Hoppooh was on his way homo when
he noticed a bundle under the steps. He
picked It up and took It to LIoboken
police headquarters. Inside n wrapping
OF newspapers were eight round balls
about nine inches in circumference. They
were wound with cord and there was a
short cord loop on each. William Vetter,
captain OF detectives, dumped them into
a tub Of water. Investigation disclosed a
slip OF paper in the bundle on which was
written In German:
'Cannon report. To b hung against

What appeared to be a short fuse was

Mitchell, chairman of the Federal Food
Board and Arthur Williams. Federal
Food Administrator for this city, met
yesterday with representatives of big
distributing concerns. They will meet
again in a day or two.
The big dealers have not accepted the
producers demands for an increase OF
one and one-half cents n quart for milk
during October. However. many of the
smaller dealers in this city are signing
up at the headquarters OF the league,
40 West Fortieth street, and reports
are being received from various cities,
notably Buffalo. that milk dealers are
accepting the Dairymens League terms.
An officer of the league said last night
that the October prices are based on the
cost of production and producers do not
see how there can be any readjustment
looking To a decrease In prices at tbs
late date that would be fair to the
farmers.
All signs indicate that tho dairymen

sequent eternal establishment every

performance of the plainest duty OF the
citizenry at home.
Tho Fourth Liberty Loan Is our next
objective.
There is no geography, political or
physical. in the patriotism Of this coun-
try. We continually insist for all par
ties that the war be kept out OF par
tisan politics and that craftsmanship be
kept out of the war.
Just as in Congress tho Republicans
led the fight that made possible the pas
sage Of the great war measures, 30 now
the party membership and organization
has an immediate, definite war task in
the accomplishment Of which 1t can fully
function.
THE success OF tho Fourth Liberty

supreme motif OF thought and action un.
til that objective is attained.
Wherever Republicans are together
by two or two thousand, II shall be g

has been and shall be determined solel!
by how We can contribute most to The
