KINDS OF FRIGHT.

arations are being made here today
to receive the first battleship squad.
ron of the North sea feet of the
German navy. A permanent station
will be established here for the ac-
tive fleets.
After arrival the squadron will
have accomplished important tacti-
cal maneuvers, including battle
practice and target work in the vic.
unity of the island of Heligoland.
Like Hawk Over a Bird.
London March. 31.--With the last
rumor of war between England
and Germany, still echoing, another
scare was started today when the
newspapers published the story OF
the departure of the first German
squadron for the North sea for man
euvers.
When the squadron sailed 1t was
stated that it would remain perma-
nently in the North Sea instead of
in the Baltic as was heretofore the
case.
Many politicians are inclined to
look on this latest move of Germany
as another step in her preparations
for war with England, which every
one accepts as inevitable.
According to the plans announced
by the German government the first
squadron will carry out a series OF
maneuvers in the vicinity of the sta
ton of Hellgoland and then proceed
to Wilhelmshaven which has been
named as n permanent station for
the fleet
English experts say that with Will
helmshaven as a base, the German
squadron could descend on the Eng
| lish coast at moments notice. AS
result the establishment of the
new North sea station by Germany
will probably result in the shifting
of some of England's fighting ships
from the southern station at Lands
End in the channel to North sea
ports.

Not to be outdone by our neighboring
town of Webster our court did a little
business in the line of auto fines the past
week and one of our citizens paid fine
for the violation of the law, both state

violators of the law are halted, some
sore spots are left. We have often
wondered why some people harbor such
a disregard for the law that they will
endanger their own lives as well as the
lives of others in running an automo-
bile around town or evenin the country
after dark without lights. We have
heard it remarked that the owners of
automobiles were divided into three
classes: the rich who can afford them,
the mechanics and the fools. A man
who will run machine around town or
country after dark, exceeding the speed
limit and without light, is entitled to
charter membership in the fool class.
A few applications of the law on such
will have soothing effect.
