Did German Spies Bum This Elevator?

WASHINGTON.— A. demand that the German government produce its official records showing the activities of Its spies In the United States during the war Is made in a brief tiled with the mixed claims commission on aehalf of the Kentucky Public Elevator company. The elevator company is claiming damages of $1,000,000 for the destruction by incendiarism of a wooden elevator with a capacity of 500,000 bushels of grain. It is charged that the elevator was destroyed as a purt of the activities of the spies of the German government. The case is unique in that it Is the first time that such a demand has been made upon the German government, j The brief, which was filed by Attorneys Louis A. McGowan and C. C. ; Calhoun, sets forth that this demand i Is justified by Article 23 of the treaty >of Versailles, which provides that: The German government undertakes

Increased Trade With Latin America

WITH exports to Europe declining as industries of the war-stricken countries get back on their feet, department of commerce officials are Imj pressed with the opportunity of Amer--1 lean business men to increase their I trade with Latin-America. ! Increased funds available for the i bureau Os foreign and domestic commerce of the Department of Commerce have given a new opportunity for expanding the promotion work on behalf of American exporters, which Is being done in Central and South America. Exactly twice as much money Is to be available during the fiscal year which has just commenced for promoting commerce with South and Central I America as the bureau had for this purpose during the fiscal year 1919-20. I The new appropriation for this one purpose Is $200,000. Secretary of Comi merce Hoover recommended to the budget bureau an appropriation of S’J.-ji.hmi f,<r ;h.s purpose, but lhe budget director cut the sum to $200,000 f which met the approval of con- • gross. This amount, besides being twice as great as the nuo available in

INCREASE of the regular peacelime army of 15,000 officers and 150.000 men in order to permit all v.-ar round in^iruction <if “civilian components of the army of the I’nit.Hl-States.” was urged in a resolution adopted unanimously by the national council of the Reserve Officers’ association in Indianapolis. The resolutions were received by Secretary Weeks and sent to the War department budget committee, which Is I laboring with next year’s estimates, f Action of the reserve officers was not disclosed at the time. The declaration relative to peace-time strength nf the regular army was made in view of the "indications that an effort will be made at the next session of congress to reduce' the present strength” lof the regular establishment. I The council speaks for the Assocfaj tion of Res.-ne Officers which includes a great majority of the 70.000 men of the reserve lists. It asserted that about 5.000 regular officers and fIO.OOO men were wholly or partially employed In summer training camps work and that “this number is deemed Inadequate to give necessary Instruction” to the limited personnel now authorized to attend the camps. The regular army officer corps is j now less than the 12,000 total to which

Women’s Efficiency in Executive Jobs

ff w.- —— ———— — MRS. MINNIE FISHER CUNNINGHAM. executive secretary of the National League of Women Voters, discussed the Question of women's efficiency in executive jobs, as revealei by what ; they do and what is said of them. “In the government." she said, j “without attempting tn make a complete list, one thinks iugnediately of Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, civil service commissioner; of Mrs Margaret Wilson, patent expert and chief of the trading with the enemy division of the federal trade commission—one of ; its four principal bureaus; of Mrs. Mabel Walker Wlllehrandt. assistant attorney general, now handling prohibition law; of Miss Grace Abbott chief of the children's bureau, and Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the worn an'% bureau. “One executive said he had found that able women are much more likely than able men to shun resiwnslbUit.v “The same charge that women are dependent In their attitude of mind was brought to us over in the post-

to furnish all documents and information of every kind the production of which may be considered necessary to Insure the full knowledge of the Incriminating acts, the discovery of offenders and the just appreciation of responsibility.” Although the United States was not a party to the treaty of Versailles. It is declared that the obligations of Germany under the treaty are pledged to the United States in the treaty of peace approved Oct. 18. 1921, and the agreement of Aug. 10, 1922. The grain elevator of the Kentucky Public Elevator company was destroyed on Feb. 25, 1917, before the United States entered the war. It is contended that the total destruction of several large grain elevators In various sections of the United States was a part of the plot of German agents to buy up all the grain, or. failing in that, to destroy the available wheat supply in America.

1919-20, represents an increase of $29,350 over the appropriation for promoting commerce with South and Central America during the last fiscal year. Extension of the promotion work in Latin-America is one of the pet projects of Dr. Julius Klein, director oi the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, because of his personal experience in that Held. When arrangements are completed for the expanded work in Latin* America the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce will have men stationed at ten or a dozen strategic points. Out of the increased .funds it has been decided to open a new office at Bogota, Colombia. Seven regular offices have been maintained in Central and South America during the last year. Commercial attaches are stationed at Havana, Cuba; Mexico City, Mexico; Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I'.nen >s Aires. Argentina. Trade toni- | missioners are stationed tn Peru and Colombia. These existing offices are to be strengthened by the addition of minor employees.

it was cut last year and there is littk prospect that forthcoming budget fig ures will ask for any Increase, whatever recommendations may be inadt i by army officials otherwise to congress. The .reserve officers’ organiza< tlon, however, declared that further reductions in regard to personnel must be made ut the expense of the reserve and National Guard training work, as it was “impracticable” to cut further i the foreign garrison or "overhead’ commissioned staffs, i The resolution also provides for development and maintenance at high i efficiency of a plan “which will pro vide in the event of an emergency’’ for 1 a selective service system that will insure swift and sure supply of per ' sonnel to the armed forces, declared the support of the National Guard to • be “essential to the perfection of the i • national defense” and urge reserve of- ' I fleers to work for "active co-operation and support of the people In support > of the National Guard ” ! For the organized reserves, the na I ; tional council asked especially that • congress provide $4,000,000 next year ’ to “penult the establishment and -1 maintenance of the efficiency of all j units”; and Indorsed the plan for “unit »j training” of the reserve as being i j worke<l out by the War department.

Daddy’s Fairy Tale GRAHAM BOHNER. Ml—■■■! — CO*>aiGMT V YWn* WfWMMIR UMW ■ 11 —* GENTIAN FLOWERS “There are so many of us.” said the Marsh Pink, which, too, was a member of the Gentian Flower family. "My flowers are pink with five petals and yellow J centers. Zi “Around these yellow centers you 8e e little touches of red, and my flowers are single. “I love the sea coasts. Many flowers do not They do not like the queer salty _ marshes as I do. “Fringed Gentian - But my delight, and so are they the delight of all members of the Marsh Pink family. We're also known as the Sea Pink Gentians. There is a cousin of ours known as the Fringed Gentian. "Fringed Gentian is bell-shaped and wears almost always the favorite color of the Fringed Gentian family. That color Is blue. "Oh. how Fringed Gentian does lore blue, and such a color of blue do the members of that family always get It Is a blue like the sky when the sky is very, very deep blue. “It Is that wonderful shade of blue which is so gorgeous and yet which is so hard to describe. Fringed Gentian is loved by many and the family have always been popular. "The ends are fringed and the fringe ends of those flowers are simply loved by people. "At night they close up their petals, hiding their pretty faces from view as they sleep, just as the birds keeQ their heads under their wings at night "There are members of the Fringed Gentian family known as the Smaller Fringed Gentians and the Stiff Gentians. “But Fringed Gentian, of which I am speaking, you will find in the moist, quiet woods. "Fringed Gentian loves the life of the woods. It is so peaceful, and so beautiful. It is the Ideal place, they think, in which to live, though sometimes they like the meadows, too, especially where the meadows are near streams and are somewhat moist. “For Fringed Gentian likes water as i we do, only we prefer salty water to fresh water. “Fringed Gentian shows its pretty head from out green leaves which have kept it hidden until it is time for it to be out “1 cannot help loving and talking about my beautiful relative, too! "Then there is the Closed Blue or Blind Gentian. They are all fond of darker blue In their costumes. And you find clusters of them, all tightly closed, grouped together between leaves. You can’t mistake them for they are all closed and so they have this family name which is really very fitting. They, too, like moisture and dampness. And you will be very apt to find them If you look for them in damp thickets. “They, too, have the Gentian family way of caring about the middle and latter part of the summer best "Then there are the relatives of Closed Blue Gentian—the Soapwort Gentians, the Yellowish Gentian and the Bog Gentian which has very narrow leaves. “But I advise you to look hardest for Fringed Gentian, for though they say I wear a pretty pink frock, and though I look bright and pleasant. Fringed Gentian is a very unusual flower. • “They say it Is nice that I grow j where there Isn’t so very much color. Just as I think It is nice of Butterfly Weed to grow where fields are dry and where many flowers cannot stand the dryness. Butterfly Weed can and so it does that. Ido not understand Butterfly Weed myself. I could not stand it in dry fields. And if a flower can’t stand it. then it is sad. For a flower then has ■■ j to droop.
