show, the association was able to of.
fer large cash prizes and a large
number of cups, which attracted a
bigser number of exhibitors than
last year. Exhibitors came from as
far south as Sioux City, Ia, and from
Minnesota. Seventy five exhibitors
showed total of $50 birds, the pick
of their f1ocks, all in the pink of con-
clifton, and groomed TO the minute.
An encouraging feature of the
show was the large number of farm
er breeders who showed pure bred
stock, and it is interesting to note
that these farmer breeders made the
professional fanciers go some. and
carried of big share of the blue rib
bons. Almost every breed known to
the Standard was on exhibit, and the
quality of the stock was far super
ior to that shown in past yeads. The
attendance was the best that the show
has ever had. All cash prizes were
paid promptly before the exhibitors
left the show room. 1t is planned to
hold another exhibit in December.

RESIST ADVANCE OF GER
MANS, PASSES AWAY,

Berlin, Germany-The death at
Hanover of General Won Emich, the
conqueror of Liege, Belgium, is an
nounced today by the Overseas News
Agency. He was commander of the
Tenth army corps, and figured prom
inently in the early events of the
war, being commander of the troops
which entered Belgium.
1t was he who issued the appeal
TO the Belgians not to resist the Ger
mans. The los of life suffered by his
forces at Liege is said to have shat
tered the confidence of the general.
He fought as a lieutenant in the
Franco-Prussian war and was made
colonel in 1897. In 1901 he at
tanned the rank of major-general
and became commander Of the Tenth
corps in 1905.

year, according to the police. He
said that he would hely the police re-
cover the articles and as far as Dos

BERLIN GIVEN
MORE WAR CREDIT
REICHSTAG VOTES TEN MILLION
MORE CONCILIATORY.

Berlin, Germany.--The Reichstag
yesterday passed the second and
third readings of the war credit of
ten billion marks, which the gov
ernment had requested. Only 10 Soc
ialists voted in the negative.
Before the vote was taken Fried
rich August Karl Geyer read a brief
statement on behalf of the Socialist
minority, explaining their negative
vote, while Friedrich Ebert, the So
cialist leader, spoke in behalf of the
Socialist majority and announced
loud applause that his wing of the
party would vote "yes."
Answering question of Major
Bassermann, national liberal, DR..
solf, the colonial secretary, denied
that Germany ever intended to attack
Cape Colony from Southwest Africa,
as had been asserted by the cape
government. DR.. Solf said this was
proved by the fact that Germany had
reduced her military forces in the
southwest from 10000 in 1903 to
1000.
DR.. Solf added that when he saw
General Botha, president of the union
OF South Africa, in London in 1912,
General Botha himself was strongly
against the further reduction of the
forces owing TO the danger from the
natives. The colonial minister said
the fighting in South Africa was be-
gun by the British and not by the
Germans. 1t, he said, was proven in
the Cape parliament the British gov
ernment had falsified the map in
order to make it appear the first
fight was on British territory, where
as it was on German soil.

MENTAL CONDITION.

Wheeler, S. D.-John Hanzel, an
aged man who is charged with having
murdered his aged wife, has been
placed in charge of Sheriff Lynch
here, pending his trial at the next
term of state circuit court. The de-
fendant is "a years of age, while
his wife was 10.
He is charged with choking her to
death in their home at Dante. 1t yet
is believed an effort will be made by
the defendants attorneys, when his
trial takes place, to prove that he was
insane at the time of the alleged
staying of his wife, and that if he
committed the deed he was not re-
sponsible for his actions.

FRENCH BECOME

Paris, France. French ex-

Paris, France.-The French eN-
preston "Taisez+gous," which is near
ly equivalent to Shut your mouth"
though less impolite and familiar,
has now become classic through the
posters disc.sDuted throughout
France by Monsieur Millerand, for
mer minister of war. just before he
retired from that post, TO caution
people against revealing military in
formation.
The poster reads:
"Taisezvous; Meifiez-vous; Les
GRIZZLIES ennemis vous ecoutent."
In English it MEANS
Shut up, or keep silent" Be mis-
trustful; Enemy's ears are listening
to you"
Hundreds of thousands of these
posters have been hung in public
places and the warning they carry
has given rise to any number of cur
ious incidents. They have served to
increase the suspicion of espionage
that is everywhere rife and both civ
ilians and soldiers are led into un-
necessary alarm by the presence of
places.
If man talks freely he is often
suspected OF seeking to draw infor-
nation from other people and if he
is dumb he is thought to be listen
ing spy. Such was the case of a loyal
Frenchman who happens to be blond
and corpulent. There were four wo-
men in the compartment of rail-
road carriage with him. He lay back
in the corner with eyes closed,
though not asleep.
He's too blond to be a French
man." one woman Whispered "Too
stout" suggested another "a coun-
tsrfeit Swiss or Dutchman, third
believed. "And why is he so silent, -
added another. He pretends TO be
sleeping, but he is only listening.'
Denounced TO the military commits
sary at the next station, the blond
gentleman showed his safe-conduct
as a member of the French chamber
of deputies.

jeopardy by this lawless act.
No Debate on Principles.

The rules of international law
and the principles of humanity
which were thus wilfully violated
by the commander of the subma-
rine have been so long and SO
universally recognized and are SO
manifest from the standpoint of
right and justice that the govern
ment of the United States does
not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand
that the imperial and royal gov
ernment questions or disputes
them.
The government of the United
States, therefore, finds no other
course open to it but to hold the
imperial and royal government re-
sponsible for the act Of it's naval
commander and to renew the
definite but respectful demands
made in its communication of the
9th of December, 1915. 1t sim
cerely hopes that the foregoing
statement Of its position will en-
able the imperial and royal gov
eminent to perceive the justice of
these demands and comply with
them in the same spirit of frank
ness and with the same concern
for the good relations now exist
ing between the United States and
Austria-Flungary which prompted

States to make them"

DEBATE USELESS
Over Details Of Sinking, Says
Message, AS First Note Ad-
mitted Facts Under Cloud

Washington, D. C.-The reply
of the United States to Austria
Flungarys note on the destruc-
ton of the Italian liner Ancona
declares that the official admis-
sion of the Austrian admiralty
that the liner was torpedoed af-
ter she had stopped and while
passengers still were aboard,
alone is sufficient for the Ameri-
can demand for disavowal, rep
aration and punishment of the
submarine commander.
Secretary Lansing's second
note, already probably in the
hands of the Austrian foreign
minister and made public here
today, renews the demands of
the United States and says the
details to which Austria referred
in her reply to the first American
communication are in no way es-
sential to the discussion. 1t en-
phasizes that continuance of
good relations between the two
countries depends upon the ac-
ton of the Austrian government.
Admission Shows Disregard.
The government of the Unit
ed States has received the note of
your excellency, relative to the
sinking of the Ancona, which
was delivered at Vienna on De-
cember IS, 1915, and transmitted
to Washington, and has given the
note Immediate and careful con-
sideration.
"On November IS, 1915, Ba-
ron Zwiedinek, the charge
d'afaires of the imperial and
royal government at Washington.
transmitted to the department OF
state a report of the Austro-Hun-
garian admiralty with regard to
the sinking of the steamship An
coma, in which it was admitted
that the vessel was torpedoed at
ter her engines had been stopped
and when passengers were still
on board. This admission alone
is, in the view of the government
of the United States, sufficient to
fix upon the commander of the
submarine which fired the torpedo
the responsibility for having will
fully violated the recognized law
of nations and entirely disregard
ed those humane principles which
every belligerent should observe
in the conduct Of war at sea.
In view of these admitted
circumstances, the government of
the United States feels justified in
holding that the details of the
sinking of the Ancona, the weight
and character of the additional
testimony corroborating the adj
miralty's report, and the number
of Americans killed or injured
are in no wav essential matters Of
discussion. The culpability of the
commander is in any case estab-
lished, and the undisputed fact is
that citizens Of the United States
were killed or wounded or put in

WARsHIPs ON
GUARD AT SUEZ CANAL


Los Angeles, Calif.-That Japan
is giving material aid to the Entente
Allies in the European war, not only
by supplying munitions, but by act-t
ually guarding the suez canal with
her warships, was stated here by A.
M. Papajian Bey, formerly minister
OF the interior in Egypt, who is vis-
iitor in Los Angeles.
The Suez canal has been strongly
fortified since the war began, he said.
Naturally the extent of the fortifi-
cations along the Suez Canal and the
fact that Japanese warships are on
guard there have not been given pub
licity by Great Britain" the former
Egyptian official stated, "but, never.
theless, this is fact.
Canal Vital to England.
Great Britain realizes that the
canal is vital to her and that she
cannot lose it. Since the war began
Great Britain has taken firm hand
in Egypt. Many persons in high posi-
tons, suspected Of being enemies OF.
the empire have been deported. About
sixty thousand British troops are
there" y ,ss s !
Papajian Bey declared that rebel-
lions OF a minor nature probably
would occur in Egypt, but said he did
not believe there would be any ser-
ious trouble as the British authori-
ties had the situation well IA hand.
He did not believe successful Ger-
man invasion Of Egypt would be
possible. 81 rs ID ,,ls 2sISs
