Dif6n10r Has
Cousin In
German War

Whether his favorite cousin alieuten-
ant in the German navy is dead in the
North sea or still fighting with the
kaiser is question that shares equally
with Edward F. Dithmar's anxiety in
his present campaign for the nomina-
ton for lieutenant governor on the re-
publican ticket. His cousin, Adolph
Dithmar has been in the kaiser's navy
for many years. Other less close rela-
tives of Mr.. Dithmar, hold commissions
in the kaiser's sea forces.
81 last heard from cousin Adolph
Just before the war;" said Mr.. Dith-
mar, who was here to meet with re-
publican friends. "His letter gave no
intimation of the present European
conflict. We we're great chums dur
ing my visits in Germany and were
together during all of his leave of ab-
sence. His fate is causing me sleep
less hours and a good deal of worry.
I've tried to get word to him but have
1dlISu hIlOW CIldb cSo oOO11 S@S AAS NcAAi
get message through he will let me
know his whereabouts.
Mr.. Dithmar knows the entire lay OF
the land in which the war is now rag
ing and he reads the brief dispatches
with keen interest. He knows all the
country about Liege and has traversed
past of the border country in which the
Russians are now fighting the Germans.
Only few years ago he made a tour
of Europe and spent several months
with relatives at Marburg and Wies-
baden. His grandfather, George The
dore Dithmar, is professor
in Marburg university.
Many other relatives reside in Wiss-
baden, the famous health resort which
has frequently entertained the Royal
family.
AS soon as the Wisconsin campaign
is over Mr.. Dithmar intends 10 re-
new his efforts to get into communi-
cation with mis- cousin. He has the
hope that there may be a way to reach
him through his Lutheran church con-
nectiOns at home and abroad.

Stock Manipulation Old.

That the idea of stock manipulation
as a quick road to riches is not of
modern origin is evidenced by the
fact that a group of Englishmen, near.
ly all of them men of prominence and
good standing, were found guilty of
conspiracy to commit a fraud by max
ing false report on the death of Ma
poleon for the purpose Of raising the
price of the funds. At the head of
the conspiracy was Sir Thomas. com.
monty called Lord Cochrane, who was
a member of parliament Sir Thomas
was expelled from the house of com.
mons and also expelled from the Or.
der of the Bath Several of his asso-
ciates In the conspiracy were fined or
