NOTORIOUS HUN INTRIGUER

Admiral Won Hintze, German min
lister at Christiania and formerly
minister to Mexico, who was selected
to succeed DR.. Won Kuehlmann as
foreign secretary, is perhaps the most
notorious intriguer in the German dip
lomatic service. China has been the
scene Of much of his activity, and
there he hobnobbed not only with the
Germanophile mandarins, but also
with the robber bands and spies.
So scandalous, indeed, was his be-
havior that he was recalled for q
while and at the outbreak of the war
he was In Mexico. In the guise Of an
Englishman he managed to return to
Germany by way Of the United States,
England and Holland, and in 1915 was
sent back to China as minister.
He travelled once more by the
way Of America, and despite the close
watch for him which was kept by the
japanese he managed to get across
the Pacific as a supercargo in Scan

RECRUITING WOMEN DOCTORS

After six months trial of the

French government has asked the
National Woman Suffrage association,

nurses aids, clerks, chauffeurs, ETC.,
to run 3OO-bed hospital to be estab-

Raymond Brown of New York, who
went to France for the suffragists to
inspect the units they had sent and
report what was needed, came back
with this official request and is scour-
ing the country now for the very best
experts her sex can furnish to enlist
for this dangerous work.
"It is dangerous" she said in her
office at national suffrage headquar-

SHEEP AID FARM LABOR
prepared by the q 9. Department
OF Agriculture)

(FrepaI00 Dy inc u q. department
of Agriculture.)
The extra labor required to
keep weeds under control Is prob
ably the greatest economic loss
which they cause. Labor Is too
much needed for other lines of
farm work and should not be
used in fighting weeds If they
can be eradicated in any other
way. Yet weeds must be con-
trolled If maximum crop yields
are to be secured. In this re-
spect sheep can aid in the farm
labor problem. They will eat
most weeds, and ON any farm
will greatly reduce the amount
Of hand labor needed to hold
weeds in check in pastures and
grain fields. Keep sheep and ar
range your farm so they can
help in the fight with weeds.
