the summer visiting with
relatives and friends IN Sweden,
in which Mr.. Nystrom stated that
they had been having a fine time
and expected to start for home ir
a few days. He did not mention
anything about the war in the

he is visiting.

HELP WAR SUFFERERS.
German American Alliance Raises
Big Sum For This Purpose.

AT the special meeting of the
Great Bend branch of the German
American Alliance held in this
city Saturday afternoon a gOodly
sum was raised for the purpose
of assisting in the relief of the
German and Austrian families,
whose condition is affected by the
war now going on in those coun-
tries, and will also go toward pro-
curing nurses and attention for
the wounded soldiers. A partial
list of those already contributing
is published elsewhere in this is
sue, and the list will be left at the
First National Bank in charge of
Fred Miller and Fred Hans where
others who feel so inclined can
leave any amount they see fit to
give toward this most worthy
cause, and it is to be hoped that
every German-American in the
county, and that means about 60
per cent of our population, will
make some contribution. be the
amount ever so small. Similar
contributions are being taken up
all over the United States and the
money will be placed in charge of
the German ambassador at Wash
ington, who will see that every
cent is wisely expended where il
will accomplish the most good.
1t is not the men folks who suffer
most during the time of war, but
the families who are left at home,
many of them practically deSti-
tute, and any contribution is a
help toward a most worthy cause.
