LEVINE AND TROTZKY
PAID AGENTS OF HUNS
Documents Secured by U. S. Govern
ment Reveal Treachery and Plot
to War on America.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Proofs re-
moving any doubts that Nicolai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky, the bolshevik lead
ers are paid German agents-if indeed
any doubts have remained-are laid
before the world by the United States
government in the first installment OF
an amazing series of official documents
disclosed through the committee on
public information.
Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sis
son, representing the committee (who
was in that country during last win
ter, 1917-1S) these documents not only
show how the German government
through its Imperial bank paid its gold
to Lenine, Trotzky, and their imme-
date associates to betray Russia into
deserving her allies, but give added
proofs that Germany had perfected her
plans for a war of world conquest long
before the assassinatiOns at Sarajevo,
which conveniently furnished her pre-
text.
These documents further show that
before the world was was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into it
Tin 1910 Germany already was set
ting afoot her plans to mobilize de-
structive agents and observers" to
cause explosions, strikes, and outrages
in this country, and planned the en-
ployment of anarchists and escaped
criminals" for the purpose.
Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, Trotzky, and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bOlshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of MUIR
der and excesses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by
the German general staff.
They show how the paid agents of
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-
Litovsk "peace" conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace; how they have directed the
bolshevik foreign, domestic and eco
nomic policy wholly in the interest of
Germany, and to the shame and deg
radiation of Russia.

100000 IN FRANCE SOON
Estimate Based Upon Plans for Hav-

100000 Men in Training
by Summer.

asked by the war department to pro-
vide S7.347 100000 in addition to pre-
vious estimates for carrying out the
enlarged military program for the COM
ing year.
The new estimate is based upon
plans for having nearly 4,OOOOOO Amer
lean soldiers in France next summer
and another million in training AT
home. 1t brings the money sought TOR
the army in the fiscal year up to more
than $24,000,00O,0 including the reg
ular appropriation bill of some Slz,-
000,00000O and Notifications Dill
carrying more than $4,000 100000.
Ordnance estimates of $3,5S5, S74 sou
are the largest items in the bill now
proposed. They include fortlhca-
tions, field artillery, small arms, motor
cars and ammunition.
Years Expense $50, 900, 100000.

during the year are expected to be be-
tween S35, O0O, 100000 and $36,000,OOO,-

reaches the senate. Consumption
taxes, according to congressional lead
ers, seem the most likely to be insert
ed for raising additional revenue.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.


Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history OF the world-99, 100000
pounds of bacon and 134,0OO,OOO pounds
Of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
U. s. A., for the American Army over
seas.
Louis f. Swift, In commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1,9OO,-
600 hogs, ard If other work were
dropped to produce 1t, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $S0,O00,OO0 for
the necessary hogs and over $50,000,000
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as in the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth Of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad.
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs"

All the long procession of maids,
from kindergarten tot to college girl,
will be flttlngly clad this fall In sim
pie and substantial clothes. Whether
It is because Of the war or for other
reasons, the new frocks for children
are unusually plain and they are the
forerunners of fall styles. 1t Is I'M
likely that anything very different will
fellow them for they nre tastefully de-
signed. School outfits may be got I'M
derway now with success assured since
all straws that show which way the
winds Of fashion blow, point toward
simplicity of design as a dominant fea-
ture Of coming styles.
Furthermore, it is the part OF pa
triotism to make over and use again
ali WOODEN clothes. Dresses that can
not be remodeled for grown people will
serve In place of new goods for MAX
ing children's frocks and this con-
ServatiOn of wooden materials is some
thing to be proud Of. At the right of

which has every requirement of a sue

Women who sew well find needle

midsummer. 1t is a good time in
which to make up undermuslins and

used these days for underclothes with
hand sewing and fancy stitches. These

used better than machine work.
Only lightweight and sheer weaves
Of cotton and silk concern the maker
of underwear In these times. The
choice lies among soft, washable silks
and satins, including much crepe de
chine and other wash silks, and
batiste, cotton crepe and nainsook. In
silks, crepe de chine is the favorite and
In cottons, batiste. Both these are
liked in light pink and flesh color as
well as they are in white, and 1t is
likely that the number of garments
made in pink exceeds that made in
white The favorite finish for crepe
de chine is Val or cluny lace, FrPch

little embroidery. Recently consider
