vON HINDENBURG AGAIN
 IS REPORTED DEAD
Reported to Have Died of Congestion of the Brain After Heated Argu-
 ments With Kaiser

Amsterdam, July 13.-Field Marsh al von Hindenburg is dead, according to La Nouvelles, Hague newspaper.
 He is reported to have had serious difference with the kaiser over the German offensive toward Paris. and later died of congestion of the brain.
 For the last six months, several ru- mors of von Hindenburg's death have been circulated. A dispatch from The Hague Friday quoted Dutch travel CT from Germany as saying that Gen eral Ludendorff, first quartermaster general, had taken over Field Marshal von Hindenburg's duties.
 Won Hindenburg is credited with evolving tn effective campaign in east Russia, resulting in the serious de- feat of Tunnenburg, for which he was made field marshal He was appoint ed chief general of staff in 1916, and was TO years of age.
 The violent interview between vor Hindenburg and the kaiser occurred on May 16, and it was followed by ar appoplectic stroke, ultimately causing Hindenburg's death, according to the reports.

U--------------- KITCHEN AND TABLE REFUSE USED IN MAKING EXPLOSIVES
One Ton of Such Garbage Furnishes Enough Glycerine to Make 14 of
 the 75-millimeter Shells.

Philadelphia, July 12.-Save the un- edible scraps from the tables for mak- ing explosive charges for 75-millime- ter guns.
 The food administration here has issued this appeal to housewives for increased efficiency. Kitchen and table refuse, it is urged, should be kept in a seperate container from other house refuse and free from foreign matter.
 Statistics furnished by the food ad- ministration show that one ton of gar bage supplies glycerine to make the explosive charge for fourteen 75-mill- meter shells, enough fatty acid" to manufacture 75 pounds of soap, fer tilizer to grow eight bushels of wheat and scores of other materials essen tial in the manufacture of munitions
 The garbage wasted in 24 large cities not utilizing garbage is esti. mated to equal about 4,500,000 pounds of nitro-glycerine in year, or about S5, 5,000,00O.

 The whole attack was rehearsed and rehearsed until we heartily cursed the one who had conceived the Idea. $ The trenches were named according to a system which made 1t very simple for Tommy to find. even in the dark, any point in the German lines.
 These imitation trenches, or trench models, were we'll guarded from obser- yatIon by numerous allied planes which constantly circled above them. No German airplane could approach within observation distance. A re- stricted area was maintained and no civilian was allowed within three miles, so we felt sure that We had q great surprise in store for Fritz.
 When we took over the front line we received an awful shock. The Germans displayed signboards over the top of their trench showing the names that we had called their trenches. The signs read Fair" 1" Tact" "Fate," and Fancy" and so
