Invest Your Money
with Uncle Sam!
Look squarely at the facts.
We will either invest our
money with Uncle Sam now, at
good interest rates, to help him
win this war, or we will give it
up later to pay the Hun’s war
cost—and as much more as the
kaiser wishes to collect.
DO YOUE SHARE
EVERY DAY!

EL PASO, Texas, May 18.—Gun
runners, ammunition smugglers,
“bootleggers” and other border law
breakers who thrive upon the illicit
traffic between countries characteris
tic of all borders, have turned their
attention to smuggling sugar into
Mexico.
Sugar is on the American embargo
list for the period of the war. So is
lard, and also flour and butter and
other foodstuffs. But sugar is the
most popular commodity with the
smugglers. It is easy to carry across,
does not spoil, and can always be dis
posed of at a high price, once it is
over the border. The smuggelrs
match their wits against those of the
government’s keenest secret service
men, taking thoir winnings in Ameri
can gold and their losses in the fed
eral penitentiaries.
Although bustles went out of style
many years ago, the wearing of them
has been revived by the sugar smug
glers. The Mexican women of ample
girth wear the rude canvas bustles
more for revenue than for style. Con
cealed in the pockets of their bustles
are pounds and pounds of sugar. Mex
ican women confederates of the smug
glers fasten theso cumbersome affairs
about their waists under their dress
skirts and walk or ride across the in
ternational bridge, until some curious
inspector discovers the ruse and stops
ilie practice by placing the smuggler
in jail.
Kerosene cans are converted into
sugar receptacles, having the top cut
off, a false bottom made to contain a
pint or less of kerosene, and the re
mainder of the space in the can being
filled with sugar. Ten-gallon milk
cans have a milk container in the
center with sugar packed around it
in the remainder of the space. Three
of these were discovered with 100
pounds of sugar in each.
Petticoats with pockets sewed to
thorn, waists padded with sugar and
extra size stockings filled with sugar
are used by the smugglers and their
confederates.

NEW YORK, May 18.—“How can
you force President Wilson to make
peace by military measures?" de
manded Deputy Schulze-Gaevernitz, a
member of the German Progressive
party, during a budget debate re-j
cently in the reichstag, says the Ber
lin Tageblatt.
“On the day on which the general
and equal franchise becomes a law in
Prussia a large part of the Anglo
Saxon will to war will collapse,” the j
deputy continued. ;
"The dignified British house of;
lords, responding to the necessities |
of war, has adopted the democratic
electoral reform of the world,” he de
clared. “It has given the franchise
to the youngest soldier and to 6,000,
000 women.
“The independence of Alsace-Lor
raine is a necessity. We cannot win
the hearts of a country the latest
spiritual background of which is the
French revolution by applying the
methods of East Elbian (Junkor) sov
ereignty. There must be no fourth
partition of Poland. We desire to
remain the German national state that
we are now.1 The German .idea of
freedom ‘has been darkened by the
East Elbian junkerdom. The German
censorship has done more harm than
good. Why is the German word be
ing gagged? The conditions prevail
ing today as a result of the dirty busi
ness of censorship are equally dis
graceful to the one who is being cen
sored as to the censor. We desire
such a heavy taxation of all war prof
its that nowhere will there be a finan
cial interest in a continuation of the
war. England in this respect should
serve us as a model.
“It should not be forgotten that
about one-third of the army consists
of Socialists. If we have to reduce
the bread ration we must increase the
ration of freedom. The recent strikes
were a foretaste, an undesirable but
an explainable reaotion of the blind
masses of the people to the postpone
ment of Prussian franchise reform.”
