swearing allegiance to the Union or
going to q Northern prison. After

young fellow decided to swear allegi-
ance to the Union. He took the oath
and was then dismissed. He started
away, but stopped a. he reached the
door.
"Say," he said.
"Well," said Grant, az he turned In
differently from the desk, having dis
missed the matter from his mind.
"T was just thinking" the young
rebel replied, they sure did give US
hell at Chickamauga."

JOHN BULL MAY
LIFT CONTRABAND
ON KING COTTON
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Great Britain
may reconsider the recent ruling per-
hitting the entrance of cotton into
Germany, if the statement of Under
Secretary of War Tenant, is to be
construed literally. Secretary Tenant
today told members of the house Of
commons that Great Britain does not
consider itself in any way bound TO
continue cotton on its list of non-con-
traband of war, and that the German
policy of blockading British ports will
make a revision of the former decision
not only advisable but imperative.
"The action permitting cotton inn
portations into Germany" declared
Secretary Tenant, was taken at
time when the English government
was satisfied Germany would pursue
the war along legitimate lines, but the
recent Inauguration of a policy of
national piracy, reverses the British
view of the situation altogether, AMI
the absolute shutting off of all com
munication between Germany and the
rest of the world now appears impera-
tive, if Great Britain is to maintain
supremacy of the seas, and Germany
forced to respect the rights of neutral
nations.'

RUSS STATEMENT SAYS
CZAR'S MAIN ARMY ESCAPED
surrendered,

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The loss of al
most an entire army corps during the
recent retreat from East Prussia is
admitted by the Russian general staff
according to today's advices from Pet
ragrOd. Only disorganized portions of
the corps referred to escaped, accord
ing to these advices, although the
main Russian army retired as planned.
The Overwhelming number of Ger
man troops thrown into the fighting in
the Muzarian Lakes region, says Pet
ragrad officials, accounts for the Teu-
ton success there, though superior
transportations facilities contributed
largely to the ability of Won Hinden-
burg to concentrate troops at strategic
points and force the fighting to a con-
clusion before Russian reinforcements
could be brought up.
Little military Importance is at
tached to the loss of the army corps
by Petrograd officials, who assert that
after escaping from the German trap,
the main Russian army again resum-
ed the offensive, and that events in
East Prussia during the next few days
may forecast the opening of new
campaign for possession of that re-
gion.

POPE Will
PEACE TO.
GER MAN Y
<By Associated Press.)

ROME, Feb. 22.-It is reliably report
ed in unofficial circles today that Pope
Benedict has sent an urgent communi-
cation to the German emperor, asking
him to name conditions on which Ger
many will consider peace proposals.
The communication, it is stated, is
couehed in terms of most friendly na-
ture, and sets forth the anxiety of His
Holiness to bringt about an end of the
present war, as actuated only by mo-
tiyes of friendship toward all the ma
tions and of compassion for the thous-
ands of soldiers daily sacrificed upon
the altar of Mars, as we'll as a sincere
desire to see re-established on earth
Il osc. conditions prevailing before the
cUtbreaL OF hostilities.
1t is stated that recent reports re-
ClfIG at the vatican department u
state, show that although German con-
nucs to maintaing an excellent r1lii-
tary ! osition, that nation is feeling Sc
riously the consequences of the dis
astrous war now being waged, and that
material modification of Germany's
peace views, has accompanied the real
ization of these circumstances. The
pope's communication has been for
warded by special messenger to Berlin
and will be submitted, it is said, d.
rectly to Emperor Wilhelm. At the Vat
lean officials declined to discuss the
alleged note altogether.

Girl Awarded
The Iron Cross
(By Associated Press.)

BOCHUM, Germany, February a.
Both the iron cross and the medal for
life-saving decorate the breast of Frau
lein Aust, a girl still in her teens, and
a native of Bochum. When thee war
broke out, Miss Aust, like manS ther
girls, experienced the desire to i6 the
Red Cross. She knew her parents
would object, so she obtained permis-
sion of them to visit relatives at Muen-
ster, but instead of proceeding there,
she went to a Red Cross training home
and was soon drafted to the eastern
front as a nurse. There her bravery
on the battlefields of Poland, where she
tended the wounded under fire, at
tracted attention from her superiors,
who reported instances of her courage
to Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. The
commander-in-chief thereupon decid-
ed to award her the Iron Cross, which
he himself pinned on her blouse. A
short time afterward Miss Aust, while
on the Silesian frontier, jumped into
the swollen river Oder and saved two
children from drowning. For this he
roic deed she was given the Life-Sav-
ing medal She returned home at the
end of January for a short rest and
gave a complete surprise to her par
ents, who had all the time believed she
was with her relatives in Muenster.

SOME MYSTERY
CONNECTED WITH
R|FLEMEN HERE
STRANGE APPEARANCE OF ARMED
MEN SUNDAY NIGHT.

The appearance on Lee street,
south, at nine o'clock last night Of
three unknown white men, armed with
winchester rifles, created considerable
comment among the very few who saw
them, and none here knew whence
they came; the object of their visit
here Sunday night, or where they
went. A we'll known citizen saw the
three men drive in a buggy to a cer-
tain corner out Lee street and get out
of the vehicle. The horse was tied 10
a telephone post and blanket spread
over the animal. No word was spoken
by the mysterious trio VINO, upon TAX
ing their rifles from the vehicle, pro-
ceeded in a southerfy direction. The
gentleman who witnessed the affair
told of the incident this morning, but
was at a loss to understand the object
or mission of the three iiflemen, nor
do the police know the meaning Of
their visit. AS no overt act was COM
mitted, so far as known, the affair re-
mains a mystery.

UNCLESAM
WORRIED
SIN kI n G
OFEVELYN.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
sinking late Saturday of the American
merchant steamer Evelyn, off the Ger
man coast, presumably by a floating
mine, brought the dangers confronting
American shipping vividly before Off
cials of the United States government
today. The entire crew of the Evelyn,
according to advices from Bremen,
were rescued, though the ship and
cargo is total loss. The Evelyn car
ried cargo of cotton, consigned to
Bremen, and sailed from Galveston,
being escorted through the English
channel by British warships.
Recent correspondence between the
United States and Germany relative to
shipping in the waters of the war zone
referred only to submarine attacks, the
Germans being warned against unwar-
ranted attacks upon American mer-
chants ships. 1t had been previously
announced through diplomatic chan
nels that both Great Britain and Ger
many had planted mines in the North
Sea, and as there is no International
convention covering this phase of war
fare, diplomatic exchanges regarding
the sinking of the Evelyn are unlikely,
beyond a possible demand for dam
ages. This demand cannot be made un
til the nationality of the mine struck
by the American ship, has been clear
ly established, and this may never be
hon. officials, however are evi-
dencing great interest in the loss Of
the Evelyn and a thorough investiga-
ton of the incident will undoubtedly
be ordered.
The general concensus of opinion
in official circles here today indicates
the United States intends to stand firm
with reference to warnings given both
England and Germany regarding the
misuse of the United States flag. These
warnings set forth the adde's danger
of submarine attacks on Americans
vessels should English ships generally
adopt the ruse of sailing beneath the
flag of this nation, and only in rare
cases where unusual circumstances
apparently justify such ruse, will the
practice be tolerated by the American
government.
