AID GERMAN ATTACK
Crown Prince Tells Kaiser Why
Allies Failed to Detect
Preparations.

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, July 5.-Karl Rosner,
a newspaper correspondent, who is fre-
quently termed the German emperor s
press agent, describes in the Lokal
Anzeiger conversation which he says
took place between the emperor and
the German crown prince, in which the
son told his father a story Of the
frogs at the battle Of the Chemin
des Danes"
The story was told, says Rosner. as
father and soon stood on a hill in the
battle sector of the army group of
crown prince said:
It was when the Germans were
preparing to storm the Chemin des
Danes. The frogs which were found
In millions in the marshy Ailette
river region croaked in such a deaf
ening fashion that they enabled the
Germans to bring up batteries. am
munition and columns without dis
covery, and when the attack actually
Of the frogs prevented the enemy from
discovering the positions of the Ger
man machine guns"
Kaiser's Motive Revealed.
During the course Of the same con-
versation, Rosner says, the emperor
described the occasion at the begin
ming Of last year when he was asked
to give permission for the blowing up
Of the famous French castle at Coucy
le Chateau, near st. Quentin. He said
he hesitated until his military ad-
visers pointed out that in the hands of
the enemy. the towers Of the castle
might menace the lives of the German
soldiers.
The emperor then remarked:
would the French act differently
in our country? The protection of
soldiers is the supreme law for the
commander. and no edif1ce ought to
be spared when it is a question of
preserving from danger and death
the men who are fighting for the
fatherland."

A Borrowed Tribal Custom.

A Mojave Indian woman, who was
evidently doing her shopping, appear
ed on the street Tuesday carrying
her articles of purchase in a bag on
her back suspended from band
resting across the forehead. This
can hardly be said to be the Mojave
fashion of carrying things, but one
that was borrowed from the Digger
Indians of central and northern CAL
ifOrnia, among whom this custom
has been in vogue from time i'm
memorial. The Digger squaw and
her bag are inseparable. This bag
is the ''catch all'' or receptacle for
everything Of which she takes toll in
her rounds of the town or country,
and in winter it serves also as pro-
lection against the rain 1t must be
said, however, that this Mojave
''squaw bag" while the same in de-
sign, was a decided improvement over
the Digger bag, for the latter is
usually made of old canvas while
the formers was of bright colored
silk.

PIGS OR PRUssIANs.

The demand for pork products by
the army and civilian population of
Europe is tremendous. About 200,-
100000 pounds of pork products are
used each month while the demand
for beef products only aggregate
about 60,000,O00 pounds each month.
Thus may be seen the fact that hog
products are needed in three times as
great amount as the cattle products
The pig is the most popular meat
making agency in America-because
first it is an economical flesh produ-
GER; second, it utilizes vast quantities
of refuse materials and by-products;
third, it maintains and increases fer
tility of land; fourth, it requires
small capital; fifth, it natures quick
ly and is marketed easily. A hog is
always ready for market when gain
ing in flesh. The pig is the mort
gage litter
American farmers have a genius
for pig production. They produce
one-third of the worlds supply. One.
hundred fifty hogs for each 100 i'm
habitants. But that is not enough
Our boys over there must must be
fed. We must have meat, fat, since
it supplies heat and energy to men
in action. Patriotism demands
we must meet this crisis, and, at the
same time, add to the support of our
