GERMAN BALLOTS
BEAT BOLSHEv VIII
Vote in First Election Upset to
the Socialists, Says
Report.
RETURNS STILL INCOMPLETE
On the Face of the News From Ber-
lin 1t Appears Terrorism Has Gone
Down Under a Landslide for
the Moderates.

Copenhagen, Jan. 22.-On the face
of all news from Berlin terrorism in
Germany went down to ignominious
defeat under landslide of votes for
the moderates in Sundays election for
the national constituent assembly.
Berlin, Jan. 22-Twenty-four of the
S31 election districts in Greater Der
lin give the following totals:
German Democratic party, 1875
Majority Socialists, S,195; Independent
Socialists, 1905; German National
party, 4,706; German Peoples party
1850; Christian (centrist) party, 2.
254.
The strength shown by the Demo
cratic party is surprising to the p0liti
clans in view of the fact that Berlin
always has been overwhelmingly So
cialist.
The day passed without any serious
disturbances in Berlin, but rumors
that the Spartacans intended to inter
fere with the counting of the ballots
resulted in all polling places being oc-
cupied by soldiers when the voting
ended. There was some shooting
around the VOrwaerts and other news
paper buildings hate in the evening
but it was not of serious
character.
Paris, Jan. 22-Returns of the cleo.
ton for the German national assem-
bly, for the Third electorate district OF
Baden show the Majority Socialists to
have won five seats, the Centrist party
five seats, the German National par.
ty one seat and the German Demo
cratic party three seats. The votes
cast were: Majority Socialists, 1862,
94S; Centrists, 3S0,644; German Ma.
tionalists, 1916; German Democrats
226,S11.
In the Karlsruhe district the Major
ity Socialists cast 34,SS7 votes, the
Centrists 1850, and Nationalists $685.
and the German Democrats 24,S03.
Among the well-known Germans
elected in Baden were Konstantin Feb
renbach, former president of the
reichStag, and Herren Dietrich, Haase
and Wirth, members of the reichstag
In Wurttemberg Matthias Erzberger
Friedrich Won Payer. former vice chan.
cellOr; AdOlph Groeber and Herr Kehl
were elected.
The first returns are too incomplete
TO permit of any opinion being ex
pressed as to the significance of the
election, but the old National Liberal
party virtually has disappeared in Ba-
den and Wurttemberg, where the Cen
trists, Majority Socialists and German
Democrats alone have been sue
ceSSful.
The results in Wurttemberg were
Majority Socialists, 470,316 votes and
seven seats; German Democrats, 3d.,
O10 votes and four seats; Centrists,
303, 050 votes and four seats.

RAISED OWN CORN
How American Boys in France
Got DeIicacy.
Turned From the Trenches to Truck
Farming and Were as Success
full on the Field as
at the Front.

You should have seen the soldiers
raising garden truck for Christmas.
The climate of France was strange to
them, as was the soil, and some of
the vegetables that please the French
palate, according to Sterling Heilig In
an exchange.
But the American buddies took up
winter trucking with WILL
Nobody ever raised green corn down
there in winter. "Nor in summer, very
much, either" answered the buddies.
A few natives used to raise it to sell
to Americans of Paris, but they had
never tried to eat it, though they
raised much yellow corn for meal and
fodder. Last summer the doughboys
in certain hospital truck farm dis
tfcts resolved to have the real thing.
AZ Bordeaux, where they were par
ticularly successful, roasting ears were
furnished to the private car of Secre-
tary Baker when he made his trip to
France. And it was from the secre-
tary OF wars recommendations, they
say that the great American truck farm
movement in France quit Red Cross
swaddling clothes and became general
lied from fighting front to resting
rear.
In the south of France winter is a
good deal like summer, and they raise
almost anything. Heroes of st. Mi
hiel were betting that they would have
green corn for Christmas--and the
French natives bet against them.
Most of the gardeners were conva-
lescents. wounded at st. Mihiel, and
hungry for the fresh green things they
expected to eat presently. Only those
who have been deprived of green stuff
so long that they shy at the sight Of
a tin can are able to appreciate the
value of these real war gardens. For,
the fighting over, eating goes on, and,
when rutabagas that father used to
feed to the cows cost 40 cents pound,
the food problem is clearly stated to
every man in the army.
The surgeons say the, convalescent
heroes of Chateau Thlerry and ST. Mi
hiel need the garden work as much as
they need the garden truck. Get the
man out, even for half a day, in the
light work of truck farming, and you
get him out Of himself-and away from
sitting around hospitals, listening to
wounds being dressed and troubles
talked over. High British and Aus
tralian neurosis authorities agree, alb
sOlutely, that working the soil will
work more cures than any other treat
ment.
In the army farming In France many
see fOrerunner of what will happen
when Uncle Sam gives little govern
ment farms to his veterans on their re-
turn.
1--WE find that the American truck
farmer" says worker. latter he has
talked little with French truckers
and has the lay Of the land, turns out
better than the Frenchman-by up-to-
date methods. Side by side, the little
American truck farms in France are
superior to truck farms under French
gardeners in the suburbs of French
cities. 1t is absolutely demonstrated"

New Textile Material,

Textilit. said to be used in % Of
the largest German factories, is sub
stitute material that is predicted to
outlast the war as permanent addi-
ton to the textile industry. 1t con-
sists of paper thread and a fiber
thread twisted together and. though
the percentage of long fiber is very
small. 1t is claimed to have yielded
products that the uninitiated cannot
distinguish from the former linen and
jute fabrics. The dber gives a firm
ness that paper fabrics do not pos
sess. The material is made into weav-
ing and sewing yarhs and webs of all
kinds.

Dou of Noble Traits.

My dog is model of morality. He
neither dissembles, lies, steals nor tip
pies. There is no scintilla of hypoc-
risy in his nature. He is my congenial
comrade and confdant, my rollicking
romping companion, my never-failing
chum. He has never betrayed single
trust repOsed in him, nor has he ever,
for an instant, faltered or wavered in
his loyalty to me- His sincere friend
ship is as reliable and unremitting as
the attraction Of gravitation, his 10y
atty is as constant as the poise of the
magnetic needle to the pole.
He cannot be coaxed, >bribed or 9th
erwise influenced to betray me or to
turn against me. He is the ever-will-
ing, alert and obedient servant of my
every beck and nod. He would at any
time lay down his life in an effort to
shield mine without asking like sac
riflce on my part. Such are some Of
the sterling traits Of character evinced
in the everyday life of my devoted,
trusty friend and comrade.-J. w.

How to Catch Trout in Your Hands

How to Catch Trout in Your Hands.
Then. at Wills suggestion, they
started after more provisions" writes
Samuel Scovilel, Jr., in his serial boy
Scouts in the Wilderness" of which
the second installmet appears in the
Nav number of the Boys Life. "Joe
taught Will one of the simplest ways
Of catching fish. They walked up the
main brook toward its source until
they met little stream flowing into
it from a nearby spring. This they
followed, the trout darting ahead of
them. At narraw part of this stream
the boys walled in a pool with piles
of stone and small rocks.
This pool they filled up with flat
stones until the water in it was only
a few inches deep, building up the
sides, however, until they were fully
a foot above water Then, making a
detour away from the brook, they
came out some fifty yards above this
fish-trap Stepping into the brook
both boys waded with stick in each
hand, splashing the water and driving
the fish down stream. By the time
they reached the shallow walled-in
pool it was packed to overflowing
with plunging, darting trout, from
four to six inches long. So thickly
were the fish jammed into the shall
low water that all the boys had to
do was to wade in and catch as many
as they needed with their hands and
even had a hundred or so small
trout"
