ALLEGES UNITED STATES
SUGGESTED REAL PLOT
An Argentine newspaper short
while ago really revealed n plot when
II told that the United States last year
suggested to other American republics
common action against Germany and
hcr allies. This plot apparently was
not conditional in the least. The news.
as published BY La Prensa (Buenos
Aires), agrees we'll with the interpreta-
ton given. for instance, by an Amcri-
can newspaper man, Edward Price, in
Berlin and London. who said that the
United States was waiting only for the
proper moment In order opportunity to
assist the entente.
The same American stated that
Americans from the beginning OF the
war really participated In it by put
ting the immense resources OF the
United States at the ententes disposal
ana mat Americans had not declared
war only because they felt sure that
assistance by friendly neutrality would
be during that time much more ef-
hcient for the entente than direct par
ticipation In the war. Whether this
American newspaper man reported the
facts exactly we were at a loss to judge
in satisfactory fashion, since we were
more or less completely cut Off from
communication with the United States
But there were other facts which
seemed to confirm this and similar as
surances Everybody knows these
these facts. and l need not repeat them
The entente propaganda services have
sufficiently heralded all these pro-
entente demonstrations in the United
States. And IL you link these demon
STATIONS with the actual attitude Of
the United States. then it is obvious
that II was not frivolous on our part
to consider what defensive measures
we should take in case we were at
tackled by the United States"

newspaper correspondent named Ed

the moment when the entry of tho

from her present alliances and attack
the United States through Mexico The
report persisted even after the recent

idea OF America being deferred from

that Germany was trying to establish

the effect German american war
might have on Japanese policies and on
the specific possibility of a Japanese

 "The farmers turnout the country have been much benefited by the pro- paganda of the department of agricul- ture of Washington, and one can by writing there get information touch ing on all branches and kinds of farm ing, gardening, stock raising, or any thing else that farmer would be con- cerned in.

Free Feed for Bowery eums.
 It isn't very often that the Bowery Is lucky enough to get feed, but recently there was the lucky day. About eight o'clock, just as the street was waken- ing up, bakery wagon, in a frenzy to get somewhere, bumped along the thor oughfare. On the curbs on either side were seated those ragged men who' either rightly or eroneously, nave reached the conclusion that they do not count, and who therefore work not As the bounding wagon reached the rendezvous of rest it's rear doors opened out came pan after pan of bread, jelly doughnuts, tarts, rolls. lay CT cake and biscuits. An elevated train passing above provided chatter which drowned the sound of the falling pans and by the time the bakery wagon hat gone a block there was not a cooki' or crust remaining in the street. Down and cutters, who have not proceeded faster than slouch for years, wers running east, west and south from thu scene of the bakery wagon like bolf' from the so-called blue. The drfvel returned to collect the pans. distr1D uted a streetful of snappy languag' and drove dolefully away. And alonl the Bowery there was an air of con tentment all day.

 The increase rate became effective at midnight, and all mail matter in the office at that time was entitled to the former rate. Stacks of mail indi- cated that corporations, firms and in- dividuals throughout the country had antedated their November 1 mail, so that letters which usually left St. Louis, Chicago or New York on the first day of the month were mailed in time to reach their destination on the first day of November.
 It was the same way With local writers and local firms. Stacks Of letters, in bundles, were dumped into the postoffice during the evening and several good sized packages of let ters were taken to the office shortly before midnight. Individual letters were shunted through the hole into the Out of Town" box, showing hun Greds of thrifty persons had saved one cent on every letter.
 The postoffice crew has been work ing overtime, but they are keeping the mail moving.

Quality of Knowledge Counts.
 What is needed to elevate the soul Is. not that man should know all that has been thought and written Tn regard to the spiritual nature-not that a man should become an ency' clopedia; but that the great idea, m which all discoveries terminate, which sum up all sciences, which the philos' opher extracts from infinite details, may be comprehended and felt, quotes William Ellery Charming. It is not the quantity, but the quality of knowl' edge. which determines the minds dig nity. A great mind is formed by few great ideas, not by an infin' ity of loose details.

Cotton Instead of Silk.


 For almost hundred years no one thought of making thread other than from linen and silk. Cotton was not so much as thought of. Then Napoleon, who had been devastating Europe, thought he would strike blow at the silk industry of Hamburg, and caused the stocks of silk to be burned. The thread makers of Paisley thus found their supplies of raw material cut off, and they, had to look about to find a substitute Cotton was tried; and was found to answer the purpose so well that the basis of an entirely new indus try was laid-the manufacture of "cot- tons thread. From tlis time on the progress of the new industry was ste1dy. ss

Kircher's landscape resolved it. self at distance into human head with very curly locks and village on the bridge of the nose. The eye was very prominent, but how 1t was to be obtained except by color was not very clear. However, it was plain enough in the plan, with man shooting into 1t as if it were target. The giants neither lip and chin came we'll out against the sky line, and altogether the design was not a bad one.
