GERMAN SPIES TRAIL REVEALED

Washington, April 3-The signifi-
canoe of President Wilson's warning of
German spies "even in our offices of
government" became apparent today
when it was learned that on several
occasions trails of the German secret
service have been discovered within
some Of the most closely guarded pre-
cincts of the executive departments.
Although officials do not believe
that access has been gained by the
foreign agents to any information Of
great Importance, they are understood
to be convinced that not even the State
Department, with its highly confiden-
tial diplomatic facilities has been free
from invasion.
No evidence on which prosecutions
can be based has been found, 1t is
said, but enough has been revealed to
prompt sweeping official investlga-
ton and precautions which the de-
partment believes will safeguard its
interests more adequately in the fu-
ture.
In his address to Congress last
night, the President laid particular
stress on the activities of German
spies and stringent spy law will be
one of the first war measures re-
quested TO Congress by the admins
tration. At the last session an espion-
age bill drawn by the Department of
Justice was passed by the Senate,
but failed to reach vote in the
House.
Since the war began the justice de-
partments bureau of investigation,
charged with the prosecution of for
eign agents and disloyal citizens, has
been enlarged several times. 1t now
is expected to be given much wider
facilities in powers and to become an
increasingly important part Of the fed
eral government.

TIME IS THE TEST
The Testimony Of Maysville People
Stands the Test.

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
Misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test of
time.
Maysville people appreciate merit
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills (;
they do so still Would a citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was Just as
represented? Below is testimony such
as the sufferer from kidney ills is look
ing for.
Fred Dresel, tailor and justice of the
peace, 1898 e. Second St, Maysville,
says: Il was troubled by inflammation
of the bladder and annoyance from
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
burned In passage and often were re-
tarded. l had severe pains across the
small Of my back which greatly inter-
fered with my work. Doans. Kidney
Pills, which l got at Wood e. Sons
Drug Store, gave me prompt relief"
Mr.. Dresel gave the above statement
on February 6, 1908, and on November
IA. 1916, he added: 81 have had the
same faith in Doans Kidney Pills to-
day as ever, for haven't had any trou-
Bile with my kidneys since last recon-
mended them"
Mr.. Dresel is only one of many Mays
Vile people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney rem
edy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S KID

has twice publicly recommended-th

PLEA MADE TO FARMER TO SUP.
PLY ABUNDANT FOOD

Philadelphia, April Incorporation
between the comptroller finance, the
farmers and the workmen was urged
by speakers at today's session of the
National Employment Managers Con-
ference as one of the greatest needs
of the country in the present situa-
ton. The speakers were Alvin E.
Dodd, secretary of the National So
ciety for Industrial Education, and
John Fitch, of New York, both men,
bers of the advisory committee on La
Dor and Welfare of Workers for the
Council of National Defense.
THE government is planning
three-year basis of war;" declared
Mr.. Dodd. Every war measure
drawn up has that plan in view. We
have been asked to organize commit
tees of citizens and representation to
bring today everything that can be
used for national defense. 1t is not
the idea of the government that we
are going to need great number of
soldiers at present but all our indus
trial and financial resources must be
organized Immediately.
"The food problem is as serious.
The farmer must get busy and supply
foods not only for ourselves, but for
the countries abroad. Above all there
must be a complete understanding
between capital and labor"

BIRD LAWS
ARE CHANGED
Statutes in Different States are at
Variance; Federal Law Per-
mits Some Hunt
ing.

The United States department OF
agriculture announces the promulga
ton Of amendments of the migratory
bird regulations, to be effective on and
after October Is, 1917.
One Of the changes permits migra-
tory game birds to be hunted from
half an hour before sunrise to sunset
during the open season, subject, how
ever to the provisions Of state laws
restricting shooting during that time.
Other changes in the open seasons
are as follows:
In the states now having an open
season from September to December
20-Wis consin, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana. Wyom-
ing, Colorado, and Idaho-the open

South Dakota and Wisconsin, recent
ly amended their laws by opening the
season on September 16 or later and
closing it on December 81 or earlier.
In South Dakota and Wisconsin the
season closes on December 20 in ac-
cordance with the laws of those
states.
The open season in eastern Oregon

Frank ]. Hayes, of What Cheer. Iowa,
vice president under White, was elect
ed president. John l.. Lewis, OF
Springfield. ILL.,, former general organ
izer, was elected vice president.
White state that he offered his res
ignation because his work as advisor
to the federal fuel administrator, H.

time. His term would not have eX-
pired until April 1, 1919. He was
formerly president of the Iowa union

to that time he had served as vice
president for one year.
In a statement to the members of
the union, White stated he had long
considered the step and recent ac-
compIishment of the organization per-
mitted him to make the move at this
time.

BOUNTIES AS
SOLDIER AID
This Was an lnducement Offered to
Volunteers Who Would
Serve Back in
1851


OF all the inducements held out to
prospective volunteers, bounties were
probably the most effective encourage.
ment for enlistment during the civil
war This is the statement made by
DR.. John E. Briggs in a recent pubIi-
cation of the State Historical society
of Iowa. At the very beginning of the
civil war a federal bounty Of one
hundred dollars was provided, payable
at the time the volunteer was dis
charged No sooner had the policy OF
paying bounties been adopted than
cities, counties and states began to
outstriD the federal government in
their desire to win recruits. The state
of Iowa offered no bounties, but cities
and counties were authorized to do SO.
By 1862 the evils Of the system began
to appear. For instance, it appears
that too often men rushed to the col
ors wherever they could obtain the
largest bounties, so that large cities
and wealthy counties drained the sur
rounding country and received credit
for volunteers who resided elsewhere.
Later when a draft was ordered, che
rural districts and backward counties
were compelled to furnish men in
place of those for whom the district
should have received credit in the
first instance. 49,
