'SERUMOFS SILENCE
KILLS TEuTON
PROPAGANDA
WOMEN REFUSE TO SPREAD
LIES STARTED BY
ENEMY
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. &c.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. -.
1.-The women certainly started
something when they inaugurated
their campaign to innoculate Ger
man propaganda poison with the
serum of silence" said Miss Flor
ence King, president of the Women's
Association of Commerce, in a mes
sage just received here by the Cali
fornia branch of the national war
garden commission.
"Since the convention of the Wo-
mems Association of Commerce in
Cincinnati" Miss King wrote, we
have had hundreds upon hundreds
of inquiries as to the serum of 81
lence.' This method of fighting
German propaganda was suggested
to us by the educational section of
the national IA garden commits
sion.
THE silence campaign is simple.
When you hear knocks against your
government or exaggerated stories
you may be pretty sure an enemy
has started them. There is the
tongue cut out story and a score of
others = all lies. Turn from the
story teller in silence.
HE will know you mean BUSH
ness. Get two friends to get two
friends to do the same.
Kill German propaganda by re-
fusing to listen to it and in that
way paralyze the most powerful arm
Of the German war machine and
win the wal going on on this side
of the ocean"

YUKON MINES ARE
PRODUCING SILVER
GREAT ACTICITY IN REGIONS
TRIBUTARY TO DAW-
SON

DAWSON CITY, Aug. 81. = The
Yukon is turning from gold to sill
yer mining. While the value of the
former, or it's purchasing power, has
decreased, that of silver has been
doubled.
There is great activity in two
silver-bearing areas tributary to
Dawson, the Mayo district on the
upper Stewart river and along the
Twelve-Mile creek. These fields
are $50 miles apart.
Silver was discovered in thess
areas years ago, but no work was
ever done.
The Canadian government has
dispatched a party of biologists N
investigate the prospects of develop
ing the silver mining industry in
this section.

BOTH MEN IN RIGHT PLACE
Al Least, That Is Likely to Be Yer
dict of Those Who ToiIed over In
eome-Tax Schedules.

The visitor was being conducted
through a state institution for the
insane and his guide was an affable
young man from the harmless ward
whose keen intelligence made the Wis
itor wonder why he was under re-
straint.
Stopping in front of a padded cell,
they looked at a stout, short individ-
ual with a forelock draped e one
eye and a pose Enthusiastically
Napoleonic.
Thinks he's the Little Corporal,

Across the corridor in another cell
was an old man porting over a num-
Der of blue prints.

"Poor chap" laughed the guide; "he
thinks that he has invented a subma-
rine-proof ship. The hull of the ship
is honeycombed with holes; when the
war-head of the torpedo strikes, it
goes into one of the holes and is held
fast by its Sides"
But" objected the visitor, suppose
the torpedo strikes between the
holes?"
"In that case" said the guide as he
shook with laughter, sit wouldn't
count and the submarine would be en-
titled to another try"
In the last cell was a middle-aged
man at a high desk. He looked up a IS

Foch Keen Student of War.

General Foch, like General JOffre.
is a home lover and avoids society.
He Is said to live in a small fiat near
his office, when not at the front, and
to be devoted to his family. The con-
ventions of society bore him. Like the
prOverbial Englishman, he is fond of
taking long walks, and W knows
when he is beaten. His saying that
''the battle is never lost until its loss
is admitted" is famous and indicates
lot only his military wisdom, but his
q n and courageous philosophy. AL
ready a master of strategy before the
war, he has not been slow to learn the
new lessons of the present conflict;
rather, indeed, has he developed added
initiative, decision and military audac-
ity.

NURSE Is
IN LONDON HOSPITAL

Miss Mary Curley, formerly a
nurse in the county hospital here
and now with the American forces
in England, in her first letter writ
ten from across the pond" to her
sister, Miss Katherine Curley, says:
I'VE had a wonderful trip and are
now in a veritable paradise. We
are entirely out of harms way and
the only thing that could happen
to me here is to fall a victim to old
age, as 1 think 1 could stay here
until l die"
Miss Curley says the English peo-
pie treat her royalty and that she
does not believe people in America
yet understand what sacrifices the
allies are making. Discussing the
butter and sugar question, she says:
I'VE had butter and sugar today
for the first time since We arrived
here. We were delighted with the
butter, but we have had plenty of
jam, so really have not missed it
so much"
Miss Curley visited London and
saw the tombs of lord this and
duke that and so IN and also visit
ed Westminster abbey, of which she
remarks it is too bad she is not a
celebrity of some kind so she could
have her statue erected there.
Continuing, she says: 1--WE have
all been invited to join the Ameri-
can nurses club in London" and
lit is a fine place." The clubhouse
is across the road, which is Eng
lish for street, from the grounds of
Buckingham palace, but the grounds
are not open to the public at any
time. However, Goldfield's only
nurse in the service was permitted
to visit the royal stables and of the
visit she says: lone of the guides
was kind to us and told us to go to
a certain place and wait a few min
utes for a sight of the king and
queen This we did and soon along

USEOFREELY
IN KITCHEN AT
CAMP LEWIS
-
EVEN RANGES ARE CLEANED
THOROUGHLY EACH
DAY

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash,
Aug. 26. - Housewives who clean
their pantries once a month and be-
lieve they are wonderfully clean
should read the general order is
sued here recently on this subject
for all kitchens in the camp.
Immediately after breakfast one
man must be detailed by the mess
sergeant to clean tn epantry. All
articles must be taken from the
shelves and the shelves scrubbed
and dried.
The articles which we're on the
shelf then must be wiped and re-
placed in orderly amer with all
labels to the front that they may be
checked rapidly.
The orders also included new reg
ulations for the kitchens and dining
rooms.
While breakfast is being served a
boiler of water is heated and after
breakfast is served the kitchen and
dining room floors are thoroughly
scrubbed and dried.
A hint is given to housewives as
the order forbids flushing the floors
with water as this causes them to
become water soaked and to turn
dark. Even the ranges are not
overlooked and after breakfast must
be given a thorough cleaning inside
and out. The ice box also is clean
ed with boiling water each day.

This swindIer Up to Date.

Thought reading was the method
claimed to have been employed by a
man in Bengal, India, to win large
sums of money on the race course. 1t
turned out to be Il very ingenious form
of swindle. Finding a man who is in
terested in racing. the confidence mar
produces a roll of money, and states
that he won this by his fOre-knowl-
edge of the winners on the track. He
then suggests that his friend test his
knowledge. He induces his victim to
hand him sums of money to be placed
on the horses, and her vanishes. In
vestigation has proved that this Ben
gall had swindled a number of peo-
pie Of large sums of money in this
way.

1918 TO BE POOR
YEAR FOR COLLEGE
FOOTBALL IN EAST
HARVARD, YALE AND PRINCE.
TON MAY NOT BE REP
RESENTED

NEW YORK, Aug. q. = Reports
from various colleges and sport cen
tiers indicate an unsettled state OF
concerned when compared with q
similar period of the season in nor
NAL years. In past autumns the
opening week of August has found
the coaches and managers with the
majority of their preliminary work
finished and the candidates await
ing the call for practice.
In sharp contrast, the present
without football trainers or coach
es and schedules with from two to
five open dates, while many others
have yet to decide whethe. football
will be played or not during tbs
next three months.
This is particularly true of sever
al of the more important eastern
institutions, including Harvard,
Yale and Princeton. While there
are indications that football will be
resumed and these universities rep
resented on the gridiron by elevens,
nothing definite has been announc-
ed by the athletic authorities. If
the game is played by these three it
IS likely that it will be upon a re-
stricted scale.
Those colleges which still support
football and are annual opponents
of Harvard, Princeton and Yale
have prepared their schedules and
unless there should be cancellations
along the line it is doubtful if many
dates could be given the big teams
so late in the season.

TonOpah Boy With British

Clifford Brissell, a 16-year-old
Tonopah youth, is in the field
branch of the British artillery and
is stationed in London. His par
ents in Tonopah only recently have
learned of his whereabouts. He left
home in September with the inten-
ton of joining the American RAINY,
but was rejected because he was
under age. A British recruiting
agency then operating on the coast
accepted him.

SPECIAL COURSES IN COUNTER

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Aug. "a. - Every Brit
ish and American airman nowadays
undergoes a special course of train
ing in "counter-camouflage."
He is told ali the tricks of the
German camouflage artist to de-
ceive the entente airmen and his
eye is carefully trained to penetrate
all the devices of the enemy.
1t is diamond cut diamond all the
time in the contest between the
German camouflage expert and the
allied observers.
Troops may be moved on roads
canopied by camouflage canvas, but
there is camouflage also even in the
business of moving troops in the
open, where the German practices
a simle little deception by varying
the spacing between one rank and
the next. so that in a long column
the observers estimate of the
numbers on the move is hopelessly
inaccurate.
Troops hiding in woods are well
concealed from an airplane observ-
err so long as they are motionless.
But let one man move, and detec-
ton of the whole party may follow.

Health Notice

The attention of all citizens is
called to the urgent necessity of
looking after sanitary conditions of
their premises.
Flies require the greatest atten-
ton.
They carry more disease-germs and
cause more sickness than any other
source of contamination. Flies breed
in filth, chiefly in horse manure. A
single fly viii lay about IL eggs, that
hatch out in ten days. Can you real
lie how fast they multiply?
This is the reason all garbage, ma
nure and vault contents should be re-
moved at least once a week.

kitchen and diningroom.
Box up your surface closet, SO flies
can't get in.
Put manure in a screened pit or
vault.
Keep table refuse and all garbage
in a covered can or key.
Mosquitoes breed only in still or
stagnant water.

The treatment of the Ambassador

The treatment of the Ambassador
and the notes Of President Wilson are
described in detail. The intrigues Of
the Emperor and his Cabinet are
demonstrated in a most convincing
way. That the United States was
eager to avert war and that Germany
was insistent upon carrying on a
slaughter is proved by the presenta-
ton of facts.
Considerable attention is given to
the treatment of English and Russian
civil prisoners and the merciless con-
duct of those in charge of them.
Although this is sufficient to make a
good American thoroughly angry it
is nothing compared with what is
done to poor Belgium. How women
are cruelty abused, and young and
old butchered is made plain beyond
question.
The Lusitania sinking, how it was
planned and executed, is wildly por-
traye d. That the Kaiser was deceiv-
ing the United States and pretending
friendship for this country at the
same time proves that Mr.. Gerard
was alert to the situation, and yet
endeavoring to bring about an hon
orable solution Of the problem.
The narrative, for though it is
founded on truth it is more like a
revolving tale of bloodshed, is pre-
sented with excellent effect. The
Kaiser on his wooden horse, his in
sane thirst for power by the sword
and his domination of those about
him, leaves no doubt as to his brutal
ity and beastiality.
More thrilling than all is the an
swer to the derisive words of the Ger
mans. This is found in pictures of
the soldiers of the Allied Nations and
their indomitable bravery and cour-
age. Pitures of their intrepid fight
ing and acts of daring cause the au-
dience to applaud almost continur
ously.
The closing pictures Of the Ameri
can troops in action and the magnifi-
cent fighting of the Yankee boy who
promised his dad" that he would
"get six Huns" brings forth cheers

OPERA HOUSE TOMORROW.

Ex-Ambassador James W. Gerard's
''My Four Years in Germany" has
found its way to the moving picture
screen at last and when shown at the
Opera House tomorrow will reveal q
combination Of patriotic, historic and
dramatic action that will fully arouse
an audience of large proportions.
The success Of this form of photo.
lplay in emphasizing the intrigue and
barbarism of which the Hun mind is
capable was never more clearly dis
played than in this perturbation of
Mr.. Gerard's well known book.
The introduction of the various
characters of the Kaiser's blood
thirsty official family is done with
rare skill. The actors who portray
the mad monarch, the Crown Prince
and the others whose part in the des-
picable work is we'll known, are men
of skill and accomplishment. To the
stage director there must be accord
ed a wide measure of praise, for the
illusion is perfect and one gives
scarcely a thought to the fact that it
has been staged.
The first incident of Importance is
Mr. Gerard's arrival and the presen-
tation of his credentials. Then comes
what has since been known as the
"Zabern affair."" where a cowardly
cavalry officer strikes down a aged
beggar in the street.
The futile protests of the people
against militarism is shown by the
contempt with which their words are
treated. This is followed by the
speech of a Socialist member of the
Reichstag and the sneering reply of
those who believe in the Kaiser's in.
fallabiity.
The next grip on the audience is
the night when the British fleet is
being banqueted at Kiel and there
comes the news of the assassination
of the Arch-duke. This is preceded
by an order Of the Kaiser that he be
furnished an excuse for war. The
speedy and safe departure of the
British feet brings forth tumult of
applause.
