more knitted sweaters, socks and wrist
let's for the soldiers and sailors was is
sued tonight by the Red Cross War
Council in a statement disclosing that
the Red Cross has been obliged to buy
half a million machine-made sweaters
to meet immediate demands.
at is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wristlets and socks that can
possibly be made by tho women of the
country should be turned in TO the
supply department at the earliest pos
sible date. With the cold Weather com
ing on, the demand for sweaters. espe-
cially. has been beyond the capacity Of
all our resources to supply.
"The resuests Of our organization IN
France for sweaters and knitted goods
have had TO remain unsatished on &C
count Of our inability TO secure enough
for men in our own army and navy.
We call upon the won en- to give US
their very best effort from now until

to furnish our men with these COM
forts and have some TO spare for the

Holden Predicts Pool
OfAmerican X. K. Energy;
Urges Help for War Board

Permanent pooling of the nations
entire railroad resources, such as al
,eadv has been worked out by the Rail

Hale Holden, president of the Chicago,
burlington e. Quincy Railroad and
member Of the Railroad War Board.
MIR. Holden made the prediction.
which is considered a radical trust
proposal By many Of his as ociates, at
the annual banquet Of the National In
dustrial Traffic League, at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel. He cited figures TO prove
that the roads had cut down empty car
waste TO the minimum and had IN
creased their capacity by 20 per cent
through the operation Of the presen-
arrangement
"The pooling of equipment through
ont the country, with the power whlc
has been so broadly exercised, has re-
sul.od in the moving of approximately
100 900 empty cars from one part OF
tho country 10 az other TO relieve short
age distress" he said.
Mr.. Holden told how this arrange
ment had made II possible for the
railroads TO haul the tremendously IN
creesed quantities of food and other
provisions necessary to supply the sew
entv-two new towns and cities that had
been organized almost overnight by the
War Department as camps and canton
ments.
Judge c. F. Moore and Guy NJ. Freer.
president Of the organization, were the
other speakers of the evening. Both
men strongly irdorsed the work Of the

White Slavers Named
In Paterson Mystery
Accused Slayer Declares Two
Strangers Killed His
Brother-in-Law

PATERSON. n. j., Nov. 15.-To the
mystery Of the headless body Of Ste
phen Casa, Manuel Catalone, under ar
rest charged with the murder. added a
g-isly story to-day, which the police
suspect may have the germ Of truth in
II, although its incredibility makes
them doubtful even Of that.
This is the story:
He and his brother-in-law, Casa, on
October 81 met two strangers. evident
ly fellow cOuntrymen. The two well
dressed strangers fell into converse
tion with the humber pair and de-
clared tina. their wives made Casa and
Catalone the envy Of all VINO were not
blind. Although CatalOne said he and
Casa repuised suggestion that Mrs.
Casa and Mrs. Catalone be sold into
slavery or exploited on a commission
basis. this conversational obstacle
failed TO disrupt the friendship.
Catalone suggested that they 90 TO
his home and continue their discourse
over wine and cigars, and this was
done. So engrossed was Catalone that
he forgot an errand at the butcher
shop until almost dinner time. He ex-
cused himself and departed.
When ne returned the strangers We're
seated az the table as before. but Casa
lay on the floor. his skull smashed
with an axe. Cataloue declared that
the assertion Of one Of the murder
ers, that Catalone would be the first
to hang if he opened his mouth, ST.
fenced him. He took 500 and two pay
checks which had been Casa's.
The body they hid in the bathroom.
Mrs. Catslone returned and was intro
duced. Later Mrs. Catalone went TO
see her sister. and Catalone went to
bed, after suggesting that his brother
in-law's body be flung into the Passaic
River. The strangers carried IL away
late in the evening, he said, the head
still on the shoulders.
That was the last he knew Of the
adventure. although his kindness had
impelled him 10 allay Mrs. Casa's fears
with a story that her husband had
gone to Pennsylvania and TO give her
sll of the $50 and the two pay checks.

u. S. Ban on Paper
Feared by Dewey

John Dewey, editor Of 1.-THE Gaelic
American" has returned to his attack
on Chief William J. Flynn in the latest
issue Of his paper. Both Dewey and
"The Gaelic-American' have been un-
de- investigation by Federal officials
for some time.
Dewey fears that the government is
going to suppress his paper. He gave
expression to this fear in an editorial
in Yesterdays issue. In another edi-
torial he intimated that there is a
likelihood of the arrest of some Of the
Sim Feiners in this country.
Both editorials and news articles in
the "Gaelic-American" anticipate some
sort Of action by the Federal author
tiles. The Federal Grand jury which
has been investigating some Of the
pro-German editors Of this city. to-
gether with their newspapers. is be-
iieved to have nearly completed its
work.
The attack on the Secret Service and
its chief in this weeks issue of the
"Gaelic-American" follows the lines Of
the two previous attacks, except that
II is somewhat more mild.

NEW STANDARDS FOR WHEAT
BECOME EFFECTIVE
JULY 4. 1917.

Your attention is called to the
tact that the official grain stan
dards of the United States for
hard red winter wheat, soft red
winter wheat. common white
wheat and white club wheat be-
come effective on July 4, 1917,
and the standards for all other
wheat on August 1, 1917.
On and after these dates. re-
spcctively, the grading all wheat
which is sold, Offered for sale or
consigned for sale by grade and
shipped in interstate or foreign
commerce must be according to
these standards.
That the grain trade should
have an intimate knowledge of the
new standards for wheat is of the
utmost Importance. This is espe-
cially true With respect to the
classification of wheat under the
new standards. The new c1assl-
fication involves many changes
from all classifications heretofore
in use: for example, the trade
should know that soft Red
wheat after July will be Soft
Red Winter wheat, which con-
tains garlic or wild onion bulb
lets or has an unmistaEable odor
of garlic or wild onions. This is
but one of the several important
changes which will be found un-
der the new standards. 1t points
out to the trade the urgent need
fof thorough knowledge of the
new standards.
II is the opinion of this office
that the official grain standards
lof the United States for wheat
Twill not become effective for any
lof the purposes of section 4 of
tho Act until July for certain
CLASSES, and August for the re-
naming classes, of wheat, as set
forth i'm Service and Regulatory
Announcements No. %. There
fore. it is believed that no person
is required either to have his
wheat inspected or to transact
business according to those STAN
Idards prior to the respective eff
fcctive dates: and that if, prior
to the effective date, any person
secs fiji to purchase wheat accord.
ling to standards other than the
Iofiicial grain standards of the
United States, his contract may,
| if it SO provide, be fulfilled by
shipment after the effective date
without compliance with the pro-
| visions of section 4 of the Act.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY OFFICERS
COMING.

NatlOnal Of1lcerS oil the Lincoln
highway will visit Council Bluffs
the first week in July, Inspecting
the highway across the continent.
They are expected to devote lit
tie extra time to the examination
of the highway across Iowa for
the reason that there has been a
good deal of laXity in the effort
to enable State Consul Coad to
make good his pledge that the
greater part of the road across
the state would be gravclcd and
all improved by 1919. Only in the
central and eastern part of the
state has there been any consid-
cradle amount of work done.
The highway officers will start
from the Atlantic coast and trav-
erse the highway to the Pacific.
They are expected to spend some
time in Council Bluffs, for the
reason that Pottawattamic coun-
ty is one Of the worst derclicts
along the line i'm Iowa.
The Lincoln highway has re-
ceived no more attention than
any other county road. The visit
of the head officers may empha-
size the danger of this apathy,
causing the route OF the highway
to be changed. The officers have
the power relocate it, and il may
go via Kansas City and be lost to
the state entirely, and taken from
Council Bluffs and Omaha. A
better and shorter route is avail
able via Blair, crossing the Mis-
souri, river there and reaching
Fremont without touching Oma-
ha.
The indifference lies with the
Pottawattamie county officials of
Council Bluffs. Omaha has done
its part. There are more than
seven miles of paved roadway in
Council Bluffs and twice as much
in Omaha, making the longest
stretch of street paving on the
western part Of the line, but un-
less the county authorities do
their part, there is grave danger,
according to Consul Coad of los
ing the highway.
The highway must be graded
