the building by Christmas. In archi-
lecture it will represent the Early
Gothic. and it will be frame build,
ing with brick veneer.
THE old church is too small, toe
old and not worth repairing because
it could not possibly meet the re-
quirements of the parish. so we had
to build the new one" Father Mally
says.

LEN|NE AND TR0TSKY ARE TRAITORS
BoIsHEvIK LEADERS STATES
REVEALS IN SERIES OF AMAZING DIsCIOsUREs-REvO-
LUTON POWER PLANNED BY
GERMAN GENERAL AND FINANCED
IMPERIAL
German general staff.

German general staff.
They show how the paid agents
of Germany betrayed Russia at the
Brest-Litovsk peace" conference,
how German staff officers secretly
have been received by the Bolsheviki
as military advisers; how they have
acted as spies upon the embassies OF
the nations with which Russia was al
lied or at peace; how they effectually
have directed the Bolsheviki foreign,
domestic and economic policy wholly
in the interest of Germany and the
shame and degradation of Russia.
The show how a picked German
commander was detailed to defend
Petrogred against the German army
and an extent of German intrigue
and domination almost beyond the
realm of imagination.
And they show also that the Boil
sheviki leaders, for the same German
imperial ends, have equally betrayed
the working classes of Russian whom
they pretend to represent
They show in short, that the pres
ent Bolshevik government is not a
Russian government at all, but Ger
man government, acting solely in the
interests of Germany and betraying
the Russian people, as it betrays Rus
sia's natural allies, for the benefit
of the imperial German government
alone.
Originals of documents, photo
graphs of originals and typewriter
circulars, some of them marked
very secret" or "private" and many
of them bearing the annotatiOns of
the Bolsheviki themselves--some of
them containing references to Com
rade Trotsky" or "Comrade Lenine"
comprise the damning record.
Some of the originals. it is shown,
although deposited in the secret ar
chives of the Bolsheviki. were re-
quired to be returned later to repre-
sentatives of the German genera: staff
in Petrograd that they might be de-
stroyed.
The disclosures, officially made by
the United States government. have
naturally startled the world.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1918-09-20

"These documents show that the
present heads of the Bolshevik gov
ernment--Lenine and Trotsky and
their associates are German
agents."
This fiat statement is made by the
committee on public information, an
authorized agency of the United
States government, in foreword to
a series of official documents it has
been disclosing this week, as proof
of German intrigue and treachery in
Russia.
Secured in Russia by American
agents, these documents not only
show how the German government
through it's imperial bank paid its
gold to Lenine, Trotsky and their i'm
mediate associates, to betray Russia
into deserting her allies, but give
added proofs, if any be necessary.
that Germany had perfected her
plans for a war of world conquest
long before the assassinations at Sa-
rejevo which furnished her pretext.
These documents further show that
before the world war was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into it,
Germany already was setting afool
her plans to mobilize obstructive
agents and observers" to cause ex-
plosions, strikes and outrages in this
country and planned the employment
of anarchists and escaped criminals
for the purpose.
Almost ranking in their sensational
nature with the notorious thinner
man note proposing war by Mexico
and Japan upon the United States,
these documents lay bare a new strata
of Prussian intrigue. a new view of
the workings of kultur to disrupt the
Allies, standing between the world
and kaiserism.
Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, Trotsky and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the Bolsheviki revolution which
threw Russia into such orgy of mur.
der and excesses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by the

WILSON SM0THERS
HUN PEACE MOVE
TELLS AUSTRIA A MERICA'S
TERMS HAVE BEEN PLAINLY
STATED HERETOFORE.

Germany's latest peace offensive
has been smothered. That Is how
official Washington generally regards
President Wilson's summary refusal
to join an Austrian get-together peace
council
Within half an hour after receiving
the Austrian governments note
through the Swedish minister of
sweden, Secretary of State Robert
Lansing issued this formal statement:
Il am authorized by the president
to state that the following will be the
reply of this government to the
Austro-Hungarian note proposing an
unofficial conference of belligerents:
The government of the United
States feels that there is only one
reply which it can make to the sug-
gestion Of the imperial Austro-Hun.
garian government. It has repeated
ly and with entire candor stated ths
terms upon which the United States
would consider peace and can and
will entertain no proposal for a con-
terence upon a matter concerning
which 1t has made its position and
purposes so plain"
The speed and brevity of the an
swer are regarded here as calculated
to delay ths Teuton maneuvering con-
siderably. 1t is assumed that Ger
many or her tool. Austria, will mako
further insincere peace efforts later.
The purpose behind the course was
to set an example for all the other
allies. to still and pacifist comment In
this country and to show Germany
that this government is In nowise
"blufing" about it's determination 70
go through until its terms are ac-
cepted. It meant, in plain language,
that If Austria wanted to accept Will
sons terms, notably those Of last
January, she had q chance any time,
but that she could not get a secret
council and she could not place the
burden of responsibility for contin-
ued war upon the Allies.
The effect within Germany and
Austria Is likely to be the reverse OF
what the Teutons hoped. They ap-
parently planned to use rejection to
bolster up their armies waning NOR
ale. on the plea that this is war OF
self-defense, with the opponent bent
on the destruction OF Germany.
President Wilson, however, robbed
the central powers of this plea, for
he said he had spoken candidly in the
past, and that his terms then are his
terms now.
These terms would restore Bel
gium. rob Germany of her stolen
gains in Russia, right the wrong done
in Alsace-Lorraine, give small na.
tions the right of self-determination,
avoid pnitive indemnities or annexa..
tions, establish q world peace lea1&4
and free the universe of detrimental
influence that could hereafter disrupt
world peace.
America proposes to fight on. And
having abandoned all hope of a me-
gotiated peace. she will throw 4,000,-
900 men into the struggle next year
to gain a military victory from which
she and her allies can dictate the
Wilson terms.

The False Wire Worm

Farmers near Plains have re-
ported damage being done by
the False Wire Worm. On
Thursday of last week Mr.. ]. c..
Mccullough of Manhattan, spe-
cialist in entomology, and the
county agent made an investi-
CATION of several fields reported
infested with these pests and
found them present in all the
fields examined and with the
exception of one in large
enough numbers to do great
deal of damage. Up to the pres
ent there is no method of con-
troll known. We ask all those
finding, this insect present TO re-
port the same to the county
agent and he will in turn sup
ply them with a blank to ill
out. The information thus re-
ceived will be used in working
out control methods. This
worm is a slender worm, brown
in color and resembling the
common brown weevil of the
bin. They are found about one
inch under the surface of the
ground.
The following is a brief life
history of this insect: Tie
winter is past as a partly grown
larvae at varying depths thru
The soil. With the event OF
warm weather in the spring
they become active and feed OH
the roots and crown of wheat,
until they reach their full
growth, generally about the last
of April. They pupate just be-
meath the surface of the ground
during May and the adult beet
les are out during the months
of June and July. Egg laying
occurs during the month of
July and the young worms on
Matching feeds on the decaying
matter in the soil, on the leaves
of volunteer wheat, and weeds.
The larvae are brown in color,
the pupa white. and the adult
beetles are black.

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are, taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement; II
is a startling fact, the truth of which
any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swal-
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsIn
and other strong digesters. made es-
pecially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrane of the stom-
ach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the rundown
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indiges-
tion, belching, sour stomach and head
ache. will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by II. c.

Reading to Rebuild Shops
Destroyed Wednesday

Reading. March -. -. Damage
amounting to $1,000 was caused by
a fire which totally destroyed the
fiue repair and churn shops of the
locomotive section of the Reading
railway shops Wednesday night y
number OF locomotives undergoing
repairs are temporarily tied up and
the efforts of the company to aid in
winning the war by rapidly moving
all shipments on its lines will be
somewhat delayed as result of the
blaze, which at first, in some quar-
ters, was suspected to have been of
incendiary origin. perhaps the work
of enemy agents. Officials of the
company are insistent that, although
the cause is unknown. none of the
circumstances warranted such a
theory.
The work of rebuilding will be
started at once. but 1t was predict
ed work could not be resumed for
several weeks, as much valuable ma
chinery was destroyed and would be
difficult to replace.
