WILL ISSUE WEEKLY WAR NEWS
U. S. Will Make Daily Statements When
Troops in France Get Into Action.

Washington, Aug 22.--The first official
summary of the war activities of the
| United States will be issued in a few
days by Secretary Baker, to be followed
weekly thereafter with statements of
such matters as may be disclosed with
out violating military precautions.
The exact nature of the statements
has not been made known. In announc-
ing his intention to begin the practice,
however, Secretary Baker said he would
so just as far as the military advisers of
the government deemed it wise toward
informing the public of what was in
progress. Information of every sort
reaching the department will be scru-
tinized for punishable matter and the
impression was given that the statements
would not be confined exclusively to past
action; but would probably contain fore
casts wherever permissible,
When American troops get into action
in France daily statements probably will
be issued, founded upon the reports from
General Pershing This has been the
British custom and will be followed by
the United States.
Regarding many rumors of disasters to
American troops or shipping, constantly
being circulated, Mr.. Baker reiterated
emphatically the pledge of the admin
istration to withhold no news of mis-
adventure of the forces from the public
Every untoward happening will be an
nounced promptly, he said, and the pub
lie may rest assured that no news means
good news to that extent. Such rumors
as have been current recently, he said,
were without any foundation whatever. |
The extent to which naval happenings /
can be made public is a different matter. |
Secretary Daniels has promised that
news of disasters will be given out with |
as little delay as possible, but it is not |
to be expected that the extent of damage /
to naval craft, temporary disablement of
destroyers or other vessels either as a re-
suit of action or through accident will be
disclosed. The practice of all countries
has been to keep the enemy as much in
the dark as possible on such matters.

COUNTY AGENTS TO BE INCREASED
Extension Workers in Agriculture and
Home Economies of U. S.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 22.-Plans
have been made to expand Immediately
the cooperative extension work of the
United States department of agriculture
and the state agricultural colleges, by
large increase in the number of eoun-
ty agricultural agents and home demon
-stration agents. Women agents will be
placed for the first time in the larger
towns and cities. More or less technical
training in agriculture and home eco
Monies will be required in this service.
The appointments are to be made on the
recommendation of the director of extern
sion work at the state college. Approx
mately 400 men agents and 500 women
agents are at present employed The
plans formulated contemplate the ex-
tension of the men county agent work to
all the rural counties of the union in
which there is need for the work
and the placing of an additional agent
in some of the larger counties already
organized. They also contemplate a con-
siderable increase in the number of wom
en- agents engaged in extension activities.
The number to be employed will depend
upon the number of trained men and
women available. Proved ability in lead
ership as well as technical training will
be required.
The use of city agents in the conduct
of the extension work of the department
is new departure made desirable by
the Importance attached in the present
food crisis of the world to the conserva-
ton and efficient utilization of foods.
The city demonstration work will be car
ried on by women agents who will work
in cooperation with the existing organ
izations of women.
The aim of the extension work is to
carry directly to as many people as pos
sible information in regard to proved
methods of agricultural production and
home economics. Economy in the pur-
chase of food, and methods of food con-
servation by canning, drying, etc, will
be emphasized The men county agents
are concerned chiefly with agricultural
production while the women are en-
ployed in demonstration work in home
economics.
With funds furnished in the food pro-
duction bill the state relation service |
also will seek greatly to enlarge the |
enrolment of young people in the boys
and girls clubs which are devoted to
increasing agricultural production and
conserving the food supply through can
ming, drying and other means.
The service also will work out prob
lens in the efficient utilization of various
foods and will aid institutions devoted
TO agricultural education to plan and
conduct courses of instruction especially
suited to the present emergency.

.pEDAG0G ACCUSED OF
UN-AMERlCAN CONDUCT
Professor Of German at University Of
Vermont Charged With Undue
Activity in Half Of Germany.

MONTPELIER, VT, March 30.-The
charges of un-American conduct pre-
ferred by the alumni of the University
of Vermont against DR.. Anton H. APP
plcmann, professor of German langu-
age and literature at the university,
are expected to be considered and
acted upon by the university trustees
at a special meeting here tomorrow.
Professor Appelmann was acquitted
OF the charges by four of the five
members of committee of alumni
appointed to inquire into his conduct.
A minority report asserted that his
correspondence with a representative
of the German imperial navy at New
York compromised his standing as an
instructor at an American university.
Although he rendered his resigna-
ton soon after President Wilson an
nounced the diplomatic break with
Germanq, and engaged oassage on the
steamship Frederick Will, intending
to return to Germany with ex-Ambas-
sador Bernstorff, Professor Appel
mann continues to hold his chair at
the university pending final action
by the board of trustees.

VOTERS FAIL AGAIN.

One often hears it stated that the
average voter hasn't the capacity to
make an intelligent choice. AS
friends of democracy, we have az
ways felt inclined to oppose this
view. Our faith in the nnfailing abb
lily of the American voter has
weathered many storms, and the old
slogan, "the voice of the people is
the voice of God,' has been ever with
us.
Yet our faith sometimes is sorely
shaken.
Alderman Merriam, o. Chicago, has
attained a weli-nigh national reputa-
ton as an efficient pubic servant. He
has been at the forefront in fights for
the public good For a decade he has
been looked upon as leader of the
people for the people.
In a recent primary, however, he
was turned down by the very people
whom he had SO efficiently served.
He, a man with sterling reputation,
was defeated by wel:meaning man
of no reputation or experience.
A letter-writer to Chicago pap II
puts it we'll when he says: 81 am
sure that all those influences of the
best class of it's citizens, that make
for the good of the city, keenly feel
the disgrace of shelving man like
Alderman Merriam, whose whole
career has been opposed to organized
graft and indecency."
Exactly; it's disgrace. And the
worst of it is, the people themselves
are responsible.

LIVING COSTS SOAR
People Don't Know How to Resist or
Evade Conditions That Place Bur-
dens on Them, Says Writer.

The public, meaning the masses of
the people and not the few who use
their heads for something besides a
hat rack, are absolutely blind to the
hands that are reaching into their
pockets and taking out the dimes and
dollars, says a writer in the Southern
Construction News Of Little Rock. ,,
The high cost of living is not a jok-
ing subject with most people. But
most people, the very ones who are
the hardest hit, are the hardest to- con-
vince that some very familiar things
are largely to blame. Old Ben Frank
lin was one of the wisest men whose
advice and sayings ever illuminated
the way of the American people. but
millions of folk have lightly passed
up the tremendous truth he uttered
when he said that laziness and idle
ness levied much heavier tax than
did the tax collectors, yet all COM
planned of the latter and few of the
former. Lack of thrift and careless
ness are two of the great factors in
our present day living costs.
How can we sit passive and I'M
moved while millions of dollars worth
their burden each year to increasing
living causes? The San Francisco con-
flagration helped make the panic OF
1907. That made itself felt in an I'M
mistakable way. The property that
is melting away under the flames in
Arkansas each week is one CT the
hands that reaches in your pocket and
mine to snatch away the buying power
of our dollars, but most people never
think of it and others won't believe it
when they are told But needless,
careless and sinful fire waste is one
of the greatest causes of high living
costs today, nevertheless
The masses of the people don't
know how to resist or evade condl-
tions that place burdens on them, but
the gospel of thrift, food raising-at-
home, prevention of careless fires and
similar campaigns are the trenches
from which the people will soon
emerge to make a big drive against
the high cost of living.
