GERMANS ACCUSED
 OF MEXICAN PLOT
Reported to Have Egged on Car
 ranza Against J. s.

Washington, June 23.-The German Minister at Mexico City and the Ger man Vice Consul at Vera Cruz havo been encouraging Carranza and his government in their attitude of deter mined opposition to the United States, according to inform ation reaching Washington through reliable chan nels from the Mexican capital. While this may be a matter difficult to prove it was learned that this charge is be- ing made by persons now in Mexico City. The matter has not been brought to the attention of the United States government in any official way, but has reached Washington in the form of trustworthy report.
 The activity of the German diplo- matic and consular authorities in Mexico is believed to have an impor- tant bearing upon the crisis now ex- isting between this country and Mex ico. As result of the German pro- paganda in Mexico, which is believed to have been responsible to an inn portant extent for the determined at titude of General Carranza in de- manding the immediate withdrawal of the Am merican forces, the nationals of Germany in Mexico enjoy a wholly different status from those of most other nations. It is now known that Germans in Mexico are being treated with very great consideration by Car ranza authorities and are not being m olested. So marked is the protec- tion afforded Germans that a mum Der of American leaving Mexico in the present crisis are arranging to turn

PLENTY OF GRAIN ON
 HAND IN GERMANY
Unfair Distribution Of Food Chief
 Problem, Says BatoCki

Berlin, June 23, Via London.- Germany to carry the country over until the harvests, declared Adolph von Batocki, president of the Food Regulation board, in an address at Duesseldorf. The potato situation was more unfavorable, he said, and would be especially difficult during the next fortnight, but the deficit could be met by arranging for in | creased bread rations for physical 1aborers. The potato situation in Western Germany had been made worse by Hollands prohibition upon exports due to the agitation there which Herr von Batocki said, was probably induced by British money
 Especial attention was being given to hard workers in the industrial sections, where 1egumes, greats, and bacon had been distributed in large quantities, continued the food direc- tor, who added that an effort would be made to secure better distribu- tion of butter.
 Herr von Batocki said it had been proposed to prohibit meat consump- ton for two months, but that this vas impractica ble, unless a. better dis tIbution Of the supply of fats could be effectuated. If that could eventu- ally be done the proposal could be considered.
 The control of breadstuffs during the coming year would be unchanged, said the speaker, except that four dS uniform grade would be intro duced. An effort would be made in the autumn to regulate the whole rs- +o4> ic icyIf result in reducing the number of swine available, but that, he said, must be accepted as a part of the ssaFgain.
 s.In general, added Herr von Ba- tockf, an effort would be made, based on the experience of the last two years, to insure the more accurate establishing of amounts of food on hand, sharper control, and the most equitable possible distribution.
 Tn the first of a series of open let ters which Herr von Batocki intends to write for the press treating on the work of his department he deals w1tk taking stock of foodstuffs and the question of private stocks in house. holds. Experience, he says, has not justified the assertions that a census will be taken as soon as prepara- fions can be completed, and the process will be repeated from time to time. There is no intention, however, writes the food director, of confisca- ting all stocks thus found. The criterion will be whether the amount Possessed by any household is a pro- per quantity for the use of the family. If there is no undue retention of perishab1e foodstuffs and no suspicion
 
 Lf the household, for speculative pur- poses, the stocks will not be con- f1scated.
 Herr von Batocki points out that farmers living miles from stores and markets naturally must lay by larger supplies than residents of urban dis trlcts

PREPAREDNESS AS

Much Sentiment Sincere, Most of It S
 Superficial and Hysterical Says
 Rear Admiral.

Newport, R. l., June 23.-Many off, cers from the Atlantic fleet and rom the Narrangansett Bay naval and army stations attended the graduation exercises of the naval war college today. Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight, president of the college, pre- sented diplomas to seventeen officers.
 Tn the course of an address on the work of the college Rear Admiral !, Knight incidentally touched on pre- paredness.
 Much of the sentiment on this subject" he said, '1s undoubtedly deep-seated and sincere, but much of it also, I am convinced is superficial and more or less hysterical. And some of it is distinctly selfish.
 "A love of country which needs a supreme crisis to bring it to the sur

FOREIGN POWERS ON WATCH
Al Governments Find II Hard Work
to Guard Secrets Of a Mill
tary Nature.

The protection of government Sc
crets has always required the greatest
vigilance. Each nation is inquisitive
as to what every other country is ac-
complishing in inventing new appli-
ances for war purposes. The construc-
tion Of warships, for example, calls
for much secrecy. Neutral powers
must guard we'll their naval secrets.
Offenders against the neutral policy
of a country should also bear in mind
the severe punishment in store for
them, for discovery is certain sooner
or later.
Many government secrets do leak
out in every country. This is owing
to the lure of gold and to the activity
of unknown secret agents. The United
States, in common with other nations,
has its secret service, and perhaps it
is as successful as any other similar
agency.
American inventors should not make
public certain inventions without first
Offering them to the government. In
that way they could be kept secret.
Scientific means for the protection
Of a country have not been exhausted,
indeed, they are only just beginning
to be used. Present naval secrets Of
neutral powers may prove Of slight
importance compared with the posi-
BILE methods of warfare in the future.
These new methods devised here
should be solely at the disposal Of
the United States, and unknown un-
til it is necessary to use them.-Bos-
ton Globe.

Uses Of the sunfIower.

The sunflower is cultivated to a con.
siderable extent in central Russia,
where every part of the plant is put
to certain economic uses The dis
covery of the extreme lightness of the
pith of the stalk has essentially in
creased the commercial value of the
plant This light cellular substance
is now carefully removed from the
stalk and applied to a good many i'm
portant uses. One Of its chief uses
is the making Of the life-savlng appli-
ances.
Cork with a buoyancy of one to five,
and RENDERS hair with one to ten,
has been used; the pith of the sun
flower has a buoyancy of one to thir-
ty-five. The latter can be used ad-
vantageously In the construction of
boats and life preservers. A suffi-
cient quantity can be worn on a per-
son without any inconvenience. The
pith OF the larger sunfower stalks is
used extensively as a substitute for
other materials formerly employed in
making moxas for cauterizing pup
poses.

HOME NO PLACE FOR POISON
Frequency Of Accidents Should I'm.
press That Fact on All-National
Law Seems Needed.

United States public health reports
recalls attention to the fact that such
a large number of deaths take place
every year in this country from the
unintentional use of poison that 1t
would evidently be a very good thing
IL people generally could be persuaded
never to keep poisons in the home, the
New York Herald states. The advan-
tages to be derived from them are new
er quite equal to their dangers.
Deaths from bichloride of mercury,
carbolic acid and other such sub
stances continue to occur with sad
frequency. No amount of warning will
protect against inadvertance or fgnor-
ance, and fatal accidents from the mis-
taking of a dangerously potent drug
for one that is comparatively inert
have become staple, often reiterated
items of news in recent years.
In the present rather confused state
of our laws with regard to poisons in
this country, due to the fact that
each of the states makes it's own legis-
lation in this matter, it is probable
that until an efficient national law
can be enacted a definite crusade Of
persuasion against the dangerous
practice of keeping poisons for any
reason in the home would serve to
save many lives every year. 1t is a
simple matter, yet Of very great i'm
portance to the community. The au-
thority of the United States public
health service should literally bring
it home to many.
