The State Seal.

Hal1ock News: The Duluth Herald
has been discussing a revision or the
state seal Of Minnesota, on the round
that it does not picture present day

plowman and the Indian depicted In the

does not need fixing. It is good enough
for all eternity. 1t pictures the con-
ditions of the early days or the terri-
tory In a very graphic name and Will

able that a new state seal adopted IN
the year 1914 would be equally ooso-
lete fifty a hence? 49,.

reasons for jubilation.

CLEMENCEAU RAILS
AT HOSPITAL CARE
OF GERMAN WOUNDED
Bitter in Criticism of What
He Calls "Quixotic' Atti-
tude of Attendants, While
French Soldiers Bleed on
Battle6elds.

BORDEAUX, Sept 19.-Georges Clemen-
ccaus patriotism finds vent in an iron-
ical criticism in his paper L'Homme
Libre of the alleged quIxotic attitude Of
the hospital authorities toward the Ger
man wounded in large numbers, espe-
cially toward their hospital assistants
who are allowed to accompany them NJ.
Clemenceau says:
when 1 hear the question discussed
as to whether or not beds should be re-
served for the German nurses, while
our own are half dead from fatigue and
lie on mating in corridors, confess
that l refrain from interfering with great
difficulty The whole thing beats my
comprehension.
THE German wounded appear to be
free of any great suffering judging from
their appearance in front of bowls OF
steaming soup, stuffing their fill, Under
tho surveillance of bespectacled major,
talking and joking in their hoarse gut
turals, which make our men squirm as
they lie silently under blankets, and at
this moment say to myself:
How many of their comrades are
finishing our wounded on battlehelds7'
There should be limit to such stu.
pidity.
"In the hospital under notice saw yes-
terday a smiling young miss offer cigars
and chocolate TO wounded Germans. BY
all means let us respect and attend to an
enemy who has been wounded by our men
when they were endeavoring to encom-
pass our ruin This is well and good. But
when one of our men seeing these dainties
pass him asks sadly: Then, is all for
these gentlemen? Is there nothing for
us?' 1t does not seem right. The French
soldier added: 1T Is little hard to give
ones life on the battlefield and then see
those rewarded who tried to take it
II invite the Government to reflect on
these words of a French soldier.
ITO crown all, 1 learn that the be-
spectacled major heretofore mentioned Is
allowed TO leave the city in civil cos
tune. Comment on this is needless"

MAUBEUGE CAPTURED

City Suffered Severely From Bonn

LONDON, Sept. 10.
The Times correspondent at Boulogne
announces the fall OF Maubeuge in the
following dispatch:
"Maubeuge fell on September 7. The
investment began on August 25. On Au-
gust 26 the first shell was fired. On Au-
gust 81 the main attack was concentrated
on the forts to the north and east of the
city.
Forts de Boussols. des Essarts and de
Cerfontane and the earthworks of Rocq
were destroyed by heavy artillery.
''The town suffered severely from the
bombardment. which continued with
great violence for 12 days. More than a
thousand shells felr in one night near the
railway station and the Rue de France
was partially destroyed. The loss OF life.
however, was comparatively slight.

September white flag was hoistod on

Senator.
Last week q proposal was publicly
made In London by Mrs. Edward Lyt-
tlcton that there should be a general
token of mourning for those who in the
glorious exploits OF British arms in
France and Belgium have died for their
King and country This proposal was
to the effect that those families who
lose loved ones In the war should wear
some general phrase, such as For King
and Country"
The Duchess OF Devonshire, Lady
Lansdowne and other ladies' have an
nounced that for those OF their relatives
who die at the front they will not show
their sorrow as for those who come to
less glorious end" Their outward signs
of mourning will be restricted to the
wearing OF a plain white band on tho
sleeve.
The suggestion of this unpretentious
mark OF mourning, whether the band be
white or purple, Is generally approved

BRUSSELS FEARS FATE
SUFFERED BY LOUVAlN
Schoolhouses Filled With Straw
to Await Torch, Belgians Say.

LONDON, Sept. 10.
A courier who arrived from Brussels
with dispatches says the Belgans expect
to see Brussels treated as Louvaln was
before the Germans evacuate the city.
He says all the important public build-
ings, including the Palais de Justice and
the largest and most imposing private
residences, already have been mined by
the Germans as though to blow them up,
while schoolhouses and many other build
ings are filled with straw ready for the
torch.
The courier also declares that the Ger
mans have mined all roads leading into
Brussels but that the Bclgians think
they intend to make their principal stand
on the Namur-Liege line, as the forts and
other defenses are being reconstructed
and the work is going on night and day.
The Germans also have been preparing
FOR strong defense on the Valenciennes
line, According to the courier the Ger
mans now seem to be using Luxembourg
for their principal line OF communication
for their armies in France.
