GERMANY PLANS
Offer TO italy
Would Induce Latter to En-.
ter War as Ally.
new TREATY IS PROPOSED

Said Promise Is Made of Cession Of
Trent, Now an Austrian Province,
and Ratification Of Eastern Italian
Frontier by Further Grant Of Land.
Rome, Feb. 16.-The Idea Nazionale.
a newspaper published in the inter-
ests of the National party, prints a
forecast of German proposals to Italy,
which reads as follows:
Before the end of February Prince
Won Buelow, the German ambassador
to Italy, will present to the Italian
government concrete proposal for
Italian participation in the war on
the side of Germany.
"This consists of the cession by
Austria of the province of Trent and
the rectifcation of the Eastern Italian
frontier by the addition of strip of
land going as far as the IsOnzo river.
In addition Germany will pledge her.
self to conclude new treaty with
Italy which will afford protection to
Italys Mediterranean interests.
I'm exchange Italy is to take part
at once in the war. She will occupy
Tunis and help Turkey drive the Eng
fish from Egypt, which will return
under the dominion of the sultan OF
Turkey. In addition the Italian fleet
will attack the Anglo-French naval
forces in the Mediterranean"
Continuing, the Idea Nazionale says
that Prince Won Buelow, referring to
Triest, made this statement:
1T is impossible to give Triest to
Italy, because this seaport is the
lung, not of Austria, but of Germany"
At the conclusion of one of his
conversations with the Italian states
men, Prince Won Buelow, according to
this newspaper, made use of this
phrase:
Either Italy will be friendly to-.
ward us, or we will treat her worse
than we are treating England"

State School Funds.

ate recommended for passage Senator
O'Neill's bill authorizing an amend
ment to the state constitution provid-
ing for the investment of school funds

When the measure was reached
considerable opposition developed and
various senators executed parliament
tary moves for the purpose of block
ing the bill.
Senator R. c. Dunn of Princeton
moved to Indefinitely postpone action
on the bill, but his motion was lost

similar loans in other states.

A SPLENDID RECITAL

The recital given at the Methodist
Episcopal church Tuesday evening
by the first and second grade pupils
Of Prof. d. f. Gifford's class was well
ATTENDED. These young musicians
are showing marked improvement
under the careful and painstaking
leadership of Prof. Clifford. 1t GER
tainly is gratifying to the people of
Audubon to know that the talents OF
these children are being developed,
and We are indeed fortunate in num-
bering among our fellow citizens
such a capable and efficient instruc-
tor as Mr.. Clifford.
The orchestra numbers were es-
pecially good. In fact every num-
Der on the program is worthy OF
mention. That Audubon people are
heartily in sympathy with the work
is attested by the large and enthus-
iastic crowd that attended the re-
cital

WAS A BIG DRAWING CARD

The first episode of THE Exploits
of Elaine" with the Clutching Hand,
was shown at the Gen theatre last
Thursday The demand for admis-
sion was so great that manager Carl
Hoover was obliged to run three
shows in order to accommodate the
people.
THE Clutching Hand" was very
cleverly advertised about three weeks
before the showing OF this episode.
Nothing in the history of Audubon
created such a sensation as the first
announcement of THE Clutching
Hand" 1t is very clever story and
the pictures are intensely interest
ing. 1t bids fair to entirely eclipse
the Million Dollar Mystery" The
second episode will be shown at the
Gem tonight and each succeeding
Thursday night until the story has
been completed. Those who saw the
first episode insist that its the best
line of pictures that have yet been
shown in Audubon's great pleasure
center"

PATIENT SENT TO CLARINDA

Jens l.. Towering, bachelor aged
about fifty years, living north of
Maple Grove cemetery, was taken be-
fore the insane commission Monday
on warrant signed by his brother
Hans Towering. The mans mind has
been affected for eight years past but
the past two months he has had the
hallucination about devils attempt
ing to injure him. He was never mar
ried and the physicians are inclined
to believe his living alone has much
TO do with his present condition. He
was adjudged insane and sheriff Sun
berg took him to Clarinda on the
noon train Monday. He will receive
the proper kind of treatment at the
state hospital, and, as his condition
is not necessarily deemed inculable,
he may return completely cured with
in year.

HORSE FALLS ON FARMER

When Ed. Holtz went to bride one
of his horses Monday morning, the
animal rared up on his hind legs,
stumbled and fell, landing on Mr..
Holtz in such a manner as to break
his right leg just below the knee.
Mr.. Holtz managed to get to the
house and as soon as a team could
be hitched up, was brought to town
and the fracture reduced.
1t is quite unfortunate for Ed. to
be laid up at this time or the year as
spring work was just commencins.
He is living on the T. II. Turner
farm in Cameron township. having
moved there the first of March. Mr..
Holtz will hire hand and manage to
get his crops in. BY harvest time he
hopes to be able to resume work and
hopes that the fracture will be heal
ed by that timeso he can take care or
the farm work.

STATE ISSUES BEING DEFINED

While it seems a little early to be
seriously considering the election of
a Governor in 1916, yet a great deal
of discussion is already taking place
and the lines and issues are already
being formed. 1t seems to be agreed
among the temperance forces that a
strong man must be selected, and
one man united upon, if the nomina-
ton is not to be given a pronounced
liberal, such as Lieutenant Gov. Hard
ing, who has already given out a
statement defining what he considers
the issue to be. Now comes Attorney
General Cosson and takes issue with
Mr.. Harding, and asserting that the
issues are to be, speaking generally,
law enforcement, temperance and the
suffrage question. If these are in
fact to be the issues, and who can
doubt it, no one is better prepared to
speak than Mr.. Cosson. No one can
question that he is the pioneer of law
enforcement, submitting to a defeat
for a second term as county attorney
of this county because of his stand
upon this question, at time when
law enforcement was not popular in
Iowa. AS State Senator he achieved
an enviable reputation thru the Cos
son laws all looking toward law en-
forcement and temperance. He was
while in the Senate the Chairman of
the Committee on Suppression of In
temperance, at a time when few were
seeking this particular craftsmanship.
He also at that time made an unsuc-
cessful fight for equal suffrage.
In a public address made last De-
cember, Mr.. Cosson outlined the work
of the coming legislative session, and
careful comparison of his recon.
mendations with the actual work of
the legislature show that many of the
recommendation made by him have
been enacted into law. He has taken
an intelligent and advanced stand up
on the question of prison reform, and
suppression of vice and other social
and moral questions. In fact, with
out any reflection upon the other
competent and able men whose names
have been mentioned, if a real pion-
eer is wanted, one who saw what was
needed little before the rest, and
had the courage and the ability to
make successful fight for it, George
Cosson should be nominated and ell
ected Governor in 1916.

The school will hold its annual

of the school will find it convenient

various lines of work taken up
While parents are at all times inter.
ested in the schools, yet they do not
find the opportunity during the year
to come there to see what is actually
being done. A halliday spent at the
time of the exhibit will not only be
very helpful in finding out what is
beign done, but it will also prove a
very interesting day of visiting

of the season was played Sunday be-
tween two teams of the town. The
score was close one, resulting in
victory for the White Sox to q.
The Cubs put up a brilliant fight,
in fact both mines did some brilliant
playing. Batteries: Cubs-Berg and
stafford; White Sox- Booton and
McManigal.
1t is quite probable that a team
will be picked from both these mines
that will seek to entertain the fans
during the summer months. L. s.

SCHOOL opERETTA POSTPONED

"Alice in Wonderland" the oper-
eta which the school was planning
to give ON Friday evening of this
week, has had to be postponed until
Thursday evening, April 22nd. One
of the children taking part in the
play has been accidentally hurt, and
as this persons part is one of the
leading roles, ii is too late to make
any other arrangements. Because
another entertainment is dated for
Friday evening. April 23rd, the OPP
eretta will have to be given on
the Thursday before.
The story of the operetta is fhe
same as that in the book Alice in
Wonderland" The setting of the
first act is In garden scene in
Wonderland, which wonderful coun-
try is supposedly located near the
center of the earth. A company of
FAIRIES find Alice asleep IN the garden
and the operetta opens with the
dance of the FAIRIES about the sleep
ing Alice. Alice then becomes &C
quainted with the various characters
that live in the mysterious Wonder
land, such as the Caterpillar, Father
William, The Young Man, Rabbit,
the Frog Footman, the Duchess, and
a company of others. Her experiences
are very odd in every case, and quite
different from anything that has
ever happened to her before.
In the second act. Alice takes tea
with The March Hare, The Halter,
and the Sleepy Dormouse. 1t is in
deed Mad Tea Party" as the act
is called In the first scene of the
third act, Alice is entertained by the
Cryphon and the Mock Turtle, who
tell her fantastic tales of sea life,
until the ladies of the court come in
and dance for her. She next wanders
into the court room, where the Knave
of Hearts is being tried for stealing
the tarts. All of the peculiar people
she has met in Wonderland are
there. They do not hesitate to inter
rupt proceedings with their shouts or
approval and .disapproval. Alice is
called to the witness stand-she trips
over the jury of cards-presumes to
hold an opinion against that of the
King and Queen-sinks down in ter
ror at the indigant cries of Put her
out"--only to awaken to find her
self alone and safe from the people
of her dream.
The operetta has been in charge
of Miss Elizabeth Brettell, supervis-
or of music and art. and she has been
assisted by Miss Watson of the high
school and by various teachers in the
grades. The cast of characteres is as
follows:
Alice ................ Ollivene Childs
King ................-. LaVerne Hansen
Queen " Esther Gates
