AMERICA STARTS HER
TEUTON PROPAGANDA
United States Agents Drop
Pamphlets in German Cit
les, Stirring People

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The Ameri-
can government is matching Teuton
propaganda here with efforts to influence
public opinion in the central powers.
All the allies are doing the same, it was
semiofficially learned today.
Besides hundreds Of German soldiers
who have used the password republic, .
similar French efforts since the open
ing of the war have cost Germany 10000
Alsatians, deserters from the Teutop
ranks, according to a member of the
French high commission.
Through pamphlets dropped from air
planes by German republicans operating
from Switzerland and in ways the CEN
sorshp forbids telling, the truth of the
American and allied side is slowly seep>
ing through the enemy countries. These
measures are considered sound strategy
and self-defense. How they are feared
the death penalty for any one caught
circulating literature undermining the
peoples moral
The air or "subterranean" route for
placing President Wilson's speeches in
the hands of German people was adopted
from, the beginning because the official
German versions cut out the punchy
paragraphs.
American watchfulness against Teu~
ton propaganda is growing. Austrian
agents trying to discourage enlistments
of Rumanians, Serbs, Croats and other
Balkan tribesmen in the United States
army have been discovered.

Persons Who Put Gas
Pipes in Auditorium in
Chicago Being Sought

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE persons re-
spOnsible for placing the mysterious gas
pipe device resembling a bomb which
became ignited and caused a brief panic
in the Auditorium theater here last
night were being sought today by fed
eral, state and city authorities.
Government officials were working on
two theories. One is that the bomb had
been planted by some one who sought
to blow up the theater The other is
that the device was not composed of a
high explosive and had been placed in
the theater as a protest against expendi-
ture of money for opera.
The first warning came when a puff

COMMISSION ENDS
TESTIMONY IN RATE
INCREASE HEARINGS
Principal Witness Against
Railroads, Clifford Thorney
Says Earnings Exceeded ES-
Inmates for 1917

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Taking Of
testimony in the hearing of the Is per
cent advance freight rate case before
the interstate commerce commission
was completed today with the introduce
ton of witnesses by shippers in an eff
fort to show that the financial condi-
ton Of the railroads is not as serious
as had been contended and that an in
crease in freight rates now is unwar-
ranted.
The principal witness was Clifford
Thorne, who gave an exhaustive review
of statistics prepared by the shippers
tending to show that railroad securi-
ties had not declined as much as some
others, and that earnings of the thirty
eight eastern roads interested already
had exceeded by 100000 since January
the estimates the railroads gave of
their earnings for 1917 when the case
was heard earlier in the year.
Representatives of southwestern cat
tie interests testified that an increase
in rates. even in eastern territory only
would work a hardship on the industry
which they said had been abnormally
bad for the raisers for two years. Ed
&c. Lassiter, who raised cattle on a
large scale in Texas, stated that the
cattlemen who shipped to the middle
western markets would be affected by
the rates in the east because the pack
ers would consider the increased trans
portation cost in purchasing.
Sam Cowan. representing the national
live stock shippers protective associa-
ton, read kilograms from cattlemen
saying their situation was serious be-
cause Of the drought and high cost Of
feed. One from Ike T. Pryor, president

The old soldiers heard Billy Sunday
Friday afternoon.
From the Confederate home near At

where they sat and listened, chuckling
and nodding their heads and in them
selves forming one of the best bits OF
copy to newspaper men that the Sun
day revival has yet furnished.
Some of them were so feeble that they
tottered on canes and crutches. others
were straight as arrows. despite their
three score years and ten. But nearly
all were gray and wrinkled, and beard
ed where they were not bald. They wore
their bronze badges on thir threadbare
coats, with here and there a uniform
that seemed as though it would outlast
it's owner, Confederate gray still stand
ing steadfast when the man who took
it into battle is passed over the Great
Divide. b.,
Rody saw them when he first entered
the tabernacle, and at once he set out to
win their hearts. He played Dixie and
he played Maryland, My Maryland"
on his trombone until the crowd cheer
ed. And then he got close up in front
and bent down toward them and began
to run over the old bugle calls on the
"slip-horn."
How about this?" said Rody, and
gave them ASSEMBLY Again they nod

1t was mess call" and as the notes
of ''soupy soupy. soupy," came sputter-
ing out, the line of gray heads went
back and the wrinkled lips broke into
guffaw.
Billy Sunday, too, had a warm word
for the veterans when he enteredA and
leaned toward them at the beginning
of his sermon.
Glad to welcome all you old COM
rades here" he said. You're such a
husky looking lot of men for YOU age

the old fighting days. l don't wonder
you gave 'em a run for their money!

Onion Crop Will Be
 Short

CGtter Ark.-Yesterday was the first day of spring in the White River country Of the Ar kansas Ozarks, and the early gar deners made a rush for onion sets. A vail of anguish went up when the price of 75 cents a gal lon was quoted The customary price is two bits. , The stock is limited, many merchants who bought early not getting delivery or getting only part. On account of these conditions the early on ion crop raised from sets will be small in this section. Many of the early gardeners who had their beds ready for planting will plant part in other yegeta bles.

Too Much for the Law

 The young physician replied. Yes. sir. 1 am
 Then the smart lawyer put a hypothetical case before the doctor in this way:
 If my learned friend, Mr. Reid, and myself should bang our heads together, would we get concussion of the brain?"
 The young physician calmly replied. MT. Reid might. Our dumb animals.

Rice is The Answer

New York city's Department of Health Is issuing bulletins con- taInlng suggestions designed to ald housewives in meeting the present high prices for food. The first of the bulletins calls at tention to the fact that rice costs SIX -cents per pound and con talns ,6l0 food units, whereas a pound of potatoes costs seven cents and contains only 37O food units.
 As the Gazette has said before. the North and East are actually suffering from lack of knowledge of the proper preparation of rice. Rice is used chiefly in the North and East as a breakfast cereal to be eaten with sugar and cream or basis for desserts. Up there they know little if anything of the delights of rice, eaten with butter or with gravy after it has been cooked so that each gram stands out from every other rain.-Gazette.

Negroes Are Problems

Philadelphia, Fe8. 24.- An in. fux of southern nek kroes, drawn here by demand for cheap la bor by railroads and industrial and intuition plants, is causing alarm to health officials and SO cial workers, who have begun preparations to minimize the dangers of inadequate housing and their evils.
 At conference here yester day of charitable organizations, housing experts, education au- thoritieS and church men, a con- mittee on immigration to this city was organized. Various methods to cope with the situation were discussed. It was stated at the conference that 25,000 negroes have arrived here in the last six months and hundreds are ar irving daily by the train and boat. As result. 1t is said, two story houses in the negro section are sheltering five or more fami lies in many cases.
 Health officials assert that this oFercrowding makes possible spread of disease, Restitution and crime. Study of various phases of the problem was dele. gated to eight subcommittees. housing, sanitation, employment courts, education, recreation, churches and receiving immi- grafton.

Sheep Clear Weeds

In the December Farm and Preside there is an article in which the writer says:
 Goats are excellent for clear
 ing brushy land, but sheep are also good, as we have found dur. ing the last three years in run hing them in foul hill pastures When our pastures were cleared some years ago of trees and bushes, there immediately sprung up in them millions of rank weeds and sprouts. Among the worst of the wild stuff was the iron weed, which our cattle and horses would not touch.
 Sheep like iron weeds almost as well, if not as well. as good grasses. By the end of the sec ond summer our sheep had al most completely y cleaned all the pastures of this weed pest. and our flock is not yet large in com> parison to the acres grazed.
 "Of bushes and sprouts, su. mac was the thickest and rank est in our new pastures. Old sheep like sumac leaves like can. dy.' A ram or an eve will go to a sumac bush in full foliage and completely defoliate it before leaving it if the bush is not tco large and the sheep is not dis turbed in it's feeding. Of this pasture pest, sumac, which We supposed years would be reouir- ed to eradicate, scarcely q plant can be found They have been killed out literally as dead as door nails.
