German Potash Is
Demanded by Farmers
Washington, Aug. 7.—A new fac
' tor in the cost of living was present-
I ed yesterday in a form of a warn
ing from the National Grange and
the National Board of Farm Orguni-
I stations, claiming to speak for mil
lions of American farmers, that
"suffering for the whole people by
further serious increases in living
costs" will result from the failure
of the government to remove the
import embargo on German potash,
so as to permit the importation of
300,000 tons of that agricultural ne
cessity from Germany.
In a joint letter to Vance MeCor
mick, chairman of the War Trade
Board, the two farmers' organiza
j tions said the "present plight of the
I farmer in regard to fertilizer is an
| intolerable one, and the ban on
j German potash is continued in or
-1 der that a small group of mnmtfae-
I turers may secure a monopoly."

VOODOOISM
IS SPREADING
THROUGH CUBA
Fathers and Mothers Live in
Constant Fear For Their
Children
Havana, Cuba, Aug. 7.—With tho
recent sudden outbreak of cannibal
istic practices by Voodoo worship
ers, which have resulted in tho
deaths of at least three innocent
children and a half dozen of the
[ Voodoos, the latter by the applica- j
tion of "lynch" law for the first j
time in this country's history, fath- |
ers and mothers are living in con- !
stant fear that their little ones may :
be spirited away by the supersti- ;
tious negroes to be offered up in
I sacrifice to "Chango," the god of tho
"Brujos", as they are called in the J
Castillian language.
The Voodoos are divided in va- .
rious sects,' each with its separate
god. Tho latter include "Baba- j
gueye," god of sickness; "Elecua," j
god of injury; "Olorrun," god of j
misery, and "Chango," the terrible ;
god, to whom human sacrifices are i
made. • ,
"Chango," according to the Voo
doo belief, was the son of Olorrun
and Anaragua. He was slain by I
Elecua, the "god of injury," and as- |
cended into Heaven from a Ceiba,
or god-tree, in the month of May.
It is in the month of May therefore, j
| that the "Brujos" observe their Holy \
, week when Chango is expected to
make a weekly visit to the earth, j
descending by tho Ceiba, his sacred
tree, always on Monday.
The followers of Elecua do not j
directly offer human sacrifices, al- I
though their healers sacrifice the j
lives of some patients, by giving I
them poisonous concoctions, sup- j
posedly a mysterious cure for some I
ailment, in order to restore to health ,
some other patient, Elecua, being j
the "God of Injury," his followers j
believe that good can come to one ,
person only through injury to an
other.
Voodooism is not practiced by the |
negroes alone. Many white persons j
also are said to secretly take part
in their religious meetings and ac
cusations have been heard in va
■ rious quarters of the difficulties en
countered by officers seeking to
break up their temples because of
the obstacles placed in their way
by persons of influence.
An active campaign by the au
thorities in Havana and other parts
of the island have resulted in the
capture of numerous "Brujos" and
the seizure of many curious and
weird objects used by them.
Saw 13 Hydroplanes,
Valued at $50,000,
Burned at U. S. Base
Scran ton, Pa., Aug. 7.—The Rev.
Evora Evans, who returned to this
city to-day after two and a half
years service as a Y. M. C. A. worker
in Italy, Turkey and Ireland, says
that while he was stationed at the
American naval base at Wexford,
Ireland, that he saw thirteen hydro
planes valued at $50,000 burned by
order of the commanding officer. He
was told the reason for the apparent
waste was due to the rapid progress
aviation was making; that the plaVms
would be obsolete and of no value
within a few months time.

Ford's Lawyer Asks Judge
to Tell Jury Article Libelous
Mt. Clemens, Mich, Aug. 7.—Coun- :
sel in the libel suit of Henry Ford i
against the Chicago Daily Tribune !
yesterday presented to Juige Tuck- 1
or their requests in the matter of '
ihe court's instructions to the jury, j
Tho jurors were not present, but I
returned when arguments opened, j
Attorney Alfred J. Murphy pre
sented seventy requests on behalf of ]
the plaintiff. Tlicy asked that the
court instruct the jury that the Tri
bune charge, "Ford is an anarchist,"
is libelous on the face of it, without
further proof; and that among other
libels were reference to Mr. Ford as
"an anarchistic enemy of the na
tion." "a man so ignorant as Henry
Ford" and "an ignorant idealist."
Attorney Murphy insisted that the
.jury be charged that only the com
mon meaning of the word "anar
chist" be considered, nnd denied that
the right of. fair comment applied
to the plaintiff because he was not
a public official.
, "I charge you that none of the
articles attributed to Mr. Ford tend
to show that he is an anarchist,"
read Attorney Murphy.
