SLAIN GIRLS BROTHER
RE-ENLlSTS IN NAVY
Murder Of Mary Phaaan, For Which Al
legged Slayer Forfeited His Life,
Recalled.

Philadelphia.-The murder of Mary
Phagan about two years ago. for
which Leo Frank, the alleged slayer,
forfeited his life at the hands of a
Georgia mob. has been recalled by the
re-enlistment in the navy of Benjamin
f. Phagan, twenty four years old, a
brother of the murdered girl.
Phagan was serving as fireman on
the United States steamer Ohio at
the time his sister was murdered.
When the Ohio reached the Philadel-
phia navy yard in September, 1915, he
received piece of rope said to have
been used to lynch Frank and also a
piece of bark off the tree from which
the body was hanged. The murder OF
his sister. the lynching of Frank and
the receiving of the rope and bark are
believed to have unnerved Phagan, and
he broke liberty.
When he returned to his ship he was
ordered to appear for court martial and
received bad conduct discharge from
the service.
Several weeks ago Phagan applied to
Commander Reid at the navy recruit
ing station, 1910 Arch street, for re-en-
llstment. He explained his case. and
permission was granted for him to join
the service again. He received the rat
ing as fireman and has been sent to the
receiving ship at League island.

CHOKE PRUSSIANISM,
SAYS OTTO H. KAHN
Calls on German-Americans to
Raaks For America in This
Sacred War.

Arraigning Prussianism in bitter
before the Harrisburg, Pa, Chamber
of Commerce, called on German-Amer-
leans to fight for America against
the power arrayed against her.
81 speak as one who has seen the
spirit of the Prussian governing class
at work from close by, having at Its
disposal and using to the full practi-
cally every agency for moulding the
public mind.
Il have watched it proceed with
relentless persistency and profound
cunning to instill into the nation the
demoniacal obsession of power wor-
ship and world dominion, to modify
and pervert the mentality, indeed, the
very fibre and moral substance Of the
German people"
Speaking of the possibility of peace,
Kahn said:
God grant that the German people
n before long work out their own
salvation and find the only road which
will give to the world an carly peace
and lead Germany back into the fam
lily of nations from which it now is
an outcast.
I'VE Americans of foreign antece-
dents are here not by the accidental
right of birth. but by our own free
choice, for better or for worse.
"Woe to the German-American, So
called, who in this sacred war for a
cause as high as any for which ever
people took up arms. does not feel
solemn urge to rival and Guido his
native born fellow citizen in devotion
to the country.
Americans of German descent are
now summoned to join in our coun-
trys righteous struggle against peo-
pie of their own blood, which, under
the evil spell of dreadful obsession,
has made an enemy of this peace
loving nation"

Root Flaws Aqitators.

"a nation which declares war and
goes on discussing whether it ought
to have declared war or not is i'm
potent, paralyzed, imbecile, and earns
the contempt of mankind and the GER
tainty of humiliating defeat and sub
lection to foreign control.
Before the decision of proposal
to make war men may range them
selves upon one side or the other OF
the question; but after the decision
in favor of war the country has ranged
itself, and the only issue left for the
individual citizen is whether he is
for or against his country.
From that time on arguments
against war in which the country is
engaged are enemy arguments.
"They encourage the enemy. They
tend to introduce delay and irresolu-
ton into our own councils.
THE men who are speaking and
writing and printing arguments
against the war now, and against
everything which is being done to
carry on the war, are rendering more
effective service to Germany than
they ever could render in the field
with arms in their hands. "-Elihu
Root

Anltators should be Reported,

There are a few traitors who are
agitating against the draft law, against
conservation of food, against every
movement of the government that has
for its object the bringing of the war
to a victorious close at a cost OF the
fewest possible number of lives. Some
go far enough that they can be placed
in prison. Others are more guarded
in their statements, but they are just
as dangerous.
All such cases should be immediate
ly reported to your local county coun'
Gil of patriotic service. A number OF
reports have come concerning such
agitators. When sworn evidence has
been secured, it will be turned over
to the federal authorities. Patriotic
citizens should send in reports of any
such agitators of whom they know.
Their work is crime against the boys
of every community whose very lives
depend upoa their having the undi-
vided support of the nation.

French Need Sugar Badly.

Federal Food Administrator Charles
Hebberd appeals to the people Of
Washington to heed the urgent call
of the French people, voiced through
Herbert Hoover, to provide them with
100000 tons of sugar within thirty
days.
This must be DONE" said Mr.. Heb
berd, ''if the minimum ration now
furnished the French people is to be
continued until the new crop of West
Indian sugar is available January l.
There is only enough sugar in the
United States nov to supply our nor
NAL consumption until the new crop
is available. If the call of the French
people is to be answered 1t can only
be through economy.
America consumes 80 pounds Of
sugar per capita each year, or little
under four ounces for each person
each day. In France, England and
Italy, the annual consumption per cap
tia is 81 pounds. or less than one
ounce each day.
1.-THE l 100000 people in Washington
now consume, as much sugar as g.
100000 French people.
1.-THE French people are about to
be deprived of that bare minimum
ration for two months unless our peo-
pie reduce their excessive consump-
ton of candy and sugar"

Washington.-The United States will

for ships of smaller capacity and lower

has been asked for in addition TO the

Delay in the letting of contracts for

caused in part by the fact that under

shortest possible time.
AT least $50 cargo ships. aggregatine

Vegetable Compound, and these herbs
all have to be gathered at the season
of the year when their medicinal prop

The watchword in preparing these
herbs is cleanliness, the process OF
percolation is perfect. All utensils
and tanks are sterilized and the medi-

herbs, together with the skill and care
used in the preparation, which has
