D CROSS SEAL FUNDS
 NOT FOR WAR RELIEF.
American Red Cross Director Urges Fund For Tuberculosis Prevention.

None of the proceeds from the sale of
 led Cross Christmas Seals, which are .leing sold widely throughout the Unit ed States for the benefit of the anti 'ubeyulosis movement, will be used 'or any relief purposes, according to a statement by Ernest F. Bicknell, Ma tional Director of the American Red Cross.
 MT. Bicknen says: "The American Red Cross is deeply appreciative of the sympathetic interest which has inspired che suggestion from various parts of the United States that certain per .entage of the Red Cross Seal Sales Fund. which has been used for the last seven years exclusively for the preven- rion and treatment of tuberculosis in he United States, be expended this fear to aid the European war suffer- CTS. While the Red Cross is desirous of securing contributions which will in- crease this war relief fund. we do not eel justified in adopting any policy which will tend to cripple the tubercu- osis work in this country. dependent ,s it is for support to so large an ex- tent on the sale of Red Cross Christ mas Seals. The announcement that a percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon- ey would go to our war relief fund might possibly increase the sale; but, in our opinion, the final results would show distinct loss in that part of the proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
 At the present time there are over 1.2oO anti-tuberculosis societies distrib- uted through nearly every state in the Union and even in Porto Rico, the Canal Zone and far off Hawaii, which ire dependent almost entirely upon the receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale for their work during the year 1916. The people of the United States must sup port this local war against tuberculo- sis. which annually kills 100000 people md at the present time is leaving a trail of a million wounded.

Whiskey Business Gets a Serious Jolt in Memphis

| Judge Mccall of the U. $. Cir
 cult Court in Memphis on yester-
 day made a ruling which is the
 most serious blow that has ever
 been given the liquor business by the Federal Government. Since Tennessee became dry
 state the whiskey sellers have embarked in the wholesale 'out of state" mail order business,
 hiding behind the protection given them by the U. s. Inter- state Commerce laws and many of these are former Arkansas whiskey sellers, and they have already begun to do heavy shipping business to their form CT customers in Arkansas.
 Judge McCalls ruling puts lem out of business. Selling in transit by reconsignments from local jobbers is effectually barred as being unlawful, and under the Webb-Kengon and Wilson bill Judge Mccall makes a rui- ing which is dead sure to prove the most serious blow the whiskey sellers have had in many a day.
 Let the good work go on.

 We cordially invite the public to attend the preaching services, and promise you that we will deal with matters in each ser mon that is of vital interest to you. We do not expect to please all--in fact we are not preaching to please men. Christ himself failed to do that, and we are not fool enough to try it. We are trying to offer salvation to the lost, and to condemn SIN. We have no apology to offer for any thing we have preached, but have much more that you ought to hear. Don't hang around and try to get what the preachers say secondhand Come to church like man and hear it straight; if it is the truth, stand by them; if it hits your sin, then take it like man and quit your mean ness" Don't try to muzzle the preacher, for it won't work. The preachers want to help Brinkley, and if they can get the co operation of the citizens it can be done. We shall always give you a warm and cordial welcome COME.

forts to purchase the Krag -Jorgen-
sen rifles which had been used and
then condemned by the United States
government Is an instance in point.
Despite the announcement of Presi-
dent Wilson that these rifles were not
for sale during the European war,
scores of agents tried to buy them.
scores represented to purchasing
agents for the warning powers that
they could get them. out of this
struggle grew a rumor that certain
government officials in return for a
bride would see to 1t that the rifles
were struggled out OF the armories
and handed over to a buyer.
Trap Laid for Sellers.
Accordingly, German agent who
thought he would be of assistance to
his government by proving the cor
ruption in high places, started out on
a scheme to lay a trap for the SELL
ers. Many meetings, offers and coun-
ter demands followed with the result
that the would-be buyer finally met
a man who said You deposit &c.,
100000 in the bank as proof that you
can command the money and ! prom
Use YOU that you can dance so and SOS
granddaughter on your knee. That's
how close | am to the powers that be"
The would be buyer did not deposit
the money and the fact was that the
man with whom he was dealing was
an agent of another power who simply
was leading the German on to ascer-
tain who he was, what he was doing
and what the Germans were doing in
this country
The Germans have not hesitated to
use women, either. as enthusiastic
workers in the Teuton cause or as
innocent persons who were duped into
furnishing facts unwittingly for the
help of the Germans one of the clev-
crest spies employed by the Germans
posed as a French countess. The
lady suddenly came into prominence
on the Pacific coast, where she was
introduced to men and women of dis
tinction in this country. She was
clever, a brilliant conversationalist
dainty and aristocratic in appearance
She made an impression on the wives
of manufacturers of war materials
and soon was invited to many homes
throughout the country. She mani
tested a keen interest in the enter
prises of the manufacturers and was
invited TO visit the plants. Deity, she
obtained a vast amount of informa-
ton concerning the contracts that had
been received from the allies and
" hen deliveries were to be made.
There are hundreds Of other ways
by which the German agents gath
cred information Enough has been
told as to that. The information came
from thousands of sources and was
received in both New York and Wash
ington. where 1t was sifted, analyzed
and assembled. What was regarded
as valuable to the war staff in Ger
many was sent there by couriers who
made their way to Germany under
the guise of Americans or citizens of
other neutral nations. What was
needed for the information of agents
in this country ready to do destructive
work was sent to the point where 1t
would do the most good. Where in
complete information was received ar
engagements were made Immediately to
complete it.
How the great network for gather
ing information in this country was
used for destructive work that would
be of help to the Germans and a hind
rance to the allies will be told next
week.

WARDS SuTTLE JOKE PUTS COMMISSION
 IN BEST 0F HUM0R
Lot of Routine Business Transacted Without Any Member Making Ex-
 tended Speech

Mayor Commissioner George B. Ward opened the Tuesday conference yester- day with the following statement:
 "The Age-Herald carries the statement that all of you fellows are in a bellicose mood this morning and have speeches up your sleeves. Well, just want to state that we should attend to the citys busi- ness first and then you can crate at will" This statement by MT. Ward at once relieved somewhat tense situation and for the remainder of the meeting laugh ter prevailed, and even Commissioner Barber repeated one of T. H. Motion s jokes, which melted Commissioner James Weatherly to tell few tales. which made the gathering of the city commission ap- pear like meeting of good fellows. How ever, despite the joke-telling and the wit ticisms, the commission transacted quite a little routine business and managed to adjourn the conference by 12:3O o'clock in the afternoon. The afternoon session was also very brief.
 Toward the last of the morning session Commissioner Barber, after praising the weather, and everyone of his depart
 
 he was speedily cut off by Mr. Ward, who said:

 ''Go ahead" said Mr. Barber.
 Mir. Ward then seized upon an ancient piece of manuscript, which bore the date of 1891, and read the following para graphs, which appeared like rank plagiar- ism on the oratorical efforts of MT. Bar Der:
