Another Grave Problem
Faces the President.


President Wilson is facing another
crave problem. DIR. Dumba, the
Austrian ambassador, has practically
deAcd the United States and proposes
T. continue instructions given him by
l;s government to call all subjects Of
lis country from the munition fac
tories Of this country. His activity
II this Inc was discovered when some
az his communications, sent secretly

terceptod. This follows the attempts

ROSS plants Of the country and they
fsre, supposedly been due to the ac-
tixi4ics Of the German and Austrian
a~cnte operating in this country.
Heretofore however, a mild hint TO
tke governments concerned, has had
nc eject Of causing a cessation.
Now however, the Austrian ambassa-
dor boldly states that he intends con-
Timing the work which he has been
caught in the act Of doing, and furth-
ermore expects the department OF la
Dor Of this country to aid him IN
finding employment for the idle.
That the accredited representative
Of one country to friendly power
would deliberately violate the laws
Of the country to which he had been
sent seems impossible, but it never
theless is a fact. This is proven by
TIE communications which have been
seized. one Of which says: I'VE can
disorranize and hold up for months,
if not entirely prevent, the manu-
facture Of munitions in Bethlehem
and the Middle West, which, in the
opinion Of the German military at
tache. is Of great Importance and am
plv outweighs the expenditure of the
money involved AS those who re-
linguished their employment would
have to be provided for, the amount
would be large.
For the customary channels, there

not a little money already upon
printed appeals to the worlmen EN-
ployed at Bethlehem and elsewhere
But before enlarging the scope of his
operations, with expenditures to cor
respond, he deemed it advisable t
secure sanction from Vienna. It neeC
scarcely be added that he took what
he regarded as every possible pre-
caution to prevent his purposes from
becoming public property. That he be
lieved he selected his messenger will

his statement: Il can't imagine hov

DR.. Dunba has gone to Washing

according to the case he has com
pletely established against himself
he has sought to cripple certain O
the perfectly legitimate industries O
this country. Fair means havin,

w. o. w. Encampment-

The Woodmen of the World en-
campment at Pensacola it is said was
the greatest meeting of its kind ever
held. Just outside city, at one of
the parks, the tents were stretched
and they lived in true woodmen style
to the extent of sleeping in tents any
way. They held the keys of the city
all the time, and when they cared for
it the best Pensacola had was theirs.
Among the big entertainments given
them was banquet at the San Carlos
hotel. The delegates left with fond
recollections of the West Florida me-
tropolis. Gainesville Sun.

GRANT TOWNSHIP OFFERS
REMARKS ON THAT ROAD

Editor Reflector: We notice In
Mr.. Riddles explanation of why the
so-calIed gravel road put in by the
city of Abilene on South Buckeye
is a failure, Mr.. Riddle makes the
assertion that the city realizing that
the ditch leading to Mud creek
needed regarding in order to drain
their road, referred the matter to
the county and the county referred
1t to the township board. The facts
of the case are that it was never
referred to the township board by
any one. He also made the assertion
that the ditch was damned by de-
bris and snow. So FAR as the debris
is concerned the ditch was burned
clean late last summer. And we
don't consider we are under obi
cations to shovel snow out Of the
ditch in order to drain their road.
He also asserts that II the ditch had
been properly cared for the road
could have been saved. In that we
think he Is mistaken. While we do
not pretend to be expert road build
ers we do claim that It is impossi-
BILE to build q road that will stand
up in wet weather Of as low q grade
of material as was used and as fiat
a surface as was maintained in con-
struction of said road.-Member OF
the Board Of Grant Township.

MRS. SARAH BRENNEMAN
LAID 10 HER REST

The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Bren-
neman was held Wednesday after
noon from the Brethren in Christ
church. Rev. ]. N. Engle assisted
by Rev. M. L. Hoffman and Rev. J.
R. Herr conducted the services.
Burial was in Abilene cemetery. The
pallbearers were Isaac .Shockey, A.
o. Zook, D. S. Wagaman, j. L. Kru-
ger, John Wenger and I. H. Eshel-
man.
Mrs. Sarah Brenneman was born
at West Fairview, Cumb. county, Pa.
May IT, 1845. Death came unex-
pectedly to her home on East Sixth
street on Monday evening, March
Is, 1915, at $3.50 o'clock, thus re-
leasing her from suffering of only
a few days duration. Age SO years,
9 months and 28 days, The end
came peacefully as one falling
asleep. ILL.,.
Hers was a life we'll spent and
we feel that the world was better
for her having lived in it, as her
endeavor was to be at peace with
all, and as she lived for peace so
the end seemed to be one of peace
and calm. OF her it may truly be
said, she did much to cheer and
help the sick and to succor. those
in need. With her charity, forbear-
ance, love, mercy and goodness
counted for more than earthly gain.
There are none, we believe, who
can truthfu1ly say, that after she
accepted the Christian faith, that
she did not endeavor to follow these
graces and noble impulses of which
the Heavenly Father had given her
such a bounteous store.
Her maiden name was Bowman,
daughter OF BENJAMIN and Anna
McQuate Bowman. She had four
brothers and one sister, Of whom on
ly the sister is yet living, in Penn
sylvania. She was united in mar
rage to Kelsey w. Brenneman in
1866; to this union was born one
son, Benjaman F., who, with his
wife and two sons, Francis and
James, survive her.
Her husband preceded her to the
spirit world about eleven years ago.
She united with the Brethren in
Christ church in Pennsylvania some
thirty years ago, of which body she
continued a faithful member until
the end, and was buried by the
side Of her husband in Abilene GEM
etery where they await in their
faith the morning Of the resurrec-
ton.
The family moved from Pennsyl-
vania to Abilene in the spring of
1886, and at which place they had
since made their home.
