GERMANY NEEDS FOOD
 BUT GOOD FOR 2 YEARS

Conditions over the country are eX- tremely satisfactory and everywhere people are being aroused to the coun- trv's situation, in the opinion of James W. Gerard. our ambassador to Germ any until we entered the war. Mir Gerard has just completed swing around the country in which he has told the people all of the things which have put the United States into the war and just what must be done to win it.
 "ls Germany hungry?' MT. Gerard was asked while in Ca.cago.
 "It has been for some time" he re- piled.
 "How long can Germany hold out?'
 1.-TWO years,' he declared without hesitation. "The war may be over before then, but I am no military or naval expert.
 "All this necessary to end the war is for the German people to realize that the United States is in the war, permanently and with determination to win" he continued. That under standing slowly is permeating the citizenship of the Germany. The in formation is spreading rapidly and the more quickly it gets around the earl fer real terms of peace will be discus sed.'
 He declared that he believed no real peace terms were under discussion in any officially circles now.

 Held Duped of $5,000.
 Rohn's statement is that Pohl came to him and offered to form an organ ization to break up the |. w. w. i'll Butte. Pohl said he could work among the Austrians-Germans rarely mine in Butte-and forma new body to de feat the l. w. W's For this work, Rohn, presumably working with the knowledge and consent of his corpora tion and perhaps of other employing corporations, since they are all in as- sociation in Butte, let Pohl have about 5000 during six or seven weeks. Rohn seems to have had no account ing for this money, but was led to un- derstand he declares that Pohl was making progress.
 The secret service is said to believe that Pohl was taking this money to form a secret army of Austrians who should at a signal set out to wreck the Butte mines" Several scores of Austrians are suspected of having en- listed in this movement.
 Thus, an American man of affairs, whose loyalty is beyond question, was actually duped of 5000 to hand to German spies to blow up his own mine if the secret service theory of the Pohl conspiracy is correct.
 Attached to this conspiracy, it is said is the z long g-suspected German wireless system in Montana, operat- ing by automobile wireless in Butte to airships circling about tn ecity, which, in turn, transmit messages to a powerful station seereted somewhere in the vast forest primeyal between Missoula and Thompson Falls in the western end of the State; the forest Stdl4Ou III luI II lIdHSllllIllIS lIt lulOl nation to Mexico City, when it is known to be sent direct to Berlin.
 This station is not known to have been discovered. But not since Pohfs arrest have airships been seen in Mon tana, nor have those mysterious autos with wireless apparatus set, that now and then were rumored to have been encountered in the environs of Butte, been on the job.
 Pohl, if guilty is not the man higher up That is generally agreed. Some one more familiar with affairs in Mon tana cocneived the brilliant plan of making Rohn the dupe. Whether the road maps of which Rohn is in charge were also the aim of the conspirators is not made plain; but they would be very valuable to the Kaiser's men if a German .uprising-maddest of dreams-could ever be 'pulled' in Montana.

MONTANA OFFICIAL IS TRlCKED BY SUPPOSED
 GERMAN SPY
Foreigner Held At Butte Being Investigated By Secret
 Service Men.
(Helena Standard)


 HELENA. Mont, Nov. S.-Amazing disclosures continue to be made in connection with the arrest of Carl von Pohl a former German citizen held in Butte by immigration authorities for violation of the immigration act in en- tering this country from Canada.
 The Germans arrest has brought to a head a long series of incidents which date from the beginning of the great war in August, 1914, and will end is the general prediction, in the final exposure and overthrow of one of the most widespread and determ- ined conspiracies against the peace and safety of the United States that has been traced to German agency since the conflict in Europe began.
 It must be noted, Government off cials explain. that there is as yet no direct proof of the guilt of Von Pohl as a German spy. As for his connec- ton with Oscar Rohn, chairman of the State highway commission, no doubt whatever is entertained regarding Rohn's innocence. It is possible, how ever, that Rohn may have been made the Kaiser's dupe and tool, all inno- gently. thru spies whose suspected acts have astounded Montana people.
 Works for German Paper
 It has been charged since the begin ming of the I. w. w. agitation in Butte that German money was behind the shutting down of the mines. The na- tional I. w W. has been suspected of being the tool willingly or not, Of German agents and the same suspic- icion attaches to the organization in this State. The part Pohl and Rohn played in these activities is not gener ally understood.
 Pohl came here more than a year ago from Canada, Immigration auth critics declare the Canadian govern ment informed them that Pohl would bear watching He came to Helena and secured a position with a local German language newspaper, of which Dr. Carl Weiss, also a former Canad- ian resident, was editor and publisher.
 Pohls duties took him to many cit ies of the State. It was a small job, as jobs go-advertising solicitor for a small publication; but Pohl it is said, always had plenty of money. He dressed like a prince, was never in a hurry, and never took rejection of proffered advertising contracts to heart
 Opens Realty Office.
 After some months editorials that had been appearing in the German language newspapers excited the ire of Helena and Mnotana citizens. Weiss disappeared and has never been definitely located Pohl was out of a job. He took the agency for some Helena real estate and went to Butte and opened a realty office there.

SHEKEL DAYS FOR MINNIE
sofa.

The collection of shekolim Ca
shekel=25c) is the most impor-
tant work for Zionists this year.
The shekel is the Zionist;c poll-tax.
It not only furnishes the neces-
sary sinews Of war for the move
ment, but it also enables us to form
an idea Of it's numerical strength.
The man or woman paying a shekel
thereby gives expression to his or
her interest in, and sympathy with
Zionism. No shekel is accepted
from an anti-Zionist, or from one
entirely Indifferent to the Jewish
national ideal.
The payment of 25c is certainly
no great sacrifice for any man or
woman. The shekel campaign that
has been arranged for next Sunday
and Monday thruout the Jewish
communities of Minnesota should
be carried on with such thorough
ness and vigor as to bring out the
full strength OF our movement in
this state. That will give Zionism
corresponding standing and infu-
ence at the Forthcoming American
Jewish Congress.

BRAVO, TWIN CITIES!
We knew all along that the Twin
Cities would not be behind other
communities of this country in
their manifestations of true liber-
atty in their contributions to the
war-sufferers relief fund. The
splendid example of Mr.. Julius
Rosenwald of Chicago who has
pledged one-tenth of the entire
fund, has been contagious, and has
aroused a spirit of emulation in
other cities. The Twin Cities, too,
are furnishing their Rosenwalds.
Last week we announced to our
readers the generous offer of Mr..
Jacob Dittenhofer of St. Paul of
one-tenth of his community's total
collection. This week our readers
will be pleased to learn that Mr.. l.
Ruben of Minneapolis offers ten per
cent, and Mr.. John Friedman five
per cent of the sum raised in Min
neapolis. 1t is the ambition of the
Minneapolis community to collect
not less than $4,000, and more, if
possible. With the example of the
above-named two gentlemen to
stimulate it, the community will
certainly put forth every effort to
see it's ambition realized. The earn

made by the ancient and honorable
opponents of Zionism that the
movement is now doomed to fail
ure, that it has no further excuse
for existence, since the problem
of the Jews of Russia, who would
have been it's greatest beneficlaries,
has now been solved by Russia it.
self, Zionism is actually and per-
ceptibly gaining strength from day
to day, regardless of what has hap
pened in Russia. According to a
news item in the general press, Is
rael Zangwill, who in 1905 left the
movement to organize his territor-
ialist society, has now returned to
the fold, promising to do his Ut
most for the success of Zionism.
According to him the victory of the
Allies will surely bring us nearer
our goal.
The value of ZangwilPs renewed
advocacy of Zionism and the activ-
ity on it's behalf cannot be over
estimated. But his return means
also the accretion to our ranks of
a goodly number of his followers,
the Territorialists, most of them
people Of standing and influence in
their own spheres.
Another report circulated thru
the press is that Jacob Schiff, the
well-known New York philanthro-
pist, has also declared himself as
an adherent of our movement.
This report is somewhat eXaggerat-
ed. What Mr.. Schiff did say at
recent meeting in New York was
that he believed in the necessity of
a home for Jewish culture, and that
such a home could be best estab-
lished in Palestine. But he was
not yet convinced of the exigency
of the restoration of the Jewish
nation.
At the same time it is quite an
admission on the part of Mr.. Schiff
that home for the further cultiva-
ton of Israel's spiritual possessions
is required, more especially now
that the Jews of Russia have OBJ
tanned complete freedom, in order
to prevent Jewish disintegration
and the weakening of Jewish 10y
atty and attachment that generally
follow in the wake of democracy
and freedom. Further thought
along these lines will convince Mr..
Schiff that when we speak of
peoples culture we can mean only
national culture, the ef1orescence

iFURS GREAT BEAUTY AIDS
Beautiful Stole Makes Even a Pitifully
Plain Woman Take on Mys-
terious Fascination.

It is wonderful what furs can do for
q woman. Surrounded by the soft fiat
terry of q beautiful stole, even a pitt
fully plain woman becomes mysterl-
ously fascinating, declares a writer in
Vanity Fair. It's really no wonder that
woman remains true to her furS, even
in the summer. And this winter furs
are to be more desirable than ever.
Short haired furs are to be much in
evidence, and mink, after graceful re-
tirement from public life for a few
seasons, has suddenly returned to the
Ilimelight and is to be extremely popu-
lar.
! Long stoles are chic, for fashion is
not obsessed with the eccentric this
year; she is interested only in graceful
things. The Innings of this seasons
stoles and capes are in themselves rea-
sons for desiring the furs. They are
lovely things of chiffon and voile-oh,
it isn't half so impracticable as 1t
sounds; they're the indestructible kind
of soft silk and taffeta embroidered
all over in gay colors. In fact,-in
furs as in storm clouds, there is al
most invariably gay lining.

SUCCESS IN DAIRY BUSINESS
One of Best Breeds Should Be Selected
and Followed, That Herd May Be-
come Uniform.

For best success in the dairy bust
ness one of the dairy breeds should
be selected and followed, that the
herd may become uniform, care being
taken to get good cows with which
to start. There is more difference in
the cows of any breed than there is
in the different breeds, says one
writer.
A profit can only be expected from
good cows, so better start with five
good cows than 20 poor ones. With
five you will find satisfaction, less
work and more profit. If you expect
to raise the heifer calves for future
use be sure they are not only sired
by registered bull, but that his ped
igree for great production Of milk and
butter runs back for five Or more
generations on both sides.
We cannot all see, our way clear to
begin with registered cows of high
merit. Good grades can usually be
bought costing but little more than
scrubs and by careful breeding herd
will soon be raised which will be both
a pleasure and profit.
