WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct TO-
The state department made public to-
day the text of two messages from the
German foreign Office to Count Won
Berns. .orf, former ambassador to the
United states, and one from Bernstorff
to Berlin. The message from the Ger

here demanded that the Canadian Pa
cific railroad be destroyed, that sabot-
age be carried on in United States fac
tories and propaganda fostered for
influencing congress. The foreign Of
fee informed the ambassador he could
get information of persons willing to
commit sabotage from either Joseph
Mccarthy, of Philadelphia; John P.
Heating, of Chicago, or jeremiah
O'Leary, of New York, saying these
persons had been indicated as proper
ones to approach by Sir Roger Case

The message further said that sa-
botage must be carried on in all muni-

bridges destroyed.

to get a pro-German majority in con-
gress. There was no possibility OF
securing an embargo on exports, the
dispatch added, until the complexion
of congress changed.

Abruzzi Rye the Best Winter
CoDer Crop For the Soc:>e'
(From The Progressive Farmer.

tFrom The Progressive rarmer)
AbrG2 {. combination win
ter cove crop and grazing crop for
the South has no equal And when
planted in the cotton fields imme-
diately after the first picking, this
rye quickly makes heavy growth, and
by December or January is ready for
grazing. Ordinarily two or three
months grazing can be had before
time to pillow under the rye for spring
planting of other crops. Two pur-
poses are thus filled: First, cheap
and nutritious gren crop is provided
for the cattle during the winter
months; and second, cover crop
protects the land from washing and
teaching by hard winter rains and
conserves the fertility of the soil.
For cover crop purposes only
Abruzzi rye is the most valuable crop
We have for light lands and for con-
ditions where leguminous crops viii
not thrive or where the land is re-
CURED for spring planting before the
clover crops have attained a full
growth. Vetches. clover and other
leguminous crops are also good for
cover crop purposes, but the fact that
these crops in the South do not make
a heavy winter growth before time
for plowing makes them Of less value
than aheavier, earlier growing crop
Compared to native varieties of rye,
Abruzzi makes at least double as
much cover crop gworth. After many
years of experiment on our own
farms, and from experiments con
Quoted by hundreds OF the larger
farmers all through the South, we are
convinced that Abruzzi rye is the best
winter cover crop for general pur-
poses in the South IT is easy to
plant, grows on all kinds of soil,
thrives in the poorest sandy soils
where other crops fail, requires no
incubation, makes heavy early
growth, conserves humus in the soil,
prevents teaching and washing Of
sell by the winter rains, and restores
plnat food to the soil.

HAMS ARE CHEAPER
THAN WHITE MEAT
DEALERS SAY IL is THE FIRST
TIME THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN
OF SUCH A CONDITION IN THIS
SECTION.

For the first time within the reel
lection of provision dealers here, ham
Is cheaper, on actual quotations, with
out reference to relative food values,
than common white meat. If such q
condition ever was known in the
meat world before it is beyond the
recollection of local dealers, they as
sert.
Hams are selling at 80 to SO cents
a pound against dry salt white meat
known commonly as bellies, 81 to "a
cents. a pound.
This condition is attributed to the
excessively heavy demand by the Unit
ed States government and the gov
ernments of the allied nations for dry
salt meat, which is an important item
III the army ration. Dry salt meat
is used more than hams
AS an instance OF the advance in
meat prices, this time last year hams
were around 10 cents pound and
white meat about Id cents.
Advances in prices have become
so much the rule that customers to-
day pay no attention to an increase
of cent They used to kick terribly
on a quarter of a cent.
Government and packers statistics
show that the United States is 1,0O0,-
600 hogs short of the visible demand.
From August l to September I,
stocks of dry salt meat on hand de-
creased 60.OOO.OOO puunds-that is,
the receipts fell just that far behind
the current demand.
So far as can be seen, the only re-
hf is increased production. Georgia
tdoay has more hogs than ever before
in her history, but she is just coming
into the game At the same time, the
hog, producing sections are depleted
of their stocks.

GERMAN MILITARY
STRENGTH WANING
HAVE MADE THEIR SUPREME EF-
FORT, SAYS A FRENCH REVIEW,

GETTING READY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 10.-Ger-
many's military strength now shows a
clear decrease, for the first time since
the war began, according to a review
based upon data of the French gen.
eral staff made public here by the
French high commission.
Worn down and driven back by the
pounding of the Allies on
the western front, the statement says,
the Germans have made their supreme
military effort, after drawing heavily
upon their inactive armies in the east
and calling out their 1918 and part Of
their 1919 reserves, while the Allies
have reached and prepared to main
tain their full strength while await
ing the coming of Americas great
army, the enemy's resources are di-
minishing at the very moment when
the military situation demands that
they increase.
This shows" concludes the state
ment, "the decisive character attend
ing the operations Of 1918 when three
great democracies, England, France
and America, will unite their entire
strength in attacking the enemy in
conformity with the only sound prin-
eIple of war,

LION IN THE SKY.

told you before that every month
the sun rolls through a group Of stars
that has an odd name. In July 1t Is In
the group Of stars known as the Lion.
Once there grew up In Greece a lad
of great strength and cleverness named
Hercules. One Of the wonderful things
he did was to choke to death with his
infant hands two serpents that tried
to kill him In his cradle. AS he grew
older he became stronger, and he was
SO good natured that he was always
trying to help those about him
But after awhile Hercules came into
the power Of a wicked king, who set
him all sorts Of hard tasks.
The first of these was to kill fierce
lion which had been frightening and
killing the people in a valley called
Nemea.
Hercules took the big club, which
was so heavy that no one else could
handle 1t, and his big bow that no one
else could bend.
When he came to the wild, lonely
valley Of Nemea the lion, which hap
pened to be very hungry, came out to
meet Hercules. All the people had
moved out of that part Of the country
because they were so afraid Of the lion,
so it was hard for the animal to get a
meal.
Hercules stepped briskly up and, fit
ting an arrow to his bow, sent it
straight at the lions head, but the
brute's skin was so thick that the
sharp point could not pierce it Her
cules tried arrow after arrow, hoping
that at last he might find tender spot
When the last arrow was gone he
picked up his club and as the lion drew
near let 1t fall with heavy stroke on
the creatures head. The club slid Off
the lions thick name and fell to the
ground Hercules had then only his
own strong hands with which to fight
He grasped the snarling lion by the
throat and, using all his strength, soon
strangled the brute.
Hercules started home with the lions
skin thrown over his shoulder. When
he entered the town where he lived the
people and the wicked king were fright
ened. They thought the Nemean lion
itself had come to attack them. In
stead of praising Hercules for what
he had done the king ordered him aft
er that not to enter the city until he
had permission.
But the people were so pleased with
this wonderful service which Hercules
had done them that they named a group
Of stars the Lion, and so it has been
called ever since, and In July the sun
enters the space in the sky where the
Lion group Is found.

MILITARY STYLES.
How Blue Serge and Khaki
Are In the Front Row.

The shops have blossomed forth with
military fashions.
Just where they got all the red, white
and blue bedecked garments nobody
knows. OF course it was a compare
lively easy matter for some energetic
manufacturer to have strips Of the three
nations colors stitched to a lot Of silk
gloves or for another to have red, white
and blue pipings added to an almost
finished batch Of organdie neckwear.
But where did all the military frocks
and capes come from?
They are here, anyway, and they are
very attractive. There are khaki shirts
that would be admirable for the woman
who intends to do her part in the farm
ing world this summer. They are deco
rated with shields and other insignia in
the national colors on the pockets.
There are all sorts Of capes with mill
tary look. Some Of them are braided;
some are trimmed generously with brass
buttons. There are blue serge frocks
that almost set one cheering, they so
suggest a military parade. And so it
goes.
We all remember that when the
world war began Paris launched a
few military styles. They were accept
ed at first with enthusiasm, but later
on other styles superseded them. Per
haps with all the world at war Paris
can find permanent use for military in
spiration in women's fashions. Next
August, when the openings that Paris
has so punctiliously kept up ever since
that fateful August Of 1914 occur again,
we may know.
