4 German Spies Outwitted by Using American Slang Ix>ndrm.—Clever as the German spy may be, (Treat linguists as they claim to be, Americans have found their vast and rich range of slang completely baffles them. An American officer in Belgium I working with the Relief Commit-1 siOn before America entered the i war, told how he conveyed to a; friend the information that the. President's life haft been attempted by a German, in a way no one but an American would understand. "In a barber's shop wore several! German officers.

TUESDAY EVENING, | Sauerkraut Renamed Into Patriotic Dish Pittsburgh.—Sauer-kraut is no more in this city. The local food ad ministration. believing that the Ger i man name has resulted in many- pa | triotic persons refusing to partake of I it, has decided to adopt an American name for the companion of frank | furters and has, accordingly, christ ; ened it "pickled cabbage." Manufacturers of the dish yester ' day notified the food administrator ! that kraut is not receiving its share ; of attention from the public, and the ' sympathetic interest of the food ad ministration was immediately arous \ ed. Later, Administrator George issued j a statement, wherein it was declar ed that, notwithstanding the hyphen, the food should be oaten, and that, ; in order that it might not bo con sidered an unpatriotic dish, ho chris j tened it with the wholesome Ameri fcan name of "pickled cabbage." <;IYES POOD DEMONSTRATION Meatless meals receipts published last evening should have been cred ited to Mrs. G.
