All Germans Are Suspects 1 CHRISTIANIA. Sept. 16. —(Corre- ! ' spondence of the Associated Press. • German conspirators, spies and propa gandists. formerly so active in the Unit ed States, seemed to have transferred their attention to Norway. A series of tires in steamships and manufactories is blamed on the plotters. Others are charged with helping interned German sailors to escape. Espionage is freely engaged in and some Germans have been caught at it and sent to Jail. Propa gandists for many months have been trying to spread a thick layer of pro- Germanism over the country. Every day plots or some assault against Norwegian institutions, citizens or property are brought to light. The situation has become such that pa triotic Norwegians have come to look upon every German with more or less suspicion. This feeling is the result, i primarily, of the admission made by two German spies Captain Lowen and Petty Officer Schwartx, who were tried, con victed and sentenced to five and four years, respectively, in the penitentiary. They said that no matter how they felt about the matter, a German must do anything he was ordered to do by Ber lin The newspapers have warned Nor wegians to distrust every German, and the warning in many cases is being heeded The police now charge that they know the correspondent in Christiania of the frankfurter Zeitung, who has been re ceived by government officers, has been closely associated with German spies here and with a Norwegian named Hagn, who is under arrest in England. The correspondent of the Zeitung is now on a "vacation” in Stockholm and the po lice declare that if he returns to the | country he will be arrested. The other day the newspapers were filled with articles dealing with one, of the professors of the polytechnical college of Trondhjem. a native of Ger- j many, who for the last few years has been in the service of the Norwegian ; government. He admitted freely that he had dealings with members of the crew of the German auxiliary cruiser Berlin, which is interned there. The professor confessed having assisted members of the crew to pass letters into Germany without being censored. Moreover, he employs a member of the crew as a janitor in the college, thereby giving the man opportunity to move around the city at will and keep in communication with German steamers leaving port, who, in turn, report anything of value to Ger man submarines off the coast. In ad dition, several citizens of Trondhjem have been sent to jail or fined for help ing officers from the Berlin to escape. It- is not long since a fire in Trondh jem harbor destroyed a large warehouse where provisions from England, destined for Russia were stored No Norwegian doubts for a moment that this fire was started by German agents. Another fire destroyed a factory and a million cans of condensed milk and cream whic*h were to be shipped to Eng land. No direct evidence against Ger mans has been- found in this case, but the circumstances lead to strong suspi cions. A series of mysterious fires and ex plosions have damaged Norwegian ships carrying cargoes for England and there is no doubt that infernal machines have been employed. The police are virtually certain ’.hat tlie bombs used were somewhat similar to those placed aboard British ships leaving New York by Germans. Savannah Man With 1 Pershing Force Dead; Other Deaths Announced WASHINGTON.

Sut ter. secretarj of local exemption board No. 1, to obtain exemption from mili tary service for Louis The trio were indicted charged with mak ing false statements to the exemption officials.

POCKETED PROCEEDS OF SEED AND COTTON CAMILLA, Ga, Sept. 28.—Sylvester Williams, a negro living on the place of Mr. J. W.

Jackson, director of the state | ; bureau of markets. Saturday issued a I statement In which he urged farmers not :to sacrifice velvet beans. Mr. Jackson I said: "It has been brought to the attention j of the Georgia state bureau of markets that some mills In Alabama have gone into *the country and made contracts for future supplies of velvet beans at prices entirely too low considering the food value of velvet bean meal. In order to ' arrive at some idea of a fair valuation I' of this product the bureau has made careful investigation and finds taht the I actual food value of pure velvet bean I meal Is greater than that of cottonseed I meal. This has no to its value 1 as a fertiliz.er. •• "This test as to food value shows that in calculating the protein, carbohydrate ■ and fat contents the velvet bean meal : , yields 150,520 calories to the 100 pounds, j whereas, 7 per cent cottonseed meal only | i yields 140,660 calories to the 100 pounds, i It is further shown that velvet bean ■ meal made from the bean and the pod I mixed yields 139.912 calories to the 100 j pounds This is practically the same as • 7 per cent cottonseed meal, which is sell- - ing around sl4 per ton. It must also be borne In mind that the manufacturing expense o'n velvet bean meal is nowhere near as much as that on cottonseed meal. ‘The fanners of the state should fig ure over this carefully before entering into future contracts for supply velvet beans.” Peanuts and Live Stock Best Weevil Fighters (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

It provides a schedules of rates based on advertising, and reading matter. This, however, is not effective until July 1. 1918. The income tax section remains vir tually as passed by the senate. Sur taxes were agreed upon as follows; One per cent on incomes over $5,000 and less than $7,500; 2 per cent between $7,500 and $10,000; 3 per cent between SIO,OOO and $12,500; 4 per cent between $12,500 and $15,000; 5 per cent between $15,000 and $20,000; 7 per cent between' $20,000 and $40,000; 10 per cent between $40,000 and $60,000; 14 per cent between $60,000 and $80,000; 18 per cent between SBO,OOO and $100,000; 22 per cent between SIOO.- 000; and $150,000; 25 per cent between $150,000 and $200,000; 30 per cent between $200,- 000 and $250,000; 34 per cent between $250,000 and $300,000; 37 per cent be tween $300,000 and $500,000; 40 per cent between $500,000 and $750,000; 45 per cent between $750,000 and $1,000,000, and 50 per cent on incomes exceeding $1,000,- 000.

Already they are selling at mid-winter prices—butter at from 45 to 55 cents a pound, eggs at 50 to 60 cents a dozen. Why these high prices? • Will they continue to advance propor tionately during the winter? If so, $1 eggs and butter by Christmas may be expected. Isn’t Herbert Hoover going to do any thing about it? * These are the questions every house wife is asking. Butter and eggs con stitute a sort of fixed charge against the table, an index by which the housewife gauges her expenditures. To answer the last question first, Hoover is going to do something about it Present prices are high both because there is a shortage in production and i an Increased demand, and also because | butter and eggs followed the general upward foodstuffs movement while con gress was squabbling over food control. The butter shortage is shown by the fact that In spite of the high prices, which would tend to restrict consump tion, 10 per cent less butter has gone Into storage than a year ago. Also, storage eggs September 1 were only 3 per cent ahead of the same date, 1916. Government figures show 94,644,780 pounds of creamery butter in storage September 1, as against 105,836,003 pounds September 1. 1916 —a decrease of 10.6 per cent. Os farm and packing but ter, commonly sold as ’’renovated” but ter, the shortage was still greater, be ing 1,495,028 pounds against 3,695.074 pounds, or a decrease of 59.5 per cent. Cold storage eggs on hand September 1, were 5,765,474 cases against 5,600,199 cases last year. This was an actual de crease for August of 613,908 cases. Nor mally. eggs move into storage, not out, during August. The butter shortage is blamed on the summer’s high grain and beef prices, which made it more profitable to sell cattle for beef. Also, because the dairy herds of Europe have been sacrificed, the export demand for butter has trebled. Following soaring prices for beef and pork, prices fdr poultry have been so high as to induce farmers to deplete their flocks of chickens, cutting off egg production. But —the fpod administration believes, butter and ekg prices can be regulated so as to prevent any considerable furth er advance during the winter. The plan has been decided upon and it is 'hoped to have the system in operation Octo ber 1. The power to handle these product* lies in the authority to license storag* houses and wholesale dealers, and It ir to be exercised to the limit. Calomel Loses You a Day’s Work!
