WILL BE ALONG WAR.

All hope of peace is dying. There
is no prospect in sight of an ending to
the terrible war in Europe The con
fiict seems likely to drag on for years
tn come, says the Los Angeles Times
This is a bleak prospect, but prac'
tical one. Although it means less to
America than to Europe. still 1t means
a great deal to America To bolster
up our hopes by telling ourselves thai
the dove of peace is about to alfght is
folly The dove Of peace Is a very
scary little fowl and it shows no signs
whatever of alighting anywhere.
Lord Kitchener said that he could
not tell when the war would end, but
added that he knew 1t would begin
next May The war lord stated IN
one of his speeches at the start Of the
conflict that the fighting WOULD last at
least three years. The latest opinions
of those best informed is that the war
ia sure to continue longer than three
years.
Six months have now elapsed since
the outbreak of hostilities and neither
of the two hostile forces can be SAID
to have gained any real advance over
the other. The coming of the spring
will in the opinion of most military
experts. see the real opening OF the
war
with the war strength of the Eng
lish nation not yet fully moolilzed'
with several millions Of German re-
serves not yet called to the colors, 1t
is evident that the struggle is OF the
future J.
The most discouraging aspect OF
the fighting is the evident purpose or
the different nations to tire one an
other out The Germans have the
! war theory that On account of the de-
creasing birth rate OF the French, the
unwillingness of the English to enlis.
and the revolutionary difficulties OF
the Russians. they (the Germans) Will
be able to wear out all the others.
The English. on the other hand,

theory that they will starve The Ger

OLD CLOTHES.

I One of the most practical and cas-
Hest methods of charity is the judo
ious distribution OF old clothes. Rec
ognizing the great value of this asset
to the poor, Bundle day plan has
just been organized in New York City,
/ to collect and distribute systematic
ally old and new clothing. A great
many people everywhere give away
old clothes, hut often not with judg-
ment.
| In many employments 1t is neces-
sary for mans success that he be
well dressed. 1t may be Illogical, but
shabby clothes hurt his business. Con-
sequently he has half used suits and
overcoats for distribution at regular
intervals. Being we'll made, they have
great deal of substantial wear. Also
his wife feels that her position re-
quires her to discard garments before
they are worn out.
The amount of clothing thus passed
on is big total. II used kindly and

who makes thrifty profit the
amount that can be realized from Sec
ona hand dealers is never large. IL
would seem that people might mucn
better make this little offering to
worthy charity by a direct gift.
1t is poor policy to hand out these
garments to the first blowsy tramp
who come along. On the back streets
of your own town there are always
people who have met misfortune, but
who have fought good fight with
adverse circumstance. They are en-
titled to the preference. Every fam
lily having clothes to give away should
iseek out a few of these households,
and make them regular recipients OF

tice of the activities of the Civic
league of this city and expresses itself
euitorially as follows: Keokuk' s
streets have names, and these names
are to be displayed. so that the home
folk and the visitor may discover and
in time learn them. Keokuk will owe
this improvement to the Civic league,
a wide-awake women's organization.
Keokuk has needed this improvement
for many years. No doubt, many Wis.
itors mentioned it. No doubt the
newspapers of Keokuk have agitated
the question whenever there was
nothing else to do. And no doubt all
such urging has been ignored by the
authorities, whose duty it ought tn
be to mark the streets, and the com
mercial body, whose duty it ought to
be to prod up the council. And but

/ PRINCETON, ILL.,, Feb. 1O.-Testi-

previous trials by Chief Of Police
George Koch and former Sheriff JOS

Uses. say attorneys for the state.
Koch and Lips we're the first wit,
nesses called and examined by Attor-
ney George Covert for the defense.
Koch saia that on Sunday afternoon
of the fire he examined some clothing
in the boxes at the tents of Ray Plan
schmidt and in the boxes were four
new pieces of khaki wearing apparel.
The defense was unable to show by
Chief Koch that the wearing apparel
consisted of two new khaki coats and
two new khaki pants
Sheriff Lips testified on direct ex-
animation for the defense that there
were two new suits in the boxes when
he examined, them on Sunday after
noon in the tents at the grading camp.
On cross examinations by Attorney
O'Harra the witness said that he could
not tell for a fact whether or not the
clothes consisted of two new khaki

Testified differently.

The testimony of the defense at
previous trials proved that both Lipps
and Koch said the articles were two
new coats and two new pairs of trous-
ers. The defense in showing that the
clothes were planted" in the vault
pointed to the fact that the defendant
had four new suits of khaki clothes
purchased at the Hub company from
Charles Ellerbrecht.
The defense introduced witnesses
who testified that the defendant wept
on the return trip from the cemetery
where his family was buried. They
also testified that he was pale all
day the Sunday OF the fire and that
his voice .'choked up whenever he
attempted to talk.
Other witnesses for the defense tes-
tilted that they smalled burning flesh
while passing the Pfansehmidt home
the Saturday before the fire.
Harvey Scott and Runah Miller,
both of Quincy, testified that they
played pool with the prisoner the Sat
urday night before the fire. Both
agreed that there. was apparently no
difference in mis- behavior that evening
than on other occasions.
