FIRST DISCORD
IN THE EMPIRE
MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED IN
SOUTH AFRICA OVER ENTIRE
BRITISH POSSESSIONS

London, Oct. 13.-The rebellion of
a section Of the Dutch element in
South Africa, which broke out today
with the suddenness of bolt from a
clear sky, is the first note that marred
the harmony of the British empire
since the outbreak Of the European
war. 1t has momentarily diverted at
tention from the arenas near the heart
Of the empire. .,..
That this rising is real dangerous is
sufficiently proved by official dispatch
es from Governor General Buxton to
the imperial government and by the
drastic step of General Louis Botha
and his colleagues, taken to stamp it
out by the imposition of martial law
in the whole union of South Africa.
The proclamation of martial law
directly charges a widespread secret
propaganda Of the Germans with be-
ing responsible for the seduction of a
British command which had been sent
against German colonies.
Capetown, Union of South Africa,
Oct. 13.-It is officially announced
mere C1ldG Iuc COulIIlduu uHUeT OOlOnSl
Maritz has rebelled in the northwest
of the cape provinces. Martial law has
been proclaimed throughout the union.
The proclamation is signed by Lord
Buxton, governor general of the union,
and countersigned by General Smutz,
minister of defense.
1t begins by stating war exists be-
tween the British and German en-
pires; that the government of the
protectorate of German Southwest
Africa, through widespread secret
propaganda, persistently endeavored
to seduce citizens of the union and
officers and members of the defense
forces for the union from their
allegiance and to cause rebellion and
civil war within the union."
The proclamation further alleges
After detailing Colonel Maritz defec-
tion, "That the government of Ger
man Southw est Africa, through spies
and secret agents, corrupted many
citizens under pretext of favoring the
establishment of republic in south
Africa"

CLOTH TRADE
IS THREATENED
DYE SHORTAGE CAUSED BY THE
WAR THREATENS THREE 3
INDUSTRIES

Three great industries, cotton,
wooden and silk, which form the back
bone of the dry goods business are
threatened today with paralysis as a
result of the European war.
The critical situation in these in
dustries is due to the sudden cessation
of the importation of dyestuffs, large
percentage of which come from Ger
many.
Dealers in these products through
out the United States decline to fore
cast where the prices may go, but it
is probable that new price records
will be established.
Marshall Field & Co., today issued
statement pointing out the serious
ness of the situation and asserting
that the present supply of dyes in this
country probably is sufficient for only
two or three months.
The statement given out for the
trade reads:
"Our stocks in all lines are in ex-
cellent shape to take care of any i'm
mediate demands of retailers. Stocks
of foreign goods will be extremely
depleted after early fall shipments
have been made, and even though
ocean shipping should be re-establish-
ed, it will be difficult to obtain foreign
merchandise of any kind. Manufac-
turing organizations abroad are
broken up, and it will take consider
able time to get in shape enough to
supply their home wants. Ocean
freigEts have advanced more than 50
per cent already and will probably go
higher.
"War insurance rates equal Is per
cent of the cost of merchandise, and
it is very difficult to obtain even at
this rate. Rates Of exchange are al
most prohibitive. All. going to make
for higher prices
"The cotton, woolen and silk indus
tries of the United States are facing
2 serious problem through one impor-
tant item alone-dye stuffs-the larg-
est percentage of which comes from
Germany. Our supply of dive stuffs is
very short and may last only two or
@hree months. This will seriously af-
feet the production of merchandise in
this country.
GA great many of our mills operate
with imported warns, and when the
present available stock is exhausted
the production of these mills will
cease. With these facts in view we
are certain to have shortage in the
supply of foreign merchandise. also
domestic merchandise, when foreign
ingredients or raw material are used
in manufacturing.-Chicago Tribune.

BOSTON WINS IN
FOUR STRAIGHT
WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP GOES
TO BOSTON-BROKEA ALL REC
ORDS-WINS FOUR STRAIGHT

Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 49,
The Boston Braves are the worlds
champions of 1914. They defeated the
Philadelphia Athletics today by the
score of 3 to 1, winning the series
with four straight games, the cham
pions of the American league not cap
turing contest.
Rudolph pitched masterful game,
winning his second contest of the
series today. The Philadelphians
could not catch his elusive slow ball
when hits would have sent runs over
the plate.
The Bostons outgamed and outplay-
ed their opponents today in every de-
partment. They clinched their VIC
tory in the fifth inning after two men
were out with Rudolph's single,
Moran's double, and Evers' solid blow
to center.
It was the first time that worlds
series has been won in four straight
games, and after the last man was out
the Athletics rushed over and congrat-
ulated their rivals. The spectators
went mad with Joy and paraded the
field singing and cheering.
"The worlds championship in four
straight games" was the cry Of the
triumphant Boston Braves, champions
of the National league, as they swung
their battle formations against the
Athletics today in the fourth game of
the worlds baseball series.
The weather was cool with a slight
wind, but there was no indications of
rain.
Rudolph and Gowdy were announced
as the battery for Boston. Shawkey
and Schang were announced as the
battery for Philadelphia.
In Boston's lineup Gowdy batted in
place of Deal, who is batting eighth.
Byron gave decisions behind the
plate. Hildebrand on the bases, KLEIN

REPUBLICANS
UNITED AGAIN
THOUSANDS WHO VOTED FOR
WILSON WILL VOTE REPUBLI-
CAN TICKET THIS FALL

indianapolis, Oct. 14.-James p.
Goodrich, who represents the State of
Indiana on the Republican National
Committee and who is one of the
keenest and most conservative politi-
cal observers in the country, has just
issued statement on the Indiana sit
uation. In part, Mn Goodrich says:
"The return of Republicans who vot-
ed the progressive ticket two years
ago has been steadily increasing as
they are brought to a realization of
the real situation. Thousands of them
came back in the municipal elections
last fall. Every state and municipal
election, every primary wherever held,
and every registration has been but
the story of the increasing purpose of
Republicans to again unite under the
banner of the Republican party.
"We know many thousands of DEM
ocrats and Republicans who voted for
Wilson will vote the Republican ticket
this year and no one knows this bet
ter than Tom Taggart himself. No
one knows better than he that the real
the dangerous opponent of his party
in Indiana is the Republican, not the
Progressive party. What better SER
vice can he render his party than to
attempt to strengthen the Progress
sive party which he knows is not his
real opponent? Every vote for the
progressive ticket is at least one-half
vote nearer victory for the Demo-
Gratis.
GAS we study the history of Ameri-
can politics we find the sure and un-
failing indication Of the decadence of
a political organization is praise from
the party in power-or from the chief
opponent of that party. It was so
with the Greenback party; it was true
of the Populist party; of the Gold
Democratic party and now that the
Progressive Party has served it's pur-
pose and is fast going its way history
is again repeating itself and one of
the chief boosters Of the Progressive
party is found in the genial boss of
the Democratic party-Mr. Taggart
of French Lick.
"The rank and file of those who
voted the Progressive ticket are non
est, sincere men, who desire above all
things the restoration of a protective
tariff, an end to the riot of extrava-
gance and high taxes and the defeat
of the Democratic party"

picturing the making of the Maxwell
car from the steel to the completed

lean industry. The pictures will be

Mr.. Brothers informs US that the
springs and the mode of handling has
been inspected by Prof. Simpson Of
the State University and he reports
that the cleanliness and sanitaryness
of everything connected with the
springs is all that the users Of this
water could ask. This, together with
the analysis Of the sample submitted
by Mr.. Stenehjem ought 10 convince
the most skeptical that the report
which seems to have gained credence
has no foundation in fact.
