Gertrude Kerstner entertained the
Junior class. The evening was
spent by playing games and music.
Every one reported great time.
A letter was received from Arnc
Ponder and Fred Richmond to the
D. H. s. Students. These boys are
serving as National guards at Fort
Sill, Oklahoma. Our sympathy
goes with the boys who have needed
their country's call and especially
the ones from our student body.
Part Of the letter follows:

OF the ~. II. ..
We during our leisure hours are
compelled to think Of the old D. H.
S. and especially Of the Senior class.
We think Of the dear old times we
have had together. We thought
that we had a hard time but we
know now that it was all for our
own benefit. You students do not
know or realize what an easy time
you are having. As we read the
school notes in the Doniphan
papers our hearts and minds &c
back to the days when we used To
take part in the debates Of the two
Societies, and the parties of the
different classes. The papers are
the only way we can find out what
you are doing back there. II seems
as though our friends have gone
back on us, because they don,
write to us.
tt might be Of interest to you To
know that we are digging trenches
now. About every other week we
take a hike OF about thirty miles.
We bad our first experience al
trench digging last Tuesday. And
Of course you can imagine the
blisters we wore on our hands. So
msybe you can see why our hearts
60 back to our dear old school days.
But as long as we can help our
country we will obey its demands
and do them with happiness.
We wish to say to the old foot
ball boys that we are sorry to hear
that you could not get enough
players to have q team tor We fully
believe that this was our time To
win something. But boys live for
better hopes next year and maybe
this cruel war will be over then,
and we will be there to help you as
we think 1t to be our part to help
beat Poplar Bluff. Though you
boys can't have a football team, go
into your other athletics with a
winning spirit and we are sure you
will win.
We also send our best regards to
Prof. Fosrd. Although he may
seem hard on you, it is all for your
benefit, which you will see when
you get out Of school,, And we fully
hope you will stand by him in
everything. and we are sure you
will be better off for it in later years.
So here's hoping that the old D.
H. s, may forever prosper.

Americans Called
German Spies by
Danish Officials

Copenhagen, July 26.-Information
obtained here shows that more ef-
fective measures than are now in force
for supervision of Scandinavian liners
plying to the United States must DC
put into effect if the passage OF num-
bers Of German agents and courlers
and the transmission of intelligence by
German spies in America are to be
checked. 1t is said authoritatively that
German pass-forging bureaus are
equipping German agents in Scanci-
navia with fraudulent Scandinavian
passports.
New names and descriptions are SUBJ
stituted occasionally, but sometimes
the only change is to attach a new
photograph of the ostensible holder.
Every liner now sailing to the United
States carries 200 or 800 passengers,
principally of Scandinavian national
ity. There is little to prevent the in
telligence department of the German
Admiralty, now under the clever lead
ership Of Captain Karl Boy-Ed, former
naval attache at Washington, from
planting any desired number of agents,
equipped apparently with genuine
Scandinavian passports, among the
passengers. There is reason 70 believe
this is being done.
Various attempts to recruit neutrals
for courier and information missions
to the United States have been re-
ported more or less definitely. The
Scandinavian police also could tell a
tale of unmasked Americans who are
employed in the German secret service
They are working against the inter
ests of their own country and of neu,-
raj states, whose hospitality they en-
10y, as we'll as against the European
Entente.

Aircraft Makers
Combine to Aid u. S.

The foremost aeroplane manufactur-

decided upon cooperative policy which
will eliminate or adjust all private diff
ferences and result in harmonious de-
velopment of the industry to meet the
national need. At a conference held
yestertaT it was decided to form the
American Aeroplane Manufacturer AS
sociation, which the government, acting
as a clearing house for patents, will
supervise.
The principal patent holders are the
Wright Martin Aerocraft Company and
the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motors Cor
poration. The following statement was
ISSUED by the latter:
"An agreement has been reached for
cross licensing in the aeroplsne indus
try, similar to the agreement existing
in the automobile industry. The gov
ernment has bought no seroplane pat
ents and shows no signs OF buying
them.

Teutons Barred

United States Attorney General Greg
ory last night issued orders to United
States Marshal Thomas D. Mccarthy to
bar all Germans, whether the pos
SCISSORS of barred zone permits or not
from all vessels, except ferryboats, ply
ing in the waters in and about New
York. This notice will be served upon
the various steamboat lines this morn
ing. Such enemy aliens as may vio-
late the order risk immediate intern
ment for the duration of the war.
Bv the terms of the order, Mr.. Nc.
Carthy said last night, all Coney Island

the various Hudson River lines, all
Sound boats, and boats running to Dos

and the boats which on Sunday and

German Agent Wealthy
From Work in Russia

Copenhagen, July 26.-The revolt Of
Nikolai Lenine in Petrograd and the
activities of his followers at the front
brought into prominence the connec-
tion between this party and the Ger
man Socialists and the German govern
ment, to which The Associated Press
repeatedly referred when the Russian
"peace angels" were being sped home
ward through Germany by the govern
ment. Petrograd dispatches indicate an
attempt to identify agents who acted
as media of communication and pay
masters.
One of the most prominent of these
resides in Copenhagen. He is DR.. Hell
fand, known in German Socialist cir
cles under the pseudonyme of Parvus,
of Russian birth. The Associated Press
correspondent first knew of him as a
member of the Council of Workmen
during the Russian revolution in 1905.
At that time his name was associated
with rumors of Irregularities with the
councils funds.
He next appeared as publisher for
Maxim Gorky, with whom he had
financial disputes. Helfand became al
lied with the German Socialists and
rose to considerable prominence as a
writer.
He was naturalized as a German dur
ing the war by special permission Of
the German government. Immediate
ly after the recent Russian revolution
he devoted himself to opening commu-
rications between the Russo-German
Socialists in Copenhagen, who entered
into relations with the Socialists in
Russia.
DR.. Helfand, despite his Socialist an
tecedents, stood high in favor of ex--
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg and
the German authorities, and was per-
mitted to travel. freely between Ger
many and Copenhagen. The Associated
Press correspondent was indebted to
him indirectly for occasional valuable
German information, notably the gov
ernment's promise to Herr Schelde-
mann to abstain from hostilities in the
East pending negotiations. DR.. Helfand
has become Independently wealthy
through various operations during the
war. lie is reputed to be several times
a millionaire.

Russia Seeks Billion
Loan From America
Mission Hopes Other Allies
Will Not Frustrate
Plan
From The Tribune Burelul

Washington, July 26-Russia wants
sl,OOo,Oo0,000 from the United States.
The Russian Mission has submitted a
programme requiring a loan Of that
amount, it was asserted to-day on high
authority.
Negotiations between the American
and Russian governments are progress
ing, but results satisfactory to Russia
have not yet been obtained, it was de-
clared. To date S175,0OO,O 900 has been
advanced to Russia by the United
States, while a total of about Sl,400,-
100000 has been loaned to the other
Allies.
1t IS understood that the conferences
in Washington have considered Russian
needs in relation TO the needs of the
other Allied countries seeking Ameri-
can financial assistance, and that Rus
sia hopes the other Allies will not
place impediments in the way of her
securing the money needed for prose-
cutting the war more effectively than
is possible in her present disorganized
state.
