WELL KNOWN IN AUDUBON

item taken from the daily paper at

Those of the residents here who
remember "Al" Tharnish, cousin of
Ernest Tharnish of this city, and
twenty odd years ago a foot racer,
whose poweress was known all over
this country, will be interested in
knowing that Mr.. Tharnish in a court
at Memphis, Tenn, was recently
awarded a verdict for damages in the
sum of $4,000 against the Memphis
street car company for injuries re-
ceived by him about two years ago.
when In getting off car his foot
caught and he was dragged two or
three car lengths. Mr.. Tharnish has
been practically helpless since, the
accident having resulted in a nervous
arrangement which has left him in
bad shape. He has lived in the south
for a number of years, having been
located for many years at Jonesbor-
ough, Ark, and later at Memphis. II
is understood the company will ap-
peal the case, but the point of inter.
est Is that AL won the verdict"

Letter to DR.. Bait
From Germany Tells
of Conditions There

A letter of exceptional interest was
received by DR.. Max Bait of the North
Dakota Agricultural college from a
cousin who is living in Berlin. The
letter was dated March IL and is most
interesting as it gives information
from the capital of one of the warning
powers of Europe and has the person
al touch that is to be secured only in
personal letters.
The writer formerly lived in Am
erica but has for the past eight years
resided in the German capital.
Portions of the manuscript are as
follows:
a" The newspapers you sent us
are much appreciated and we love to
read them although the war news Is
most misleading and one sided. I"
The feeling here has been very bitter
against America and excepting Eng
land there is probably no country that
Germany has been so disappointed in
as in America. The standpoint taken
here is that America has favored Eng
land at every opportunity and done
everything 1t could to harm Germany,
and there Is hardly one German who
believes American assurances that
America is really neutral. Personally
j am sorry that this bad feeling should
nave cropped out between Germany
and America, as you know formerly
the Americans were. the ideals of the
Germans but this has changed entire
ly, although / must admit that the
very greatest reserve is used in show
ing or expressing such feeling.
AS to conditions here, they have
hardly changed since the war began.
Everything is quiet and normal here
and 1T is difficult for us to appreciate
that Germany is waging such a gigan-
tic war. The faith of the German peo-
has never wavered and since the last
victories of Hindenburg in the east,
the failure of the allies in the west to
make any headway at all and the new
plan to isolate England, the German
people are more hopeful than ever that
success will be theirs.
THE prices OF food stuffs are con-
siderably higher but with little fru-
gality those in moderate. circumstances
can get along very well. The poorer
classes will, of course, feel quite acute
ly the measures now taken by the gov
ernment in regard to bread and flour.
However, the 2 kilos of bread allotted
to each person is more than sufficient.
The regulations passed regarding the
economy and conservation of food
stuffs need cause no alarm, they are
only very wise precautionary measures
and really do not entail any hardshiR,

THOUSANDS OF
WOMEN TO WORK

London, April IA. Thirty three
thousand women had registered them.
selves for special war service up te
the end of March. This statement
was made last night by Walter Runci-
man, president of the Board of Trade,
to a deputation representing the vari-
Gus women's societies in London.
Six thousand of the women, Mr.,
Runciman said, had declared them
selves willing to work in armament
factories, four thousand in clothing
factories, 100 in dairy work, 500 as
gardeners, 1000 in various branches
of agricultural work, 1,100 as shop
assistants, 500 as leatherworkers, and
5000 in clerical work. Six hundred
women had been given employment at
the board of trade, Mr.. Runcirnan ad-
ded.
The government, the speaker con-
tinued, Insisted that women employed
on government contract work be paid
the same rates as men. The govern
ment had arranged to give women
willing and qualified to undertake
dairy or agricultural work. fort
nights training in agricultural coli
leges, paying them meanwhile $5 per
week as living allowance.
Sylvia Pankhurst. the militant suf-
fragette,. urged that the government
should take measures to secure for
women, in whatever capacity they are
employed. the same pay as men res

Report of Establishment of
Base In Mexico "Pre-
posterous."
is OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Washington. April 15.-An official
statement authorized by the Japanese
embassy, characterized as "preposter-
Gus" reports that a naval base Is to be
established at Turtle Bay, Lower Cali
fornia, and declared: There has new
.er heenz-anw intention roa the part OF
the Japanese government to locate a
naval base or occupy territory on the
west coast of Mexico"
Operations of Japanese warships in
Turtle bay, embassy officials said, were
solely for the purpose of salvaging the
stranded cruiser Asama.
1t is stated a landing an the shore Of
the bay was probably found necessary
in connection with the work of Salv-
age. Dispatches from Los Angeles
telling of the gathering of foreign
warships in secluded Mexican haven,
OF large camp ashore and mines laid
in the harbor, created no sensation
among Washington officials.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said
the navy department was without ad-
vices as to just what had happened,
but if anything extraordinary was 60
ing on it certainly would have been
reported by the American warships in
that vicinity. 1t added II is not un-
usual If the Japanese landed in con-
nection with their efforts to save the
Asama.

the conductor ran ahead.
He signalled the motor

He applied the power
