House Member Warns
Against Extravaganza

Under the cloak OF war needs, Z"
government departments are becom-
ing grossly extravagant, Chairman
Sheriey. Of the House Appropriations
Committee declared in a warning
speech yesterday afternoon.
He said 81, 40, 600. 900 deficiencies have
been piled up already, some Of which
represent the desire of practically
every department. Of the government
TO use the war as an excuse for ex-
panding its activities and increasing
appropriations"
His plea resulted in defeat of a reso-
luton by Representative London. Of
New York. for a commission to in
vestigate after-the-war need of un-
employment and other social matters.

U. S. AWAREOF
BERNSTORFF'S
SPY MESSAGES
Revelations Show State De-
partment Long Familiar
with Duplicity Practiced.

The United States knew at the time
thew were transmitted the contents
of many of the messages which Count
Won Bernstorh, German Ambassador
here, sent to his government before
this country was drawn into the war.
The revelation of the Bernstorff
telegram telling of the connection be-
tween Joseph Caillaux, former pre-
mier of France, and Count Luxburg.
German charge at Buenos Aires, is
but one more from q bag Of tricks
in the State Department, which seems
to be an almost endless one.
1t had generally been supposed that
these various revelations of German
duplicity had been but recently ac-
quired by the state Department from
allied sources. Yesterdays revela-
ton indicates that the department
knew of what was going on long be-
fore the United States entered the
war. and probably acquired the
knowledge through the efforts of its
own secret agents.
Further Revelations.
Further revelations, 1t is predicted.
can be made at any time that circum-
stances seem to make them advisable.
Their character and their source still
remains a mystery. Their source, 1t
has been stated, may always remain
so.
The knowledge of how the Ger
man system worked is cited by one OF
the reasons why President Wilson
is so fixed in his determination that
no negotiations with the present
masters of Germany can end the
war.
The telegram made public yes
terday showing the dealings be-
tween Caillaux and the minister of
his country's enemy, was not one
of the dispatches sent by Count
Luxburg through the Swedish for
eign office to Berlin direct from
Buenos Aires. 1t was forwarded to
Washington and by Bernstorff pre-
sumably sent through the Swedish
minister here, w. A. F. Ekengren.
Mr.. Ekengren shortly after the
message was sent was summoned
to the State Department and warn
ed in a friendly way that he had
better no longer permit Bernstorff
to send messages in code over the
Swedish diplomatic guarantee. Mr..
Ekengren admitted that he had sent
these messages upon Bernstorff's
assurance that they were innocent.
The practice was stopped. however,
and it is presumed that after this
stoppage Luxburg opened up the
channel ffom Buenos Aires.
American and French officials re-
fuse comment on the Caillaux dis
closures. 1t is admitted, however.
that they show indisputably that
Caillaux was in touch with the enc
mics of France, that he received
favor from them, that the favors
were reciprocated and that he made
every effort, seconded by the Ger
man, government, to conceal the
friendly attitude which he bore.

Boosts New System.

THE Rural Motor Express means

way Transport Committee, and calls
attention to the resolution passed by
the National Council of Defense.

MOTOR TRUCK MEANS

The motor truck as a means 81
rural and inter-city transportation hit
been in vogue in Indiana, radiaung
from several cities.
This system is already in success
full operation in Connecticut and is b.
ing extended throughout the ccuntrs
Richmond has developed the Eotaf
truck as a means of sending its shic-
ments to q score OF villages in al Gi-
rections. going out as far as thirty
miles. These motor trucks have fur
nished both freight and passenger
service and the routes were developed
with the idea of loads both ways.
With the need pointed out by the
State Council of Defense OF making
this motor truck transportation part
of every community, the benefits or
this motor truck transportation has
been catalogued by Nj. Z. Noblett, sec
rotary of the Hoosier State Automo-
bile Association.
There are three great economic ad-
vantages, according to Mr. NCbi It, in
this method of transportation: Food
production is stimulated since the
regular outlet to market encourages
many farmers to expand production
which they would not be justified in
doing if they were obliged to trans
port their own produce to market
Shortage of labor is greatly Offset
from the fact that the system leaves
the farmer on the farm and his time
is not consumed in trips to market.
There is immediate improvement in
the eficiency of the farm since sup
plies. machinery, and repairs can be
secured promptly from city distribu-
tiers of fertilizers and farm ma
chinery.
From the national standpoint these
routes aid in several ways:
They relieve the railroads Of local
freight which permits carload lots OF
materials and foodstuffs from distant
points to enter the terminals
They help to avoid the necessity

Indiana must take advantage OF the
opportunity that the motor truck Of
fers in improved transportation. espe-
ciaily for short-haul traho, said Mr..
Foley
Using the motor truck to the high
est efficiency. hauling at lowered
costs and saving in man power is a
patriotic duty.
The success of the Rural Motor Elk
press. where It has been instituted.
has been marked The present strain
on our transportation system has
emphasized the need OF improved
means Of internal communication, not
only between cities, but reaching into
every agricultural community.
1t is patriotic necessity to bring
the consumer IN closer touch with
producer. to relieve the producer OF
the burden of hauling and marketing
his produce and to permit him to re-
main on the land where his labor Is
OF highest value to the community.
In the efficient development of the
motor truck. it is evident that the Re
turn Loads is necessary. Every mile
OF motor truck travel should be
utilized in hauling freight to a degree
of 100 per cent. efficiency.

This step has been taken in spite of the fact that until now the Argen- tines principal source of revenue has been its customs houses.
 To show its sincerity the Argen- tine Government has introduced bii! in Congress providing for the opening of diplomatic negotiations with all the neighbor,ng countries for the adopt ion of treaties providing for the free exchange of the products Of each country concerned.

 A years trial of free trade with Peru has led Argentina to seek similar arrangements with the other repub- lies. The Peruvian legation in Bueno. Aires and the Argentine consulate in Lima have acted as commercial agents for their respective countries with the result that today there is a regular trade of wheat, flour and cereals to Peru in exchange for cotton, rice and sugar from Peru.
 1t is expected that Chile will be the next republic to ratify a free trade treaty.
