GERMAN AGENTS
PLOT TO REGAIN
FOREIGN TRADE
Try to Force Pro-German
Revolutions and Elections
In South American C0un-
tries, Doctor Says.

(Staff Correspondent Universal Service
New Orleans, La, May 30.-Ger-
man agents are again showing their
heads above the political and COM
mercial surface of Central America
according to DR.. J. NJ. Woodward,
an American physician with head
quarters in Guatemala City, capital
of Guatemala, who is in New Or
leans en- route on his first visit in
20 years to his former home in St
Louis, Mo. Doctor Woodward has
spent two decades in Guatemala and
for the past seven years has been
private physician to President Es-
trada Cabrera, of that country, SO
that his opportunities for first hand
knowledge of the situation in Guate-
mala and other of the Central Amer
lean republics is excellent.
Three revolutions and one i'm
portant election are on the tapis in
as many countries of Central Amer
ica." said DR.. Woodward at a down
town hotel here. ''1n each of the
revolutions and in the electoral cam
paign German agents are taking
part, hoping that, by the overthrow
of present presidents, or by the cleo
ton of one friendly to them they
may regain some of the political in
'fluence they lost in those countries
when the kaiser started the Euro
pean war.
Hope to Save Property.
They also are plotting to get back
more than half a billion dollars
worth Of German property con-
fscated by several of the Central
American governments when they
entered the war on the side of the
allies. Besides this, these German
agents hope to get control of the
majority of the export and import
trade of these countries which they
held before the war, and, therefore.
prevent the United States from alb
sorbing the valuable commerce of the
100000 people who inhabit Amer
lea.
There are open revolutions in
Costa RIGA and in Venezuela. The
one in Costa RIGA, headed by Julius
Acosta, probably will succeed in
BUSTING President Tinoco as he is in
bad with the Washington govern
ment, yet he is decidedly pro-ally,
and friendly to the American people,
while Acosta and the other revolu-
tionary leaders are being supplied
with funds from the Mohler COM
pany, a German firm whose import
and export trade in Costa Rica alone
was worth nearly $l4,000,000 a year
before the war. Tinoco has not been
a good president for the country.
but he is better than a president
who will favor German firms in trade
and German agents in international
politics there.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

After long period of doubt as to what was going to be done the an- nouncement has been made that Pres ident Wilson has fixed May 19 as the date for the assemblage of the 66th congress in special session, and it will be opened without the president be- ing in attendance or in the country.
 While this date is earlier than re- cent reports had indicated, and while it is said to be called now in order that the important appropriation bills can be acted upon in time to prevent any embarrassment of departmental work, there is no good reason why it should not have been called directly after the adjournment of the last con- gress or at least the first of May.
 With the last congress failing to dis pose of such matters in the time that it had, it is expected that tho coming session will llnucklo right down to business and in few weeks make up for all tne delay which has neediessly taken place.
 There are many Matters of import ance awaiting the action of the spe cial session. They are not matters that should be hurriedly disposed of. They call for due consideration and deliberatlon even though the political complexion Of that body has changed, for constructive action is needed, whether it is taking care of the big appropriation bills, dealing with the railroad situation. the wire lines. the treaty terms. taxation or other mat ters.

KNOWING HOW TO SEW.

Any community has reason to be proud, as Philadelphia is over the ex- hibition which was recently held in that city, when it is shown that it's high school girls are able to make their own dresses. This shows what can be accomplished through the sew ing courses which are provided for those who to a certain extent are likely to be more or less dependent upon their own handiwork.
 There are those of course who would be taught that commcndable work in their homes but there is greater num- Der who would not. and the opening up of such courses, whether they are a part of the school education or made possible for young people through other organizations, is a decidedly commendable piece of work. The girl who knows how to sew, to darn her own stockings, 10 do what patching may be necessary. to make her 'owll clothes is certainly possessed of a val uable accomplishment. It is true that many do not iiks 70 sew, and it is certain that all who are taught how WIt uUt Dt lOtEDu LO ItiDAh Oh ia clothes just because they know how, but they are nevertheless looked up- on with envy by those who do not know how, especially when time presses, when dressmakers cannot be secured, when new clothes are want ed and there is no one else to come to the rescue. At the same time such knowledge permits them to have much more in that line than others who cannot handle the needle. Many have seen the time when they would give considerable to know how tt sew, while the results obtained fur

ATTEND THE CAUCUS TONIGHT.

Tho city election comes in June, only matter of a trihe over three weeks away. There is and has been for some time a clamor for a better administra- sion of city affairs and the demand comes quite as extensively from those who by their votes were responsible for the existing city government as from those who were not. When such a situation prevailed in the past the inference was usually correct that change was impending. and there is good reason to believe that such is the case nows
 Tonight the republicans are to hold their caucus for the selection of can didates for office at the June election. Every effort should be made by the rank and file of the party members to --be in attendance for the purpose of
 giving the short campaign the proper s--start and to nominate men who will |. have the confidence of their fellow : citizens in the administration of the 2 duties of city government when z elected.
 z IL is time to get away from the idea z that the caucus is of little or no i'm a portance unless it is understood that = there is a contest to be expected The . selection of the candidates is not a . matter that should be left to a few. It z is a responsibility which devolves up- . on all the republicans and they should . be eager to have a voice in the put . ting forth of a strong and representa- . five ticket. one that will command the = support of all voters, regardless of party one that the electors will be
 anxious to elect and above all one
 that will cause them to remember
 when election day comes around the
 duty Of going to Inc polls and voting. ~ The thing for the republicans to do -ss to get out and show that they have ahe men in whom confidence can be
 placed and make it evident that there
 is a determination to bring about the - hetterment of city government that is
 being called for.
 Don't miss tonight's caucus Start
 the ball rolling to victory next month.

Whether the language has any thing to do with it or not 1t is appar- ently the fact that the matter of hav- ing American business represented by Americans has been considered neces- sary in the past, but it doesn't re- quire the stretching of the lnaSina- ton very much to realize that the placing of American agents in charge of the foreign end of our enterprises holds out possibilities which cannot be overlooked.
 That such. step has not been taken more generally in the past indi- cates that there is little or no reason for listrust of the representatives se- lected in other countries but the op- portunity for increased efficiency through Americans will in all proba- bility not be disresarded.
