Church Club Cheers
Denunciation of
Hearst Papers
They Should Be Suppressed
by Government, DR.. Bill
ingsley Tells Brooklynites

A demand that the Hearst newspa-
pers be suppressed by the Federal gov
ernment was made by DR.. ]. J. Billings
ley, Of the National Security League,
in an address before the Mems Club
of the New York Avenue Baptist
Church in Brooklyn last night. The
audience of representative Brooklyn
business men cheered DR.. Billingsleys
attack on the Hearst newspapers.
eff the Federal government will not
suppress the German newspapers and
the Hearst newspapers" said DR.. Bill
ingsley, "then you must follow the
lead of patriotic communities like
Mount Vernon, Poughkeepsie, Hacken-
sack and Summit"
He denounced Morris Hillquit and
other Socialists who, he said, played
Germany's game in shouting for a
premature peace and setting up cry
against war. Hillquit, he said, should
be put in Jail.
No Personal Animus
"l have nothing personally against
Mr.. Hearst" continued DR.. Billingsley.
"But when a man with his newspaper
influence comes out on the side of
Germany and stays there, he deserves
the contempt of every man and he will
get it."
When the applause which greeted
this died down DR.. Billingsley read an
article reprinted in Hearst's "New
York American" from the "Cologne
Gazette" praising Mr. Hearst for COM
ing over to the side of Germany. He
reviewed Mr.. Hearst's relations with
| Bolo Pacha, the German agent recently
executed in France.
"The people should rise up and sup
press the Hearst newspapers" said DR..
, Billingsley. "And before the war ends
they will be suppressed. They conduct
sort of propaganda that this country
has seen. Hearst first tried to get us
into war with Mexico and with Japan
so that Germany could play her game
of trying to dominate the world with
out our interfering. And after we got
into the war Hearst, through his news
papers, tried to keep us from sending
| troops to France, and from sending
even food and supplies to the Allies.
Against Fifty-ffty Americans"
"l'm against any man who is either
pro-German or a ffty-ffty American.
For that reason I'm down on Mr..
Hearst and Mr.. Hillquit, because they
are against the war and a successful
prosecution of the war, and for that
reason Pm against some men in Con-
gress. We have big fight over there,
and for that reason we don't want any
backfire in this country, and that's
another reason why I'm down on
Hearst and Hillquit; and almost for
got to name him-La Toilette. The
Senate should purge itself of La Fol-
lette. We don't want any goose step
ping Congressman here, and we don't
want any goose-stepping editors here
And suggest that we put La Toilette
and Hillquit and Hearst on a ship and
send him over to the Kaiser as a
present"
There was applause at this, and criet
of Lets tar and feather them first!"
II want to see all the fifty-fifty
Americans and pro-Germans. either in.
termed or inferred"
DR.. Billingsley also attacked the
teaching of German in the schools, ane
said that it was through the activities
of the German-American Alliance tha'
the language was forced upon the
schools as an auxiliary to the subsi
died German press.

Yeowomen Must Salute
And So Must Officers

BOSTON, May 16.-Rear Admiral
Spencer S. Wood, commandant of the
first naval district, ruled to-day that
yeowomen must salute naval officers
and that officers must return the salute.
Some OF the yeowomcn had complained
that salutes were not acknowledged by
officers and to-day committee waited
upon Admiral Wood.
Admiral Wood was inclined to think
1t was not necessary for the young
women to salute, but they insisted thas
as regular members of the naval forces
they were required by the regulations
to salute their superiors and that they
were entitled to have the salutes re-
turned.

Shoes and Ships
And Sealing Wax
The Port of Mars

The Port of Mars
We attempt to Danish gloomy thoughts about
this righteous war.
And we train our mind on splendid things
and keep it off Of gore.
While the gallant men in uniform patrol
each thoroughfare,
We omit with Spartan sternness dreams Of
anguish they may bear.
But the thought of needless agony TO one
weak brain recurs,
When we see dental officer in riding boots
and spurs.
For long time we have been wonder
ing what had been missing from May,
and yesterday we hit upon the solution,
when the annual dispatch from the
poultry farming district of Jersey an
nounced that chicken WITH four wings
and four legs had been hatched at Pit
man this year:
A jury in the Supreme Court Of The
Bronx let their minds wander from
damages to beer yesterday, and nearly
broke up the suit that Miss Grace L.
Frear had brought against the Inter
borough, before Justice Weeks inter
vened.
The dispute began while the jurors
were at lunch.
"A glass Of beer with mine," said
Juror No. i.
"You shouldn't drink beer while on
a case," reproved No. 2.
Eyes, he should" intervened No. 3.
II want some my own self"
| An agitated court officer sped to Jus
tice Weeks with the news that the
noises issuing from the jury room
sounded like a debate between Colonel
Rupert and the Rev. Billy Sunday.
"Certainly and positively no beer
was the ultimatum the justice sent
back.
Ten minutes later, parched jury re-
turned verdict for the defendant.
Personal to "Judy," "A. L." and
others: You'll find it in Through the
Looking Glass; by Lewis Carroll:
THE time has come The walrus said,
To talk of many things:
| Of shoes and ships and sealing wax.
| And cabbages and kings"
So thoroughly have the students in a
certain Bronx public school been inoc-
that astonished teachers discovered yes
terday that their charges had taken it
upon themselves to delete every men
tion of Germany from their United
States histories.
One small enemy hater went so far
as to create Won Steuben a French
nobleman, and revise her book into
reading when the French settled in
Pennsylvania"
One of the most powerful Teutonic
forces in the country is going to be
neutralized by dairvmen of the ma
tion, who are about to ask Mr. Hoover
to find new name for limburger
cheese-a task which ought to require
considerable inventive genius, coupled
with great tact.

EAST END HOME
ROBBED YESTERDAY
Thieves Enter Home of William White
on East Second Street and Steal
S7.10-POIlce Have Clues.

Sneak thieves seem to be at work
in the East end of the city according
to reports reaching the police yester-
day.
Sometime during yesterday morn
ing thieves entered the home of Mr..
William White on East Second street
near the Princess Skating Rink and
took $40 in money which had been
placed in the drawer of a sideboard.
Mrs. White was working in the
kitchen and back yard during the
morning and when she went to the
sideboard to get some money she
found the cash she had placed there
had mysterlously disappeared.
1t is supposed that thieves enter
ed the front door of the home while
Mrs. White was in the back yard and
walked through to the dining room
where the money was concealed.
The police are working on the case
and have picked up several slight
clues which will be run down. This
is supposed to be the work of youngs-
ters

PLAN RECEPTION
FOR THE "CONCRETE"
Everyone Is Urged to See the First
Concrete Boat to Come Down the
Ohio River on Next Sunday.

Arrangements are being made for
the reception here of the first con-
crete boat to travel on the Ohio river
On next Sunday.
Mayor Thomas NJ Russell has been
officially notified of the boats coming
to Maysville and he has appointed
committee of our prominent business
men as reception committee. So far
there has been no special program ar
ranged but the Mayor and all those
interested in the coming of the Con
crete" are anxious that a large num-
Der of people visit the boat while it
is anchored in the local harbor
In some river cities where there is
Navy Recruiting Office, there has
been a special program arranged but
| as there is no Navy Station here this
cannot be done in Maysville.
The little boat is not going to be so
very wonderful in itself but all Will
want to see it in order to say that they
saw the first concrete boat to go down
the Ohio for it is the opinion of most
river men that it will not be very long
before concrete boats on all rivers
will be very common.

SELLS MOTHERS BUGGY
Father of Lad Who Ran Away to Join
the COlOrs Searches Here For
Vehicle He Sold.

Mr.. Charles Wilson, of the Sardis
neighborhood, was in the city yes
terday on the search of buggy which
he claims belonged to his wife and
was taken away from his home by his
son some time ago.
Mr.. Wilson says that the boy, who
is not yet Is years of age, ran away
from home and came to Maysville to
join the army. He is said to have
driven to Maysville in his mothers
buggy and when he got here he sold
the buggy to some one for $35 and
then enlisted in the service.
The Sardis farmer asked the assist
ance of Sheriff Galbraith in locating
the buggy and said that he would
gladly refund the price the boy re-
ceived for the buggy if he could get
it back again. He did not know to
whom the boy had sold the buggy bui
another boy who came to Maysville
with his son told him that the buggy
was sold for $35.
The father was anxious to get the
boy returned to his home and out o.
the army but was not willing for {
warrant to be issued for him to re
turn him.

CHANGE MADE
IN ORDERS
BY COCHRAN
Food Administrator Make Changes In
Flour Order in Reference to Farm
ers Raising Their Own Wheat.


County Food Administrator Coch-
ran yesterday issued the following Of
fetal bulletin for the public:
Referring to bulletin issued from
this office June 30th, 1915 being Bull
letin No. 55, last paragraph, with ref
erence to farmers raising their own
wheat:
A change has been made in this rul-
ing. Farmers are permitted a supply
of -four from the milling or exchange
of their own wheat so as to make
their stock of flour on hand of twelve
pounds per month for each member of
the household or establishment with
out being required to take any sub
stitutes, but,
For the present farmers must not
take flour in excess of the supply
needed on the above basis, to last
them until October list, 1918.
Before October LIST, the amount of
the new crop will be definitely known,
and a possible change may then be
advisable. This also depends upon
Mr.. Hoover's report of the foreign sit
uation.
Therefore, the rule to govern mil
lers as to exchange and deposit mill
ing, will read as follows:
Rule 30. When farmer brings
to the mill wheat grown by him, the
miller may deliver to him, on toll
or exchange basis a sufficient amount
of -four, without substitutes, to pro-
vide IL pounds per month for each
person in his household or establish
ment until October list, 1918:
Provided, however, that the farm
err signs the following certificate, and
that the miller has reasonable cause
to believe the truth thereof:
(Place) ...... (date) ........I...
hereby certify that the wheat this day
delivered by me to the mill of......
at. was grown by me on my
farm; that the amount of -four to be
delivered TO me, together with that
already on hand. will not give me a
supply more than sufficient to meet
the requirements of my household OF
establishment under the regulations
of the United States Food Administra-
ton. and that | will not sell, lend OF
deliver such flour to anyone. nor per-
nit such -four to be used for any pur-
poses except human consumption in
my household or establishment,
Signature ..................
| AdresS ...............,,
Number in household or establish
ment.
You will note that the principal
change in this ruling is allowing this
amount of -four to be delivered to the
farmer without substitutes, this re-
lieving a difficult situation in the
country districts.
| 1t does not affect the substitute rule
now in force of fifty-fifty, or the guam
tity rules now in force of six pounds
per month per person in the family or
establishment, as to any other pur-
chasers except those farmers who
bring in their homegrown 1918
wheat.
If wheat is delivered to dealer sub
stitute words business house" for
mill" in above certificate.
