ing changes and conditions in Germany
it is interesting, of course, to learn from
Copenhagen that "a strong strain of re.
ligious devotion, verging on religious
mysticism, is one of the outstanding
characteristics of DIR. Michaelis, the new
German chancellor" He believes in "the
direct guidance and inspiration of the
Deity in daily affairs and endesvors to
base his actions and policy upon his in
depreciation of the divine will"
knowing what~strongly devout states
men have done through inspiration" in
the famous and infamous wars of his
tory. there is nothing in the Copenhagen
tale to make us believe that the good DIR.
Michaelis will attempt to convince the
kaiser and his fellow Huns that they
must abandon their hope of conquering
the world and collecting indemnities
from a consolidated civilization. But
there is a glimmer of light in the pos
sibility that Michaelis' direct guidance"
will collide with the kaiser's direct guild
ance and partnership, and that, mas
much as each of them will be engaged
in interpreting the divine win according
to his own inspiration, they win be
brought under restraint and "a vein Of
mysticism" which finds vent
in pillage, rspine and torture win be
made perfectly innocuous. Boston Trav-

SOUTH DAKOTA MINES
Produced s7,4oo,4so in Gold and 21s.2o1
Ounces of Silver.

South Dakota mines in 1918 produced
81, 460, 4s9 in gold, 2l5,2Ol ounces of sill
yer, and 35,406 pounds of lead, with a
total value of 1904 ,534, which was a
small increase over the production of
1915 and the largest output since 1912.
The output for the first six months OF
1917, according to Charles w. Hender-
son of the United States geological sur
vey, indicates that for the whole year
1917 there will probably be reduction
of 100000 in gold, as the Wasp No. 2
and the New Reliance mines and mills,
both closed at the end of 1916. were idle
during the first six months of 1917 and
probably will not resume operations dur
ing this year. Work will probably not
be resumed at the Bismarck mine and
mill, idle since 1914. The high price of
machinery, zinc and chemicals necessary
in the cyanide process and reduction of
the cyanide precipitates to bullion may
force some of the other properties to
close before the end of 1917. The Home
stake mines and mills, which produce the
bulk of the production of the Black Hills
district, South Dakota, have been oper-
ated continuously, with regular output,
during the first six months of 1917, and
unless the labor situation interferes will
probably continue steadily throughout
the year.

of new tokens of wealth (bonds), and
the spending of these billions serves to
put more credit and money into crcula-
ton. This stimulates industry, initiates
wages and raises prices, yet the margin
in most cases is higher than in normal
times, so that the thrifty who benefit
from war wages can and do save distinct
ly more than is possible during peace.
The rich likewise stop paying hundreds
of thousands of dollars for additions to
their picture galleries, their art collec.
tions, their tapestries, knick .knacks, etc.
Prominent European families have part
ed with many famous pictures, porce-
lains, worries and herlooms to rich Amer
leans during the last two years, but even
our wealthiest families are now feeling
the pinch of taxation to an extent that
chils their enthusiasm for art objects
costing fortunes. Abroad, as here, the
financial burden of the war is falling
heavily on those best able to bear it, the
wealthy.

KILLS COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.
Senate Tentatively Votes Business Men
from Purchasing Boards.

Washington, July l0,--After weeks
discussion and in beginning to vote on
amendments TO the food control bill the
Senate yesterday tentatively adopted,
"a to IL, substitute amendment by
Senator Pomefene of Ohio, prohibiting
government agents, including national
defense council advisory members, from
executing government contracts in which
they are personally interested.
The revised food control bill is de.
signed TO solve the Senate's troubles over
the legislation.
A spirited contest was promised over
the bills new proposals for limited gov
eminent control of food, feed and fuel
and for special food administration
board. Many senators planned to de-
mand extension of government control to
include iron and steel also and food
board of five members, instead of three
was proposed.
Despite this, however sentiment was
general in the Senate yesterday that the
revised bill would meet most objections
and insure its passage.
The measure was evolved in confer
ences of Senate Democratic and Repub.
lican leaders.

taries of war and commerce in fixing

BUY RIPE PRODUCTS
And Then Hurry Them to the Canning
Centers.

"A million dollars worth of fruits and
vegetables in the markets Of the country
every day this summer must go one OF
two ways before sunset" said Charles
Bathrop Pack, president of the national
emergency food garden commission OF
Washington, to-day. "Those two ways
are to the garbage pail or to canning
and drying center and there should be
quick action to avoid the former.
Ninety per cent of market produce
which is very ripe or slightly bruised
can, therefore, be kept and be canned or
dried by the housewife if she can get it
in time. Therefore, in the name of the
boys who are going to the front, who
will have to be fed, urge the organiza-
ton in every community of round up
squad TO make tour of the markets, buy
up this product cheaply and rush it to a
canning and drying center, where it may
be saved for winter use.
81 was astonished," continued Mr..
Pack, who made tour Of New York
markets to-day, ito see the enormous
of fruit and vegetables that
may be obtained in this way at a price
below the market quotations. One or
ganization here has grasped this oppor-
tunity-an opportunity that should be-
made the most of all over the country.
This organization is the Junior league,
which has opened canning kitchen I'M

are buying up the very ripe or slightly
bruised but perfectly good produce and
rushing it to headquarters. Here a staff

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGTH.
American People Have Barely Touched
Their Resources.

Two billion dollars is a tremendou:
Pile have loaned their government that
much and have barely touched their re-
sources. The money was raised so cas-
lily it only seemed to show the tremen-
dous financial strength of the country.
1t is not one tenth of our bank depos-
it's 1t is less than one-eighth of our
bank loans for one year. 1t was less
than one-half Of our national savings for
1916 and only per cent of our national
income for that year, according to esti-
mates.
Not only is this first Liberty loan
bond issue of two billion dollars much
larger than the initial loans of any of
the other nations engaged in the war but
it was raised in much less time with
much less effort and was subscribed to
by vastly greater number of indiyid
uals; this too when danger was far from
us and the nation in calm frame of
mind.
The coming second issue of Liberty
loan bonds, with the great mass of the
people of the country much better edu-
Gated as to government bond issues and
government finances in general, it is rea-
sonsble to suppose, will be disposed of
with even greater success than the initial
issue.
The oyer,subscription to the initial is
sue of over billion dollars augurs well
for the success of the next loan. There
are several millions more investors in
government bonds in America than there
were month ago. Then there were
some three hundred thousand holders of
United States bonds; now there are over
four million. And the thrill of the
thought of our soldiers in France viii |

Capt Hinsch was the agent who han.
died the American end of the several
trips of the merchant submarine Deutsch-
land. He OWNED the trend of events
before President Wilson called the war
session of Congress and through Dutch
interests obtained the schooner Wanola,
which was lying in Boston harbor The
ship was taken to South Amboy for
repairs"
When war was declared and the round
up of German agents was begun Capt.
Hinsch was missing. So was the Wano-
la. Since then no word was received
from him until yesterday, when he man
aged in some way to communicate with
friends in Baltimore that he was back
on German soil.
1t is believed that Capt. Hinsch, who
took but three men with him to man Che
schooner, went TO the submarine lane,
waited for U-boat to approach, flashed
it code signal and was taken aboard.
Capt. Hinsch was regarded as one of
the most intelligent of the German
agents in this country. He handled the
arrivals of the Deutschland at both New
London and Baltimore and was thought
to be one of the most important Teuton
officers in the United States. !

Kerensky Foils the Rioters,
Who Reach the Railway
Station Too Late
MORE DISTURBANCES
IN PETROGRAD CITY
Soldiers and Workmen Fire
Shots and Wound Sew
eral Persons

London, July l9.--Russia's crisis has
been further complicated by a bold at
tempt of the Maximalists TO kidnap A
F. Kerensky, minister OF war, who is
the moving spirit of the new Russia
and the swift and deadly foe of the
pro.German intrigue.
Dispatches from Petrogrsd say that in
the recent riots after the firing in the
Nevsky Prospect, soldiers, sailors and
civilian Maximalists, heavily armed, ter
rorized part of the city as they dashed
about in automobiles.
Six of these armed motor cars rushed
to the Warsaw railroad station to in
tercept Minister Kerepsky, who was
known to be leaving for the front. The
war minister escaped them by only a
few minutes.
AS to the origin of the new troubles
of the provisional government, the Reu-
ter Petrograd correspondent says:
'The Maximalist leaders tried to pro-
woke mutiny in the Petrograd garri-
son Monday in consequence of reports
that measures had been taken against
some regiments at the front which had
been insubordinate. The attempts at
the outset met with little success, but
gradually some of the soldiers were won
over"
bofr ~
when one regiment, bearing arms con-
trary to the standing order OF the work
mems and soldiers council marched
through the Nevsky Prospect toward the
Duma building. Then firing became gen
eral throughout the whole section from
the City hall to the Kazan cathedral.
The firing ceased in few minutes,
the soldiers dispensing and apparently
starting for the barracks A dozen or
more victims were taken to the Anglo
Russian hospital. There was a later

liers and workingmen.
At the bottom of the outbreak was
