Publication of Pamphlet, Entitled "How we Were Lied To,'t Reveals Network of Deceit. Revelations of the "stupidity and cunning, of German newspaper cen- sorship which. for more than four years obsessed 70,000,000 perscus with the hope of an impossible victory, hid from them the news of Prusslan de- feats and at last contributed to the downfall at the structure of pretence it had raised, are brought out here in a remarkable pamphlet said to have been inspired by Dr. Wilhelm Mueh- Ion, formerly director of the Krupp Works, whose expose of Germany iii 1918 as the rear instigator of the war sent him into 'voluntary exile in Swit- zerland. The pamphlet, entitled "How We Were Lied To," is published ostens- ibly under the name of Kurt Mueh- sam, one-time Austro -German war cor- respondent, It is filled with instances of military duplicity, showing the ef- forts that were made to conceal from the German people everything of a dis- couraging nature that had to do with the war. Newspaper editors, according to the document, were forbidden under dire penalties to discuss any subject relat- ing to the war without the approval of hundreds of government censors oper. ating through twenty-one newspaper bureaus and various branches of the government. The Lusitania sinking and the submarine controversy with the United States were so skillfully manoeuvred in the press that for many months the people were led to be- Iieve that the negotiations were tak- ing "a course very favorable to us." Never Admitted First Marne Defeat. Dr 3luehlon, who in his earlier re- velations accused the then Emperor William of having issued the order "take no more prisoners," the as- tonishing fact that not once in all of the German war reports can be found any admission that the first battle of the Marne was a German defeat, The only thing that the German High Com- mand was able to report about that terrible reverse was disguised in the words:—"In the western theatre of the war the operations, details of which cannot yet be published, have led to a new battle which is develop- ing favorably. Reports spread by the enemy unfavorably to us are false." It must be understood, writes Dr. iliuehlon's collaborator, that all the censorship regulations under which the newspapers were operating were unknown to the people. The distor- tion of facts was thus made easy for every editor. He was encouraged to say that, notwithstanding that the Allies were sinking German submar- ines as fast as they could be built, "the number of new German U-boats is four times greater than the losses. Our submersible fleet has grown ex- traordinarily during the war. The press is to picture the submarine war- fare as a means of shortening the struggle and not as a. measure of re- taliation or a weapon to starve our foes." After months of deception in trying to convince the people that the United States would never enter the war, as- serts the Krupp director, when Presi- dent Wilson sent his ultimatum, the German press very readily executed an "about face" and endeavored to minimize the United States as a pos- sible adversary. Even after the United States had landed more than 1,500,000 men in France, Dr. Muehlon declares, the German newspapers continued their campaign of falsity and delusion. The diplomatic intercourse between Ger- many and the United States during the two years preceding America's en- try into the war is set forth in the pamphlet, with interesting references to Count Von Berustorff and his Mili- tary and Naval Attaches, Boy -Ed and Von Papen, in Washington. It was given out as "established" that the one-time Ambassador and not Dr. Zim- merman, the German Foreign Secre- tary, had conducted the correspond- ence with Heinrich Von Eckhardt, formerly German Minister in Mexico, looking to an alliance between Japan, Germany and Mexico if the United Stetee entered the war.

After the United States actually en• terod the war the censors permitted 'such statements as "the damage to German ships lying in American har bors has been carried out to our satin faction. For example, the giant steamship Vaterland has been made wholly unusablle. Even the sketches of the turbine construction have been destroyed." *Loss at the war w•is charged by the one-time Krupp exprt to two grave mistakes by Von .Duclendorff, de- scribed as the "brains of the German army," in his failure, first, correctly to estimate the wonderful possibilities of the American troop transport and his false assumption that Marshal Poch's reserve army had ceased to exist in June, 1918. Ludendorff,,,lte said, gambled with the existence of Germany, He was like a jockey in a long race • who forced his horse far ahead of the rest of tb3 field and who toward the end, when'nthe others be- gan to' gain with their carefully re- served strength, used "whip and spurs in a desperate effort to win, virtually killed his mount 'and yet lost after all," , WHAT HAPPENED iN EUROPE. Effect of the War on the Farming Conditions Overseas. Last September a commission visit- ed Europe to see what effect the war bad had on European farming up to that tines. Here are a few of the out- standing facts, recently reported by the commission: Great Britain increased her home- grown bread supplies fourfold by 191S, largely by plowing up her pasture lands. France's production of sugar beets and breadstuffs decreased sharply. In Italy there was some reduction of the cultivated area, but except for wheat the reduction in the volume of breadstuffs has not been very serious. Thiel yield per acre decreased, the causes being shortage of fertilizer and uncontrolled growth of weeds. Regarding live stock, Great Britain has maintained her herds of cattle and !has increased her sheep and made small losses in hogs. Sheep were de- ,clining in Great Britain before the war. In France all live stock has de- clined. However, France has main- tained her young cattle. The decline in sheep is most serious,• and there is also a sharp decline in hogs. Italy's cattle have declined. Many orders have been in effect for the pur- pose of conserving live stock. For ex- ample, in some sections eah•es weigh- ing less than 440 pounds could not be slaughtered. Hogs have been greatly decreased. Generally speaking, Great Britain, France and Italy will need to import for some time to come large supplies of meats, fats, dairy products, and concentrates for animals. Some line portations of live stock for breeding purposes may be made, but for the most part importations will consist of live -stock products. In addition to alive -stock products Great Britain, France, Italy and Bel- gium will need to import for some time to come large supplies of wheat, fertilizers, fibres (wool and cotton) and farm machinery. All countries under review have made marked pro- gress in the utilization of farm ma- chinery, especially in the use of trac- tors. WAR ON PARASITES. England Plans to Stamp Out Disease Carried by Germs. The British Government is taking measures to stamp out diseases due to the germ -carrying parasites. The local Government Board, the department dealing with the adminis- tration of health, has issued a pamph- let of ten pages giving details of the life history of the pests, the measures to be taken for guarding the public and details of the powers of the local authorities to provide apparatus for cleaning purposes. The department classes the preval- ence of vermin as a serious menace to the health of a large section of the population, and the pamphlet contains the orders issued teethe local authori- ties for coping with the evil, The brochure, which gives details of methods and apparatus for clean- sing both persons and etothing, is now on sale on every bookstall at two cents. , •�w--wpm How to Avoid. Engine Troubles,, • When fore &ny reason a ehaxge in an engin ee:irder is tired before the proper time, We say it "bae'kfiree," Or causes the crank -shaft to turn the wrong way. This backfiring often occurs when an engine is being cranked, and Is rather dangerous, as it may result in a broken arm. Back- firing may be caused by one of the following thingst 1. Spark advanced` too far. 2. Glowing carbon deposits in cyl- inder. 8. Spark plugs rusty or dirty, caus- ing points to become red hot. 4. Short circuit in timer, On all high-speed motors there is a spark lever or control. This is placed there .because it is neeeseary to advance the spark as,,the engine gains speed in order to secure effi- cient operation. Rut when the engine is to be started the spark lever should be in fall retard, and "kicks" occurs Most often because the' opera- tor has carelessly left the spark ad- vanced. Glowing carbon deposits are an- other. cause of backfiring, hut this sloes not occur until an engine has. been running for some time and be- come heated. Red-hot spark plug points cause the same trouble as the glowing carbon, for after an engine, has been run a while the points may • retain heat enough to fire the charge of gas as soon as it is' taken into the cylinder, The spark plugs should be removed and cleaned when erratic firing occurs, and if this gives no re -,I lief you may be sure there is carbon' to be removed from the cylinders, The last cause of backfiring is a, short circuit in the tinier that is,' the commutator or distributor, or the mechanism that divides the current timong the different cylinders at the proper time. This commutator con-. sists of a hollow metal drum in the rim of which are imbedded as many , contact points as there are cylinders. These points are insulated from each other, and a cam, turning inside the drum makes contact with them at the proper retinue. If these contacts be- come uninsulated, cylinders will fire with no regularity. The only thing to do in this case is to buy a new part. Of course, backfiring may be caus- ed by having gears that operate the valves and timer set wrong, but I, have assumed that you have not torn down your engine to misplace them. —W. W. A Close Call. A few weeks ago Jim Caldwell met with an accident -bleat was both lucky and unlucky. Jim's luck was the indisputable fact that he hap- pened to be in town at the time in- stead of four or five miles from no- wheire. Jim had.,?een' tinkering with the carbureter of his auto, but its dis- position kept getting worse and worse. It spit and it popped and •it missed, and suddenly it went off like a cannon and flames "shot up clear through the hood. Some gasoline had collected itn the undexpan. Fires don't appeal to Jim and he didn'tgra 'fancy sitting over the so - line tank, so he jumped out and made tracks down the street. Scxtigbody turned in a fire alarm, Then JIM saw a garage man in greasy overedle a fire extinguisher under his arm, running toward the blazing tanto.. Jird Went back to help. . Well, the hose and ladder wagons came, but the man had the fire out long before that. The paint on the hood was scorched and the chemical had made a lot of sediment on the motor, but Jim's auto had been saved from going up in smoke, Jim peeled a bill from his roll and handed it to the hero of the occasion. The auto was not badly damaged. Before Jim drove home that night he went to the hardware store and bought a fire extinguisher that's been hanging on the dash ever sine.. Helpful Hints. When placing chains on your tires be sure to hare the hooks toward the back as you lay them over the wheel. This gives a wiping motion to the hooks when in use, v:hich tends to keep them closed. If the chains are put on the other way they will tend to open and so be in danger of corn- ing oft'. When you have the time study your starting and lighting system c{refully, using your instruction book as a guide. Gradually the uses of the parts and the paths of the cur- rents will become clear to you. Give it the care it needs and you will get better service and have less trouble iii the end. I Carry an indelible pencil with your tire repair outfit. When you find a leak in a tube you must mark it so as to find it again. A black lead pencil is useless here. The indelible mark will remain as the wet rubber helps to dissolve the lead of the pencil. Animal Breadwinners. A performing animal often has a greater earning capacity than a suc- cessful man of business. The first kangaroo to enter the box- ing -ring in America earned a sum in five years that allowed himself and his owner to retire from the limelight, and spend the rest of -their lives in peace and quiet. This was the first of a long line of pugilistic kangaroos who "made" their masters. Much of the success of Hagenbeck's Wonder Zoo at Olympia, a few years back, was undoubtedly due to the en- gagement of Max and Moritz, the "human apes." These animals jointly earned as large a salary at Olympia as an opera favourite then appearing at Covent Gardens, London. Three world-famous lions, Nero, Prince, and Wallace, who have toured the British Isles and the Continent for many years, can claim a turnover of many thousands, as can Klikko, the chim- panzee hero of Barnum and Bailey's Fair, still going strong on this site of the Atlantic. EDUCATION AND THE WAR. Strong Demand in Britain For Added Facilities For Adults. The mixing of the nations during the great war has resulted, as far as Britain is concerned, in a strong de- mand for additional• -facilities for adult education, says a Loudon despatch. From the educational centres it is re- ported that there is now a wonderful volume of enthusiasm of adult educa- tion. The Workers' Educational Associa- tion is finding difficulty in supplying the lecturers demanded by all parts of the country, while many classes are enrolling more'pupils than ever, and arrangements for one class on a sub- ject have had to be extended to sever- al classes to accommodate the demand for education. The London County Council educa- tional department finds overcrowding in its classes dealing with literary and like subjects and has decided to increase the number of literary insti- tutes by five, with a corresponding in- crease in classes. The new insti- tutes will be opened within a few days. The council will soon open a now course at its present institutes comprising folk songs and dances. Ti4E.Y ALL.

When we remember that most of the great leaders of maukind came of humble parents: that many of the greatest geniuses had the most lowly origin; that, for example, Beethoven's :,: , h mother was a consumptive, the daugh- ter au_ - ' ter of a cook, and his father a con- firmed drunkard; that Schubert's • father was of peasant birth and his mother a domestic servant; that Far- aday, perhaps the greatest scientific discoverer of any age, was born over a stable, his father a poor, sick black- smith and his mother an ignorant drudge, and that his only early edu- cation was obtained in selling news- papers on the streets or London and later in working as..apprentice to a bookbinder: that the great Pasteur was the son of a tanner; that Lin- coln's parents were accounted "poor white trash" and that his early sur- roundings and education were most unpromising, and so on through the long list of names in which democracy The report of the Government Com- glories—when we remember the great mittee on Adult Education refers to - men of humble birth we may well cels the present interest in adult educe. - whether aristocracy can show as good tion schemes and.recommends certain a record.
