WHERE TO PAY YOUR
RED CROSS MONEY

It takes a lot of work to handle the
Red Cross funds, and no one is COM
planning about the amount of this
work, but it would greatly Tighten it
and simplify the whole thing if those
who have subscribed would make
payment promptly and at the right
place. No one receives any compen-
sation for the work, and it is gladly
and cheerfully done.
Mr. NJ. L. Spearman is the treasurer
of the fund for Newberry and pay.
ment may be made at the Exchange
bank If Mr.. Spearman should hap
pen to be out any of the young men
in the bank will gladly wait on you.
The first payment on the subscrip-
tions was due on the first of this
month and there are some people who
seem not to know exactly where or to
whom to make payment. A little
cooperation will simplify and make
easy the work of handling this fund.
If you have not paid go to the Ex-
change bank and any of the young
men in there will give you credit for
the amount you may desire to pay.
If you desire to become member
of the Red Cross society you may join
at the same place by paying the dol
lar to Mr.. Spearman or any one in the
bank.

A Berne dispatch says an official
telegram has been received there from

COLONEL ACCUSED
 OF BEING DISLOYAL
Promotion Of ReiChmann Held Up
 in Senate Committee

Washington, Aug. 18.-The appoint ment of Col Carl Reichmann, IT. S. A., to be Brigadier General in the regular army, recommended by the president early in the week, was abruptly held up by the Senate military affairs con- n1ittee yesterday when startling charges were made against him as to utterances expressing sympathy with Germany in it's submarine and Leppe- lin warfare, and criticizing the poncy of the administration in sending Amer ican troops to France
 Colonel Reichmann is attached to the central department at Chicago, being inspector general of militia. He was born in Germany. but has been in the United States army since December, 1881. According to the charges made to the military affairs committee, hls sympathies throughout the war have been with Germany.
 An accusation of disloyalty was made against Colonel Reichmann by Senator PoindeXter of Washington, who told the military affairs commit tee that, until the matter was thor oughly investigated, no action toward confirming the presidents appoint ment ought to be taken by the con- mittee or the Senate.
 The charges brought by Senator Poindexter amazed the committee, and an investigation was started at once If the accusations are substantial, the committee will not only report against the confirmation of the appointm ent but probably will recommend that Colonel Reichmann be dropped from the army.
 Senator Poindexter informed the committee that he had received let ter from a friend whose integrity he was able to vouch for, giving what purported to be statements made by Colonel Reichmann during a conver- sation recently upon the war. This conversation occurred, so the writer of the letter said, only a short time ago. Only part of the letter was made pub lie by the committee and this quoted

shows a slight decrease in exporta- tion. being 445,ooO,ooo pounds in 1917 against 482,0OO,000 in 1914, while neutral lard. lard compounds and oleo oil also showed slight decrease. The exports of condensed milk alone in 1917 amounted to $23,000.O00 against $12,4OO, 900 in 1916 and $1,341,0 900 in 1914.
 Of breadstuffs, wheat alone shows a total of 5O,OOo,OOO bushels in 1917. 173. 100000 in 1916, and ss,ooo,ooo bushels in 1914, while flour in 1917 is about the same as in 1914 Corn ex- ported in 1917 was 65,00O,0o0 bushels against 33,00O.000 in 1916 and 9.000,- 900 bushels in 1914 Oats exported in 1917 amounted to s9,o0o.0oo bushels against 96.O00,0O0 in 1916 and l,- s60.0o0 in 1914.
 The values in all cases are of course much greater in 1917 than in 1914. The total value of breadstuffs eN- ported in 1917 is $575, 100000 against s436.0O0 900 in 1916 and S165.O0O, 900 in 1914. The total value of meat and dairy products exported in 1917 is approximately $4OO,OOO,OOo against $291 100000 in 1916 and $146,00O,O0O in 1914.
 Exports of foodstuffs in the fiscal year 1917 exceed in value those of any earlier year in the history of the country, aggregating approximately S1,25O, 100000 against S980000,000 in 1915, $431. 100000 in 1914, the year immediately preceding the war, and $5a0, 100000 in 1898, the high record year prior to the war.

what Colonel Reichmann is alleged to have said in sympathy with Germany and in criticism of the administration. This excerpt from the letter accuses Colonel Reichmann as having said, as the writer puts 1t: ,'
 Reichmann's Attitude.
 That the United States did in the Civil war the same things that are complained of against the Germans in the present war; that he thinks 1t is an outrage to send troops to France, as Pershing was sent; that there will be civil war in this country If the government tries to draft men who do not want to go, that we have no business in this war to fight for Eng land. When asked If he thought England had any business in the war fighting for Belgium, he said: Ger many is not fighting Belgium. but is only fighting England.' He also stat ed that 'Germany's submarine war fare is quite what it should be; that the bomb dropping on English schools was perfectly lawful and permissible"
 When Senuetor Poindexter read the letter his fellown mem bers of the com- mittee expressed amazement. They voted unanim ously to hold up action upon the coloners promotion untn they could summon the writer of the letter before them and obtain a more exhaustive statement as to the colo neIs utterances.
 senator Poindexter assured the committee that from inform aton m his possession he believed the charge would be substantiated.
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military affairs committee. said that If the charges against Colonel Relchmann were proved to be true the committee would report adverse ly as to his promotion, and. further, that the colonel undoubtedly would be relieved of his colonelcy and put out of the army.
 Until the committee has made it's investigation 1t is unfair to make any comment" said Senator Chamberlain
 But if we find the charges to be true, the war department, it seems to me. can do nothing less than drop Colonel Reichmann from the army"

Fish Have a Sense of Smell


A fish hasn't q nose, but it can smell. Re
cent experiments have proved this. What is
more, these experiments have proved that
odor travels through water, just as it does
through air. Anglers have laid so much stress
on the need of exciting a fshs interest by
the look of food that the effect of scent has
been overlooked. A shark will bite at hook
containing a piece of fat pork, although the
pork does not look like any kind Of fish that
swims the sea.
1t may be heresy in angling to suggest that
fly" should smell like fly. These scien-
tfc experiments show how large a part
smell plays in the food pursuit of fish. Bait,
such as small crabs, was found and eaten by
the fishes two or three times as rapidly when
the shells were broken. Bait placed inside a
gauze bag was smelled within three minutes
of being lowered in the water, and almost at
the same time all the fishes began nibbling
at the bag When cotton was stuffed into its
so-calcd "nostrils" the dogfsh would seldom
observe the food that came near them

A United Front

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In parallel columns this morning we
read that Women Mob the City Hall Crying
We're Starving!" and Congress Cuts OFF
the Funds for Food Inquiry"
If the City He'll or the state or the nation
finds it impossible to solve the problem of
the high cost of living. and if while commit
tees sit our friends starve, is it not proper
that we unite and make a stand?
We are at present in a crisis with for
eign government. We should be united in
every form and manner If our people are
starving, surely the cry of war will not unite
them There must be no basis of misunder-
standing if we are to present united front.
The high cost of foods is being discussed
everywhere but nothing is being accom-
plshed TO lower il. There must at once
be an orderly wise and efficient method
adopted and pursued to prevent the maniacs
from appealing to passion against reason
and again leading mob to our City Hall.
The mob in crisis may get beyond the con-
troll of even n national government
Is il not possible that there are enough
thoughtful, wise and clear minded men and
women in this city who will unite and help
the government to solve the problem that is
now before them? HENRY G.. SPECHT.

Room for Explanation

Mayor Mitchell points out that state con-
demnation of the land on Rockaway Point
which is to be transferred to the Federal
government for a fort will cost the city
for its proportion Of awards and conse-
ouential damages more than S1,OOO,OOO,
in addition to the land which the city
itself will give to the United States. This
is vastly more costly than the citys con-
tribution would have been under the orig
inal bill introduced by Senator Mills,
which Tammany Senators blocked on the
assertion that it covered some kind of
graft scheme. For this excess cost Sena-
tors Wagner and Foley, leaders in the OPP
position, must bear the responsibility.
1t is hard to believe, from the face of
the record. that there was not some politi-
cal motive behind that opposition. When
Senator Mills undertook to withdraw the
measure. Senator Wagner, fighting IT.,
changed his tactics and urged that it be
pressed to passage. and Senator Foley
threatened 10 reintroduce it if it were
withdrawn. Senator Boylan, another
Tammany Senator, refused to assent to
Senator Mils's request for unanimous
consent to its withdrawal. Yet when
Senator Browns condemnation bill was up
for passage yesterday not one of these
Senators voted against it.
There seems to be room for good deal
of explaining here. Either the original
bill was bad, as these Senators asserted,
in which case they should not have pro
tested against its withdrawal, or 1t was
good. in which case they should not have
opposed it, making necessary state seizure
of the land in question, with the saddlng Of
the heavy excess cost on the city. 1t would
be extremely unfortunate for any kind Of
graft scheme to be slipped through the
Legislature under cover of necessity for
preparation for defence. 1t would be
equally unfortunate if any attempt to play
partisan politics should be permitted to in
trude itself into legislative action, to this
city's financial loss.
