PLIGHT OF SWISS
FOR GRAIN ACUTE
Minister SuIzer Explains Stu
alton Resulting From Seizure
of Dutch Ships.

In order to correct certain miscon-
csptions Of the present system Of grain
shtpments to Switzerland, Mr.. Sulzer.
following statement:
The Port Cette has been placed at
the disposal of Switzerland by France
as a port Of entry for her overseas
grain supplies. Since the beginning OF
Its submarine activities Germany has
yeft free zone open to provide safe
and unmolested passage for Swiss
train steamers to that port on condi-
tion that shipments are made on neu-
trail ships. Until the unfortunate sink
ing Of the Spanish steamer Sardinero
there had been an uninterrupted series
Of I72 safe trips made to Cette since
the outbreak Of the war.
Misconstruction Of Orders.
Investigation has shown that the
nfnking of that vessel was due to an
inconceivable misconstruction of orders
on the part of the commander OF the
submarine. Since that accident several
Spanish ships have reached Cette with
out mishap.
saThe existing difficulties are attrib-
utable to the fact that at the present
time there are not enough neutral ships
available to carry necessary grains to
Switzerland, the urgent need of which
II becoming alarmingly acute. 1t is
we'll known that the proposed Ameri-
cAn-Dutch agreement provided the plac-
ting of q number Of Dutch ships at the
disposal of switzerland for this service.
mo discontinuance of negotiations
with Holland. which resulted in the
.~Aixurc OF the Dutch tonnage. has, how
ever, necessitated the transfer of those
ships to the American flag.
New Negotiations Drag.
This turn In the situation has made
at necessary for the Swiss government
to enter into negotiations with the Ger
man government with view to obtain
ing safe conduct for ships flying the
American flag. These negotiations have
lasted longer than anticipated and are
still pending. Prospects for satisfac-
tory settlement, however, are very
promising. In the meantime the United
States and allied governments have
considerably provided other ways for
caring for Switzerland's most urgent
needs. The resumption Of regular grain
shipments to Cette on a larger scale
can be expected in the near future,
however.
'.Ths rumor that Germany is threat
ening Switzerland with the sinking of
further grain shipments unless Switzer-
hnd consents to send part Of such grain
to Germany Is wholly unfounded."

Peters was a member of the San

Daily Reports to Vice Consul.

The activities of Peters, according to
the federal authorities, consisted of max
ing daily report to the German vice
consul on the progress of war activities
in the United States and furnishing the
German officials with information CONCERN
ing the departures, destinations and routes
of many vessels which have left San Fran
cisco recently. Included in the papers
seized by the federal officials were maps Of
the San Francisco and Seattle harbors,
which were said to have shown the posi-
ton and power of coast defenses at those
places.
Peters was in the water six hours
after the Leipsic was sunk. according
to his diary, and then was rescued.
Afterward he made his way to Mexico,
met the German vice consul at a Mexi-
can port and was furnished with money
for transportation into the United
States. Federal authorities were at a
loss to discover how Peters reached
Mexico. as after the naval battle it
was announced by the British admi-
ralty that all the survivors had been
captured.

MOTHERING OUR
BOYS "OVER THERE.

Mrs. Belmont Tiffany, now in
France with the American Red Cross.
has been working twelve and fourteen
hours a day in canteen service with
the men Of the American and French
forces.
War is such an ugly thing, such a
dirty, sordid thing" she said, "that
at least we should give our men
warmth and cleanliness and color
wherever we can. Picture to your
self fifty dirty, tired men falling out
of a cattle train where they have been
cooped up two or three days with a
detachment of mules, eating and sleep
ing with them. They have a couple of
hours to wait, so they take hot
shower at the R. G.. canteen with
plenty of soap and towels given to
them and then have good meal,
waited on by such cheerful, kindly
American girls, and after playing the
piano bit and writing letter home
they depart. Those people who have
given the money to do this work with
would be SO very grateful if they
could only see.
"In the canteen proper the girls in
their blue and white uniforms lool:
so nice and the food is so good. You
can't think what it means to the men
The first night we opened at D. we
had $50 men at one o'clock. They ate
us out of house and home though il
seemed a strange hour to eat They
carried off every magazine and paper
we had; they drank coffee and cocoa
and milk; they ate bread, butter ant
jam and cakes and chocolate; their Of
fcers were fed, too and finally the
major came and shook my hand over
and over again and said they were al
happier and less homesick than any
time since they'd left America.

Inspiring Patriotic
Service At First
Baptist Church

The theme of the Sunday school
lesson, Training the Young Ill
Church Activities" was beautifully
exemplified in the closing exercises
by the Primary Department, under the
splendid leadership of Mrs. =. ~
Goods. About one hundred little tots,
occupying the large rostrum, sang
many little songs, recited the Ten
Commandments, Twenty-third Psalm,
the Lords Prayer and many verses
from Gods blessed word. The presen-
tations of their birthday Offering and
the song following showed the great
interest these little flowers in the
Masters garden take In the activities
of their department. Supt. Halder-
man expressed his great appreciation
and pleasure of the interesting little
program. The flag of our country
and the Christian flag, the large honor
roll with SO names of our noble young
men inscribed thereon, the service
flag of the Barraca Glass, with its
many stars, were the very appropriate
settings for the patriotic services III
honor of the men of our church who
are at the front.

pairing the many fine programs Of
our Sunday school, was in charge of
this one. Onward Christian Soldiers, :

spoke of the call of our men to arms
April g. 1917, and as the bugle call

they were mingled with the cheers of
the large assembly. One of "our boys
Roy AmidOn, gave a description of a
day in camp with the various bugle
calls. These calls really presented
pictures. One could see the sleepy
boys aroused at 5:15 as they awoke
at the bugle call; then reveille, and
