Amsterdam, Sept. IA decree
signed by General Won Linsjngen,
commandant of the :. Brandenburg
province, according TO the Cologne
volks Zeitung, places the city of Ber-
lin and the province of Brandenburg
under "the law relating to state OF
siege. which provides for a fine, or I'M
prisonment for persons inventing or
circulatin untrue. rumors calculated
to disquiet the populace."
A notice accompanying the decree
calls attention to the circulation of
frivolous and sometimes 'malevolent
and traitorous gossip, .exaggerating
the transitory successes of the enemy
and casting doubt upon Germany's
power for an economic resistance and
depreciating the wonderful achieve
ments Of the German troops who, it
declares, are victoriously withstand
ing the emmy.
Gen. Won Linsingen expresses the
hope that this admonition will suf-
fee and that it will not be necessary
to enforce the decree. The Volks Zel.
tung adds that similar DEGREES have
been issued in Breslau, and other
cities all Immediately.

munity, and he will be greatly missed
We hope that success may attend him
in whatever he undertakes.
We were pleased to have call last
Friday from Mr.. Frank S. Harrison,
manager of the Halltown straw board
mill. Mr.. Harrison has been active in
war work in the county and is especially
proud that in the last campaign for

For Food Conservation.

County Food Administrator J. d
Muldoon attended a conference OF the
administrators of the State in Wheel
ing last Saturday, at which State FooG
Administrator E. W. Oglebay presided
and G. H. Powell, special representative
of Mr.. Hoover, presented the food pro
gram for the next year, together with
the reasons for 1T. Delegates were
present from each count, in the State
and the conference was held in the as.
sembly room Of the Windsor Hotel and
at the spacious home of Col. Oglebay
Washington Farm.
President Wilson has designated the
week of December 81 as World Relief
Week, during which the new message
of Mr.. Hoover will be presented to the
people of the nation with the hope tina
the new program will receive the same
hearty acceptance as all former pro-
grams. The signing Of the armlstlce on
November | increased the number oil
mouths to feed from l20,0OOOOO to 22O,-
100000, and this brought TO this nation
increased responsibility. Some OF our
closest allies are more in need OF food
than ever before, others are just about
able to care for themselves. With al
this comes the need of quoting the
Central Powers, not so much for hu,
manity's sake but more that the dreaded
monster, Socialism, which has showed
its head in nearly every part OF the
world, may be checked Hunger is the
birthplace of anarchy and the red Haf
and the responsibility becomes ours t.
see that for political reasons we shoule
relieve this hunger. There is to be ne
compelling restrictions, but, knowing
the truth, Mr.. Hoover believes that the
American people will respond.
