Obituary..

The funeral of Frank Soukup,
one of the very early pioneers of
this place, who died at the home
of his son Joseph, near Wagner,
last THURSDAY of tuberculosis of
the bowels, was held last Saturday
merning from the Catholic church
of this place and the remains in-
TERED in the cemetery in town.
Owing to the severity of the wea-
Their the attendance was not very
large. The services were conduc-
ted by Rev. E. A. Bouska who de
livered a very impressive sermon.
The deceased was 80 years of age
and came to this state from his ma
tive land Bohemia, with his wife
in the spring of 1869 locating on
a homestead 2H miles northwest
of Tabor. His first wife died in
January, 1888 and in December
the same year he married Mrs.
Klogar, who died last fall. The
deceased was a kindhearted man
and was respected by all. He had
been sufferer from the disease to
which he finally succumbed for
the past 7 years. He leaves four
sons and two daughters of the first
marriage, who are: John of Cleve-
land, Ohio, Joseph, Albert and
Bart who lives near Wagner and
Mrs. Joseph Kostal who live north
of Tabor.

Why Abolish 1t?
SON.

1t seems that the only argument
against capital punishment is that
the law is not enforced in many
cases where it should, be. The
trouble is that we have too many
would-be- reformers who seem to
lose sight of the victims of crimi-
mails in their foolish endeavor to re
form anything and everything
that comes in sight. What we
want is more stringent laws deal
ing with the criminal type. Ac-
cording to our belief a holdup
with a deadly weapon should be
punishable by death, because any
one who will 60 so far as to hold
UP q person is a criminal and the
only way to reform a criminal is
to hang him. There is however
one instance where we do not be-
lieye in hanging and that is where
there is only circumstantial evi
dence against the accused. But
then let the reformers and senti-
/ uentalists have their way in this
state and other states, and let us
watch the results. Capital punish
ment has been in operation since
the dawn of history and since muir
ders are committed in spite of it
does not mean that it should be
abolished. Along the same lines
of logic we might abolise all penal
ties on lesser crimes because there
are thieves, burglars and their
like to the present day.

A Promising Trio.

Three hayward boys whose
homes arein Sioux City, hailed in
to town last Sunday in a stolen
buggy and horse and driving
north of town succeeded in steal
ing another horse on the farm of
Jos. Sykora by taking the animal
off the field where it was grazing.
They then returned and drove
thru town without fear of being
caught and at Lakeport sold the
horse to a certain farmer for $50.
However about this time the au-
thorities had been on their track
and the boys were caught on the
farm of Frank Cap east of Utica
by Mr.. Hickey of Yankton who
took them to Sioux City. The
oldest boy and leader was Donald
Riley, Is years of age, his brother
Mike, 10 years old and Joe Melli-
gan 10 years old. The boys stole
the rig in Sioux City and made
their trip up this way. The old

CONCERN
Washington Apprehen-
sive of Result of Re-
ported Amending of
German Prize Rules
SOME RESEMBLE
ORDER-IN-COUNCIL

Washington, April 22-Press dis
patches from Berlin announcing i'm
portant amendments to the German
prize rules were noted at the state
department today with some concern.
While officials will await the text Of
these amendments before making any
statements for publication. apprehen-
sion is expressed privately that If the
new rules are correctly outlined in the
dispatches they mark a notable adj
vance by Germany towards the abso-
lutte exclusion of neutral commerce
from the high seas. This comes, it
is pointed out, just at the moment
when all the neutral powers have
been bringing pressure to bear upon
the allied powers to abate the Sc
verify Of the blockade rules and prize
laws as embodied in the recent Bri-
fish ordersin- council.

Goods ''TO Order"

Difficulty in maintaining the right
OF neutral nations to ship conditional
contraband to other neutral powers, is
foreseen by officials as a result of
adoption as a German prize rule of
the same provision as that in the
British order-in- council, regarding
goods consigned ito order" over
which there has been so much dis
cussion.
The United States government has
consistently held that this usual COM
mercial process is perfectly legitimate,
and that before goods consigned ITO
order" can be seized, the belligerent
government attempting to make the
seizure must assume the burden Of
proof that the goods are unneutral
or are intended for the enemy's gov
eminent.
Drastic Ruling
Officials are even more concerned over
the reported new German rule that
ship with conditional contraband bound
from neutral port shall be liable to
capture and that the conditional contra
band may be confscateL without regard
to the consigree when The snip IS d. tined
nations at war with Germany obtain
conditional contraband articles.
Since submarines alone of the German
naval craft are able now to navigate the
open seas it is supposed that enforce
ment of this rule would be accompanied
by assertion of right to destroy ships and
cargo on the plea of inability to take
them into port.
A reflection of the views of the Ameri-
can government on this subject probably
will appear in the note to be addressed
TO Germany in regard to the case of the
American ship William P. Frye, which
was sunk in the South Atlantic by the
German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
The state department has for somt
time had under consideration the last
German proposition to send this case b.
tore prize court and to pay for the ship
s.nc cargo if the facts. developed were
(. Sc stated in the United States note Of
complaint. Because a condition Of the
acceptance in full effect of the old treaty
of Il ade and commerce between the Unit
cd States and Prussia of 1898, the answer
had been delayed in order to make sure
that such an admission in regard to the
treaty could not seriously injure the
olsims of the United States to repara-
tior on other accounts. Extension of the
German prize rules probably will result
in Fastening the dispatch Of the reply.

shelters persisted from suffocation,
from the collapse OF entire earth
works.
Towards three O'Clock on April 5,
the enemy attempted to counter-at-
tack, supported by heavy artillery
fire, which was neutralized by our
batteries. Our attack was renewed
the following day, and developed into
a furious hand to hand struggle with
grenades and cold steel in the narrow
lines of trenches. The enemy opposed
with such resistance that the order
vas given to evacuate part Of the
front that had been gained. This was
then bon. barded until the enemy were
obliged to retire. We then held the
three line trenches Of the ALLY woods.
On the evening Of the sixth we found
the dead piles in three rows.
During the seventh and eighth we re-
pulsed eight counter-attacks. OF the
ALLY woods there remained nothing but
= few hacked trunks, ana not an inch of
ground in it that had not been turned up
by explosives. In the strange chaos,
stones. corpses and a debris of limbs lay
mingled.
'.At $50 o'clock on April sth an extern
tive bombardment by the enemy was be-
gun. In 80 minutes upon this corner Of
the woods, over a front Of from $50 to
400 yards deep. 3e.eeo shells were fred and
they included all calibres from to s
inch. The entire hill disappeared in
cloud of smoke; all communications were
cut during this time, and when the fire
ceased many men were mentally derang-
ed They had to be removed and re-
quired several days for recovery.
Again on April 10 and April II our
attacks were renewed, resulting in the
gain of the balance Of the position in
ALLY woods.
Eight German companies besides the
garrison in the fort were annihilated in
the engagement"

OF
POLES LIVING
ON GARBAGE
ARMY LEFT

London, April II, $50 P. M.-Seven
million Poles Of whom two million are
Jews, are in dire need of food. This
statement was made today by Her
mann LANDAU, a prominent Jewish
philanthropist
"Of these sufferers, $500, 900 are east
of the Vistula river and 10000 west
of the river Mr.. LANDAU said.
The Jews are even poorer than the
Gentiles, because of the boycott
against the Jews in parts of Poland
before the beginning of the war, which
impoverished thousands who otherwise
would have been able to provide for
their families
Political and religious prejudice
against the Jews also renders their
condition worse than that of the Cath
olics. In parts of Poland evacuated by
the Germans many Jews are living on
potato peels and garbage, left by the
army.
Where rations are provided for
Poles the daily allowance to each per-
son is equivalent to only four cents,
which is barely enough to keep the
people alive in d country where prices
are high. 1t is difficult to obtain food
at any price.

TO LIMIT NOT
PROHIBIT. THE
BR|TISHD!R|N

London. April %. s P. M.-That the
British government does not intend to
have recourse TO prohibitkon in deal
ing with the drink question was in
ferred from Premier Asquith's state
ment in the House of Commons this
evening when he said that on Wednes-
day or Thursday next the chancellor
of the exchequer, David Lloyd George
would bring forward proposals Tor
dealing with the limiting Of facilities
or drinking"
The prime minister's remark was
generally interpreted as meaning that
the hours during which drink woulc
be obtainable in the public houses
would be considerably curtaile1
throughout the country. and not
merely in the are&s where munitions
of war are manufactured.
