SPIES SHOOTING CRAPS.
WITH KAISER'S MONEY

NEW YORK, March 18.-Have Ger
nan spies in New York been shooting
craps with the funds of Wilhelstrasse
Or have these spies been using the
chemin de fer table and the poker
club as a means of entrapping the
persons from whom they were en-
deavoring to get information?
A hint that something of this sort
has occurred was found in an an
rouncement yesterday afternoon by
District Attorney Swami that detec-
tives from his office, in raid on a
gambling room, had unearthed inn
portant facts about the activities of
sries. Mr.. Swami said the facts are
so important that not even the adj
dress of the gambling house could be
made known until the federal au-
thorities had examined the material
seized, which will be turned over to
them this morning.
1--WE feel" said Mr. Swami, that
the matter will be of interest to the
federal government All I can say is
that we have obtained some facts
about spies"
The raid was one of two made yes
terday under the district attorney s
direction.

scAND|AAV|ANs ARE
TARGETS OF GERMANY

LONDON, March IS. - The newest
and a novel display of German pol
icy has come in the form of a sud-
den broadside of denunciation of the
Scandinavian countries by German
newspapers and publicists, like Coun5
Zu Reventlow of the Tageszelting.
From the similarity of the articles
it is evident that they are directed
by one mind, which mind apparently
is the German government.
These articles accuse the Scandna-
Wan countries substantially of being
accimplices of the Entente and warn
them that therefore they can expect
no consideration from Germany. The
reason for this policy is plain to diplo-
Finland thus far seem to be designed
to make Finland q minor German
kingdom, with the Emperor's son,
Prince Oscar, on the throne, and to
make another Heligoland of the Aland
Islands.
This scheme is a direct blow against
Sweden, and in a less degree gainst
Denmark and Norway, and is in line
with the German Emperor's boast
that the Baltic lands have been made
permanently German
The Aland Islands geographically
are as much part of Sweden as New
foundland is of Canada. Through
out the war Sweden has been troubled
by the fear that Russia would take
them German now occupies the
islands temporarily, but the German
flag flies over the public buildings,
and no one believes it will ever come
down except by force. The most prac-
teal effect of German control of Fin
land and the Aland Islands is pointed
cut by Count zu Reventlow, who says
they will no longer be used as a com
mercial bridge between Scandinavia
and Russia. This is the bar to Ameri
can as well as British trade with Rus

builders, cabinet makers canvas work
ere carpenters, chauffeurs, clerks
cooks, coppersmiths, cordage workers

MIX BURSTING
 CHARGES NOW IN
 GERMAN SHELLS

Paris, July 23.-That the bursting long-range guns is mixed while the projectiles are in actual flight is the belief of French scientists, according to technical journal published here
 When the smelling of Paris begun it was noticed that the explosion of a shell produced a cloud of black smoke mixed with a little that was white and accompanied by a strong smell of ether. Recently the smoke has been entirely white and very light the ether odor persisting.
 No shell that failed to explode has been found nor even an entire fuse, indicating how delicate and reliable the explosive is. This fact leads ex- parts to suppose that the shell is charged with two liquid explosives, separated by the perforated partition which is known to exist in the center of the projectile.
 When the shell is fired at a high angle the liquid in the upper end rcombines with that in the lower cham Der, and churned by the violent rota- tion, produces at the moment of i'm pact, three minutes later, a perfect mixture. This would explain, it is said, the ability of the charge to re- sist the enormous shock when fired and the remarkable uniformity of the explosions.

THE BURY THE HAMMER CUUB.

Mrs. Broadmind. at our last meet ing, felt moved to make few re- marks as to why civic movements off, ten fail to accomplish what they hope.
 There are too many people D she said, who want to know who starts a thing before they will do anything to help. If a good public movement is started by some one without much social prestige or backing, a lot of people will have nothing to do with it. They say it did not have the hammer 1t until the person who real ly had a good idea becomes discour- aged, lets it drop, and one more good proposition is done to death."
 The knockers seem to feel that in some way their social prestige will be prejudiced if they allow themselves to be identified with people who do AS result, unless you can get the social leaders of the town to back thing, 1t will be knocked to death"
 How much better it is, when any one suggests a good idea, for the so- cial leaders to encourage them to push it, and take a secondary posi- ton if necessary in backing it, and let some one else have a little credit"
 Mrs. Broadmind's remarks were | greeted with applause.

MOTORWOMEN
 NOW IN LONDON

London, July -"Motorwomen" have arrived in London at last In the provinces, notably in Glasgow, women have been on the front end of tramway cars for several years, but in London some of the city officials ob- jected to them. The scarcity of men, however, has increased to such an ex- tent that these objections were finally overcome.
 The first women to actually run tramway cars appeared in the bor- ough of Walthamstow a few days ago, and it is the intention of the tram way company officials to hire more women as rapidly as they can be trained. They are to receive the same wages as the men.

 Moreover, these men in charge of supplying the Army have now author ity to purchase the material best suit ed to their purposes. They can dis regard the old rule of the lowest bid der and obtain the best not the cheap est, "Our boys deserve it." they say
 Manufacturers of the rolling kitch- en say that the United States has the best models. We already have sev- eral kinds of them. The Liberty kitch- en, like all uniform equipment, has advantages which have already been cited for standardized motors, trucks, etc. Manufacturers predict that a rolling kitchen will eventually replace the field kitchens and bake ovens. But the first order for 15,OOO is only for the aero service.

RED CROSS MUST
 BAR ALL POLITICS.
Those Who Aspire to Such Honors Must Resign
 From Body.

New York, July 23.---If you are an official of or worker for the Red Cross and intend to run for public off, flee or participate in politics in any way, you'd better resign.
 This, in effect, is the message con- veyed yesterday by George E. Scott, Acting General Manager of the Red Cross, to Ethan Allen, Manager of the Atlantic Division.
 "The first general election since the entrance of the United States into the war;" reads the letter, lis to, take place before long. The Red Cross is and must be maintained a strictly non-partisan, non-political organiza- tion. The reasons for this are so ob- vious to everybody that they need no elaboration"
 Emphasizing that 1t is impossible for Red Cross official to separate his humanitarian work from his po- litical endeavors, 1t is remarked that mo taint of selfishness or self-seek- ing can be allowed to creep into the work, endangering and even perhaps destroying its great accomplishment"
 Accordingly, writes MT. Scott, "'the Red Cross War Council instructs me to direct that you request all off cia1s of the Red Cross, either in chap ters or division headquarters, who are in any position of executive authority and who at the same time contem- plate candidacy for public office, either to resign in their official capac- ity from the Red Cross or to refrain from such candidacy. At the same time, we ask that you give this state ment the broadest publicity and that you use every influence of your office to prevent, in so far as is possible, the use of the Red Cross of of it's ser vices, either directly or indirectly, in the advancement or or in connection with the political campaign of any person." ~

RECRUITING BRISK
 NOW IN IRELAND

Dublin, July 23-Lieutenant Percy, Director of Naval Recruiting in Ire land, declares that recruiting for the British Navy was never more brisk in Ireland than St is at present. There are Irishmen in every department from the Admirals down, and the re- cruiters in the towns and villages throughout Ireland are always warm ly welcomed.
 Dublin has just given a cordial send off to a number of recruits of the Trawler section of the Royal Naval Reserve. This branch appeals parti- cularly to Irish fisher boys who have experienced in the past few months around the Irish coasts the cruelty with which the German submarine campaign is conducted.
 The recruits paraded the streets of Dublin accompanied by bluejackets and marines and the band of the Berkshire Regiment. Among the in scriptions on the banners in the pro- cession were:
 "The Germans are sinking Irish ships and murdering Irishmen, Join us and avenge these crimes"
 We are Beatty's boys brother Irishmen, come along"

COULD BUILD.
 SPEEDY AIRPLANES

London, July 23-"It would be very easy for any English airplane manu- facturer to produce a machine which could make better than 25O miles an hour" declared Captain W. G. Aston, one of the leading English experts on air mechanics, here the other day.
 This could be accomplished" he explained, "by merely altering the curvature, or camber, of the planes. But this would mean a minimum landing speed of about 15O miles an hour, and there is the great difficulty The machine would be unquestionably i f1yable, but it's successful landing would require an aerodrome five or six miles long, to say nothing of ex. traordinary skill on the part of the pilot"

"OIL CAMOUFLAGE"
 GERMAN SCHEME

London, July 23-Tricky German U-boat commanders have conceived a new plan designed to deceive crews of the allied submarine destroyers in the game of hide and seek in European waters. When a depth bomb is dis charged and does not cripple or de- stroy the German under-sea boat, as some times happens, quantity of oil is released by some device of the sub mersible and quickly rises to the wa ter's surface.
 The hope of the German boat cap tain is that the commander of the de- stroyer will see the oil, believe that the submarine has been wrecked and drop no more depth charges. Mean time, the German is endeavoring to escape.
 American and British commanders of destroyers and submarine chasers discovered the scheme of the Germans some time. ago and since then have been dropping depth bombs in greater numbers than previously, using the oil as a guide to the general location of their target.
 "Oil camolfage" the American and British navy men call this latest Ger man submarine trick.
