Eames AMERICA SPELLS GERMAN DEFEAT Entry Into War Means Victory for Allies, Says British Writer. CONTROL OF FOOD WILL WIN Now a Case in Which “the Dog Has Begun to Bite the Pig,” Says Writer—Something Rotten In Germany. London.—How America’s entry into the war has hurt Germany is the sub- ject of an interesting article in the Birmingham Post by Edgar Wallace, author and military correspondent. It is now a case in which “the dog has begun to bite the pig,” he says. “Tt is as well,” Mr. Wallace writes, “to separate the causes of the present German offensives from the circum: stances which have made them pos- sible. We know that the stagnation of the Russian front allows the Ger- mans to employ in the west troops which, were the Russian army an ac- tive factor in the war, could not have been employed ; we know that the Ital- ian has lost nearly 300,000 men in the course of the fighting of the last month; but neither of these facts ex- plains the German offensive plan. For example, the push against the Isonzo was obviously uninfluenced by Italian losses—because they had not occurred. The push against Italy was and is part of the great scheme which would cer- tainly have been carried out even if Russia had remained loyal to the alli- ance. “Reason Is ‘America '” “The reason is summed up in the word ‘America.’ I do not particularly refer to the forces which America will put into the field, The German gen: eral staff, I am certain, has no par: ticular fear that sufficient American troops will be put into the field next | year to secure a decision against Ger- many. I doubt very much whether the German is worrying at all about what will happen in the field in the summer of 1918. But he is tremendously con- cerned over what will happen in Ger- | many between May and August of that | year unless he can break the fighting | spirit of the entente during the forth; | coming months of the winter. “It is no secret that Germany had been drawing large supplies of food and necessary raw material from America, via neutral countries. Amer- ica supplied these articles in the way of business, just as she supplied Brit: ain with material in the way of bust- ness, and strictly in the way of busi- ness the neutral countries had been passing on their imports to Germany. “And so this jolly war might have gone on whilst Germany's credit abroad held—only America came in She declared war, she called millions of men, she reorganized her industries to meet the demands of war—and then | she sat down to take a good look at the neutrals. And they seemed unneces sarily bloated. They did their best te} engage her sympathy. And they had little bread and potato riots just tc show there was no deception. “But America understood. She said very simply, ‘Feed yourselves, you big stiffs!’ (if the picturesque vulgarity be allowed). “In the old nursery rhyme, when the stick began to beat the dog, the dog began to bite the pig. If the neutral has no food to spare and cannot buy any in America, the German cannot buy food from the neutral. In fact, the dog has begun to bite the pig. The neu | trals have no right to complain. Something Rotten in Germany. “So many millions of tons of food: stuffs which came to Germany once in the dear dead days are not coming any more. She is that much shorter of food. We do not know for certain the conditions. of Germany’s food reserves. That there is something rotten there SS. SS. SSS SSossS— Dr. Wesley F. Orr Physician and Surgeon Office in Simon Building.

FOOLS GERMAN RADIO MAN Youth Shortened Length of Sound Waves So That No Vessel Could Pick Up Messages He Made Pre- tense of Sending—His Life Is Threatened by Officers of Enemy Ship. A dramatic incident of the sea, In which a young wireless operator fooled the enemy, was related in the prize court in London recently, when the crown was asked to condemn the steamship Edna on the ground of un- neutral service and enemy ownership. The attorney general, Sir Frederick B. Smith, deseribed the kaleidoscopic history of a vessel which flew two flags. The plucky operator was “one Smith, an Englishman,” who since has received a commission in the R. N, A. S. Frederick Jebson, a German, said Sir Frederick, was a prominent man in San Francisco shipping circles. He chartered the vessel and was believed to have perished afterward in a Ger- man submarine. The vessel was built at Bergen in 1902 and in those days sailed the seas as the Jason, Jebson used the vessel for his Mexican busl+ ness. He had been in the German navy and was in the naval reserve, Jebson purchased the vessel, the ownership of which was vested in the | Lloyd Mexican Societe Anonyme, in which he held the bulk of the shares, Finally he managed to get back to Ger- Many disguised as a Scandinavian sea- man, Vessel Was Disguised, The Edna took on board wireless and gun-sight apparatus and tried to communicate to the German cruiser Leipzig the dates when British vegsels left port—an attempt which was frus- trated by the resourcefulness, ingenu- ity and courage of Smith, In an affidavit read by the attorney general, Guy Duncan Smith, the wire- less operator, said that he was on board the vessel when the war broke out. He awoke one night at midnight and heard the steamship Aztec an- nounce that war had been declared be- tween Russia and Germany. At this time the vessel had “Ham- burg” painted on the stern, After the announcement that war had begun “Hamburg” was removed from the vessel, “La Paz” was painted in and the Mexican flag was run up. Before leaving San Francisco he had heard that the coal taken on board was intended for the Leipzig. Infor- mation was sent to the British cénsul, and the authorities at San Francisco demanded that the coal should not be delivered to the cruiser, Decelved German Operator. A German wireless operator was taken on board and Smith was told that if he refused to do his duty the German would take his place, The German operator, however, did not un- derstand the Marconi system, Smith shortened the length of the sound waves, and though he appeared to be sending out calls for the Leipzig no vessel could pick up the message. The German operator spent three nights and three days trying to call up the Leipzig. Smith returned later, and then occasionally called up the German cruiser, putting the wireless in order to allay suspicions, but the wire- less was always out of gear when the German operator tried to use it. At La Paz, Smith forwarded a message to the admiral on the American cruiser California, 4 Some of the officers threatened to shoot Smith and throw him overboard if he did not send a code message to the German cruiser, and he then pre- tended to send it. The only thing that Smith sent to the Leipzig was an inquiry as to where TT —— White Bird, Idaho, on the 2ist day of February, th S Sadan Notice for Publication 1018.
