 Washington, Oct. 10.-The German general staff in furtherance of its campaign for world domination sought in 1916 to have the Canadian Pacific railway wrecked at several points. It plotted sabotage in the United States and Canada which would ruin fac tories supplying munitions to the allies.

At the same time the de- partment published the third tlegram sent by Bernstorf to his foreign of lice in September, 1916, declaring the embargo conference planning to sway Congress to the side of Germany needed further support"

MARK BATES QUITS
"Only Simon Pure Democratic Paper
in Idaho Suspends

in Idaho Suspends
/ The Parma Herald, long known as
the only simon pure Democratic news
paper in Idaho, has suspended, and
there is gloom in every print ship in
the state, for Mark Bates was the
Herald and the Herald was Mark
Bates. There was an individuality
about that paper that was at once ori-
ginal and refreshing. Mark Bates
never beat about the bush, he never
quibbled; he. called a spade a spade
and he did it in good plain English.
In politics he was real Democrat
the old fashioned kind. There are
mighty few OF his kind left this side
of Mason & Dixon's line But back
of the Herald was brilliant mind, a
trenchant pen, great big heart. The
Herald was one of The Index's ex-
changes we used to take home to read
Sundays when we had time to enjoy
it. We shall miss its weekly visits as
of an old and trusted friend.
In announcing the demise of the
Herald Mark Bates has the following
to say, and what he says could truth
fully be said by many other papers:
"The Parma Herald has completed
fourteen years of work in Parma.
That should be enough for any one
parcop II co+;efac ,+r fo,,,Jo- 81
editor through those continuous years,
and with this issue it's publication will
be discontinued.
"Since the day before the Herald
was founded there have always been
plenty of reasons, from a newspaper
standpoint, why its publication should
have been discontinued. Publishing
the Parma Herald has never been a |
business; it has been luxury for the
editor, just like fighting the prohibi-
tickling his wife's feet and
voting the Democratic ticket. And
we have paid for the luxury of pub
fishing the Herald just as we have
paid for all others, without a murmur
and without a regret. We are dis
this child of our own crea-
ton at our own good time and in our
own sweet way, just as we gave it
0irth-without excess of sorrow or
transport of joy. We have fulfilled
,Yr mission, so far as we deem it me-
,essary, and are passing the buck
)ne intense desire of our life, at least, I
las been realized-the Parma postof-
ice is on Democratic basis" {
