German foreign secretary, and Count
Czernin, the former Austrian foreign
secretary were attacked. The news
paper asserted that tie two statesmen

Kuehlmann has not done anything
worse than is often witnessed by the
Berlin population when the annual

German capitol. The Vorwaerts SAYS:
"The entire affair is like an intrigue

Communication from the Federal
Food administration to the Federal

ed that figures show that, with fair
conservation of sugar, there will be
barely enough to meet the demands
for the summer, when canning indus

plan of strict economy now rather
than daring the canning season.
Retailers are instructed to maintain
the present limits fer sales of sugar
to customers-fve pounds or less to
city dwe!lers, and 10 pounds or less
to those from the rural distlicts--:or
casual sales; but during the canning
seasons the necessary amounts will be
able to be procured on filing out GER
tiicate to the State food adminiStra-
tor. It will be the duty Of the admin
istrator to tally the sales for each
week to determine the total pounds of
sugar thus purchased.
.Iobbers are now permitted to keep
or hand supply for sixty days. Sales
from wholesalers TO retailers are linn
tied to 1000 pounds at present.

Takes Roll From Her Stocking.


Sharon, Pa. April 26.-A woman's
stocking is no longer a safe bank for
keeping her money, as was proved last
night, when Mary Golish, 90 years
old, was robbed in Farrell by an un-
known man. The young woman had
been calling on some friends and went
home unaccompanied. As she was
about TO enter her nome she was
seized from behind by powerful
man.. who held one hand over hel
mouth to prevent an outcry and half
dragged her to secluded spot, where
he psoseeded to search her for money.
He tore one of her silk stockings tc
pieces and. after getting her roll con
tanning several dollars he fled. The
girl was distracted by the rough ham
ding she had received and made her
way to signal box at the corner OF
the street to call the police, but the
fire department responded instead.
The iremen made search for the
man, but failed to find any trace Of
him. The girl was unable to furnish
the police with an adequate descrip-
tion of the thief.

ACCUSES BILLY SUNDAY BATTLE STILL RAGING
Man Declares He is Author of Book
Published as Evangelist's Work.

fuDllSneQ as ENdnSellSl HoTh.
New York, April 26.-Billy Sunday
the evangelist, was named as a de-
fendant in a 100000 suit for alleged
breach of contract, filed Wednesday
in the Supreme Court by Hugh G.
Weir, of New Rochelle. Weir asserts
that he is the author of Great Love
Stories of the Bible" published as
coming from Sundays pen, and says
he had contract with the preacher
to write a number of books for him.
all of which were to be put out as Sun
days work. Weir asserts Sunday has
refused to perform the terms of the
alleged agreement and has repudiated
it.
There was an excellent sales plan
for disposing of the books, Weir as
serts. He says he was to make con-
tracts with the publishers so that
Sunday could obtain the volumes at
a special discount, enabling him to put
them on sale at the book stores main
tanned by him in his tabernacles in
various cities where he conducts re-
vival meetings. Sunday also agreed.
according to Weir, that he would di-
rect his assistants to endeavor to con-
vince his "trail- l-hitters" of the neces-
sity of their purchasing the books and
that he would devote portion Of his
sermons to this end.
Then, too, so Weir maintains, there
were to be gilt leather volumes, is
sued as special de luxe editions and
bearing the Rev. Billy's autographic
signature, to be sold at from SO to SIS
each. Weir says that Sunday repre-
sented that he could sell great num-
bers" of these to wealthy supporters
of his evangelistic enterprises. Among
the persons Weir says Sunday speci-
fed were John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
James NJ. Spiers, George w. Perkins.
John Wanamaker and Mrs. Finley
Shepard.
A special royalty of 33 13 per cent
was to be asked from the publisher
for this edition, Weir says in his aft
davit. 1t was to be shared equally
between himself and Sunday.
"Great Love Stories of the Bible"
already has been publis he'd. On the
list Of unpublished books which Weir
SAYS have been contracted for at his
hands by the preacher are "Great
Sinners Of the Bible" "Creat Mothers
of the Bible" "Great Hypocrites of the
Bible" "Great Mysteries of the Bible
and "Great Moments of the Bible.
According to Weir, there Also was
to be an autobiography of Sunday.
