la Poulette. — Shell sufficient young lima beans to make a pint, cover with boiling salted water and cook until tender. Pour off Lima Beans a la Poulette. — Shell sufficient young lima beans to make a pint, cover with boiling salted water and cook until tender. Pour off all but a half cupful of the water and add one cupful of rich milk. Mix a little cold milk with a tablespoonful of flour and stir into the milk; cook five minutes, add salt and pepper to taste, a few drops of onion sauce, two beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of butter and the same amount of chopped parsley. Vegetable Soup.—Cut into half-inch dice sufficient carrot and turnip to measure one-third of a cupful each; cut one-half cupful of celery into pieces, dice one and a half cupfuls of potato, and slice one-half of an onion. Put three tablespoonfuls of butter in a stewpan, add the vegetables, cover and cook 15 minutes. Add a quart of water and cook for an hour. Season with salt and pepper and serve with a garnish of parsley. Steamed Brown Bread.—Take two cupfuls of yellow cornmeal, one cupful of rye, one cupful of flour, two cupfuls of sour milk, one cupful of molasses, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of soda, mix well and pour into greased baking powder cans to steam for two hours. Veal Hash.—Chop a piece of cooked veal fine. To a pint of the chopped meat allow a teaspoonful of onion juice, a teaspoonful of salt, one third of a teaspoonful of paprika, one teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce, and a tablespoonful of tomato catup. Melt a tablespoonful of drippings in a frying pan, moisten the meat with gravy, add seasonings and spread in the pan. Spread over the top one teaspoonful of the drippings and cook slowly for 15 minutes; it should be moist. Heap the hash on buttered toast and place a poached egg on each. Peach Trifle.—Boll together for five minutes a cupful of sugar and one cupful of water with the stones from a quart of peaches. Allow the stones to stand in the sirup for ten minutes. Skim them out and lay in the peeled peaches, stewing until tender. Line a dish with cake soaked in any fruit, add the peaches and cover with whipped cream sweetened and flavored with almond. Nellie Maxwell To Get Rid of Ants. Make a sirup, using two tablespoonfuls of sugar, two tablespoonfuls powdered borax and one quart boiling water. Saturate a sponge with this mixture and lay it' where the ants are thickest. When it is filled with ants, blunge into boiling water. GERMAN TRADE GOT IMPETUS HERE Declaration of Independence Gave Teutons Foothold in United States, COMMERCE CONFLICT SEEN Uncle Sam’s Experts Show Details of Organization With Which Amerl- can Merchants Must Compete. ‘The cosmopolitan point of view that has been acquired by the German trad- er is emphasized in a report which has been issued by Uncle Sam's Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestle Com- merce, on “German Foreign-Trade Or- ganization.” ‘The facts in ‘Teutonic commercial history that are presented in this volume show how thorough are the methods that have been employed for more than half a century and how earnestly that nation is preparing to reach ont into the world markets as soon as the war is ended. “In looking to the future,” states the bureau, “the United States has many of the same problems as Germany and the other warring nations. Like the German exporters, the American ex- porters have to face a period of sharp business competition in foreign coun- tries, such as probably has never be- fore been met. In Germany the indi- vidual business man, all the local and great national associations of business men, and the government departments fare even now strenuously occupied with the problems that must be worked out. The American business men’s as- sociations and the government depart- ments are alive to the importance of these matters, and upon thelr individ- ual and co-operative efforts through the coming critical years will depend in a large measure the nation’s future in international commerce.” Systematic Organization. ‘The analysis of central European methods that is given embraces impor- tant details of the systematic organ- ization of commercial education, the promotion of trade by the German set- tlements in foreign countries, the bank- ing and shipping facilities, trade-pro- moting agencies and trade associa- Yions, and painstaking cultivation of foreign markets. It is added, however, that “the report is intended not to show the American business man that he should necessarily follow German methods, but to present the facts of German forelgn-trade organization, s0 that he may decide which of the meth- ods successful in Germany could be utilized to advantage under American conditions.” The author of the report is Chaun- cey D. Snow, assistant chief of the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com- merce, who was in Germany at the time that the war broke out inyesti- gating industrial conditions in that country. He has made use of original material based upon personal contact with the organization and methods of commerce in Germany and other coun- tries, but for the most part his purpose was to bring together in one volume material on German trade and industry which the bureau had already pub- lished in various special reports, with some new and pertinent statistics. “The German export trade to over- sea countries,” it is pointed out, “was insignificant until about the middle of the elghteenth century, principally for the reason that the countries with colo- nfal possessions maintained stringent laws prohibiting foreigners to trade with the colonies and excluding for- eign flags from their ports. ‘The colo- nies were forced to sell their products to the motherland. Owing to their fa- vorable position the Hansa cities of Germany, chief of them Hamburg, nev- ertheless did ~ flourishing business in distributing colonial products as mid- diemen, gathering them from English, Dutch, French and Spanish ports.” Got Impetus From United States. It is of particular interest that the history given discloses the fact that one of the turning points in the growth of this foreign-trade organization with which the United States must compete in the future was actually furnishd by this country, for “the Declaration of Independence of the United States,” says the bureau, “gave a tremendous impetus to the merchants of Hamburg, Bremen and Lubock. For the first time German traders had an oppor- tunity to establish branches of thelr business houses in an oversea country; and it is very clear that this policy of gaining foothold in oversea lands by establishing branch houses has been ‘one of the most secure foundations of (German success in the export trade.” In its forecast of the future the bu- reau states that whatever may be the outcome of the war in Europe Germany is going to make as active a canvass for the export trade as its resources and financial condition at the end of the war will allow. Army Uniform Protected. Acting on reports that letter carriers at a certain place have been wearing hats similar to those prescribed for ‘use by the army, the post office depart- ment issued an order forbidding the wearing of a uniform by employees of the service any part of which is siml- lar to s distinctive part of that pre- scribed for the army, navy or marine corps. DAIRY PROFITS GROW Result of Organization of Cow- Testing Associations. Uncle Sam's Experts Believe This Is Greatest Factor in Upbuliding of the Industry. Increase of from $10 to $15, and in some cases much higher in the annual profits from each dairy cow, have re- sulted from the organization of co- ‘operative cow-testing associations in the United States, according to experts of the dairy division of the department of agriculture. The expense of mem- bership in these associations, on the other hand, has been only about $1.50 per cow per year. The organizations therefore have been very profitable, say the experts, who have been in close touch with this movement. Because of the great and obvious economic advantages arising from the associations, Uncle Sam’s dairy spe- clalists believe that the organizations are one of the most important factors for the upbuilding and development of the dairy industry in this country. Such an organization generally consists of 26 farmers, ving within a radius of a few miles, who co-operate to hire an expert tester to keep accurate ac- counts of the amounts and cost of feed consumed by each cow in the associa- tion, the quantity of milk produced by each and its richness in butterfat. ‘These statistics usually reveal the fact that some cows are not producing enough to pay for their keep, while others are highly profitable, Acting on this information, the owner of the cows disposes of the least desirable of his animals and makes up his herd ex- clusively of those that produce a con- siderable profit. ‘The membership of the association 1s placed at 26, so that the tester can make a complete round each month, devoting one day to each member, and that he may keep his records on a monthly basis. It has been found by careful experiments that the averages based on monthly tests do not vary more than 2 per cent from the produe- tion, as shown by daily observations. Since the tester {s an expert and can make the necessary tests and computa- tions rapidly, and since he can be de- pended on to make his observations in- dependently of pressure of work on the individual farm, the owners of dairy cows find {t cheaper and more satisfac- tory in many cases to have their test- ing done through the association than to undertake to do it themselves. Experts of the dairy division say that there are now nearly 350 cow-testing associations in this country, 135 having ‘been added during the past year. These associations are said to have an aggre- gate membership of 8,800 farmers, owning approximately 150,000 cows. The cow-testing association originated in Denmark in 1895 and the first or- ganization in this country was formed in Michigan In 1906. Because of the value of the associations to the dairy industry of the United States the de- partment of agriculture is stimulating interest in them and is assisting farm- ers in thelr organization. MARK WAR VICTIMS’ GRAVES This Will Be Duty of New Service Or- ganized by Uncle Sam for Duty In France. American soldiers who give their lives to the cause in which the nation has enlisted will not Me forgotten on foreign soil if the careful preparations of the general staff can prevent it. Relatives of the men who go to the front in France may rest assured that every effoft will be made to locate and register the graves of the men killed in action or who die of disease. Army orders direct that a graves registration service, quartermaster corps, be organized for the duration of the war. The first unit will be com- manded by a captain, aided by a sec- ond leutenant and will include 49 en- listed men of different grades. The duties of service are not prescribed be- yond the name which itself discloses the mission. pawnenwnntwaaweesee sen ony ¢ Hoover to Assist Farmers 4 $ In the Raising of Sheep § “Baa-baa, black sheep, have you any wool?” “Yes, sir; yes, sir! Mr, Hoov- er insists that it is my patriotic duty to increase my customary ‘three bags full’ at least 50 per cent, besides raising a family of woolly little lambkins to do their respective bits.” Some such revision may be made of the old rhyme, for the food administration 1s encour- aging the raising and breeding of sheep, and will help small farmers to get flocks started in a minimum amount of time. In conjunction with the department of agriculture, the food adminis- tration will encourage the use of grazing lands now lying idle, and when a shortage of grass is threatened in the Southwest will work to have the flocks trans- ferred to Central and Southern states, Sheep, it is pointed out, can find sustenance where the grass is too short for cattle grazing, and they are now in great de- mand, both to clothe the armies and feed the people of the allied nations. WILL FEED PRISONERS Red Cross to Care for Uncle Sam’s Men in Germany, Speedy Relief Made Necessary by Fact That Rations Given Captives by Teutons Are Inadequate. ‘The American Red Cross has perfect- ed plans for Americans who may be captured and held in German prison camps, A prisoner's relief committee has been organized at Berne, Switz- erland, under the supervision of Ellis L, Dresel of the American legation. Mr. Dresel served from the outbreak of the war in 1914 up to our recall of Mr. Gerard as an attache of the American embassy at Berlin, where his duties Included rellef work for men of the entente nationalities in German prison camps. There are now comparatively few American prisoners in Germany. Most of these are civilians taken off Amer- {ean merchantmen that have been sunk by submarines, More recent arrivals in the prison camps had served as gun crews on merchant ships, Speedy provision for their relief and for those who may be taken prisoners 4s necessitated by the German policy of giving prisoners food totally inade- quate to keep them in good health. A recent cable from Paris tells of French soldier just back from a Ger- man prison camp and tn the last stage of tuberculosis, ‘This soldier was one of a battalion of a thousand young and healthy men captured in a body, early in the war. More than 50 per cent of the number are now dead, or have been returned to France, via Switzerland, as incurables. Malnutrition, no less than unsanitary conditions, produces these results. Brit- ish, Canadian, and Australian prison- ers of war in Germany now depend ex- clusively upon food shipped to them from London and generally give the prison camp rations to prisoners of other countries, who are, as a rule, less well provided. Bread is already being dispatched from Berne to the Americans in Germany, and cae ments have also been made for trans- mitting letters and money from their families and friends in this country. ‘Thus far bread only has been sup- plied by the Berne committee of the American Red Cross, Assorted food parcels and clothing will also be for- warded. In the meantime the Central Prisoners of War committee of London is acting on behalf of American pris- oners in Germany, sending them such foods as the committee regularly dis- patch to British and colonial prison- ers, By arrangement with Germany these food parcels are sent to the prisoners three times a fortnight. Each of the parcels which supplement the bread, also regularly supplied, contains ten pounds of meat, butter, sugar, jam, coffee or tea, salt, rice, and dried fruit. The American Red Cross is forwarding to Berne stocks of the same foodstuffs, ax well as cheese, evaporated milk, codfish, and mixed biscuit. Tinned goods cannot be sent to prisoners, for Germany has made over the tin containers as hand gren- ades, WILL AID DIRECT MARKETING Uncle Sam's Fleid Agents Will Endeav- or to Foster Dealings Between Producer and Consumer. Renewed efforts through a staff of field agents to bring about an increase in direct marketing by use of the par- cel post, express, and similar agencles will be made by the bureau of Markets of the United States department of ag- riculture with funds made available in the recently enacted food production law. Agents will be placed in several large cities throughout the country to awaken interest in direct marketing among customers. At the same time the agents will work through the post- masters of small towns in their terri- tory to interest producers in furnish- ing supplies. ‘This will be the first intensive field work in behalf of parcel post market- ing that the bureau of markets has been in a position to carry on. It is expected to result in the formation of carefully selected lists of producers who may be depended on to supply va- rious products directly to consumers. Crops Worth Millions Are Saved From the Squirrels More than $1,000,000 worth of crops were saved from ground squirrels in North Dakota this year as a result of a campaign conducted by the department of agriculture in co-operation with state authorities. Similar savings may be ef- fected elsewhere in the vast area infested by these animals,” according to a department state- ment. ‘The squirrels on 7,000,000 acres in North Dakota were killed by means of poison at a cost of about five cents an acre. Nearly 20,000 farmers assisted in the work, Similar work has been started in Montana, Idaho and Oregon and interest is being developed in Nevada and California in or- ganizing like campaigns of ex- termination, MILITARY NATUR: FAKIR IN DEMAND Uncle Sam Needs Men Whose Chief Duty It Will Be to Fool the Germans.

Paint River Over Bridge. But the military nature fakir hac his heartiest reason for laughter when ‘it came to painting a river over a ‘bridge, That happened once when » vital river crossing near an important town was shelled every day by the Germans with such success that the engineers could scarcely make it safe for even a few hours of travel at night So a new bridge was built and rested peacefully daytimes under a river painted canvas that could be rolled back at night, while the former bridge needed only to be patched up from time to time to act as a decoy for the persistent German shell fire. ‘Though the work has long been or ganized abroad, in this land it is only beginning, so that wherever ingenious young men are looking for special en- tertainment in the war of fooling Ger- mans, they are urged to waste no time in getting in touch with the Chief of Engineers, War Department, Wash- ington, D. C. LEADS ALL IN CANNED GOODS American Industry Greatest in World and Promises to Show Great Expansion After War. The American canning industry is the largest in the world, and the de- velopment of an increased export trade depends to a great degree upon the ed- ucation of the people in foreign coun- tries to the variety and wholesomeness of American canued foods, As a step toward acquainting foreign peoples with the American canned foods avall- able for export, the processes of can- ning, system of grading, and methods of packing, Uncle Sam's bureau of for- eign and domestic commerce has {s- sued a bulletin providing this infor- mation, Undoubtedly, as a result of the war, American products have become much more widely known abroad, and on the conclusion of hostilities the normal field will be found to have ‘greatly broadened, It is expected. ‘The bulletin, which has a large num- ber of illustrations designed to show: the exact sizes of the different grades of canned products and the process of canning, has separate sections devoted to the preparation of raw material, brining, blanching, siruping, exhaust- ing, closing, processing and cooling. ‘There are also chapters on food in- spection and complete tables are in cluded giving the number of cans te the case, the net and gross weight of cans, and the size of the case In whicl they are packed.

OCTOBER 8, 1920 If October's brides take advantage of the great liberty in the choice of styles, for their wedding gowns this year, they will be wonderfully garbed. It appears that they may be quite independent of the current modes and make excursions into the past in order to garb themselves and their attendants in the styles of other days and other lands. All that is required of the wedding procession is that it shall be picturesque and dignified. There is no getting away from that last condition; no frivolous and light-blinded suggestion must appear in the bride's apparel. If she chooses the modes of the hour she is fortunate, also, for she finds them beautifully adapted to the wedding gown. There are the straight-line dresses and those that show a little definition of the waistline; all simple and dignified. And the vogue for full draperies in soft, rich satins plays into the hands of the designer of wedding gowns. Just how well this style can be managed is shown in the gown pictured. For Her Hours of Ease 1 L The comfortable and reliable kimona, undisturbed by brilliant rivals in lounging robes and negligees, appears in greater force than ever, secure of a place in every wardrobe. Japan is sending a lot of them in pretty colorings and with attractive embroideries, and selling at very moderate prices. Some of these are made of thin silks, interlined, but most of them are of cotton crepes. /The printed silks are very interesting. Among the American cottons flannelette is the most popular choice for kimonas and house jackets made for real comfort. The newest arrivals among them are finished with ruffles of narrow ribbon, and proclaim their allegiance to the cause of pockets by adopting one or two. Most of them also bear the signs of the times in a narrow belt made of the same material as the kimona. But this is one of the garments that has no good reason for changing and therefore the kimonas of today are much like those of many yesterday. In the picture a cheery and good-looking example of the Japanese silk kimona has set-in sleeves and a wide collar edged with a frill of satin ribbon. Three points of lace at the front of the collar are set on at each side. The sleeves are three-quarter length with turned-back cuffs edged with ribbon frills, and the pockets are finished 'in the same way. A narrow sash, This model has the regulation long sleeve, partly of satin and partly of crepe georgette, but it has not the regulation high neck. A little chemisette of crepe with a V opening at the front, makes pretty amends for the absence of a higher collar. It is hardly discernible in the picture. The train is long and straight and the veil is longer, falling in two lengths from the puffs across the back of the head. The ends of the veil are bordered with fine val lace and the shorter length is something over half the length of the figure. A very narrow girdle and a double strand of pearl beads dispose of the finish at the waistline, and a long strand of pearls is worn about the neck. Orange flower buds make a band about the forehead, with clusters of buds and blossoms arranged in the vell at the back. Altogether this is a costume that will never look less beautiful in years to come than it does today—and the bride will always be able to point with pride to her picture. Q made of the silk, tells the rest of the story of this unpretentious garment that contrives to be fascinating because of its simplicity and the real beauty of the silk. It would make a lovely gift for the girl going away to school—or anyone else inclined kimonaward in her hours of ease. Julia Bottomley A breakfast daintily served is the surest index of a perfect day. One woman, who determined to give her hubby a cheerful sendoff every morning, bought blue willowware for the breakfast china. Then she used blue and white as her color scheme for the dining room. She made napkins of white linen, rolled their hem; and blanket-stitched them in blue. They were related at once to the china. Then she bought two blue and white runners and spread these over the breakfast table. A blue bowl, which held a place in the center of the table, always contained white flowers of some sort. This was one woman's way to make a husband happy. A novel window seat, which contains a storage space for clothing, can be extended to form a single bed. --- J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
