WAR PLOT
 LAID BARE
Conspiracy to Bring War Between |. <. and Mexico to Prevent Ship
 ment of Arms to Europe

San Francisco, Jan. l7.-Startling disclosures of alleged attempts to em- broil the United States and Mexico in open warfare in order to prevent ex- portation from this country of arms and ammunitions to the allied powers, and of a plan to "plant" bomb in Hindu temple at Stockton in order to sway public opinion against the Brit jsh government and toward Germany, defendants charged with violation of neutrality came today at the trial here of thirty-one persons charged with fo- menting revolution against British rule in India.
 The revelation came in the testi- mony of George w. Har.z, who said he was an operative in the Hureau of investigation of the department of justice here Hartz testified that he had gained the confidence of several of the defendants in 1915 and had been told of various plans by which the Char" (revolution) party hoped to further it's object of weakening the British military forces. Hartz had been asked to participate in executing some of these plans. he said.
 Society Backed Magazine
 A connection between this party and society which formerly pub lished the New American Independ- ent here was established for the first time by Hartz This magazine was dedicated to the cause of winning the war for Germany and was formerly edited by David O'Connell. who was conyicted and sentenced to seven years Imprisonment for violating the espionage act and for conspiring to hamper the operation of the selective draft law. Hartz said.
 Hartz testified that he had met Hari Singh, one of the principal Hindu de- fendants in the present proceedings. in O'Connell's office and that the Hin du had become friendly with him. Hari had asked him, Hartz said, to bring a bomb from San Francisco to Stockton and to place it in a Hindu temple, where it would be discovered by the editor of newspaper who was a friend of Harris. This editor would publish story of the discovery of the bomb and would lay the placing of it to British secret service operatives, Hartz and Hari had told him. This would serve to sway public opinion against the British government in America and would perhaps have in- f1uence in the cases against Franz Bopp, former German consul here, who had been tried on several charges of violating the neutrality of the Uni- ted States.
 Hartz further testified that Hari had told him:
 "I am praying every day that the present trouble between the United States and Mexico will result in open warfare because an embargo on the exportation of arms from the United States to thsiallfed powers would be declared then If i spoke .spansh as we'll as English. I would so into Mex ico and preach revolution there

SsvsnIy-FIve sugar slack0fs

Seventy-five violators Of tho sugar
regulations haze been spotted by
County Food Administrator Fred
Sherman, who is considering the is
suing Of sugar cards as a way Of
combating the difficulty. II is sur
prisingly hard, he says, to make the
public see that TO over-buy the sugaT
allowance is an act Of slackerism 10
less than is the refusal to carry a
gun. Many who are very patriotic
in other respects will persist in buy
ing more sugar than they are entitled
TO, in some cases many times that
amount.
The price-interpreting board did
not meet Tuesday night, as the food
administrator had important busi-
ness elsewhere and there were no
prices in particular need Of revision,
So this weeks prices are the same
as were publishe last week.

SAVE SUGAR ISGRF



The state food administration is
out with another plea to the people
Of New Mexico to 70 slower on the
sugar, which is becoming scarcer and
searceR The new plea came in the
shape Of a telegram from r. c. Ely,I
state food administrator, to his as
sislant, H. q. Bush, who is in Deming
for brief stay this week. Mr. ElyI
asks that consumers ask for, and
dealers, sell, only a weeks supply to|
each person living IN the city, and
a months supply to each one in the
country, based on the allowance Of
rwo pounds per month per person.
This is IN line with the efforts Of
County Administrator Fred Sherman,
who sees much that is alarming in
the sugar situation.
The food administration points out
that in Deming the sugar allowance
for September was based on the
regular amount needed when Camp
Cody was full Of soldiers, whereas
for three weeks there have been less
than three thousand men there, but
several local eating houses and a
bakery or two have failed to take
advantage Of this chance to save
more sugar.
Mr.. Ely and Mr.. Bush have just
returned from a trip to Washington,
where the food officials from all the
states were assembled, and Mr.. Bush
declares that while there il was
made plain TO them that it is fast
becoming our job to feed not only
ourselves and our allies, but Russia
and u large part Of the neutral
world as well. Africa, Asia and
South America are depending on
American food supplies to relieve
what amounts to famine in some
places, notably the west African
coast. Northern Russia is literally
starving.
While in Washington Mr.. Bush
heard an address by Floyd Gibbons
the Chicago Tribune war correspond
ent, who is just back from Franco
permanent cripple from wal
wounds. Gibbons declared the morale
Of the American soldiers is the
marvel Of all Europe, their only
drawback from the soldiers stand.

American general, on being remon.
strated with by the French command
for this failing on the part Of hii
troops, replied: '1f the kaiser ant

hell do you expect me TOT"
Mr.. Bush expects call soon int

ice, for which he has qualified, an'
will probably remain in Deming unit
the call comes.
