GERMAN EDITOR
SURRENDERS
Faces Charges Following a
Raid Made on Enemy
Papers
VIGOROUS ACTION
HAS BEEN BEGUN
Government Starts a Move
Against Seditious Press
in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Sept. l2.-Louis Werner
editor of the Philadelphia Tageblatt, a
German daily raided by federal agents
Monday night, walked into the United
States marshals office yesterday and
surrendered. Officers had been unable
to find him
The Tageblatt appeared yesterday
morning, although copies of an early edi-
ton, just off the press at the time of the
raid, had been confiscated.
Vigorous action is to be taken by the
government against offending German
language newspapers in all parts of the
country, it became known yesterday fol-
lowing the raid on the offices of the Phil
adelphia Tageblatt. From Washington
came reports that at least six such or
gans that have been preaching anti.war
propaganda are under surveillance.
Activities will be directed against the
publishers of anti-war and pro-German
publications under the terms of the es
pionage act. Government agents have
not indicated yet whether wholesale ar
rests will be made or whether orders
are to be issued denying the use of the
mails to the Objectionable newspapers.
Large quantities of correspondence and
documents seized in the office of the
paper are being examined
by the government officials. In the
DR.. Martin Darkow, editor of
the Philadelphia paper, and Herman
Lemke, the business manager, are being
held in $4,000 bail for further examine
tion.
For several months, it is charged, the
newspaper has been attacking govern
nent policies. One warrant charges mem |
oers of the staff with "willfully making |
md conveying false reports and state
nents with the intent to promote the
success of the enemies of the United |
States while the United States is at war
With the imperial German government"
n second warrant, staff members are
ccused of using the mails for the same
purpose.

REPAIR WORN MACHINERY.
Scarcity of Implements Must Be Met By
Putting Old Ones into Shape for Work

/ The great cutlery for farm production
and the scarcity for machinery points
to the need of some way to repair a
great many implements that are now
useless largely because Of the neglect
with which they have been treated, says
the United States department of agri.
culture, which adds that the machinery

agents should help to perform this re-
pair service.
Throughout the country there are
thousands of binders, mowers, and other
farm machines rusting in the fence cor
ners, and many of these might be made
available for further valuable service
The manufacturers of farm machinery
are admittedly unable to furnish all the
new machines required and are paying
for full page advertisements to influence
governmental authorities to insure them

tion in competition with the demand for
machines of war.
The railroads of the country, accord.
ing to one of their officials. are being
compelled in the present emergency to
rescue practically every scrap locomotive
from the old-iron graveyards and rebuild
them for active service. A similar plan
should be adopted, says the department,
for the reclamation of this cast-off
farm equipment through the agency of
central repair shops where the work
could be done. Many of the machines
might be made available for further
service with repairs of comparatively
small cost.

INSURING SOLDIERS.
Australia Has a Proposal for Taking
Care of Families.

| Sydney, Australia, Sept. l2-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press -
A scheme for insuring soldiers from Aus.
tralia in this war which was launched
early in July by Sir Samuel McCaugh-
i y, "the sheep king" of the common
wealth, is now in question.
| Sir Samuel is an octogenaran bachelor
pastoralist, who lives at North Yanco
in this state, New South Wales. To him
Australia owes much. He was pio-
neer irrigationist and his sheep ranch
at North Yanco is one of the finest on
this continent A few years ago his
sheep properties totalled 100000 acres
and the number of sheep shorn on them
was million yearly. The wool often
reached more than S2,500,000 in value
He came to Australia 60 years ago from
his native town in the north of Ireland
and is member of the legislative coun-
ell, the upper House of the New South
Wales Parliament. ->rior to the war he
made important contributions to patriot
ic funds, including one for equipping
troops for the Boer war, and his charities
then and now are numerous.
Sir Samuel's latest patriotic gift, the
ttI VI NulCH are III u uttu bl
declaration now made public, is an I'M
dertaking to insure the lives of 800 Aus
tralian soldiers. Each policy is to be
special one in an Australian company
for $1,000 payable if the insured soldier
meets with death or total disablement
Only recruits who have enlisted since
early in July are eligible. The deed pro-
.vides for other patriotic Australians
Joining with Sir Samuel in the scheme.
Sir Samuel stipulates that the children
Of the men injured shall include IL
legitimate as well as legitimate children,
and dependents shall include the mothers |
Of such illegitimste children" This lib
sral provision has excited favorable
in Australia.
The work of carrying out the scheme
has been entrusted to a board of four
prominent citizens. A year after peace
has been declared. should there be any
funds the money may in the
discretion of this board. be spent for the
urther benefit of the insured soldiers or

WOMEN AS WAR WORKERS
A Study of Bridgeport Conditions-A Re-
port From England.

A timely and interesting book il
Women as Munition Workers" by Amy
| Hewes, professor OF economics at Mount
Holyoke college. In the book, published
! by the Russell Stage Foundation "a
cents), is also included a report by Hen.
riette r. Walter on "Munition Workers
in England and France"
Miss Hewes' report is based upon a
study of Bridgeport munitions plants
made in the summer of 1915. Although
Ia year has elapsed since then, and an
improvement in conditions probably oc-
Cured, the account of Bridgeport as a
boon" town is one that is of great in
terest to us because it strikes so near
home We have had numerous write ups
of conditions in war factories abroad
here we have straightforward repre-
sentation of what has happened in one
of our own munitions cities.
For that is primarily what Bridgeport
is nova munitions city. Before the
war started it was a manufacturing town
whose products, to quote the author,
ranged from submarines to grapha-
phones, and included automobiles, electric
goods, corsets and machine shop prod
ucts." When the war boom struck Bridge
port it found the city totally unprepared
and it was some time before the city
woke up to the fact that its housing,
traffic and recreational facilities Were in
adequate for the strain that was put
upon them. When the city did finally
wake up, however, it began to work ear
nestly in the right direction by forming
a housing company capitalized at 81 000,-
300 and backed by prominent men This |
committee, headed by an expert city |
Dlanner, solved the house problem. Bet !

BERKMAN HELD FOR MURDERS
Arrested as Soon as He Had Furnished
$4,000 Bail on Conspiracy Appeal.

| New York, Sept. 12-Alexander Berk-
man, the anarchist convicted of conspir-
acy against the selective draft law, re.
leased here Monday on furnishing $685.
900 cash appeal bond, was rearrested at
once on warrant issued by the San
Francisco authorities accusing him of
murder in connection with the prepared
ness day explosion in that city last year.
The warrant was issued by the superior
court of the city of San Francisco and
charged murder in three individual
counts.
Berkman is accused, with others, of
having been in a conspiracy July %, 1915,
which caused the deaths of Myrtle Irene
Van Lee, Hattie Knapp and Rubin j.
Vaughn As he left the federal building
in police custody, Berkman was greeted
by Emma Goldman. Mary Ellen Fitz-
gerald and Morris Hillquit, who accom-
panied him to police headquarters. Berk-
man was then taken to a police court
for arraignment but, the court having
he was locked up for the
night
Louis Kramer and Morris Berger, also
and sentenced for violating the
selective draft law, offered bail on their
appeal at the same time as did Berkman.
Their bail was refused by Judge Mayer,
As the property offered is located in an
other judicial district. Kramer and Ber-
ger will be taken back to the federal
oenitentiary at Atlanta.

SAVE THE DOES.
During the Coming Hunting Season Kill
Only Full Crow Bucks

Washington, d. c., Sept 12-The opcr
season for deer is now at hand III many
parts of the country and in Is state:
the law allows both bucks and does tc
be killed In the other states does are
protected at all seasons The United
States department of agriculture strong
ly urges that these Is states should
make 1917 a close season on does. 1t
points out that about i0,O00,000 pounds
Of venison are produced in year.
Since the does as a rule average less
in weight than 1ueks of the same age,
killing a doe instead Of buck usually
means considerably less meat Further
more the department points out that the
supply of deer will not increase if the
breeding stock is killed off The rapid
ity with which deer increase when does
are protected is shown by the experience
in Vermont, Pennsylvania, and other
states, and a doe spared this fall means
one more fawn as well as one more doe
next spring.
Make Every Deer Count
Several recommendations are made by
the department as follows:
Do not kill spike buck or doe when
you can obtain full-grown buck
Do not kill deer when weather condi
tions or difficulties of transportation pre-
vent saving the meat.
Save every pound of meat
Save the skin and the head Also if
the antlers are in good condition.
Do not shoot deer at night, or in the
water, or unless YOU can clearly see that
The animal aimed at Is full grown buck
Failure to observe this rule usually re-
suits in a violation Of the game laws and /
lften in the loss Of human life
