mittees and groups which aspire to
be the nucleus Of the national or.
ganization which propaganda is now
working in the interest of Germany
and in the United States with the
hope to build up for the purpose
stated above.
Tdentiied with this movement are
individuals whose disloyalty and
whose efforts in the interest Of Ger.
many have been notorious in the past
and who are now again in direct COM
munication with Berlin.
National headquarters has re-
ceived reports of pro-German activi-
ties from many sections Of the coun-
try which appear to connect directly
with the national propaganda cam
paign here outlined.
Department officials are request
ed to make note of any dramatic &C
tivities in their community and to
forward actual and complete reports
of same to natiolal headquarters"
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant OF
the legion, said there was little he
could add publicly at this time, but
in a formal statement supplementing
the bulletin he said:
"The greatest check to a movement
of this kind will come from those
citizens of Teutonic extraction OF
whose loyalty and sincerity there car
be no doubt"

LEGION WOULD
CHECK PROPAGANDA
WARNING SENT TO ALL POSTS
FROM HEADQUARTERS
TO BE ALERT.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2o.-Ameri'
can Legion posts throughout the
United States were asked tonight by
the legion's national headqusrser:
here to watch for a revival of Ger
man propaganda in this country.
A bulletin sent out by the national
headquarters said the object Of the
propaganda seemed intended to turn
American sentiment against tie al
lies, and to create q powerful ma
tional political machine by the ANAL
gamation of the disloyal elements in
our population"
Mass MEETINGS in New York, Phila-
delphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwau-
kee, Louisville, Omaha and Cleve-
land have been planned. the bulletin
said, as zone Of the first national man
ifestations" Of the propaganda CAM
paign. The bulletin which was sent
to all state headquarters of the legion,
said:
"There has come TO the attention
of the national headquarters infor-
nation indicating a move for q na-
tionwide revival of German propa-
ganda activities in the United States
which are the result Of a carefully
directed national campaign, the OBJ
ject Of which seems to be:
"First. The disruption OF the ac-
cord which exists between the United
States and our allies with particular
reference to France and Great Bri-
tain by turning Of American pop
ular sentiment against the govern
merts Of those countries; and
"Second. The methodical creation
of a powerful national political ma
chine by the amalgamation OF the
disloyal elements Of our population
and their elevation to a place OF
power in American affairs by the in
visible influence Of this oragnized
minority. One of the first national
manifestations of this cativity will
probably take the form Of series OF
mass meetings throughout the coun-
try, ostensibly in protest against the
occupation of the Rhine by French
negro troops from Africa. The al
legged presence of French colonials
is to be used as a motive to turn
American sentiment against France.
Negro troops were withdrawn from
the French army of occupation
months ago. While there, their con-
duct was excellent, according to Of
fetal reports from the American am
bassador at Paris to the state de-
partment at Washington.
at has been planned to hold Sc
ries of such mass meetings in New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chi
caso, Milwaukee, Omaha, Cleveland
and other cities. In all of these cities

people sing and smile. Spitzbergen,
land of pleasure, of comfort and of
ease! The cold they cannot measure.
for mercury will freeze; amid those
wholesome rigors no voter ever
figures on flies or ants or chiggers,
on skeeters, bugs or fleas. OF that
fair land I'm dreaming when L to
roost repair. the perspiration
streaming from brow and cheeks
and hair; how I would like to wan
der among the icebergs yonder and
see the grounding ponder within its
frozen lairl 1t seems a thing sur-
prising thai all men do not go where
winds are always rising, n there is
always snow; why do we shilly-
shally? Why don't we straightway
sally to some far northern valley
and sit upon a foe? ~Spitzbergen is
inviting the weary to her doors; h
beckons, at this writing, she beckons
and implores; why are we here re-

Protecting Food
BY DIR. r. II. BISHOP

There Is no excuse for waste ana
neglect resulting from allowing
foods to spoil during hot weather.
The economical housewife as well
as the careful n never buys so
much food that it can spoil. nor
does she allow it to lie around after
buying it without putting it away in
the proper places.
She knows too well that such
waste and carelessness not only is
inefficient but is also dangerous to
the members of the family whose
meals che is preparing.
1t is an important factor in keep.
ing the family we'll to see that no
spoiled foods are cooked and served
for eating.
There are certain foods that spoi.
quickly unless kept under proper
conditions. Various conditions affect
the wholesomeness of foods, too; for
example, air, the dishes in which
foods are put, the icebox and other
storage places. The foods that spoil
most quickly are cream, milk, In
cooked fresh meats, certain ripe
fruits, such as berries, plums and
peaches, and some of the table vege-
tables.

serbs the juices and therefore should
be removed upon delivery from the
butcher shop. Remove the paper,
wipe the meat with a clean cloth
that has been wrung out in cold
water and then place it in a dish in
the icebox.
Uncooked fish should not be put
in the icebox as doors rise upward,
All strongly Favored foods should
be put on the top shelf of the ice
box.
A cool, dry basement or cellar is
much better for fruits than the ice
box. Ripe fruits quickly spoil and
should be bought in small quanti-
ties.
Butter readily absorbs the odors
from other foods and should be kept
cool and well covered or wrapped,
Eggs should be kept dry and cool.
During the warm summer months
cereals are likely to spoil and SO
should be purchased in small guam.

: What is the largest city in the
world?
THE question arises again with
the British census announcement
which ascribes to Greater London
7,476,16S people," says a bulletin
from the Washington, D. c., head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society.
"Since the 1920 census gave New
York city a population of 5,620,04S,
there would seem to be no question
regarding the relative size of the
two cities. But if one seeks to know
what is the largest population CEN
ter in the world, then New York
can advance a tenable claim against
London for the honor.
Strictly speaking the municipal
ity of New York has more people
than the municipality of London.
For legally, as a municipal unit,
London refers only to the area
within the boundaries of the coun-
ty of London. Thus the municipal
London which corresponds to the
municipal New York, comprises
about 116 square miles and in 1911
bad a population of four and a half
million. Only the Greater London
figures are carried in dispatches, but
at the rate of growth they indicate,
London proper still is under the five
million mark.
Extent of Greater London
1.-The Greater London which has
nearly sever and a half million has
an existence as a metropolitan and
police unit. 1t is municipal London
plus the so-called Outer Ring The
| y A = q I nAn,1A @f gCrAa{A. 1,
den are distributed over 603 square
municipal London, and more than
twice that of municipal New York.
I'm passing 1t should be noted thai
not only is there a distinction be-
tween Greater London and plain
London but that the City of Lon
dom covers only CTS acres and has
a resident population of fewer
than $4,000. The day population.
however, exceeds 100000. The
City of London is the London of
history, with its quaint government
forms including it's lord-mayor
which is installed annually with a
time honored ceremony known as
the lord-mayor's show.
New York of today is an ag-
glomeration of towns. All have been
amalgamated with the original New
York, comprised in what now is the
borough of Manhattan. or the coun
ty of New York. The New York
which includes the borough of
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queen
and Richmond, is a municipal unit
with area of 326 square miles and
a population of ~5,620,04S.
An Imaginary Greater New York
1.-THE Greater London includes
all the suburbs within a radius of
is miles around Charing Cross. By
this definition New York also should
include Jersey City, Hoboken and
Bayonne, across the Hudson, and
Yonkers. Mt. Vernon and New Ro-
chelle to the north.
Suppose New York We're to add
to it's present area the aggregate
273 miles of Hudson, Essex and In
ion counties in New Jersey. 1t still
would be a hundred square miles
smaller than Greater London but
would pass the seven million mark
in population. Were il then to add

PUBLIC OPINION
THE WHISTLE NUISANCE
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
knowing as l do that you are ever
ready to expose any nuisance that
may annoy our city, 1 appeal to you
again. 1t is in reference to the
ty bridge.
We all know that the Raritan river
is a navigable stream and controlled
by the United States government and
1t insists on the right of way of all
crafts propelled by either steam or
sail.
What must be the effect on an in
valid whose nerves are racked with
disease when the blast of the steam
whistle of some steamer blowing for
the drawbridge and continuing to
blow until it awakes a healthy per-
son out of a sound sleep? On several
occasions during the night or early
morning l have been awakened by
the blow, blow, blow of the captain
of some steamer appealing for the
right of way through the draw as the
law requires, which goes to show the
captain of the draw is either deaf,
incompetent or asleep and more than
once l heard the remark he was
asleep. This is not an occurrence of
a day or a week but has been repeat
ed month after month and 1 think
it is the duty of the county board
either to reprimand or dismiss him
and supply a competent person. This
nuisance is kept up at times from
ten to fifteen minutes. There is an
other remedy. the license should be
taken from the captain so offending
Who persists in the nuisance.
Some years ago, by your persistent
efforts you stopped. in a measure, the
blast of the locomotive whistles at
night blowing for the draw. They
usually commence to blow at the
crossing at the New Brunswick ave.
u and continue until they cross
market street. Why this nuisance
when the railroad bridge has a full
crew for such emergencies? Why
not use the same method as was ap-
piled to the trains?
