GERMAN TROUBLE-MAKERs IN THE
PHILIPPINES.

i Americans in the Philippines apparently place
small faith in the Germans including the sailors of
the interned ships The editor of the Iloilo Enter
prise Press touches up the situation as follows:
"Many comments have been made on our articles
as showing a heavy anti-German tendency. Since
every act of the sailors of the informed ships has
shown that they not only desired to create as much
damage possible to the ships but even attempted
to sink them in the fairway, we do not see how
any German or German sympathizer can complain
at our attitude. 1t is we'll known that many Ger.
man subjects and their sympahzers are trying their
best to create trouble both in Luzon apd the South
ern Isles, but the old saying, sLet him have rope
enough will surely come into effect and if only one
is taken in, there will be rounding up of ALL I'm
Gle Sam is easy until aroused but after that you
had better seek your caves for he is after you with
both feet and two guns and will get you"

MAKE YOURSELF
PRESENT OF $50
Easy to Do; Just Start a Vege-
table Garden and Reap
Your Reward

Everyone with strength enough to
lift hoe and a daily hour or so of
spare time, in the early morning or
late afternoon, is invited to make
himself a present of $50 or 500 this
spring in the form of the quantity of
vegetables fresh from the garden
which those sums will buy.
Previous experience not necessary.
The applicant may think that q hoe
is a printing press and spade some
thing needed to fill a flush, but if he
enlists in the food gardening move
ment and follows the instructions in
gardening which appear frequently in
the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH can
become a good gardener and make
himself the present aforesaid.
The instructions come from the
Government experts in Washington,
compiled and put into garden lessons
by the National Emergency Food
| Garden Commission which is a new
organization dedicated to the task of
creating 100000 new home garden
ers in American towns and cities this
spring when it is so hard for city
! dwellers to get food.
Thus every one who plants a gar

The gardener must not buy too lit

to such general matters of cultivation
as hoeing, wedding and watering.

to crawl out of his cave, and, looking
toward his bandaged foot, he was
shocked at the sight OF howlt had bled
while he slept.
Toward afternoon his restlessness in
creased, but he clung to his resolve to
lie still. BY evening he was burning
with thirst, and when morning came
after a feverish night, with his head
on fire and his mouth crusted dry, he
concluded rightly that one or both of
his wounds had become infected.
De Spain understood what it meant.
He looked regretfully at the injured
foot. Swollen out of shape and angry

galloped away into the night.
Stunned by this new misfortune, and
listening gloomily to the retreating
hoof-beats, De Spain pondered the stu
alton in which the disaster left him.
1t was the worst possible blow that
could have fallen, but fallen it had,
and he turned with such philosophy as
he could to complete the drink of water
that had probably cost him his life.
When he had slaked Il seemingly un-
Quenchable craving, he dashed the run
ming water, first with one hand and
then tho other over his face He tried
feebly to wash away some of the alkali
that had crusted over the wound in the
front of his head and was stinging and
burning in it. There was now moth
ing to do but to secrete himself until
daylight and wait till help should reach

him to seek it.
Meanwhile, the little stream beside
him offered first aid. He tried it with
his foot and found it slight and shall
low, albeit with n rocky bed that made
wading in his condition difficult. But
he felt so much better he was able to
attempt this, and, keeping near to one
side of the current, he began to follow
it slowly upstream. The ascent was
ut times precipitous, which pleased
him, though it depleted his new
strength. 1t was easy in this way to
hide his trail, and the higher and fast.

tains the safer he would be from any
Calabasas pursuers. When he had re-
gained a little strength and oriented
himself, he could quickly get down into
the hills.
Animated by these thoughts, he held
his way upstream, hoping at every
step to reach the gorge from which
the flow issued. He would have known
this by the sound of the falling water,
but weakening soon, he found he must
abandon hope of getting up to 1t. How
ever, by resting and scrambling up
the rocks, he kept on longer than he
would have believed possible Encoun-

ward, ledge and a clump of bushes,
he crawled weakly on hands and knees
into 1t, too spent to struggle farther,
stretched himself on the f1attened
brambles and sank into q heavy sleep.
He woke in broad daylight. Con-
sciousness returned slowly and he
raised himself with pain from his
rough couch. His wounds were stiff,
and he lay for long time on his back
looking up Mt the sky. At length he
dragged himself to an open space near
where he had slept and looked about.
He appeared to be near the foot of
mountain quite strange to him, and in
rather an exposed place. He clambered
a hundred feet above where he had
slept before he found hiding place.
1t was at the foot of tiny waterfall
where the brook, striking n ledge of
granite, had patiently followed out
shallow pool. Beside this great mass
of frost-btten rock had fallen, and one
OF the powders lay tilted in such q
way as to roof in a sort of cave. the
entrance to which was not higher than
mans knee. De Spain crawled into
this refuge.

height had started the ruptured artery

STRIKES IN 1916

Washington, d. c., April II. -
There were $3.50 strikes and 10S
lockouts during 1916 in the United
States. Probably there we're more
strikes than in 1915, although there
were less lockouts. The employers
won in All and the employees in 706
strikes, 20 were arbitrated and 542
compromised. Practically every oc-
cupation was involved somewhere.
1915" says an expert of the Federal
Bureau of Labor Statistics, win long
be remembered as the year of strikes.
The scarcity of labor and the rapid
increase in the cost of living seem to
have caused wage-earners to feel that
they were not getting their share of
the present prosperity and to show
their discomfort by striking. Higher
wages and shorter hours were the
causes OF two-thirds of the strikes
last year. while q large proportion of
the remainder was due to causes
connected with unionization."

Mquet, ne SucCeeueu III checking pretty
well the squirting flow that was sap
ping his strength. After he had adj
Justed the bandage he stood up and
looked at it.
Then he drew his revolver again and
broke it. He found five empty shells
in the chambers and threw them away.
The last cartridge had not been fired.
He could not even figure out how he
had happened to have six cartridges in
the cylinder, for he rarely loaded more
than five. Indeed, it was his fixed
habit-to avoid accidents-never to
carry q cartridge under the hammer
of his gun-yet now there had been
one. Without trying to explain the
circumstance, he took fresh stock of
his chances md began to wonder
whether he M ct yet escape and live.
He climbed again into the saddle,
and, riding to ridge, looked carefully
over the desert. 1t was with an effort
that he could steady himself, and the
extent of his weakness, surprised him.
What further perplexed him as he
crossed long divide, got another good
view and saw no pursuit threatening
in any direction, was to identify the
country he was in. The only landmark
anywhere in sight that he could recog-
nize was Music mountain. This now
lay to the northwest, and he knew he
must be long way from any country
he was familiar with. But there was
no gainsaying, even in his confused
condition, Music mountain. After
looking at it long time he headed
with some hesitation cautiously toward
1t, with intent to intercept the first
him toward Sleepy Cat.
AS his eyes continued to sweep the
horizon he noted that the sun was
down and 1t was growing dark. He
was aware at intervals that he was
steadying himself like drunken man.
His efforts to guide the horse only be-
wildered the beast, and the two tray
eled on maudlin curves and doubled
back on their track until De Spain de-
cided that his sole chance of reaching
any known trail was to let go and give
the horse his head. A period of uncon-
sciousness, blank In De Spuin's mind,
soon followed, How long he rode In
this way, or how far, he never knew.
He was reused to consciousness by the
unaccustomed sound of running water
underneath his horses feet.
1t was pitch dark everywhere. The
horse after the hard experience of the
evening was drinking welcome draft.
De Spain had no conception of where
he could be, but the stream told him he
had somehow reached the range,
though Music mountain itself had been
swallowed up In the night. A sudden
and uncomfortable thirst seized the
wounded man. He could hear the wa
ter falling over the stones and climbed
slowly and painfully out of the saddle
to the ground. With the lines in his
left hand he crawled toward the water
and, lying fiat on the ground beside the
horse, put his head down to drink. The
horse, meantime, satisfied, lifted his
head with a gulp, rinsed his mouth,
and pulled backward. The lines
slipped from De Spain's hand. Alarmed,
the weakened man scrambled after
them. The horse, startled, shied, and
before his rider could get to his feet
scalppered off in trot. While De
Spain listened in CONSERVATION, the es-
capped horse falling into an easy stride.

looking, the mere appearance would
have told him, had the confirmation
been needed, that his situation was
becoming critical. This did not so
much disconcert him as 1t surprised
him and spurred him mentally to the
necessity of new measures. He lay q
long time thinking. Against the infec-
ton he could do little. But the one
aid at his hand was abundance of cold
water to drink and bathe his wound In,
and to this he resolved now to drag
himself. TO crawl across the space
that separated him from the pool re-
qulred all the strength he could sum-
mon. The sun was already well up
and its rays shot like spectrum arrows
through the spray of the dainty cat
aract, which spurted In Il jeweled sheet
over a rocky ledge twenty feet above
and poured no!slly down from the
broad pool along Jagged powders be-
low.

showdown with Henry de Spain. AS
near as l can make out from all the
talk that's floating around, what fooled
them was seeing him shoot at mark
here one day in Sleepy Cat"
Jeffries didn't interrupt, but he
slapped his knee sharply.
"You might just as we'll try to stand
on box of dynamite, and shoot into
it, and expect to live to tell it," con-
tinued Scott mildly, "as to shoot into
that fellow in room with closed doors
and expect to get away with it. The
only way the bunch can ever kill that
man, without getting killed themselves,
is to get him from behind; and at that,
John, the man that fires the gum" MUIR
INJURED the scout, "ought to be behind a
tree.
You say he is hit. I grant it," he
concluded. "But I knew him once,
when he was hit, to lie out in the bush
for a week. He got cut off once from

a scrlmmage outside Williams Cache

mot till I see him dccd," persisted
Scott unmoved.
De Spain, when he climbed into Sas.
soon's saddle, was losing sight and
consciousness. lie knew he could no
longer defend himself, and was so
faint that only the determination of
putting distance between him and any
pursuers held him to the horse after
he spurred away. With the instinct of
the hunted, he fumbled with his right
hand for his means of defense, and
was relieved to find his revolver, after
his panlcky dash for safety, safe in It's
place. He put his hand to his belt for
fresh cartridges. The belt was gone.
The discovery sent shock through
his falling faculties. He could not
recollect why he had no belt. Believ-
Ing his senses trlcked him, he felt
again and again for 1t before he would
believe 1t was not buckled somewhere
about him. But 1t was gone, and he
stuck back In his waistb - his useless
revolver. One hope remalncd-flight,
and he spurred his horse cruelty.
Blood running continually into his
eyes from the wound In his head made
him think his eyes were gone, and dl-
rectlon was a thing quite beyond his
power of compass. He made little eff
fort to guide, and his lnfurlated horse
flew along us If winged.
A warm, sticky feeling In his right
boot warned him, when he tried to
make some mental inventory of his
condition, of at least one other wound.
He could not see twenty feet ahead or
behind. Even when he hurrledly wiped
the cloud from his eyes his vision
seemed to have failed, and he could
only cling to his horse to put the miles
as fast as possible between himself
and more of the Morgans.
A perceptible weakness presently
| forced him to realize he must look to
his wounded foot. Before he slackened
speed he tried to look behind to recon
hotter. With relief he perceived his
sight to be trlfle better, and In scan
ming the horizon he could discover NO
pursuers. Choosing a secluded spot
he dismounted, cut open his boot, and
found that a bullet, passing down
ward, had torn an artery under the
arch Of the foot, Making q rude tour.
