The following is printed in the
Nauvoo Rustier and is perpetrated by
the neighboring press:

Just another instance of the COM
mon error Of accepting European war
dispatches as reliable news. Why,
the first Germans got Into Warsaw
nearly seventy years ago, and with
the same logged persistency that has
marked their campaign in the present
European war they kept boring in,

The same in Nauvoo. Here the
Germans have permitted an American
to be mayor, with a council composed
of three Americans, one Frenchman
and only two Germans. Nauvoo was
captured by the Germans many years
ago and no better small town can be
found in Uncle Sans domain.
