IN LORRAINE, Sept. 20. ((11:30

German troops recently were order
ed to be more methodical in the'de-1
struction of property in the regions
evacuated by them. An order from
the commander of the 108th infan
try brigade to the rear guards, dated
September 3, says:
"A recent army order demands
that we proceed in the future with
more method and less baste In the
destruction of indicated property.
The divisions' already have been noti
fied that they will be held responsi
ble for buildings not destroyed in
their areas. In consequence all
preparation should be made for fir
ing (straw collected, etc.)
"Lieutenant Krause with his pla
toon already has received special ot
ders regarding th destruction of
certain localities. He Is to destroy
the northen section of Commenchon,
Ugny-Le-Gay. Villequier-Aumont. Le
Galnel, Faillouel. Frleres-Faillouel
and the roads joining them with
Mennessis as well as the bridges on
the roads west.
"All soldiers are bound to assist
to the best of their ability in the ex
ecution of this mission. The rear
guard battalions will select groups
to complete the work of destruction.
These detachments will not , set fire
to things until the right moment. It
will be remembered that there are
means to defile all wells. Mines
must not get exploded too soon."
The Tillages mentioned in the
foregoing order, are wect of LaFere
and now are held by the French.
They, were given up by the Germans
in their retirement from Ham early
in September.
Polk County Men Ordered
to Report for War Duty
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. William
A. DeFord, genera counsel of the :
Star company, publishers of William
R. Hearst's newspapers, the New
York American and the New York
Evening Journal, issued a statement
tonight explaining, his connection
with the Growing. Circulation cor
poration, the concern through which
Arthur Brisbane received the funds
from brewers which enabled him to
purchase the Washington Times) as
disclosed yesterday by A. Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian.
Mr. DeFord, who was named as
one of the directors of the corpora
tion, said he had resigned from the
corporation on March 11, 1916, more
than a year prior to the date of the
loan of $375,000 made through the
concern to Brisbane by C. W. Fei
genspan, as trustee for a number of
brewers. John T. Sturdevant and
Thomas McEntegart, also named as
directors of the corporation. likewise
resigned and there was elected as
president Mr. Brisbane's father in
law, Seward Carey, with two of the
directors, as secretary and other di
rectors. The corporation said Mr. DeFord,
was organized on January 13, 1916,
at Mr. Brisbane's request as an in
strumentality for the delivery of
Hearst's newspapers and Brisbane
asked him, together with Sturtevant,
his associate, and McEnetgart, a
clerk in his office, to act temporarily
a incorporators and directors. The
Star company afterward declined to
contract with the corporation for the
distribution of its papers, "and the
Growing Circulation corporation"
thereafter remained a mere shell.
Later Brisbane advised -him that he
; "desired to take over the nominal
1 as. well as the actual ownership" and
to elect directors of his own choice.
This was done at the meeting held
March 11, 1916. "the first and only
meeting of this company .which eith
er Mr. Sturtevant, Mr. McEntegart
or myself attended," after authoriz
ing an issue of $10,000 capital stock
ito Mrs. Alice Brisbane Thursby, Bris
bane's sister, for $10,000 in cash,
DeFord and his associates resigned
and the other officers and directors
were elected.
Trie corporation transacted no
business" said Mr. DeFord, "while
I, or any member of my staff was
connected with its directorate, or
while it3 records were in my posses
sion; and, therefore, 1 never knew,
until the publication of Mr. Palmer's
statement, mat tne corporation pos
sessed any funds or had transacted
any business."

James Ham Lewis of Illinois, who
has ju?t returned from France and

The German rulers. Senator Lewl
said, are aware that the people, or
Germany have awakened to a reali
zation of the power of General Per
shing's troops, and "the spirit of
German nionarchs and military cap
tains has been shattered," by thif
knowledge.
France and Great Britain, he add
ed, freely admit that the entrance of
American fighters into the fray has
turned the tide. Premier Clemen
eeau told him. the senator'said. that
America's prowess was "the salvation
o' the hour." while the nritur
prime minister, declared that the "in
fluence of President W flon and Am

her people was equivalent in Itseir
to a new British army."
The humiliation of the German
military bv fresh troops of Ameri

German people cleaning their houe
of the military monsters and estab

his testimony. He likewise stated
that a 200-foot ditch, in payment for
the work on which Blue had claimed
to have expended certain sums, was
constructed by the King wood Park
company and not by the citv.
Another hitch came in Blue's re
port to the council that he had on
hand Janaury 13. 1914. $S0 in the
city treasury. On Mar 25. 1914, his
next report showed that there was
no balance and that no bills had been
paid. The defense maintains that
the council had ratified his handling
of the funds and had not questioned
their usage at that tiire.
Blue's story was. tola simply and
straightforwardly.
"At the time I began doing work
for West Salem before it was Incor
porated there was, of course, no city
attorney," he said. "The understand
ing was that I was to be paid before
the; Incorporation and when finally
elected to office no salary was al

for fees and expenses."

When he left for Alaska he hid

This was entered as the account of

Mr. Cunningham's report of his

city $2356. Ail but $295.70 was ap
parently accounted for yesterday by
the defendant, who showed that the
expert had not been supplied with a
number of items of expense, which
he summed up as follows:

Difference In the valuation Cun
ningham placed on the water power
plant bought by the city and the
actual purchase price. $S00. This
was explained by the lack of Infor

ningham slid he took the appraised
valuation of the plant minus the real
estate belonging to it. When he
looked up the deed he found that It

Therefore he ha J used $10 as wotk

These figures make a total of

; When questioned a to the $100

th' covered two years' work.

he did not come for it until four days

.he replied, "It was probably Waters'
request."
Waters gave $1000 o fthls and
