A report to this effect recently published, and credited to the United States depart? ment of agriculture, probably originat? ed from the fact tha' a mixture of :orn meal nnd water had been used by a department speclallst to start the lacttc-aold ferment In cull pota? toes put up for feed in the form of tilage. This starter has been used In the case of vegetables fermented for food but It Is not the preserving fer? ment, the specialists explain; It only etarta this ferment It Is not recom? mended for household use, however.

Secret; ry Of war. told a great uudlence tonight at the stadium o; the college of the city of New York where final exercises of the Fourth of July celebration were held, that while the nation was preparing on a gigan? tic scale for war "we must light for democracy here at home as our armies will tight tor democracy abroad." "In the midst of our military en? thusiasm we must he actually loyal to our own political theo-ies here," continued Mr. linker. "We must fight for democracy abroad. All this reor? ganization of industry must be made without the loss of the great physical und social gains which we have achieved in the last hundred years. "We must not allow the hours ami conditions of people who work in fac? tories and workshops to be upset nr. d interfered with.

They will come. It may be with their rank: somewhat thinned by sacrifices, but with themselves glorified by accom? plishment. Ami when these heroes step ashore and tell us what they have won for democracy in IOurope. we must be able to tell them in re turn that we have kept the faith of democracy at home and won battle here for that cause while they were fighting there." Red Fox James, a Plaekfoot Indian, aroused the audience when he plead? ed that his race be given a place in the war. "My own people, the North Amer. can Indian, has heard the call to arms." he said, "but you will not let us answer. Do you not need us in this terrible conflict? Are we to re? main inactive when 50,000 Indians are ready to serve as cavalry? "From all over the West we stand ready to spring to the saddle.

The crowd of ."?0,000 01 more people cheered the French actress and demanded a speech. Madame Bernhardt responded in French. "As a French woman,*' she said, "i thank America, for she has done the most glorious act of the war in rais? ing her ilag in the eenler of the Hags of the Allies.

The gravity of tin- crisis is confirmed am-| ply by such news as reaches Paris. I The Madrid correspondent of The Pe? tit Parisien, telegraphing Sunday, says the suspension of constitution; I guarantees by the government has no removed the unrest In Spain. The fact that the heavily censored Span? ish press publishes nothing concern Ins the internal situation seems to in? dicate that conditions are far from normal. Great importance is attached in political circles to two facts: First, that the king and queen canceled an engagement to attend a pool game; second, that a special cabinet meet? ing was held, at the conclusion of which Premier Dato went to the palace and had a long conference with the king. These circumstances have given rise to all sorts of comment, many persons seeing in them proof that the government had received se? rious news, but nothing so far has confirmed this view.
