MAKEPAPEROF
 COTTON STALKS
Germany Believes its Discovery of Vast Importance to the U. s.
 Would Help Farmers.

Berlin, Aug. 7.-The royal material testing office at Gross-Lichterfelde, a suburb of Berlin, announces the dis covery that paper can be manufactur- ed from cotton stalks.
 The discovery is not considered ot much importance for Germany, which produces no cotton, but it is believe, it will be of vast importance to the United States, the greatest producer of cotton in the world, because of the shortage of paper in that country.
 The discovery was made by Ger man institution while carrying out a commission from an Egyptian firm, given before the war A shipment of stalks, which had arrived from Egypt before the opening of hostilities, was used for the experiment.
 The stalks were cut and ground, boil ed and bleached and the paper making then proceeded after the usual meth ods. The result caused the testing of- flee to arrive at the decision that cot ton stalks are a good material for making paper.

SPIES ACTIVE AT PANAMA CANAL
Japanese Especially Suspected-Dras-
 tic Action to be Asked.

Washington, Aug 5-Activities of persons suspected of being spies, en- ployed by foreign governments to ac- quire information regarding the de- lenses of the Panama canal have made the administration decide to request Congress to supplement the laws against the improper acquisition of knowledge of military and naval plans and Notifications.
 Several of the military powers of the world are believed to have undertaken to obtain information as to the canal defenses. The latest incident to- ex- cite suspicion is the operation of a little Japanese power vessel, ostensib- ly, fishing launch, which sought to obtain a permit for pearl fishing in the waters of Panama bay and vicinity The canal authorities have been warn- ed that this craft appeared to have been making surveys.
 Representatives of the Depa rtment of Justice and the War and Navy De- partments have been in conference and it is expected that they will agree up- on drastic legislation to be submitted to Congress. It is possible that the scope of the conference may be ex- tended beyond the original ideas cf a mere protection of the secrets of Am erican coast defenses, 10 cover gen erally such attempts as have been common since the beginning of the present war to destroy powder and ammunition plants, upon which the United States government must rely in time of trouble
