The who's Who" Of German prop.

ial investigation and published in the
official records so all may know just
who were against this country in her
trying hours.
Few if any Investigations ever con-
Quoted by national body have been
so far-reaching as the one that is
promised. Every ramification of the
German net of spies, propagandists,
bomb plotters and trouble makers
generally will be traced to its source,
even though the tracing carries the
investigators back score of years.
Every man and woman who has had
the slightest connection with the
most insignificant Teuton movements
will have that connection brought to
light so that the finger of public
scorn forever shall point to him or
her as an enemy of the country.
The combined results of many
months of investigation by all the
federal agencies-the army and navy
intelligence bureaus, the Department
of Justice, the secret service, the alien
property custodian, the state attorney
general-will be used. The British
secret services, too, will be called up
on to shed light wherever needed.
The committee that will conduct
the investigation will be that headed
by Senator Overman of North Caro-
lima. The committee was organized
originally to look into the foreign
language newspapers of the country,
of which particular work Senator
King of Utah was the head.
Investigations of the brewers fund
has disclosed such close connection
between their purpose of fighting the
prohibition movement and German
propaganda that the committee has
decided to widen its scope to embrace
every element Of the enemy propa-
gandism. The first session of this in
quiry is scheduled TO take place De-
cember 3.
Several heads of the Government
investigating bureaus were in New
York recently arranging for COLA
boration in the preparation of testi-
mony.
The individuals themselves prob
ably will be called 10 the stand. The
government department heads will
testify concerning the evidence they
have accumulated. Maj. f. Lowry
Humes, conducting the brewery in
vestigation before the Senate Com
mittee, will conduct the German
propaganda expose,
Some of the department heads who |
will testify are: A. Bruce Bielaski,
justice; Brig. Gen. Churchill, army in
telligence bureau; Francis P. Garvan,
chief investigator for A. Mitchell Pal
mer, alien enemy property custodian;
W. H. Moran, chief of secret service,
and Alfred VI. Becker, deputy attorney
general of New York.

his country's call shouldered his rife
and Travelled thousands of miles over

He braved all of this to make il

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Maude Bittick, teacher of the
Carrow school, died last week after
developing pneumonia following an at
tack of influenza. Miss Bittick was a
bright, energetic and capable young
teacher and her untimely death comes
as great shock to all so fortunate as
to have made her acquaintance. Her
loss will be sorely felt not only in the
home, but in school and community.
Miss Bittick's relatives and friends
have the profound sympathy of all
st. Francois county school people in
their overwhelming grief.
At the suggestion of Hon. B. III.
Marbury, of Pennington, the follow
ing "Ten Commandments of Patriot
ism" as given by Rabbi Eichler are
here given:
l. Love thy country, which has re-
deemed thee from tyranny and bond
age.
2. Thou shalt not worship any po-
litical idols, nor bow down to them,
nor serve them; for their iniquity will
be visited on thee and thy children
until the third and fourth generations.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of
patriotism in vain, nor use it to hide
thy selfish motive.
a. Remember the day of election, to
keep it holy.
5. Honor the sanctity of the ballot
that the days of the Republic may be
prolonged.
6. Thou shalt not kill the spirit of
freedom by neglecting to exercise the
prerogatives of freeman.
z. Thou shalt not adulterate the
purity of civic life by entering poll
tics for gain.
8. Thou shalt not encourage pub
lie servants to steal by thy indiffer-
enee.
9. Thou shalt not let greed for DO
litical reward bear false witness
against the spirit of patriotism.
10. Thou shalt not covet a public
office which thou art not fit to fill.
The original Decalogue speaks of
"the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee" 1t thus lifts patriotism
up to the Highest. Teachers and stu
dents of patriotism and good citizen
ship need not hesitate to relate their
lesson to the deepest and most rever-
ent faiths of the human heart. Un-
der such conception, duties perform
ed conscientiously toward the nation
are part of the services Of the great
God!s
co. SUPT. OF SCHOOLS.

BROKER ARRESTED AC-
CUSED OF STOCK FRAUD

Caesar M. Naccache, broker who
was arrested last night at Hotel Stat
Ter, in st. Louis, and later released on
bond, is accused by George Albright,
tax collector of Madison county, and
who resides at Fredericktown, Of hav-
ing sold him oil stock for $5 share
when in reality it was only worth 80
cents a share.
Albright told the police that he
had given Naccache several thousand
dollars in cash and later his note for
$4,000 for the stock, only to find lat
er, that it was not what it was repre-
sented to be. After the transactions,
Albright says Naccache departed and
he located him here, where he filed
complaint against him.
When Naccache was arrested $427
was found in his pockets. He denies
having misrepresented the value of
the stock to Albright.-Saturday's

German News Agency
Cut Wilson's Speech
Omitted Paragraphs Regard
ing Justice to People Changed
Presidents Meaning

ZURICH, Switzerland, April 13.-Ac>
cording to the "Mahheim Volksstimme,"
the Wolff Bureau, the semi-offical
news agency in Germany, omitted two
long passages from President Wilson's
speech, entirely changing it's character
and placing it much in another light.
The passages omitted were those
commencing eve ourselves have pro-
posed no injustice" ETC., and ending
with the words "ths German leaders
are seeking" and cher statesmen have
said" ETC., and closing "to free her
dominion"
In the passages omitted by the Ger
man news bureau from President Will
sons Liberty Loan speech he said the
American people had proposed no in
justice or aggression, and in the final
reckoning intended to deal justly with
the German people. German statesmen,
he said, had stated they wished peace
and had declared peace should be made
on principles America had set forth as
her own. But at Brest-Litovsk, after
speaking similar words. the statesmen's
military masters. the men who act for
Germany and exhibit her purpose in
execution" had given real test of
German justice and fair play. The
President then roundly condemned the
German treatment of Russia and Ru-
mania, charging that "the peoples of
conquered provinces are invited to be
free. under their (the GermansD do

Mother of Emperor
Wrote Letter, One
Austrian Version

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The Aus
trian semi-ofhcial explanation of the
peace letter of Emperor Charles, &C.
cording to dispatch to-day from
France, is that it was written by the
Duchess of Parma, mother of Empress
Zita, to her son, Count Sixtus de Bour-
bon, and that the Emperor must have
added certain lines over his signature.
The Vienna view is that this explains
how Premier Clemenceau was able to
say that the letter was signed by the
Emperor.
The dispatch from France concludes:
"The following information was tele-
graphed Friday evening from Berne,
which gives us an idea of the effect
which may be produced by the revela-
tions of NJ. Clemenceau. 1t has been
possible to note the impression caused
by this publication among the jour
nalists of the Central Powers living at
Berne. During an extremely animated
conversation, in which several German
and Austrian journalists took part, one
of them exclaimed, with the approval of
his interlocutors: at is veritable
bomb that has just exploded. He will
have to abdicate.'
"Before the publication of the text
of the letter the Aussro- German press
had the audacity to declare it was a
pure invention. The confusion produced
in the camps of the Central Empires
must be nearly as great as was their
impudencc Of yesterday. They will at
tempt to throw the responsibility for
the famous letter upon certain members
OF the imperial family"

Rival Shipyards Race
To Get Launching Record

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Rivalry
between Atlantic and Pacific coast ship
yards to establish records for the quick
launching of steel ships is constantly
growing more acute. Chairman Hur-

launching of a ship now being built in
an Atlantic yard if it is put into the
water in less than sixtyfour days, the
record set at Seattle. Meanwhile the
Seattle yard is striving to lower its
record and has reported that ship
would be launched in ffty-one days,
possibly less.
Mr.. Hurley declined to name the At
