Crisis Makes Prosecution of
Spy" on BIackmai! Charge
Unlikely Now.
CHIEF WITNESS TO LEAVE
Government Depended on Two
Attaches of German En-
bassy to Aid Case.

DR. Karl Armgaard Graves. self-styled
international spy. may never have Ia
answer to the allegation OF attempting
to blackmail Countess Won Bcrnstorff,
wife Of the former German Ambassador.
The international situation. which has
resulted in the severance OF diplomatic
re.atious between this country and the
Teutonic powers. and the death Of An
son Taylor. before whom. as United
States Commissioner. Graves was TO
have been tried, makes the prosecution
OF the defendant unlikely.
Assistant District Attorney William
Leahy. who has charge Of the Govern
ment's evidence against Graves, ad-
mitted today that the departure OF
Count Won Bernstorff and his suite
would deprive the Government of the
persons who could give evidence against
Graves. The result probably Will be
that the Government will abandon am
effort to prosecute the case.
Witnesses to Leave.
Graves was accused of endeavoring TO
sell letters addressed to Countess Won
Berns;orfl. Prince Hatzfeldt. counselor
Of the Germany embassy. and DIR. Fried
rich Wilhelm Edler. private SECRETARY
to the former Ambassador. were de-
pended upon by the Government as
chief witnesses.
These two witnesses depart tonight
with Won BernstorD and his suite.
The only other witness available for
testimony for the prosecution is the
Washington detective who arrested
Graves when he left the Hatzfeldt
home at the time of the alleged black
mailing.
District Attorney Leahy said today
that the death of Commissioner Tay-
lor does not materially affect the Gov
ernment's case against Graves, but he
admitted that the absence of the at
taches OF the German embassy great
ly minimizes the possibility of a con-
viction by the Government.
Graves Now Out on Bond.
Graves is now out on bond of $1,000
to appear March 10 for trial. He has
stoutJy maintained he never will an
swer the blackmailing charge.
Around Graves still hangs an air OF
mystery. He admits "Armgaard Karl
Graves is an assumed name. He
will not tell his real name.
The German embassy declares he
really is named "Meinke," and was
educated at Berlin public schools. He
claims 70, have been intimately asso-
ciated with the high councils OF the
German government. The author OF
two widely read books on interna-
tional spying. Secrets OF the German
War Office" and Secrets OF the Ho-
henzoIlerns." Graves has been "eX-
posed" frequently by newspapers and
the German embassy. His latest com
position is a movie serial, ''ThSlAias-
ter Spy" which Graves admits Is
draped around his own romantic his
tory. He created quite a furore with
his sensational disclosure" in a
series OF magazine stories just after
the war began. No one really knows
much about him.

Fay for Privilege.

At the Congressional Library cafe,
on the upper floor Of the Library OF
Congress. the employees OF Uncle Sam
have a special menu with special
prices. Visitors pay from 20 to so
per cent more for the privilege OF din
ing there. When the upward tendency
Of food prices became strikingly
noticeable some three months ago, the
employees were assessed their little
bit on the menu. Since then there
has been no rise.
All the meat orders which before
were listed at 10 cents were marked
up to 10 cents. These include two
pieces OF bread with each order-if
another slice Is fAncied, II costs an
other slice OF change. Other articles
on the bill-of-fare were kept station
ary-eXcept baked apples and apple
dumplings, which went from 5 to 10
cents.

Harry Krauss rolled with both
Royal teams simultaneously, common
feat for the well-known expert. He
was the best performer for the big
pinners, but fell down woefully in
the duckpin contest.
His tenpin scores were POI, 201, and
25S and his duck strings LOG, 1O1, and
104. In his last tenpin-duckpin stimuli

Our Friends the French

The significance of the visit of General
Joffre and his companions to America was
not lost upon those familiar with the history
of the two nations. This means the school
children and the adults who have not forgot
ten what they learned in their youth, When
this infant nation was struggling for exist
ence France lent us large sums, which we
have never repaid, and she sent her soldiers
over here to help us. France is now in
need and we are threatened also. We have
admitted the force of the considerations Of
honor and of gratitude and have become an
ally of the French. The expedition of Cen
eral Pershing which is but a hint of what
is TO follow, is an echo OF the visit of Lafay-
ette and his associates TO America, sounding
across more than a century. Il. Alexander
Powell in Brothers in Arms" little vol
ume of less than sixty-hve pages, has sought
10 draw the historical parallel and to re-
mind us Of the greatness of our opportunity.
He has written an eloquent and moving ap-
peal TO American patriotism, starting with a
brief resume OF the part that Frenchmen
took in our early history, and concluding
with a call TO our citizens TO take up the
burden placed upon them by the arrogance
of a military despotism. THE surest way. :"

How to Run a Home

The multiplicity of books on home making
indicates that the old-fashoned method of
training the daughters has fallen into dis
use and that the girls must get their knowl-
edge from some one who knows more than
their mothers, or from those who are more
interested than the mothers in training
them for their duties wives, The Home
and It's Management" one of the latest
textbooks on the subject, has been prepared
by Mabel Hyde Kttredge, president of the
Association of Practical Housekeeping
Centers in New York city. 1t is an ele-
mentary handbook, beginning with the
simplest statements about the kind of a
house or apartment TO live in, followed by
instructions in the care of the kitchen stove,
the icebox, the kitchen utensils and the like
How to set a table is explained with direc-
tions for placing the knives and forks. They
are so clear that a savage who had always
eaten squatting on the ground, using his
fingers to handle his food, could understand
them. The care Of infants is discussed In
the same way and elementary nursing is
explained In addition there are 800 cook
ing recipes for inexpensive dishes The
book adapts itself equally well to use in
the classroom of the training school and to
the needs of the bride who has never given
a thought to the duties which marriage
brings upon her.
