shAFRoTH PATRIOTISM
EutOolZED BY WILSON

The following note from President
Wilson to Mrs. John F. Shafroth Is
graceful tribute to the service OF the
three Shafroth boys In the present
war.
A canvass of the United States Con-
gress made by the officers Of the Con
gressional Club referred to below
showed that the Shafroth family led
all the rest in the number OF sons In
actual service.
The graceful recognition OF the pa

President Wilson surely will find cor

 CAUSE OF SCOURGE

WASHINGTON, Jan. p. - Ger many's war bread, reported to be aduI terated with various flour substitutes, hao caused widespread sickness in the Kaisel's empire, according to reports received here.
 The situation in Germany, it was said, was so serious that a committee of scientists has been appointed in Berlin to take drastic measures to re- mcdy it.
 The German war loaf, the report stated, cmits a disagreeable odor and has an unpleasant taste and flavor, and has been the source of a serious illness which, it is said, has approach ed the dimensions of a scourgc in Der lin and other German cities.

AIRY NADOO WOULD DISCOURAGE USE OF GOLD
 IN MAKING UP PAY ROLLS

The following statement has been made by Secretary McAdoo:
 The use of gold coin as a circulat- ing medium leads to rapid abrasion and consequent loss of value. There k a real economy in using currency in all ordinary domestic transactions, letting coined gold be used as secur- ity behind gold certificates and as re- serve for Federal reserve notes and other forms of paper currency or for foreign exchange settlements in cases where nothing else can be used in ad- iusting international balances.
 There are some firms and corpora tions, however, in various sections of the country which have been accus- toned, in making up their pay rolls, ,o use machines for counting money. While there is no objection to the use of these machines in handling silver coins, the use of gold in them in times like the present must be discouraged.
 In most cases firms and corpora lions which have been using gold in these machines have discontinued the practice, realizing the importance of protecting the county's gold supply and of discouraging the wasteful use of gold for pay rolls, especially as in most cases the recipient of the gold coin would prefer paper money. In some eases, however, paymaslers have seen fit to consult their own conven- fence and continue to make demands upon the banks for gold coin for pay toll purposes. The banks, realizing the waste incident to the use of gold for such purposes, have objected to- meeting the demands of the paymast- CTS, but in some instances have been threatened with the loss of the ac- count in case of their failure to com ply. statement being made that other banks in the community would be will ing to furnish the gold in considera- ton of the transfer of the account. It! is hoped, however, that upon refIec ton firms and corporations which are still using gold and banks which signi- fy their willingness to furnish it will realize that this is a selfish and un- patriotic attitude, and that for the sake of the good of the country in these serious times they will subor- dinate considerations of personal con- venience or of profit to the general welfare and be content to make up. their pay rolls in currency, using sil- ! yer coins, of course, for fractional payments.

 Quite right" says the pessimistic woman, "but where are we to get the S3OO?"
 "The article makes an allowance of $50. for furs, $5 for one corset, $50 for one party dress and $25 for three or four hats"
 The Hoozerized styles have decreed that woman must skimp in material and that skirts, waists and such must be made in simpler. more tight-fitting models.

 There must be something more than mere opinion in the statemcnt Neutral observers declare that the gap between the German parties suddenly has become chasm so wide that there is little hope of bridging it. and that the development of an internal crisis of serious proportions is inevitable The plain people of Germany have always been See and it is mhinkabe that uprising against the government could be effeced the people and the sol diers have too long been trained to blind obedience.
 But what changes may not have come over the mind of the plain people of Germany in the past three and half years? Hitherto war has always been profitable for Prussia. Outrageous indemnites were always imposed the vanQuished Rich territory was annexed and Prus sanzed Prussia became rich powerful and aggressive and under Bismarcks policy of blood and iron created Germany At the beginning of the present the kaiS promised his people the same kind of harvest as attend ed the FrancoPrusSian war in 1871 but the fruit multi piled many times and they believed him.
