last night.
Wants District to Help.
He urged that the people of Wash
ington co-operate in bringing about
nation-wide distribution of excess
army foodstuffs, which, he said, have
been held in storehouses since tne
signing of the armistice, while profit- j
eers took advantage of the lack oI j
food.
The first declaration of army sur- j
plus food, said Representative Kelly, j
showed that there were in possession
of the War Department 141,000,000 cans
of meat, 173,000,000 cans of vegetables '
and an inconceivably large amount of \
sugar. Millions of yards of silk, used.;
by the army for powder cases, also
were in storage, he said.
Representative Kelly said that,
through the bill which he has Intro- '
duced in the House, co-operation be
tween the War Department and the
Postoffice Department will result in a
material gain to the consumer, and
will do much to lower prevalent high
prices.

Alwin Grothe. above, and Alfred
Scholz. below, who aided the Ameri
can offensive by giving information
gained from other Germans taken
prisoner, are now in fear for their
live#.
They* were recently brought from
Prance under heavy guard. Both have
repeatedly expressed the conviction
that they would not live long after
peace was signed, fearing assassina
tion at the hands of th^ir former
comrades.
According to a former noncommis
sioned officer of the Intelligence De
partment, they used to mingle with
newly-captured German prisoners and
through conversation with them were
able to give valuable information to
the Americans.
Scholz is a draftsman of ability and
during the St. Mihiel drive sketched
the location of German gun nests
from memory.
The two have often expressed
hatred for the Kaiser and seem to be

Japanese "picture brides" continue

Senator ^am? D. Phelan. of Cali

learning about Japanese immigration
and the designs of the race on tAmer
ica, has called attention of the State
Department to the frequency with
which Japanese women are being
brought Into the country, and if no
way can be found to prevent it under
present laws will introduce a Japan
ese exclusion law similar to the Chi
nese exclusion act
Senator Phelan gave out the fol
lowing statement yesterday:
"I have been advised that the Korea
Maru. a Japanese liner, has just
brought 130 'picture* or proxy brides,
so-called. to California to alleged hus
bands, resident Japanese, who have
never seen them. I have statistics
from Seattle, showing the arrival there
of large numbers. This serious evil
must be stopped by both Federal and
State legislation, as soon as possible.
The increase of births defeats the
'gentlemen's agreement* and the Cal
ifornia land laws alike. We are being
tricked by the wily Oriental.
"I have made representations to the
State Department on the subject, and
if there is no way of getting action
which will be effective, I propose to
introduce an exclusion land law simila
to the Chinese exclusion law. The
resident Chinese are diminishing in
number, but even with a Japanese
exclusion law. so prolific is the raoe
that for 100 years we will hav a Jap
anese problem in California There
fore. to protect our people and future
generations, we can not get action
too soon."
