Crafty in Destruction.

The desire Of the German govern
ment At that time To avoid any excesses
on the part of German agents in this
country In carrying ou their program
of destruction thai would lead to a
break with America is evidenced by the
strict injunction that in the attacks up
ON railroads, the emhankments and
bridges should not be touched. Appar-
entity it was realized that otherwise

volving loss of American life, as many
Americans. patronize Canadian rail.

of supplies of munitions and food from
the allies.

To Employ Americans.
The correspondence made public by
the state department has connected
Bernstorff with the French traitor Bolo
Pasha. whom he supplied with funds to
corrupt the French press and strength

Today's disclosures follow. naturally
developing the former ambassadors
close connection with the extensive sa-
botage which prevailed to some extent
in the United States, and to larger
degree in Canada, with the purpose of
crippling the sources of munitions and
food supplies for the entente allies and
OF wrecking Canadian troop trains. For
this purpose. Bernstorif was to have
all necessary funds and was to employ
Americans as his agents.
II is considered possible that the
persons named were unaware of the
recommendations made of them by the
German foreign office. But If the state
department has further information on
this phase of the subject. ii has not
yet given any intimation OF the fact.

Washington, Oct. l0.-Another series

public today by Secretary Lansing.
They are remarkable for the degree OF

wrath Of the American people by actual

Secretary Lansing said the kilograms
had not been sent through the state

that they must have moved through one

William Bayard Hale Involved.


DR. William Bayard Hale was a spe.

as the presidents biographer. Early

innate relations he seemed to have with
high officials of the German foreign of.

Mrs. Hale was with him in Germany.
She also wrote many articles that were
calculated to give the world the most
favorable impression of Germany's aims
and methods Of warfare She was one
of the leaders in the woman's move
ment tn secure an embargo on arms
and ammunition. She came with a COM
to the administration petition signed
by thousands of women appealing for
restriction on shipments of munitions.
State department officials regard the
evidence that has come 10 them as a
simple explanation of the rapidity and
strength with which the embargo
movement swept the country, finally
finding expression in congress i'm the

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending April TO-, II.
The severe drought that prevailed
over the central and southern coun-
ties during the summer and autumn
of 1916 continued in those districts

abundance of moisture, in the form
of snow, prevailed in the northern
sections. The winter was also unus-
ually cold, which in connection with

injurious to winter wheat, alfalfa
and clover. At present the indlca-
tons are not favorable for more than
90 per cent OF crop OF winter wheat
and in some localities there will not
be more than half Of a crop of hay,
