Another merchant captain who was ta-
ken into the submarine to deliver his
ship's papers, was astounded to see on
the desk of the p-buat's captain copies
of New York papers of that day. It is
admitted that communication is possi-
ble, much of the shore line being such
as to make guarding it difficult or im-
possible. The department be.ieves that
three of the submarines have ceased
operating, but it la/lot known whether
there supplies were exhausted or they
suffered damage. One “ceased operat-
ing" after H’S planes and chasers dropt
depth bombs in the vicinity where it
was last seen. It is estimated that 200
German submarines have been destroy-
ed by the allies and that Germany now
has only MO to 180, or about what It
had when the war began. /
WASHINGTON—The merchant steam-
er Proteus of 3,000 tons was sunk off
Cape Hatteras in collision with anoth-
er steamship, which picked up all of
the Proteus trew. *
PHILADELPHIA—A German subma-
rine was sunk in a running fight with
a British tanker 300 mites off Nantuck-
et last Friday, according to reports of
the tanker's crew. The tanker fired 27
shots and two scored direct hits, f.ame
following one from the U-boat, which
immediately disappeared.
AMSTERDAM—Germany and Austria
have come to an agreement on Poland
—the Poles being permitted no word in
lit. Bv the agreement Auslria is to fur-
nish the Poles a king, but Germany is
to train and control the Pole army, the
Poles, of course, paying the expenses of
the king and army. \ ,—
WASHINGTON—On Sept. I there will
be only 216,000 Ynen in Class i, insuf-
ficient to take care of the September
calls. General Crowder told the House
Military comnyttee. Weekly registration
of men corning of age wiii furnish 80,-
000 more. For October there would be
a deficiency, he said, unless the new
man power bill is immediately enacted
It is purposed, under the new measure,
tn call the men first from 19 to 36 years,
then those from 36 to 45 and finally
those of 18 to 19 years. Tht> bill will
not interfere with men from 18 to 45
goingf into trailring camps to secitre
commissions..
LONDON—There are some indications
noted by military observers here that
the Germans are planning a new of-
fensive against the Americans on the
west front, trying' to crush the Amer-
ican sectors before the full American
strength can be exerted.
WASHINGTON—Disagreement again
has risen between the Treasury depart-
ment and the House, Ways and Means
committee on the new war revenue
masure, the Treasury pratesting against
increases in excess prVflts-tax rates in
the present law. Enastment of the bill
by the last of September, as urged by
Secretary .McAdoo, is an'impossibility,
Senator Simmons of the Senate Finance
committee dec.ared.
WASHINGTON—Plans for direct gov-
ernment loans to stockraisers have now
been completed, with agencies created
at Kansas City and Dal as.
TOKYO—Rioting continues in Japan.
At Kofu Saturday a mob of 4,000 per-
sons attacked stores and set fire to
many houses. The newspapers have
Wfcen forbidden to publish reports of
the rice riots. The opinion is that the
question has become political.
WASHINGTON—A bill authorizing the
the President to take over privately
owned power plants or to build such
p.ants for government purposes was
introduced in the House by Represen-
tative Sims of Tennessee.
WASH INGTON—Exist Ing regula ti ons
in regard to exempting married men in
the draft will be maintained under the
new man power bid, Secretary Baker
advises Senator Chamberlain in a let-
ter. Four classes of married men are
now included in Glass 1, the Secretary
advised—married men who do not sup-
port their wives and families; married
men whose wives support them; mar-
ried men whose wives have adequate
independent means; and men engaged
in useless occupations and who are not
the main or principal supports of^ their
families. . , "*
WASHINGTON—A tax of 8500 on boot-
leggers is proposed bv Representative
Garner of Texas. The Federal tax now
is 825 everywhere on retail ’iquor deal-
ers, but the bill would levy a 8500 tax
on retailers in districts where the Sale
of intoxicants is forbidden.
AMSTERDAM—The Russian newspa-
per Pravda is quoted by a German pa-
per as saying that the Soviet govern-
ment will declare war on the entente.
Kronstadt will probab’y be chosen as
the site of the new Soviet capital.

Parrish’s Honesty Questioned
On Friday, late in the afternoon, be-
fore the first primary, a Spencer sup-
porter from an adjoining county, came
into the store of John L. Curtsinger, at
Bolivar, in this county, to electioneer
with Mr. Curtsinger for Spencer This
man stated then to Mr. Curtsinger, in
sunstance, after Curtsinger 'had stated
that both Parrish and Spencer were
nice men, that he did not know so
much about Parrish and charged that
Parrish borrowed money from a jnan
to pay his expensese while attending
school, and that Parrish never paid all
that money back to tris benefactor, il
so happened, though this Spencer sup-
porter did not at that time know it,
that Mr. Curtslnger’s brother was Mr
Parrish’s benefactor wfio loaned him
the money in question. Mr. John L.
Curtsinger stated to this Spencer sup-
porter “You’re talking to the wrong
man, my. Brother, now deceased, loan-
ed Mr. Parrish that money, and he paid
my Brother every cent of it hack My
Brother to.d me about it and stated
that Mr. Parrish, in partia1 payments,
as. he was able to earn the money, paid
it back and after Parrish had paid the
principal her insisted on paying n»'
Brother the Interest but my brother,
who appreciated Mr. Parrish’s hardship
and desiring to help the stmggling
worthy young, accepted only the prin-
cipal, refusing to let Mr. Parrish pay
any of the interest." Mr. John L. Cur-
tsinger is a merchant at Bolivar who
is entirely trustworthy. He will tell
you about this. Ask him.
This was “An insidious effort tn
create a fa'se and foul impress^ n” as
to Mr. Parrish’s "honesty!

TWO LETTERS
Lincoln’s Letter
Dear Madam: I have, been shown in
(he files of the*war department a state-
ment of the adjutant’ general of Mas-
sachusetts that you are the mother of
five sons who have died g'oriously on
the field of battle. I feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief of a loss so over-
vvhe.ming. But 1 cannot refrain from
tendering to you the consolation that
may be found’ in the thanks of the re-
public they died to save. I pray that
our Heavenly Father may assuage the
anguish of ybur bereavement and leave
you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride
lhat must be yours to have laid so
cosily a sacrifice upon the altar of/
freedom.
The Kaiser’s Letter
“His majesty the kaiser hears that
you have sacrificed nine sons in de-
fense of the fatherland in trie present
war. His majesty is immensely grati-
fied at the fact, and in recognition is
pleased to send you his photograph,
with frame and autograph signature.”
(The woman to whom the above let-
ter, was sent has since become a beg-
gar for food on the streets of Delmen-
hors-Oldenburg;)^

Are women less polygamous by na-
ture than me nor is It just clieum-
stance^ that make them so?
We fell to discussing that matter,
lhe other nijrtit, and the familiar case
t a man in our neighborhood who.
while devoted to his w-ife (apparentlly
ind I have reason to believe,-actually)
had been Simultaneously devoted to
one of the femine clerks in his office*-
This case, of course, reminded us of
others we had known of and vve
sighed the customary’ sigh over the
i^o ygamous instincts of man and then
some one brought up that question.
Is It Because They Have Less Temp-

There is no doubt but that women
are more faithful to the spirit of mo-
nogamy than men. But Is it because
