Lost Good Colt.

One morning last week when
H. B. Trout, of Tod township,
went to the stable, he found a
year-old finely bred colt dead in
the stall. The hitching strap was
torn, and the colts nose was
touching it's belly. From the po-
sition in which it was found, Mr..
Trout thinks that it's neck was
broken. He is of the opinion
that the horse in the next stall
bit-or snapped at the colt and
that the latter reared and drew
the strap across its neck in a way
that broke it.

We watched some robins the

hidden under clods, chips and
bits of other things during day
time. Protect the robins.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Secretary
w. J. Bryan of the State Department,
today notified Provisional President
Carranza that serious consequences
will follow any attempt on the part
of the provisional government of Mex

The warning has been sent at the
request of Great Britain, whose sub
jects own most of the wells and re-
fineries although few Of them are
American owned and operated.

some insane, others severely injured
and many of them almost dead from
lack of water and food. The terrible
dust which followed the collapse of
the buildings nearly choked those
caught in the ruins and then the lack
of water made the suffering intense.
In many instances the buildings
caught fire and burned, while the men,

the ruins begged for aid to- escape

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Brit

today that all American boats captur-
ed by the admiralty and taken to
British ports may be released by the
filing of bond to the value of the
ship and cargo. If after the investi-
CATION the ship owners are held not
to have violated the rules of inter
national law then the bond will be
released and the owners paid tor
the loss of time and expense to which
they have been subjected, while,
should the investigation by the prize
court prove that the owners have VIC
lated the rules governing the opera
tion of ships during times of war then
the bond will be confiscated.
The British ambassador is certain
that the admiralty will detain no
American vessel unless it is believed
that the law is being violated.

Of Food Prices

General Gregory today issued warn
ing to the corporations engaged in
the sale Of foodstuffs that he would
use all the power of the government
to bring them to justice if any COM
bination is made to raise the price
of wheat or any other food supply.
The attorney general insists tina:
even with the large amount of ex-
ports that the price of wheat should
not be any higher this year than last
as the crop was much larger in 1914
than in 1913 and that at the present
prices farmers and brokers are reap
ing enough profit without endeavor-
ing to place an additional burden up
on the people.

Client Taxes Bachelors.

ROTTERDAM, Jan. 16.-To get
money enough to satisfy the Germans
Ghent has compelled it's unmarried
men to pay impositions ranging from
francs in the cases of bachelors of
27 years of age, to 20 francs in the
cases of those of so years. Even
celibates in monasteries have not
been exempted from this tax. The
local hero appears to be a Socialist
alderman, Edouard Anseele, who,
though not afraid to speak his mind
to the Germans when they make pre-.
posterously unreasonable acquisitions,
has, nevertheless, shown himself a
born diplomat and has helped make
things more bearable than they would
otherwise have been. The Germans
make leading citizens act as hostages,
fifteen being chosen each day.

LONDON, Jan. 16-Grand Duke
Nicholas has started a new offensive
movement against the Germans IN
Poland. An army of fully 100000
men has been gathered on the right
bank Of the Vistula river forty miles
east of the German fortress at Thorn.
This army was gathered without the
German spies and aviators becoming
aware Of it's force. The corps of Uh-
lans sent yesterday from Thorn to
feel out the force of the Russians was
severely defeated before they knew
that the Russians had concentrated
near the frontier On the Vistula the
Russians are using armored motor
boats which carry the big siege guns
captured from the Germans and Aus
trians and these will be used to break
down the forts held by the Germans
along the river.
Threaten German Rear.
This new force threatens the Ger
man position at Mlawa and also the
German central army near Warsaw
along the Bzura, Rawka, Pilica and
Nida rivers. The Germans have for
some time been using the Vistula riv-
er for the transportation of supplies
to the central Poland army, but by
the capture of a number of transport
boats loaded with ammunition and
the taking of the positions held along
the river the Germans can no long
er use the easy river transportation
but must resort to transporting the
supplies from the frontier by rail and
wagon train.

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-The French at
tacks upon the German positions at
La Bassee have been repulsed with
great slaughter. The French had
hoped to relieve the pressure on the
line near Paris, which is in great
danger of breaking and made at
tacks upon the strongly fortified
trenches and were cut to pieces. Fol-
lowing the failure at La Bassee the
French opened general attack all
along the line and this attack is still
being pushed in spite of the loss to

Germans have driven the attacking
force back. The Bavarian troops at
