SUM-FLOWER OIL
Thrifty Germans CultivatinE Plant and
Produce Substitute for Product
OF Olive.

BERLIN, October 9.-The war as a
tea cher of economy is scoring new re-
suits from time 10 time even among
people already so economical as the
Germans. Tho newspapers are calling
attention to the extraordinary increase
this year in the cultivation of the COM
mon sun flower; ii is seen in great
quantities in the gardens in the suburbs
OF Berlin and other cities, and along
railways everywhere. In previous years
the only practical value of the plant
was in feeding the seeds to birds; but
this year the seeds are used to make
an oil which is pronounced equal to the
best olive oil for cooking purposes.
4 writer is also pointing to further
possibilities of the plant. The oil-cake
left after making oil. he says. is an
excellent feed for animals. Whereas
the seeds themselves can be roasted
The young shoots and undevclopcd
leaves can also be cooked and eaten as
II palatablc substitute for spiInch.
In Belgium, too, the Germ;eIs are
turning their thoughts toward df.icov-
cring new uses for old and familiar
plants. An agricultural weekly pub
lished by the German authorities there
made from tender. half-grown leaves
OF the blackberry and raspberry plants.

DENOUNCED AS TRAITOR
TO GERMAN CAUSE,

The member OF the party committee
by which the secret pamphlet was pub
!iShed, has written a long comment on
IL, in which he says:
The activities Of DIR. Liebknecht in
France furnish the psychological key
to his fanatical cndeavor to play the
present awful historical drama. Since
the war began he has been tireless in
his efforts to place Germany and the
leaders OF the German Social Democ-
racy in as bad n light as possible be-
fore the eyes Of tho world.
I'm his attempt to surround himself
with the halo OF 4 hero and guide OF
the nation. he does not hesitate to lie
and to picture tho members of the
party once led by his great father and
August Bcbel as bloodthirsty savages.
HE even goes so far as TO take the
part Of the unspeakable Car. the Rus
sian bureaucracy and the Serbian muir
derers, because in his pamphlet he says
nothing of the PanSlavist and Ser
bian intrigues. and he accuses Germany
and Austria directly of Il criminal con-
spiracy against Russia.
'In March, when Deputy Haase, as
the speaker of the part in the Reich
stag. recognized the duty Of every citi-
zen to defend the Fatherland, Dr. Lieb-
knecht protested vehemently, while a
day or two later in Il newspaper article
he praised the French Socialists for
backing the war policy Of their gov
eminent. These facts sufficiently char
acterize the hero role he tries to play"

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch
BERLIN. October 9.-The activities
OF DR.. Carl Liebknecht. the leader Of
the antiwar factions of the German So
cialists arc placed in new light by
a pamphlet that has been circulated
secretly among his partisans and adj
mirerS.
Under the title. Glass War Against
War: Material for the Licbknecht
Case" the little book defends the at
titude OF the antimili,aris,ic leader.
and shows him as sympathiZ"r of the
French cause y copy fell into the
hands OF member of the executive
committee OF the Social Democracy,
who has now published it,
The pamphlet states that I.ichltnccht
on July IL. 1914. scarcely two weeks
before the outbreak of the war, at
tended a conference of tho French and
Belgian Socialists at Condo sur Il Es-
caut. near Valencennes. lie made a
speech in which he took the stand that
all state frontiers should be abolished,
as they were contrary to the best in
tcrcsts OF the masses.
HAILED AS PRESIDENT
OF COMING REPUnLIC
In his passionate grafton, he de-
nounced the German government. and
he was enthusiastically hailed as the
first President OF the coming German
republic" when he declared: The
dem ocratization of Prussia is not only
German question, ii concerns ali Eu-
rope. and must be accomplished at any
cost, no matter what means We may
have to use"
From Condo -sur-L E.scaut, DR.. Lieb-
knecht, according TO the pamphlet,
went to Paris. where he conferred with
several OF the French ministers and
Jean Jaures. the French Socialistic
leader. who was assassinated on the
eve Of the declaration OF war
On July IA, the French national holt
day. he attended a meeting of the ma
tional congress of the French Social
lists with Georges WE'LL the Alsatian
member of the Reichstag. who since
has gone over to France and entered
the French army:
On the following day Liebknecht ad-
dressed several thousands Of Alsatians.
who had come to Belfort TO take part
in the celebration Of Bastille Day.
From Belfort he went to Geneva, Laus-
anne and Basic, where he conferred
with Socialists from the French can
tons OF Switzerland. After his return
TO Germany he wrote TO one of his
most intimate friends:
THE impressions l received in France
have printed themselves indelibly upon
my mind. The memory of the great
days l spent on French soil accom-
panics me wherever ! go"
The pamphlet, which undoubtedly
was written by Liebknecht himself,
eliminates in the following statement:
DR.. Liebknecht has since the begin
ming Of the war consistently fought
for the principles of international
socialism which were indorsed by the
great French party leaders. His sole
aim is to smash militarism for all time
and to stop present wholesale murder
of our brothers in France and our Ger
man workingmen."

STONEHENGE MAY BE PUBLIC
 PROPERTY

LONDON, July 16.-The statement of Sir Cosmo Antrobus. owner of Stonehenge, that he will consider the sale of the old Druidic monument apart from the surrounding estate. has revived the scheme for it's purchase. AS the oldest human monument in England, Stonehenge has always ap- pealed to popular imagination. But owing to the drain on the public purse in war charities, 1t is questionable whether sufficient money could be raised now.
 In 1905, the owner Of Stonehenge of that time refused s5O,OOO for the road ways leading to it, which he had obstructed. This offer was made by the Footpath's Preservation Society. The new law of 1913, which enables the authorities to prevent the destruc- tion of historic monuments, makes the work of purchase much easier than before, if the money can be raised.

I RY OPE N AIR TREATMENT ON
 WOUNDED

CAMBRIDGE, Eng, July 16.-Cam- bridge Is the home of the most sue. cessful hospital experiment that has been attempted in England since the beginning of the war. The First East ern General Hospital. built early last fall, was an attempt to enlist the larg- est possible amount of fresh air and sunshine into the treatment of in valided soldiers. The wards are with out wall on the south frontage, being wide open to wind and sun.
 After six months experience, the managers of the hospital declare it an unqualified success. Eleven thousand English and Belgian patients have been received from the front and from military camps in England. with only S5 deaths-an average of 7-10 of one per cent. This is regarded as a re. markable record in view of the con. siderable proportion of septic wounds, tetanus, pneumonia. typhoid, and spotted fever among the patients.

BELGIAN TROOPS STUDY WHILE
 |NTERNED

AMSTERDAM, July 16.-Probably few people outside Holland have heard of the University of Amers- foort," which although only a few months old embraces on it's faculty some of the most educational institu- tions in that its professors establish their own chairs" choose their own subjects, and treat them as they wish. They are bound by no official rules and harrassed by no traditions. The student enjoys similar freedom. He undergoes no admission examination, chooses his own courses of study and completes them whenever he thinks he has had enough.
 Professors and students are mem- bers of the Belgian refuge colonies in Holland. After the fall of Antwerp. a large number of Belgian troops crossed the Dutch frontier and were interned at Amersfoort for the dura- tion of the war. The folly of keeping together a large body of men with nothing to occupy their time or to break the monotony of their daily life was at once realized. Professor Shrijnen of the University of Utrecht made an appeal to refugee Belgian professors. and in January the first term of the University of Amersfoort was opened with a hundred students enrolled. The first course offered was in pedagogy, under Professor Collard of the University of Louvain.
 To the enterprise thus launched both Belgian and Dutch professors have offered their services generously. The originality of the idea tempted many of them, and gradually the student body has been extended.

WOMEN IN TELEPHONE
 EXCHANGES

HAMBURG, July 16.-Turktsh news is in the greatest vogue in Germany at the present time. German papers have just printed, as an evidence of the growth of occidental ideas in Turkey, story of the increasing freedom of women telephone operators in Con stantinople.
 Though there was the utmost oppo- sition at the start to the idea of Turkish women violating their cen tury-old traditions by entering the ex- changes and exposing" themselves to the public, this feeling has almost en- tirely died away. To facilitate their work the authorities have allowed them to abandon the prescribed Turk ihs headdress and wear a cap that does not interfere with the telephone headpiece.
 Women have become so proficient so indispensable in fact-that a woman, Miss Osman, has been placed in entire charge of the Stamboul ex- change. When the telephone operators attempted recently to conduct an out. doors picnic along occidental lines however, all the old-time prejudice arose, and a policeman spoiled the whole affair by forcing the women to sit down with their backs to the men

LONDON, July 16.-One of the latest and most popular recruits in the ranks of those who are doing something for their country during the war" has appeared in the person of Lord Norbury, now turned the 50 years of age mark He commenced his self-imposed task recently in the fitting shop on an aeroplane works attired in coarse blue calico smock and cloth cap. Nearby the works in small lodge occupied by a butler Lord Norbury has engaged a little simple-furnished bedroom and is doing his own valeting. The butler says His Lordship Is paying work. mems rent, and is taking his meals with the other workmen in the general canteen. His Lordship had put In a few hours work and was sitting with the after.breakfast crowd in the can. teen before being recognized by a blue-suited laborer who then came over and spoke to him. How do you do old chap, glad to meet you" said the workman putting out his hand which the peer cordially shook. Another workman was heard to remark, "I guess he's good enough and we will put him flying to a thing or two if he only shows half an eye"
 At the close of his days work-6 a. m. to 6 D. m. Lord Norbury seemed well content with his first efforts as a laborer. Things are turning out top hole he said It is really very enjoy. able and there Is something noble in all manual work. am not at all fatigued; I am used to hard work and do not feel bit tired.

"He Is pretty handy" they said, "He will be all right before long; you don't want to tell him thing twice, and he is quite a sport too.

 Lord Norbury says he is to be just an ordinary workman, expecting and receiving no preferential treatment Asked If he would be able to live on his wages. he replied, "Ratheri I hope to save.

SHOULD RESTORE ORDER

The thing that Woodrow Wilson
said would justify the United States
intervening in Mexico has happened.
An American citizen has been assass-
mated by the Mexican people and for
no other reason in the world except
that anarchy and confusion reign
throughout Mexico. 1t is not the first
case of assassination, however, but
excuses have been offered as reason
why the United States has not taken
notice OF the other cases.
We do not know of any reason why
Mr.. McManus was killed by the Mex
leans except the fact that there is no
government down there to punish any
body for doing such things. If the
United States escapes liability to 9TH
err nations on account of its conduct
respecting Mexico it will be fortunate.
A day OF reckoning is liable to come
after conditions in Europe have
changed by which the United States
will be asked to explain it's connection
with the Mexican troubles. If such
is not the case, then it may be ex-
pected that the Monroe doctrine will
be overthrow by the other nations
going into Mexico in order to estab-
lish order and some form~of govern
ment.
We wonder how much more assass-
nation must be practiced by the
Mexicans before the United States
will take proper steps to restore or
der.

'ENeLAND's RETALlAToRY ACT.

TIE United States has something
to do if it can stand the affront offered
by England in its latest retaliatory
measure in which the order sets forth
that all trade with Germany is, for
hidden neutral nations, that isl the
United States Or any other neutral
nation shall not ship to Germany any
article of merchandise however free
from the charge OF being contrabar2
goods. In other words, that all com.
munication in the way OF trade be-
tween Germany and the world is to
he shut off. 1t means that the United
States shall be deprived of q market
because it suits the convenience OF
England in carrying on the war against
her enemy.
OF course the United States will
protest on paper, but that will prob
ably be as far as it Will go and the
whole country must submit TO the hui
initiating experience Of submitting to
England when she makes a claim and
no international law or custom justi-
.ties her conduct We believe in accord
ing to Great. Britain the same rights
that we have accorded to any other
nation. but when, in violation of all
law and precedent, she adopts a course
intended to restrain the rights and
privileges of the United States she
SHOULD be treated as she deserves to
be treated and should be made to ac-
count for every violation OF interna-
tional law that affects us as nation.

at was an interesting company"
says Miss Bobenhouse, "who listened
to my paper. On one side sat a Hindu
lady, clever woman who gives a
lecture every other week. This lady
spoke in Hindu, and at the close Of
my reading, emphasized the need of
education for women, and urged a ma

club was beautiful Parsee lady, who

This club is directed by some Scotch
lady missionaries; and has Lady Col

MANY causes have contributed to a
gradual change in the public attitude
toward the education of women. The
patient, unrecorded toll on the part of
women of missionaries, the growing
sensitiveness' of India to Western
opinion which discredits nation
whose women are illiterate, the desire
OF men for educated wives, the OBJ
vious convenience in household affairs
of the ability to read, write and keep
simple accounts, the general spirit OF
Christian ideal OF human relations,
and the strange spirit Of unrest now
abroad amongst women all over the
world, which seems to leave no land
untouched-all these have helped to
bring about this revolution

ceives Sis per month, not Il single
official of the company received any

company, each officer and stakeholder
paying the regular phone rental and
toll charges the same as-any subscrib-
err. Explaining more fully, he said
that the company realized that they
were not paying their operators
enough, but they were receiving sal
aries as large as the company could
afford to pay. Iinemen were paid
from $50 to $50 per month and the
bockkeeper $50. The total wages paid
company employees during the month
OF December was 1892, not including
cost Of repairs, material and other in
cidentnls. The preferred stock in the
company carries with it guarantee
CT 10 per cent dividends annually,
WNlle TIE cONlliLOn SlOch carTleS no
guarantee whatever. For the past five
years the common stock has not re-
ceiyed dividend and the dividend
on the preferred stock, while guaran-
teed, has not been paid for last year.
The company did not have the funds
ON hand to pay the dividend on the
preferred stock and while it is guar
anteed it was necessarily passed up.
Going into detail he said that during
the past fifteen years the total
amount of dividends paid was IS per
cent CT less than per cent on the
common stock for the fifteen years.
The company had only $4,000 in the
bank at the close of business last Fri
day afternoon.
Mr. Kuelnle believed that the aver
age American citizen wanted to do tho
right thing and he believed that the
farmers ~of Crawford county wished
to do so also. providing they were not
imposed upon and they wanted to pay
for what they received, providing they
received what they were paying for.
OF course the company has to con-
tend with the elements and at times
the service is not what it should be,
said Mr.. Kuehnle, but 1t is the aim Of
