SECRET nUEEBUKV
ESTMUSHEB18 MliHICH
NEW YORK, June 19.—The Pas*
sauer Zeitung of Passau, Bavaria, says
that the notorious Berlin political po
lice have established a branch in Mu
nich, the operations of which have
“fallen on the nerves” of the Bavarian
government and the Bavarian war in
dusiry. The Berlin political police,
the paper says, persecuted not only
Red (Socialist) but also Black (paci
fists), which latter maintained in
Koine and Vienna various secret av
enues of communication which were
l-ot, agreeable to the Berlin political
secret organization.

DAYLIGHT NIGHTS
HELP RAILROAD WORK
ANCHORAGE, Juno 20.—So as to
insure the completion thi3 season of
that part of the government railroad
between Seward and Anchorage,
which towns arc about 114 miles
apart, night shifts of construction
gangs have been put to work. Day
nights inure greatly to the progress*
of operations.
When the laying of steel was ended
as a result of bad weather early last
winter, the rails extended north from
Seward to Girdwood, a distance of
nearly seventy-four miles, and south
from Anchorage to Falls Creek, a
distance of about twenty-three miles.
The intervening distance between the
two end3 of steel was about seven
teen miles.
Some difficulty is experienced in
obtaining laborers. The demand for
men to close the gap between Seward
and Anchorage is greater now than
the supply.

TO USE CORN BREAD
AT CHURCH SUPPERS
Chicken pic and strawberry short
cake will bo no longer the attractions
at church suppers if the plans of the
International Order of King’s Daugh
ters and Sons can be made national.
Steps are now being taken by thi3 so
ciety to replace the various pastries
and articles of diet offered at church
entertainments with others made from
corn meal.
The numerous circles of this order
are excellent mediums for disseminat
ing instruction in food saving, accord
ing to Miss Clara Morehouse, general^
secretary. “The wheat supply will
thus be increased for our soldiers and
allies and the public will become fa.
miliar with the war-time recipes,”
said Miss Morehouse.
