German Activities in q. S. Are
disclosed on Astounding Basis
Amount of Intrigue Uncovered by Secret Service Agents.
Germany Was Working an Enormous Scale Of
Frightfuness

WASHINGTON, d. C. Sept 29,-
German diplomacy-that crude, sinis-
ter thing, stretching its claws out from
Wilhelmstrasse to all the world is re-
vealed in an official expose as plotting
frightfulness" within the United
States.
From the won Igel papers" long
II possession Of the government, the
committe on public information pieced
together a story stranger and more
startling than fiction.
1t shows that Germany, through her
embassies, was concerned with:
Destruction Of lives and property in
merchant vessels on the high seas.
violation Of the laws of the United
States.
Irish revolutionary plots against
Great Britain
Forming ill-feeling against the Unit
ed States in Mexico.
Subornation of American writers
and lecturers.
Financing of propaganda.
Maintenance of a spy system under
the guise Of commercial inyestiga-
ton bureau.
Substituting a bureau to stir up labor
troubles in munitions plants.
The bomb industry and other related
activities.
Across the page streaked the names
e Count Bernstorff, former German
ambassador, and his aids, Won Papen
and Boy-Ed, attaches of the German
embassy.
Atop OF this new revelation, linking
the German embassy with throttling
( signs against the United states, came

FRANCE THINKS OUR
COIN CROWS ON TREES
AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE LIB
ERAL SPENDERS, AND FRENCH
MEN MARVEL AT THE WAY THEY
HANDLE MONEY.

PARIS, September 30.-France is be-
ginning to believe money grows on
rees in the United States.
The army and navy has had several
pay days. Shiny American gold pieces
have rapidly found their way into
bank bills in exchange for French coin
Of the realm, and the latter has been
ayishly distributed in typical Amer
can fashion.
The French poilu looks with envy on
his American fellow fighter The poilu
receives 4 cents a day for being poilu
The British Tommy gets "a cents
Cay. The American soldier gets about
20 cents day. And he spends it.
Paris newspapers never cease to
wonder at the spending American
fighters. One told how common, ordi-
nary stokers off one of Uncle Sans
battleships came to Paris and cashed
big letters of credit at Paris banks.
Another detailed how an American
Jackie bought dozen bottles of cham
pagne just because it was so cheap in
france.
Paris hotelkeepers have ceased to be
urprised when an American soldier or
ailor orders an expensive room. The
ater ticket offices sell high-priced
eats to American fighters without
rurmur. Restaurant walters are not
surprised when they are told "Just
keep the change"

WOULD ORGANIZE
SCHOOL MILITIA
SUPT. j. E. MATHIS SUBMITS HIS
Z PLAN TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT
WHICH IS MUCH INTERESTED IN
PROPOSAL.

supt. j. E. Mathis has submitted to
the secretary of war proposition rel
ative to military instruction in the
public schools which is calculated to
result eventually in something big for
Americus.
Americas was the first city to insti-
tute military training in the public high
school, step which has been taken by
more than a score of other high schools
in this state. The ideas was original
with supt Mathis. 1t met with a fav,
,orable reception here, and has been
adopted with success in the other cit
les.
Recently Mr.. Mathis submitted to
the war department a plan for having
an annual summer encampment of the
High school cadets, somewhat on the
order of the officers training corps. He
suggested also that state encamp-
ment be held in Americus.
The secretary of war expressed his
interest in and approval of the project,
but stated that it could not be definitely
considered at this time. However, the
ntimation was given that the gov
eminent in due time will take the mat
ter fully into consideration. The fact
that it will provide another source of
young officers impressed itself upon the
government officials.
1t is Supt. Mathis plan to organize a
brigade of High school cadets, and to
have an annual encampment some
where in the state, with Americus in
the state, with Americus having first
claim on it. He believes the govern
ment will at least give support to it.

UNITED STATES MUST SEND
ARMY Of TWO MILLION MEN
before THE WAR IS ENDED
LORD NORTHCLIFFE DECLARES
"THIS Is NO COMMERCIAL WAR;"
AND AMERICA N2T IN 1T TO
MAKE HONEY.

NEW YORK. N. Y, Sept. 29.-That
this is not a commercial war and that
the United States is not in it to make
the world safe for democracy" is de-
clared by Lord Northcliffe, head Of
the British War Mission, in a plain
poken interview today
Lord Northcliffe takes issue with
President Wilson and refutes stock
.rgument of the yelled pro-German
press in stating that "if this country
had meant to take up arms IN defence
Of British of French interests, or in
the interest of Belgium, or in order to
sprea democracy. it would not have
waited lntil April, 1917. If its aims
Ihad bel commercial, it would have
been in TIE war long ago. The motive
whic hbrought the United States in
was not sympathy with any othre ma
ton, was not desire for gain, was not
an abstract fondness for democratic
as opposed to autocratic government:
it was self-interest, self-preservation,
ge1f-respect. The American people
are not fighting to make the world
safe for democracy, but to make the
world safe for themselves.
For this cause American armies
F-e being sent to France. That is
where the enemy of the worlds peace
must be brought to book. Mayor
Thompson Of Chi ago is reported as
having said, 81 do not believe in send
ing our youths to the trenches OF
Europe instead of providing an ade-
quate army to prevent home invasion" "
The war can be ended, the world can
be made safe for us all to live in,
only by fgting the Germans where
there are History shows that
all nations which have waited to be
attacked have suffered in consequence.
Ask any Frenchman whether he thinks
It an advantage to France that the
war is raging on French soil. There
could be only one answer to such a
foolish question. The American army
siust fight the Germans in Europe in
rder to prevent them from bringing
the war to the United States.
"The task which the United States
have taken up in consequence of the
Prussian attack upon its sovereign
