FEAR ENEMY POISON PLOT
Booklets "Made in Germany" Cause
FAR Scare in Public School at
Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, L. 1.-The discovery
that they were made in Germany"
caused B. e. Whitaker, principal OF
the public school, to order pupils to
throw away booklets which had been
given to them by a stranger. Samples
are to be analyzed, as it is believed
the booklets may secrete germs Of dis
ease. u
Several days esqq.a.. stranger came
here .a2a"Yave the booklets to many
school boys and girls. He said the
booklets had pictures of prominent
men which would appear by rubbing
the scrapings Of a pencil on a page
with the finger.
Mr.. Whitaker got one of them, and
discovered on the last page the words,
MADE In Gerr0ny." He collected as
many of tn IS as he could and In
structed pupils to throw the others
away.
81 have sent these books to New
York for analysis" said Mr.. Whitaker.
The children TO get the pictures of
President Wilson and Mr.. Roosevelt
had to rub their fingers over the page
Of the book. Naturally, the children
afterwards put their fingers in their
mouths, and as there is much Illness
among pupils here / decided to send
the booklets for examination"

yANK is ''HIGH-BROW'
Censor Says Letters Home Show
Intelligence of Soldier.
Mlsslves 20 Mothers Make Light OF
Wounds, and Say They're All
Going to Berlin.

Paris.-"To get a good idea of the
high intelligence of the average Amer
lean soldier, one should have a job Of
c~ensoring letters" said an American
officer, who had just been released
from a front hospital where both pri-
Yates and officers were cared for.
while recovering from my wound"
he continued, 81 used to pass away
the time acting as temporary censor
for the wounded, and also for part Of
the hospital personnel.
"And the letters that those chaps
wrote were wonderful. Especially the
letters to their mothers. They were
diplomatic, that's all. Most of the
letters the wounded wrote would
start off with some commonplace
comment on the weather or the
war and then the writer would cas-
ually mention that he had been
wounded. But the next sentence in
variably would be something like this:
Don't. worry a bit, mother, about
me. I'm getting along fine; it's only
a slight wound and I'm getting fat on
hospital food. Everyone treats me
great, the nurses and the doctors are
fine. and I'll be out in a jify.'
Another thing that struck me
about those letters was that almost
all Of them were correct grammati-
cally. Several times the writer's would
speak of books they were reading. I'll
confess l have never read such deep
matters as they were taking up.
"And patriotism had its part in every
letter, always a line about the war end
ing with the Americans on top. They
were all going to Berlin, and going
as conquerors, too-those chaps"

HOW TO MAKE WET TOWN DRY
Kansas Calls on McAdoo for HeIp
Against Missouri and
Gets IL.

Pittsburg, Kan.-When In doubt
about how to close a booze town In a
wet state, next to a dry town, call
upon the railroad administration.
This is the advice Of country off,
Gals here.
Just across the Missouri line for
years the Missouri Pacific has had a
station at Minden, at which beer and
booze, in carload let's, have been un-
loaded and which later found It's way
into the mining camps on the Kansas
side. All efforts to stop the practice
failed.
Recently County Attorney Fl. w.
Timmonds of Barton county, Missouri,
asked Director General McAdoo's
help. An order was issued closing the
Missouri Pacific station in Minden and
all freight is sent via the Frisco, which
has to switch from this side.
Result, booze in the mining camps
is becoming scarce.

YANkS NOT LENIENT

ing With Hun.
American Boy Avenges Death of His
Chum Even to Hun Monu-
ment.

London.-If anyone believes the
Yanks are inclined to be lenient to-
ward the Huns he needs only to take
a journey among the hospitals and get
the spirit of the boys who have been
through the mill. They tell some pref
ty Characteristic stories in the hos
pitfalls.
One of the officers, when asked
what was the general feeling of the
boys, said:
"All you have to do is to ask n
or two of them to find out"
This story is told by one of the Off
GERS and vouched for:
1--WE were going over. The first
blast of the machae guns got US pref
ty well. Then Jerry started over.
We met. In the move forward one of
our boys was shot by a German rifle
man. The boys chum, standing close
to me, saw the German who shot the
first boy. We then rushed. The Ger
mans began dropping to their knees
and calling Kamerad.' This boy,
with his chum lying on the ground,
dashed up to the German who had
shot him. The Hun cried for mercy.
He was on his knees.
"'Kamerad!' repeated the Yank.
You get no mercy from me. I'm go
ing to run this bayonet through you,
turn you on your back, and then put
your helmet on the gun-stock. That's
the only monument you'll get, you
dirty - Hun
1.-THE German pleaded for mercy
again, while the boy held the bayonet
against him.
"Then there was a seconds suspense.
Then came the grunt as the bayonet
went home and the Hun was bowled
over on his back. Then the boy said
to me:
Lieutenant, if l lose this gun will
it be charged up against me?"
"'Not a -- bit, go ahead, told
him.
"Then he showed the gun until the
muZzle went through the Germans
chest, the bayonet deep into the
ground. Then he calmly took the
Huns helmet, placed it on top of the
gun and said:

NOT DRAMA, But
The REAL THING
Mars Stages Strange Situations
Produced by Open Fighting
at Front.
REUNION IN FRENCH HOME
officer Returns After Four Years Of
Hun Occupation to Wife and to
Little Girl He Has Never
Seen.

Mons.-The open warfare which
was conducted by the allied forces In
Flanders over long stretches of inhab-
tied territory along the northern bat
tlefront produced strange situations
which were a far reach from the trench
fighting, which marked the greater
part of the war
The correspondent was motoring
along the highway leading to the re-
Gently freed city Of Denain when a
French officer beside the road asked
for a ride. AS soon as the car started
he leaned out and began to inspect the
surroundings eagerly. Occasionally he
would wave to civilians and shout
greetings.
Asked If he lived in the vicinity, the
officer said that his home was In De-
main, where four years ago he left his
wife to join the colors. Just after his
departure his first child, a daughter,
was born. Then came the German oc-
cupation, cutting off his loved ones.
Now he was going back after these
long years to his wife and the baby he
had never seen.
He was vlsibly wrought up to the
highest pitch, as well he might be. IT
was quite possible he might find his
family dead or gone and his home In
ruins.
Entering the city the officer directed
the correspondent toward his home,
tbrouub StraatS cboufnO tho orr,aI
marks of the invaders hate. Turning
into his street, the first house was in
ruins. He gave a nervous start, but
said nothing. A few doors farther on
vas his home, and the car stopped
across the street from it. The officer
climbed out slowly and with an effort,
his eyes fixed on the place.
Afraid of Her Father.
There were no signs of life. The
windows were suffered and on the
door was a sign showing that German
officers had been living there. Crossing
the street, the officer pulled the bell
with shaking hand. No one answered.
He backed away like a man In a trance
and leaned against the car, trembling.
Suddenly the door opened and an
aged servant appeared in an
swer to the bell. She was leading by
the hand a beautiful baby girl with a
wealth of golden curls. The officer
took one step toward the child and
then halted. He was a stranger to his
own flesh and blood.
The child hid behind the skirts of
the nurse, peering out in fright. I'm
doubtedly her mother had told her
many times during the Boche occupa-
ton that men In Uniform were bad
and that she must avoid them.
The horizon blue uniform of France
meant nothing to this tot. The half
blind eyes of the old nurse had recog-
] nized her master, and she held out her
hands to him, repeating, Monsieur +!
Monsieur I" in ecstasy. He crossed the
road and grasped her hands, but the
baby drew back still farther.
A door opened at the end of a long
hall and a comedy young matron came
through to see what vas going on.
When half way down the hall she
caught sight of her husband. She
stopped, her hand few to her breast,
and she swayed for a second as though
about to fall. With a sobbing cry Of
joy she hurled herself into his drms.

TWO CITED FOR BOARDING.
A. G. Edward. Donate. $50 to Re,

A. G. Edwards Donates $50 to Red
Cross For Having Too Much Flour.
A. G. Edwards, 80 North Fourth
street. Saturday paid $50 to the Red
Cross after a hearing before the local
food administration on charge of
boarding -four. Painters who recently
were painting the Edwards home re-
ported the excess of flour.
Mr.. Edwards made no denial of the
charge and took the administrators to
his home. He had on hand seventy
nine pounds, part of a consignment
he secured when he sold general stock
at Vancleve which he had taken on a
trade. AS there are only two members
of the family twelve pounds Of the flour
were permitted to remain in the home.
The excess was taken by the admin
istration, and it's value at wholesale
price will be returned to Mr.. Edwards.
!. Anderson, a drayman of Clemens,
with nine in his family, was cited to
appear before the administration on a
charge of sugar boarding during the
month of July. He was entitled to
twenty-seven pounds during the month
but it was shown that he had bought a
total of forty-five pounds in two pound
lots from different dealers. Mr.. An
derson confessed to the purchase, but
as he had opened his home to daugh-
ter whose husband is in the navy, the
administration imposed no fine, but in
stead took Anderson's pledge not only
| to obey the food rules in the future, but
to lend every assistance within his
power to the enforcement of the rules

In tho District Court,

Property st 202 North Fourteenth
street, involved in the case Of Mrs.
Mary A. Swander VS.. Perry E. Denney.
executor Of the estate Of w. H. Dem
ney was decreed by Judge Willett
this forenoon to be tho property Of
the executor who is also the sole
heir. The court dismissed Mrs. Swan
ders petition, by which she sought to
acquire title to the property, for want Of
equity, and ,lecreed that the heir is
owner Of the property. The ruling
also holds that Mrs. SWander owes the
estate $500 for rent for the property
and Judgment for that amount was
entered. Mrs Swander was ordered to
surrender possession Of the property
in thirty days.
The claim Of Mrs. Swander waA
based on a testamentary contract
made by Denney, who was member
of the soldiers home, in 1911. By this
contract DeImey conveyed the prop
erty to Mrs Swander in trust for the
latter's daughter. The consideration
was that Denney should make his
homo with Mr.. and Mrs. Swander and
DO cared for by them until his death,
which took place in 1914. The case
was submitted more than year ago.
