GERMAN ATTEMPT
New York World Asserts I'm
periaI Government Sought
to Create Prejudice In
United States.

New York. Aug. 17.--The New York
World has begun the publication of a
series OF articles raising for the first
time the curtain that has hitherto con-
cealed the activities and purposes OF
the official German propaganda in the
United States. D.
The fact set forth are based upon
correspondence exchanged by repre-
sentatives of the German government,
its agents and sympathetic allies in
this country which has come into pos
session Of the World.
No less a parsonage than Herr Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, chancellor Of the
German empire, has actually directed
from Berlin most of the undertakings
Of his government in this country

The facts set forth in the corre-
spendence show that the chief actors
selected to perform the duties assigned
were Count Johann Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador at Washing
ton; Capt. Franz Won Papen, the mil
itary attache OF the embassy; DIR.
Heinrich +. Albert, the chief financial
agent of the German government in
this country Herr Hugo Schmidt.
western representative Of the Deutsche
Bank of Berlin: Hugo Schweitzer, a
German American chemist; S. Sulz-
berger, a banker in Frankfort, Ger
many; Herr Waetzoldt, trade repre-
sentative of the German government in
this country; agents OF the German
bureau of information (secret service)
and various other agents who are not
officially identified, in the public view,
with the GerTnan p0Varnmanf
Purposed to involve U. s.
The disclosures contained In the cor
respondence. the authenticity of which
has been clearly established, show that
the German propaganda had for its
purpose the involving of the United
States in the complications OF the Eu-
ropean war; that the plans designed to
accomplish this result were carefus4y
and deliberately projected, efficiently
organized, superbly executed, and ade-
Quately financed.
Every move made in furtherance of
the general German propaganda and OF
specific undertakings Is shown to have
been performed under the personal d.
rection of Germany's chancellor, its
American ambassador. and Chief FL
nancial Agent Albert.
Sought TO Influence Press.
One OF the very important features of
the German program was a most eiab-
crate scheme to control and influence
the press of the United States, to es-
tabliSh newspapers and news services,
finance professional lecturers and NOV
Ing picture shows and to enlist the sup
port OF American citizens and publish
books for the purpose OF fomenting I'm
ternal discord among the American
people to the advantage OF the German
empire.
In furtherance of this plea OF formu-
hating and controlling public sentiment
favorable to II and unfavorable to the
United States government, the facts in
possession OF the World show that the
German government Is the financial
hacker OF Fatherland. the publication

The weavers of cotton cloths have
become expert in making fabrics much
like the heavier weaves of wool in ap-
pearance, as we'll as some novelties
that appear only in cotton. These
heavy weaves, including cotton cordu
roy and corded materials, are also
shown in basket weaves. They are
all used for the popular sport skirts
and summer coats that are featured
SO strongly for street and outing wear.
All of a sudden cretonnes have sprung
into use in the making of apparel. Gay
ly flowered and quantity figured Gre
tonnes are used to make bright morn
ing dresses and are called garden"
dresses. Floppy-brimmed hats or
beach bonnets (Which are sunbonnets
parading under a new name) are worn
with them and made Of the same
cretonne.
One of the best models for a coat
Of cotton corduroy, corded cloth, or
fancy weaves In cotton, is shown in
the picture given here. Like few of
the heavy linen weaves, it is unmus-
sable. For decoration it depends
upon machine stitching and buttons
made by covering button molds with
the fabric. 1t is cut along the same
lines as popular sport coats of wool,
with high, convertible collar, big pock-

The ostrich boa has met with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic revival
of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds of fluffy and
airy neckwear. The unusually cool
weather Of spring has made some sort
of protection almost necessity, and
there is no denying the becomingness
of soft feathers about the throat.
White fox, red fox and light gray or
tan fur neckpieces one sees with the
most summery Of white turbans and
flower-trimmed hats. This vogue is
probably a reflection from the west
ern coast, for visitors to the Panama
exposition have found the weather
cool and everyone indulging in the
San Francisco privilege of wearing
furs with summer gowns.
The feather boa of today is short
as to length, long as to fiber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned com binations. Occasionally a
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about the throat is seen, but
not often. They all fasten with bows
of soft messaline ribbon, apparently,
or the exception Is so rare as to
prove the rule.
Very smart sets consisting of boa
and ostrich trimmed hats are shown,
and there are great numbers of cock
ades, fans and other fanciful orna-
ments made of ostrich to be used on
midsummer hats.

Horse With a Wooden Leo.

Farmer Fred Harris of Pownal, a
few miles from here, has never been
In Winsted, Conn.,, nor has he ever
been called a nature faker, but he says
(and the correspondent bears him QUIT
that he has horse with a wooden leg,
according to New York Worlds
North Adams (Nass.) correspondent.
Thus:
One of the horses legs became in
fected and a veterinary wanted to
shoot the beast.
Neigh" said Harris and the horse
together.
So the leg was cut off. Then the vii
lage carpenter was called in, and aft
er some experimenting a wooden leg
fitted with thick pad was construct
ed, and the first thing the neighbors
knew the old horse was back on the
farm job.
Mr.. Harris admits the horse has
something of numbering" gait, but
thinks that is to be expected.

Three boas are shown here, one in
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of the feathers, and the
third in black tipped with white. In
the last the white fiue is tied or pasted
on to the colored flue, and there is
an endless variety in combinations to
choose from in boas made in this way
But the boa may be had now in any
color, even the most unusual new tints
and shades.
1t is to be remembered that a bit of
rich and fluffy neckwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here a white fabric hat is
shown trimmed with a pattern applied
in small black beads about the brim
edge. 1t has a collar of white ribbon
with small squares of embroidery in
black, and a white rose is mounted
near the edge of the front brim. The
second bead-trimmed hat shows a re-
versal of color; white beads are ap-
piled to a black hemp shape with fac
ing of white Grape.

MANY HOLY LAND PILGRIMS
Easy and Cheap Travel Methods
Yearly Increase Number OF Paies-
tines Devout Sojourners.

With the increased ease and cheap
ness of transportation the number OF
pilgrims to the Holy Land increases
yearly. The Roman Catholics come
chiefly from France, but they are few
compared with the multitude of Rus
SLAMS, nearly all simple peasants
ready to kiss the stones OF every
SPOT which they are told that the
presence of the Virgin or saint has
hallowed. To accommodate those pill
grim swarms, for besides the Catho-
lies and the Orthodox, the other an
cient churches of the East, such as
the Armenians, the Copts, and the
Abyssinians, are also represented,
countless monasteries and hosp1ces
have been erected at and around Jeru-
salem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and other
sacred spots, and thus the aspect OF
these places has been so modernized
that it is all the more difficult to
realize what they were like in ancient
days. Jews have come in large num-

IL" where his heads covering
was made, or that this Ecua-
dorian city sends to the world a large
supply of its famous sombreros.
Such, however, is the fact; and now
that the through route is open via Pan
anna it is likely that Cuenca's hats and
those of other Ecuadorian cities will
come to us more directly, quicker and
| in larger quantities than ever before,
| says writer in the Pan American
Bulletin.
Where is Cuenca? High up in the
| Andes, nowhere more majestic than
in Ecuador, lies this ancient city, with
a present population of 10000.
| Through the republic from north to
south two chains of the Andes stretch;
| between these mountains are high ta-
bIelands, the most thickly populated
sections of Ecuador. About 100 miles
apart are the three leading inland
cities of the country-Quito in the
| north, Riobamba in the center, and
| Cuenca in the south. From ancient
times the trade routes have existed
between these centers of commerce
and with the coast ports, Of which
Guayaquil is the most important. The
| opening of the railway a few years
ago from the latter city to Quito
brought the capital, and Riobamba as
well, into rail communication with
the coast; but Cuenca remains SO
miles from this modern artery Of
commerce
Today the Huigra-Cuenca railroad
| is building toward Cuenca, and If
plans are carried out the present force
of 1aborers will gradually be increased
to 1000 men. The Typographical studies
| have been completed from Huigra. a
station on the Guayaquil and Quito
railroad, southwark 15 miles, and the
preliminary location established about
ten miles. Approximately $4,000 per
month is being expended for the en-
gineering force which numbers so
| men.
Delightful Mountain Climate.
Let us press onward and view the
old city of Cuenca before the advent
of the railroad, before the moderniz-
ing effects despoil it of certain charms
that appeal to many people. The city
that is easily reached by rail is not
always the most interesting or the
most hospitable to the stranger
The visitor will be delighted with
the climate of Cuenca. The city lies
in a valley 1900 feet above sea level.
and about 10 miles air line southeast
of Guayaquil Cuenca was founded In
1857 on the site of Tumibamha, set
tlement that the ancient natives start
ed many years previous to that date.
Various mountain peaks dominate the
landscape, one of which, Tarqui, was
chosen by the French astronomers in
1742 as marking their meridian.

A Pennsylvania girl has won the

Thrift recently offered for the best
definition of thrift, says the Youths
Companion. Thrift" she wrote, "is
management of your affairs in such a

The definition may seem trite, but
the truth it expresses needs constant
emphasis. Saving money on one thing

Embarrassed Young Man Found 1t
Somewhat Hard Lines, But Under
the Circumstances What
Could He Do?

She knew that he was coming. 1t
had all been arranged beforehand over
the telephone. Yet, as he rang the
bell of her suburban villa, he was con-
scious that he was embarrassed and
fustered. One does not acquire the
habit of proposing every day to pretty
girls.
He was ushered from the bright
light of day into a semitoned room
full Of people. She advanced cordial
1y and waved her hand about, intro
ducing him.
This she said, with trace of
self-consciousness, "is the gentleman

applause.

enough! What do you mean?"
'Well, you came around to propose,
didn't you? You told me SO over the
phone. You won't deny that
''Yes, did," he stammered
Then l thought would avail my.
self Of this splendid opportunity. You
see, my dear, it's this way. Now that
I've been elected president I've sim
ply got to get up an entertainment that
will interest people. We've danced
until we are sated with 1t. We've
played bridge until we're bored to
death.
We've had afternoon teas and
church fairs and authors readings and
musicales and recitations until we are
all worn out, and so, dear, when you
told me your were coming around to
propose, said: Here's my chance
for something new Go on, don't stop!
You're going to make hit. You've
got 'em all going! The doors are all
locked! You can't get away! Win
me in three-quarters of an hour, and
I'm positive that when my head drops
on your shoulder you'll get rising
