LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 22.-In-
vestigations are under way to deter
mine the source of rumors rife in
many parts of the state to the effect
that poisonous pollen has been, or
will be, placed in small grain seed
supplies by German plotters. The
botanists at the Purdue Agricultural
Experiment station do not take much
stock in the rumors, yet they say that
smut or other disease germs might be
mixed in seed stocks with disastrous
effects. Several serious plat diseases
exist in Germany which are not found
in this country, the botanists say,
and it would be possible to introduce
them in the way rumOr says.
While the investigations are pro-
ceeding warning has been issued that
the diseases could not be detected on
the seed by an ordinary examination
and the only way to guard against the
chance of infection is to treat the
seed as it is treated for smut proven

French officer Said to
Haze Started "Camouflage'

PARIS, Feb. 22.-"Camouflage." or
the art Of making a soldier look like
a tree, a battery OF artillery look like
a clump Of bushes, an army headquar-
ters like peaceable farm, and vii
lase like few acres of pasture land
is now said to have been originated
by Commandant Kopenhague of the
French army. Experiments were
made In October 1912, at the Camp of
Avord. the object then in view being
TO render a troop OF infantry invisible
to observehs in airplanes.
The success then achieved did not
establish the institution because the
means employed were so cumbersome
and expensive in execution. 1t was
only after the first few months Of the
war that the painters services were
called into play and canvas and paint
as we'll as underbrush became useful

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Feb. 22.-Tre-
mendous strides in agriculture and

finds this organization at the highest
point Of efficiency. and setting the
pace for the entire country in this
branch Of endeavor.
Following the plans of the U. S. De-
partment OF Agriculture, and with the
aid of appropriations by Congress.
the Extension Department placed an
agricultural agent in twenty-five ceun-
ties of the state during the past year.
When war was declared, the govern.
ment asked that an agent be placed in
every county by March 1. 1918, so as
to introduce better farming methods
where they did not exist and thus in
crease food production. Sixty Indiana
counties have accepted agents and
seven more counties have application
on file for them. Special Emergency

ment pay roll have been placed in ev.

In addition, twelve women demon
stration agents to carry home to rural

$4,000 Breweries are
in German Empire

AMSTERDAM. Feb. %. - The Ger
man government has issued an Off
cial decree providing for the "consoli-
dation" of the brewing industry.
Breweries, selected on the principle
Of highest efficiency, are to take over
the production of others that are to
be shut down, and are to pay the lat.
ter monetary compensation.
The breweries naturally complain
OF this measure, calling attention to
the fact that more than three billion
marks OF German capital is invested
in this industry. which thus outranks
even the chemical industry, iron
smelling or coal mining. The num-
Der OF breweries in Germany is more
than 10000. closely connected with
which are 100000 hotels and restaur-
ants, which employ 100000 persons.

We, the members of the House Of
Representatives of the Sixty-third
General Assembly, therefore re-
specially and most earnestly urge
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress to further, both by voice

Of the navy of the United States, for
the navy of this day and age is the
strength, the power and protection
of this mighty republic. The destiny
of our republic depends in all future
ages to come upon our navy, to the
end that this arm of the nation may

NJ. w. Veneer is for big Navy and

His policy which he advocated in
1908 has been clearly indicated by
our people and Government at this
very hour, that we were in need of a
mighty Navy for this Worlds War.
Our Army can be increased to an
efficiency in a very short time, but
the Navy takes long time.

Resolved, That we, members of the
House of Representatives of the Six
ty-third General Assembly of the
State Of Indiana, heartily commend
and emphatically indorse the pa
triotic and American attitude Of the
administration of President Roose-
welt, and with reference to the Mon
roe Doctrine we commend the digni-
fled stand Of our government in it's
treatment of the threatening Vene-
zuelan complications, now, we trust,
approaching a peaceful consumma-
ton.
The American people as a whole
stand committed to the enforcement
and maintenance of the pronounce
ment originally promulgated by Pres
ident Monroe, and the Endorsement of
this doctrine is not confined to any
political party, nor hemmed in by
state or sectional lines. But we view
with even increasing anxiety the pos
sibilities of the future.
The European nations are con-
stantly engaged in the absorption of
every foot of so-called available soil.
Africa has been taken, and the only
really Independent nation OF the great
continents of Asia, China, is in pro-
cess Of dismemberment.
This fact, together with the over
populous congested state of Europe,
and the vast expanse of as yet COM
paratively unoccupied and extremely
fertile lands in South America, con-
stitute an almost irresistible induce
rnent to European aggression.
The American people are determ-
ined that the western hemisphere
shall be reserved for the exploitation
of republican institutions and forms
of government.
