that they are practically unanimous in
this belief, is apparent to anybody who
has come in contact directly or indi-
rectly with the German public 5enti-
ment. But who engineered this war
to destroy Germany, this war which
the Crown Prince himself describes as
"the most stupid, senseless and un-
necessary war of modern times?"
At the beginning Of the conflict,
Russia was pictured throughout Ger
many as the evil genius. France and
Great Britain were described as The de-
luded intruments Of Russian dup'icity
Suddenly the Russian scapegoat was
abandoned and England became the
head devil. All the concentrated hatred
of the empire is now directed against
the English, who are represented
everywhere as arch-conspirators who
are using France, Russia and Belgium
in cunningIy conceived plot to crush
Germany for the commercial and pol
itical profit of Great Britain. Nobody
in Germany seems to inquire why, if
Great Britain wanted war Sir Edward
Grey should have exerted himself to
prevent war, and should have offered
to abandon Russia and France if they
refused to agree to peaceful settle
ment of the issues raised by the Aus
trian ultimatum.
The Crown Prince may be quite sin
cere when he says the war was
forced upon us" but would there
have been war if Austria and Germany
had desired to prevent war?
Would there have been war at all
if Berlin or Vienna could have fore
seen the events Of the last four months?
Would the Austrian Government
have rejected Servia's request for
mediation if Vienna could have known
what the condition of the Austrian
army would be after four months of
conflict?
Would the Kaiser have declared war
against Russia on Aug. if all Ger
many had known that the German
army could reach neither Paris nor st.
Petersburg, and that Dec would find
it on the defensive along two frontiers?
II Germany and Austria, in the light
of their acquired military experience,
could turn the clock of history back
five months, would they again choose
the path they then chose?
That is the test of whether war
came from the outside or the inside.
No nation is fighting for it's existance
unless it is prepared to say in advance,
as John Adams said in urging the
of the Declaration of Ind pen
ience, Sink or swim, live or die, sur
vive or perish, will give my hand and
my heart on this vote. IN. Y. World

A Good Woman Passes on

Mrs. j. p. Swentzel, formerly
of this place but late years res
ident of Arnoldsburg, passed to
her reward early Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Swentzel had been i'll
for several years with cancer and
several months ago an operation
was performed that probably
prolonged her life, but medical
skill was of no lasting avail, and
the brave and patient spirit was
waited to that land where suffer
ing is unknown.
Mrs. Swentzel was born Dora
E. Tucker, at Buffalo, Putnam
county, August 23rd. 1914, and
was consequently nearly seventy
years of age at the time of her
death. In the early seventies
she was united in marriage to
Doctor j. P. Swentzel and in a
short time they moved to this
place where DR.. Swentzel prac-
ticed his profession until about
ten years ago, when they moved
from here to Russell and thence
to Arnoldsburg. In December
of 1896 Mrs. Swentzel united
with the Bethlehem Baptist
church of this place and remain
ed true, consistent and devoted
member of the same until death.
She was woman of most excel
lent character and was greatly
loved and respected by a hest of
friends.
The deceased is survived by
her faithful and devoted husband
and one son, Homer, of Hunting
ton, both of whom were at her
bedside during her last moments
on earth.
The remains were brought to
this place and funeral services
were conducted from the Baptist
church by her pastor, Rev. Whit
Stump, after which interment
was made in the Bethlehem Gem
etery.

Terrible Tragedy at Calumet

Calumet, Mich. Dec. "a. -Four
score persons, mostly children,
were killed tonight at a Christ
mas celebration by copper mine
strikers in an Italian hall because
of a needless panic caused by a
false alarm Of fire.
While several hundred miners
and their wives looked on the
children pressed eagerly toward
the stage to receive Christmas
presents. At the instant a man
put his head in at the door of the
hall and yelled "Firen'
! The cry was taken up by those
in the hall. Everyone started
for the doors. The weaker were
thrown to the floor and those be-
hind tried to climb over those a.
head of them.
The stairway and other ave-
nues of egress were blocked go
effectually that those inside could
not get out and those without
could not get in to aid the panic
stricken crowd in the hall. 1t
was some time before the panic
subsidized.
The alarm was spread outside
the hall by few persons who
had been near the door and had
escaped unhurt. A crowd soon
assembled and the work of clear
ing the hall was begun.
The dead that were piled up
beside the hall included 81 girls.
19 boys, IL women and five men.
Excited men and women stood
about the building, some dazed
by the sudden change from holi-
day festivities to tragedy. 9TH

ing child, and few even threat

keeping them back from the Ions

A Letter from Hon. I. R. Stump

To the taxpayers of Calhoun
County:
Ihave heard quite anumber OF
" complimentary remarks made
against Mr.. f.. w. Gamer and
MIR. c. A. Jarvis, ex-sheriffs. and
some against Mr.. A. c.. Mathews,
as prosecuting attorney, relative
to the findings Of the state tax
commissioner in the recent audit
of this county. | want to say to
the taxpayers of this county that
If anybody is to blame for the
Findings it is Zlch Stump more
than any other one man. For
six year | stood there over the
sheriffs of Calhoun county and
watched every act of theirs so
far as the finances of the county
are concerned. consulting as all
times Mr.. a. G.. Math aws. prose-
cutting attorney of the county. l
think when the thing is straight
ened out that nobody is TO blame.
This county cIme out very much
better than anv other county in
the state audit so far. Practical
ly eve ~ything covered by the aud
it Is in the Supreme Court, and
we may have, and looks very
much like we would have to pay
back al the mon, y that Gamer
and Jarvis paid to the county, on
the final decision of the Supreme
Court, and it may be year or
two before the Court decides this
question.
want to say for Mr.. E. w.
Gamer, eX-sheriff Of Calhoun
county, that he WIS sheriff for
two years after | came in as mem.
Der of the County Court, and l
found him to be a kind-hearted,
jovial, upright man in every re-
spect and the soul of honor, at
no time asking for more than
was justly due him. For Mr..
Jarvis | want to say the same
thing identically. And for Mr..
A. G. Mathews, representing
attorney of the county, he is a
gentleman at all time, under all
circumstances and among all
men. No more upright man was
ever in any mans county, and we
never had q better prosecuting
attorney, if we ever had as good.
Respectfully,

Stockholders Meeting

The stockholders of the Bank
of Grantsville held their annual
meeting Saturday and transacted
the usual routine business that
comes before that body. The
old board of directors were all
reelected.
After the stockholders meeting
the directors went into session
and organized by electing the
same officers who have governed
the bank for the past year. The
usual semi-annual dividend Of
five per cent was declared and q
large sum carried as undivided
profits. The bank has made a
rapid and healthy growth since
its organization in 1903, and it is
a first-class banking institution
in every respect.
