VAST SPY PLOT IN
 FRANCE DETECTED

An important center of German es p;onage has been discovered. at St E;ienne. capital Of the department oi Loire, in the heart of the industrial district of France says the Figaro ol February e2.
 According to this account the pur. pose was to influence workmen by means of carefully organized sys tenn, with a view to casing strikes and riots.
 The headquarters of the propa sanda was prosperous saloon kep, by German and his wife who made a special effort to a,trac, soldiers to the establishment. Other patrons some of them of suspicious character apparently were involved in the move ment.
 The German and his wife, a Span. iard. Swiss and a man who lodged a1 the saloon. named Fialex. were arrested.
 Factory oraushtsman involved Fialex was a draughtsman at the great ordnance factory at St. Etienne. In his room were found documents showing that he vas connected close yl with the recent strike in that city He also was interested in military questions and was in correspondence with suspected individuals in an other section.
 He had a safe conduct available for various military zones. Other docu- menTs show he received large sum os money for an undertaking al St. Etienae which exposed him 10 con siderable risk. Quantities Of papers in cipher were also found in his pos session
 These discoveries. the Figaro says. esta blished the fact that under Ger man direction there is at work a de .ea.ist" organization whose ayowed obiec. is to promote at given date. while 3 German offensive is in full swing. .nsurrec.ional troubles at diff .erent points h France.
 Plot Declared Serious.
 4 high official connected with the section Of military justice said today tha, the plot vas a serious affair, bu. that it should not be exaggerated into a countrywide conspiracy. Scar ching investigations were being made into the laxity of certain officials in Issuing papers and probably would result in their removal, he added.
 Stern measures now are being talk. en in connection with the issuance of papers permitting foreigners to re- side in France. In one case recently a German deserter obtained docu- ments permitting him 10 travel at will.
 The documents and evidence in the case of Bolo Pasha, convicted Of trea. son and sentenced to death, will be submitted to the Court Of Appeals to morrow I, will be about three weeks before the appeal will be acted upon.
 Captain Bouchardon, of the Paris military court. today sent for Joseph Csiilaux, former premier. and also ac- cused Of treason, and submitted him 10 a long examination.

RENEWAL OF THE VIGOR
IN POTATO CAMPAIGN
Food Administrator to Devote Re.
mainder of Week to Urging It's
Use by Householders.

The potato campaign in the District
is to take on renewed vigor for the bal
ance of the week. because the publicity
campaign is to be dropped after Sunday
in order not to detract in any manner
from the Red Cross drive. This was de-
cided yesterday afternoon after a con-
ference between Clarence r. Wilson,
District food administrator. and John
H. wilkins, chairman of the potato
campaign committee.
although the campaign of publicity
will be over" said Mr.. Wilson yester-
day. the need for eating potatoes will
not. There will be just as much need
for consuming the potatoes next week
and after as there has been during the
campaign. The people of Washington
have done great patriotic duty dur
ing the last few weeks in the way of
substituting potatoes for wheat, and
the result has been that many bushels
of wheat have been released for use of
the soldiers in France"
Mr.. Wilson also paid a compliment to
the Washington merchants who, out of
their own pockets. have donated money
for quarter-page advertisement in all
four Washington newspapers.
The potato exhibit at the Public Lii
brary will be continued for another
week. and many school teachers are
planning to take their classes to wit
ness it as supplement to the cam
paign of composition writing that has
been going on in the schools since the
potato campaign started.

HEARINGS DEMANDED
IN TRAFFIC RATE RISE
Shippers Want Opportunity to Re.
view Proposed Increases of
Rail Charges.

Vigorous protests against the railroad
administrations contemplated increase of
freight and passenger rates without CIV
ing first an opportunity for review have
come from shippers.
These protests indicated that the ship
pers will not object seriously to a material
raise in rates. They realize the necessity
Of paying higher wages and higher prices
for supplies and materials must be aug
mented BY greater revenues from opera
tons.
Some shippers even ntmated that they
would not protest against an increase of
25 per cent, which has been recommended
to Director General McAdoo as necessary
to meet this years increase in expense.
They commended. however. that a review
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion before the rates should go into
effect would be necessary in order. to pre-
vent inadvertent changes in rate rela-
tionshps
Railroad administration officials ex-
planned to shippers who inquired that
some rate increase is inevitable, but said
the amount would be determined by Di-
rector General McAdoo, who has not yet
indicated definitely his attitude. They
said the schedules now worked out in
preparation for new rate orders provide
for increasing rates about 25 per cent
between basic rate points-Chicag go and
New York. for instance-and that rates
from Intermediary points would be corn
puted on that basis -.

SUGAR CERTIFICATES
FOR GAMERS ONLY
Plenty of Sweetening for Domestic
Users, Says Administering
Punish Hoarders.

There is no need of alarm in the
sugar situation in Washington. says
Clarence r. Wilson, food administra-
tor fer the District of Columbia. Many
Washington housewives have become
panicky since the announcement of the
issuance of sugar certificates. think
ing that they would have to obtain GER
tifcates to get their usual quantities
of sugar after May Is. and as a result
many Of them have been buying sugar
from as. many groceries as they could.
some going several miles from their
home and traversing a, regular route Of
grocery stores and obtaining the usual
two pounds of sugar at each store In
this way they have accumulated quite a
store of sugar. and necessarily have
caused drain on the supply in Washing
ton.
Mr.. Wilson said yesterday that the GER
tif1cates only applied to manufacturers
and housewives who wanted to use sugar
in big quantities for canning purposes. and
did not apply to the usual supply which
is obtained for household uses. The food
administrator also called attention to the
fact that any one stocking up on sugar or
other supplies was liable to a fine and
Imprisonment for boarding. The District
Food Administration is keeping a close
check on the sugar supply in Washington.
especially at this time, and they say that
any undue buying shows up Immediately.
Mr.. Wilson said that he was following up
these showings and would prosecute to
the limit any one in Washington who was
found boarding food of any kind.
1.-The certificates for sugar, which goes
into effect May 49," Mr. Wilson said, sis
only intended to conserve the sugar sup
ply. There is plenty to go around. and
the use OF the certificates is only for the
a
for those who use sugar in manufacturing
! In this manner it Is possible to keep a
check on the sugar and insure an ade-
quate supply here at all times. and to
distribute 1t equitably. II any one OBJ
tains certificate for sugar on the pre-
tense Of canning and does not use it for
that purpose. they are violating the law
and will be dealt with accordingly"

RUSSIAN. R. R. SERVICE
RATED UNDESIRABLE"
Chaotic Conditions Said to Be Due
Largely to the Congestion From
Ukraine Commotion.
Cable9ram to The Evening Star and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1884,

CableRram to The Evening Star and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1884,
STOCKHOLM. Sweden. May 14.-Prof.
Milyoukoff's paper. the Reich, which
has been renamed the Nashe Vyek. de-
clares that conditions on the Russian
railways are indcscribably chaotic
! This is in a large measure due to the
disorder attending the Russian evacua-
ton when gear and goods were car
ried off from the Ukraine. The big
functions in the interior are hopelessly
congested. One of them contains $4,000
cars, 5000 of which are loaded. and
1000 are useless. 1t is impossible to
discover their destinations. All the
junction stores and sheds are full.
The locomotive shortage is so bad
that it is almist impossible to continue
any sort of traffic. The number of
broke down locomotives on certain
systems Is so per cent or more. The
Ukraine detained 1000 locomotives and
co. 0o cars. Fuel is almost exhausted
and none is available from the DonestZ
coal fields. The production in the
Trails has of late been less than one
seventh of the normal amount
The supplies of liquid fuel are no
better. The railroads need normally
5000. 100000 pounds of petroleum an
nually. Fly May 10 last year 80O,O00,-
900 pounds had been delivered. This
yeartno single ton has been deliv-
cred and the Germans stand between
Russia and the Baku oil wells.

Private Danny's
War Book :
BY FRAZIER HUNT.
CHAPTER So.

Well, If was to try to describe Camp
Merritt. out here in New Jersey. where
all us soldiers who are about to go to
France are gathered, l suppose 1 would
get this war book all censured and
probably get into a lot of trouble. too
So I won't tell SO awful much. except
that this camp is a couple of miles
long and mile wide and has hundreds
of small barracks that hold so men
each and are built something like our
own draft cantonment barracks are.
only, of course, being much smaller.
Well, we got our first look at some of
these regulars and National Guard
troops when we arrived here yesterday.
and l would like to state right now
that people who have got sons and
brothers and sweethearts and etc in the
draft regiments can go around with
their chests stuck out from now on
hence. We got these other birds look
ing like a bunch of amateurs. and I
might add that so have our officers
even most of our Secund Lutenants.
