TEUTON IPLOMACY REVEALED
TO WORLD IN ITS t1IDEOUSNFSS
NEWEST "CUB" ON
KANSAS CITY STAR
SENDING IN COPY
Colonel Roosevelt Writes in
Long Hand on Both Sides
of the Paper and Gets
Away With It..

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 22.-Another
precedent in the office of the Kansas
City Star is shattered tonight. The
newest cub" reporter turned in all
his copy in long hand on both sides of
the sheet with the lines so close to-
gether that they threatened collisions
all over the page-and got away with
it,
The reporter is ex-president Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Copy readers on the Star are shaking
their heads obviously tonight. A regu-
lar diet Of Rooseveltian long hand will
bring additional hars-they are cer-
tain of that.
WANT TO SEE HIS STUFF.
So far what the colonel wrote is a
mystery, except to the managing edit
ors There had been no Roosevelt by
lines" in the Star UP to the late edi-
tions-but the office boys are hoping
that tomorrow's Sunday edition will
have something by the new guy"
They want to see what sort of stuff he
turns out.
The Colonel wasted little time after
his arrival in the city early today.
Within an hour after he had returned
the greetings of a monster crowd he
was on the job at his desk In the Star.
He peeled off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, seized paper and pencil and
started to work.
LOOKS BETTER IN PRINT.
From then on until lunch nobody
paid much attention to the new re-
porter and he paid less attention to
other people, Sheet after sheet of
copy paper, well filled on both sides,
slid under his lead pencil and went to
the editorial desk. Curious copy
readers cast one glance at the long
hand and then bent over the type
written sheets of otherNreporters. None
of the colonel's copy got to their desks
they say, and while they all like to
read Roosevelt, they agree that he is
better in print than in long hand-on
both sides of the paper.

night made this announcement To the

not far distant future"

CHEERING THOUSANDS
I'm CITY STREETS.

Tremendous enthusiasm greeted the
news in the city. Great crowds pour
ed out of all business houses or jour
neyed from their homes downtown to
mass in excited, cheering marching
thousands.
The demonstration was orderly. The
public accepted it as an accomplished
fact that the nation would declare
WAR No one thought that Germany
could ever furnish satisfactory expla-
nation for the Michaevellian intriguing
of Count Luxburg and his advice that
Argentine ships "spurlos versenkt."
German residents of Buenos Aires
were cautious. Downtown business
firms with German names barricaded
their doors and windows, evidently
fearing a repetition of the rioting a
fortnight ago. German residents re
manned indoors and generally kept
their homes dark.

BY CARL d. GROAT.
United Press Staff Correspondent.

Unlted Press Staff Correspondent.
Washington, Sept. 22.-Teuton di-
plomacy-that crude, sinister thing,
stretching its claws out from Wilhelm
strasse to all the world-was revealed
here tonight in an official expose as
plotting "frightfulness" within this ma
tion.
From the won Igel papers long in
the possession of the government. the
committee on public investigation
pieced together story stranger and
more startling than fiction showing
that Germany, through her embassy,
was concerned with:
Destruction of lives and property
in merchant vessels on the high
seas.
Violation of the laws of the Unit
cd States.
Irish revolutionary plots against
Great Britain.
Fomenting ill feeling against the
United States in Mexico.
Subordination of American writ
crs and lecturers.
Financing of propaganda.
Maintenance of a spy system un-
der the guise of a commercial in,
vestigation bureau.
Subsidizing a bureau to stir up
labor troubles in munition plants.
The bomb industry and other re-
lated activities.
Across the page streaked the name
of Count Bernstorff, former German
ambassador and his aides, Won Papen
and Boy Ed, attaches of the embassy
WOULD EXTEND THE WAR.
Atop of this new revelation linking
the German embassy with throttling
designs against the United States, came
Senator King today in the upper con-
gress branch, revealing letters that
proved Fair Play" and other radical
newspapers had fattened on the lar
gesse of German and Austrian agents.
He advised wedding out the propagan-
dists and counselled making war on
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. Con-
gress siZzled over the state depart
ment's expose of Bernstorffs attempt
to get $4,000 for influencing congress
"as on former occasions"
The state department disclaimed any
intent to blacken any congressman S
name, but indicated that 1T did not feel
a congress probe of Bernstorffs ac-
tivities would do much good.
THE TEUToN PLoTTlNGS.
out of the Won Igel expose may be
detailed this brief. though perhaps dis
jointed account of Teuton plottings

and .\ustriat were at peace.
In April, 1916. secret service men

Igel in New York. He claimed to be
on German territory and defied the
result. They did not shoot, but they got
his papers-damning evidences of a di-
rect chain between the German en-
bassy and plotters who would bomb
munition ships, who would upset Ire
land--papers that showed Judge CO.
halan of New York as direct aide of
the embassy in its anti British work !:
checks that showed embassy payments
to Teuton helpers such as foreign Ian
guage newspapers editors; documents
that convicted the Teutons of fomens-
ing the Sir Roger Easement Irish re-
bellion; along with offers from Ameri-
cans to do dastardly work such as
blasting munitions plants.
Marcus Braun, editor of Fair Play
figured in both the committee expose
and the senate discussion. Other news

STARTED ON OLD LECTURE.

Friends of ToWnley declared tonight
that as president of the Nom Partisan
league, which called the mass meeting,
he had warned la Toilette not to at
tack the administration and that La
Toilette substituted an old lecture on
representative government" instead
of his specially prepared speech at
tack AS the audience enthused, the
senator warmed up, and he threw down
his manuscript and launched into an
attack on the war.
Townley's friends also saw political
motives in the demand for the arrest
of the leagues head. Townley whose
organization last year captured the
legislative and judicial offices in
North Dakota is opening similar
campaign in Minnesota now. Charges
of disloyalty and treason against the
organization now would injure its
chances of success. Many expressed
doubt whether the public safety com
mission would attempt to arrest the
two men. Abi-oaa,i t.v4

WORLDS SUPPLY

Great Deficiency Exists; the
Production Must Be in

Rome, italy, April 5--The worlds
food crop is deficient and the situa-
ton IS becoming alarming, according to
David Lubin, American representative
to the International Institute OF Agri-
culture. Mr.. Lubin is here to report the
facts TO president Wilson through am
bassador Page and is urging the i'm
perative necessity Of a mobilization of
American agricultural resources. To
q correspondent of the Associated Press
Mr.. Lubin said
For the first time in many years
there exists a deficit in the supply OF
corn. wheat. rye, barley and oats es-
timated al a total OF 10000. 600 bushels
less than the normal requirements for
countries open TO trade. The situation
is worse than was expected last Oc-
tOber. The Institutes reports indi-
Gated then surplus Of more than
enough to feed the world until August
of this year when the new crops begin
to come in.
We must profit by Europe's exper-
fence before meal tickets become neces-
sary. We can avoid high prices by the
eliminating Of waste by the growing OF
more food and also by effective or
ganizatiOn Of our food supplies which
is more important than getting men

Russia and the Jews
From the Nation.

ErOm tn6 NdtlUIl.
 The unhappy economic and cultural condition of the Russian Jews which inn pelled the late Theodor Terzl to bring forward his solution of separate home for his people could not have continued after the war, even if Czarism had sur vived. Jewish poverty was primarily the result of segregation within the provinces of the Pale in Poland and Lithuania. and restriction to the urban districts within that territory The Pale no long CT exists. It was destroyed by the in- vading Teutonc armies. The Jews of the western provinces were among the millions of refugees scattered through out the empire in Asia as well as in Europe The old regime was compelled to recognize an accomplished fact by removing the restrictions on Jewish dor
 icile, and, while such action was only for the duration of the war. it would have been an enormously difficult task U shepherd back the refugees to their old prison walls. The revolution has brought with 1t complete emancipation for the Jews To what extent the new regime is prepared to go is indicated by the appointment of a Jewish lawyer of Petrograd to the post of vice governor of the occupied territory in Galicia and Buckowina Given full freedom of resi- dence and of occupation the Jews of Russia are sure to find in the vast spaces of Russia an outlet for their ne- erges. The old economic misery can never return under democratic regime.
