We're read into the record late Nester-
day when the Overman committee
probing German propaganda, resumed
its sessions.
The letters were signed by Wingate.
Dickinson admitted that he had used
that name in much of his correspond

ters. The letters dealt with the peliti-
cal situation in the summer of 1916.
and referred frequently to our foreign
affairs
one OF the letters dated June 4, said,

Referring to Mrs. Bryan, the letter
read:

Another letter dated June 81 read:
Both sides want the hyphen vote
and both sides will make desperate eff
forts TO get the vote. What concerns
me most Of all is that an attempt should
be made deliberately to harness this
great nation up to England. l know

Another letter dated July 80. read:

ONE GOOD THING FROM WAR
cocone Nut, Hitherto Considered Only
as Nuisance, Has Been Made Arti-
Gle Of Commerce.

Before the war the cocone, which
grows. freely in the Southern Ameri-
cas-, on large trees of the palm fam
lily, was literally such a hard nut to
crack that its vegetable oil had no
place in commerce, and the tree was
known chiefly as a botheration to
banana planters when they wished to
enlarge their plantations. Eighteen
hundred pounds pressure is required
to crack the cocone nut, and there was
no machinery for doing it. Then gov
eminent experts said that nothing else
in the world would provide such good
carbon for gas masks as the cocone
nut, and the United States financed
the creation Of machinery for crack
ing it, thus starting new and i'm
pOrtant industry. Hereafter it will
be well worth while breaking the shells
for the vegetable OIL inside them, val
liable for cooking, lighting, and the
making of nut butter; and the shells,
happily no longer needed for masks.
can be used as fuel or in the manufac-
ture of gas. And so, out of an effort
to prevent the expansion of autocracy
by conquest, the Southern Americas
find opportunity to- expand by COM

BACK TO HIS OLD FREEDOM
Stormy Petrol, After Brief Stay With
Tame Birds, Returns to His
Accustomed Place.

'The stormy petrol has left u.s." said
Sergeant McGee of the park police
HE appeared to be getting along with
the mudhens like a house on fire, but
on Monday or Tuesday last he just
faded away, and now he is back on his
ocean wave or wherever else petrels
go when they get tired of the company
Of mudhens.
But a successor has come from
the briny deep to keep up the tradi-
tons of the blue-water birds on
Stow lake. He is only a seagull, and
seagull is not such a rara avis on
terra as our lost friend, the stormy
petrol. Nevertheless he is the first
wild one of his kind that has ever
tarried with us for two weeks, and
seemed to keep comfortable.
'sHe has no use for either the ducks
or the mudhens. That is to say, he
does not mix with them. But he has
struck up a friendship with Anthony
and Cleopatra, the two pelicans of
the Nile, and there is no driving him
away from them. Maybe he thinks
they will protect him from the mud
hens, maybe it is case Of the de-
sire of the moth for the STAR and he
is in love with one of them. If so, it
is only matter of time when one or
the other of them will get jealous and
g0bble him up in one gulp."-San

This Paternalism

What are regarded as tendencies
toward paternalism and usurpation of
executive authority on the part of the
Administration without authorization
of law or legislative scrutiny are
causing widespread resentment and
alarm among Republicans in Con-
gress.
With the war brought to an end
by the armistice of two months ago
there is felt here at the Capital a
marked reaction against the extra
constitutional power voted the Presi-
dent to enable him to more effectively
bring about the defeat of the enemy
and in favor of returning as soon as
possible to the careful checks and
balances of the three branches of
the government. Legislators point
out that such power justified itself in
the accomplishment of the end sought
but that its continuance in peace
times is an unnecessary abuse of priv
ilege and a menace not only to- liber-
ty and initiative but to the proper
conduct of the funds which the peo-
pie are taxed to supply. Hence it
is. likely that when the Chief Execu-
tive returns to this country he will
find both House and Senate in open
revolt against his attempts to over
rule them and to continue to exert
full and unrestricted authority.
It is held that this is nowhere more
apparent than in the effort to bring
about the public ownership of public
utilities. Despite the fact that the
President was given authority to
seize such agencies of communica-
ton only as a war measure, several
days after the armistice had been
signed Postmaster General Burleson
without the slightest intimation of his
purpose to Congress or warning tt
the parties interested, took over the
cable lines and added them to a de
partment already charged with {
breakdown in the efficiency of the dis

of the conflict, and Senator Hitchcocl
