Nationwide Move
For Better Stock Is
Launched at Capital

WOSHINGTON, Oct. 1.-What is
declared to be the most extensive
organized movement in the history
of the world for the improvement
of livestock begins here today with
the Inauguration of crusade by the
United States department of agri-
culture, state agricultural colleges
and cooperating organizations to
bring about better breeding for all
classes of farm animals and poultry.
The movement is nationwide and
reaches straight to the individual
livestock owner and breeder and def
initely pledges him to use only pure
bred sires. His females may be of
any breeding. 1t is planned to have
the machinery of the department of
agriculture and a majority Of the
state agricultural colleges and nu-
merous other agencies support those
who seek to improve their livestock
by this method.
They will have at their disposal
also the services of. the county agri-
cultural agent, farm bureaus, farm
councils and livestock associations in
buying or obtaining the use of the
right kind of sires.
Every man who joins the crusade,
the experts declare, will not only
help himself but will help make the
country a greater agricultural ma
ton.
The administration of the cam
paign is in charge of a department
Of agriculture committee headed by
DR.. John r. Mohler, chief of the
bureau of animal industry. Among
the agriculture college officials who
already have enrolled their states in
the campaign are the following:
Georgia.. Phil Campbell, Ath-
ems; Louisiana-W. R. Perkins, Uni.

Otto Corvin, a hunchback, was the
ringleader of the murder and torture
band that operated under Bella Kun
in Hungary, according to Luclen
Jones, writing to "The Daily News"
of London, from Budapest. Jones
says of Corvin:
Had [ not examined the police min
utes taken after the preliminary eX-
animation of Corvin and his asso-
ciates, and had I not questioned Cor
vim myself, 1 should not have be-
lieved such fiendish practices to be
possible in the twentieth century. 1t
appears from the police minutes and
statements Corvin has made that he
himself was responsible for the death
of 500 political suspects and was an
active agent in torturing ten times
as many more.
Under his auspices an elaborate
torture chamber, with all modern and
ancient devices, was fitted out in
the cellars of the new parliament
buildings and in a basement under
the palace of Count Bakonye, which
is situated in the main thoroughfare
of Budapest. The luckless suspects
would be dragged out Of their beds
and taken to one of the places at
| dead of night.
One of the favorite methods Of
| torture was to fix a gag in the
mouth of the prisoner so that his
Jaws remained wide open, while a
| lighted match was held in his mouth
until the victim either confessed
| knowledge of counter-revolution
| plans or agreed to pay large sum
| of money.
A Dagger in the Throat
Another form of torture was To
thrust a dagger down the throat OF
| the prisoner until he assented to
! their demands The favorite meth
| cd, however, was to bring a prls-
oner into a room where various
portions of the human body, such
as noses, eyes, lips, ears, which had
been cut off previous victims, were
lying on a table. He was then given
a choice of a form of dismember-
ment if no confession of money was
| forthcoming.
Many died under torture rather
than yield, and every night cart

Wire Fences

How John J. Coates, n former
workman at the local steel plant and
now n member of the S17th Engi-
neers, crack colored outfit, became
known among the Germans as the

written by Corporal John d. Scott,
now Il member of a casual company
at Camp Upton.
Scott was sent TO a hospital at
st. Nazaire and there heard a nurse
speak of the Crawling Devil" He
inquired and was told that Coates
had been given this name by the
Hun machine gunners, who had
watched him crawl out of the
trenches and repair wires in face
of intense machine gun and shell
fire.
E<0tt in his letter tells how several
captured German machine gunners
were telling Coates captain how
they finally get the Crawling Devil
when Coates appeared and reported
to the captain.
John J. Coates was well known
here and was employed as a lahorer
in the steel plant for several years.
He left the borough in 1917.
