This service divides itself into
three distinct phases. First there

pected at any day. at any hour, the

that the Germans postponed their

A Muncie family is contemplating
the remodeling of its house. Several
architects have been calling with plans
during the last few days-all very
successful architects. too. The other
day one who looked especially good"
to the younger children arrived. That
noon they discussed him at the family
table. "Oh, he's rich," ventured one
OF the youngsters.
"Why?" smiled the elder sister-just
twenty.
''Why he looks so prosperous" came
back the answer, to the amusement of
the rest of the family.
That afternoon the architect made
a return trip and displayed his plans
&c the elder sister. The high-school
boy arrived while the two of them
were on the veranda looking over the
plans. After the architect had gone
he strolled over to his sister, and re-
marked: II see you're trying to get

SPIES OF GERMANY
BOTHERED YANKEES

One night elements Of the Seventy
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, Seventyseventh! !"
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 AIsace.
American troops that saw service in
the mountainous Alsace country had
the greatest difficulties with the spy
evil. Behind the Franco-American
lines were large number of people
who were Germantown and who re-
tanned their sympathies for the kaiser.
The country offered unusually good OPP
portunities for spies because of It's
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 hid
ing places that it was next to impos-

Outdoor Art Committees Of
Town Booster Clubs.

Booster clubs for town planning and
civic improvements are the natural
outgrowth Of our wartime defense and
patriotic leagues. Our suburban towns
should not overlook this opportunity to
utilize these wartime organizations in
furthering the welfare of their COM
munities. Many interesting activities
can be carried on, for the improvement
and Identification of your town and
community. would suggest the fol-
lowing as being important, interesting
and practical.
Have your boosters club appoint an
outdoor art committee. The members
Of this committee should be citizens
who can give considerable time, are
public spirited, self-sacrificing and ap.
preciate what town Improvements
mean. This committee should recon.
mend the adoption Of an ordinance for
the protection and regulation Of tree
planting on all the public streets.
1t should condemn the planting Of
soft wood short-lived varieties of trees
like the willow, boxelder, cottonwood,
poplar and soft naples. All of these are
a nuisance and in many cases de-
structive. The roots Of the willows,
poplars and cottonwoods fill the sew
ers and injure pavements, while the
box elders and soft naples are always
seriously affected by insect and fungus
diseases.
Only the hardwood long-lived vari-
cites should be recommended by this
committee, such trees as the American
elm, red and pin oaks, sycamore, Nor
way naples, lindens, ginko, ironwood,
locusts, etc. These trees will grow to
be several hundred years old, are not
seriously affected by insect and fungus
diseases and seldom look shabby or
unsightly.-J. n. Prost in Chicago

Enemy Learned Valuable Secrets
No Matter How Carefully
Guarded.
CENTER ON AMERICANS
Germans Sent Smoothest Secret Ser
vice Men to Camp on Trail of
Americans as Soon as They
Landed.

Parfs.-American newspaper CORE
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 Pershngs war
riors. The Germans concentrated a
large number of spies against the
Americans Immediately after the first
Yankee contingents landed in France
and kept augmenting their numbers.
The 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 1t was
the American army that would figure
largely in allied operations. They
wanted to find out what kind of an
army Pershing had, what the morale
Of the Individual soldiers was, what the
stats were planning and what DISPOSE
ton was being made of American
troops behind the western battle front
Hard to Keep Secrets.
In spite of all precautions and in
spite of contre-espionage forces, Ger.
man agents undoubtedly collected a
large amount of valuable information
behind the American lines to supple
lnent other odds and ends they had
picked up from American prisoners
from 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-
gefce 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.

BILLBoARDs hit BY DECISION
BY Ruling Of Supreme Court They
May Be Barred From Resi-
dence Districts.

The power granted cities by the
United States Supreme court to elimi-
nate billboards altogether in the resi-
Dental districts is hailed with apprO-
baton by the American Civic associa-
ton in bulletin which 1t devotes to
the billboard evil. The decision which
protects the millions of dollars invest
ed in homes and civic improvements
was rendered in the case of the Cusack
company against Chicago.
The Civic association, in the strong
est language, urges communities to
protect themselves from the intrusions
Of billboards in the residence districts.
It calls the billboards "eyesores, !"
which depreciate property values.
Los Angeles already has taken ad-
vantage Of the power given it by the
Supreme court to bar billboards from
all parts Of the city except business
districts. Whether a block is in a
business district is determined by the
written consent of the owners of &c
per cent Of the property in the block
and the two adjoining blocks.
So it will take the permission Of the
owners of two-thirds of the frontage
in three blocks to erect billbOards
along one block.
The billboards may be banished at
any time upon the request Of the
owners Of 35 per cent of the frontage
