PARIS, France, October 15.--
A m eric n newspaper corre
Spondents abroad are now permitted
TO relate some of the troubles the
Americans experienced with the great
German spy system.
No army in the world war had a
harder fight against the smooth-work-
Ing, far-reaching Teuton espionage sys-
TEN than did General Pershing's war
riors. The Germans concentrated
large numb& of spies against the
americans Immediately after the first
hahKee contingents landed in France
ana Kept augmenting their numbers.
Inc American army was made the OBJ
Ject OF the spy offensive because the
Germans recognized that, If the war
continued until the summer of 1918
and then Tapped over into 1919 it was
tne American army that would figure
largely in allied operations. They
wanted to find out what kind Of an
army Pershing had, what the morale
oI the individual soldiers was, what the
STAINS were planning and what disposi-
tlon was being made of American
= troops behind the western battle trout.
b Hard to Keep Secrets.
In spite of all precautions and in
spite Of contre-espionage forces, Ger
man agents undoubtedly collected a
iarge amount of valuable information
behind the American lines to supple
ment other odds and ends they had
plcEed up from American prisoners,
ron the reports of their land and air
observers and from other sources.
officers tried hard to keep the Boche
from learning that one American unit
had been removed from the line and
supplemented by another. That was
information that the German intelli-
gence officers wanted for their "order
OF battle" maps, by which they kept
track of the exact disposition of all
enemy troops in the line and reserve.

sorry he was because he attempted to
kill her.
AS Tinker left O'Possum's S home,
he heard Jerry the Jay calling, and
i strange sight appeared before HIN.
There was the Hawk, the Crow. the
Woodpecker and Jerry Jay working
faithfully together on a great carpet
for the throne. They had been weav-
ing every day. The Hawk and the
Grow flew far away to where reeds
and rushes grew and brought back
great bundles. The Woodpecker US
ed his bill to weave them together,
and Little Mrs Wren stitched the
ends that they might not ravel. Jerry
thes Jay hunted food for them all
and, with his chatter, kept their spir-
its high.
Major Pole Cat was working on a
fur pillow for the throne. He shed
his coat of fur every year and this
he always saved Now it came in
handy to make a soft throne pillow
He, too, was sorry for what had been
in his heart against Lady Duck But
Tinker Bob forgave him and journey
ed on.
Coming back to the Fox children,
he found them gathering moss for
the wall of the throne, and Lady
Duck had laid an egg for each. be-
cause they worked so diligently. And
she had gathered all the feathers
she could find and made beautiful
canopy with palm leaves from the
river and feathers from her wings,
to hang over the throne.
Tinker Bob was glad to see all of
the forest dwellers working together.
They were happier than ever before.
No one was afraid to venture forth
now because their new-made King
would protect them.
Each. in turn, brought their gifts
for the throne and Chief Porky set
them in place Last of al to bring
a gift, was the Forest Adder who had
recently shed his skin. He brought
this and told Chief Porky to hang it
on the throne as an emblem of his
loyalty to the King.

Indian spear Punctures Tlre.

Rhinelander, Wis.-Gus and Peter

which had stuck in the tire of their

Eagle River road. The spear is a

seventh division, from New York city,
slipped quietly into line in the Bacca-
rat sector, relieving other units of the
Forty-second division which entrained
for the west to help repel Hindenburg's
last great offensive. There was every
need for secrecy. But when men Of
the Seventy-seventh peered across mo
mans land at daybreak they saw
hoisted from the German trenches this
sign, printed in English:
"Good-by, Forty-secOnd division !
Welcome, Seventy-seventh y o
There were other instances of the
same kind; but the thing was not all
one-sided. Often the Americans knew
that Heinie was slipping in new out
fit, the number of the outfit and Just
what kind of stuff its men were made
Of, and they made important use OF
that information.
Much Trouble in Alsace.
American troops that saw service In
rhe mountainous Alsace country had
the greatest difficulties with the spy
evil. Behind the Franco-American
lines were a large number of people
who were German-born and who re-
tained their sympathies for the kaiser
The country offered unusually good op-
portunities for spies because of its
hilly, wooded nature. On several
nights, when American troops were en-
tering the trenches to relieve other
units, rockets and colored lights shot
up from hills behind the American
front. The German artillery promptly
responded to this tip by pounding the
American communication trenches,
knowing that they would be crowded
with men passing forward. The hills
and woods afforded such excellent MD
ing places that 1t was next to impos-
sible to attempt to trap the men who
had touched off the lights. The situa-
ton in Alsace was all the more diff
cult because the French government
| desired to avoid offending the Alsatiaa
village~~ nv making arrests.

Early in the participation of the
United States in the world war, the
American Red Cross perceived the
value of mob4izing the school children
of the country and the Junior Red
Gross was organized. Before the war
ended nine million children were en-
rolled and helped in the war fund
and membership campaigns, in chap
ter production of relief supplies and
manufacturing furniture for the ref
ugees whose homes and household
goods were destroyed
Children everywhere in the United
States responded to the call to serv-
ice sounded by President Wilson as
head of the American Red Cross.
This photograph is that of an en-
thusiatic young Japanese member of
the Junior Red Cross of Spokane,
Wash, starting out ON the ambitious
undertaking Of collecting "a mile Of
pennies" for war relief A compre-
hensive peace program is now being
worked out for the Junior Red Cross,
which is being held intact.

WHO BUILT THE KINGS
THRONE.

WHEN Chief Porky had watched
w the 1000 Driver Ants at work
for a few moments, he was aston
ished. Each worker had a task to
perform, and that wasn't all-each
worker knew just how to perform his
task. There were hundreds of Ants
carrying clay from the river bank,
And when each one arrived with his
load, he didn't stop to talk. but i'm
mediately returned for another load.
When each worker dropped his load
there were others to take it to the
builders who put it in place So the
foundation was built for the throne
in the Great Forest.
While waiting for the throne, Tin

KILL THE GRAssHoPPERs

Manhattan, Kans., June 10-Ac-
Ecording to field Investigations and re-
ports from county agricultural agents
in the western third of the state an
unusually large number of grasshop-
pers have Matched from the eggs that
survived the winter and in many dis
tricts in this part of the state they
are in sufficient numbers to injure ser
iously alfalfa and later in the season
other crops, unless prompt and Wig
orous effort is made to destroy them.
During the last six years the pois-
oned bran mash favored with fruit
juice has been so extensively used in
this state, well in other states
and countries and has been so effec-
tive that the agricultural college re-
commend it the most effective and
the most practical method of control.
The bran mash is made as follows:
Bran, 20 pounds; white arsenic, paris
green or London purple, 1 pound !;
syrup or cheap molasses, 2 quarts !;
oranges or lemons, 3; water 3 1-2 gall
Ions.
In preparing the bran mash, mix
the bran, white arsenic, paris green,
or London purple thoroughly in a
tub while dry Sqeeze the juice of the
oranges or lemons into the water,
to fine bits or run them through a
meat grinder, and add them to the
water. Dissolve the syrup in the wat
er and wet the bran and poison with
mixture, stirring at the same time so
as to danpen< the mash thoroughly.
The bait when favored with oran-
ges or lemons is found to be not only
more attractive, but also more
appetizing, and thus is. eaten by more
of the grasshoppers.
The bran mash or bait should be
sown broadcast in the infested areas
early in the morning, or about the
time the grasshoppers begin to move
about 1t should be scattered sparing-
1y in such a manner as to cover from
four to five acres with the amount of
bait made by using 20 pounds of
bran Since very little of the bran
mash is eaten after it becomes dry,
scattering it broadcast in the short
est time.
Sowing it in this manner also
makes it impossible for birds, barn
yard fowls, or live stock to secure a
sufficient amount of the poison to
kill them. On alfalfa fields, in order
to secure the best results, the bait
should be applied after a crop has
been removed and before the new crop
has started. In this case considerable
saving of material and labor can be
effected by leaving a strip 20 to 80
feet wide between each strip of mash.
1t is fully as effective as if the en-
tire ground was covered, because the
hoppers will crawl many feet to get
it. 1t is also a good plan to apply
the bran mash to narrow strip in
the center of each field left uncut for
the purpose.
