Allied Military Police Root Out M chinery Stolen From Belgium During War. •The military police of the Allie armies of occupation'.in the Rhin provinces have made a number of i teresting discoveries in those region during their search for machinery an other stolen material taken out o Belgium and France. German profiteers, under the indu gence, if not with the connivance o the war department` in Berlin, hav atnassed' great fortunes; and have live on the fat of the land,. arousing di gust apparently among the masses o their own compatriots. On more-tha one occasion the arrest of the guilt party has come about through Info mation furnished to the police b some one- among his townsfolk. In Vierson, a Prussian town of spin ning mills, there were found in th possession ot the firm of Pruss an ,Windsen a large number of machin tools, steam hammers and other coati sgnioment. All of these were iwtuall 1.t.e, and one of the three enorrnou 'workshopilin" which' they were 'i ista led had been carried thither, piece, b piece, from Feignies, in Belgium. O the company's books, • this materia was inventoried at $150,000, though i was worth, in reality, about $600.,000 Even at- that, only $17,500 had bee actually paid. An examination of Preuss's corres pondence showed that his resources in 1914 were quite modest but the wa had evidently favored him. At hi residence a stock of cigars and cigar ettes worth $2,500 was discovered. •A single bill for cigarettes amounted_ to $225. That his tastes were not all so distinctively masculine was 'evidenced by- the further discovery -in- his house of a hoard of about a hundred pounds of chocolates and bonbons. . Another concern, known' as the Ma am Automobile Company, was found 0 own a large three-story warehouse t Rheidt, near Gladbach, packed with brand new Belgian, French and Italian motor cars. This company was capi- alized at $5,000, and the cars In its ossession were worth over $500,000. During the investigation into the man er in which they had been acquired Herr Direktor Loysse quite lost his elf -possession to such a degree indeed hat when at last he was caught mak- ng signals to his bookkeeper and ac - used -of the, action he struck the face f the investigating officer, Lieutenant isles. Leysse was arrested and fur- ished bail to the amount of $900,000. "Wumba" Does the Shipping. About a thousand Belgian` machines, all purchased through the German War Department, were found on premises belonging to a pian named Schorch. This furnished a clue which led to the recovery of many others in this vicini- ty. All of them had been shipped by the "Wumba," ostensibly a stock com- pany due to individual initiative, but in reality a creation of the War De- partment in Berlin. When a German manufacturer needed raw material or machinery on easy terms he had to apply to the War Department, which then referred Tits application`. to the, Wumba. (W. U. M. B. A.-Waffen and 'Munitions Beschaffunts Amt, or Office for the Procurement of Arms, anti, Munitions). The Wumba had numer- ous local agencies in the various 'regions of occupied territory and was empowered to order- the dismantling of a given factory in order to supply the German applicant. 111 actual wrecking 'operations were carried out under the direction ,of an. assoc1ation of five principal con- i • tractors for a commission calculated I sp a. percentage basis. Payment was I not made directly tq flee War Depart- --rtrent, but to the *reeking eofnpany whose commission was ordinarily 5I --Per-eente of the total --cost. • Undoubtedly - many machines have been deflected from their normal mis- sion of kindlly ,serrvije to the needs ot.3-Dedee-loving people and so trans- formed for the harsh purposes of mili- tarism - as to be unrecognizable—parts 'have been destroyed or melted for : shrapnel.

The shops and machines that were seised in Gelsenkirchen, at the colleries, are worth millions. Berlin ,Pay the Bill? Many more navies are on the list, showing that the investigations of the police have been ot use in the recov- ery of vast amounts of plunder. but it is doubtful in many cases whether much would be gained by the return of this old material. It has had to be taken apart in order to be transported to these regions. If it is taken apart again to be set up in Belgian factories, the bolts will be loosened, al,, the rivet- ing will have to be cut and made anew. There are manufacturers who would consider the material under such circumstances as little better , than junk. "Why not build new machines, wherever possible,, iiistead of taking back the old? Why not make full use of German industry and man power west of the Rhine for the purpose of supplying new machines? The Allies have this resource at their command. The German industrial workers have moreover agreed to work under the direction of the Allies. Why should not Belgian manufacturers who must re-eggip their- factories apply to the government for the type and number of machines wanted; the government then to place the order with a German flrm, and Berlin to pay the bill—at the ,lowest ,possible price. Thus German industry wouldebe kept alive for the benefit and net -the detriment of Bel- gium. Such arguments are frequent nowa- days in Belgian newspapers, no mat- ter what their opinions on political or •economic questions. Bitter resent- ment exists among_ all classes, evoked by the thought of Germany's traffic in their national industrial resources, and this resentment is greatly in- creased by the thought of the pitiless method which was devised to extract a maximum of profit from exploita- tion. 'U.S. DOCTOR LAUDS BRITISH. Yanks Learned Many Helpful Things From British Army Doctors in France. A gratifying clfange from the va- porings of civilian scribblers to the contrary, is the striking tribute paid the British army by a distinguished American medical officer, who has been with it and learned to know its worth. Col. Haven Emerson, M.C., of the United States Army Medical Ser- vice, replying to a toast at the British Medical Association dinner in London recently. read a letter he had received from a regular officer of the United States Army Medical Service who went over to Rouen in May, 1917, with one of the first American hospitals. The letter read: "I learned the value of simplicity of installation. I saw perfect policing of camps. Flies were almost unknown in spite of the presence of three thou- sand horses stabled adjacent to the hospital,.

' • • SCIENCE. DISCOVERS HUNGER OF BOLSHEVISM FOR MANY CENTURIES. History Records an Instance of Bot- shevism Which Occurred in Rome About 500 B.C. And now conies the hunger germ! Cabled reports from Vienna ' tell.of a new bacillus which has been discover- ed in Austria in -the bodies of those who have died of starvation. The scientists who made the discovery have called it the hunger germ. • Not, of course, that the germ is the cause of hunger; for hunger is a con -1 dition and not a disease. It -is hung which breeds the germ. It is hung which kills. The germ is merely - of of the evidences of what it was th has been the cause of death. To th living body, hunger is what lack fuel is to the boiler. Indeed, if one ponder the - matt well, giving due weight to analogie coincidences and contrasts, it will b found that the identical process a plies to the body politic. that is, t nations and the world at large, as we as to individuals. What 'the,. hunger gem --1s to the starving individuals, Bolshevism is to the starving nations. Bolshevists of Long Ago. The first instance of Bolshevism re- corded, in history is that of the with- drawal of the plebeiansfrom Rome, some 500 years before ' the birth of Christ. The event is one of the most interesting pages in the story of the human race. It is so well kndwn that it needs an apology for repeating it here. The patricians, who constitute the plutocratic upper classes, had be come so arrogant and exacting tha the plebeians, tired of being 'exploited retired from Rome and decided to es tablish a commonwealth of their own Menenius Agrippa; who,, although. patrician, enjoyed the confidence o the proletariat, went out to thea camp ' and told them the followin cable: 'The limbs," . he - said, "once rose in revolt against the stomach. The lazy stomach, the arms and legs declared, did nothing but eat and have a good them time generally, while to thefell al the work, all the drudgery. They de tided, accordingly, that the feet were • Protecting Autos From Fire. Most people have a wholesome dread of fire in connection with their homes and barns, and yet fail to con- sider the matter of protecting their cars. The operation of a motor car de- pends upon highly inflammable ma- terials. This being the case, every precaution should be taken to prevent possible fires. A few buckets of dry sand or ashes should be kept handy in your garage. Besides a -chemical extinguisher, no- er thing will more quickly smother er -burning oil than some dry unburn= 1e able powder. Never pour water on at an oil or gasoline blaze. e Every- person should carry a chem - of thing is said to have happened in sev- eral parts of Europe. The hunger When one is bought and placed in the car, it automatically `reduces the cost of insurance fifteen per cent. This would justify buying an extinguisher even if it afforded no additional pro- tection. One of the principal causes of auto- mobile fires pis backfiring. or firing in the carbureter, setting it ablaze; ' the surrounding oil -soaked parts become ablaze in turn. When this happens, the best thing to, do is to keep crank- ing the car in an effort to get the! engine started. If this is accomp- lished the blaze will many times be sucked into the carbureter,' and ex-} tingu�ished. "If the car can not be! started, dry sand ar a chemical fire-! cxtinguishec ;houic; be used to rut! out the fire.

There are excep- tions, but they are rarer even than those of whom Hamlet says "To be honest, as the world goes is to stay. We -have scores of farmers here who have made their own trail- ers from their old, half -worn-out buggies and carriages which they .need no more, and they are a success. We saw a farmer the other day hauling a sixteen -hundred -pound bull in a trailer behind his motor car. _This trailer was made from rubber - `tired running gears of- a 'discarded hearse. We have gone to mill, hauled loads of potatoes, apples, wood, oats, corn, pigs, calves, mach cows, chickens, and made innumerable trips for other marketing with a, trailer, pu'Med eas- .ily, and boritrived from discarded {gears from a light wagon. A light trailer can be made from light bug- gies; a two -wheeled one is very handy. • The Engine for the Job. �_. We find misfit engines on quite a -few farms, and some of them are terribly misfit, too. Here is a big overgrown engine swinging along with little to do, burning up 'large quantities of fuel turnipg a light churn, cream separator,. or washer.f'The wort""sof` it "\all 'is, the 'women folks have to call the men in from the field to start it, as it ' is a monster in their hands to turn over. On another farm we hear the lit- tle engine hustling and bustling, and explosions come so fast that they scarcely have time to emit from the exhaust -pipe, in an effort to operate the feed grinder, circular saw and many other heavy -turning pieces of machinery for the farmer. The days' of that engine are numbered. Over- work shortens the lire of anything, and a gas -engine is no exception. Why not figure on this and get the engine for the job? The trouble is, when a small engine is bought the buyer does not know how handy this engine power is going to be and does not intend to hitch it to so many pieces of machinery, big and little. On nearly every farm where one engine is nedeti, two are needed— one small engine for the light work of the household,'and a heavier and more powerful engine for the barn and shops. Is this not true? to be one Dragging brakes is another cause, d man out_of ten thousand."

The plebeians saw, ,the point of the fable and promptly returned, especial- ly as some concessions were granted which made..their .lot in the common- wealth more tolerable. And, by ' the way, in this'connection, it may not t be amiss to call attention to the fact that the word proletarian, as a desig- - nation of the lower classes of society, - which is commonly supposed to be 4- not much -older than the French Revo- lution, was in current use in Rome hundreds of years before the Christian. era. • Plautus, the comic dramatist, who flourished 300 B.C., makes use of the word in his comedy entitled "Menaechfiii-'' . • Hunger is a gnawing caused by contractions of an empty stomach.
