now seems the situation has cleared.
1t appears that the Savage" di-

Korniloff, had no idea of their des-

casus cavalry recruited almost ex-

Kabardintsi and Ossetinians and con-

Almost all are Mohammedans and
among them are many princes. Some
are wholly uneducated. Their com
mander is General Bagration.

however, they must not be employed

Turks.
"After prolonged negotiations we

Examination of the already pub

What Record Shows.
Records at the State department
show that Minister Nelson Morris to
Sweden has reported that the Swed-

fore April 10, but that he had inquired
if the Swedish government would be
willing to assume charge of American
interests in Turkey in case of rup-
ture.
The Swedish governments agree

the United States to present them to
the foreign Office in Stockholm, or
to the Swedish legation in Constant

Regarding the forwarding of letters

Council of Defense Reports
Sufficient Seed Wheat
(From a Staff correspondent.)

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13.-(Special.)
Publicity given by the newspapers has
been responsible to great extent for
the bringing about of a condition re-
garding seed wheat which has en-
abled the State Council of Defense to
obtain sufficient wheat for seed to
cover the emergency, according to
Vice-Chairman Coupland of the de-
Tense board.
Offers are being received daily by
men who have wheat in their poses
sion offering to put in on the market
for seed purposes as low as $2.25 per
bushel. This will enable farmers to
get all the wheat they want. 1t will
be Nebraska seed, most of it coming
from the western part of the state
and quite little from the southeast
ern portion.

Pueblo, Colo.-Enough tetanus dock
Jaw germs to infect 1000 persons are
believed to have been distributed in
Pueblo and Pueblo county during the
past few days through the indiscrim-
mate sale Of court plasters by an old
man. The police, sheriff's office and
federal secret service agents are look
Ing for the old man, who was last
heard of at Swallows. twenty miles
from this city.
Otto Allen, a street car man, is re-
sponsible for the discovery Of the poi.
soned court plasters. His wife bought
one of the plasters from the old man
two days ago and when Allen returned
home at night she told him about the
purchase. Allen, who had read of
Kansas City case where three persons
are said to have died from lockjaw as
the result Of using infected court plas-
tiers, Immediately became suspicious.
He took the plaster to the police and
the city health department at once
began a chemical test of the adhesive
mixture on the cloth. The compound
was found to be literally alive with
tetanus germs and would no doubt
have infected and caused the death
OF any person who used the plaster.
AS soon as the result of the chem
ical test was finished, an alarm was
sent out warning all persons who had
purchased plasters from the old man
not to use them under any circum.
stances. but to send them to the police
department for analysis.
1t is estimated that the old man sold
at least 1000 plasters in the city OF
Pueblo and Pueblo county. The police
and sheriff's office suspect a German
plot in the sale of the poison-laden
court plasters, but whether the old
man who is selling them has knowl-
edge of the diabolical scheme or Is
merely an innocent tool of men higher
up has not been determined by the
officials who are investigating the
case.

EFFECT OF INSECTS ON WAR
Relationship Is Closer Than Most Peo-
Pile Realize, According to U. S.
Bureau of Entomology.

Entomology, that branch of zoology
which treats of insects. has much
closer relation to war problems than
most people realize, and the bureau OF
entomology has asked that pamphlets.
circulars. posters. leaflets, etc. pertain
ing to war phases of the field OF
science he sent to It's office In Wash
ington, so that they can be assembled
and classified for future reference, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Among the questions that properly
come under this head and have bear
ing on the war are those pertaining to
the attacks of insects on crops, the
prevention of mosquitoes. insects In
food and water. and so on. While
many publications will not possess ma
terinl of special scientific value, all
will at least have n historic interest.
