TRAINED DOCS IN

FOOD SMUGGLERS
Big Aid to Police in Run
ming Down violators of
Food Laws.

Berlin, Aug. 9, via London-Ger-
many's famous trained dogs are now
proving Of value in running down
,violators of food laws. Near Ber-
lin the dogs located a man who had
been pilfering from truck gardens.
leading officials to the house where
the stolen vegetables were hidden.
In Munich a constable attempted
to seize a man caught with SO pounds
of meat. from an illegal slaughter
house. The man escaped, leaving
the burden behind, but was tracked, to
a hay loft. by police dogs. When
the officer returned to the spot where
the meat was left the meat was gone.
The police dogs were again summon
ed and located it in a nearby house,
where it had been hidden by a wom-
an. @
When brought to court the meat
speculator pleaded that he was with
out funds. The court was inclined
to doubt the story and. suspecting the
meat smuggier had hidden his purse
in the hay loft, again requistioned the
police dogs, which found the purse
well padded with currency hidden in
the hay. 81,

MAKING ROADS PAY.

Railroad and trolley corporations
for some years have been complaining
bitterly about the conditions under
which they do business. They assert
that their costs are constantly increas-
ing while they are not permitted to
raise rates. Il.
This may be true in many cases
Yet the managers of these corpora
lions should use the means by which
other business men have won out in
the face of hard conditions. They
could learn a lot from the traction
companies that do business in ST.
Paul and Minneapolis. These com
panies take a lot of newspaper space
and they tell about their interesting
trips. both to outside points and about
the two cities. The result must be
that many residents find that there
are many interesting things near by
that they never saw. Any railroad
or trolley company could greatly stim-
ulate passenger business by telling
the public about sights of interest on
its lines.
A desire to travel can be created
in the same way that the desire for
autom obiles~ has been created-by
persistent advertising.

+ It was at this Juncture that strife
arose over the Wilmot proviso, upon
which, eight years later, the modern
Republican party was formed; upon
which, fourteen years later. Abraham
Lincoln was chosen president and up
on which the war for the Union be-
gan All the Democratic members, as
well as the Wings from New York. and
most strongly the Van Buren, or
Wright men, supported the proviso.
The Democratic legislature of New
York, among others approved it. It
passed the House of Representatives
at Washington by vote of S3 to "a.
but was rejected by the Senate. In
the following December the president
again asked for the measure and as
most Of the northern state legislatures
had declared in favor of it, bills were
soon reported in both Houses, and in
the following February. the House
again passed it by a. vote of lis to
,106. Meanwhile however, the Demo-
cratic Senate had passed a. similar bill
without the proviso, and this bill came
up before the House. That body in
committee of the whole voted to
amend the Senate bill by adding the
proviso, but this was rejected by the
Senate, and the bill was finally pass
ed without 1t.

TODAY's ANNIVERSARIES.

1t was on Aug. 9, in the year 4S
B. C. that Caesar won the great VIC
tory of PharsaHa over his rival, Pom
pey, and made himself master of the
civilized world. Pompey fed to
Egypt. where he was treacherouslv
slain. The power gained by Caesar
through this victory enabled him to
overthrow the Republic OF Rome ana
establish the Empire. The t1rst COM
mencement of Harvard College was
held on Aug. -. 1912. This is also
the anniversary of the birth Of Fran
els Scott Key, author of the Star
Spang1ed Banner who was born on
Aug. 9, 1850. The French were the
first to try out a steamboat built by
Robert Fulton. The venture was
made on the river Seine on Aug. 8,
1903. 1t was not until four years
later that the first steamboat trip on
the Hudson River was made, when
the Clermont ran up the Hudson
from New York to Albany in 81
hours. 1t afterward ran as a regu-
lar packet-boat between those cities
Several earlier experiments I'M steam
navigation had been tried, but Full
tons boat was the first that proved
commercially successful. AS early as
1884 a French aeronaut made a suc-
cessful ascent in a cigar-shaped bal
loon that did not rely upon the wind
for its motive power. This balloon
was driven by electricity and may be
said to have been the forerunner of
the present-day Zeppelin, employed by
the Germans in bombarding towns.

THE wILMoT PRoyIso

On Aug. 8, 1916 David Wilmot I'M
troduced' in Congress his famous pro-
viso which laid the foundation for the
Free Soil Movement in the United
States. It was a long time before the
Significance of this instrument really
made itself felt or was recognized gem
orally, for, the proviso was an amend
ment to a bill, then pending. granting
$1,000, 600 for negotiating peace with.
Mexico. The amendment declared
that it be an express and fundamen-
tai condition to the acquisition of any
territory from Mexico, that neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude shah
exist therein" Early in the Polk adj
ADMINISTRATION there appeared among
the New York Democrats division.
The opposing factions became known
as "Barnburners'' and "old Hunkers."
the former being strong pro-Van Blu
rem, anti-Texas men, who were 1iken-
ed to the farmer who burned his barn
to clear it Of rats; the latter faction
Included the "Northerners who were
suspected of hankering after offices
The "Barnburners'' were led by men
of really great ability and exalted
character Silas Wright. then COVER
nor; Benjamin F. Butler, John A. Dix.
chosen in 1916 to the United States
Senate, Azariah C. Flagg, the famous
comptroller and John Van Buren,, son
of the ex-president, were ak Barn
burners" The leaders of this faction
were Daniel S. Dickinson and William
L. Marcy. Polk, in the beginning,
seemed to favor them. Jackson's
death in June, 1S45, deprived the Van
Buren, men of the tremendous moral
weight which his name carried. In the
HALL of 1916 the "Barnburners'' thor
ougflly controlled the Democratic par
ty in New York State. They opposed
theMexican war which the annexation
of Texas had now brought about. Sam
uel ]. Tilden. a profound admirer Of
Van Buren, became one of their
younger leaders.

SWISS IN CRISIS !.
WITH GERMANY
OVER BIG LOAN
Resents Berlin Demand for
$5O,OOO,O00, and Coal
Stoppage Threat.

Washington, Aug 9--Intimations OF
a threatened crisis in the relations be-
tween the Imperial German Govern
ment and the government of Switzer-
land reached the State Department Of
ficially today.
b The crisis has been precipitated by
German demand upon Switzerland
for loan. said to be $50,e00,00o gold,
and a German threat to cease all coal
imports into Switzerland until the
amount Is paid.
Switzerland resents the demand on
the ground 1t is extortion. Swiss Of
fcials have appealed to Entente di-
plomats: for advice, and the Swiss
government has taken steps to ap-
prise President Wilson of what Is hap
pening.
There are evidences of a determine
ton on the part of the Kaiser and the
German war party to strike terror in
to the hearts of neutral countries con-
tiguous to the German Empire on the
ground that this is the surest means
of keeping these nations from listen
ing to British proposals aimed at
Tightening the blockade. Diplomatic
advices indicate that this subject has
been taken up in recent conferences
between the German Emperor and his
war lords, and that a new, threaten
ing policy is being enforced by. Ger
man diplomacy.
Switzerland particularly has come in
to disfavor with the German war lead
ers because OF the busting of pro- Ger
man government officials, the bargain
made by Switzerland with France to.
prevent foodstuffs from reaching Ger
many and the refusal of Switzerland to
permit the Socialist leader Grimm to.
remain a tool of the German peace
propagandists in Russia.
The German Foreign Office, 1t now
developes. has been watching with
growing concern the 1ukewarmness- of
the Swiss toward the active propagan-
da which has its headquarters In
Berne. It was the spread of this pro-
Entente feeling which caused the
Swiss government to recall DR.. Paul
Ritter, the Swiss Minister at Wash
| ington, when it became evident that
he was assisting Germany.
The demand for a loan appears to
be the first step in new policy of
| firmness which Germany is trying to
enforce on the Swiss. Switzerland cam
mot spare gold to loan to Germany,
and it is fully realized In Berne; that
the Entente and the United States will
not look with favor on the move. But
Germany demands it as condition
| for coal Shipments into Swiss terri.
tory, and the coal is urgently needed.
AT the State Department today it
was said that no decision had been
reached as to what immediate steps
the United States, might take toward

USE OF POTATOES
IN BREAD MAKING

The pressure of war conditions has
brought to light the value of potatoes
in bread making, both in England and
America. AS an economy in England
potato flour was mixed with wheat
and a peculiarly delicious bread re-
suited. In this country potato flour
is not available to the average house
wife, and the U. s. Department of Ag-
riculture has therefore devised recipes
for the making of bread with simple,
plain boiled potatoes mixed with the
wheat flour.
This bread is said to be not only a
complete success from the economy
standpoint, where potatoes are cheap

ual bread monotony. 1t has a rich
brown crust, is tender and elastic, and
the flavor is preferred. by many to
the bread made wholly of wheat. It
contains more moisture than ordinary
bread, and therefore has longer keep

For the making of potato bread, at
the present time, it is advisable to use
the early perishable potatoes, since the
later varieties are capable of storage
until spring. 'tCulls'' also may be SO
used.
