FEAR ENEMY POISON PLOT
Booklets "Made in Germany" Cause
War 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 stranger. Samples
are to be analyzed, as 1t is believed
the booklets may secrete germs Of dis
ease.
Several days ago stranger came
here and gave 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 Germany" He collected as
many Of the books as he could and In
structed pupils to throw the others
away.
II 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 I decided to send
the booklets for examination"

MONEY BURNS POCKETS
Yankee Soldiers AStound French
by Their Spending.
Buy Everything in Sight and Overlook
Nothing-SouVenlrs Are Sent
Home.

Paris.-No wonder that American
soldiers astound the French with their
money-spending proclivity. Shops
stocked sufficiently In the ordinary
course Of events to last six months
are frequently cleaned out in a day
when the Yankees arrive. The Amer
leans just simply buy everything In
sight.
A bunch Of troops just arriving from
the long journey overseas, or perhaps
having been shunted around a month
or so after landing, reach permanent
camp and are paid off. Frequently
they haven't had pay day in two or
three months.
Then with their pockets full of the
strange francs they go to town and
make up for lost time. They overlook
nothing from a Swiss watch to an arm
full Of souvenirs to send back home.
But with all the spending and buy
ing it is remarkable that there are so
few cases of drunkenness. The wine
shops are open to the Americans at
certain hours, generally from s 80 to
$3.50 p. m. But the average American
does not like French wine, at least
not at first. French beer has a fiat,
weak taste which does not appeal at
all to Americans. There is no whis-
ky, and even were it available the
Americans would not be allowed to
purchase 1t. Cognac is the nearest ap-
proach to whisky and this must be
obtained by stealth-sort Of a boot
Logging process.
Many thousands of American SOL
diers, disgusted with the light wines
and beers which only' they may pro-
cure, have foresworn booze entirely,
gone on the "water wagon" for keeps
and will be in good trim for the ma
tion-wide prohibition they will face
when they return to the United States.

roundings of military life.

Besides being home, theater,
church, library and sports field to the
men in khaki, the little wooden huts
are taking on practical money trans
actions for the soldier, and are post
office, express firm and bank. The
sum of $267O76 was sent out of
camp in money orders written for the
men by Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries in
the last year most of it going back
home.
While the organization has not lost
its religious aspect and finds that
the men welcome Bible classes and
religious services, the main purpose
of tie work at Camp Sherman is to
give a real home to the 10000 men
in khaki. New Testaments are
priced by Ohio fighters, however, and
Al, f64 of them were given free to
soldiers who requested them.

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

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
cials here.
Just across the Missouri line for
years the Missouri Pacific has had a
station at Minden, at which beer and
booze, In carload lots, have been I'M
loaded and which later found Its way
into the mining camps on the Kansas
side. All efforts to stop the practice
failed.
Recently County Attorney 81. 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.

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

and calling 'Kamerad,' This boy,

dashed up to the German who had
shot him. The Hun cried for mercy.
He was on his knees.

against him.
"Then there was a seconds suspense.

to me:
