As lahorers for native masons and to
perform many degrading tasks. The
women are declared to have been
obliged to witness the bathing of Ger

1T will hardly be said again to any
secretary of of the United
states that the German dyestuff will
rot permit the establishing of dye
stuff. Monopolies OH which German
foreign commerce in large part seem
ed to rest ecure have passed away.
Our friends beyond the sea and wa
ourselves have learned the danger of
having our industries wholly depend
ent on foreign sources which may be-
come unfriendly.
1T is pitiful to read extracts from
the German press which seem to show
that they expect to take up the task
of rebuilding their commerce where
they laid it down. They reckon the
worlds demand for potash as a pure
" German asset. 1t was so but. It is
so no longer. They were the worlds
source for dyestuffs. That opportunity
has gone. II was they to whom the
world looked for optical glass. We do
not look there now. They were the

Called Arch Plotters

Assistant United States District At
torney Joseph B. Fleming, in his open
ing address described the four de-
PENDANTS as arch-plotters against the
British government for the German
ause. He said the government would
prove that Jacobsen had given Gupta
$1,000 in the formers home in Chicago
and that various other sums had been
paid others identified with the alleged
plot. Attorney Fleming said that the
government would show that the all
legged plotters received their instruc-
lions from Berlin by code kilograms.
The entire plot. he said, was conceived
in Berlin when the India National
party was formed in the German CAPT
tai in 1914 to overthrow British rule in
India and force the Allies to withdraw
troops from the French and Belgian
battle fronts to India
