WfuS-Bloun Vapors Even Infections To Many People—Others Not Bothered, i

NTCW YORK, Sept. 2.—Dr. L. K. Hirshberg, of John Hopkins university, in a lecture horw a few days ago on poison ivy, delivered some remarks which will be read with interest bv ninny people who have suffered from thi* abomination. He s«id:

The chemical substance which flies hither and yon from the species of ivy— i u.s tax i cod en ron—and which spreads upon your skin like water blisters, is not able to penetrate the hide of evervbody. To some it is no more than the milk of hnman kindness to others it Is a rank poison.

Whether from ivy, oak. muwtard polk, hernes, thapsia, the common orange, arnica or pven carnations, it seems to be strongly irritant and mischievous to the flesh of the susceptible.

It is no mark of genius to avoid poison ivy, once this abomination has paid you its first unwelcome visit. It is, however, typioad of a weak will and a. stupid absence of intelligence not to employ & wise precaution in avoidance, of ihi.s plant afterward. t^'Idom does the victim go to the trouble to acquaint himself with the partioul.u- I y ie of ivy responsible for lu.vt Annoyance,

Perhaps the suffering mortal will find hut little consolation in the fact that goat/!, horses and mules seldom if ever show signs of

ivy or oak poison. They

am ho fond of it that thrv eat it. Indeed, crows and woodpeckers relish the seeds and thus help to perpetuate and distribute the plant.

This tar vegetation seems to thrive in almost any kind of soil. It grows and thrives in a curiously artistic fashinn. Roadside slumps, fences, trees, stone walls and other available things are seized upon and decorated by poison ivy and nak aj if directed by some unseen hand.

Tt Is TWcaWal* Trtore to the southern

rtAtes

than elsewhere. May and June re its favorable bloom month*, although it aippears later also. It is a scentless plant, which ranges from Maine to Florida, and all through the west. Tt is a member of the sumac .family with white flowers tinged with

KT*wn or yello^r. Its fruit is a smaJl. white berry, and Its leaves are dtvldod into three oval-shaped leaflets, sometimes downy underneath. It climbs Its way along fences or meadows by means of rootlets.

The active substance of the samac family of plants attacks those who are susceptible, who have an "anaphylaxis" to it as persons who break out in hives, oedema, asthma, hay fever, and the like are anaphysaetic to berries, crabs or what not.

Not merely direct cofltfwt, Tmt wtnflblown vapors of the volatile output of the plant may cause the swollen, itchy water blister of poison ivy. The face, eyelids or wrist may be swollen, or It may spread from these to the whole -surface of the anatomy.

Almost specific is the remedy, namely, one part of fluid extract of grlndelia robusta to fonr parts of water. This is smeared or painted over the affected area, and soon disposes of the unpleasant visitation. Tt is quick and thorough in its results, which is more than can be said of those ancient, broken reeds, zinc ointment, lead water and laudanum and the other things which "grandma told us about."

RINTELEN A RELATIVE KAISER WI1ILM

This Is Said to Explain Keen Interest of Berlin In New York .Prisoner.

irew YORK, Sept 2.—Franz RinteIcn, the man of mystery tn whose welfare the imperial German government had displayed a notable degree of interest in the three years in which he has been- in Knglish and American prisons, was so ill yesterday thai an order of Attorney-General Gregory transferring him^ from the Tombs prison to the Essex county Jail at Newark could not be carried out. Bintclon is said to have tuberculosis in an advanced stage and to be gener-' ally so weak that h« cannot walk.

The German government in May demanded the exchange of Rintelen for one Siegfried Paul Tyondon, a man held in Germany as a spy, whose status as an American citizen was questioned by Secretary arising in a defiant answer to the German threat of reprisals "upon Americans in Germany if Rintelen were not released.

Germany's efforts in behalf of Rintelen have been persistent since he was seized bf Great Britain while frying to make his way back to Germany under a.n assumed name with a false passport tn 1»1S. The efforts to release him have been so numerous that, he has taken on a far larger importance in the eyes of the British and American authorities than he had as the custodian and paymaster of a vast fund designed to embroil the United States in internal and international difficulties.

British Reject Exchange^

Soon after -his capture by Great Britain Germany offered to exchange Dr. Henri Severin Bcland, ex-post-master-general of Canada, for him. After this offer was rejected Germany offered any ten officers Great Britain might pick from among captives in Germany. The number was increased to twenty, then 'to twenty-three.

While these offers were being made and rejected in series the United fitat* completed negotiations for the i of Rintelen to this country. Jcle was tried in the federal district court here in t]ne summer of 1917 for conspiring with David Lamar and others to stop the exporting of war supplies to the allies by canslng strikes in munitions factories. He was sentenced to serve a year and a day. This sentence he Is now serving.

Rintelen was later canrictedt, on other charges growing out of his activities as a German spy, propagandist and paymaster, and he is due to serve over three years in the Atlanta penitentiary when he completes his first sentence in November next

Germany tried persistently to hak the criminal prosecutions of Rintelen here and to ameliorate his condition as a prisoner before the supreme effort in the form of the ultimatum demanding his exchange for Liondon. The German government contended that Rintelen was a military prisoner net liable to criminal prosecution.

May Be Kin of Kaieer.

Germany's interest in the prisoner has been guessed at but' never explained. One report has him a blood relative of the kaiser, another as a high official of the Deutsche bank in Berlin and a business and social intimate of the crown prince and Prince Henry of Prussia. A third report was that the man was really Duke Adolf of Mecklenburg -Sch werin.

Rintelen is abortt 43 years old. At the time of his trials here his manner had the assurance of one used to positions of authority. As a prteorier he has caused the federal authorities a good deal of trouble. In the Tomfcs he planned an escape that was frustrated by Israel Karovsky, a trusty. He was sent to the Westchester jail de luxe, at East View, after his conviction, but nfter a few mouths was transferred back to the Tombs prison.

On two occasions since then Prancis G. CafTey. United States attorney, has sent aids in haste to the Tombs to investigate reports that Rintelen had tried to kill himself.

Rintelen's poor physical condition Vramf known a^ the time Germany demanded him in exchange for London.

That Rintelen was critically ill became evident yesterday when Joseph (OTTaherty and John McQuade. two deputy "United States marshals, appeared at the Tombs prison with the attorney-general's order transferring Rintelen to Newark. Warden John Hanlfv told the deputy marshals that Rintelen's condition was so bad that he could not be moved.

Germans Are Outfought.

The extension of the line through Juvigny was a dramatic addition to the already brilliant record of the division that accomplished it. The German officers were outmaneuvered and their men were outfought.

Eenemy machine guns proved a terrible barrier to the progress of the Americans, but it was not enough. And when all was over the German unwittingly added a final touch of tragedy when they dropped a hig£ explosive shell into the midst of 187 prisoners that the Americans hid removed to the rear. Five German captives were killed and scores were terribly wounded.

When tlie objective of General Pershing's men finally was attained the Germans within the town were caught napping. The Americans had managed completely to encircle them. German machine guns and trench mortars all were pointed to the west and the northwest, but the assailants appeared out of an arc drawn about their rear.

Americana Take Prisoner*. The mopping up of the town and positions immediately adjacent to it netted the Americans 225 prisoners. The German dead have not yet been counted. The number is big.

Two days ago, American patrols were in Juvigny and a mile and a half beyond it. The retention of the town was assumed but the Germans were not exhausted and their determination to contest the advance of the new enemy who had appealed, resulted in the repetition of the experiences of certain American divisions north of the river Marne, when town after town passed back and forth before the Germans were definitely pushed back.

Thursday night, when an American detachment escorted by tanks entered .Tuvigny the German line once more was behind the railroad to the west of the town. There a tremendous struggle began, the Germans employing every faculty to hold their positions, not only in front of the Americans but in front of the French.

STERN MEASURES TO COME BEFORE PEOPLE

Reader Says Foreign Language Press and Unpatriotic Propaganda Most Go.

Editor of The Tribune: The Doctor Rumley revelations have proved to every American that the railing point in this country from all of the kaiser's anti-American plotters have been the German language publications. This system was used to foster a propaganda that'certainly intended to destroy this country and her ideals, and her Institutions, and turn this republic for which loya.l Americans have fought and died over to the kaiser to its complete subjugation and enslavement.

Senator King, of Utah, has introduced a bill denying the use of the mails to any publication printed In the language of a country with which we are at war. It is aimed particularly at the German language newspapers which have failed to take warning from the events of the last few months.

No doubt, these Hun language sheets will cease to exist in time, through lack of financial support, hut why wait? Why compel the patriotic majority to suffer insult at the hands of an alien press, while waiting for it to be choked to death by the slow process of the withdrawal of publio support? Suppose the kaiser, for reasons of his own, thinks it advisable to keep German papers going at "strategic" points in the United States, hoping thereby to ameliorate the feeling toward Germany, and resume his propaganda work at the conclusion of the war. He has ample financial resources and unscrupulous agents enougn In Mexico, if not in this country, to Pee that this is done, regardless of whether these publications pay expenses in the meanwhile.

Of course, the German language papers all claim to be loyal now. So do the members of congress who are being nipped off relentlessly by their* constituents because of pro-German records. Apply the same acid test to the various German language newspapers, still appealing for public favor. Go back to their files and see where they stood on the McI/more resolution, the Lusitania sinking, the arms embargo, the declaration of wr*r and conscription. That will show where they stood at the time, and it will also be found that no one of them has i-enounced its former stand, no matter how sweetly American its preseut tone may be.

This country can never be 100 per cent American while it encourages foreign solidarity among its people. The greatest inducement to foreign •solidarity is a foreign-language press. The German language press is especially dangerous, because it is more ably edited and more firmly intrenched than any other. It was for yeara^ihe exponent of German propaganda, and it is ready to resume operations at the first favorable opportunity.

Abolish the German language press in the United States and the kaiser's lajst foothold in this country will be gone. Allow it to remain, and it will be the rallying point for un-American ideas. The King bill is a step in the right direction.. It should be passed.

We have been too soft and timid In these matters, a condition due to our professional politicians who have coddled these elements while they aimed at our destruction. We have got to face this matter, and we have got to face a more restricted immigration, if we are going to keep America for Americans.

SWEETLY EXPRESSED.

Not for worlds would Mr*. Smith speak an unkind word about anyone. She was one of those charitable old ladies who try to think and speak kindly of every one. If anyone asked her opinion of a person, and she did not particularly like the individual in question, she would express her feelings in such a quaint and original way that the sting would be quite lost. "What, a brilliant conversationalist young Mr. Jenkins is!" said a friend to her one day. "Do you know him? Really, it's an education to lisfen to him talking." "Yes," said gentle Mrs. Smith, "I have met him." "Ton must have found him very entertaining. Why, he can talk cleverly and wittily for an hour at a stretch." "Then when I met him." said Mrs. Smith, with a swe^t smile, "it must have been at the beginning of the second hour."

CALLED TO SERVICE.

Dr. Roscoe Hyde, formerly of the faculty of the Indiana .State Normal school and one of the professors transferred to the Muncie branch, has been called to government service for research work in the biological laboratory of Johns Hopkins university. The work will be under the direction of the surgeon general of the armv in the study of the causes, prevention and cure of pneumonia.

after long premeditation, drew Austria and Germany into this war are permitted to control the defttinies and the daily fortunes of men and nations, plotting while honest men work, laying the fires of which innocent men, women and children are to be fuel.

Industry Must Sustain War. I "You know the nature of this war, it is a war that industry must sustain. The army of laborers at home is as important, as essential as the army of fighting men in the far fields of actual battle. And that laborer is not only needed as much as the soldier. It is his war. The soldier is his champion and representative. To fail to win would be to imperil everything that the laborer has striven for and held dear since freedom first had its dawn and his struggle for justice began. "We may count upon each other. The nation is of a single mind. It is taking counsel with no special class. It li serving no private or single interest. Its own mind has been cleared and fortified by tb«*e days which burn the dross away. The light of a new conviction has penetrated to every class amongst us. We realize as we never realized before that we are comrades, dependent upon one another, irresistible when united, powerless when divided and so we join hands to lead the world to a-new and better day."
