ISSUING
 FALSE PASSPORTS
GERMANY EXPRESSES DOUBT AS TO TRUTH OF TESTIMONY BE-
 FORE BRITISH COURT.
SAYS FALSIFIERS AT WORK
Claims That Individuals in Enemy Ter. ritory Have Been Issuing False Passports and Selling Them
 For Good Price.

hington.--Germany, in note which reached the State Department, in reply to Secretary Lansing's rep resentations on the misuse of Ameri- can passports, expresses doubt as to the truth of testimony before Brit ish courts during the trial of spies, and emphatically denies that Ger man government officials had prepared false American passports and handed them to agents.
 The text of the note signed by Herr Zimmerman, undersecretary of state for foreign affairs, and transmitted through Ambassador Gerard, follows:
 "The undersigned has the honor to state the following to his excellency, the Hon. James w. Gerard. in reply to the letter of July 31, last, concern ing the alleged issuing of false Amer ican passports by the German author ities.
 The assertions made by Robert Rosenthal, who was shot in England as a spy, that a false passport had been offered to him in the offices of the German admiralty staff: that Cor vetionkaptain Prieger held a stock of falsitied american passport blanks ;n the admiralty staff offices, and that the latter had shown him the water marks in them, as we'll as rubber stamps for the Iegalization of false passports, one and all, are not true
 Tt is an established fact, however, that during the present situation of the war certain individuals in the oc. cupied enemy territory and also in neutral countries endeayored to make a trade of issuing false papers of legi- timation and of selling them for a good price. In this way passport fal- sifiers' den was raided in Antwerp, which was already in existence when Antwerp was occupied by German troops. It may well be assumed that mated from such plant.
 "As far as the alleged testimony given by Rosenthal and Breckow be- fore the English law courts is con- cerned, German officers prepared false passports and handed them to agents if such testimony should actually have been given--it must be assumed that the accused were induced by threats, promises or other means of pressure during the examination to in- vent these statements in the belief that they might be Of interest for the enemy state. They may have hoped to obtain a mitigation of the impend- ing severe punishment by placing the responsibility for the false passports on the authorities and not on them selves. Strong doubts existed here, however, as to whether the alleged testimony was actually given. In any case, the assumption that German gov ernment officials, with the knowledge and consent of German government au- thorities, had prepared false American passports and handed them to agents, must be energetically refuted."

Salmon Thrive in Maine,

Success has been met by the bu- reau of fisheries in establishing hump back salmon on the Maine coast, ac- cording to reports from that terri tory. The fish were planted in Febru- ary, 1914. Many fish weighing five to seven and half pounds have been taken or seen in Penobscot river Me, and twenty were captured alive by agents of the bureau near Bangor and held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs. From two of these fish 5000 eggs were taken September 6, and, after fertili- zation, sent to the Craig Brook hatch cry for incubation. Local fishermen caught and ate large numbers, and an employee of the Green Lake hatchery took fifteen fish last week. These had passed through the fishways in dams in Dennys river and were dropping down stream in spent condition; at the same time both live and dead fish were observed below the dams.

HIS SILENCE A COMPLIMENT
Mistake That Is Recorded of This Husband.

The coffee was weak, the bread un- derdone, and the fowl tough, or at least he said so. His wife's long pa tience gave way.
 John Henry" said she, I've tried faithfully to cook to suit you for twelve years long. No one in the town has better-cooked food, yet you are always finding fault. Why cant you praise me once in a while, I'd like to know"
 He looked up in astonishment.
 Well, if you ain't the most unrea- sonable woman l ever saw" be ejacu lated. Why, many and many is the time I've sat down to a meal and nev- CT said word about it. Anybody would know there wasn't any fault to be found, or I'd a found it, and yet you want better compliment than that! That's just like a woman-they cant tell a compliment when they get onei"

Thouoht Umbrellas Unmilltary

Umbrellas and khaki seem a most unlikely combination; yet one in- stance is recorded of British soldiers taking their umbrellas into action, ac- cording to the London Chronicle. On December 10, 1913, during the battle of the Niye, the Grenadier guards cap tured redoubt outside Bayonne. While they were in possession of this Wellington passed by and noticed that the officers had umbrellas up to pro- tect themselves from the heavy rain.
 He sent back his aide-de-camp, Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that the duke does not approve of the use of umbrellas in action. The guards officers may, if they pleace, carry um- brellas even in uniform when on duty at St. James; but in the field it is not only ridiculous, but unmilitary."

Approximately 20 per cent less coal year ending June 30. 1915. than in the year ending June 30, 1914, according 70 the annual report of T. H. Shaw, state mine inspector, filed with Gov ernor Hays. In 1915 there was mined t,700,099 tons, valued at S3,137, ,211, as compared with 2.136.783 tons, valued Il $3,531 ,100 in 1914. Reasons for the decrease, the report says, are the fall .ng off in the price of coal, the open ing up of new fielos where coal can be produced cheaper and the de- pressed business conditions that pre- vailed. The number of employees en- gaged in the industry decreased from 5,S55 in 1914, to APPS in 1915.
 The report says there were seven accidents in the field. in which men were killed, and 137 accidents from which no deaths resulted. For each of he seven men killed 42,S71 tons of coal were mined and for each man injured 12,409 tons were mined. For oidSLlHS anu HlulHS III the Heiu ot'- 545 kegs of powder, costing S135,090, were required. The coal field in Ar kansas is confined to Sebastian, Scott, Franklin, Johnson, Pope, Yell, Logan, Washington and Crawford counties and covers an area Of 2,000 square miles. Sebastian county led In produc- tion with 1,254,373 short tons, valued at $1,135,7S0.
