ous documents shedding light on the German system for blowing 'up munition factories and practicingUabotage and espionage in various forms have be.en assembled by the department of Justice in preparation for disclosure, it was said today, but officials have not determined what part of these it would be wise to give out or when it might be done without interfering with activities of government agents still in progress. The disclosures of A. Bruce Btelaskl, chief of the bureau of investigation, before the senate committee -invcstl- j gating propaganda, constitute only a small part of the evidence of German practices gathered by the department's agents in the last two years. Mr. Rielaski has taken care to confine himself to propaganda, it was pointed out, and this virtually was a separate branch of German work in this country, both before and after the United States entered the war. Ordinarily propaganda was carried on by a distinctly different group of German agents or pro-German Americans, and the chief German agents took great pains to keep knowledge of sabotage plans from these propagauists.

Announcement of the course will interest a number of persons in shis city, several of whom probably will attend. The impoitance of poultry has become more marked within the last few days and this phase of the farming industry is coming in for closer attention every year. Those who attend the short ccurse will have at their disposal every facility that the university offers in this work. Classes will be conducted at Purdue poultry farm and the farm Itself will be the laboratory where the men will meet to discuss and actually work out problems whihh every poult ryman encounters.

tude so much higher than the sea level camp would cure him. But the job he took required heavy muscular exertion and long hours and his health dwindled fast. A physician gave him some medicine and told him to "rest up," but Dan construed that as "go broke" when his parents could not afford to board him free. Accordingly he kept working and growing weaker. Before long both the chairman of the local Red Cross Chapfer and- the secretary of the mitt-tuberculosis society for that county received his name and address from the National Tuberculosis Association and Dan received a friendly call. The nurse reported that it was impossible for him to recover his health at his home, even if he made it his sole business to rest, for the old folks believed that consumption was incurable and that "night air" was bad for one with lung trouble. The windows of his bedroom were cloved and cracks calked up with a' cloth. Through the influence of the nurse and Bed Cross workers Dan secured an expert medical examination free. The Red Cross Chapter nssured him

cess to the latest experimental data and the newest ideas in poulrry work. More details of -the course may be obtained from the County Agent or by writing the Poultry Depaitment of Purdue University.

that if his aged" parents came to want when he was at the sanatorium they would receive the aid that the Red Cross provides for the soldier's family, and he consented to go to' a tuberculosis sanatorium. The stories in this article are true, and scores of others like them can be drawn from the records of the Home Service workers of the Red Cross and of the anti-tuberculosis societies. It is an interesting piece of machinery that has been established over, the country, to care for I he men whom tuberculosis keeps out of the army anil, for their dependents at home. The chief features of the machinery are the office of the Surgeon General of the Army, the Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis Association and its allied associations in the fortyeight states. The process of salvage and reconstruction begins when the Surgeon General sends the National Association the name of the discharged soldier or the man rejected at the'v camp before Uncle Sam recognizes him as a soldier.

After thus locating the sick man the Red Cross, through Its Home Service, undertakes to provide such relief, food and clothing and the like as may be needed. The task of the tuberculosis societies is to secure medical treatment, sanatorium care and Instruction in health. It all counts in morale as well as conservation of national strength. The Red Cross and the tuberculosis associations vork together hand in hand in this campaign. Too often the rejected soldier will not surrender to the passive life prescribed by the sanatorium until the Red Cross re

The other was sent home with the white plague. "There is tO.(H) taxes to be paid," sobbed the aged mother to the tuberculosis nurse. "They took one of my boys, and sent the other one back too French Soldiers Show Interest in Y. M. C. A. Ten members of the French Armyband registered at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday morning and spent the day and night there. "We're army men," one of the Frenchmen explained to the secretary, "and we can't keep away from les Foyer des Soldats. No at all when we have an opportunity." The men showed great interest in American Y. M. C. A. methods.

First, provision was made to help the mother over the emergency; then funds derived from Red Cross seals sold In the county last December were drawn on to meet the expense in sending her boy and future support to the sanatorium. After only four months he returned home, strong enough to work and defy taxes. Many a young man predisposed by stoop shoulders and low vigor to succumb to tuberculosis has been given a firm stand In good health, both eet down, by army training; but for a good many others tuberculosis had seized such a hold, before the outdoor life and wholesome exercise of military training could ward it off, that rejection or discharge was inevitable. For those who had tuberculosis all unknown to themselves the war is proving a blessing through the medical examinations that direct them to secure treatment before It Is too late. This year the support of the associations whose trained workers are fighting tuberculosis is not to be left dependent largely on the sale of the Red Cross Christmas seals. In fact

Each member will be entitled to ten seals, messenger.-! of health for him and the country. The entire program of the tuberculosis assocjatlons is considered "war work," although the portion relating directly to tuberculous soldiers or recruits described in this article is but a single phase. The campaign In which the Red Cross Is backing tho associations applies to all diseases, for the hygiene taught builds up resistance to other diseases as well as tuberculosis. The campaign reaches the children, the coming workers who must bear the burden left by the war. Children are rallying by hundreds of thousands as members of the "Modern Health Crusade." In promoting this latter day and very practical crusade the Junior Red Cross has joined bands with the National Tuberculosis Association.
