Some one. with all the wise theories

Learn something lEvery Day.

In their antipathy to England and to
everything English, or supposedly Eng
lIsh, the Germans have apparently un-
dertaken to eliminate from the spoken
and written Teut0nic language OF the
day all words of known or suspected
English origin. There comes at first
hand this episode reported by Prof. F.
Seton Deimer, who was instructor OF
English in the University OF Berlin
when the war broke out and who, from
that time until May % OF this year was
either a civil or an interned prisoner.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
AID ALL IN SERVICE

Christian Science camp welfare
work Is now being carried on In for
ty five army and navy camps in the
United States under direction of the
Christian Science War Relief and
Camp Welfare Committee of The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston. There are at present about
f, seventy men and fifteen women en-
gagged in this work, the women ser
wing mainly as welfare room atten-
dants. .St'
Conducted at first independently,
the camp welfare work has merged
with the war relief work which the
Christian Scientists were doing in for
eign countries before the United
States entered the war. For both
these purposes about one million dol
lars have been raised
The aim of the Christian Science
camp workers is to be as helpful as
possible to all men in the camps,
Scientists, and particularly to give
assistance which may not be available
at the time or place through any of
the other camp welfare agencies. A
feature of this phase of the work is
an arrangement for keeping soldiers
and sailors in close touch with their
relatives.
Cooperating with the committee in
Boston, there is a Christian Science
camp welfare committee I'm each state
The committee In the home state of
n soldier or sailor cooperates by mail
and telegraph with the committee OF
the state I'm which he is camped or
stationed to form direct and cons
tant link between the soldier or sail
or and his relatives. Thereby the
relatives are quickly made acquain-
ted with needs OF their boy In the
service, and he is provided with an
avenue of quick communication with
his home.
This linking OF home and camp,
combined with the personal attention
of the Christian Science workers in
the camps, has frequently been the |
means of changing soldiers outlook !
from one of gloom to one of Joy, |
and not infrequently 1t has proved to
be the means OF relieving relatives
of financial embarrassment, the COM
mittee in the home state making |
loans for use by the relatives until
their boy In camp should be prepared
to forward money to them
The net result, for which the Chris
tian Science committees and camp
workers have received many commen-
dations, has been a noticeable raising
OF the morale of many men in the SER
vice and the development OF a better
feeling at home regarding the partic-
ipation OF heir boy in the service.
The camp workers say there is an
increased willingness among the COM
manding offices and surgeons to al
low Chisian Science treatment for
those men who ask for IL. and many
Christian Science healings have been
recorded. Recently, two requests for
Chistian Science services in hospital
wards were received by camp workers
from medical nurses who had OBJ
served he beneficial effects OF Chris
tian Science treatment.
In or near numerous camps, the
Science committees have
erected substantial buildings, with
4uiet places for reading and writing,
and other buildings are in course of
A light touring car
has been added to the equipment OF

At each camp to be used whenever
and wherever possible in assisting

from Moscow to
 Petrograd-Sailors Stop Theatrical Performance Lenine Is Powerless to Act

STOCKHOLM, Oct. q (Monday).- (By the Associated Press) The clash of authority between the counter revo- lutionary commissions of Russia and the central and local soviet organiZa- tions has become so serious as to show that it is predominant menace to the dictatorship of the prolatariat, accord ing to information brought here by travellers.
 M. Peters, head of the commission to suppress counter revolutions, has be- come more powerful than the national councils of commissaries. Even Nikoiai Lenine, the bolshevilsi premier. was unable to save men he did not wish executed by the Peters commission.
 Red Terror Is Spreading.
 The red terror spread from Moscow, has become a monster which Lenine and other members of the central gov- ernment cannot control.
 The counter revolutionary commits sion's chiefs in the small cities are equally merciless, giving accused per sons no chance to prove their inno- cence. The counter revolutionary com missions try and execute political sus- poets without reference to other gov ernment organizations.
 The national commissary of justice is endeavoring to have the counter revolutionary commission placed under his authority, but they are resisting The red terror is not waged so publicly at Moscow now, the conservative ele- ments evidently realizing the terrible precedent established, and they are en- | deavoring to dislodge the system Simultaneously with the outbreak ir Petrograd, there was trouble in Mos l COW, but its extent is not known Il is attributed to an uprising of the so. cial revolutionists.

BISBEE, Oct. 22.-Raiding several houses in Upper Lowell. a susburb of Bisbee. largely populated by foreign born persons. United States revenue men and deputy marshals confiscated large quantity of home made wine. It was rumored late today several arrests will grow out of the raid in the imme- diate future. At one house, 36 barrels of wine, or more than 1.5o0 gallons. were seized by the officers. Attention was drawn to wine-making in this dis trict by the fact that several carloads of grapes were shipped in during the last few months and, in some instances, men were shown to have had consigned and delivered to them several tons of grapes. Local officers claim there has been considerable ''bootlegging" ubh wine recently, while there are several small distilling plants in this district, for making grape brandy, it Is rum- cred.

 BUILD GIANT NAVY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Congress has been asked by the navy department to authorize a second three-year naval building program to provide 10 addi tional uperdreadnoughts six battle cruisers and 140 smaller vessels at a cost of $500, 900, 900. This was disclosed tonight by Secretary Daniels after his appearance before the house naval committee to explain the appropriation
 This authorization is asked for the next fiscal year and is in addition to the 156 naval vessels comprising the first threeyear building program, author ized in 1916, and the great number of new destroyers and other special types contracted for since the United States entered the war. Work on the first three-year program was delayed by the war, but congress has required that a start must be made on all the vessels before next July 1.
 Including the s600,000, 900 for the threeyear program, Secretary Daniels said the total estimates of the depart ment for ship construction. including armor and armament, amount this year to s972, 100000. Only s200, ,000, 900 of the $500, 900, 900 will be made available next year for construction work on the three year program, in addition to s37, 7,090. .000 asked for completing vessels already used.
 Ten BattIeships; Six Cruisers
 The new program of 156 vessels" said Secretary Daniels, 'prescribes a specific number of battleships and bat tie cruisers only, there being 10 battle ships asked for and six battle cruisers AS regards smaller vessels, although the total number is to be 140, it is simply asked that they be of types al | ready approved and in existence, or of | new types which may develop during the life of the program, the details being left to the discretion of the navy de- partment.
 The new three-year program is a continuation of the policy adopted in | 1916 of increasing the navy, and con- templates its steady upbuilding and 1 improvement. It is in line with the policy adopted by this government and which has met with the entire approval of the American people of building up navy strong enough to meet all re- 1 quirements. This program, if author ized by congress, as l am confident it will be. will give us l6 capital ships that will be the equal of any afloat, at the time they are built. The battleships and battle cruisers authorized in the first three-year program will be un- excelled by those of any other navy
 and the country may rest assured that (Continued on Page Two)

FORMER RECORD
 OF HUN LEADER
 GLARES AT HIM

LONDON, Oct. 22.-lt is recalled by the correspondent of the Times at Berne, that Matthias Erzberger, leader of the German centrists and q member of the government formed to convince the outside world of the peace loving charac- ter of his government, in news paper article written in February, 1915, expressed sentiments quite the contrary to those he now is supposed to entertain. He wrote:
 "The greatest ruthlessness is in reality the greatest humanity. If it should be possible to destroy the whole of London, that would be more humane than to allow one of our fellow countrymen to bleed to death on the battle field, because such a radical cure would lead most speedily to peace.
 "Enqland has stolen from us more than 400 merchant ships. The answer to this should be that for every German merchantman, one English town or village will be destroyed by our airmen."
 The German newspapers are lay ing great stress on the supposed attitude of Herr Erzberser, on the peace question. They refer at length to his plan fora league of nations.
