DENTISTS TO PERFECT
TEETH OF RECRUITS

Mobilization of the dentists ofAmer-
lea will make possible dentally perfect
men for the present draft. according
TO the Preparedness League of Amer
lean Dentists.
American dentists are serving on
every medical advisory board and To-
cal draft board in the country, ac-
cording TO the league. There are

COLLECTING
 THE DAMAGE
or general

There is 8 general agreement that Germany at least must be made to pay for the physical damage she has done, for the wrecked dwellings and business buildings, the footed fac tories and the forced loans exacted from conquered cities. But the ques- tion how that vast amount shall be collected is not an easy one to handle.
 It was recently stated that the damage done to the property of Bel gium alone had been estimated at $S,0OO, 900, ,O00. But as the wealth of Belgium before the war was estimat- ed at only 5000, 900, the former figure was probably exaggerated. It would seem however, as if the physi- cal damage done by Germany would be more than $1O,O00, 900, every dollar of which she should pay.
 Germany's stock of gold and silver coin before the war was not probably In excess of S1,5OO, 900. Her pa per money would not be accepted in payment of an indemnity. The prom ise of the German government to pay is not worth much. Neither would German bonds be satisfactory form of payment The world has no con- fidence in the good faith of any gov ernment that Germany may create.
 A considerable sum might be ob- tained by requiring the German peo- ple to bring in all their gold and sil- yer ornaments. But that would come nowhere near paying the indemnity.
 Some authorities suggest that our armies take over the German custom houses. and collect pay through them. But as the Germans will not be able to buy much foreign mer- chandise for years, the revenue of these custom houses may not amount to much.
 It would seem likely that this in- demnity would have to be collected largely through the labor of the Ger mans themselves. Let them work out their debt by rebuilding the cities they have levelled to the ground That will force it into their bony heads that they can not do acts of wanton destruction without having 1 to pay for them in their own sweat 1 and tears.

GERMAN AGENTS DESTROY SHIPS
 IN ARGENTINE

Buenos Aires, Nov. 1S-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- Continued bomb outrages, fires and collisions for the destruction of AL lied shipping in Buenos Aires have resulted in a movement being set on foot here to have the Allied govern ments refrain from sending ships to the port of Buenos Aires until steps are taken to prevent this. destruction by German-paid agents, according to we'll informed men in Allied shipping circles of this city.
 Orders sent to German agents to organize explosions on board ships which were sailing to enemy lands, and to provoke delays and confusion in the loading, sailing and unloading of these ships, have been carried out efficiently in Buenos Aires The con- fusion and delay is attributed by AL lied shipping men to the Federation of Marine Laborers. The power be- hind the recent bomb explosions and fires on board Allied ships either while In Buenos Aires or just after departing has not yet been identi- fled.
 Shipping men have almost despair ed of combating the Federation of Marine Laborers. The federation practically controls maritime com merce in Buenos Aires It is assert ed that it dictates to employers who shall load, unload, scale, paint, dry lock and attend to the hundred and one necessities of a ship. in port sending Germans, Austrians CT Turks on board Allied vessels in the pert o1 Buenos Aires. The employers are powerless to refuse to allow a doubt full person aboard the ships for fear of an instant and general strike, as has occurred on more than one occa- sion in which employers attempted to keep suspicious characters away from Allies vessels.
 Allied shipping men believe the power of this federation could be broken by boycott which would pre- vent Allied vessels from touching al the port of Buenos Aires, as it is be lieved the Argentine governmen would realize then the necessity ot dealing firmly with this organiza- ton.

The Lokal Anzieger of BerI1a p--vs he is likely to be permitted to return.
 Prince Eitel Fritz, son of the former emperor. has appealed to his com rades of the Potsdam garrison to place themselves at the disposal of the new government in Germany.
 Maarne, Holland, Saturday, Nov. 1e Count Charles Von Bentinek, son of Count Goddard, in an interview today declared his father was unaware of the intended coming of the German emperor until last Sunday when the Dutch government telephoned asking him if he would receive the exile. The count acceded as a duty to the Dutch government.
 The former emperor's host seems somewhat embarrassed over the deli cate charge given him as his family has considerable English connexions. Count Charles said he asked the for mer emperor: Well, how long will you remain? %
 That depends upon the Dutch government" was the reply.
 There are no indications that the former Crown Prince intends to join his father.

13 TONS OF FOOD TAKEN TO TROOPS
 BY AEROPLANE
Detachment of Belgian Ar my Gut Off From Base
 Is Sustained.

Dunkirk, France, Nov. 18.---Corres- pondence of the Associated Press)- Thirteen tons or food was carried by the British Royal Air Force and the Belgian Air Forces to several divisions of the Belgian army which had ad- vanced beyond the Houthulst forest in Belgium, early in the Allied offensive in the Belgian sector, and sustained those troops during the period in which they were cut off from supplies owing to impossible roads. This is believed to be the largest scale in which supplies were ever delivered to troops by airplane.
 Continuous rain, shell fire and ar tillery fire had ground the roads out of existence. They were transformed into channels of deep mud. By even ing the general in command of the Belgian forces reported that supplies of food had been exhausted. Would 1t be possible, he inquired, to send food up bX airplane?
 The answer was that it would and the task was assigned to the Belgian Air Forces and to the Fifth group of LI1S bE1llSn -IGOydI All T Oi iSO' AASAA job was to deposit army rations at point to which nothing but bird or an airplane could penetrate:
 It has been done before, of course; the garrison of Kut received supplies by air, and ammunition and the likS have been dropped at various places. But it had never been attempted on such a scale.
 The cases of rations were broken up into appropriate parcels and these were packed in sacks of earth to cushion them for the fall; while upon the front the hungry di- visions prepared the dumping grounds and marked them with large white crosses.
 Some 80 machines shared the work between them, including a squadron of the Fifth groups two-seaters. They lifted their loads easily, and one by one they dipped to the front-it was the front, too, and close to the line and dropped them overheard to the cheering reception committees below and returned Only one machine, at- lacked by a German machine gun from the ground-it was as close to the front as that---had to land, and by II a. Iii. the general reported that all his units had been supplied.

HUN PROPAGANDA TO GET LEN|ENCY
 IS BEING PUSHED
Government Agents See Evidence That Machinery
 is Being Revived Here.

Washington. Nov. 1S-Government agents see evidences that German propaganda machinery in the United States is being put in working order again to promote sentiment of le- niency toward Germany in peace terms. Consequently department of justice officials today warned that the public should remain watchful against resumption of organized propaganda by interests formerly actively pro- German and for the past year pass i've.
 Concerted movement is apparent, officials say, in utterances of many individuals, few organizations former ly active for German interests and some newspapers. There is no or ganized leadership, it is believed, but local interests have taken their cue from official pleas from Germany for leniency in armistice and final peace terms.
 Illustrating the attitude that the war and it's dangers are not yet over, it is stated that department of justice agencies have ordered the internment of some Germans since the armistice was signed a week ago.
 Official reports show German rep resentatives in various parts of the world are still actively engaged in spreading propaganda to create and enhance feeling of hostility toward the United States and the Allied coun- tries. Eckhardt, the notQrious Ger man Ambassador at Mexico City, again is reported doing his utmost to make Mexico hostile to the United States and Is able to have misleading articles published in the semi-of1cial Mexican papers. Recently he pub lished that the German army has not been defeated and that the German navy was still fighting the Allied na- vies.
