ices to Government.

Kansas, suggests two wartime French

GERS costs fifty cents and is for
ance with French. Both contain the
French terms used in the war zone in
France.
Both these books are being used IN
the thee French war classes in the
University of Kansas. The book for
officers is especially valuable as it
has all the highly technical terms
relating to the French artillery, rail-
roads, transportation, signalling. hos
pital work, infantry cavalry, aero
plane service. billeting and other mat
tiers essentially of the battle front.

No One to Care for 1t Now.

Kansas City. Kan, July 12-Huron
cemetery. the three-acre plot of
ground in the heart of the business

eral old monuments marking burs Ing
spots have been toppled over and

QUARTER OF MILLION SAVED
GOVERNMENT BY JOHNSON
Amount Represents Fines For
Offenses Against U. S. Laws
In Washington.

- Washington, Feb. 9.-Nearly a
quarter of a million ,dollars-to be
exact, $685., 0.SS-has been saved
the Federal Government by Repre-
sentative Ben Johnson, chairman of
the Committee on the District of CO.
lumbia. This amount represents the
fines collected by the Criminal Di-
vision of the Districts courts since
1878 for oifenses against the FEEDER
al laws committed in the District of
Columbia.
Under a ruling just announced by
the Controller of the Treasury this
money, now in the hands of the
Treasurer of the District, is expect
ed to be turned over to the United
States Treasury. Authority for max
ing this transfer will be embodied
in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill, soon to be reported to the
House. That it will be adopted
without opposition is the prediction
of well-informed persons on Capitol
Hill.
Congressman Johnson, who has
been the means of saving the Fed
eral Government several million dol
lars during the last few years
through his unprecedentad invastipa
tions as chairman of the District
Committee, holds the view that is
shared by many of his colleagues,
that IL persons are fined for the vio-
lation of the laws of the District the
District of Columbia should receive
these fines and that If Federal laws
are violated in the District the fines
paid by the persons convicted of Fed
eral offenses should be paid into the
Federal Treasury.

FIST BLOW AGAINST
UNITED STATES

Providence, r. l., Feb. Eff Ger
many succeeds in dragging the Unit
ed States into war her first blow
against this country will be an at
tack through Mexico. For the past
two weeks the German Ambassador,
working among his own Consulates

OF 20 officers of the German.
army, both regulars and reservists,
from various American ports and
railroad ccnters to Mexico City,
where orders governing their future
activities will await them.
1t has not been generally known
that a large number of German army
officers, who have been captured b.
the Russians during the present war,
and have made their way here at va
rious times through China, have
been held in this country without
any attempt being made to smuggle
them back home. The Department
OF Justice has had information for
several months that several of these
officers have been with both Villa
and Carranza in Mexico. Since last
Saturday there has been a whole
sale exodus of those that have re-
manned to Mexico City, and at least
200 officers of reservists have ac-
companiCd them or gone in small
parties, by various routes, to the
same ultimate destination.
The Government is in possession
of information to the effect that q
large quantity of arms and ammuni
ton, collected here at the beginning
OF the war and stored i'm the large
warehouses in New York, has found
its way to Mexico City, where it has
been held intact since its arrival.

co City to the Foreign Office in Ber-

ee of the German Embassy. at II
Broadway, New York, under seal to

ragen, Denmark. This communica-
tion, a copy of which has just been
received in this country, goes into
the conditions in Mexico from the
German point of view very fully, and
declares that what is known as the
German Alliance in Mexico is sup.
porting every effort to increase thyl
hatred against Americans in tina
country by inaugurating a series Of
German gatherings in behalf of Mex
lean nationality, mixing socially with
prominent Mexican leaders and
flooding the country with pamphlets

There remains but little over ten

formation vouchsafed by one of the
Oldest and best informed tobacco
men in Owensboro Friday evening.
The crop this year will not figure
much in excess of 100000
this district has grown 5O,00O,O0O,
probably in 1908, it was, and this
man purchased a large proportion of
this crop. The facilities for learning
of the size of the crop were much
less than now. The information CIV

tives of this man all over the dis
trict.
3O,OOO,OOO Pounds Delivered.
1t is estimated that from all
sources, other than the loose leaf
floors, the tobacco sales have reach
ed approximately 100000 pounds.
At the close of business Friday after
noon the sales over these floors had
reached total in excess of 1S,000,-
900 pounds. 1t was stated by the
buyer mentioned above that this was
the greatest amount of money ever
paid for a tobacco crop within his
memory and he had been trading
for more than a quarter of a CEN

An Average OF $11.67.
Tobacco growers in the Green
River district have been paid for
the weed they have delivered and
sold over the loose leaf floors the
sum of s2,163,1O3.94 for S,525,345
pounds An average price of $11.67
has been paid them. This is but a
gain of two cents over the price up
to last week. The small gain in the
average is attributed to light deliv-
cries and the drop in the price in the
last Of the week, due to the delivery
of much frost damaged tobacco.
fridays sales ran up to 167.675
pounds. that sold for an average of

growers for the tobacco was $1S.-

good prices were paid was surpris-
ing. All good tobacco brought it's
value and those who sold were we'll
satisfied. Each of the four houses
had representative sales. House av-
erages ran we'll, considering the Of

portion of it, comparatively speak

There is one thing certain, if Ohio

have to loosen its purse strings and
either pledge, as before stated, by
subscription, or demonstrate that it
is willing to be taxed for a sum suf-
ficient to build its part of the road

highway would take through the
