(United Press) The American Bed Cross to day started out to help win the war against the German Kaiser and the American mosquito. ' Great armfes of skecters now in fecting the vicinities of cantonment camps that will hold America's first 687,000 drafted men next month, are looked upon by the war department as strongly pro-German. "These mosquitoes," said a govern ment official today, "would' shoot an American soldier full of malarr'a as readily as the Kaiser would, shoot him full of lead. "One is just about as 'bad as the other." Experience proves that the mo squito has no patriotism in his make up. He is all buzz and stingei. In the southern states, where b'rer mosquito scatters malaria like the Kaiser scatters peaca p-oposals, the Red Cross has alread Parted its bit; drive on the nightingale of the bed room.

Almost every night the men find something to shoot at. In several in stances paths left by prowlers have been found. The real thrill, however, comes where two sentry posts cross. The sentry often is unable to tell whether the figure he sees through the dark iia a fellow sentry or some prowler. Shots have been exchanged several times by the sentries. .

ECONOMIC WAR WILL FOLLOW ONE NOW ON. Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 29. (Unit ed Press) A great economic war will follow the conflict now raging in Eu rope, according to a circular issued by the Central committee of ship builders of France which has arrived here. The circular is entitled "Pre parations for After the War." According to the figures of .ie France shipbuilders, the six largest German companies have either com pleted or have in the course of con struction fifty-three sr.eamshjvps with a total tonnage of 794,000 gross tons and nine vessels, the tonnage of which has not been determined. In addi tion, a score of other, 'but smaller, concerns are building fhips and new companies are being organized from time to tfime. The world's greatest steamship has been built in Germany during the war. She is called the Bismark, owned by the Hamburg-American line, and her gross tonnage is' 56,000, which is 2000 tons larger than the mighty Vather land, which was seized by the United You Don't Have To Break Laws To' Get Pinched In Spokane Spokane, Wash., Aug. 29 (Special) No matter how slowly you drive your auto, how closely you observe the rules of the road, how careful you are about lights and licenses you will surely be held up by Spokane traffic officers as soon as you enter 'this city if your car comes from another state. When the neatly uniformed motor cycle copper speeds up alongside your car and w'th uplifted hand gives you the stop signal the following dialogue usually ensues: Officer Pardon me, but you come from , don't you T Trembling Autoist Yes, but I haven't broken any laws yet. I Officer I know that. My object in stopping you is only to bid you welcome to 'Spokane and to give you any .information ' that may help to make your stay pleasant. I also want to present you with this booklet which will tell you about motor trips in this vicinity. Then the bluecoat hands out "Forty Journeys Into the Green Summer Playground" containing road maps, trip data and pictures of nearby beau ty spots. He also slips in a copy of the city's traffic ordinance. That's all, except that a 'I new friend is made for Spokane and the incident is indelibly impressed upon the traveler as an unexpected courtesy in a strange city.

The most unique farm in the United States will be sown in wheat or alfalfa this fall, ft will be fifty five miles long and 200 ft. wide and will occupy the land which represents the present right-of-way of the Denver & Laramie railway which will be "junked" September 1 by v its owner, M.

AMERICA'S ENTRY HELP ' THINKS OUT IN SPAIN London, Aug. 8 (By mail) (Unit ed Press) America's entrance into the war has greatly simplified Eng land's difficulty in dealing with tho pro-German intriguers in Spain. The most effective weapon England has for persuading the Spanish to deal firmly with the anti-Ally forces is the blockade. By threatening to cut off needed supplies such as coal and food-stuffs, England has been, able to partly check the hostile movement. But Spain's strength and England's weakness in the matter before Ameri ca's entrance has been due to the fact that Spain was always in a position to defy the latter and draw (her need ed imports from the United States. Spain, not being contiguous to Ger many and therefor unable to reexport any American imports to the Central Powers, England realized she would have had no valid excuse for inter fering with Spanish-American trade. Now, however, with a common Anglo-American blockade pot'ey, the Allies are on much surer ground and are not expecting any further serious difficulty with Spain regarding the harboring of U-boats, submarine bases and Teutonic propaganda. o-- States government at the outbreak of the war. Other great steamers of 30,000 and ' 40,000 tons are being built now in Germany for the war rfter the war, according to tho circular.
