Mr.. Walcott asked everyone who
was in favor of the honor system to
rise, everyone rose and was content
to be put on her honor. No final
VOWS were taken, no "for better OIL
for worse" pledges; it was all as
easy and as free from the clamp OF
compulsion as those delightful sis
terhoods in the Episcopal Church,
where a young lady may don a raw
ishing habit, become a religeuse for
a time, then return to the world and
marry the gentleman of her choice.

Another war method, less subtle

sided, but the strategic honors OF the
occasion fell 10 a lady, herself a
club president and having much
knowledge OF her sex.
She told them that after the war
they'd have better figures, they would
be more girlishly slender, and have
fewer double chins-and that they

Earlier in the. testimony. Senator
King asked the witness: What
stimulated you to make a study of

OhIinger. 81 appeared before the
German eXtra-territoriRl courts,

One missionary society had been

supported in Shanghai province by
the German government. Germany's
activities were apparent everywhere
Il found when l got back to my own
country that propaganda was at work

Senator Sterling of South Dakota.

and its members have resisted assimi-

dictments against the organization as
follows:
!. Consolidating all persons OF Ger

schools, stage, societies, and propa-
ganda to this end.
.. Arousing racial antagonism and
resisting assimilation.
3. Conducting a propaganda for

sinking to the state branches OF the
alliance. 1t directed:

members and the overwhelming ma

that German be taught in the schools,

GERMANY STARTED
PLOTTING AGAINST

Germany began her military prep
aration against the United States
fully twenty years age. Gustavus
Ohlinger. president OF the Toledo
Chamber Of Commerce has told three
Senators
1T WAS propaganda to destroy
r1~snsl unity through infltratiOn OF
German thought" said Mr.. Ohlinger
testifying in a hearing upon the King
bill which seeks to dissolve the Ger
man-American alliance upon the
grounds OF dislOyalty.
And this infltration Of thought Is
the plan of the German general staff
continued the witness. 1T is what
we mus fight against here. No ma
tion can fight without a flaming
spirit.
Germany came very near destroy
ing this spirit a few years ago. Just
a few years more and there would
not have been enough national unity
to combat the theory OF Deutschland
--ber Allies We have seen the same
systematic infltration Of German
thought into Russia. Italy, England
and Northern France"
Pan-German Plan.
Mr.. ORlinger swore that the Ger
man-American Alliance with its
100000 members is an organization
designed to inculcate the doctrine OF
pan-Germanism into the United
States. Instead OF the society work
ing for the advancement Of good cit
izenship. he declared its sole purpose
was to disrupt the unity OF America.
Senator King OF Utah. who framed
the bill; Senator Sterling OF South
Dakota. whose State has forbade the
teaching OF German in its schools. and
Senator Wolcott OF Delaware. in
whose home town lives the president
Of the alliance. formed the subcom-
mittee which heard the witness.
The influence exerted by the al
lance to defeat Woodrow Wilson or
Theodore Roosevelt for Presidential
nominations, because Of their pro-
ally leanings, was tremendous. the
witness said. He also asserted that
the books OF the alliance showed re-
ceipts Of $4,000: $4,000. or 100000 OF
this came from confidential sources"
From Secret Sources.
'Do you mean to infer that the
society receives money from secret
and disloyal sources" asked Senator
King.
Il certainly mean to infer that the
money comes from persons and
parties whose interests and policies
are to work against the United
States" replied Mr.. Ohlinger. III the
committee continues its investigation.
7 am sure that it will develop much
light on this subject"

by the examination OF the company :
books for the month OF January by
experts employed by the commission.
II was predicted that the action of
the Public Utilities Commission would
take care OF this deficit and probably
provide for the payment OF a dividend
of between 1 and . per cent for the
fyear 1918.

This probable action involves meas
