12 German Spies Invade U. S. Trenches; Two Are Taken and Shot With the American Army In France, March 14.—A smartly dress ed soldier, speaking excellent Eng lish, but jvearlng the uniform of a French ca.Vain, appeared at ona of the American headquarters. He said lie was the liaison officer from a neighboring French corps. "Those batteries on the right—they should cease firing," he said to the Ameri can officer in command, who smiled his dissent, but became suspicious. Shortly afterward, when the iap per visitor, upon ascertaining the number of American troops holding a certain position, commented "too many by far," the American aid on a nod from his commander slipped away to telephone French headquar ters to identify the visitor. Before he returned with the information that there was no such captain in the French army the stranger had es caped. In another sector of American ac tivity our headquarters received word by telephone that two men in American uniforms and giving as sumed names had been there. "What have you done?" said the angry American. "Execute!" "It's done already," answered the Frenchman. "They confessed they were German spies. They had been shot". Spies dropping in parachutes from German airplanes back of our lines is one method the enemy has of get ting emissaries disguised for espion age work in France. Still people wonder why the censorship conceals the exact locations of bur troops end insists upon secrecy about American military operations. Our troops are now conducting and participating in a series of raids on German trenches all along the front 1 after heavy artillery preparations. President Wilson Asks Boys to Work on Farms Washington, March 15. —President: Wilson has made the following sign ed appeal: "The Department of Labor has set aside the week beginning March 18 as national enrollment week for the 1 United-States boys' working reserve. The purpose of this national enroll-1 ment week is to call the attention of| the young men of the nation to the: importance of increasing the I'ood supply by working on the farms, and to urge them to enroll in the reserve. ■ "I sincerely hope that the young men of the country, of 1G years of age and over, not now permanently employed and especially the boys in onr high schools, will enter heartily into this work and join the boys' working reserve in order that they may have the privilege, for such I believe it to be, of spending their spare time in a productive enterprise which will certainly aid the nation to win the way by increasing the means of providing for the forces at the front and for the maintenance of those whose services are so much needed at home."

Uncle Sam has put many things over the top, and now the chicken is to go. Pennsyl vania is anxious to lead the rest of the country and scientific orators will tell the audience to-night Just how this may be done. E. B. Mitchell, local representative |of the Central Pennsylvania Poultry ! Association, has sent a call for all the poultrymen of Dauphin and adjoin ! ing counties, but this does not mean ' that the public is not welcome. The ! plan is to educate everybody, so that i each family shall be a poultry pro [ ducer. An important feature of the I poultry organization is its plan to I distribute free one-day old chicks and also hatching eggs to reliable persons. The mass meeting will open at S o'clock to-night.

"What would bo the best thing to read to loarn about the French Revo lution?" "Can you let me have all of Tolstoy's works?" These and a myriad other questions are what you hear to-day in the city Public Library. The same is true of the State Library. There is hunger for foreign literature, particularly Russian and French, due entirely to the war. Along with this the librari ans note that girls, in particular, are keen to speak French, perhaps be cause so many have relatives or sweethearts in France, who are begin ning to use the lingo liberally in their letters. | German books, songs, history nothing doing any more. Some libra ries have even relegated German lit erature to the cellars. The demand is only for literary products of nations fighting against Germany. The call for Rusßlan books has beon amazing, and the different ways of pronouncing those Russian authors' names is a source of merriment in the libraries. There Is evidently a serious desire to be accurately informed on the geo graphy and history of allied nations, as well as to know something of their fiction writers. The request for books In the native langnages has not In creased to amy great extent, although there are plenty of patrons who need no English translation. Elementary S. S.
