Berlin.-After a desperate fight
from the battle front, Adolph Rug

was sent to the trenches few months
ago, has been killed near Neustadt,
Holstein, by the bullet of land
sturner. ~" .'F.
The young man, who had been an
inmate of rcformatory before he was
drafted for the army, tried to desert
two days after his arrival at the front
in France, but was quickly recaptured
and sent to outer trenches as pun
ishment. r. +5.' D..
After spending three weeks under
the fire of the French guns he, de-
serted again. Armed with two army
revolvers, he sneaked away from the
front and tried to reach Holland
through Belgium. When he found this
impossible he attempted to get to Den
mark.
Walking at night and begging his
food at isolated farm houses, the de-
serter got to Holstein, but In Neu-

Eutin, where he was to be locked up,
he jumped from the train and made

Horse Meat May Now BE Sold

Portland. Ore.-Jackass, mule, don.
key, burro and horse meat may now
be sold in Portland meat markets. The
city council has adopted an ordinance
providing for the inspection Of these
meats and for the regulation of their
sale. 7#7 ALL.
The meat must be plainly labeled
with letters at least one inch high and
must be inspected by the regular meat
inspectors of the city.
AS adopted the ordinance says Dob
bin and Billy and Maud. before being
sold to the housewife, must undergo
thorough inspection and be labeled
"horse," "mule," goat" or "jackass,"
as the case may be.
The first horse-meat market has
been opened and the first shipment Of
% wild-range mustangs, rounded up by
Indians in eastern Oregon, has been re-
ccived, with more to follow If the de-

BREAD AS AN ECONOMY FOOD
Would Be Used In Place Of More Ex.
pensive Substances II It Were
Baked Well In Home.

If home-baked bread were uniform
~ well made it would be used more ex-
tensively than at present in place Of
more expensive foods, say specialists
in Uncle Sans department of agricul.
ture, and this would be distinct
economy. From the standpoint of nu-
triton it makes very little difference
whether breadstuffs are served in the
form of bread or in the form Of break
fast cereals, side dishes with meat,
or desserts.
A man engaged in moderate muscu-
lar work can profitably consume about
three-fourths of pound a day OF
breadstuffs in any one Of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent OF one
pound of baked bread. AS matter Of
fact, however, it is not probable that
in the average family this quantity is
consumed and the deficiency is made
up by the use of more expensive sub.
stances. OF course, bread alone is not
Sufficient for the maintenance Of
health, but from both an economical
and hygienic point of view should
be used more extensively than it usu'.

FO[EY'S HOME
COMING PROVES
PLEASING EVENT

The Homecoming of North Dakota S
poet laureate proved a delightful
event at the Auditorium last evening.
The reception would have been more
general but for lowering skies and
the threat of storm, which develop.
ed just as the people were planning
to leave for the theatre.
The poet, who will ever be Jimmy
Foley to the hundreds Of friends
whom he made in Bismarck during
his many years residence here, made
an excellent impression. the moment
he stepped out to the footlights. In
an easy, confidential vein, he talked
to his audience OF early days in North
Dakota, and Of the war and Of things
in general, and stray bits of poetry
and sketches were introduced so
smoothly that the audience did not
always know when extempore mono.
logue left off and the set part Of the
program began.
Hearty applause greeted each sepa-
rate number, and although the poet
talked for an hour, no one was ready
to say goodbye when he bowed him
self from the stage. His selections
were humorous, witty and inspira-
tional A majority Of them conveyed
a real message and left something
for his hearers to take home with
them. Foley as an entertainer ranks
with any platform artist who has ever
appeared at the Auditorium, and the
evening, even though the audience
was not so large as the excellence
of the program merited, was COM
plete success from an artistic stand
point.

PAINT TO DEADEN ToRPEDoEs
St. Louis inventor Claims to Have
Perfected Competition Which Makes
r Submarines Harmless.

/ st. Louis, Mo.-A paint against
which torpedoes fired byfa submarine
or other warships will not explode is
said to have been invented by St.
Louis man, whose name is withheld.
This paint, the inventor claims, will
make ships invulnerable to subma-
rines. 2sar.2s <,45t
In a test on a nearby lake mini.
allure torpedo, foot long, was fired
forty times into the preparation, it is
said, and failed to explode.
The preparations composition is a
secret. When soft-nosed torpedo
strikes this coating, it is said to dead
en- the chemicals in head of the tor
pedo. The chemicals in the head Of
the torpedo send electric currents
along wires in the center Of the tor
pedo, which ignite the explosives in
the rear. If the chemicals In the head
are deadened the torpedo fails to ex.
plode. ~
The inventor, through his attorneys,
will bring the plant to the attention OF
the navy department at Washington.

. Experiment on Barley .
as Wheat Substitute

Madison, Wis.-Barley muf-
fins, barley bread, barley break
fast food and barley cakes may
become as common on our la
bles as white bread, graham
. mullins and oatmeal, according
to the results of experiments
now being carried on by the
war research committee of the
. home economics department Of
+ the University of Wisconsin.
In seeking cereals to relieve
the wheat shortage the depart
+ ment found that the food and
commercial value of barley
/ made it advisable to begin re-
! search along lines that would
conserve the barley industry Of
Wisconsin, while at the same
time bringing about economical
results for the housewife.
Wisconsin, according to re-
cent statistics, produces one
eighth of the barley crop in the
United States.

could be no more monstrous Of

his Government for money to
use in influencing Congress a.
gainSt the President, against
the Government, against the
people. Yet the German in Bue-

eminent to sink Argentine ships
without leaving a trace and the
German in the City of Mexico
who used Sweden as a go-be-

offense against the Mexican
Government were one in spirit
and practice with this German

sought to control our policy by
the use of German money. There

Won BERNsToRFF's GUILT

The offense of Won Bernstorf
is fragrant and infamous because
his rank and privileges of the
high Office he held put upon him
the obligation to be a gentleman
and an honest man, they should
have made it impossible for him
to be a German spy and secret
plotter against the interests of
the State to which he was ac-
credited. An Ambassador is the
personal representative of his
sovereign. In former days he was
entitled to the honor of making
ceremonial entry into the capt.
tai which was to be his resi-
dence. He has the right to a per-
sonal interview with the head of
the State. though in our diplo-
matte practice that is not neces-
sary. In the Washington order
of precedence he follows the
President himself, the Secreta-
ny of State comes after him. It
is, indeed, a very exalted Office,
and when the Ambassador of a
great empire descends to ignoble
treacheries, to the debasing and
sneaking arts of the conspirator
and spy, the fall is a terrible
one. He smirches the good name
OF his sovereign unless there be
an instant disclaimer and exem-
plary punishment. There is NO
