Through the cooperation of
Colonel j. b. Kemper's recruiting

will fly over the Admirals flagship
and by means of flares give warning
of a coming attack.
About 7.3O p. m. an airplane Will
come up the river from scouting

William Bowman's flagship the
scout will signal by means of col

ed an enemy submarine attack ap-

that the attack is coming from the
direction in which he is flying.
The AdmiraTs staff will signal

the attack, to which the aviator will
reply; the staff will then ask the
strength of the attacking force to
which the scout will again reply.

planning this discrepancy in his story
Quien said he was suffering from loss
of memory.
All Arrested
The president pointed out that al
most every one with whom Quien
came in contact was placed under ar
rest or condemned by the Germans.
Among those mentioned was Father
Bonsteels, who, believing Quien was
honestly aiding Allied soldiers to es-
cape, gave him a railroad map which
showed the latest German modifca-
tions. Father Bonsteels was arrested
and sentenced to IL years impris-

1t was declared that Quien had
asked a Madame Van Damme to aid
two young persons to escape, and
that these two were directed to the
frontier by Madame Van Damme. who
sent another lady with them as a
guide. The three were arrested and
Madame Van Damme was thrown in
to Jail by the Germans. At their trials
all four were condemned.

SAYS FARMERS AND
LABOR SHOULD FIX
FARM FOOD PRICES

w. II. Kaufman, in a letter to
the Seattle Central Labor Council,
says that Organized Labor and the
farmers should fix the prices of
farm products. Following are eX-
cerpts from Mr.. Kaufmans letter:
In Australia the price of wheat
is fixed by the Government on the
basis of the cost during the pre-
vious five years. Each year the
Board drops one year and adds an
other year, thus keeping a five
year period.
Il suggest that you appoint a
committee to confer with one from
the Potato Growers Associations
of the state to fix a fair price for
potatoes, year by year. Once a fair,
average price is fixed potatoes can
be contracted, or the wage workers
organizations can arrange for grow
ing their own potatoes.
1T is impossible for us to
achieve economic independence so
long as we let outsiders attend to
our business. Roasting ears should
be delivered at homes for 8 cents
per dozen--a very cheap, nutritious
and delicious food. Very few of
either farmers or wage workers
know exactly what milk costs de-
livered.
81 will be glad to devote, with
out compensation, whatever time is
necessary to work out a set of cost
figures, so that we will know pre-
cisely where we are at; whether
we produce for ourselves in a CO.
operative way. | suggest Potato
Growers Associations, rather than
the Grange, for the Grange is pri-
marily a social and educational,
rather than a business organiza-
ton"
