Cool Hatred

The same care which Germans lavish in
tracking new chemical TO its own almost
inaccessible home they use in destroying a
human life and beautiful or a sacred thing
They do nothing in hasty anger Through
the work that their hands have done there
shines the mind OF the race. As the old
builders used TO dent their mark into the
great stones of the cathedral, so the Germans
have left their signature on the wreckage
they have made. These things are not done

 Winter Months

Washington, October 13.-The extent of increases in the price of bread or decreases in the weight of loaves dur ing the four months from May 15 to September IS, is detailed in figures from 45 of the country's principal in- dustrial centers made public today by the bureau of labor statistics Bakers in reports to the bureau, gave as reasons the increased cost of mate rials and ingredients, especially flour Changes in prices and weights have been most numerous during the last two months which the figures cover

Bacon Writes President
 Bitter Letter in Reply
 to Charge in Speech

New York October 13.-Robert Bacon, who was a candidate for the republican nomination for United States senator from New York at the recent primary election, made public tonight copies of an "unopen letter. he has written to President Wilson, with caption saying that it is a reply ITO an attack upon him by President Wilson in the course of his speech at Shadow Lawn last Sat urday."
 The letter in part says:
 ''The statement that it was my intention if elected senator to promote the inter- ests of one side in the present war Tn Europe and thereby violate my oath of office, is beneath contempt. My respect for the office of President of the United States prevents me from chara acterizing such statement as it deserves. leave my judgment of it's falsty to the public Anyone who knows of me at all must kno wthat for the last 10 years my life has been devoted to the cause of better international relations and the peaceful settlement of international disputes"

Playing Hookie" From
 School Cost "Uncle Sam"
 $7,200, 100000 Last Year

Washington, October 13.-(Special.) ) The interior department, as a result of figures compiled by it's corps of statis- ticians, presents today a bill against the school children of America amount ing to 7,20o,000,o00.
 Uncle Sam, it is argued, was put to that expense because during the 160 school days of the last school year, many boys and girls stayed at home for various reasons-good and bad.
 The remarkable statement of the de- partment is based on the computation that each day boy or girl spends in school benefits him in the sum of $9. He loses in that. sum the day he plays hookie
 At the end of the school term, the government figures boy or girl worth to himself and to the country S1440 more than he was worth the preceding term.

Uncle Sam in Guatemala

5. F. Allison, in World Outlook for De-
 tober.
 One woluld suppose, after reading in the papers how European merchants have run away with all the Spanish American trade, that the American mer- chant in Guatemala would be almost as uncommon as the polar bear. It may, therefore, come as a surprise to know that the United States leads in both the import and export trade of Guate- mala. We are the sole source of their supply for lumber, flour, coal, petro- leum. and we furnish more than nine- teIths of their railroad materials.
 The bulk of our purchases from Guate- mala now are bananas and lumber. If we only realized it we might be pur- chasing there a great many other things as well. For example, the Guatemala coffee. It won the highest award at the San Francisco exposition and is ca gerly bought by Germany and England. In fact, coffee from certain districts and fincas of Guatemala is so valuable that it Is sold with a sworn legal statement relative to the place of its production.
 Yet for many years we have sailed right by Guatemala to bring our coffee from Brazil and other lands at least three or four times as far away.
 One has only to visit the properties of the American United Fruit company to realize that Americans have shown more enterprise with reference to the trade of Central America than that for which they sometimes receive credit. The At lantic coastal plains of Guatemala were covered 10 years ago with dense, wild. riotous tangle of tropical jungle This has alreardy given way to 35,0O0 acres of banana farms. In what was formerly the dreaded fever stricken tierra caliente, now hundreds and thousands of men are working for wages paid in good Amer ican gold. The development of the banana industry has involved the building ot over 60 miles of railways and more than twice as many miles of tramways over which the fruit is carried to the loading points. The United Fruit company has completely transformed Puerto Barrios the port of Guatemala Docks, concrete warehouses, ice plants, telephone sys tenn, efficient loading machinery ant mosquito proof houses all testify to the quality of Yankee enterprise.
 A few years ago this port was guar antined for about half of each year or

border, the paper features an interview with Mexican advocate from Casas Grandes who describes the peace and prosperity in that district and the spirit of cooperation between the American and Mexican troops. He said there were no longer any complaints against the conduct of the Americans, who fur n.shed food and work to many Mex jeans in road making and who asked permission of the nearest Carranza officers to conduct scouting move ments. Suspected bandits taken by the Americans were now turned over to the Mexican commandants, the article said.
 Fl Democrata also said that there was every indication that the Ameri- cans were prepared to withdraw at any time.

 The American courier finds it his hardest task to be discreet and not to discuss in one country what is goins on in another. Not that he isn't put under temptation, for he is. When he comes home from Germany everyone wants to know if Germany is really starving and he is constantly asked for information. In Germany the Ger maas want totknow how much of Lon don the Hepps have left standing and if the country is in the panic the Ger man newspapers say it is.

London. September 2-The only link that exists between England and Ger manv cut off and guarded against one another as they are, is American. On Wednesday of every week an American courier, laden with huge dlp- lomatic pouches, leaves London Tor Berlin. where he arrives the next night Similarly another courier, also Amer ican, leaves Berlin for London. These two are the only persons in the world who are permitted to make regular tr;ps between the two enemy nations. They are personally well known to the authorities on the German fron- tier. those is Holland and to the port officials of England and their passage is facilitate.
 BERLIN TO CONSTANTINOPLE
 There is another American courier service, fortnightly. which runs from Berlin to Vienna and thence to Ser via, Bulgaria and Constantinople. There is now d great Russian army advancing across Rumania toward Bulgaria In Saloniki there is large allied army ready shortly to advance into Bulgaria from the south The ob- ject of both these armies will be to cut the railway line which leads from  Austria through Bulgaria to Turkey If this project succeeds Turkey will be cut off from her central power al lies and, in the opinion of the experts of the allies. that will be the finish of Turkey for evermore.
 Then, too, will an American embassy and an American legation be complete ly out of touch with Washington. Not since Boxer times in China, when siege was laid to the legation quarter in Peking, has an American minister been out of communication, except temper arily now and again. with his govern ment in Washington. Diplomats agree that the prospect is not so dreadful foi tho diplomats at Sofia and Constan- tinople and most members of the Amer ican service would enjoy respite o1 this sort.
