GROUND GLASS SCARCE

White flour substitutes now general
~ used sometimes bake SO as to give
the appearance of CLASSY substances
in tie finished loaf, and may well have
caused the ground glass scare, ac-
cording to report of chemistry ex-
perts to the Journeymen Bakers and
Confectionery Workers international
Union in New York.
The union asked r. E. Davis, in
structor of chemistry, and Frank Raj
ner, instructor in baking technology
at the Lane Technical School in Chi
cago, to investigate and find if there
were any reasons for the repeated
stories of ground glass in bread prod
ucts.
Corn flour under the microscope
shows many hard, flinty pieces of the
cndosperm, which have a very CLASSY
appearance" the report says. "When
baked in quick oven some of these
particles retain their glass-like APP
pearance, though in the ordinary proc
ess of baking this appearance is lost
I'm bran fours particles of the hard
outer husk retain their shiny appear
ance and a nervous person might well
imagine that he is seeing glass upon
observing them"
Dextrine, when dried from a starch
solutions, solidifies into hard, trans
parent mass easily mistaken for glass,
the report also says.
The ground glass scare soon reached
and certain particles found
in bread were at times taken to the
station house and turned over to the
police. 1t never was believed, how.
ever, that these substances were
ground glass.

WOULD SUPPRESS VICE


That Virginians are determined to
Danish commercialiZed vice and Its
contingent disease from that part OF
the state contiguous to the army and
navy training camps were emphasized
last week when more than 200 state,
army and navy officials met in the hall
of the House of Delegates in Rich
mond in response to Governor Davis
call for law enforcement conference.
All showed disposition to get to-
gether and work out some plan
through which the end toward which
they are working might be attained.
Officers of the army and navy,
MAYORS and policemen, health officials
and heads of reform institutions ad-
dressed it. Among those who delivered
addresses were Mrs. Kate Waller Bar
rett of Alexandria, president of the
Florence Crittenden Mission; Mayor
Fisher. J. Y. Williams and DR.. +. A.
German, of this city. also attended
the conference.
The resolutions which were adopted
call upon all good citizens to uphold
the properly constituted authorities of
the state of Virginia in their efforts to
enforce the laws of the Commonwealth
particularly those which either direct
" or indirectly may have bearing
upon the protection of the national
fighting forces or in any other manner
may help toward winning the war.
Also that it is neither wise nor patri-
otto at this time to interpose technical
objections to the enforcement of laws
made to advance the interests of the
nation and help the cause of civiliza-
ton in it's hour of peril, nor is it proper
to tie the hands of officials by testing
the constitutionality of such regula-
tons.
In all cases of where keepers of dis
orderly houses and inmates of the
same appear in police courts Jail SEN
fences should be imposed instead Of
placing fines upon the offenders. This
method has recently been in vogue in
this city. Such violators of law would
gladly pay any reasonable assessment
in order to return to their homes and
resume their illegal occupations.

assaults upon civilization that Kari
Hapsburg calls upon William Hohen-
zollern. 1t, is because the rotten en-
pire having its core at Vienna is about
to fall to pieces. Unless Germany can
administer some heroic elixir, the
Hapsburg dynasty wifi follow the Ro-
manoff into the limbo Of CASTOR ty-

with Hapsburg and with Austria since
the evil day when Hohenzollern and
his conspirators egged the Vienna

venture of numbering Serbia.

of brigandage and murder, the two

LODGE OF SORROW

The German press in recounting
with grave detail the meeting between
the German and Austrian emparors
and their STATS at the German great
headquarters, where it is asserted tha'
the broad lines Of the closer allian,a
between the two empires were defined
and agreed to in principle. No details
are voUchsafed, of course. The effort
is made TO give out such report as
will silence the rising roar of mutiny
IN Austria and at the same time hood
wink allied peoples into the belief that
the Austro-German alliance is to be
stronger than ever.
As the Washington Post says. the
reason for Hapsburg's visit to Hohen-
zo!lern IS clear and incapable of dis
Spise. Il is because Austria Hungary
IS on the verge of collapse that HapS-
burg appeals TO the German overload.
The situation in ria-Hungary is

NOT WASTED COURAGE

Arthur Brisbane, in the New York
American tells of French boy, 16
years old, who was seized by German
soldiers and ordered to tell what ne
knew of French troops. He looked III
their faces and said: ~ know nothing;
there are none here"
They took him along as prisoner.
Soon from ambush French troops
opened fire on the Germans. Cues
toned again, the boy refused with
proud SMILE" to deny that he knew
French troops were waiting.
A few second later he was standing
with his back against telegraph pole,
his eyes (not covered) looking straight
at the Germans as the vollcy OF bull
lets entered his body.
The German commanding officer is
quoted as saying: INFATUATED boy; it
was pity to see such wasted cour-
age"
It was not wasted courage. Study
the face Of that boy as he refused to
betray his friends, walked into the
deadly ambush with his captors and
afterward, free Of fear, faced death.
In that face you may read centuries or
the history that have made France a
great nation.
1t is not wasted courage that has
made so many die fer France and for
other countries that have deserved the
love ard admiration of their children
1t was not wasted courage" when
Joan of Arc went out from her little
village to help France and establish i
cowardly, ungrateful king.
1t was not "wasted courage that
inspired her as she stood at Rouen
with the flames eating her body.
1t was not "wasted courage" that
inspired such men as Duguesclin, or
Bayard, or Jean Bart, or that little
French boy of 10 accepting with q
proud smile" the opportunity to give
his life for France. Many lives have
been given to France with a proud
smile" and none were wasted.
The man commanding the firing
squad that killed the boy might have
read in his face that France never
can be conquered.
Territory may be taken temporarily
boys may be shot down to punish them
for noble courage; women and chill
dren may die; want. hunger, all the
curses of war. may be sent to devas-
tate the nation by brutal ambition
But despair can never live there. Anal
courage will never die there. And
the German will never rule there. For
in the face of the child there was
more power than in all the cannon of
the kaiser and all his marching troops.

MISSING cYcLops,
Former u. S. Collier Believes by
Brazilians to Be a German ha1Ser.

Brazilians to Be. a German hslSer.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, May 14.-Is the
missing United States collier Cyclops
now German raider? Has she been
fitted up at Caribbean or Mexican
port to prey on allied commerce?
Brazil is investigating report that
such is the case. The mystery Of the
lost collier, last heard from on March
4, is deeper today than ever.
Search of the southern Atlantic has
been fruitless. No wreckage or other
trace of the ship has been found. Be-
lief grows that the vessel was not
at sea, but was lured into the hands
of German agents. The strongest clue
is this:
Three weeks before the vessels dis
appearance was announced from
Washington, there appeared in a Rio
Janeiro newspaper a small adj an
nouncing that a funeral mass would
be said for A. L. M. Gottschalk, Unit
ed States consul general in Rio Janeiro
who was on the Cyclops when she
sailed The time and name of the
church were given.
No reports had been received here
then of the vessels Disappearance
Efforts to trace the ad showed it had
come unsigned, accompanied by the
money to pay for its insertion Rio
Janeiro jumped to the conclusion, when
this was recalled, that Germans had
placed a time bomb in the Cyclops
hold. Then somebody asked: "How
could the spies know the bomb had
not been found and the ship saved?
She had already called at West In
dian port, and was less than a week
overdue?"
Next came reports of mysterious
vessel in West Indian waters which
answered no halls at night, and was
not to be found the following day.
That leads to the theory that the Cy-
clops, after March 4, was captured or
delivered into the hands of Ger
man U-boat or of pro-Germans Sc
eretly on board, changed her course,
and has now been fitted up as a Ger
man raider at some Amazon or Carri-
bean or Mexican port. The ad in the
Rio Janeiro paper was the "code" an
nouncement of the success of the plot
or coup.
1t is pointed out as perhaps a coin
cidence that the two most important
men on the Cyclops had German
names. They are Consul General Gott-
schalks, and the commander, Lieuten-
ant Commander G w. Worley, whose
name at birth was Wichtmann and
who was native of Germany.
