SYSTEMATIC EFFORT OF
GERMANS TO Do MISCHIEF
Circulate Report That Active Divi-

Aim to Check Mems Ardor,

Correspondence of The Sunday Star
and Chicago Daily News.


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRENCH FRONT. May ia
most insidious form of German propa-
ganda, calculated to dampen the fight
ing ardor of the American men and
officers, has been discovered. A ru-
NOR has been widely circulated that
one of the most active divisions hero
would probably soon be sent back to
America. The story has been sent out
systematically to the men in the di-
vision. the substance of the tale being
that they would be shipped back in
June for the purpose of training
other divisions preparatory to Huro-
pean service.
Obviously the purpose of the rumor
was to slow up the aggressiveness of
the men and make them otherwise
less efficient. While the officers ex-
planned that such a procedure was
manifestly impracticable, the report
was SO well worked out and persistent
that 1t reached all ranks Some of
the men received letters from America
from relatives saying that they had
heard their division wascoming home.
The circulators of the bogus news
had even caused 1t to be printed in
certain military publications
That 1t was all part of a systematic
effort to do mischief is proved by the
fact that the reports all agreed on
the same date. That date is now i'm
practicable, and the men now realize
that they have been purposely d.

CANNES NOW PROBLEM
WITH BRITISH OFFICIALS
No More Dog Biscuits to Be Made,
Flour Needed for Textile Trade.
Plan Check on Breeding.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
LONDON, May 10.-The government
is wrestling with the problem of what
to do with dogs in view of the rapidly
diminishing stocks of food. 1t seems
a foregone conclusion that the num-
Der of dogs is to be reduced. There
are hardly any dog biscuits left. and
no more will be manufactured, as the
low-grade -four from which they are
made is wanted for the textile trades
Bonar Law, chancellor of the ex-
chequer. refused to include a heavy
tax on dogs in his budget which he
introduced in the last week of April.
His friends said that'such a tax would
kill dog breeding as an industry, and
would work unequally between rich
and poor. The poor mans dog would
be sacrificed while the pampered Pc
kingese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal Is to
prohibit the breeding of dogs during
the war except under license. The ef-
feet of this would be to allow the per-
petuation Of pedigree breeds which
have taken many years and large
sums of money to produce. and also
useful dogs like sheep dogs and army
dogs. The breeding of mongrels and
probably of purely fancy dogs would
be prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have a dog. They
will in the future need all their Ing
genuity to keep their pets fed.

IN ENGLAND ARE
NOW RA1|0NED FOR TEA
Supply Scheme Has Been So Sue
cessful That London "Queues"
Have Faded Away.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 5.-Seventeen million
people in England are now rationed
for tea, and steps are being taken by
the food controller to make the ra-
tioning of stea uniform throughout
the country.
The rationing scheme has been SO
successful that it has caused the Lon
don queues to fade away as IL by
magic. The only ones that remain are
the amusement queues. and a few lard
and one or two cats meat queues.
Until a few weeks ago there were
tea queues every day in front of a big
that store reduced its business hours
to a minimum. Now there is no queue
and the store is open all day. The ex-
PLANTATION of the manager is that the
tea was not distributed to the small
stores. whose customers then came to
the big stores and formed queues.
The margarine shops. whose queues
used to reach round the block, are
now queueless and have big displays
in their windows. The meat markets
seem full of food, and every one seems
satisfied.
Commenting on the transformation
made by rationing in the appearance
of the city, one paper suggests: 1T
would be good if those organs of pub
licity which made a big business of
queue photos that were afterward
reproduced in German papers and
made good German propaganda would
now pub,ich photos of the queueless
cities andthe stocked shops"

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
May 13.-An elite shock battalion.
composed of coal-black Senegalese
six-footers, recruited from the Afri-
can jungles. together with other vol
unteer fighters from the French CO.
lonials, made brilliant coup de
main in the Lorraine sector. The
raid as usual was preceded by a short
but intense bombardment by artil
lery of all calibers. The Germans sus-
pected that a raid was imminent and
started counter bombardment. but
the marvellous French naturalization
less than ten seconds.
At o'clock sharp. the Senegalese
charged through a dense fog. pene-
trating the enemy's lines to a depth
of 500 meters (about 1900 feet) along
a front of considerable width. The
Germans were panic-stricken by the
sudden appearance of the bowling ne
groes and attempted to fall back, but
were caught by the French curtain
fire.
Encouraged and cheered on by their
officers, the Senegalese proved them
selves excellent soldiers. With rare
daring. they blew up and burned
German shelters, wiping out the gar
risons that refused to surrender.
Kills Three Single-Handed.
An old Senegalese sergeant, Bam-
bara, a veteran of the Gallipoli cam
paign, killed three Germans single
handed. A short distance farther
Sergt. Chaour. Corp. Roche and Pri-
vate Tasal arrived at boyau. or
communication trench, which they
found deserted. I'VE must have
some Germans" declared the sergeant.
Advancing resolutely. the three men
passed through the French curtain
fire and arrived at German shelter.
where they caught two Germans. One
of them revealed the hiding place of
four comrades. who also were cap
tured. Still advancing, the three CO.
lonials discovered a machine gun
battery firing upon the French. They
put it out of action with grenades,
making the crew surrender. Then
they returned safely to the French
lines, leading ten prisoners.
The entire operation was led with
remarkable skill and daring and re-
suited in the capture of twenty pris-
oners, the death or wounding of many
more Germans. while several machine
guns. trench cannon, much ammuni-
tion and material also were taken.

WS FROM ACROSS THE SEAS FOR SUNDAY STAR READER
GERMANS TRY NEW TRICK
TO DECEIVE ALLIED FLIERS
Correspondence of The Sunday Star
and Chicago Daily News.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRENCH FRONT, May 14.-Ger-
man aviators, desperate on account of
thei: appalling losses, are using O. new
trick for the purpose of deceiviig the
allied fliers. However. it was discovered
before it accomplished fatal results. In
stead of the large black cross, which.
since the beginning of the war, has been
painted ON the top and bottom of the
wings and sides of the fuselage as the
insignia of the German machine, they
are using marking which on casual in
spection would be mistaken for the
French or British insignia. The French
machines are known by the red. white
and blue concentric circles on the wings.
The Germans are now using red, black
and white circles with "a small cross on
the inner white circle.
Another trick is to paint a white
square on the wings with diminutive
cross in the center. The small markings
were not noticed by casual glance at
rapidly moving machines until the tricks
were discovered. At the same time the
German anti-aircraft defense guns and
watchers are equipped with powerful
telescopes. and knowing the trick mark
mgs they can avoid making the mistake
of firing at their own planes.

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. May 10
Russia will again be center of re-

chiller, the French economist, who
has arrived here from Petrograd,
where he had been for the past six
months studying revolutionary condi-
tions.
"Czarism's Russia" he said today.
was anti-democratic and lacked SYM
pathy with humanity. Friends of lib
erty everywhere hoped that the revo-
luton would bring to the Russian
people democratic education and i'm
bue them with respect for private and
individual rights. On Lenine falls the
responsibility for causing Russia to
swing back to anti-democratic views
and methods. Bolshevikism proved to
be return to czarism. However.
there is no reason for regarding boil
sia for good. The position only was
this. that the victory had to go to the
most unscrupulous and demagogic.
The Russian bourgeoisie showed it
self cowardly and unequal to deal
with the situation.
Bolsheviki Not Real Socialists.
What will happen now I cannot
predict but time goes quickly in Rus
sia. The decisive factor is that Ger
many has armies in the Baltic prov
inces, the Ukraine and Finland. II
one can speak Of any center for oppo-
sition in Russia that center lies in
Siberia. II the bolsheviki had been
real socialists they would have made
a bold gesture and refused to sign the
Brest- -Litovsk peace treaty. which
Leon Trotsky himself called treason.
After having promised the Rus

just and durable peace. they brought
about an annexationist, anti-demo-
just peace will come. 1t will come in
spite of the bolsheviki. 1t depends
upon the entente's unbroken moral
and victorious power"
NJ Heschiller said bolshevism was
"a caricature of socialism" and con-
tinued:
III Karl Marx advised expropriat-
ing the expropriators. Lenine in
terpreted it as meaning to rob those
who robbed. Society met complete
dissolution under bolshevism. Boil
shevism stands in direct opposition
to every principle of order and even
to socialism and labor movements.
The organization now exists only on
paper. Russian labor has turned away
from the bolsheviki. 1t Is now COM
despair of everything-or minimalists
and the more moderate and thought
full elements. The bolshevikfs only
adherents among the peasants are those
who support Lenine's slogan, Rob from
those who have robbed thereby render
ing real agrarian reform in Russia i'm
possible.
I'm this general social revolution
ary war of all against all, victory
goes to the strongest. A new peasant
bourgeoisie tends to appear and it
will soon demand tranquility in Or
der to come into undisputed possess
sion of the gains made during the
war. Lenine will be trapped between
two alternatives. He will either fall
or become a new peasant bourgeois
policeman. This much is certain,
never before has the longing for pri-
vate property been SO strong in Rus
sia as it Is now"
