(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. Testimony that Edward Lyell, Fox, writer, was sent to Germany in 1915 by German embassy to write German propaganda which was distributed by the Hearst international service, was presented today to! the senate committee investigating the brewers and enemy propaganda by Captain G. B. Lester of the army intelligence service. In response to questions, Captain Lester said there was nothing in the army intelligence cords showing whether Hearst, or the managers of the news service knew Fox was in the pay of the German government.

The witness read a telegram sent from the German embassy in Washington to the German foreign office on September 9th, 1914, saying "Chicago Tribune is a friendly paper." SITUATION The "Flu" seems to have reached the minimum and to remain at practically the same level day after day. The situation is as good as could be hoped for so long as the disease persists in other sections of the county and state. But one home that of- L. S. Cardon has been quarantined since yesterday, and the total of new cases is three; while quarantine has been raised from the homes of Asa Bullen and Niels Carlson, and three cases have been realeased.

The of ficial score is now 9 quarantines and 19 cases. It should be remembered by all street car patrons that they must positively put on a mask be fore entering a car, and keep it on as long as they remain in it. Another thing to be remembered is that wherever masks are required to be worn it must not be as an earring or chin strap, but in such manner as to fully cover both nostrils and mouth, and the police are going to be on the alert for violations, and the City Justice holds court for the violators at all hours. The advice still is, hurry up that Christmas shopping so as to avoid overcrowding the stores during the last week preceding the holidays. With universal observance of the masking requirements there need be no apprehen sion of contagion in the ordinary course of shopping.

The people who complain most about the exactions of the food producers are frequently the same ones who had too many social engagements to do any canning this fall.
