A complete cessation Of the manu-

time for civilian purposes is seen in
the announcement that manufacturers
of the goods have made an agreement
with the war department that they
will supply their entire output to the
government.
The war department is 50 urgent In
its desire for quick deliveries that II
has nullifled the agreements for GER
tain fixed quantities each month and
pending contracts will be rushed to
completion without any regard to
monthly specified deliveries.
All the important rubber concerns
In the country are affected and will
devote practically their entire atten-
ton for many weeks to the delivery

and other articles of footwear for the

SPEND MILLIONS
TO SPREADLIES

up to few months ago the propa-
ganda concentrated against England in
an effort to isolate that nation. Every
neutral country in the world was flood
ed with false Information regarding
England and her purposes in the war.
Now the attack is switching from
England to the United States. Every
possible effort to poison the minds of
the people in certain parts Of the coun-
try Is being resorted to. the effort be-
ing especially vicious in those parts of
the country where the percentage of
illiteracy is greatest. and among the
negroes. The special story which is
being whispered over the country
and we are the. victims Of what Is
known as the whispering propaganda
is that this is a war of the wealthy
classes. and that the president plunged

the country into the struggle to save
the milliOnaires' as well as to safe
guard Americas huge loans and cred
its to the allied countries.
1--WE have even established the fact
that the propaganda has penetrated
into the mountain Businesses OF the
Carolinas and Georgia. where the
mountaineers have been led to believe
that another, Civil war is imminent.
Lies About Rainbow Division.
"The disaster story has also been
worked to a finish in all parts of the
country. The Rainbow division has
been picked out as the victim Of this
phase of the propaganda. because 1t
represents all sections of the country,
and disaster which overwhelmed that
command would have its effect In all
parts of the nation, and not In some
particular section.
'This is the source Of all those mys-
FERROUS rumOrs to the effect that this
or that regiment In the Rainbow d.
vision has been annihilated.
South America at this moment IS
swamped with pamphlet entitled FL
Vampire del COntinente,' which Is per-
haps the most vicious attack on ma
ton ever published. and the nation IN
this instance is the United States.
"SOme months ago there was sent 10
South America for circulation a little
officially prepared document entitied
why America Went to War. Instead
of making friends for us the book LOST
them, and an investigation was or
dered. This investigation led to the
discovery that the Germans had got
hold of the genuine documents. AFTER
which they proceeded to substitute an
edition of their own. The spurious
edition was the same as the Ameri'
can, with the exception that the Ger
mans inserted a preface.
1.-The preface was cleverly written.
and to the ordinary person read Us IL
1t had been prepared by our govern
ment. But the statements In the pref
ace did not bear out the facts IN the
rest of the book anc SO instead OF De-
lieving what we said thousands OF peo-
pie who read the book came to the
conclusion that we were lying. Proper
steps are now being taken to counter
act this work of the enemy propa'
ganda.

cept on the surface, to a depth Of
200 and even 300 feet. While this has
been popularity attributed to long
continued low temperature in winter,
the interesting theory has recently
been advanced by q scientist that the
condition is due to far colder
weather that obtained In some pre-
vious age, and that protective vegeta-
ton ON the surface has kept the frost
in the ground permanently since then.
It has been found that when moss
has been cleared away for Open-cut
mining or farming, the upper level
of the grounds frost seemed gradually
to descend. If such is the case, 1t may
show that present temperatures are
not low enough to freeze the ground
to the great depths cited abOve.-POp-

Italy Spending 5 Millions Daily

So far no serious attempt has been
made to improve the food situation In
Italy. which is gradually getting worse.
not so much on account of acute short
age Us to disOrganized distribution and
artificial increase Of prices due to the
speculatiOns of middlemen and to ex-
tensive boarding. Sensational revela-
tons are being made In the local press
about the profits of middlemen espe-
cially in respect to animal food. For
instance, 1t has been ascertained that
the lamb market has been cornered by
middlemen. who are buying lambs at
IL cents q pound and selling them to
retailers at over SLIGO. with the re-
suit that the market prices Of lamb
have risen to almost 81 q pound.

Strangely enough no action has yet
been taken against the denounced mid
dlemen while boarding Is being re-
pressed in a half-hearted way. despite
the fact that all the shops and restau-
rants raided afforded convincing proof
that cheese. fats and f0odstuffs of
every description are being hidden and
sold at fancy prices. A few arrests
have been made, but the measures 80
far adopted are inadequate to improve
existing conditions.
As the patience Of citizens IL well.

lar dissatisfaction and resentment win
lead to disorders and thus weaken ma

situation is apt to become serious ow-
ing to an impending offensive on the
Italian front. Radical and energetic
measures are therefore imperative.
