German Agent Naboad.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb. 49,
Government agents believe today that
in the arrest Of Paul Frederick Will
helm Won bismarck, one of Germany
most potent agents is in custody and
that along with his Incarceration pro-
German propaganda of nationwide pro-
portion had been baked
Won bismarck, known under a doz-
en- aliases in as many important cities
of the United States, was arrested by
federal operatives Sunday under the
name of Paul Fredk Elerts. Although
definite evidence against the man will
not be given out it is intimate he was
sent here by the Wilhelmstrasse in
1913, reported to the German consul in
New York and at once took up his
campaign of espionage and sabotage
under the name of Elerts. Wherever
he has gone, strikes, disorders and Ger
man thought have sprung up, it is de-
clared.
Arriving here today with his young
wife, whom he married October 4,
1914, E1erts registered as an enemy
alien and this led to his arrest.

Slaughter OF Hens at This Season of
Year 10 Considered Wasteful by
Federal Food Admin.
istrators.
COOPERATION is ASKED
Dealers IN Poultry and Eggs Are Asked
to Conform to Program
Arranged by Admins
tration.

County food administrators have
received word from j. f. Deems, fed
erai food administrator at Burlington
IN regard to the saving of hens in
order to conserve the supply Of poul
try and eggs. The federal admins
traitors hold that to slaughter hens
at this time Is as wasteful as slaugh.
tering fresh milk cows for beef. Here
is the letter from the administrat,o ION
| The department of agriculture is
now opening campaign urging farm
ers to refrain from selling hens from
the first Of February to the first of
May, and at the time requesting buy
fers to refrain from buying hens dur.
| ing that time.
| The poultry and egg section of the
United States food administration
feels that this is highly desirable
move and requests your hearty CO.
| operation in seeing that the best pos
sIble results are secured.
Every hen which Is sold before the
first OF May represents food loss to
the nation of about thirty eggs. The
total loss of eggs represented by the
customary selling OF !. hens between
the first Of February and the first OF
May amounts to about 150,O00,000
eggs. The value Of these eggs is
about 80 per cent OF what the hen is
actually worth, so that this program
does not entail a loss to the farmer,
but an actual gain.
Undoubtedly this program will
create a great many protests from
people who state that for every
pound of poultry not consumed a
correspond ding pound of beef or other
meats will be used. The food adj
ministration feels, however, that the
killing of hens just before and dur
ing the heavy spring lay is waste
full practice, just as wasteful as the
killing OF fresh milk cows for beef,
and that by enforcing this program;
prices will be kept within reason,
which could not otherwise be DONE
We hope that you will give full
publicity to this program, seeing par
ticularIy that it reaches the produc-
ers and dealers.
The following telegram sent today
to all exchanges and associations af-
fected. The following rule has been
adopted in connection with special
rules and regulations governing deal
ers in poultry. and eggs, rule IA.
The licensee shall not between Feb
ruary IL, 1918, and April so, 1913,
purchase, ship, sell or negotiate the
sale of any live or freshly killed
hens or bullets. Provided, however,
that this shall not prevent the pur-
chase, shipments, or sale between
February 18th and February 23d.
1918, of hens or pullets, which were
either killed or shipped prior to
Eabruary II 1918 to markets for
sale as food, and provided further
that nothing in this rule shall pre-
vent the purchase, shipment, or sails
OF live hens or pullets for egg pro-
duction purposes" Effective Feb
ruslry IL, 1918.
