administration for patrons of hotels,

The effectiveness of this plan was
emphasized by Ben Fl. Harmon, hotel

complaint.
Operators of more than 600 Ameri-

the wheat and meat-saving menus pro-
posed by the food administration for

SECRETARY BIRDS.

Come, come" said the secretary
ORD whose name was Jim. and the
one named Joe. answered,
Il am coming"
NOW the reason the secretary birds
are given such a strange family name
is because their long cockades of feath-
ers which drop back from either side
OF their heads and which are black, are
supposed to be like quill pens. In
oiden times and sometimes nowadays,
gun pens are used for writing letters.
They are supposed to look like a clerk
or secretary who uses these pens In
writing. And so these birds. having
similar quilts, have been named the
secretary birds.
Are you ready?" asked Jim.
Again Joe answered, Eyes, told you
was coming"
Don't be cross" said Jim. eff you
are / won't show you the place had
in mind for our hunting trip today.

l am kind and generous"
kind and generous" laughed Joe,
and his voice was a very harsh one. 81
don't believe the snakes and frogs and
birds think you are kind and gener-
ous."
They don't think you are kind Ell
Their" said Jim, 80 there is no reason
for you to say such thing to me-"
The secretary birds are rather harsh
and cruel in any case, and they have
many of the same qualities of char
acter which the hawks have.
They always swallow their food
whole, without chewing it in the least.
And yet they never have indigestion !!

U. S. MEN TO FLANDERS
AMERICANS MAY CONTINUE
TRAINING WITH BRITISH.
Yankees Would Be Passed Throuoh
Training System From Receiving
Camps to Finishing Courses.

Washington, Feb. 6. - American
troops may appear in British trenches
on the Flanders front as a result of
studies now being made both here and
in Europe.
Ii the prospect suggested is carried
out, American units would be passed
through the British training system
from receiving camps to finishing
courses in front-line trenches, drawing
supphes and equipment from British
sources until graduate battalions were
Withdrawn for Incorporation in General
Pershing's army.
The suggestion came from British
officials through General Pershing If
is sui under consideration at the war
department, but final action probably
rests on recommendations of General
Bliss, who is considering it also in
conference with the supreme war coun-
Gil.
Ihe plan is a development of the
proposal made at the time of the first
meeting of the war council that Amer
lean troops might be sent to England
for training, releasing British forces
there for front-line duty. The object
sought is to hasten the expansion of
the American army in France. By the
use of British shipping, training camps
and supply lines, it has been urged
that General Pershing's force could be
supplemented without proportionate
increase in the demand on shipping.
Details of the plan are not available
for publication. 1t is known however,
to have encountered numerous prac-
teal objections here, which also oc-
CURED to General Pershing in forward
ing the suggestion. In its original form
the plan contemplated the training of
100 infantry battaions of 1000 men
each through British facilities.

\ GERMAN SPIES
ARE FOUND GUILTY
RinteIen and Aids Convicted of
Plot to Sink Ships.
CAUSED 100000 DAMAGE
kaiser's Agents Sentenced to Eighteen
Months In the Penitentiary and
Fined $4,000 - Had
100000 Fund.

New York, Feb. 6.-Franz Rintelen
German agent, and ten co-edefendants,
all Germans, were found guilty by a
federal jury of conspiring to destroy
munition and food ships of the entente
allies.
Each man convicted was sentenced
TO IS months in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga, and to pay a fine of ST.
000 This is the maximum penalty.
The defendants were characterized
as "murderers at heart" by United
States Assistant District Attorney
James w. Osborne, Jr.. in summing up
for the government. He asked for a
cutiOn had proved its case.
These men were willing to strike a
neutral in the back in order to prove
loyalty to the fatherland."
Plan Dastardly Crime.
Mr.. Osborne added: Let us assume
that the German government knew
nothing about the plot, but the fact re-
mains that these cOnspiratOrs planned
this dastardly crime"
The attorney attacked the defense
of some of the accused that they
thought they were making bombs for
legitimate purpose and asserted
that Rintelen had opened a bank ac-
count for $50S,000 in an international
bank. indicating existence of a fund
for the alleged conspiracy.
Caused 100000 Loss.
United States Judge Howe, in his
charge to the jury, alluded to the
point brought up by the defense dur
ing the trial that the Kirk Oswald
was not within the waters of this fed
eral district at the time the bombs were
placed on board. If the jury found
this point to be well taken. he said,
the verdict should be one of mot guilty
for want of jurisdiction.
The alleged conspiracy involved also
the shipment Of bombs to the Pacific
coast to be placed on vessels sailing
for the Orient. In all SO ships valued
at more than $4OOO,0O0 were said to
have been damaged.
Had 100000 Fund.
Rinteen'S exploits as an agent of the
German government in this country
We're of the spectacular sort in which
cash figured in the most conspicuous
fashion. Evidence in his trial of near
~ a year ago which resulted in his
conviction on May 81 and sentence TO
the Atlanta prison for one year, shows
that in May of 1915 he deposited more
than half million dollars in a bank
in New York. From that date on he
was the chief figure in many plots, the
chief purposes of which were to dis
rupt the munitions industries by means
of labor disturbances and otherwise.
He did not get very far on the strike
propositions, however. because of the
indignant refusal of Samuel GOmpers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, to have anything to do with
what evidently was a prO-German con-
Spiracy. Other labor leaders with
drew from Rintelen'S enterprise as
soon as they perceived its real nature
Rintelen's chief plan was to put his
agents 70 work In the various con-
ventions of labor unions, farmers and
pacifists.

eration.
 The executive council of the Ameri-
 can Federation of Labor which has been meeting here, decided today to discontinue meeting until after the l conference is over and then adjourn to San Antonio, where the rest of their sessions will be held. Secretary Wilson left tonight for Washington. He addressed the dele gates seconr time just before leav- ing. He said that because the history of industrial development has shown that large employers always had attempted to dominate the lives of their employees, it had been necessary for workmen to organize.
 with workmen acting as unit, the laborer still is not on an equality with the employer" he said. "The employer has capital, the unconsumed product of previous labor with which to combat the workmen. The only way for the workmen to place them selves on an equality, is to form un- ions and pay large dues into the unions piling up for themselves an unconsumed product of their labor to enable them to meet with employers on an equal basis,
 "The cheap organization gets cheap results. The only way to get big re- suits is by sacrifice and the accumula- tion of the financial necessities to make the cause successful"
 President Gompers paid a tribute to Secretary Wilson, saying "Too many men who have risen to high offices have forgotten their beginnings and have not played the game through. Seketary Wilson wo joined the min CTS union 45 years ago is not one of these. He speaks the vocabulary of laborer. He has not risen from the ranks of union labor. He is still with labor."
 The chief direct purpose of the con ference is to consider plans for Pan American congress to be held in the near future and to devise some way for the immediate organization of the Mexican workmen in this country, of whom there are said to be more than million, many of them working in the crafts requiring much skill and training.
 The general purpose of the confer ence is the promotion in every way of the relations of. .the ', United States and the American republics.
