EXPOSE OF GERMAN INTRIGUE
MADE BY LANSING.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Secre-
tary Lansing Friday made public, as
an astounding addition to the series
OF disclosures covering German in
tr1gues in America and elsewhere,
message sent by Count Won Berns-
torff, former ambassador of Germany,
In January, of this year, to the Ber-
lin foreign office, requesting au-
thority to pay out $4,000 to influ-
ence Congress through an unnamed
organization, apparently known to
the Berlin authorities. Count Won
Bernstorff indicated in his message
that money had been paid this organ
lzatiOn on former occasions to per-
form the same work. The text of the
message, made public without COM
ment, follows:
request authority to pay out up to
$4,000 (fifty thousand dollars) in
order, as on former occasions, to in
f1uence Congress, through the organi-
zation you know of, which can per-
haps prevent war. I am beginning
in the meantime to act accordingly.
In the above circumstances a public
official German declaration in favor
VI 1Iclduu Is highly U0SlTdD10,r III OT-
der to gain the support of Irish influ-
ence here"
The text of the message is given
out, without comment, in the same
manner as were the messages of
Count Luxburg, German minister to
Argentina, which have disrupted re-
lation between Argentina and Ger
many, and the letter of German
Minister Won Eckhardt in Mexico
City, recently made public.
1t is believed that the State de-
partment knows the name of the
Organization" through which the
German government operated in its
attempts to influence Congress. 1t
has been suggested that the Organ
=ization" possibly was one of the So
called peace societies active at that
time.
The extraordinary disclosures al
ready made have caused the belief
that agents of the United States
Government have collected and COM
piled the entire story of German du-
plicity and intrigue and that addi-
tiOnal chapters will be added.

RED CROSS SEAL SALE TO BE VIC
OROUS,

The sale of Red Cross Seals will
open November Goth this year when
a campaign to raise $3,000,000 for
the anti-tuberculosis movement in the
UnitedlStates will be launched. Four
hundred millions of seals have been
printed and 100, 100000 more are be-
ing prepared. They are very attrac-
tive this year and it is expected that
they will be more popular than ever,
as the money is to provide facilities
for the care of the thousands Of
cases of tuberculosis that the examin-
alton of the 100000 men subject
to draft will disclose, as well as to
educate the general public and the
consumptives themselves relative to
the danger of the spread Of the dis
ease. The funds will be administered
through the State and local anti-tu-
berculosis associations, in co-opera-
ton with the military department of
the, National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, which also plans to raise a special
war fund in each State to care for the
wants of discharged re-
cruits and soldiers. The machinery
for handling the sale of the red
crosses is more complete than ever
this year with the aid of the $500
agencies, including
State and local, there is every reason
to believe that more than the contem-
plated 100000 will be raised The

we shall profit by the fatal mistake
of France and others of the allies

if people troubled wit hcorns will
follow the simple advice of this Gin
cinnati authority, who claims that a
few drops of drug called Freezone
when applied to tender, aching
corn or hardened callous dries UP
and lifts right off without pain.
He says Freezone dries immediate
ly and never inflames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of Freezone will cost very lit

lively remove every hard or soft corn
or callous from ones feet. Millions
of American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inaugural

druggist doesn't have Freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you.

FOR YOUR SCRAP BOOK.
THE HEART.

- THE HEART.
It isn't the money you make,
1t isn't the work that you do,
You can prosper and still be fake,
You can lie, and be brilliant, too,
And vain are the glory and fame
That shall come from a conquering
Tight,
None shall joyfully mention your
. name -
If your heart isn't right.
For the final result of a life
Isn't what did it do that was great /;
Not, was it supreme in its strife?
Did it master the demon of fate
But what did it do that was kind?
Was it fair, although armored by
might?
Did it leave gentle memories behind
Was the soul of it right?
Men are praised not so much for their
skill
AS they are for the good that they
do;
Fame and glory life will not fill,
For mans wonderful conquests are
few.
And the money you make and the
fame
Will vanish with you in the night,
And few will remember your name
If your heart isn't right.

 The number of the, Americans as yet unregistered is comparatively small, as the eligible men have shown themselves anxious to enroll. Total number of eligi- bles is relatively uninportant, as most of the men here are over age. Those not eligible are disappointed at not being permitted to register.

Coal Mine Operators Near
 Haleyville Not Disturbed

Haleyville, August 4.-( l.)--Notices have been received by those drafted in the first draft from Winston county to appear before the board at Double springs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Physicians from Haleyville have been impressed into service to aid Dr. Blake, county health officer, in ex- amining those drawn It is estimated that less than 20 per cent of those drawn will be accepted for service, as fully 80 per cent are married or have dependent rela- lives.
 Coal operators in the vicinity of Ha- leyyille expect no inconveniences from the action of the miners union in Birming- ham this week. All of the mines in this county are already paying more than the scale of wages usually paid in Alabama coal fields. They are offering no objec- tions to their men affiliating with labor organizations.
 The high altitude and cool weather pre- vailing here have attracted quite a few visitors to Haleyville this year. The doc tors claim that Haleyville and surround ing territory have the healthest climate in the state.
 Steps are being taken to organize a potato club in the territory surrounding Haleyville next year. Experienced farm CTS say that the soil and climate here are ideal for the growth of potatoes.
 w. c. Roberts, superintendent of the Haleyville Oil and Fertilizer company, and an amateur farmer, has just taken 5 bushels of potatoes from one-f1fth of an acre of measured ground in the city linn its of Haleyville. The potatoes weighed 3300 pounds and were grown at a cost of 271a cents per bushel
