BurIeson's Happy Thought

Postmaster general Bueson has conceived good little
idea for the pleasure OF American troops in France, show
ing that his heart in the night place the thought would
have occurred him. He has ordered pOsmasters to
send to the forces in France undevered magazines and
periodicals of every kind which accumulate their offices
and also provide similarly for troops the canton
ments and tent camps IN the country.
"In the big posoffces of the country writes the post
master general, there continually accumulates large
quantity Of deliverable and returnabe periodical
literature monthly magazines and weekly periodicals Of

Do Not Believe Their Men Are
MuIcted for 120 Per Cent
Interest a Year

Both Fire Chief Charles Thurston
and Sheriff Charles Rose are 10th to
believe that many. or even any OF
their men are involved in the tolls OF
loan sharks and forced to pay interest
of 12O per cent year, with no lessen
ing of the principal, as was stated last
week by Noa w. Aluli at meeting OF
the civil service commission.
The sheriff intimated yesterday that
he did not believe any Of his force
of men were so foolish as to pay such
a high rate of interest, and that they
all knew it was illegal to collect 1t.
He also asserted that he does not be-
Iieve the loan sharks are so powerful
or numerous as had been represented.

The head of the fire department
says that personally he knows Of no
man on his force who has secured
loans from anyone who could be
termed q loan shark, although he was
informed by Commissioner Aluli that

he knew of two such firemen. The
fire chief remarked that IF there are
two firemen of whom Aluli knows are
entangled with loan sharks, they must
be all there are"
Chief Thurston affirms his interest
in any practical movement that could
be taken to advance money to the
firemen with which they could pur-
chase their own homes. But he feels
that the men themselves need to take
some start towards becoming home
owners before they are worthy of out
side aid.
while my men are steady, reli-
able workers, it is my experience in
handling men that you can, only help
the fellow who helps himself" he
says. He goes on to add that there
is no question that the home owner
undoubtedly makes a better citizen,
feels like he had more responsibility
in life, and takes more interest in his
work.
of some practical method can be
arrived at to make loans at equitable
rates of interest to the firemen and
policemen it would certainly have my
support and encouragement Chief
Thurston declared in conclusion.

SMITH PAINTINGS
viewed BY MANY

Many visitors daily have called at
the Pan-Pacific building to see the
paintings by Twigg Smith, who is to
leave in two weeks for New York on
his way 20 service at the front In
France.
Smiths work is full of interest, and
his efforts to interpret the islands In
line and color have met with an un.
usual measure of success. A number
of sales have been made to art lovers
and collectors who believe that the
value Of Twigg Smiths name on a
canvas will increase with the years,
whether he is so fortunate as to re,
turn from the great struggle or not.
Smith pays his own expenses from the
islands to France, and the sum real.
lied from sales during the exhibition
will be devoted to that end. For this
cause the prices of the paintings have
been set at a low figure.
The exhibition will be open daily
until next Thursday, July 26, from IL
tc and 1880 to $780,.

ALLEGED PL0TTER SAYS .
ARMY MAN HIS BROTHER

Scion C. Leonhauser, Buddhist priest
and philosopher, who with his wife
was indicted recently by the federal
grand jury at San Francisco in the
German conspiracy case, claims to be
a brother of Mai, Harry A. Leon
haeuser Of the United States army,
retired, according to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Mai. Leonhaeuser, whose name is
spelled differently from that of the
arrested priest, was formerly with the
25th Infantry. He was retired at his
own request on October 81. 1908.
Seated in the office of United
States Marshal James B. Holohan,"
says the Chronicle, "Leonhauser pre-.
scented a striking appearance. He has
a long, flowing beard and is past SO"
The Leonhausers were arrested at
their home 1243 Eddy street, and are
accused of being the link between
the Hindoos and German plotters in
San Francisco in the conspiracy to
aid the kaiser by withdrawal of Brit
ish troops from European battlefronts
to put down the revolt in India.

ALCOHOL Is HELD WITHOUT
VALUE AS STIMULANT

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Alcohol is
wholly without drug value, either as
a tonic or stimulant, or in any other
therapeutic way. It has no food value
and no value in the treatment of dis
ease. It's only permissible use in
medicine is as a preservative or in
the preparation of pharmaceutical
products.
This is the sense of the council
of health and public instruction of
the American Medical association, it

WORKINGS OF The GERMAN SPY
SYSTEM Barred BY NORTHCLIFFE
Methods By Which Secrets Of Enemy
Nations Are Stolen Revealed By Editor

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 6
Lord Northcliffe, head OF the British
missions in this country. today al
thorized publication OF parts OF a con
fidential speech on spies and censor
ship made TO the National Press CLUB
July 4 He described the work %
spies in England and the flood o
fatal information that pours over tn"
cables through neutral countries II
Germany, and spoke OF the dangers OF
any except technical military and
naval censorship of the press. Only
ON two occasions in the last month,
Lord Northcliffe said, had he seen
anything published in American news
papers that might have been OF value
to the enemy.
The address follows:
What does not seem TO be under
stoodstood here and what We did not
understand at the beginning OF the
war Is that the really deadly high eX-
plosiVe news is not newspaper news,
but the news sent out by spies in
code to neutral countries for trans
mission to Germany.
Spies Get News Easily
at Is not difficult for spies to get
news. Their task is the delivery Of
the goods and on that task they con-
centrate.
Il do not know whether you have
q mail censorship on letters to Spain,
but l venture to think that II you
have not and start opening letters to
that country you will get as rich q
haul Of information as our secre:
