“WHITE CAPS” BEAT PACIFIST
H. S. Bigelow Seized in Kentucky and
Punished “in Name of Poor Bel
gian Women and Children.”
Cincinnati, Oct. 31.—Herbert 8.
Bigelow, pacifist leader, who was
whisked away by his white-clad cap
tors on Sunday night, was located on
Menday near Florence, Ky. He had
been taken into a wocd near that place,
his clothes had been removed and he
had been thrashed with a blacksnake
whip. The party of men that adminis
tered the chastisement was dressed in
“long white robes resembling those de
geribed as being worn by the renowned
Ku Klux Klan.”
Previous to “12 lashes being applied
to his back” one of the party, accord
ing to the report, raised his hand com
manding silence, then read from a pa
per he held as follows: ;
“In the name of the poor women and
children of Belgium this man should be
whipped.” :
After the lash was applied Bigelow
was turned loose and directed toward
vincinnati.
Bigelow was removed to a hospital
shortly .after his arrival here.
“When the others were gone a con
giderable time my guards also left me,
telling me not to go away for ten min«
utes.”
U. S. SHIP FIGHTS U-BOAT
Steamer Battles With Submarine Until
American Destroyer Comes to
the Rescue.
A French Seaport, Oct. 27.—Escap
ing from a German submarine after
a bitter fight lasting nearly four hours,
with seven of her crew wounded, two
of them seriously, an American steam
er of the Luckenbach line arrived here
from an American port. The timely in
tervention of an American torpedo
boat alone saved the ship from being
gent to the bottom. The stubbornness
of the battle is indicated by the fact
that the submarine fired 234 shots at
the steamer, which responded with
more than 260 shots.

WHOLESALERS WILL REFUSE
GOODS TO SOME RETAILERS.
Government Moves to Check Specula
tion Through Special Reguiations
Issued by Mr. Hoover.
Washington, Oct. 30.—Food Admin
istrator Hoover will cut off the sup
plies of retail food profiteers until the
end of the war.
A new regulation goes into effect
November 1. It provides that no manu
facturer, wholesaler or other handler
of foods will be allowed to sell to any
retailer who makes unreasonable prof
its or buys quantities of food for
speculation.
“The food administration does not
intend to disturb any legitimate op
erations,” said a statement issued at
Mr. Hoover’s office. “It takes the po
sition that the great majority of food
sellers are patriotic and honest.
“Such dealers, will be protected.
Those few who persist in abusing their
opportunities will receive attention.”
The government also moved to check
speculation in canned goods. Special
regulations were issued by Mr. Hoover
to govern canners, who will be placed
under license on November 1.
Rigid prohibitions were promulgated
against the sale of futures in canned
peas, corn, tomatoes, salmon and sar
lines before February 1.
SXPECT BIG CHRISTMAS MAIL
Dost Office Department and Railroads
Ask Public to Aid in Handling
the Parcels.
Washington, Oct. 31.—The post of
fice department and the railroads are
co-operating in plangs for the prompt
handling of an enormous increase in
Christmas parcels sent by mail, in ad
dition to those sent by express. Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General
Praeger issued this statement to the
public: e v
“The Christmas season this year
will ‘have an added interest for the
American people. There will be the
usual seasonal greetings and remem
brances at home, and in addition there
will be messages and remembrances
to perhaps 2,000,000 men in the army
abroad and in the cantonments in this
country. The post office department
will be called upon to handle practic
ally twe Christmas mailings—one on
November 15, for the troops in France
and the sailors with the fleet in Euro
pean waters. The second will be the
usual heavy Christmas movements for
the homes, and this year, in addition,
for the cantonments. This ‘double
Christmas’ wili devolve a great bur
den on the transportation systems of
the country; and considering the
heavy demands imposed upon the rail
‘roads by these conditions it becomes
the patriotic duty of every citizen to
ease the burden of transportation by
mailing Christmas packages early.”
DOLLAR SLUMPS TO 83 CENTS
Copenhagen Reports German Mark as
Depreciated 53 Per Cent.—
Low Record.
Copenhagen, Oct. 29.—The dollar

Washington, Oct. 30.—Secretary of
War Baker announced the appoint
ment of Maj. Gen. John Biddle, for
mer president of the Army War col
lege, as assistant chief of staff when

HALLUCINATIONS!
REPORTS INDICATE SECOND 18-
-~ SUE IS OVERSUBSCRIBED.
Means That Bond Issue Actually Wiil'
Be for $4,000,000,000 Instead
of $3,000,000,000. ;
Washington, Oct. 30.—The second
Liberty loan, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo announced on Saturday, is an
“overwhelming success.”
There seems not the slightest doubt
that the maximum quota of $5,000,000,-
000 was reached. 2
“It is a great honor,” said the sec
retary, “to be able to announce that
the second Liberty loan has been
evidently greatly oversubseribed. It
will be several days before final figures
can be glven. The challenge of the
German kaiser has been answered by
the free people of America in unmis
takable terms.”
A total of $5,000,000,000 will mean
that the bond issue actually will be for
$4,000,000,000 under the plans to al
lot subscriptions equal to the minimum
of $3,000,000,000, plus one-half of the
excess up to a maximum quota.
It would not be at all surprising if
the total would go as high as $5,5600,-
000,000. -
The number of subscribers, officials
estimate, will be at least 8.000,000,
and may go as high as 10,000,000.
Indications are that soldiers had sub
scribed $75,000,000 and sailors $6,000,-
000.

GROWING APPRECIATION OF THE
MUCH ABUSED COMMITTEE
ON PUBLIC INFORMATION.
LABORS UNDER DIFFICULTIES
Telling Peopie Why We Are in the
War and Spreading the Doctrine of
Americanism Constitute Largest
Part of Its Task. .
1 By GEORGE W. CLINTON.
Washington. Some months ago
President Wilson by executive order
established what is known as the com
mittee on public information. There
" have been criticisms in multitude of
the work of the committee, and con
fessedly the one who writes this was
ane of the fault finders.
It is only right to say that as a more
proper understanding has come of the
work of the committee, and the pecu
liar difficulties under which it has la
bored, it seems that retraction of criti
cism in considerable part should be
made and that the members of the
committee should be given credit for
doing an enormous work well.
The cemmittee on public informa
tion as constituted by the president is
composed of the secretary of state, the
secretary of war, the secretary of the
navy, and a civilian chairman charged
with executive direction of the work.
The civilian chairman is George Creel.
There was a feeling among newspaper
men at the outset that the committee
on pullic information was charged
almost solely with the duty of pro
viding wctual news for the press. In
part this was its duty, and it still is
continuing along the lines of an in
formation bureau which has in it the
features which differentiate the faces
of real news stories from those of hu
man interést and purely informative
stories. But it also has a greater
work of information to do.
A man feels, once in awhile at any
rate, that he ought to make an at
tempt to be fair, and if he is peni
tently inclined for past deeds to try
to make that which the classically in
clined call the amende honorable.
Doing a Stupendous Work.
Certain .it is that the committee
on public information has had its trou
bles and still is having them to a less
er extent. Its work is stupendous, a
fact which does not seem to be known
thoroughly to the country, nor to be
understood in full by some people who
see little or no good in anything that
the committee does or tries to do.
The newspaper correspondents in
Washington had all kinds of diflicul
ties at the outset with the committee
and the difficulties as yet are not any
thing like entirely cleared from the
track. Newspaper men here, however,
are getting a better understanding of
the real constructive work which the
committee is trying to do, and the at
titude towards it I believe is changing.
In the first place it has been dis
covered that the committee on public
information is not in the largest sense
a news disseminating body. The real
news that it turns out forms about
one-tenth of the bulk of its product.
It was only recently that some of us
discovered the magnitude of educa
tional work of the right kind which
these newspaper men laborers are try
ing to do. .
Some Things Have Gone Wrong.
There have been some unfortunate
happenings so far as the newspaper
world is concerned, in the Creel bu
reau. The things that have gone
wrong are the things that everybody
points to and knows about, wiile the
things which have gone right are
those things with which the corre
spondent in Washington does not have
to concern himself with intimately.
In the cases of “awryness,” real news
has been involved and therefore some
papers have suffered and their corre
spondents with them.
The committee on public informa
tion has been engaged from the day of
its organization in giving to the peo
ple of the country who hitherto had
not received it, the reasons for Amer
ca’s entry into the war, the story of
Germany’s aggressions and inhumani
ties and of the workings of a govern
ment which even today thinks that it
can dominate the world and make au
tocracy its ruler. :
Through thousands of avenues the
gospel of Americanism has been sent
forth by the committee. The duty is
a high one and the men who are tcy
ing to do it seemingly ought to have
commendation in their work.
Treasury a Busy Place.
It seems hardly possible that An
drew Jackson when he laid the
porner stone of the United States
reasury could have had any thought
in the back of his head of the
day when the building which soon was
to spring before his eyes would be the
hive of industry that it is today. The
treasury is as whirring inside as the
state, war and navy building, and
when this is said it means “business.”
The treasuJry is more than a treas
ury. It is hot only the place where
Uncle Sam keeps a large part of his
hoards of gold, silver, and banknotes.
but it is the place where means of
“raising the wind” to meet every-emer
gency of war and peace must be given
thought. It is the very center of
finance.
Even in times of peace the treasury
always is heavily guarded, but then,
nevertheless, it is possible in business
‘hours to get into it through fifteen or
twenty entrances. Today it can be
entered by only one door, an incon
spicuous little wicket gate affair on the
Fifteenth street side. Visitors who
are visitors for curiosity only are not
admitted into this stronghold of
finance today. If a man has business
within the golden precincts he can get
in, provided he proves his business
point, establishes his identity and goes
straight to the place designated.
Every newspaper correspondent who
wishes to go to the treasury to secuvre
news of Liberty Loan bonds, or cus
toms receipts, or other things, must
present the pass issued by the war
department and which bears his photo
graph in an upper corner. The man
at the gate assures himself that the
face on the card corresponds with the
face of the admission seeker.
Vanderlip fs Back There.
There are some strange faces in the
treasury today and there are also scine
faces of, men who once were em
ployed there in a government capacity
and who now have come back to volun
teer their services to the government
in its time of need. One of these men
is Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City bank of New York.
When McKinley was president, Ly
man J. Gage, secretary of the treas
ury, took Frank A. Vanderlip, who was
a financial writer on a Chicago publi
cation, to Washington as his private
secretary. A little later he became an
essistant secretary of the treasury.
After his term of service was up he
went to New York where he since has
been known as & high authority on
finance. _ ;
Vanderlip today is working as a
volunteer for the government. His
office in the treasury building is none
too light and acme too commodious,
but apparently it is not for a volunteer,
who cnce was a newspaper man, to
complain.
The special yvolunteer duty which
Mr. Vanderlip is performing is that of
helping in the direction of the Liberty
Loan campaign. His long newspaper
experience has made him a good pub
licity man, and publicity is necessary
when Uncle Sam wants to put before
the people the merits of his appeal for
money. Add to his newspaper expe
rience that of his study as a financier
and the sum will make it known why
Uncle Sam wanted Vanderlipas n vol
unteer,
Uncle Sam After the Rat.
The United States government is on
the trail of the rat. It will confine its
exterminating campaign for the pres
ent to the United States, but soon it
is believed that the government offi
cials will undertake the work of Kkill
ing, or at any rate driving from
the trenches of Europe into a re
treat from which there is no re
turning, all the rats which today are
making the soldiers’ lives miserable,
and which any day may become a se
rious menace to the health of the fight
ers.
The war department has been told
that American scientists stand ready
to formulate a campaign against thq
rats in the trenches in Europe. There
is hope that later an order will be is
sued sending a detachment of soldier
scientists to Europe to make war on
the most destructive and dangercus
animal that the world knows.
Members of the biological survey of
the government have given thought
to the rat and its problems. Alreaidy
they -have started a campaign for the
destruction of the rats which rapicly
are multiplying in and about the ca&n
tonments in which our soldiers of the
three armies, regulars, National Guard,
and draft, are quartered. The dif
ficulty is that the scientists muat
depend upon state and local effort and
all that the Washington experts can
do is to give advice from a distante.
Neglected by Congress.
Congress declined to include in the
proper supply bill an appropriation
sufficiently large to enable the govern
ment to undertake the saving of the
food supply in America from the rav
ages of rats and what is much more
vital the saving of the soldiers in
France from the discomforts which
rats bring in their wake.
Qo it is that so far as present ef
fort s concerned it must content it
self largely with the urging of state
and local authorities to combat the
rat at the cantonments, and must give
over until-a later time any thought
of entering on a crusade of concen
tration against the pest in the trenches
at the front.
It is something to know, however,
that the war department has under ad
visement a plan of campaign to rid
the trenches and the cantonments here
and abroad of the rat which has made
for destruction of property and of mis
ery to the fighters. ‘
It is probable that the war depart
ment when the proper time ccmes will
be able to appropriate from its own
funds money sufficient to send Ameri
cans to Europe to study the rat prob
lem and to solve it. The Europeans
themselves have done romething along
the checking if not exterminating line.
The rats in the trenches die or -dis
appear after a gas attack and in this
there may be a suggestion of methods
of extermination which may be em
ployed. :

" Some Satisfaction. ;
«There are compensations for mosi
things!” said Mrs. Wilkins. “Poor
James was run over by a motorecar
yesterday, but he had a smile on-his
face when they took him to <he hus
pital.”
“Why the smile?”
“He was carrying home a rake at the
time and it punctured a tire.”
