All three undertakings are housed
in the same quarters. The exploits of
the German army are graphically i'll
Illustrated by word, by picture and
cinema films. Gigantic maps, with
events kept up almost to the hour,
show the pro gross of the German
armies. The newest bulletins are dis
played. Visitors are loaded with
pamphlets and books, some of them
of such caracter that they form per-
manent additions to a reference Ii

does some individual act of kindness
a cinema operator is there to record
it and the Swedish patrons of the
Polar Star have opportunity to admire
it.
Two large printing firms turn out
vast quantities of pamphlets, with

The German legation has trained
Journalists on it's staff, and Baron
Lucius the minister, is himself a keen,
wide-awake individual, fully alive
to the value of printers ink and alert
to seize every opportunity to make
propaganda or to explain anything that
needs explanation. AS an instance OF
this may be cited the fact that, some
weeks ago, when the morning papers
published TrOtzky's expose of Ger
many's attitude toward the Aland
Islands, the noon papers of the same
day contained a column-long article
by Baron Lucius, full of clever casuis-
try and forming, for the uncritical
reader, a complete answer to Trotzky.

IN THE LAND O.
COMMON SENSE
Says it is suicide to cut corns,
and tells how they lift
right out

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me quarter of an
ounce of freezone.' This will cost
very little but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn from ones
feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, can be lift
ed out with the fingers without PAIN
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that while freezone is
sticky it dries in a moment, and
seems to simply shrivel up the corn
without inf1aming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin
Don't let father die from infection
or lockjaw from whiting at his
corns, but cut this out and make him
try it.

HUN PROP AGANDA IN
SCANDINAVIAN Land
Camera and Press FaVoring Is
Ever Ready-No Competition

Correspondence of The Associated Press.D
Stockholm, April 17.-German pro-
paganda in Sweden and other Scandi-
aAavian nations no longer is 1l-directed
or inefficient, in the opinion of the
statesmen of the countries in which
it operates. On the contrary, it chal-
lenges even unwilling admiration in
Sweden for its completeness and eff
fectiveness.
In the early days of the war the
Entente powers and America ex-
tracted considerable amusement from
German methods of propaganda for
the reason that they seemed to be
based on almost absolute failure to
understand the psychology of the nom
Sermanic peoples.
Undeterred by earlier failures the
Germans have kept at work here and
have organized a system of prOganda
which is regarded as tireless, inelli-
gent and, without a doubt, effective.
The organization centers around
:hree undertakings, all organized by
Germans but, in accordance with
Swedish law, directed by Swedes:

Lucius' relations to the

instances. Lucius relations to the
press-and not merely to the pro-
German preSS-are most friendly,
and he is always sure of a sympathe-
tic hearing, whether the other party
is in agreement with him or not.
TO dam this flood of propaganda the
allied powers offer comparatively
little. Since America enetred the war
an effort has been made from WASH
ington to secure adequate publication
in Sweden Of important speeches by
President Wilson and other leaders,
and reports Of important decisions Of
different bodies, progress or recruiting
etc. These efforts, and particularly as
regards speeches, are doomed to
failure by the fact that the speeches
are cabled too late
President Wilson's speeches have
reached Sweden from two to four days
after summaries Of them had been re-
ceived here. No Swedish editor, after
having used a 50O-word summary will.
half a week later, devote much space
to the text of the same speech.

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $200,000,O00 toward the cost of
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. Incidentally the
British bread Is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
homo grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets Of tho world at pre-
vailing prices. This Is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf Of four pounds to sell at 18 cents.
The two pound loaf costs cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for 8 cents,
In milling. however, Ii per cent.
more -four Is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there Is q com
pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration of so
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product Is only about 65 per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar. but with a larger extrac.
tion. the four pound loaf sells for ia
cents.

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares Il Ie an
Absoiute Sin to Waste Food--Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send It
II the war is to 60 on efficiently, II
we eat 1t all we cannot ship 1t, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve If
they do not get 1t, the food administra-
ton states.
"For the least bit Of heedlessness
OF your part in food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
fer privation," an official statement
declares. "The food administration
has mastered the problem Of Amerl-
cas- food In such way that every
ounce Of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach In Europe.
1T is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
Food means life; 1t means some
'body's life, and you cannot escape re-
sponsibility.
"There Is no waste Of food among
the allied nations"

!. BIG HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
/. Meat Supply. ri.
American Stock Raiaers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con.
servatlon Measures.

1t Is probable that Europe for many
years after the war Will look to a
great extent to America for Its meat
supply. u
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of catt!. were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer. ~"
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas.
. ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
$17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
: SIPS; November and December,
$16.08, and for January, $144O. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle Of France have decreased to
a total of 12,841 900 as compared with
14,8O7 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad.
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our flocks and herds and to i'm.
crease their numbers. The stock breed.
>ers OF this country show q disposition
to cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years 1t has been q prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
or this country to kill male calves at
, birth and In many instances the fe-
males II not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense Of
maturing them into veal. The high
prices OF meat caused the virtual dis
continuance Of this killing. Another
encouraging fact Is rs per cent. of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
IN war as powder, which is true.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consfd-
cred any plan of seizing foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future, #"G
In spite of this fact, the United
States fobd administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
hislnformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods 80 saved are
theirs. and theirs alone.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop In France was
less than half normal, using the crop
or 1913 as basis Of comparison.
There was shortage Of 10000, 900
bushels, or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within onc-third Of nor
mai. The sugar beet crop showed a
deiicit OF 670 per cent. Her meat
herds In the early fall showed short
age OF 1,S00,O0O animals.
Those are few of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
10 the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-.
feat In the war.

WILL ENTRADITE RUBIN
Self Confessed Slayer of Eva Roy to
be Turned Over to Fairfax
Authorities.

Extradition papers for Ben Rubin,
the confessed murderer of Eva Roy,
are in the hands Of the Fairfax county
authorities.
Commonwealth Attorney C. Vernon
Ford said this morning Rubin prob
ably would be taken to the Fairfax
county jail either late this afternoon
or Wednesday morning.
A typewriter report Of all evidence
taken in the half-doZen examinations
by District detectives has been for
warded to the Fairfax Commonwealth
attorney. The Commonwealth is
takiag no chance of Rubin not being
the slayer, and in all probability will
take him to the scene of the crime
some time this week to clear up sew
eral physical features in connection
with his confessions which the Dis.
trict officers state are confusing.
District detectives are of the opin-
ion Rubin is insane, and seeking pub
LEFTY. Il
Each day additional charges are
brought against him. The latest
charges are that he visited the bath
ing beach at Tidal Basin and stcle the
personal property of bathers. This
was made known when the detectives
recovered property by means of pawn
tickets found on his person
Among the articles were several
watches, one valued at $50 ard owned
by Hawley w. Anderson, 1900 Bel
mont road Mr.. Anderson said he
went to the beach on August 7,
checked his watch. stlckpin, and
$40 in money, and instead of wearing
the check, he left in in his locker.
So many offenses committed in the
District are added each day. Rubin
may he tried here before he is ar
raignedy for the murder of Eva Roy.
