RIDDER GOT GERMAN MONEY
German Editor In New York Received
Twenty Thousand Dollars For
Pro-German Work.

New York.-Perley Morse, expert
accountant retained by Morton E..
Lewis, state attorney general, to in
vestigate the financial transactions in
this county of Paul Bolo Pasha, Ger
man spy and propaganda now under
arrest in Paris, made public the testi.
mony given by Adolf Pavenstedt, for
mer head Of the banking house OF G..
Amsinck & Co.. to the effect that he
lent $4,000 to the late Herman Rid
der, publisher OF the New Yorker
Stats Zeitung. Pavenstedt has adj
mitted that Bolo's negotiations with
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador to the United States, were
conducted through him. Amsinck &
Co. handled German funds for Bolo.
Pavenstedt's testimony concerning
the Ridder check was given on Oct.
IL but not made public at that time,
''for reasons connected with the pur-
poses of the investigation. 1t showed
that $4,000 of the payment came
from Dr.. Bernhard Dernburg, former
German colonial minister and direct

any member Of his family ever knew
of Dernburg's connection with the

While we are on military matters

Most Admired Statue.

What is the most admired statue In
Washington The memorial to Mrs.
Adams by Mr.. Saint Gaudens, thinks
Mr.. Moore. He says that "in spite Of
the remoteness of location and the diff
flculty of finding 1t In Rock Creek ceme-
terry, no other work of art In Washing
ton is really seen by SO many people.
Undoubtedly the element of mystery In
both figure and setting has TO do with
Its fame; but prefer to think that In
this memorial the sculptor has ex.
pressed (using his own words to mel
the soul face to face with the great
est of all mysteries'-the problem. IL q
man die shall he live again?'
Such piece Of sculpture, touching
every mind and heart, outwears in its
appeal all the colossa, figures and
speaking likenesses. 1t would triumph
in any referendum and need never feas
a verdict Of recall.--New York Sun.

the eternal principles of justice and
Of right, nation which has sought
from the earliest days Of its existence
to be obedient to the divine teachings
which have inspired 1t in the exer-
else of It's liberties, to turn always to
the supreme Master and cast them
selves in faith at his feet, praying for
his aid and succor in every hour of
trial, to the end that the great aims to
which our fathers dedicated our pow
er as a people may not perish among
men, but be always asserted and de-
Tended with fresh ardor and devotion
and, through the divine blessing, set
at least upon enduring foundations
for the benefit of all the free peo-
pies OF the earth;
Nov, therefore. I, Woodrow. Will

laid upon US, to the end that the cause
for which we give our lives and treas

MOVING FOR A DRY CHICAGO.

Chicago is in wet and dry cam
paign. Its citizens, men and women,
will vote upon the question next April.
"It is the largest city In the world
that ever organized to put its saloons
out of business" says Rev. Philip Var

60 federation, who Is firm In his belief
that the day will win, provided all vot-
ers opposed to the saloon will register
and vote. The federation has special
committee which will look after per-
sons who are thrown out Of employ
ment by the prohibitory law. Where
one man loses his job by the closing Of
saloons, 1t is stated ten, win be opened

Recommending Camp Jackson as q
desirable site for target practice
range, Col. Smith of the Fifty-seventh
infantry states that Camp Jackson Of
fers unusual advantages for an ideal
rife range, in that 1t has Kitchens and
other necessary conveniences already
built, and is now piped for water sup
ply. Many of the camps are. to be
used In order to allow all of the fight
ing forces to have rifle practice. The
recommendation of Col. Smith states
that this camp would be ideal for one
regiment at q time, which could be
brought from nearby camps. especial
ly from Chickamauga. He suggests
that they be brought here and placed
on a range located about mile from
Camp Jackson, where an S00-yard
range can be established. and that
they remain here for period Of three
weeks each.

A DRY DIVISION,

Gen. John F. Organ, commander of
the New York National Guard, is ma
Jor general in the United States army.
He Is one OF only two of the National
Guard officers to be thus honored.
General Organ, who last year put his
10000 border troops on the water wag-
on, takes bone-dry division Of $1,000
men to France. In an address issued
to every one of these men on their re-
sponsibility for the efficiency of the
division, he said this:
"Alcohol, whether you call It beer,
wine, whisky, or by any other name, Is
breeder Of inefflciency. While 1t
affects men differently, the results are
the same, in that all affected by 1t
cease for the time to be normal. Some
become forgetful. others quarrelsome.
Some become noisy, some get sick,
some sleepy; others have their pas
sions greatly stimulated. When you
stop to consider the thousands In
division, do you not see how vital to eff
ficiency is the elimination Of liquor?
If one officer or man is permitted to
use liquor, then others will claim the
right to do SO. How can division of
troops be ever ready-ever up on the
bit to drive ahead or thrust back the
enemy's drive-if through the presence
of this insidious evil some soldiers for
get their orders or become noisy when
silence is essential, fall asleep when
every faculty should be alert, or are
absent from their posts?"
Would that every soldier boy in our
army could serve under such wise
general. And the mothers, wives, sis
tiers and sweethearts of the enlisted
men will echo this wish.

SIGNIFICANT slpELIoHTs.

In the first weekend under Nebras.
ka's dry law, one Omaha store reports,
the sales Of infants shoes increased
per cent. At the end Of the second
and third weeks the increases were
still more marked. A woman told a
department manager that when the sa-
looms were open her husband spent one
half Of his weekly earnings for liquor.
Now, after a few weeks of prohibition,
she had 500 in the savings bank, and
had bought 81 worth Of cooking uten-
sils, articles she had needed for years.
This Is just one of many similar sto-
ries from dry states.
