on the possibilities of the attendance Of

In discussing the great benefit to the
trade relations between the United States
and South America of educating South
Americans in this country, Mrs. Jester
said: Il believe that through an educa-
ton received in this country, young
South Americans will return to their
homes as missionaries OF American
thought and ideals, and that they will
give an impetus to the movement for
closer financial relations between the two
continents.
Many European Educators Killed.
1T stands to reason that not within
the school life Of any children Of this
generation in South America will the
schools of Europe again be available.
The war means the practical extinction
of Europes active band of educators.
Where are these thousands Of pupils to

SPIES USED Dog TO
CARRY their NOTES
Wandered Into German Lines in
Northern France with Messages
from Other Side Of Lines.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Cardiff. Wales. July 3.-Wounded
Canadians in a hospital here tell Il
story as to how a nest Of spies was
discovered in Northern France.
Somewhere near the bullets and fir
ing line there stood a coffee house
inhabited by five persons, including a
boy. The troops en- route to the
trenches used to call there for re-
freshments, and the occupants conse-
quently had exceptional opportunities
of obtaining valuable information.
They witnessed the movements OF
hundreds of soldiers. and always had
a fairly sood idea of the strength OF
me forces holding the section of the
defenses in their immediate neigkbor-
hood.
Here the Germans seemed to be well
informed of what was going on in
front of them. For instance, q regi-
ment OF Canadians was one nigh,
moved unexpectedly to relieve the
Camerons The officers of the Scot
fish battalion, were not even aware
of the coming of the Colonials. yet nc
sooner had the latter settled down
than the Germans shouted across to
them:
"Ruilo, Canadians. come out and
fight
Naturally the coffee house was con-
t,nually suspected of being source
of German information. and, although
search after search was made nothing
suspicious was found. At length
however. a soldier lettering near the
place, overheard conversation in
Germany. and, thinking to catch the
occupants red-handed. he quickly gath
cred together a party of his comrades
and raided the place.
Strange, to say. nothing in the shape
of conclusive evidence was found. and
it was only when one of the soldiers
resorted to bluff that one Of the sus-
iected residents-the boy-revealed
the secret.
A dog had conveyed messages to
the German lines. The Canadians had
noticed the animal wandering about
the trenches, and they had often pet
led it, never suspectinE that when ii
was wandering into the enemy's tines
1t was carrying with II the spies
communications.
The messages, it transpired. had
been conveyed underneath a false
coating of fur which had been ingen-

STARTS FIGHT
TO KILL 'tPORK BARREL -
Secretary Wearies of Dice Shaking System Used by Con-
gressmen for Getting Public Building Spois-Treasury
Holds Up Purchase of 200 Sites.

1.-THE dice-shaking plan for providing
accommodations for postoffices through
out the country must be abandoned.
Such is the declaration of the Treasury
Department" says the New York Even
ing Post.
The fact that more than 200 authorize
tons by Congress for the purchase of
sites for public buildings are being held
up is proof that the department means
what it says. Every week and almost
every day brings to the national capital
a Senator or Representative demanding
information as to why the department
does not act on the Congressional au-
thorization and purchase building sites
in his State or district.
The seeker after light is turned over
to Byron r. Newton, assistant secretary,
in charge of public buildings, and the
inquirer invariably goes away well sup
piled with facts. He also goes home
pretty we'll convinced that the depart
ment does not intend to deviate from the
policy it has adopted.
"New-fnnEIed Notion"
The policy that is giving Senators and
Representatives so much concern was
adopted several months ago. but not
until recently did the legislators begin
to take it seriously. When the announce
mcnt that site authorization. would be
held up was first made the Senators and
Representatives said to their consti-
tuents: 1T is just a new-fangaed notion;
it will be abandoned in little while. The
Treasury Department can't buck the
Congress"
But when weeks and then months pass
ed without the department requiring
sites whose purchase had been authorized
the Congressman began to protest, and
the complaints have increased until they
are now one loud roar. But still the
department does not move, and more. il
does not intend to move. Secretary Nc
Adoo and his assistant, Mr.. Newton,
have made up their minds that the thing
to do is to bring about q deadlock that
will inevitably result in having the whole
Federal building situation exposed to
public view.
For decades the Congressman have
been shaking dice" for public build
ings. The results Of this dice shaking
have been embodied either once every
year or once every two years in a public
building bill commonly known as a pork
barrel bill. 1t has been shown time
and again that these bills were not
based on the actual needs Of the pos
tai service. but rather in the desire
of Congressman to please their con-
stituents.
OF course. it is only repeating an
old story to say that the country is
dotted with Federal buildings that
are not needed at all. while In the
large centers of population the facili-
ties for handling the mail are made
quate. The department has at last
taken the ground that money shall be
expended on buildings only where
there is a genuine need.
Many of the Congressman have been
trying to ascertain whether the DEPART

Hopes to Solve Problem.
Mrs. Jester hopes to solve a problem
that she believes has hampered the flow
of South American youth to American
institutions. namely. the problem of get

will be in the nature of series of lee

This would seem to mean that II the

been adopted, the department is ready
Tor it. In the meantime. the department
! is collecting da ia to be used in defense
of the action in refusing to act On the
two hundred authorizations in question.
Whether the Congress will seek to make
an issue with the department remains
to be seen.

Treasury side: You are right: but thi,

The rapid growth of the country COM

The department holds to the view that

that towns of from 1000 to 5000 non
