Perseverance,.

Sheriff Wheeler of Bisbane, the Ari-
IONA patriot who deported 1900 anti
war agitators. said at a banquet in
Phoenix:
II got the best Of these rascals nv
the employment Of perseverance. In
the police world you've got to have all
the perseverance of Boozer.
"Boozer, you know, was crossing the
continent on the limited, and one night,
after too many high balls he tackled
me in the smoker, and told me long,
long story about his domestic troubles.
"The next morning, headachy and
sober, he came to me again and said
how much he regretted his confession
of the evening before. and he hoped
the facts he'd revealed would go no
farther"
sob, that's all right said I, 4 never
listened to you, old man, and haven't
the least idea of what you said
swell, that night the chump turned
up in the smoker agsx :, drunken than
before, and he sat down beside me,
and laid heavy hand ON my knee and
said:
"'Now, then, durn you, you said you
didn't listen TO me last night, so I'm
goin' to tell YOU the whole story of my
able-hic-marriage over again. ="

PROVES GERMAN INTRIoUEs.

An amazing report of German in
trigue and propaganda against the in
terests of the United States is present
ed herewith. These disclosures are
made by the committee of public infor-
nation, an official bureau of the gov
eminent.
Some of these cases have been made
public before. The indictment drawn
up by the Washington authorities sets
them forth In glaring sequence. They
began In the autumn of 1914.
The report by the committee Of pub
lie information Is given herewith.

German newspaper published in this
country employed as the headline to an
article dealing with a rumor Of Ger

This Is, Of course, a parody on the
refrain of "Die Wacht am Rhein," the
German national hymns:

In the parody 1t carries a sneer COM

TypIHes Propaganda.
OF itself the instance is slight. But
II typifies certain important phase
of the German propaganda which sub
tly but persistently seeks to present
Germany's course in America in the
most favorable light, even to the ex-
tent of defending the improper actlv-
tiles of the Teutonic diplomatic repre-
sentatives before their passports were
given them.
Because Of this continuing propa-
ganda certain documents In the pos

British Headquarters in France, Nov
27.-The British are in possession of
still more enemy trench defenses in
the region of BullecOurt, the Germans
having been forced to withdraw some
what at several points TO rearrange
their positions.
A considerable number of German
communication trenches had become
untenable as result of the British
drive into the enemy front lines last
week, and the Germans abandoned
these for more favorable ground.
Hard fighting still continues for the
possession Of Bourbon village, with the
British holding the upper hand.
There was considerable artillery ac-
tivity during the night, but. generally
speaking, things were quiet. Notwith-
standing the heavy rainfall of the last
week, the ground is firm aud favorable
for operations.
Paris, Nov 27.--yiolent artillery fir
ing in Belgium and north of the
Chemin des Danes is reported in the
official statement.
The day report stated the French
were organizing the ground they cap
tured in the Nerdun region. The later
communication adds that enemy con
centrationS north of the new lines were
caught under the fire of French bat
terieS and dispersed.
The artillery fighting also is spirited
in this sector.
London Nov. 27.-The Germans
have not repeated their attacks on the
Bourbon position west of Cambria
since their failure, Field Marshal Haig
reported.
Berlin. Nov. 27.-According to the
official announcement the town of
Bourbon. in the Cambria area, is still
in German hands.
