The Crime.

With young soldier escort, the girl was sitting on a hillside when according to her story at the trial, four negroes approached. One of them, representing himself as a mili- tary policeman, struck her escort a blow on the head and in the stomach, dazing him. The negroes then drag ged the girl to nearby clump of bushes. Her screams and the alarms sounded by her escort when he recov- cred aroused that section of the camp, and military police threw out a dragnet that resulted in the arrest of the suspects early the next morn ing, May 25. A summary courtmar- tial was organized to try the negroes, and trial started few days after commission of the crime. The find ing of the court was not announced until yesterday. after it had been re- viewed and approved by President Wilson. Both the girl and her escort were from Des Moines. The girl was declared to be in a serious condition after the attack, but has since re- .,ox,oxaJ

AMERICAN DYES.

Another instance in which America has ac-
complished the seemingly impossible is i, the
development. of edye stuTs industry.
Figures just made public by the United States
department o, Commerce show that the Amer
lean dye industry has not OILY grown big enough
to supply practically all domestic needs, but is
now exporting important quantities to other
nations.
No other article of commerce vitality
affects a greater number of industries than do
coal-tar dyes, and very few articles rival them
in con1plexity of manufacture. AT the outbreak
of the war the difficulties in the way of soon pro-
viding adequate domestic supplies seemed in
surmountable; yet in short space of years,
scores of plants covering many acres of ground
have been erected; numerous by-product coke
ovens have been equipped to furnish the neces-
sary raw materials; thousands of workmen have
been trained; special machinery has been de-
signed, built and installed; hundreds of chem
lists and chemical engineers have given their en-
tire time to the unfamiliar work connected with
color production; experimental research has been
inaugurated' for perfecting processes and ma
chinery and the possible discovery of new
colors; organization, consultations, and alli-
,nces have been effected within the industry to
further increase output at decreased cost; and
it is understood in the trade that plans are
under way for entering foreign markets on
large SCALE
America has made marvellous progress in the
solving of every unusual problem arising
result of the war and with a thoroughness
which insures the holding of its forward indus
trial and commercial position after peace is at

To Divert Travel

c. B. Hervey, manager of the San

fact that as travel has been kept open

BREAKING FOOD LAWS.

The power of the federal food administration
was forcefuly impressed upon several Tampa
merchants a few days ago when Braxton
Beacham visited that Cit, unannounced, and
proceeded to impose some stiff penalties upon
violators of the food regulations.

strictions placed the serving of beef and

they would give 5000 each to the Red Cross or
suspend business grocer who called be-
fore the administrator closed his store rather
than contribute 500 to the Red Cross under
Mr.. Beachams order.
Merchants of Tampa who were disposed to
treat the food regulations lightly were shown
the danger of their course, a substantial sum
was realized for the Red Cross and the visit is
said to have had a most salutary effect upon
merchants in other sections of the state who
were Inclined to take long chance in comply
ing with Mr. Beachem's rulings.
. Penalties have been imposed upon ten licenses
in the state and a number of cases are pending.
Action ha salso been taken against merchants
operating without licenses. A vigorous cam

boarding foodstuffs and penalties will
follow conviction.
Most merchants and most individuals are

there are, perhaps, few who have succumbed

DECEIvING THEIR OWN.

Either the German authorities trying to
fool the German people, German agents in
this country fooling the German authorities.
Following the publication of Secretary
Bakers announcement regarding the number
of American soldiers in France the following ap-
German newspaper:
"Mr. Baker thinks he will be able to dissipate
all doubts about the exactitude of his figures
with his recitations. 1t is, however, only the
usual American bluff. We know from reliable
sources that the figures in question are inordi-
nately exaggerated and in no way correspond to
the truth"
The German authorities well know that Mr.
Bakers statement is absolutely correct and they
know it is certainty that this country will have
two million men in France in very short time
But it would place them in a very awkward posi-
tion for the real truth to be known by the Ger
Ian people.
The German war lords have belittled Amer
ica's entry into the war. They have especially
asserted and insisted that Germany's subma-
rines would prevent America from sending an
army to France. Doubtless it would injuriously
affect German morale if the Germans could
know what America is doing in the war, hence
the facts withheld from them. But that
German people must learn them.

AS you SAVE YOU SERVE.

In ordinary peaceful times our merchants
were inclined to be bit wasteful in the matter
OF deliveries return OF goods, credits and multi
plicity of sales people. This they did to please
their customers. 1t cost money. 1t wasted time
and labor. 1t increased the cost of living.
But these are war days. The government in
sists that saving is prime ingredients in good
Americanism; that waste is pro- Germanism We
must save time money, labor We must help
others to save time, money and labor. Then
there will be more time more labor and more
money for war winning efforts
Every parcel carried home saves time labor
and money. Every purchase returned to the
store wastes time, labor and money.
Time, money or labor lost decreases the ma
tons war efficiency This is just as true whether
you lose them or aid your merchant in wasting
them.
American waste here at home wastes Amer
ican lives over there.

The Beavers were very strong and

Why, the Beavers were kind and
brotherly to the smallest and weak
est little people in the Great Forest.
They wouldn't harm the tiny young
rabbits, and squirrels just born. And
their parents could go off and get
food for their little ones, and they
trusted the Beavers, who would new
er touch their nest or young. The
Beavers even loved the tiny Wood

the world.

recently on a transport after serving
for months in the ranks of the

1t will be recalled that in June,

Helen Dinsmore Huntington of

her Fifth venue home and followed
her husband overseas. He had been

There were homemade cookies and
sizzling ham and eggs, and the cof-
fee was hot-Mrs. Astor insisted
upon that. There were nj decora-
plenty of them.
AS many as 5000 boys were fed in
a single day, Mrs. 'Astor said. Dur
ing these rushes all pitched in and
served. Mrs. Astor waited on the

wore long aprons, and went about

full work and there is lots left to be
DONE" Mrs. Astor said. I'm fact,
the wo,k is far from over. The men
must be entertained and fed all dur

America is that the war is over. 1t
may be, but the work is far from

cation takes a long time.
