'i.e press has been utilized by the Ger
man government with amazing skill in
various countries for the advancement OF
the Prussian scheme of world domination.
Ccrmany's spies throughout the world
have for many years resolved instructions
TO watch the foreign newspapers closely,
because they contained at times mos. valu-
able information from military and eco
nonic points of view. Tho German spies
and diplomatic representatives, took adj
vantage Of every journalistic indisccetion
and military secret that CHANGED to find its
way into the newspapers OF the countries
that Germany sought to suhiugate.
The German government subsidized
many newspapers and kept journalists on
its pay roll in order TO shape public opinion
IN various countries in favor OF German
kultur and German enterprises. The
newspapers and the journalists also were
used by the German espionage system fos
the purpose of securing needed informal
ton.
Germany knew long before the
war practically every military
secret of the Russian government.
Some Of these "secrets" were even
published in certain German
newspapers.

about the new works on the Ecval port
which had been kept in greatest secrecy.

They stated that from letters they mad
received from other prisoners Of war they
learned that MalinoT1ky was teaching
Bolshevism at the prison camp; that he
was delivering a course OF lectures on the
Bolshevist programme there. and that
many OF the soldiers had sent Lcntnc, as
head OF the Bolshevisi. enthusiastic re-
ports concerning Malinovsky's activities In
Germany
During the investigation II became clear
that this secret agent OF the RUSSIAN
autocracy and the German government
and most intimate frierd of Lenine was
the link between the extrencs OF German
militarisrn and Russian Bolshevisn.
In 1912 Bolshevist conference was held.

were their tools.
One of the most striking instances o!
close relations between the Russian secret
police department, the Bolsheviki and the
German government came to light when
Vladimir Bourtseff, the famous Russian
revolutionist, who unmasked Eugene Azef'
and numerous other traitors. revealed the
fact that a member of the Duma, an init.

high in the councils of the Bolshevisi
organization. was an agent provocateul

The name of the traitor is Roman Malin-

Even Hun Socialists, Admitted to England During War,
Sought to Wreck Industries and Bring Back Reports on
Conditions There Betraying Faith of Their Comrades

The German government has employed
many so-called radicals as spies, provoca-
tours or tools of the espionage system.
Such radicals" have been utilized to stir
up discomfort, to organize strikes, to
propagate pacifism in neutral lands. to
obtain information for Germany regard
ing the condition of the working people IN
allied countries and to shield Prussian
militarism under a mask of radicalism.
The German government used these
radicals" even though it despised and
feared them and had no confidence In
their loyalty. In 1895 the German Min
lister of War ordered the dismissal of all
socialists employed in the War Depart
ment. When August Bebel introduced an
Interpolation in the Reichstag concerning
this matter the Minister of War re-
piled -
among the people we have dismissed
there were a number of men who would
undoubtedly sell their fatherland at the
first opportune moment =.
But during this war the relations be-
tween the Kaisers government and the
Kaiser's socialists, with the exception of
the small minority group, have become
more than friendly. There is practically
nothing that the militaristic government
cannot influence the socialists to do tor It.

government, endeavoring to exert their l1-

At the trade union congress in

There were to be two representa-
tives from Canada, two from the
United States and two from Ger
many. But while there were two
representatives from Canada and
two from the United States,
fifteen came from Germany. The
German government, through the
German SOCIALISTS, knew every de-
tail in connection with the labor
movement in Great Britain. It
also was established that a series
of labor disorders in various parts
of the allied countries had been
instigated with the aid OF the
radical servants of the Kaiser.
The German General Staff. knowing tn
influence of the German social democrat
upon the socialists of the world, enliste
a number of socialists in the service G

of Lou Holmes, Tum-A-Lum man at

A. Reaney place just below that city
on Tuesday and taking critical
squint at the new barn Mr.. Reaney
has but recently completed. Mr.. Hol-
mes is naturally somewhat proud of
the building, as is also Mr.. Reaney,
for the barn was constructed from
plans furnished by the lumber COM
pany, after they had secured the
ideas of Mr.. Reaney. The barn is 40
x46, 16 feet to caves and capped with
a full trussed roof The entire struc-
ture rests upon solid concrete to
which the barn is securely bolted,
and nothing short of a regular mis-
souri, twister" will ever be able to
jar it loose. The stall room accom-
modates 16 head of horses and these
are arranged on either side Of spa
cious driveway, while on the lower
floor is a sleeping room, harness
room and granary, sufficient to hold
400 bushels of grain. The NOW over
head will care for so tons of hay. We
were struck with the substantial and
neat, sanitary structure of the build
ing and congratulate Mr.. Reaney on
the good judgment shown in putting
up such barn for the care of his
horses. He spent $3.50 as a total
cost and the construction work was
done under the supervision of Walter
Gerard, builder living near Lexiag-
ton. Mr.. Reaney has o'.ler improve
ments in contemplation and expects
tefore great while to put up com-
modious shed for the storing of farm
machinery.
