NEW ANT|SEM|T|C
CAMP PA|CN BEGUN
CERMAN|C GOVT

Stockholm, April 4. - (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press. "A
new anti-Semitic campaign has begun
in Germany, announces the German
Association for Combating of Anti
Semition, which has issued an appeal
for support in opposing this new pro-
paganda against Jews.
"All indications point to the fact
that this anti-Semitic movement will
be carried on in more intensive form
after the end of the war;" asserted the
German association. Extensive pre-
parations have been made therefor
and pecuniary resources have been as
sembled,"
The appeal defends the Jews against
charges of usury and profiteering dur
ing the war, and declares that the an
ti-Semites "desire to use hatred for
Jews as means of upholding the
strongly threatened and unjustified
privileges of small caste against the
inevitable new orientation of Germa-
ny's internal conditions"
The April number of the German
magazine Deutchlands Erneurung con-
tains an article by Dr. Erich Kuhn in
which, after discussing the campaign
to obtain a modern electoral franchise
in Prussia he declares that if the
state, ''it should be provided that only
Germans by blood-not merely by cit
izenship-shouli be eligible for cleo
ton. 1t must be also so ordered that
only pure-blooded Germans of a cer-
tain standard of education shall be
permitted to occupy responsible posts
in the press. Finally it must be so ar
ranged that in all our schols and uni
versities the spirit of German nation
alism shall be taught only by persons
of national dependence"
The publishers of Deutschlands Err
neuerung include the conservative uni
verslty professor Won Buelow, Presi-
dent Class of the Pan-German Alliance
and Professor Dietrich Schafer.
There is doubt here that the Asso-
citation for Combating of Anti-Semi-
tism correctly appraises the situation
when it declares that strong anti
Semitic campaign can be expected af
ter the war. The indications are re-
garded as unmistakable.

ROMANCE Of THE

London. April Is. = (Correspon-
dence of the Associted Press. when
the story of the humble mine sweeper

PLANT ALL SPACE
SALT LAKE CITY
(By Associated Press)

Salt Lake City, May 1.-THE aim
of the Community War Garden COM
mittee of Salt Lake City is that there
shall not be one foot Of ground ca
pable of bearing product that shall
not be planted this year. 1t is an
aim that the committee hopes to
realize, and a new and intensive cam
paign has Just been inaugurated for
The purpose of persuading those who
already have planted war gardens to
use additional acreage that has been
onated free for this purpose. With
the offer of tfe city commission to
give free water as a stimulant to the
committees aims, it is hoped that
they may be realized.
The additional land offered is par
ticularly suitable for potatoes, corn
and beans. and agriculturalists from
the University of Utah are assisting
the committee by advising the home
farmers in planting these crops.
Salt Lake City's war garden pro-
duction is estimated at S1,O00,000 by
Or. John A. Widtsoe, chairman Of the
committee, but he feels confident that
It will go beyond that sum if all Of
the people of the city take the inter
est that is being shown at present

LUTHER BURBANK
FINDS NEW WORK
FOR YOUNG HANDS
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, May 14.-Luther
! Burbank, known as the plant wiz
ard, has discovered plan for Young
America to receive special education
in the work of the American Red
Cross. School teachers in California,
Arizona and Nevada will be appealed
to for cooperation.
! The Burbank Red Cross plan is
to have four stories read to the chill
dren in all the schools of the three
states during the week of May 20 to
. 27, which has been designated by the
/ American Red Cross nationally as
War Fund Drive week. In this let
ter to Marshal Hale, manager of the
| Pacific division of the American Red
/ Cross, Burbank has explained his
plan. 1t has net with the enthusi-
astic approval of division officials
and has been adopted.
Jacques De Yonge, a resourceful
, French boy of magnificent patriot
ism, is the hero of one of teh stories
suggested by Burbank. and the
: French lad stands in a fair way to
! become as classic a figure among
school children as some of the he
roes of the old school readers, such
as Horatius, Spartacus and the 9TH
els:
Burbank, in his letter to Manager
Marshal Hale. said:
Through the courtesy of an ear
nest Red Cross worker l have read
the story of Jacques De Yonge, a
resourceful French lad whose patriot
ism stood the acid test of hard work
and family possibility, and who
proved a hero in the fact of almost
certain death.
81 was deeply impressed with the
character of this boy and believe the
story would prove an inspiration to
the school children of the Pacific di-
vision. 1t would give them keen
realization of what the children over
there are doing and perhaps lend a
personal touch to their Red Cross
work. 1t is with this conviction |
suggest putting the story before
every pupil in the schools of this
division.
"In this connection it occurs ITO
ne that some general information on
tie organization and government of
the American Red Cross would be an
excellent feature. Children who are
old enough to work and give are old
enough to understand just how their
gifts are utilized, and I believe some
short talks on the working plans of
the organization would stimulate the
interest of junior members. There is
no question as to the cordial and
eager cooperation of our teachers"

crops whatever had been moved over
the road during the past season, it was
now little more than an oozy, sticky
rut. Not roof. not a chimney was in
sight; the valley was deserted. Here
was fertile farming country-and yet
no living thing, no sound of bells, no
voices, no growing cocks, no lowing
cattle. It was depressing to O'Reilly,
and more, for there was something
menacing and threatening about It ALL
Toward noon the breeze Iessened
nnd 1t became insufferably hot. A
bank of clouds In the east promised a
cooling shower. so Johnnie sought the
nearest shade to wait for 1t, and took
advantage of the delay to eat his slen-
der lunch. He was meditatively MUNICH
ing a sweet potato when a sound at
his back caused him to leap to his feet
in alarm. He whlrled, then uttered
an exclamation of amazement. Seated
not fifty feet away was bare-legged
boy, similarly engaged In eating a
sweet potato. 1t was jacket. His
brown cheeks were distended. his
bright, inquisitive eyes were fixed upon
O'Reilly from beneath a defiant scowi.
"Jacket" cried the man. "What the
devil are you doing here?'
'You goih' to let me come along?"
challenged the intruder.
"Soi You followed me, after said

proachfuiiy; but reproaches had no
effect upon the lad. With a mild ex-
pletive, jacket signified his contempt
for such a weak form of persuasion.
"So~ here. now" O'Reilly stepped
closer. Lets be sensible about this"
But Jacket scrambled to his feet and
retreafed warily, stufing the uneaten
portion Of the sweet potato into his
mouth. 1t was plain that he had no
confidence in O'Reilly's intentions
MTttering something In a mufled
voice, he armed himself with stout
stick.
