EVIDENCE CITED
IN INDEMNITY CASE
Code Messages in lndelible
Ink Presented in Petition
for Rehearing.

New evidence in the form OF coded
message scribbled across printed page
in invisible writing fluid was fcited to
the Mixed Claims Commission yester-
day to support alleged German respon-
s,bility for the Black Tenn and Kings
land fires during the World War, for
which the United States is seeking $40,
O0O, 900 ind unity.
Robert w. Bonynge, an American
agent, presented the evidence in sup
Elemental petition for new hearing In
the case involving the two famous in
stances of alleged sabotage.
Bonynge contendnd the coded mes
sage proved Ted WoZniak, whom he has
asserted was responsible for the Kings
land fire January IL, 1917, was Ger
man agent Previous evidence has
indicated Wozniak was near the source
of the fire which destroyed an as
sembly plant for Russian ammunition
The American agent also contended
the message proved a man named Krit-
toff, who had been suspected of start
ing the Black Tenn explosion July 30
1916. which destroyed a Lehigh Valley
freight terminal, also was a German
agent.
The message. which was claimed to
have been written from a German
agent in Mexico to another in this
country, mentioned both men.
The petition filed today also pur-
ported to prove that Wozniak was In
Mexico with German agents in 1917
when he claimed he was in an Adiron-
dack lumber camp.
The Claims Commission last october
decided against the American claim for
$40 900 900 indemnity from Germany or

MCULTRIE, Ga, Dec. 10.-The shrink" system Of farming pays and pays even in hard times.
 Georgia farmers, and especially those of Co-quitt county, whose a2- lieultural plan attracted national attention last year, have found that if fewer acres are tiled the farm has "shrunk" sc-newhat-a5 to land under cultivation.
 But fewer acres can be tended with less work and expense, and Celquitt farmers have found they can make mere on fewer acres than on the bigger area because of the concentrated effort and fer tilizaticn and attention generally.
 Cclquitt county produced more cotton this year than ever, though the acreage had been reduced. Greater volume Of at least four or five other crops was also produced on fewer acres.

 ''Diversification seems to inter- fere very little with cotton produc- ticn. We had this year about the largest watermelon crop we ever had. We had as much tobacco as we ever had, and possibly more.
 we had the biggest peanut crop in history. The corn crop was as large as usual, and there was a larg, potato crop with a lot of hay that followed oats. It did not pre- vent the growing of cotton, though it meant that the cotton must be made on fewer acres than we used a few years ago for the same sized crop"
