 IN SPY HUNTING
Despite Urging of Care Some Unjust Accusations Are Made By Thought

Washington, April 21. (Spe- cial. )-The com servatiye S throughout the United States are beginning to realize that one jealous of the honor of his country may, in his patriotism, be driven to unnece ssary lengths. q
 The administration is urging Amer jeans to be very careful to treat other Americans of German antecedents with the utmost consideration. The administration, too, is endeavoring to impress the public with the fact that for every accident German "spy' is not responsible.
 That patriots may go too far is ex- emplified every day in Washington. Yes terday a Maryland farmer was arrested, dragged from his cart and thrown into jail. At trial this morning he explained that in attempting to strike with his whip slow moving animal. the tassel of the whip had struck a flag which was flying from the front of street car. The judge was made aware that he in- tended to insult to the flag. and the man was released. That afternoon he en- listed

Military Situation Very
 Encouraging, Says Cursor

London April 21.-The military situation at the present moment is distinctly en- couraging to the entente allies, declared Earl Cursor, member of the war council, in an address at Derby today. The gov- ernment leader in the House of Lords said that he did not wish his hearers to go away with the idea that the end had come just yet. but there was no doubt that the operations during the last fort night on French soil constituted a very considerable military victory.
 These operations have shown the won derful superiority of British artillery, which had fired 100000 rounds of ammu- milton into the ranks of the Germans. Earl Cursor said that in his opinion the military power of Germany was not sui ficiently broken to induce her to accept any terms which the allies might con slider reasonable
 Referring to the operations in the east. Earl Cursor said: Keep you eye on Mesopotamia."

BANKS OF COUNTRY
 OVERSUBSCR|BET ID
 FIRST WAR LOAN
Informal Offering of $2OO,- 100000 in Treasury Ger tificates Meets Ready
 Response

Washington, April 21,-The first American offering of war securities of S200,0O0,0OO in treasury certificates has been heavily oversubscribed.
 How great the oversubscrip- ton is, officials were unable to say tonight, as many of the banks whose offer had been placed informally through the federal reserve board, had not been heard from.
 Certificates were offered only to financial institutions. The response, officials believe, presages a patriotic outpouring of funds to an extent un- paralleled in the history of any nation when the $5,O00, 100000 bond issue is placed before the general public.
 Offering of the certificates was made informally because the $7,Oo0, coco war 1lnance measure IS not yet law. AS soon as it is disposed of by Congress, probably by Wednesday of next week, the formal offer will be made and pro- ceeds of the subscription called for at once.
 The certificates will bear 3 per cent in terest and will mature June 30, the end of the current fiscal year. They may be used in lieu of cash in paying for sub scriptions to the big bond issue and the date of their maturity indicates the be- lief on the part of officials of the $5, ,00o, : oo0,000 bond issue will be foated by that time.
 Other issues of certificates probably will be formally offered the financial institu- lions of the country within short time
 The proceeds of the S200. .00O, 900 issued and probably of subsequent issues will be distributed among the federal reserve banks of the country, each reserve bank receiving amounts equalling the total sub- scriptions of banks within it's district The money will be paid out again by the government in the ordinary course of business within short time. In this manner officials believe that the money markets will not be disarranged and that the present financial status of the coun- try will suffer the minimum amount of disturbance.

Golden Rule of Hotel Keeping

Tn the American Magazine E. NJ. Statler. the biggest hotel man in the world, brings out a golden rule of hc- tel keeping in the following story:
 At recent Tuesday luncheon in our hotel In Cleveland guest signaled wildly for waiter. HereH he ex- ploded. This soups stone cold. hotel that serves stuff like that should be turned into tallow factory
 'You could have paged all Euclid avenue without finding an angrier man. Further to emphasize his scorn he pushed the tureen away - and yanked back his fingers. The dish had burned them.
 But he was perfectly honest in his complaint After serving himself he had struck up an interesting conversa- tion with the man opposite. By the time he was ready to eat, the coup in his plate was cold. The waiter apoIo- gized and brought on a fresh order. The guest was happy
 Now the waiter might have made capital of those burned fingers. He might have removed the cover of the dish and smiled smugly at the escap- ing steam. Without the least trouble he could have proved his point-bul he would have lost his job. And be would have deserved to lose it.
 "Get down to bed rock and you will find that hotel is not selling rooms or meals It is selling serv- ice. It is selling courtesy. It is selling satisfaction. It is handling human nature with the brakes off, handling people when they are free from the obligations of business or the limitations of home life, when they ex- pect to have their comforts cared for automatically. their whims gratified instantly

Hardinge and Chelmsford and I know that this attitude of the government of India has certainly drawn the Indian states steadily closer to it. self and had stimulated the feeling among the rulers of real devotion to the King Emperor and to his royal house.
 'The party of seditionists and anarch-, ists in India Is small, but had the British government not followed the just and sympathetic policy-the only right policy for the British government-that was followed during the viceroyalties of Lord Mnto and Lord Hardinge, the ranks of the party against order and good gov erEment would undoubtedly have been considerably swelled in spite of the criti- cisms of the short-sighted advocates of a certain school who can find nothing good in these two great l-iceroys policies.
 "So long sas the handling of affairs be- tween the British government and the Indian states remains in hands of such capable political officers and such sym pathetic friends as Mir. J. B. Wood. the political secretary. and Col. c. J. Wind ham. the British resident at present ac- credited to our courts, the future is full of hope.

Foodstuffs were scarce, and cards
