SAYS GREAT BRITAIN MUST PAY
United States to Demand compensa-

Washington, Dec. 30.-Presidenf
Wilson, referring to the American note
to Great Britain insisting ON better
treatment for American commerce. de
clared that large damages eventually
would have to be paid by England for
unlawful detention of American car
goes.
When the senate convened Senator
Walsh introduced a resolution calling
on the president, if not incompatible
with the public interest, to submit to
the senate copies of all correspond
ence with representatives of foreign
nations with relation to the seizure
by European belligerents of shipments
of American copper consigned to neu-
trail countries. Senator Walsh gave
notice that be would speak on it
Thursday.
A telegram from the Brunswick,
Ga, board of trade protesting against
placing of naval stores upon the abb
solute contraband list by Great Brit

Smith. The message requested that
the United States take a firm stand"
against England's action.

London, Dec. 30.-The American
note protesting against the British
treatment of American commerce and
insisting upon an early improvement,
came as a complete surprise to the
British public, as there had been vir-
tually no intimation that any friction
had arisen between the two govern
ments.
The placards posted by the evening
papers were given over exclusively to
the American note and the papers
gave it the largest headlines they have
given any news in the last month.
Consequently the British people re-
gard this as one of the most important
occurrences of the whole war. Moth
ing of its kind since President Cleve-
lands Venezuelan message has pro-
duced such a sensation.

was induced TO purchase no less
than a dozen OF "Bakst's" water

which, no doubt, will be hailed
with delight by all who have ad-

designed the scenic backgrounds

essential part of the beauty and
force of illusion for which this bal

Diaghileff, the man who founded
the ballet which bears HIS name,

he had new ideas. The Russian
reactionary influences made II hard
for him to show his genius. But
this was not so in the other centres

SHILOH HERO TO BE HonoREp.
Johnny" Glenn, Drummer Boy, to BE
Retired as Major General.

! Washington, March S.-During the
closing hours of the sixty third con-
sress the senate passed a bill to retire
| Col. John L. Glenn, the original drum
mer boy of Shiloh, at the advanced
grade of major general. He went thru
the civil war with the Twenty second
Michigan regiment. After having
served in the United States army for
| more than half a century, it seems
| likely that Col. Glenn, for some time
at the head of the quartermaster's
branch at Chicago, will be placed on
the retired list soon after the new con-
gress convenes. A jam of work in the
house prevented action there on the
senate measure.
Before Little Johnny" Glenn. as he
is known to this day, was 10 years old
he was in the union ranks. At the age
Of IL he had three bullet holes thru
his cap, his pony was shot from under
him, and he was wounded several
times. g.
The story Of Colonel Clem's military
career reads like fiction. He first at
tempted to obtain place as drum
mer to Captain McDougall OF the Third
Ohio regiment. His infantile services
were rejected. but when the regiment
boarded cars at his home town Of New
ark, O., he climbed aboard and went
with the soldiers to Cincinnati. There
he offered himself to the Twenty-sec-
ond Michigan, but was again rejected
on account of his size and years.
The motherless boy insisted on ac-
companying the soldiers to the front,
and he went with the regiment with
out acceptance until he was beating
the "long roll" at Shiloh in April, 1882.
His soldiery spirit SO won the conf
dence and admiration Of the officers
that May l, 1862, he was enlisted at
Coyington. KY, as a drummer. Later
he served as a marker. A piece OF a
shell smashed the boys drum. This
experience won for him the title OF
Johnny Shiloh"
At Chickamauga his GOODNESS and
vaior won for him the highest praise
from Generals Rosecrans and Thomas
and promotion to a sergeancy.
1t was a Chickamauga that Little
Johnny" Glenn exchanged the long
rolf of the drum for the brisk fire"
of the musket. On Sept. 20.1S63. when
the line Of battle was being formed
the drummer boy took musket that
had been shortened for his use and
mounted a caisson beside an artillery
man. He went to the line and faced
the storm of death with those many
years older and stronger.

Dubuque, March s.-Mrs. Dorcas
Brazzell, sentenced TO the reformatory
at Anamosa for twenty years for muir
der in the second degree for killing her
husband Charles Brazzell, street
car conductor. in January, 1914, was
today dismissed from custody on mo-
ton Of the county attorney. A new
trial was granted by the supreme
court. that body holding in effect she
should be dismissed unless new evil
dence was developed. Mrs Brayzell
is today free woman.
Mrs. Brazzell was arrested early last
year. when an indictment was returned
against her by the Dubuque grand
jury, charging her with killing
Charles Brazzell, a motorman, whose
body was found horribly mutilated In
their home on Rhomberg avenue. She
was tried, convicted of murder in the
second degree and sent to the state re-
formatory at AnamOsa under a twen-
ty-year sentence. The supreme court
reversed the case.
The supreme court wound up its
lengthy decision in the Brazzell case
with a recommendation that the case
against Mrs. Brazzell be dismissed
unless the state has new and addi-
tional evidence that would make a
conviction reasonably certain. The
decision said that the evidence sub
mitted in the first trial was not suf-
ficient to warrant a conviction. The
decision went further and stated that
the facts brought out concerning Mrs.
BrazZell in the first trial were not at
ell inconsistent with the assumption
of the defendants innocence. For
this reason, lawyers here who have
discussed the case say that the only
course open to the state is to dis
miss the case.
