 TALK ABOUT JOAN
Republican A. p. Leased wire]

MADRID, Aug. 25.-El Liberal to- day announced that negotiations were proceeding for a commercial loan be- tween Spain and the United States.
 Spain" the newspaper says, "is opening credit of 300 million or 500 million pesetas. the United States giving as a guarantee the signatures of American firms exporting cotton to Spain. With this credit the United States will be able to purchase in Spain some of the products necessary for it's army in France without the necessity of changing dollars into peso tas and thus avoiding the reduction in exchange.
 Ambassador Willard and other American officials have had several in tcrviews with the members of the Spanish government and it is believed the basis of an agreement has been reached. The interest payable on the loan has been the subject of discussion. the United States objecting to paying five per cent. America offers to pay the balance remaining of the loan in Mexican gold on the day of liquida- tion.'

German Plot
 To Hurt v. s.
 Made Known

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Germany conducted "subtIe propaganda m 1917," to check American prepara- ton for war by leading the public to believe that the German people were about to overthrow "kaiser- ism," Alfred T. Becker, deputy state attorney general, asserted to- night in making public the results of his examination of George r. O'DelI, correspondent of the New York Evening Mail who went to Germany with Ambassador won Bernstorff after the breaking of diplomatic relations.
 According to Mir. Becker, O'Oell was granted interviews with re- puted leaders of German thought and was encouraged to send back articles designed to persuade America, by what would appear the testimony of an unprejudiced observer, that the German masses were about to rise against their masters and that the war could be won by political measures without force of arms"
 Mir. Becker said ODeII was re- quired to send his articles by cable, because if they were sent by wire less they might be picked up in Russia, where Germany then was disseminating a different brand of propaganda.
 O'DelI, MT. Becker says, got much of his information from Or. Roed- rieer, censor in the German foreign office; Prof. Gaevernitz, of Frei- burg University; pr. koertz, of Heidelberg, and other "alIeged leaders of thought"
 According to Mir. Becker, O'DelI prepared an additional series of articles after his return to America which Dr. Edward A. RumeIy, then managing editor of the New York Evening Mail, ordered widely dis tributed through the Evening Mails syndicate. But the syndicate man ager refused to push their sale.

GERMANY DOES NOT
 LIKE SPANISH NOTE

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The German newspapers say the situation between Spain and Germany is critical, but that Germany can make no concessions with regard to her submarine warfare, says dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Copenhagen.
 The Taeglische Rundschau admits the beginning of conflict which may affect the position of both Mexico and Argentina. The complaints of Spain mean an admission in favor of the en- terte powers" says this newspaper, "and Spain's threats means step away from the path of neutrality desired by the Spanish people. The Spanish note must be considered by the German people as an unfriendly act The Lolsa1 Anzeiger says that Spain must acknowledge the conditions which compelled Germany to resort to submarine warfare.

DENIES STATEMENT
 ISSUED BY TROTZKY

MECHANICAL. Russia, Thursday, Aug. 22.-(By The Associated Press)- An official announcement issued to- day by the allied governments in the northern region of Russia denied the statement recently made by Lenine and TrotZky that Great Britain, France and the United States were enemies of Russia The allied military action, the announcement added, was aimed at the expulsion of the Germans from Russian territory and the suppression by force of arms the Brest-Litovsk treaty. 'She statement follows:
 "Lenine aSd Tgotzky declare that the British. French and Americans who disembarked at Archangel are bri- gands and they call upon the Russian proletariat to fight against them as enemies of Russia who attacked her with a declaration of war.
 Agreed to Landing
 We declare to all Russian citizens, for whom the welfare of Russia is dear that this is not true. The British, French and Americans at Archangel are the allies of Russia. They were invited to make a landing here by the legitimate government and with the complete and unanimous agreement on the part of the population.
 "The government or the northern region is composed of members of the constituent assembly which was elected by the whole population of the northern border district. It comprises also representatives of the Zemstvos and municipalities elected by universal suffrage.
 This government has been formed and was overturned by the illegitimate bolsheviki government before the Get scent of the allies. It was formed on the initiative of the league for the rc- generation of Russia which feunites all political parties, recognizing the constituent assembly as the only right ful Russian government.
 To Suppress Treaty
 'The allies then were called to Rus sia by the only legitimate and repre- sentative authority for the purpose of military action in common, aiming at the expulsion of the Germans and the complete suppression by force of arms of the Brest-Litovsk treaty traitor ously signed by the bolsheviki. But they were called on the distinctly specified condition that they must rot mix themselves in the internal affairs of the government of Russia"

MILL AS COSMOS
ALMOST COMPLETED;

hAO EA ENoAON
The big orange colored mill, form
erly the Lucky Extension at Douthat,
now being built on the Cosmos lease
southwest of st. Louis, is almost done
and will be in operation in few days.
The plant is one of the large ones
of the field and is to be put to work
on a rich property, judging from the
dirt that has been brought from the
two shafts of the Cosmos, the proper
ty of the Lucky Tiger Company.
The Cosmos is one of the best test
ed pieces of property ever drilled here,
there being dozens of holes put down,
probably more than one for every
acre.
The Lucky Tiger people are not
zinc and lead miners but are consid-
cred among the biggest silver and
gold mine operators of Mexico. This
is their first attempt at zinc and lead
mining, according to report, but they
are using the same careful methods
in operating here that characterized
their work at other places and have
a we'll tested and we'll opened proper
ty before the mill is built.

PLAY FAIR WITH ALLIES
Woman Who Bakes Own Bread Should
Observe 1920 Rule

Wichita, Sept. lido you bake
straight bread in your home or do you
bake victory bread, consisting Of -four
pounds of wheat -four and one pound
of substitutes?
If the straight wheat loaf is served
in your home you are violating a SOL
emn pledge made by Unitel States
Food Administrator Hoover to the
food controllers of Italy, France and
England that we would eat the same
kind of bread they agreed to eat. AT
least that is the stand taken by Fed
eral Administrator lines in q letter
sent today to all county food admins
traitors explaining the 1920 rule.
The allies enforce the 1920 rule by
law. In America bakers are required
to live up to the regulations, but the
householder is put on honor. Mr..
Hoover has such faith in the Ameri-
can housewife he promised the Allies
she would make victory bread without
being forced to do it.
That means that when the house
wife buys q 24-pound sack of -four and
six pounds of substitute, that all the
substitutes would be mixed with the
bread. The housewife who bakes her
own bread and fails to bake what the
allies are using, is by that act failing
to eat the same bread as the guests at
our table.
The Italians, French and British are
our guests, for they cannot eat wheat
unless we pass the plate around &C
cording to figures given out by the
food administration.
Under our agreement with the allies
we are expected to buy breakfast food
cereals and corn meal for corn bread
in addition to that purchased as q sub
stitute with wheat -four.

COMMUNITY DAY
A BIC AFFAIR
Baxter Springs to Be Host to
Rural People in Big Patriotic
Demonstration

The first community interests day
to be held in Baxter Springs, and the
first big general day to be held for a
number of years, will be held We'd
nesday, September rs. 1t will be
widely advertised and there will be a
program arranged that will be both
attractive and interesting. The inten-
ton of the men in charge is to make
the program different in many re-
spects than is generally the case when
such booster days are being held.
The conclusion to hold this big COM
munity day was reached at the Cham
Der of Commerce, last night at a
meeting of the subcommittee, which
was named several weeks ago by the
community interests committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce. The sub
committee is composed of B. H. Low
ry, Ed. G. Polster, w. w. Wyatt, j.
H. Hannah and H. H. Mcclure. All
were present at last nights meeting
with the exception Of Mr.. Mcclure.
Committees for the September Is
day were arranged for by appointing
the chairmen, who will select their
own associates on the committees. Ed
G. Polster heads the entertainment
committee; w. w. Wyatt, the finance
committee, and C. M. Sarchet the ad-
vertising committee. These men will
meet again Sunday afternoon (tOmor-
ROW. at 8 o'clock for the purpose Of
making further arrangements.
1t was decided by the sub-commit-
tee, that the program for September
25 will be patriotic in nature, and the
purpose is to secure the very best tai
ent obtainable-talent that will at
tract a crowd of people to this city.
A mid-week day was selected pur-
posely in order to get the day separ-
ated from the idea Of trades day. It
will be more in the nature Of a recrea-
ton day. The subcommittee idea
also is to form a program that will
call out all the people Of the city as
helpers.
