HIGH MILK COST
 CAUSES CHILDREN
 TO RECEIVE BEER

New York, July 16.---The high price of milk has driven many of the mothers of this city to feed their children beer, according to a report made yesterday by the Mayors Com mittee of Women on National De- fence. Tea and coffee are also being substituted for milk in many homes.
 It is proposed to meet the condi- tion by an organized effort in which money for milk will be contributed by the public. Alfred J. Johnson City Chamberlain, will be custodian of the fund. lIr. Johnson, has au- thorized the committee to use his own contribution of $500, intended for free ice.
 Upon investigation,' says the com mittee, the appalling situation is shown that 21 per cent. of the child ren in Greater New York between the l ages of two and six years are under fed. To remedy this evil is a neces- sary war measure. The cost of food stuffs has risen over 100 per cent. and 1t has been discovered that many | children have been given tea, coffee, beer, etc, rather than the necessary | nourishment
 Ten dollars will supply the neces- sary quantity of milk for one child for the summer months. All sub
 scriptions, large or small, can be sent | to Alfred J. Johnson, City Chamber | lain, treasurer, at the municipal build- | ing"

 'In three of the largest plants of this city on July , and 10000 hours of productive labor was lost by the employees in these plants alone, stay ing out these two days Our armies are proving their valor in the shell ridden trenches of France, but to keep those boys there and to bring this war to successful termination it is as necessary that the industrial army be so mobilized and have as much pa triotism as the boys in khaki. There fore, am asking you, as your patri- otic duty, to speak from your pulpit on Sunday, July 21, a. word to your congregation as to the absolute ne cessity of their putting in a full week at their jobs, and sticking to their jobs for the duration of the war"

American Wounded Help To Cultivate
 Hospital Gardens

Paris, July 16.-Acres and acres of gardens located near the American base hospitals are now beginning to bring forth their harvest of vegetables. All were cultivated by American wounded convalescents, who attended to the growing of the produce.
 Not alone has. the venture been one of great economy for the hospitals. The work of cultivation has been done upon the prescriptions of the medical surgeons so that double purpose is accomplished. The garden work pro- vides relaxation for the men after their strenuous times on the battle front and their painful anxiety in the hospital wards, The diversion acts as a recreative agency in bringing back the men to normal mental and physi- cal state.
 The gardens are worked entirely by convalescents. Not single dollar has been spent for hired labor. The ar my has undertaken a comprehensive plan of army provisioning along these lines. The American Red Cross al- so is cooperating by the establishment of smaller plots in the cef1ters where convalescents are sent.

Woman Tells How She Led on Rev. MT. Beussel,
 Alleged Traitor.

Hartford, July 16-How the Rev. Theodore Beussel, pastor of the German Lutheran church of Bristol, was Wined and dined by a woman de- tective of the American Protective League and how he entertained her at the meal with a eulogy of Ger many, was told before Judge Harlan B. Howe in the Federal Court here.
 Miss Leonore Murphy, the Protec- tive League detective, testified that jctted down everything Beussel had said and that she made affidavit to it in the morning. Also in the party was Mrs. Marie c. Kerr of Searsport. Me, who corroborated the testimony as to disloyal utterances The Rev. MT. Beussel was charged with using scurrilous and abusive language il references to the forces of the United States and of openly favoring Ger many.
 The women testified that on the trip here from Bristol MT. Beussel wanted to eat at a Chinese restaurant, but when Miss Murphy agreed to pay the bill he went to hotel and ordered champagne. He said, Mrs Kerr tes- tif1ed, that American soldiers could be bought for s5 apiece, whereas the German soldiers were true to death. He ended by criticising the appear ance of American officers. On the way home she said he asked her to take off a small American flag she wore.
 Miss Murphy said she went from Boston to Bristol to find out if Bues-, sel was disloyal. She said she re- ceived $3o and expenses from the League and that this was her first case. On May 27 she showed the minister a magazine article and ask ed him to discuss it. He refused. saying she might be a detective but he soon began to praise the Ger mans.
 Buessel, she testified, said he did not approve of the Red Cross and charged that men were getting com missions for collecting for it. While Germany had Hindenburg and gen. erals like him the Allies would never get anywhere Miss Murphy said Buessel went on.
 The clergyman entered plea of nct guilty and waived the reading ot the indictment of nine counts. Testi- flying in his own behalf he said he had nc aims, hopes, nor interests except those of the United States. He de-. nied recollecing the remarks attrib-' uteG to him.
 Mir. Reussel said he had drunk liquor on both occasions when MrG Kerr and Mi-- :.u-pny e-IcgeQ >x made disloyal remarks He was no: ordinarily a drinking man, he said. and was easily affected by intoxicants. He was still testifying when adjourn ment was taken.

WILSON ADMINISTRATION
 MASTERS WAR PROBLEMS

Even partisan critics admit that the Democratic Party is constructive and capable of mastering the great eco homie problems of a world war. Why7 Because they cannot escape these unprecedented achievements of a Democratic President and a Dem .ocratic Congress:
 The Federal Reserve Law, conceiv- ed and executed before Germany set the universe on fire, enabled America not only to face the greatest conflict bi all history without a 'tremor, but has placed the country upon a sound and stable basis; has emancipated in dustrial and commercial interests from domination by special interests; freed the nation from the danger of financial panics and made possible the wonderful existing prosperity.
 The Farm Loan Act, passed as an economic measure before the United States was a belligerent, has given to farmers at reasonable rates of inter- est the means for raising necessary crops needed to feed our Army and Navy and civilian population and the peoples of our Allies. The operation of the system has had the effect of realizing a reduction of at least one per cent. in the average rate of in terest on farm loans.
 Government Control of Railroads has eliminated obstructive competi- tion which previously hampered pri- vately operated carriers and has speeded up production of war essen l tials by expediting transportation. The public, the railroad employees and the stockholders all have derived bene- fits from this progressive step The l public gained through the eradica- tion of cut-throat methods; the em- ployees gained through increased wa ges and fair working hours, and the stockholder gained by a guaranteed return on his investment.

SIX CHILDREN DIE OF STARVATION

!, Amsterdam, July 1e.-The death of six children at the German Reform school in Tefenort, Saxe-Weimar, from what practically amounts to starvation, although it is politely call ed "under-nourishme in the official reports, has caused widespread. com ment in Germany.
 :. Assailed in the Grand Ducal parlia- ment for telerating such conditions, the government put forth the divert ing excuse that the children died from tuberculosis brought on by deficient mental conditions" This, says Vor- waertsa in a scathing editorial, is "a disease that is likely to prove more serious and more mysterious than the rinfluenza epidemic in Spain"
