Relatives of Fallen Heroes Complain
of Delays in Getting
Effects

Paris.-Complaint has been lodged
against the bureau In the Rue Lacre-

The complaint is that there is inter-
minable delay, and efforts are being
made to speed 1t up.

Betrayers Got Rich.

Originals of documents, photographs
of originals and typewriter circulars,
some of them marked very Sc
cret" or private" and many of
them bearing the annotations of the
bolsheviki leaders themselves, some
of them containing references to
"Comrade Trotzky" or "Comrade Le-
nine" comprise the damning record.
Some of the originals, it is shown,
although deposited in the secret
archives of the bolsheviki, were re-
CURED TO be returned later to repre-
sentatives of the German general
staff in Petrograd that they might
be destroyed. But evidence of them
remain in the fabric of roguery and
into the vacancies they fit perfectly.
The bolsheviki leaders themselves in
formed their Comrades" that the
German government had required the
return of the order of the German
imperial bank depositing 100000
gold rubles in a Stockholm bank for
Lenine and Trotzky, and that, at
the same time, the accounts of the
bank had been audited" to conceal
the payments.

EXPERIMENTS ON SHELL
TO END U-B0AT MENACE

Evansville, Ind. - William
Schnabel is experimenting on a
shell with which he hopes to end
the submarine peril by shooting
the U-boat instead of its perl
scope. He says his shell is nom
ricocheting and that 1t will not
skip along on top of the water
when shot at an angle, as those
in use now do.

MARKET Al SPOKANE.

The general situation is character
lied by even increased activity in all
essential manufacturing and industry,
with difficulty experienced in obtain
ing sufficient cars, labor and ma
terials. The process of eliminating
all unnecessary styles, sizes and num-
bers in manufactured merchandise
generally continues and is accepted
gracefully by the public.
In this section the wheat harvest is
being completed without further out
ward developments. Mining and lum-
bering operations are maintained on
as large a scale as the increasing
shortage of man-power permits.
Provisions.
Butter-Quotations are unchanged
at 53@52c for creameries, but gov
eminent requirements are having. a
considerable effect upon the milk sit
uation in this section, Coast markets
are up, and another advance may be
expected here soon.
Eggs-The supply of fresh local
eggs is shrinking daily and quotations
are up about 25c at $14.75 at the top.
Storage eggs are active and UNI
changed at $13.
Poultry-There are no material
changes in the list, with hens con.
tinuing scarce but springers fairly
plentiful.
Fresh Meats-Receipts at the local
stockyards for the week ended Sept
ii were 1,101 cattle, 80 calves, SOS
hogs and 3,622 sheep. The cattle sup
ply was good and prices in this de
partment eased off slightly as com
pared with a week ago. Hogs anC
sheep are practically the same as las
week. In the dressed list there are
further advances in beef and pork.
Lard and Cured Meats-The marke
is firm but unchanged in both depart
ments since the 1c reduction las
week under administration orders.
Hides and Wool-Prices in both de
partments are now practically fixe'
for three months periods and M
changes may be expected until afte
October /.
Fruits and Vegetables.
With the more flexible sugar-for
canning regulations, there mas beel
noticed an active demand for stapl
late produce for canning. The can
ming of berries and early stuffs wa
very light.
Peaches-This fruit is scarcer thai
ever before in the history of loca
fruit houses at this time of year
Only a few late varieties remain t

$1.25@1.35. The season has been

Melons-Some shipments of cants
loupes are still arriving from Califol
mia, but that movement is PRACTICAL

sources. Prices unchanged. Water
melons unchanged.

Revolution Was Prearraneed.

Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, Trotzky and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bolsheviki revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of muir
der and excuses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by
the German general staff. They show
how the paid agents of Germany be-
trayed Russia at the Brest-LitOvsk
peace" conference; how German staff
officers secretly have been received
by the bolsheviki as military advis-
ers how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace, how they effectually have di-
rected the bolsheviki foreign, do
nestle and economic policy wholly in
the interest of Germany and the
shame and degradation of Russia.
They show how a picked German
commander was detailed to defend
Petrograd against the German army
and an extent of German intrigue and
domination almost beyond the realm
of imagination.

Washington, d. C.-Proofs removing
any doubts that Lenine and Trotzky,

main-are laid before the world now
Shy the United States government in.
the first instalment of an amazing Sc
ries of official documents disclosed
through the committee on public in
formation.
Secured in Russia by American
agents, these documents not only show
how the German government through
its imperial bank paid its gold to Len
inc, Trotzky and their immediate asso-
ciates to betray Russia into deserving

fected her plans for war of world
conquest long before the assassina-
tons at Sarapevo, which, as the world
is now convinced, conveniently fur
nished her pretext.
Plot Against United States.
These documents further shaw 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 set
ting afoot her plans to mobilize de
structive agents and observers to
cause explosions, strikes and out

capped criminals" for the purpose.
Almost ranking in their sensational
nature with the notorious thinner.

and Japan upon the United States
these documents lay bare a new strata
of Prussian intrigue, a new view OF
the workings of that Hun kultur to dis
rupt the allies, standing between the
world and kaiserism. They disclose
new story of human treachery for golc
which might almost well be described
without sacrilegt as placing its perpe
traitors on a pedestal with Judas ant
his 80 pieces of silver.

changing views on peace proposals.

Wilson.
This report was later denied. Prof.
Quidde was repudiated in govern

BRITISH DESTROY HUN

LONDON. August 12.-British air
craft accompanying naval recon-

Frisian coast of Holland. yesterday
morning. brought down a German air
ship in flames north Of Ameland. Six
of the motorboats engaged in this ex.

here. After a quick survey of the
situation, it was decided to take imme-
diate steps toward conservation.
A number of the ice manufacturers
and dealers and ice cream manufac-
turers were consulted. Following a
long executive session the announce
ment affecting the ice cream manufac-
turers was made.
That this step would be taken today
was exclusively told in. The Star last
Saturday, when the local situation had
practically reached a crisis. Notwith-
standing the heroic measures taken to
increase the production of ice to main
tain an efficient distribution and to OBJ
tain supplies from neighboring states, 1t
was seen then that something drastic
must be decided upon if the homes in
Washington were to have sufficient ice
The ice cream manufacturers accept
ed the administrations edict to close
down with exceptionally good grace, de-
spite that 1t will mean great financial
loss. They assured the administrators
they would not. only strictly abide by
his order. but that they were ready to
do anything else to help him meet the
situation.
Although the plants will shut down
tonight. there re win be a certain
! sale tomorrow. This ice cream will
be what was left over from today's
production: After tomorrow Wash
1ngton Will be absolutely bone dry
for seven days so far as commercial
ice cream is concerned.
During that period ice cream men
figure at least 100000 pounds of ice
will have been saved for home use.
This. the administration realizes, will
materially help. but will fall short of
meeting the actual necessary de-
mands should the. ice supply from
out of town be entirely cut on.
Word was, received this morning
that the daily supply from Winches-
ter. Va, and other western Virginia
points would be discontinued. 1t was
explained that Norfolk is undergoing
serious ice situation and that the
supply which had been coming here
would be sent to that city:H
1t is understood that the War De-
partment has promised to furnish
twenty-five soldiers for work in the
| ice plants. This is expected to help
considerably, as the labor problem
has been serious during the Ice
| scarcity.

Initial declines were due to reports
