"why aren't they giving?", said
Judge N. c. Young. Fargo. state
director Of the American Red Cross,
in addressing a meeting Of district
chairmen in Fargo's monthly budget
campaign, called for the purpose OF
the devising ways and means to get
at the "slackers", in the Fargo Com
mercial club rooms at 8 o'clock
Thursday evening.
Il have tried to analyZe the sttua-
tion, and 1t seems to me that they
are so interested in the idea Of max
ing money that they have not time
| for giving. Many of them may be
saving their money for that time in
the future when they can 90 to Eu-
rope and see the places where terri

"Pestilence and famine are sweep
ing France and Belgium. War
always brings pestilence, and one Of
the great purposes Of the Red Cross
is to fight the disease and famine
that comes from war.
"It will be a disgrace to Fargo IL
this campaign is allowed to end
without at least $4,000 a month be-
ing subscribed for the. Red. Cross.
Single Out TightHads.
~. L. Stockwell, who followed
Judge Young, declared that the
"tfghtwads" should be singled out,
and prayed with a little.
IF there are any real tightwads
among u.s." said Mr.. Stockwell, they
should be singled out, and prayed
with a little, and il that don't do any
good, they should be cursed at.
Il have made several patriotic
talks lately, in which l have said
that those who are not for us are

Mr.. Stockwell quoted figures show

Red Cross is spent, addingthat mot

Educational Campaign.
Smith Stimmel urged an educa-

J meetings to arouse the Indifferent,

There is a way to get under any
mans skin, and believe such meet
ings would help the campaign.
Urges Greater Efforts.
J. p. Hardy, chairman of the Fargo
[ branch, which has charge of the
I campaign, urged efforts on the part
, of the district chairmen and work
ers.
Don't think because you have
spent several hours a day on the
campaign that you have done your
duty, said Mr.. Hardy. You haven't
done your duty until every home in
your district has been canvassed.
This campaign must net the Far
go branch $4,000 a month if Fargo
is to maintain her relative position

Lost Annually.
,tRy Associated Press.l

Washington, Sept. 21.-Specialists
in western wheat districts estimate
that twenty million bushels Of wheat
and proportionate quantities of 9TH
er cereals are annually wasted in
harvesting and threshing. The de-
pertinent of agriculture in a state
ment issued today urges farmers to
give special attention to the adjust
ntent of threshing machines and to
make certain that none Of the grain
is lost with the straw and chaff. Care
should also be taken TO harvest all
grain in the corners and on the edges
of fields, the department advises.
Attention il called to the fact that
one busheI of wheat will furnish
bread for one person for about Is
days.

Partition of Ireland
Thought Inevitable

London, May 10.-Although he is
one Of the signatories of manifesto
declaring against solution of the Home
Rule problem by the partition of Ire
land, the Rev. DIR. Walsh, Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, in a
letter to the Dublin newspapers indi-
Gates that he believes Ulster will be
allowed to vote itself out of the Home
Rule provisions
81 think it is my duty to write this, -
he says in his letter, although from
information which has just reached
me am fairly satisfied that the mis-
chief is already done and the country
practically sold.''
The anti-partition manifesto is
most remarkable, as it is signed by
eighteen Roman Catholic bishops,
three Protestant bishops and five
chairmen of County Councils and ap-
peals to, the people to protest against
any such step as that proposed in
the county option home rule measure.
The manifesto was at first thought
to have sounded the death kne1l of
partition, but the letter from Bishop
Walsh gives ground for the belief
that the Nationalist are ready to
yield.

Briton May Lose
His Afternoon Tea

London, May 10.-One of England S
most cherished institutions was men
aced yesterday with destruction in
the nationwide crisis over shortage
Of bread-stuffs. It is the afternoon
tea-not the beverage but the institu-
ton itself $3.50. >sNSSs.
Lord Devonport's declaration as
Food Controller that the one meatless
day week had been a. failure be-
cause of British tendency to replace
fresh food with breadstuffs and his
warning that rationing might be near
unless there was an immediate reduc-
ton in consumption Of bread and cake
brought about the crisis on the after
noon tea question.
From the Food Controllers Office
yesterday it was declared that if ev-
erybody in England ate two ounces
less of bread each day the food prob
lem would probably be solved. AT
least that amount of bread or cake is
consumed in England's fourth meal
every afternoon. Some bold spirits in
England have already been writing to
the Times suggesting abandonment
of tea, but the idea is revolutionary
London alone serves 100000 teas

ESPIONAGE UPON

BY MISSIONARIES.

Comprehensive
Spying.

Melbourne, Australia, May TO-
Germany's designs upon Australia as
part of her reputed comprehensive pol
icy of attaining command of the Per-
sian Gulf and control of the sea routes
converging upon the Suez Canal have
been revealed among certain striking
facts just made public by the fed
eral authorities. These revelations
deal with German espionage-chief1y
on the eve of the war.
AS northern West Australia is but
a few days by steam from southern
Asia and, of all the Australian states,
West Australia is the most thinly peo-
pied, it would appear that German
scheming and spying were directed
upon that part of the continent in
particular. An Intercepted detailed
report from q German missionary who
the northern part Of West Australia
is believed by Australian officials to
bear out this presumption.
The missionary is the Rev. Joseph
Bischofs, of the Pallotiner congrega-
ton, Limberg, Prussia. An organiza-
ton styled 1.-THE Society for the
Protection of Germans Abroad put
fifty questions to him. His answers

Mr.. Bischofs was asked If he could
furnish photographs, and correct

ton he replied, Perhaps, later"
According to information in pos
session of the Commonwealth De-
fence Department a German repre-
sentative in Australia remarked to an
Australian official some time before
the war broke out that the Common
wealth was making very little use of
the northwestern, part of Australia
and that it would serve admirably for
German settlement. The depart
ment officials are convinced that the
questions put to the Rev. Mr.. Biseh-
offs were with the Interior motive of
providing the German Government
with data about what it believed to be
a vulnerable part Of the Common
wealth. The Bischofs report was made
public. by the Australian authorities.
