 AMSTERDAM, Dec. 24.-"Our vic tories show that 'Gott' Is our uncon- ditional ally" boasted the kaiser to- day In an address to the troops of the second German army. Contin- uing, he said: If our enemies do not want peace. Germany must smash their stubbornness"
 The kaiser described the present negotiations between Russia and Germany as the result of great Ger man victories on the Russian front, and said that other negotiations would follow in different sections when German arms had fully demon strated their might.

CLEVER GERMAN
 SPY ARRESTED
,.snc1sfelI Press,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec 24.- Franz Schulenberg, who is alleged to be the cleyerest German spy on the Pacific coast, was this evening al rested by secert service operatives. There is good ground for believing that Schulcnbers was planning to blow up the docks and shippins along the Pacific coast ports.
 The government agents have been on the lookout for this clever spy for months, but have never b,yn able to locate him until today, whyn he was found in a dive near tn waterfront He is being held in close confinement in the local led eral prison, and will probably be tried under the espionage act.

GOVERNMENT FAR AHEAD OF PROGRAM CALLING FOR l.
 100000 TONS EACH YEAR
LAss-DLatet PreAsn


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. q. Figures made public today by the federal shipping board shows that the United states IS far ahead ol its snipbuildins This program calls for 100000 tons of shipping to be completed each year for eight years. Since the beginning of the war American shipyards have turned out more than one-fifth of the complete total of S.00000O tons.
 The record made by the ship builders in this period Is consid- cred little short of marvellous. Practically every section of the country has increased it's output, but the shipyards in the north west, and especially at Seattle, are reported to have led in the work.

 MISSOULA Mont, Dec. 3.-Monta- na residents who have been reporting a mysterious airplane flying about the country at night are wondering now if they really did see machine, or were the victims of a hallucination Dr. F. C. Smith. professor of psycho- logy at the University of Montana, is responsible for raising the doubts.
 "If person really believes he sees thing that doesn't exist he is the victim of hallucination," was Dr. Smiths explanation of the "airplanc scare Tt is the power of sugges tion. and It Is brought on by the war and the martial thoughts that are uppermost in the minds of the Ameri- can people"

BILL TERRELL
 IS HOME AGAIN

W. E. Terrill arrived in town yes terday afternoon with nine horses and two big loads of freight. A large portion of the freight was meat and turkeys for local consumption, which will relieve the present shortage. Terrill was bringing the Christmas turkeys, but the cold weather de layed him so that special autos were sent out Sunday to bring in several loads in time for today's big dinners
 The horses brought in by Terrill are all fine looking, big stock, and seem to have stood the cold and hard trip excellently.

 And on the 9th, four day later. l having pondered the situation, h. con fesses:
 My evening prayer today was: Lo.d, make the world See reason, md make peace reign between Ger many and America. Amen 1 But two facts above all others domj- nate the impressions set down by this good faithful soul: They are hungry at the front, and the rela- uons between the German officers and their men are deplorable. 1 On each page reappear more com plaints about an empty stomach: 1 Feb. 4 The mite of fuel which we have won't make steady fire. can make only one mouthful out of my breakfast.
 March Al gave half my bread to the comrades who were eating i- with their eyes.
 March 17--I am so hungry, That is the reason why I declined to vol unteer for a parrol last night.
 March 18-I have suffered keenly from hunger all day, The bread doy7 not satisfy, and there is so littIe of 1t.
 March 19-I suffered from hunger all afternoon, and after supper, al night long. So l made only two trips with the supply transport train
 March 31-It is only o'clock in the morning, and l have eaten ali my bread already. l shall have to suck my tongue till night, A com iado gave me the dusty crusts ot 4is loaf How good they tasted.

 March 8, i'll, he was sent to Fles- signy for examination by a doctor. He saw there painful spectacle, the regular result of the permanent state of famine which reigned in the army. It seems to have made deep impression on him:
 Tn the courtyard, six men were dragging ball and chain for having eaten their reserve ration before Verdun. It's shame!' That Is what the men around me said.
 II was struck by the furnishing condition of my comrades; they are always hungry, and above all. want to get bread. It seems that stealing is becoming frequent"

Go and look at your selves in your own sergeant's glass. We took a last look into the mirror and went away There's militarism for you, Prussian militarism, which the whole world wants to wipe out. Let us hope that those hereditary Prussian rascals will be thoroughly well licked"
 Not an unrighteous prayer-a pure ly reasonable prayer to which all humanity can well respond with that same Amen" which this same Ger ken. the ninth of February before. had used to end his evening prayer to the ancient German God.

Make your hoe this summer keep your can opener busy next winter.
 See that the shelves in your preserving closet sag just a little this year.
 That rubber ring you put on a prererving jar helps you to stretch your income.
 Establish a home canning firm, Father, Mother & Co.," Don't forget the little "co's."
 A quart of canned peaches or tomatoes on the shelf is worth a bushel rotting on the ground.
 Get ready for canning season now. Regrets are the only things ever canned in the jars you forgot to order.
 Really there is nothing to can ming fruit and vegetables, except care, cleanliness, fresh productsH jars and heat.
 If you have more preserving jars than you can fill, lend them to a aneighbor who will make them work for the Nation.
