Literature Can Be Found At
Mt. Vernon Public Library

Three of the most interesting of the
many books brought into prominence
by the present war have recently been
added to the public library. Germany
And The Next War" was written by
General Frederick Won Bernhard in
1911, as protest against the univers-
al peace movement It interprets the
attitude of the war party in Germany
and accurately forecasts the events Of
the present war. In reply to this book
Germany And England" was written
by ]. A. Cramb. late professor of mod.
ern history at Queens College, Lon
don. It explains the relationship Of
Germany and England from the earli-
est times and gives the causes Of the
war from the English point of view.
Frank A. Simonds, of the New York
Evening Sun, has outlined the causes
and events in the war in this book,
the complete title Of which Is The
Great War From the Assassination
of the Archduke to the Fall Of Ant
werp." This was written to answer
the question what Does it all MeanT
A knowledge of the early history, the
manners and customs of the people
and the environment in which they
live is necessary in order to appreci-
ate fully and understand the present
conditions in Europe.
The library has made collection Of
books that bear on these subjects.

company with the alleged victim" in
a white slave case which he prosecut-
ed, will come up for hearing tomor-
row in the Roxbury District court.
Cameron is charged with bigamy and
non-support. Wife No. 2 is a pretty
French girl of Lawrence, Mass, Miss
Malvina Beaudry, on whose evidence,
secured by Cameron few years ago,
an alleged white-slaver was convicted
and sent to prison for long term.
During the trial, the attentions of
Cameron to his pretty witness were
the cause of his later dismissal from
the government service. He left his
Roxbury home. saying he was going
to Canada to enlist for the war. He
was traced to the home of the Law
renee girl. and the Boston police found
him hidden there under bed. y

the result of some serious blood trouble

the many peculiar effects of impure blood.

peared at the house and requested to

into the kitchen, but they had not
been there long when Flynn and the
stranger got up and said they had to
go to another farm house further
down the road and requested Williams
to remain at the Wyker home. Mr..
Wyker became suspicious that some.
thing was doing after the two men
left the house and started out to in

Colome, April 24.-While in a

Eastman, a mixed-blood Brule Sioux
Indian, attempted to "shoot up" the
new town Of Wood. Amid a hail of
bullets he was arrested and when
taken before Judge Williamson, of

sentenced to a term of thirty days
in Jail for his e~scapade. He sudden
ly appeared in the town, mounted
on a pony and booted and spurred
and armed with a siX-shooter. 1t
was not long until he decided he
must have a little excitement. Rid
ing his pony at a gallop through the
streets he fired bullet after bullet
into the business houses. During
the bombardment there was a wild
scramble on the part of the business
men and other residents to get out
of the way of the flying bullets. The
sheriff and states attorney made the
trip from White River to Wood in
record time in IN automobile and by
risking their lives succeeded in MAX
