100000 IRON CROSSES
Have Been Distributed by German Gov
eminent During the War.

Copenhagen, Aug, ! correspondence
That 100000 iron crosses of the sec.
ond class and 10000 of the first class
have been awarded during the war is
shown by announcements published in
Berlin which have been received here.
OF this number 1860 were conferred
upon individuals behind the 'front.'" but
it is certain that the number of persons
wearing the decoration who have never
been under fire is even larger. The
classification behind the front" probab bly,
applies only to n-combatants engaged
in war service, and not to individuals,
like Won Jagow and other civilians, who
from time to time have been stationed at
the main headquarters.
A horde of wearers of the iron cross
have been simply employed at the head
quarters and by the staff; never smelling
powder unless perhaps it was during the
repulse of long distance airplane raid.
As an example of the lavishness with
which the crosses are handed out, cor
of the Associated Press was
present at luncheon party of eight at
the main headquarters in 1915, where
the seven Germans present all had been
and not single one of them
had ever been under fire.
During the Franco Prussisn war about |
'ne in every 20 participants was given
IN iron cross, and except in the case sof
high military commanders and sons of
'oyalty, it was awarded only for excep-
.ional bravery in the field.
The value of the iron cross now has
become so debased, because Of the vast
Quantities granted and the number of
heroes who have through
heir influence received them, that the
of a new order for valor

MEXICO READY
TOAD THE US.
Carranza Shows Disposition
I to Gust German
Spies
AMB. FLETCHER
FACES BIG TASK
President DESTROYS of Fur
nishing Ample Sup
ply of Oil

Washington, Aug. L. The Carranzs
government can show its good will
toward the United States in no more
certain way than by BUSTING offensive
German propagandists from her soil or
by curbing their activities. This is the
consensus of opinion here among the
well-informed.
One of the first duties which will de-
volve upon Ambassador Fletcher when
he returns to the Mexican capital will
be to bring to Carranza's attention evil
dence gathered in this country OF anti
American plotting by Germans south OF
the Rio Grande.
1t is believed that when Carl Heynen
was arrested in the United States sew
eral weeks ago documents proving his
connection with German activities in
Mexico were seized. In this respect it is
interesting to know that Heynen's ex-
business partner, Richard Everbusch, is
German consul at Tampico.
Washington believes that the hand of
Germany may be seen in the recent agi-
tation in Mexico for the curtailing of the
oil exports from the Tampico fields. This
oil supply is vital to the British navy,
and any attempt to curtail it at this
time is regarded with suspicion. German
agents are suspected of having instigated
recent strikes at Tampico.
The government has no reason to doubt |
the good faith of the Mexican authori |
ties Ambassador Fletcher will make
clear to Carranza that the United States |
is not DESTROYS of being censorious, but
Is calling attention to what it regards as
manifest evils in hope of obtaining Mex
can cooperation in their abatement.

DO CANNING NOW.
Vermont People Are Urged to Begin
at Once.

Wherever war gardens" are flourish

able fruits and vegetables are reason-
able, housewives will help themselves
and the nation by starting at once to

Telegraphic reports coming to the
United States department of agriculture
from Vermont reveal that there are large
SURPRISES of certain perishable fruits and
vegetables which will 90 to waste unless
energetic measures are taken to con-
serve them. If these products are not
bought and conserved now, they will de-
teriorate. Both common sense and pa
triotism demand that, at this time, wom-
en- who are looking ahead cooperate
with the emergency food conservation
of the department of agricul-
ture.
That the women of Vermont have re-
sponded promptly to President Wilson's
appeal to secure nothing short of the
perfection of organization in order to
cope with this situation, is indicated by
reports coming daily to Washington.
THE producers have responded prompt

IMPORTANCE OF
ANCIENT TOOTH
The Discovery of Few Fossils Throws
New Light on the Geology of Pow
der River Basin, Wyoming.

In the early days of taleontology it
was said that Cuvier, the great French
naturalist, could reconstruct an extinct
animal from the study of single fossil
bone, and in broad sense this was true,
though the actual skeleton when found
may have differed in detail from the
theoretical restoration. To the geologist
the bone of fossil animal may also in
dictate an important episode in the his.
tory of a region and suggest the geologic
age of the rocks found there.
A good example of the interesting re.
suits that may follow the finding of
fossil tooth is giver in professional paper

GERMAN SEAMAN
TOLD OF Battle
Described Activities on Board the Ger
man Flagship Lutzow During the
Battle of Jutland in June, 1916.

The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. Cor
respondence-- Scenes on board the Ger
man flagship Lutzow during the Jutland
naval battle when some of the newest
and largest of the German battle cruisers
were battered or sunk by Admiral Beat
tvs British squadron in June, 1916, are
wildly described by p. Krug, one of the
Lutzow's survivors in pamphlet which
has just been published here. 1t is be-
lieved to be the first detailed story of
that great battle from the point of view
of the German sailor to reach the pub
lie eye.
Torpedoed by British warship early
in the engagement the Lutzow, which
was the flagship of Admiral Hyper, was
hammered numerically by the big guns
OF the British vessels, and soon became
a complete wreck, ship OF the dead, T"
as Krug described her.
According to his story twenty-seven
German sailors were trapped in the Die
sci dynamo room before the battle had
been long in progress and remained there
when the Lutzow, disabled hulk was
abandoned and sent to the bottom by
torpedo from a German destroyer Two
of these imprisoned men had been driy-
en- insane and were kept tied by their
shipmates.
After describing the first part of the
battle and telling how the arrival of
British battleships turned the tables on
the Germans, krug writes;
Suddenly the entire ship is roughly
shaken. The colossus heaves far over,
and everything that is not fixed is up

pedo pierces the fore part of the ship. |
Its effects are terrible. Iron, wood, met

shine upon this sight.

sci should fall into the enemy's hands.
An order was given and a torpedo cleft
the waters. Just then seven men were to
be seen running like madmen round the
rear deck. Over-fatigued as they were,
they had apparently dropped off to sleep
and only just awakened. As the torpedo
exploded, the Lutzow's bow quickly
dipped, and the stern rose until she
stood on end Then she heeled over and
sank, forming great whirlpool that car

that there were 1908 survivors of the
