Obviously Germany had to have

GERMANY PAID AMERICANS

Piled. ~ our president seems TO want

what the German Americans are do

Germany n Ist not be held responsible

Had II not been for tho fact that
the American government was fully
advised about Zimmermann's intrigues
in the United States. this remark
might he accepted on it's face. The
United states knew that Germany was
having direct- Negotiations ssltA-4~~-
man Americans tn the United States.
Men came to Germany With letters Of
Introduction from leading German
Americans here, with the expressed
purpose OF trying to get Germany TO
stop its propaganda here.
What they did do was to assure
Germany that the German Am orleans
would never permit the United States
/ TO be drawn into the war. Because
of their high recommendations from
Germans here some of them had au-
diences with the kaiser.
Germany had been supporting finan-
cially some Americans. as the state
department has proof of checks which
have been given to American citizens
for propaganda and spy work

GASOLINE CONSERVATION

After a careful investigation of the
present gasoline situation, Mr.. Van
II Manning, director of the Bureau OF
Mines. of the Department OF the In
terror. has issued the following state
ment:
One-half OF the gasoline used in the
United States Zone billion. two hun
dred and fifty million gallons) is used
in pleasure riding
II Is estimated that the United
States army will need three hundred
and fifty million gallons for aero
planes. trucks. automobile tractors
and other machines. There is no way
of obtaining this in this country ex-
cept by saving from the existing sup
ply. and this economy may be effected
by voluntary cutting down of pleas
ure riding Uor instance. the man who
takes his family out on Sunday for a
nifty mile ride can cut this in half
II has been estimated that by eco
nomical use enough gasoline can be
saved TO supply not only the United
States, but also its allies for war pur
poses.

AMERICAN REQ CROSS
AND THE DEPENDENTS

The question having been raised al
to whether the Red Cross will assist
in taking care of dependent families
of soldiers and sailors called into SER
vice in this war. Mr.. Henry p. Davi-
son. chairman on behalf of the Red
Cross War council. authorizes the fol
lowing statement:
Obviously the task of providing for
the financial assistance of the families
OF our soldiers and sailors is so large
that the government alone can as
sumo it. In no other way can the bur-
den be discharged fairly and as a mat
ter of right rather than charity. No
volunteer organization or organiZa-
tions. could adequately cope with n
duty Of such magnitude.
The American people will not. of
course. permit families 10 suffer want
because their bread-winners are fight
ing for their country. Cases will un-
doubtedly arise wherein the allowance
of the government will not be ade-
quate to protect a family from finan-
cial distress. Such Instances the Red
Cross will hope TO provide for through
its chapters.
The Red Cross chapters can and
will provide also the friendly services
which may be needed and acceptable
because of ill-health or other misfor-
tune or because of family conditions.

Grande river. The other ''shirker" is
an Italian who is at present in San

A lot of clerical work in relation to
these claims for exemptions was done
by the members of the board before
the formal meeting today, but it was
largely of a routine character. In
passing on the applications for exemp-
ton on the ground of dependency all
members of the board are required to
concur. 1t is not necessary for the
claimant to appear before the board
cred, in fact. he is not expected TO do
so. altho. it is understood. that the
board may hear his plea if il desires
to do so. Only such reasons as the
government outlines can be consid-
cred by the board and all pleas for
excuses on other grounds cannot be
given a bearing. Absolute impartial
ity and fairness to all will govern the
board in its work and unless the pc
titioners have good legal excuse for
exemption he will have no show what
ever of getting it.
The work of the board is very ex-
acting and it will probably be week
or more before it gets thru with 1t.
