WHO IS THE SPY?

Some one with access to the conf
Dental files of the Navy department
or in a position where he can learn
the innermost secrets of the Secretary
and his immediate aides, is German
spy.
By some method not yet ascertain
ed this person is keeping the German
admiralty Informed of every move
made by the fleet of this country. He
told them when the transports left
this country with General Pershing's
men and jsut exactly where and
when the Navy Department had ap-
pointed a rendezvous for the ships to
meet the full naval convoy. 1t was
not a case of one meeting, but two,
and strong fleets of U-boats were
waiting at both places for two con-
tingents of transports.
Congress, aided by every agency
of government, is to make a supreme
effort to discover the spy and ascer-
tain the present method of communi
cation.

II. H.S.NALENTlHE

Columbus, O., Dec. 22.-Franklin
county farmers are back of Unc:e
Sam heart and soul and pocketbOok.
H. Sage Valentine proved it and he's
ready to prove it again. And they're
just as patriotic in every other coun.
ty in the United States when they
find out what is needed says Valen-
tine.
Valentines proof consisted of sell.
ing over million dollars worth Of the
second issue of Liberty Loan bonds
to farmers who invested only $1,000 in
sthe first issue.
Explain what Uncle Sam wants
from the farmer and then leave it to
the farmer is Valentines theory. On
this theory he perfected his machin-
cry.
: When the Central Liberty Loan COM
mittee drafted Valentine to take
charge Of the campaign outside of the
city of Columbus, they ordered him to
sell $4,000 worth of bonds-and pre-.
dicted he'd fail
Valentine drafted a bunch of speak
ers who knew what was wanted and
could tell it.. He arranged meetings
aud sent out the speakers. They ex.
planned the loan, all about it, and
what was needed.
There the speakers work ended.
The farmers organized by electing
five committeeman in each of the 1S
townships. One was chosen town.

ONLY one IN 1000
FARMERS HAS SEED
ENOUGH FOR NEEDS

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 22.-Only
one of the 1000 farmers replying to
INQUIRIES of the Federal Reserve bank
of Minneapolis has as much as 15O
bushels OF seed corn, enough to plant
900 acres, according to John H. Rich.
chairman. As a result he has asked
David F. Houston, secretary of agri'
culture, If his department will favor
federal aid for the financing OF next
years crop in the northwest.
Much corn that would have made
rood seed was left standing moist In
he shock, absorbed additional moist
ure during the foggy weather OF No
yember and froze during the recent
cold weather. Hence its seed value
has been destroyed, Mr.. Rich says.
He added that unless there Is IN
exhaustive effort to locate good seed
corn there may not be enough to
plant a normal acreage in the north
west corn states next year. An ar
rangement has been made to consoli.
late and classify reports received by
the reserve bank so that districts
which have no seed may have inform
alton as to banks and individuals that
will assist them in making purchases

ST ZEN THROWS
GAUNTLET DOWN
TO K0SITZKY
Says That He Is Not a Real
Watchdog Of the State
Treasury.
REFUSES TO TRANSFER
$500 FOR CLERK HIRE

John Steen, state treasurer, has re-
fused to honor $500 warrant drawn
on the state treasury by Karl r
Kositzky. Mr.. Steen states that this
warrant is issued for the purpose OF
transferring this amount from the con
tingent fund to special clerk-hire
fund for the state auditors office.
He declines to make the transfer
because in his opinion no emergency
exists which justified the action OF
the Emergency Commission in author.
izing the transfer. He believes the
transfer would be contrary to the bud
get law. In commenting on his &C
ton, Mr.. Steen issued the following
statement to the press: .r
"The impression seems to be gen
eral that Mr.. Kositzky, the present
state auditor, is regular watchdog
of the treasury Of the state, when II
comes to scrutinizing expenditures OF
the peoples money. He has among
other great economic principles dis
covered that money does not grow on
trees and that the money which comes
into the state treasury comes from
the toll of the masses, etc.
"Now as to his own expenditures,
as state auditor he does not appear
to have shown the same economy as
he would lead the people to believe
that he uses when it comes to scrut.
inixing bills contracted by other de-
partments.
For instance, during the year 1916
Carl o. Jorgenson paid out for clerk
hire for the state auditors office the
sum of $6,64429. During the year OF
1917, Mr.. Karl r. Kositzky, the pres
ent state auditor has expended for
clerk-hire in connection with the state
auditors office the sum Of $1O,478.99
True economy should begin at
home, but then 1t was always easier to
prescribe Economy for the Other Eel
low than for ones self"
kositzI<y Came Back.
State Auditor Kositzky no sooner
had received and digested his letter
from the state treasurer this after
noon until he came back with q de-
mand on Mr.. Steen to account for
interest collected, II any, on deposits
which mutual insurance companies
under the law, are required to make
with the state treasurer. Mr. kOsitz
Ky believes about $1,000 in interest Is
due the state from this source, and
he asks Mr.. Steen to explain what has
been done in connection with 1t.

The units were designated religious

its efforts on the churches, the IRA

Thus Valentine had $3.50 persons or
ganized so that he was in touch with
every detail.
Valentines staff prepared notices Of
meetings, secured speakers and other
features when needed and supplied
them to the officers in the townships
Moving pictures helped. Personal
work did too.
Valentine kept his organization full
of pep, by mailing out daily bulletins

"Over the million mark" is how

DONE IN ART

With the American Army in
France, Thursday, Dec. 20.-The
great bulk of the American expe-

marine attack forced the ship
which was carrying cranberries to

known circumstances two ships
which were carrying the supplies
of turkey left the United States so
late that it was impossible for
them to arrive in France in time.
The turkeys which already have
arrived in the army zone were
left over from Thanksgiving, as
was the mincemeat which has
been received. This supply, how
ever, will 60 an extremely short

GOVERNMENT SPRINGS COUP
Seizes Letters Written in Invisi-
bic |nk-Many Are
Dangerous.

Washington, Dec. 22.-An extensive
traffic in written communications to
Germany, Austria and the northern
European neutrals, involving use Of
invisible ink and code systems, has
been discovered and stopped by cus.
toms officials within the last few
weeks, treasury officials disclosed to-
day. \.
Traffic Disclosed.
The traffic, it was disclosed, was
carried on largely by Swedish ship
and marine men.
Scores OF persons now are under
surveillance and number OF arrests
probably will be made soon. Evil
dence that the channel of communica-
tions have been open ever since the
United States entered the war has
been uncovered and officials suspect
that much Of the information which
the German government is known to
have received concerning war prepar-
ations in America has been transmit
ted, under we'll organized scheme,
tries assisted by some Americans.
Twenty per cent OF the letters writ
ten in the United States or on ship
board and heretofore sent to Europe
by messenger or by member Of the
ships crew, has been found to bear
messages in invisible ink or to con-
tain code or cryptic phrases, suspect
ed of holding hidden meaning. -4
Disclosures were made by officials
after pronfulgation several weeks ago
of regulations under the Trading with
the Enemy Act, forbidding transmits
sion of communications to or from the
United States through the regular
courses of the mails or under licenses
of the customs authorities and the
War Trade Board.
|p .,yor Letters Discovered. ,f -.
When, the rules were established, a
strict system of inspection OF ships,
their crew, and cargOes was begun,
and the dangerous nature of many
communications found on shipboard
was Immediately discovered.
This action, taken suddenly without
notice to the crews, caused the dis-
covery of many letters which here
tofore have been successfully con-
cealed. These were subjected to ex-
animation by chemists and code ex-
perts, and one in five was found sus-
piciOus.
Most messages in invisible ink ap-
parently were only personal COM
munications from persons in the Unit
ed States to friends or relatives In
Germany, and although specifically
they bore no evidence of carrying val
liable information to the enemy, they
we're held up on the ground that they
might be dangerous.
Government agents have gathered
evidence that certain persons In this
country, many OF whom are Swedes or
Norwegians. have conducted money

countries of to Germany at high
prices. BY this means, the Briti' h
