ANOTHER GERMAN
 PLOT IS REVEALED
(New York TribuneO

Charges of wholesale irregularities. gross incompetence and pro- German activities in the production of Ameri- can made arms and ammunition for the Russian army are being made the subject of a thorough investigation by the Russian embassy at Washing ton.
 Chlet among the complaints enumer ated are the charges that reflected arms nave been accepted by higher Russian officials, that conscientious inspectors nave been tempted with bribes, ham, pered and discharged.
 While inefficiency is believed Inv Russian officials here to have been the chief obstacle in the way of snaedv delivery of arms, they admit that in some instances cupidity. and even sympathy for the German cause. were motives.
 The outstanding features of the charges under investigation are these:
 That inspectors at the New England Westinghouse Company formed an or Sanlzatlon for the purpose of making public irregularities that came under their observation there, having failed to obtain a hearing from their immedi- ately superior Russian representatives.
 That these inspectors, failing to in- terest any of the Russian commissions in New York, to whom they assert they made repeated personal appeals, finally went on strike to call attention to the fact that rejected materials were being accepted by Russian representatives.
 That the strike was ultimately broken by the dismissal of many of their number--'The most conscientious of our men," is the way they refer to the discharged men in an affidavit made after the occurrence.
 That pro- German agitators had suc- ceeded in influencing the rejection of large quantities of bayonets manufac- tured in St. Louis, although the arms were acceptable as of military value.

ITALY IS MAKING SLACKERS FIGHT

military service and that of others who
had done their bit and yet paid with
their lives for q moment of weakness.
There were, no doubt, other concomi-
tant causes that contributed to weaken
resistance on the Italian front when
the well planned Austro-German often
sive was timely initiated. Thanks to
their superior intelligence services at
the front and their espionage system in
this country the Germans knew
where and when to attack with sue
cess. They resorted to propaganda
among the Italian troops holding posi-
tons where no fighting had been going
on for long time.
1t is known now that after the riots
at Turin most Of the munition workers
who were socialists had been sent to
the front and attached to the units
holding these positions. 1t was among
these men that the enomy propaganda
was successful, and the deficient resist
ance, due to weakness or treachery,
that rendered the invasion of Italy pos
sible originated at point which could
be easily defended by handful Of
men, as it was naturally strong and
fOrmidably fortified because it afforded
the shortest way for invasion. I'm

In instructing schOolchildren in knit
ting, they must begin with the simplest
things first and advanced to those that
are more difficult, as in anything else.
Some Of the schools started out with
the six-inch squares made Of cOlored
yarns on No. 3 needles, and after that
they undertake mufflers, then wrlstlets.
The squares are used by the Red Cross
by joining them to make small quilts
or coverlets.
Yarn and knitting needles can be
purchased either from stores or Red
Cross chapters. The standardized
Red Cross needles are in three sizes,
and their numbers and sizes are as fol-
lows:
Knitting needles, No. 1-135-1 600
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 2--175.1, 600
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 3-200-1 900
inch in diameter.
The children use No. 8 needles. They
are first taught to "cast on" and to
avoid making their first stitches too
tight. Beginning on the small squares
the children practice until they can
make the stitches even and firm. They
must be taught to pick up dropped
stitch and sometimes ravel out and re-

Mothers love to make dainty finery
for their little girls at any season Of
the year, but more especially now, at
the season when indoors is more in
viting than outdoors. In the North
the long winter evenings must be filed
somehow and lelsurely sewing on pref
ty white clothes is as much pastime
as work, Many mothers count on Jan
uary and February as the time for get
ting the little ones sewing out of the
way, before the approach Of Easter
c0mpels them to give time and attention
to the more important needs OF them
selves.
In January dry goods stores put on
their annual sales of white goods and
present their new-season models in
children's frocks - assortments are
complete and prices low, so the mer-
chant plays into the hands OF those
patrons who count on making up lin
gerie and children's clothes at this
time. Styles for little folks do not
change much; there is so little room
for improvement in them. We all ike
to see the same sheer white fabrics
trimmed with the same simple needle
work, or fine embroidery and liagerie
iaces that we have come to associate
always with babyhood.

Gently been taking place in such states
as Oregon, Washington, Arizona and
the states Of the South. BY all the ac-
counts of those times the unmistak-
able signs Of shiftlessness and poverty
due to drink were everywhere preva-
lent in Maine. But the one thing that
impresses visitors to the state more
than anything else today is the thrift
the spic-and-spanness Of buildings and
grounds, even to the white pallng
fences which testify to the effect that
the prohibition Of drink has mad upon
the population. The savings habit pos

And the comparative paucity of crimes,
