BEWARE OF STORIES STARTED
BY THE ENEMY

Our government is constantly har-
raised by inquiries from people who
have been misinformed about mat
ters connected with the prosecution
of the war, and people should be
slow to believe, and still slower to
credit such stories, for our officials
and workers can put in their time
better than in hearing complaints
and founded on falsehoods.
Some good woman at Blackfoot
went all the way to Pocatello for
something recently and at that great
center Of intelligence she learned
that the commission of food control
10 going to make people give up all
of their canned fruits and vegetables
excepting six cans or jars per family.
She came home and circulated the
story 80 diligently that many other
people sallowed the story and pro-
ceeded to worry and stir up trouble.
Other stories are being persis-
tently spread to the effect that pack
ages sent to the boys in training
camps are not delivered to them un-
til after the payment Of tribute of
some kind. For example, they say
that "a has been paid for the release
and delivery Of sweaters, and various
other sums for other articles mailed
to our boys In our own camps in our
own country. Some say the officers
appropriate such things as they want
before reaching the persons address,
ed. Some say the Red Cross money
is used to buy Injuries for the Ger
man prisoners interned in the United
States; some say that a large part
OF the money goes for high salaries
and various CRAFTS and that only
part Of 1t ever reaches the proper
destination or use.
ALI of that kind of stuff might be
true, but when investigation is made
It turns out to be without founda-
tion. 1t is good enough for the
cause of Germany to keep us &C.
cupied with petty fussing among our
selves, and so long as we are suf-l
ficiently stupid to spend our time
and talents stewing over these trivial
matters that exist only in cratic
minds, we may expect to keep on
hearing of German. victories in
Europe.
The burden of the war is steadily |
settling upon America because the
others are wearing out, and it is up
to us to get down to business and |
do those acts which count for allied |
In the war. n Idle bicker-
ing and petty speculations and sus-
picions have no place in this fight
for life, and people should cease to
be childish about it. A good reply
~ bn IN
stories is to say, BE sure of the
truth of your story before you re-
peat it. The day is approaching
when you will be held responsible
for every statement you make or re-
peat, that might delay any PERSONS
work for the winning of the war;"

lives. II Mrs. Jones of Utica decided
to give her sister in Schenectady an
electric iron she must first ascertain
that alternating current, at 118 volts,
Is used in Schenectady. Then she
must purchase an iron made special

for 11-volt circuits, and there are

Six Steamers Sail
From New York for
Other Side Ports

New York, Feb. l8.-Six steamships
sailed from here for European ports
today, including the big Holland
America liner Noordam. None Of
them, as far as could be learned, car
ried passengers. The British steam
ship Verdi started for Liverpool, but
turned back and anchored off quaran-
tine, after proceeding as far as Sandy
Hook. No explanation was forthcom-
ing as to the reason for the Verdi's
return.
Besides the Noordam, the vessels
that put to sea today with freight
cargoes were the British steamer
Roman Prince, the Dutch steamer
Texel, the Spanish steamers Mar Ne
gro and Mouro. and the Swedish
steamer Helsingborg.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE practice
OF making public the destination and
manifests of merchant ships leaving
American ports is to be discontinued
during the crisis with Germany as a
step in the protection OF American
interests from the German submarine
campaign. :.
No word as to the port for which
any vessel sails or the cargo it car
ries will be made public by the goven-
ment officials, who grant clearance
and the great merchant feet carrying
American commerce abroad will come
and go with all the secrecy Of war
vessels in time of war.
This decision OF the Treasury de-
partment will be made effective at
once, it is said tonight, as a measure
of Drecautjon.

REPUBLICANS OF
HOUSE AT PEACE
Progressive Wing Will Support
Mann for Speaker if Len
root Be Floor Leader.
INDEPENDENTS IN CAUCUS

Washington, Feb. lS.-Four of the
FIVE so-called independent representa-
tlves-elect who may have the balance
OF power in the organization of the
next house, held a conference here
last night to make plans for cooper.
ton, but failed to agree to act as
unit on any proposal. They did
agree TO meet again shortly before
the convening OF the new congress.
after sounding out both democratic
and republican leaders as to their
attitude on reforms favored generally
by the independents.
Coincident with the meeting of the
independents, it developed that on the
republican side of the. house, where
split had been threatened over the
speakership, a peace proposal had
been brought forward, under which
the so-called progressive wing is ex.
pected to join in supporting Repre-
sentative Mann for speaker on the
condition that representative Len
root OF Wisconsin be made floor lead
er. The peace negotiations have been
going on quietly and well informed
members say they are showing good
results.
