OFFICERS FIND THAT
HOGAN HAD CRIMINAL
TRAIL IN MINNESOTA
Man Implicated in Shooting At

Webster, S. D., Sept. 16.-The Day
county authorities have discovered that
j. p. Hogan, who is serming a term
in the Sioux Falls penitentiary for be-
ing implicated IN a shooting scrape at
Andover last June, has a criminal
record elsewhere in the northwest. The
investigation of Hogan's record was
conducted by Sheriff Carrick of Day
county. He finds that prior to coming
to South Dakota and becoming involved
IN the difficulty here which landed him
in the ~penitentiary Hogan robbed 81
tailor shop at Mankato, Mimi. and
carried away about $500 worth of cloth
ing. After securing this plumber he rep
resented himself a. a travelling sales
mar and disposed of the stolen cloth
ing at bargain prices. He was captured
m served a term in the Minnesota
prison at saltwater.
1t is understood he had been released
only a short time prior to coming to
South Dakota last June. When he APP
peared here he again represented him
self as a travelling salesman, and he
had n large supply OF cigars, silks,
whisky and other merchandise. which
he sold throughout Day and other
at prices believed to be below
cost. He evidently stole these goods,
but just where has not yet been dis
covered. 1t is probable that additional
evidence will be secured against him
to warrant his rearrest as he steps
from the doors of the Sioux Fails peni-
tertiary after completing his present

WAR BRINGS FREEDOM
To JEWS OF RUSSIA
Gear Has Promised Restoration
of Poland to Natives
Jews Are Commissioned.

Washington. Sept. 15.-The European
war already has precipitated two
events of SURPRISING Importance and
interest to the world; yet they have
been lost sight of in the cataclysnlic
happenings in the actual theater of
hostilities.
The first of these events is the prom
Use of the car thai if victorious over
the Germans and Austrians he will
recreate the ancient kingdom of Po-
land, and under his suzerainty give to
the Poles complete civic freedom and
freedom of language and religion.
The second is the cars granting
commissions in his armies to Russian
Jews.
Each of these steps, in normal times,
would have aroused the most intense
interest, not only because of the ire
mendouS departure it marks from the
.Rge-long policy pursued, but because of
the effect the new course will have up
on the destiny of the Russian people
and their neighbors.
Russia has treated the Poles with
~lneXcusable brutality. Her attitude to-
ward the Jews has aroused the keenest
condemnation of the civilized world.
Now, in the extremity of war, requir-
ing the help of her owR Poles n her
own Jews and DESTROYS OF n~eutralizing
or obtaining the support Of the Poles
Of Germany and Austria, she is making
concessions to them which could not
have been wrung from her without
such a terrible oonf7ic& as that in pro-
e1eS.

CHARGE BELGiRNS
WITH ATROCITIES

New York, Sept I6.-Gouging ous OF
eyes, cutting out Of tongues, cutting
off Of limbs, numbering of those ready
to be taken to hospitals and treacher-
Gus assaults were among the atrocities
performed on wounded German soldi-
ers in Belgium by the lower classes Of
Belgians, according to a letter written
by Prince Henry, of Rouss, under date
Of August Is, to Count Won Bernstorff,
German ambassador to the United
States.
The letter, which was received yes
terday and made public today says in
part:
Il hope that we have already pro-
tested to h government at Brussels
against the frightful atrocities which
were committed and are still being
committed Gaiiy By the lower classes
of the Belgian population against our
wounded ones. 1t seems hi the Bel
gian government is either helpless or
else does not know the least about
these things, which are worse han the
cruelties committed during the Balkan
war.
Belgian government would be asked
from The Hague to take energetic
steps in the Belgian districts not yet
occupied by the Germans so that an
end is put to this detestable war of
Franc-tireurs and that army fights
only against army.
This will forever remain a shameful
spot in the history of Belgium. 1t also
seems that in Belgium the minor Cath
Olic clergy is carrying on an incessant
agitation.
The Belgian government apparently
has no idea about all these things and
1t surely does not meet with her inten-
tons that the Belgian people commit
the lowest crimes against humanity,
which naturally the Belgian govern
ment will have to be blamed for IN the
future. 1t is still time to prevent scores
Of crimes. The cruelties in question
are:
THE gouging out of eyes Of the
wounded soldiers, cutting out Of ton
gues, cutting off of limbs, numbering Of
the wounded who are lying on stretch
ers ready to be taken to the hospitals,
treacherous assaults by peasants, etc.
Priests. who received our troops in
| b friendly manne during the day, were
at night time detected with revolve1s
In their hands participating actively il

There is good reason to believe hat
the general board will advise the secre-
tary OF the navy that not less than six
first class battleships, 16 ~destroyerss
and eight submarines be added to the
sea forces Of the nation.
Even the small navy members of
