knitting trench caps or helmets, for
the soldiers, as the war department
is now including a knitted trench cap
in each mans equipment. Red Cross

that they should devote their efforts
to knitting sweaters, socks and wrist

LESSON IN
ADVERTISING
Professor Lindley Thinks Publicity Is
Greatest Marvel of the Age.

Setting aside the generally accepted
belief that electricity and flying ma
chimes are the greatest marvels of the
age, DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of
the University of Idaho, last week stat
ed in Pullman, Wash, that in his be-
lief the greatest marvel of the present
age is the remarkable development of
advertising to that point where the adj
vertiser can impress his wishes upon
people, possibly thousands of miles
away, and cause them to do the thing
the advertiser wants them to do.
President Lindley spoke on the sub
ject at Pays to Advertise" hsi adj
dress being the feature of the annual
open meeting of the Fortnightly Club
of Pullman. The speaker dealt with
advertising from the standpoint Of
psychology its effect upon the mind of
the person it reaches. He gave num-
Der of interesting tests to the audi
ence to prove that constant advertis-
ing impresses the item advertised upon
the minds of the people, quoting parts
of time-worn advertising slogans while
the audience clamored to complete the
slogan.

MAPLE SUGAR
SEASON HERE

Owing to the scarcity and high cost
of sugar, the maple sugar harvest
this year should be the largest ever
known. Upper Wisconsin, if proper
methods are used, can furnish the
markets with thousands of pounds
of this most palatsble sweet. Every
year in this near vicinity hundreds of
people engage in the industry, the
largest amounts being made in west
ern Wood and eastern Clark counties.
Now is the time to tap naples, for
the season is on when the thermom-
eter registers we'll above freezing in
the day time and the sap is shooting
upwards through the body Of the tree.
Gathering sap is simple operation.
A hole is bored into the tree, about
tree-eighths Of an inch in diameter
and two inches deep. A wooden or
iron spout is then inserted and a tin
pail hung upon to catch the flow of
sap. Watching the pals that they
do not overflow and emptying them
into a boiling kettle is usually the
work of boys and girls. Syrup and
sugar are then obtained by boiling
the water out of the syrup.

In the short period Of three years
Germany transformed the United
States from a friend and admirer into
an enemy at war. This fateful change
was due TO a number Of causes. OF
these the most wide-reaching was the
war OF the German government on our
county during a time when We, IN our
blindness, supposed We were at peace.
The war in Europe was not three
months old when there was established
In New York an advertising agency"
under the charge of German named
Won Igel This office was raided one
day in April, 1916, by four United
States secret service agents. They
forced their way past the giant who
always stood guard over the inner Of
fee and after a fierce struggle in
which Won Igel fought like a tiger"
arrested him and seized the mass of
papers in his possession.
The reason for Won Igers tiger-like
fight became clear at a glance. Here
in the form or letters, kilograms, re-
ceipts, account-books, etc, etc, was
supplied detailed and absolutely con-
vincing evidence that the German gov
eminent had been engaged for
United States.
Among the papers were those show
ing that Won Papen, the military at
tach6 of the German embassy, had
maid out money for placing bombs in
American merchant ships, and that
Ambassador Won Bernstorff himself
had signed checks to pay certain
American newspaper men to spread
the pro-German gospel, while they
posed as disinterested American citi,
Zens.
Other entries showed Germany
using our territory to work up an Irish
revolution against Great Britain, main
tanning a spy system, supporting a
bureau for the purpose of stirring W
strikes in munition plants and else
where, and paying stated sums OF
money to certain newspaper owners
who were glad to place their newspa-
pers at the service of the German gov
eminent for value received.
The Won Igel papers cover only q
comparatively small part of the Ger
man war against the United States in
1914-16.
Won Igel and Won Papen, it appeared
from other sources, superintendent per
sonally the making Of bombs on the
German steamer Friedrich der Crosse
interned in New York harbOr, and saw
that they were slowed away safely il
the holds of outgoing ships.
Another member Of this band o
plotters was DR.. H. F. Albert. He ar
rived from Germany with a letter o
credit for four million dollars in hi
pocket, and the assurance that h
| might have forty million altogether
He was to use it to manufacture pub
lie opinion, to purchase the votes o
Congressman, and to do whatever els
would advance the great cause.

How Germany Made War
on Us in Time of Peace
By ". A SCOTT, Director of the Course of Commerce
University of Wisconsin

by hiding bombs in the coal bunkers
of ships and tying them to rudder
posts. At his trial models of bombs
of his own invention were exhibited.
By his own confession and that Of his
partner the money for this combiDa-
ton of treachery aud murder was sup
piled by the German secret police.
In this dirty business the directing
spirit was the ambassador of the Ger
man Government, Johann Won BeTns-
torff. An ambassador is a guest Of
the nation to which he is sent and is
supposed to behave as such. But TO-
nearly three years before his recall
he devoted himself to intrigue and the
plotting of violence and murder. His
best remembered words while among
US will always be those of his letter to
his government in which he asked foI
authority to spend fifty thousand dol.
lars, ''in order, as on former occasions,
to influence Congress through the OF
ganization you know Of
Not contented with waging war
upon US directly, Germany tried to stir
up bad blood between US and our
neighbors by treacherously violating
our hospitality. Her agents used our
plots with discontended Hindoos
against India. They helped to promote
movements which were intended to
tear Ireland and Canada from the
British Empire. From our side of the
| border they made a number of direct
| attacks upon Canada, such as the
| dynamiting of the international rail
| road bridge at Vanceboro, Maine, and
| the attempt to destroy the locks Of
the Welland canal
Mexico received much attention
from these gentlemen. Germany hand
ed over six hundred thousand dollars
| to the eXiIed Huerta to enable him tC
stir up a new revolution in his unfoE
tunate country, placed one of her war
ships at his disposal, and supplied him
with arms. The famous Zimmerman
letter, of January, 1917, will be re
membered by everyone.
In this letter the German ministe-
| of foreign affairs proposed that in
case of war with the United States
Mexico and Japan should join with
Germany; and promised Mexico she
| should receive as her share of the
plumber New Mexico, Arizona, and
| Texas.
In this long list of outrages nothing
has been said about the submarine
warfare waged against us. 1t began
with the sinking of the Lusitania, May
z, 1915, when ia American citizens,
men, women and children were foully
murdered on the high seas. 1t con
tinued till the toll Of American lives
had reached twice that number.
The German government stops a
nothing. She has become a danger tt
the whole world. The danger from
her, when we at length broke off rela
tions, was not remote and problemat
icaI. It was at hand. She was actually
making war upon us.
