LETTERS CAN GO WITH PARCELS
POST

An order issued from the postal de-
partment at Washington makes it pos
sible to send letters with parcels post
packages, provided they are sent as
first class matter. The letter and pack
age must each have it's respective post
age and must be addressed to the same
party. Up to this time a person wish
inc to send communication with a
package had to send it separately,
which in many instances caused one to
be delivered later.

That Europe is not secure against an invasion Of the s.eeping sickness is the conclusion of Dr. Diesins, who
 is a staff physician in the German service Although the disease origin ates with a small fly the glossina, Dr. uiesing has succeeded in proving that infected animals can communi- cate the disease to others in regions where this fly does not exist; and he assumes that it can be just as easily transmitted from man to man. He proposes Therefore that sanitorium be established in the Canary Islands. wlere Europeans returning from Ar rica infected with the disease shall be Quarantined until cured

Chahlottenburg, largest of the cities joine dto Berlin to form greater Der lin, has joined the ranks of municipal ities seeking the repeal of an old 'aw requiring at least twothirds of the aldermen to be house owners. Danzig made a similar appeal to the Prussian Diet five years ago but the appeal was killed in committee without dis Cussion. l. is doubtful whether Char lotte1burg will fare better
 Conditions have changed SO great " since the law complained of was enacted-during the days of Barn Stein, one of the great figures of the struggles of 1S13-that the municipa)i- ties are greatly Handicapped in find ing representative men for aldermen. A hundred years ago the great major ity of all houses in the cities were oc- cupied by their owners, who held them for long terms of years and gen. orally during their whole life Today a quarter of all houses in Berlin have been in the same hands for only two years, and half of them for less than six In Charlottenburg itself 70 per cent of all houses have changed hands in the last ten years
 Two other elements enter into the situation. One is the fact that many houses are owned by corporations; the other, that a great proportion Of them are held by non-residents One third Of the buildings in Charlotten, burg are owned by persons who do not live in the city. In existing con ditions in the real estate world by far the greater part of houseowners have only trifling interest in the houses nominally owned by them, mortgages encumberng the places for all they would bring at a forced sale.
 An important step in combating the excessive use of alcohol by so- diers has been taken by commander of four army corps, the fourteenth fifteenth. sixteenth and twenty-frst who have issued orders doing away with what was in effect compnlsiou to drink beer or nothing on holidays

GERMANY SEES
 RUSSIAN MENACE
GROWTH OF ANTI GERMAN SEN TIMENT IN THE BIG EMPIRE
 CAUSES UNEAstNESs
Arrest and Detention of German Bal loonists by Russians is the Cause of Grave Concern.

Berlin, May lG.-lt is not only as a possible military opponent that Ger many is uneasy about Russia. The tone of the press daily SHOWS thal there is much anxiety over the possi- bility of a cadet war. as well as mnch uneasiness over what Is believed here to be a growth of antiGerma1 sentt ment in the big empire on the east.
 In some of Russias recent steps German observers believe they see combination of military and trade pur- poses. One of htese Is the prohibition Of the export of horses, destined to keep in Russia ali available mounts for cavalry forces, but which also ar fleets German business interests The already reported proposal 10 forbid Russian aborers from coming to Ger many each harvest time would be severe blow to the agriculturists, and the proposed increase of import tariffs 6n grains, now under consider. ation by the Russian government, would practically cut off an important market Germany exported 10 Russia last year 23l 900 tons Of rye. 2.000 tons of wheat and 3S,000 tons of oats. These figures do not include the con. siderable exports to Finland
 The long detention at Perm of Hans Berliner and his two companions. wao landed there after a record flight in their balloons, and the determina ton Of Russian authorities to bring them to trial ol charges of espionage are generally considered in Germany as reprisals for a number of recent unfortunate incidents che of which also was responsible for German in. dustry losing an important contract This was the ease of man named Popow. an engineer Of the Russian ministry of railways who came to Germany to buy a number of river steapmrs for his ministry. He was arrested on suspicion of being a spy. He left for London immediately upon his release, saying ne would give the contracts to English firms As a result of his experience the Russian railway ministry is contemplating placing no further orders ia Germany unless the German firms or persons with whom the dealings are had are willing to furnish a cash bond to as- sure the Russian agents against being arrested Naturally no one will risk the loss of considerable sum through the underheadedness of any minor official. and such regulation would mean the practical exclusion of German industry from the Russian field.
 Another of these unfortunate incl dents was the arrest in Cologne Of Captain Poliakow of the Russian marine industry He was charged with picking pockets. He was reieas ed shortly afterward and the police men who made the error have been punished but the incident was further trial for Russias patience. It | is not likely that there will be an cut | andout trade war or boycott but it is | felt by many Germans in high places | that Russia is carrying on what is | called in German diom, "a policy Of | pin bricks and that it is doing n.th- | ing to check the growth of alt-Ger- l man sentiment

Britain Tells How Germany
Incjted Turks to Enter War

London. Nov. 3.--The foreign office
ISSUED a long statement dealing with
the situation in Turkey;
Since the war, German officers in
large numbers have invaded Con-
stantinople, have ursurped the power
of the government and have been able
to coerce the sultan's ministers into
taking up the policy of aggression.
Great Britain as well as France and
Germany has watched these proceed
.Ings patiently protesting against many
acts which AVE been constantly COM
mitted contrary to neutrality and
warning the government of the sultan
against the danger in which they were
placing the future OF the Ottoman en-
pire.
vigorously assisted by the ambas-
sailors Of Germany and Austria, Ger
man military elements in CONSTANT
nople have beer persistently doing
their utmost TO force Turkey into war,
both by activities in the service of
Turkey and by brides OF which they
have been so lavish.
The minister Of war with his Ger
man advisers has lately prepared an
armed force for attack upon Egypt. A

DIVORCED WIVES CANNOT
CLAIM WIDOWS PENSIONS

Aberdeen, s. D.. Nov. 3.--Judge
Thomas L. Bouek, in a case appealed
from the county court of Brown county,
reversed n decision OF County Judge
Taubman, in which the latter held that
divorced wives With dependent children
were entitled to pensions under the mo-
Tiers pension law of South Dakota.
Judge Taubman held that q divorced
husband was the same as a dead one,
so far as the intent of the South Dakota
law was held, and decided that two di-
vorced mothers in Brown county, in
connection with whose application for
a mothers pension the case was
brought into court, were entitled to the
pension. States Attorney Harkln,
acting for the board OF county COM
missioners of Brown county, appealed
to the state circuit court. and Judge
Bouck Of that court holds that the
mothers pension act does not apply
to divorced women for the following
reasons:
1. That thcle is no express autnur-
ity of law providing the allowance 10 a
divorced woman having children.
2. That IL is against public policy to
grant pensions in such cases because 1t
might encourage divorces for the sake
of getting the pension.
That when a divorce is granted it
only changes the status of the parties,
and does not change their duties or OBJ
legations toward their children.

Bulgaria VIII Remain Neutral;
Q her Balkans May Foj1ow Suit

London Nov. 3-BuIgaria. faced
With the bitter alternative of opposing
her former protector, Russia, or fight
ing with her enemies, Greece and
Seryia, If she joins in the war, has de-
cided, according to a message from
Sofia, to remain neutral. No word HIS
been received regarding the attitude OF
Greece and Rumania, whose partici-
patton in the war is regarded as I'M
likely.
Bulgaria virtually owes her existence
to Russia and she also is deeply obli-
gated to Great Britain for past favors.
She also is DESTROYS of securing Thrace
as far east as the Enos- Midia line,
which she was awarded by the powers
MT the London conference after the
Grst Balkan wal and which Turkey aft
erward took away from her. Her SYM
pathies naturally are with the allies,
but il would be awkward for her 10
fight with Servia and Greece. 1t is
understood the announcement of her
neutral attitude was in response to an
Inquiry from Petrograd.
II Italy becomes involved ii will be
to protect her Mediterranean interests.
italy, however, is having troubles of
her own. the Italian ministry having
resigned in a body because OF dissen-
Gion over the war policy of italy and
the question of raising revenues to
meet the deficit in current govern
mental revenues.

SENATOR STERLING MAKES
AN ADDRESS AT MITCHELL

Mitchell. s. D.. Nov. 2.-In an ad.
dress here last night, to an audience OF
about $50 people, > Senator Sterling
touched very lightly on the Burke
question, merely urging the election of
South Dakota's r~eactionary leader on
the ground that he would help support
the American policy OF protection.
Senator Sterling did not voice approval
of Burke's suggestion to withdraw the
government deposits from the national
banks and permit Wall street to manip-
ulate financial affairs as of yore.
Senator Sterlinp said hat he n
most of his republican colleagues can
be relied upon to support the president
on his neutrality program and on his
Mexican peace program, but that the
republicans would continue to fight
against the democratic tariff policies.
Although the senator expressed a
general Endorsement of Burke, Governor
Byrne and other republican candidates,
he practically ignored state issues, not
even saying a good word for equal
suffrage, although some of the Huron
suffrage leaders claim he had promised
to give the cause a boost.

ness Man of Good Southern
Family.

Montrose. s.. D., Nov. Zone of the
men who were burned to death in the
destruction OF the City hotel, a small
lodging house in Montrose, concerning
whose identity there was considerable
mystery for a time. has been identified
as Edward Dye. member of a prominent
southern family, and who during his
younger years was a prosperous busi-
ness man in Oklahoma. His identity
was revealed as the result OF informa-
ton given privately by the dead man
some months before his tragic death
to Father McCawliff, pastor OF the
Montrose Catholic church. He vas
married and is survived by his father
and mother, who reside at Lucas, Kan,
a brother, several sisters and two sons,
the later being residents OF Oklahoma.
Years ago while residing I'm Oklahoma
and conducting a prosperous business
there he had domestic trouble and sep
arated from his wife. giving her all his
property. He then became a wandered,
took to drink and degenerated into q
derelict, little above the common hobo.
The former prosperous business man
died like a rat in a trap when the flames
spread so rapidly that he could not
make his escape from the burning
building.
