 The committee on public informa- tion in Washington appeals to the in telligence of the world The American secret service is a fine organization and has some splendid men in 1t. They managed to get hold of most valuable documents which were pub lished at exactly the right time.
 America is very much alive to the value of news in propaganda, and the right kind of news. She hasn't been obsessed, like the older countries in Europe, with secrecy. The soldier professional soldier-is always inclin- ed to make a mystery of his work It is not always easy to get a response from him to an intelligent question the answer of which may be Of no value to the enemy but may be Of great value to the people
 Names Are Essential.
 "A war of nations cant be an anon ymous war. The people must be taken into the confidence Of their govern ment. They want to know something of the organization of their armies and the general who commands them
 Take for example the Official Gag ette of the United States which on July 18th told of the organization of the American army and gave the names of the commanding generals.
 That's common sense
 America has just established pro paganda agencies in all allied and neutral countries Their policy is the same as in America There is no jealousy. They put all their interests in the common stock"
 Colonel Buchan is reluctant to boast of his own Country's efforts at propa- ganda. But German newspapers re- gently have paid it the highest com pliment in concentrating campaign of hate" against Lord Northcliffe, for what they term Great Britain's "pernicious' propaganda.

PROPAGANDA OF HUN BEARS
 LITE FRUIT

LONDON, Sept. T. (by maiD. - Boastfulness and lack of understand ing are responsible for the failure of Germany's huge propaganda efforts.
 After forty years of experience in this work. Germany can show but little fruits for it's labor.
 On the other hand. America, with a record of less than four years, can credit itself with being the most sue cessful of all the belligerents in the spreading of propaganda.
 Colonel John Buchan. director of intelligence of the British ministry of information, today said the German propaganda is "on the whole ineffeC- tive" and declared that when history comes to decide which country was the most successful in it's propaganda campaign, it won't be Germany-it will be America"
 We here have had occasion to study the extraordinary merits of the Ger man machine which Germans had been building for forty years" said Colonel Buchan. "On the whole it's product

has been rather ineffective because of it's lack of psychological acumen.
 The Hun boasts too much and un- derestimates the people against whom his campaign is directed-as, for in stance, America.
 He makes queer slips.
 At the beginning of the war the Kaiser sent an address to the Moham. medan chiefs of India, in which he pointed out that he-the Kaiser-was their real friend The address was elaborately gotten up. engrossed on the finest vellum. But it was bound in pigskin.
 Here was an instance of the Huns tendency to overlook important de. tails, for the pig is an animal the Mo hammedans regard with horror.
 Huns Waste Their Cash.
 The propaganda scheme of the Germans was most elaborate. but it has been overdone. They have spent at least $75.000 O0O annually since the war began, some of which went to produce most absurd publications. Al. so, they printed too many. The scheme might be described as 'kolossar but stupid.
 American propaganda has been conducted with rare instinct for publicity.
 Take the American Red Cross in Italy, France and Russia, as well as the work of the Y M. C. A. This was practical propaganda. In tending the sick and wounded the American Red Cross proved America's sympathy to

IT IS HARD
 TO PRAY AS
 SHELLS BURST

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 1.-(by maiD .-"Thcy are developing nerves of iron over here, and nothing scares them-that is, nothing the Germans can do"
 It was an army chaplain who said it, man the boys all loved and ad- mred for his courage and devotion under fire. The chaplain told d little story to illustrate his statement.
 This chaplain carries folding field altar. which he sets up wherever he finds q cave and holds services among the men where he finds them His services are popular. it goes without saying
 While saying prayers during one of these services in a cellar close to the trenches, German bombradment broke loose. One shell exploded just outside the cellar. making n terrific noise. But one man broke the silence of the prayer inside the cellar-this CHdp cOulu not resist an 70 Christi
 The rest kept their heads bowed and the chaplain finished his prayer and ended the service. The man who had made the exclamation fingered after the others had gone. and with hhis head hanging in shame ap- preached the chaplain.
 I'm sorry, Father" he said, but I forgot myself, and just couldn't hold fl in. guess I'm q baby compared to the rest of the fellows Some time I'll learn to be brave in silence"
 "lt was one of those times when | couldn't say anything explained the chhaplain. 50 just shook hands with him and felt honored to do it"

Miles of Butterflies Do Much Damage
 in Yakima Valley

YAKIMA, Wash. Oct 3.-Swauk valley in Kittitas county recently has been visited by vast swarm of but terfiics. The swarm was described by valley residents as from three to four miles in width and fifteen miles long.
 The butterflies are believed to be the product of the caterpillar test which last summer destroyed vegeta- tion over large area in the vicinity of Dumping lake. A similar swarm was observed recently in the Tampico region.

FOR 40 GAS MASKS

The Yanks win be supplied with
forty gas masks by the Girl Scouts OF
the District at least
The Girl Scouts are in race with
every big American city for the col
lection of peach pits and nuts for use
in the manufacture Of gas masks.
They have collected 5000 peach pits,
enough to make forty gas masks.
Chief among these collectors is
Mrs. Henry T. Ralney, wife OF the
CONGRESSMAN from Illinois Mrs.
RAiney resides ut 3oo1 Sixteenth street
northwest and IL known as Wash
ington's first farmerette." She Is cap
tain of troop Z Of Girl Scouts. Mrs.
Rainey has gathered 5000 peach pits
for gas masks. setting an example to
the Girl Scouts whom she is leading
in the peach-pit drive.
Mrs. Rainey is probably the nrst
woman of the official set to actively
enter the campaign. For the past
two weeks Mrs. Rafney could be
found in her kitchen, white aproned,
standing over a bowl, extracting pits
from the fruits she preserved
Drop pits into the barrels draped
in red, white and blue that are sta
toned at street corners" said Mrs
Rainey in an appeal today for those
who have not yet saved any.

SUFFRAGE VOTE
WILL Be CLOSE

Two predictions on the outcome of
the struggle over the Federal suf-
frage amendment were in circulation
at the Capitol today. Senators were
told by "anti" lobbyists that the
amendment is certain to be defeated.
They said they had thirty-six mem
bers pledged to vote against It Only
thirty-two negative votes are needed
TO defeat the amendment IL the full
membership OF the Senate is present
Suffragists, on the other hand, were
giving circulation to a prediction by
Senator Jones OF Washington. who
has taken an active part in lining
up his colleagues for the amendment,
that the amendment is certain to
pass. Jones said, however. that there
would be few votes to spare. He
counted several Senators for the
amendment who never have given
public statements on their suffrage
views.
One argument counted upon TO
bring doubtful Senators into line is
that the amendment has been kick
ing around the Senate long enough"
and IL ought to be settled one way
or another

Thousands OF lives were lost IN this

Glass Decides Nations Fate
The importance OF optical glass in
modern warfare is illustrated By the
following incident concerning the Eu-

army officer. The world was aston
ished at the ease with which the Hu-
manian army was defeated. says this
officer. and not until iong afterWard
was the real cause actually known.
u seems that before Rumania Joined
the allies il had been i'm the habit of
importing many things from Germa ny
even German ordnance from the
Krupp works at Essen. And. curious
IS enough. these German guns refused
to work when turned against the Ger
mans invading the Dobrudja-
It was really quite a simple me
chanical defect fin the guns. which
should have been detected by the Ru-
manian artillery officers. but untor-
tuuately it wasn't-at least. not until
too late. Then IL was discovered that
the delicate levelinE Instruments
were filled with plain water instead
of the salt solution which resists
freezing atmosphere. Tn the cold
mountain Businesses OF Rumania these
little glass tubes promptly burst and
the guns were practically useless.
Had Rumania allied itself with the
central powers instead OF with the
allies. this little discrepancy would
have been discovered in time and cor
rected. With their usual foresight.
