German Veterans for Wilson

Sioux City, Ia, May l5.-Rudolph
Beerend, member of the city council
and president of the national organi-
cation of former members of the Ger
man army, known as the Deutscher
Kriegerbund Won Nord Amerika, said
today that in case of war between the
United States and Germany, German
Americans would be found standing
solidly behind the President and fight
ing against the fatherland.
"There can be no question as to the
attitude OF the German-Americans"
Beerend said. "The Germans would
organize in their own ranks regiments
to defend this country should the need
arise and would be fighting for this
country Just as was the case when
Germans organized their own troops
in the Civil War.
"The Germans of this country give
President Wilson credit for meeting
trying situation fairly, for doing his
utmost to preserve neutrality and,
right or wrong, in case of war would
be with him to man,"

To Kill Chinch Bugs

While the chinch bugs seem to be
the question of the day, it might be
we'll to relate the experience of W..
E. Taylor, who lives near Windsor.
Two years ago Mr.. Taylor, being
bothered by the bugs; tried this ex-
pertinent. He split a potato in half,
followed the halves out and placed
some chinch bugs there then tied the
halves together and let them remain
there five days. Mr.. Taylor had a
patch of wheat on his farm and on
the east and west side of this were
patches of oats, he placed the dis
eased bugs from the potato in the
east field and in four days all the
chinch bugs in the field were dead,
while the west side oats were COM
pletely destroyed by the bugs. Sounds
rather fishy but Mr.. Taylor vouches
for it and that is enough for u.s.

Cuba Doesn't Want Dernburg

Havana, May 15.-The suggestion
that Doctor Dernburg, whose pro-
German activities made him persona
non grata in the United States, may
visit this country is not received with
cordially. The anti-German feeling
here, following the Lusitania attack,
is as strong as it is in the United
States, if not stronger. The press is
a unit in denouncing the attack. To-
night there was anti-German rioting
in the city, and the manager of the
German Exchange Bank of this city
was beaten by the crowd before it
was dispersed by the police.

What Note to Germany Really
Means N

Stripped Of its diplomatic language,
the American note to the Kaiser
means:
The United States is determined to
stand no more interference with the
rights of its commerce or its citizens
from Germany on the sea.
The United States demands that
Germany disavow the acts of its naval
officers in sinking merchantmen with
out making provision for the safety
of those on board in accordance with
the international law of civilized ma
tons.
The United States will be satisfied
only il rights of American citizens to
travel wherever their business calls
them on the high seas be respected.
It being obvious that a submarine can
not make arrangements for the safety
of a ships passengers before torpedo
ing it, it is up to Germany to cease
the use of submarines except against
warships.
The United States intends to see
that its citizens are protected against
any violation of the acknowledged
code Of nations in dealing with mer-
chant ships.
The United States will, if Germany
persists In its course. take upon itself
the duty Of enforcing such a rule and
will take the necessary steps to make
the sea safe.

HAYWOOD VICTIM IS
 FORMER LOCAL MAN
Lived on Beaver Street and Was We'll Known There-Malinowsli
 on Case.

There is considerable local interest in the recent Elmwood tragedy, the killing of Wojcek Mizwinski, aged forty years, by an admitted enemy john Marsuzak, aged thirty years, as nine years ago the victim and his family resided on Beaver street and he worked as fa laborer in one of the local factories, The dead man is well known here among the Slavish people. Maruszak has been bound over to the September term of the superior court on a charge of murder sad Mathew R. Malinowski, the local investigator of crimes and court interpreter, has a!- ready secured a confession from him telling of the killing, the police say.
 This tragedy is an unusual one in asmuch as both men arg distant rela tives, both were boyhood friends in Austria, where they were brought up together and until three years ago both were staunch friends and at one time lived together in Newark. N. J.s
 It is said that three years ago they became estranged through some family troubles and sirnce that time have been deadly enc mics. u Is said that both men were very abusive Tn their talk about the other and neither ever overlooked an opportunity to in suit the other. The climax came at 4 o'clock "Wednesday afternoon Tn the factory of the Whitlock Coil Pipe com, pany in Elnlwood. Mizwinskf went to ;l part of the factory where Maruszak was working to get some material. As usual, they had heated argument when, it is alleged, Maruszak grabbed up a heavy club and dealt his former friend vicious blow on the head as a result of which he died yesterday at the Hartford hospital

 Concerns In Transaction.

New York, July 9.--Negotiations virtually have been completed hero for a new French credit amounting to s20, ,000, 900 to be used exclusively for commercial purposes. J. F. Morgan 6 Company, and group of national banks and trust companies will par ticipate in the transaction, it is stated.

 This is one of several transactions undertaken here to offset the effecy upon French exchange of the great expenditures made by France in this country both for ordinary require ments and for war supplies. The last preceding loan called for an in- itial advance of $30,0O0,000 upon American securities owned in France, but it is reported that difficulty was found in gathering together that amount of American securities to be pledged for the loan.

LARGE STOREHOUSE
 BURNED TO GROUND
Fire, Early This Afternoon, Destroys Building Of John MoIumphy Sit
 uated in Berlin.

Fire early this afternoon destroyed a large storage house of the Connec- ticut Valley Peach Orchard owned by John T. Moiumphy in Berlin. The loss will amount to several hundred do- lars.
 The source of the fire is unknown When it was discovered the buildins was wreathed in flames which shot high into the air, while large clouds of smoke rolled from the burning structure. MT. Molumphy at the time of the fire was not at home and neighbors endeavored to extinguish the flames.
 The fire fighters were handicapped by the lack or water. After formin5 8 bucket brigade water was brought from nearby brook. The brigade toiled for a quarter of an hour but the building. was seen to be doomed and the spectators could only stand and watch the structure go up in flames.
 The heat of the burning structure, which is situated on the west side of the railroad tracks, was so great that it was necessary for trains passing the spot to switch off to the east track. hs

GERMAN SOUTHWEST
 AFRICA CONQUERED !
Kaiser's Entire Military Force Surrenders to Gen
 eral Botha.

Pretoria, South Africa. Via London. July g, Ii a.. m. General Botha, com mander of the force of the Union os South Africa, has accepted the sur render Of all German military forces in German Southwest Africa
 The Germans gsurrendered uncon- ditionally following the x issuance of General Botha's ultimatum, which ex- rired at o'clock Thursday evening.
 With the exception of the necessary army occupation, the citizen army Will be brougl1 home as quickly as pcssible.s sss
 After suppressing the ' rebellion against British authority in the Union of South Africa, Gen, Botha took command of British operations against German Southwest Africa and headed an invasion of that territory late in February. His operations were re- ported to be uniformly successful The forces under his command cap- ltured OIymbingue on May 4. Two days later it was announced that he had occupied the important railway station at Karibib and other stations after a march of thirty-f1ve miles over a water1ess waste.
 The road to Windhoek, capital of the German territory, was opened by the occupation of Keetmanshop Windhoek was taken May 13 without opposition on the part of the Ger men forces. Martial law was pro- claimed throughout the conquere,: territory.
 Reports from London recently have stated that the surrender of all the German forces was expected soon. British military experts have con- tended that Gen. Botha had conduct ed a masterly campaign.
 German Southwest Africa extends from the Orange to the Cnnene river, about 900 miles. It lies between Portuguese West Africa and Cape Colony, extending. eastward to the British sphere. The area isa 322.- 450 square miles, chiefly IIottentots and bushmen. The European popu-' lation in 1913 was 14.s16, of whom 12,292 were Germans The military force, including police, is given in the latest reports at 1892.

ENGLAND IGNORED
 GERMANY'S REQUEST That Cable Between United States and Teutonic Elm
 pire Be Re-opened.

Washington, July s.Germany's $ pro oposals of last February for the re- opening of her cable communications with the United States failed because they were condittaned on the consent of Great Britain and the London for eisn office never replied to the nego. iatfons otfifiunicated by the United States. s
 State departm ent officials made this explanation today in the light of q published statement by Herr Von Ja- gow, the German foreign minister, who laid stress on the lack of cable communications as means of an exchange of views between the Amer icar people and the German public during the submarine warfare contro- versy Off1cials stated that Germany in note transmitted by Ambassador Gerard proposed that the cable be- tween the United States and Germany, which had been cut by the allies early, in the war, be reopened and repaired, provided Great Britain consented.
 The following conditions were sug- gested:
 # That, the cable be open for all communications to the American em- bassies and consular officials in Ger. many and Austro- Hungary. I
 2-For private and business mes ages such as the United States em- bassy at Berlin deemed proper.
 3-For all news despatches uncen- sored.
 4-Germany agreed to pay all ex- penses in repairing and putting the cable in operation and President Will son, if the proposition was accepted by Great Britain, was asked to ap- point censors for the American end of the cable, which was to be used similarly for transmission of messages by German and Austrian diplomatic officers and for private and business messages approved by the American censors, as we'll as news despatches.
 The state department submitted the German note to Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British am bassador here on March 3, but got no reply:
 There is no international convention governing the use of cables in time of war, the right of a belligerent to cut a cable to prevent the transmits sion of military information being generally recognized.
