Good afternoon, did you eat any
wood for breakfast? No, how do you
know you didn't? Do you know that
they have started making sausage
castings out of wood in these United
States?
So when you speared that juicy
sausage this morning, you may have

the talked-of "saw-dust diet" may

GERMAN SPIES BUSY;
PLAN MUCH TROUBLE
MANY INTRIGUES IN UNITED
STATES ARE FOILED-ACTIV-
tiles IN SOUTH AMERICA ARE
BEING CLOSELY WATCHED.

The German plot to enlist Mexico
and Japan in war against the United
States, in case the American govern
ment should join the allies, is alleged
by well-in-formed persons to be only
one of many efforts of Germany to
make trouble for this country. In
fact, it is declared that a giant octo-
pus of German intrigue has long been
operating in the Western hemisphere,
and that it's tentacles have reached
into South America, into Cuba and
Hayti, have felt their way among
our own citizens, and have attempted
to wind themselves about the Mon
roe doctrine and pull it down.
When the president disclosed the
German-Mexican affair a few days
ago it was limited officially that there
were still other startling facts touch
ing our International relations and
connected with Germany that would
best not be revealed at this time, be-
cause they would tend to infame pub
lie opinion. 1t now seems inevitable,
however, that fairly complete story
of German activities against Ameri-
can interests will eventually become
known.
Plan Civil Revolution.
It is openly declared in Washing
ton that Germany plans to stir up a
revolution in the United States. Per-
haps not a military revolution, but a
civil revolution, which would seek to
thwart this government and might be
even more embarrassing than an
open rebellion.
The activity of German agents in
organizing propaganda covering the
entire country is said to have cost
the German government millions of
dollars and to have involved many
prominent Communications. The
organization of "Labor's Peace
Council" for instance, was discov-
cred and the movement failed. An
investigation developed the fact that
Capt. Franz Won Rintelen had turned
over to David Lamar, "the Wolf of
Wall Street." $250,000 to be used
in fomenting strikes in munitions
plants Only few days ago Consul
General Bopp, at San Francisco, was
convicted of plotting to dynamite
American industrial plants and ships
in American waters.
May Have Engineered Food Riots.
Even the recent food riots in east
ern cities are declared to have been
fomented with the aid of German
propagandists seeking to produce the
impression on the public mind that
there was a shortage of foodstuffs
and therefore need for an embargo
on the shipments of such supplies
to the allies. The chief of the New
York bureau of investigation, of the
department of justice, is understood
to have the names of three men who
were the center of this group of con-
spirators.
6rhese men, it is alleged, bought up
large part of the reserve supply of
potatoes and onions held by farmers
in Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Wyoming and other Middle Western
states. 1t was their intention, the
federal authorities were told, to hold
this supply until the beginning of the
new crop season. 1t is declared that

by a waterfront kamaaiana, W. Jar

Wyllie then visited the fort where
he conferred with Col Mahuka, who

to call all his men in line and then
asked for the best seaman among
them. From out Of the lines stepped
a former Waterman who was ordered
to climb the flag pole with a grease

that Mr.. Forbes should be granted d
