during discussion of certain future

Pressed to give reason for his

VIM. w. White died at his residence
Tuesday evening ut 5 o'clock after
IL long illness. Months ago Mr.. White
was stricken with Brights disease and
II could not be checked. He went east,
stopping ut the Battle Creek sanitar-
ium for some time and going from
there to Toledo, Ohio. Complications
developed and few weeks ago, with
Mrs. White, he returned home From
that time on he made IA gallant fight
against the advance of the disease,
realizing fully that It was only ques-
tion Of time when death would claim
the victory.
His Career.
Mr.. White was native of Joliet.
H., about 4S years of age He came
70 Lewistown from Chicago in 1898.
to take position with the Power
Mercantile company. After several
years In this employment he engaged
IN business for himself, continuing In
this until couple of years ago, when
he became Il salesman with the Mon
tana Hardware company. He was EN-.
ployed with that concern until last
winter. when he fell from a ladder in
the store, seriously injnring his knee.
Following this the serious ailments
developed to point that incapncitated
him for his usual work
Mr.. White married in this city Miss
Grace stiles whose father was prom
inent IN the milling industry here IN

sister and two brothers, the latter be-
IN. engaged In business at Joliet, III.

his August speech indicating clearly
a determination to deprive Russia of
her Polish territories.
This statement of German demands,
while seeming to be cool assumption
of certain ultimate victory, is emblem
attic of the positive assurance of all
Germans, who are convinced the Ger
man armies cannot be beaten and that
the Balkan situation soon will clear
up in their favor. This would give
them a road to Turkey. whence cop
per, cotton. foodstuffs and other sup
plies may be obtained.
To all arguments as to the impos.
sibility of keeping the manhood of the
nation on the firing line for pro-
tracted period, as to the steadily grow
ing financial burden of the war, as
to the paralysis of German business
life, except as devoted to war pur-
poses, and as to the general desire for
peace, they reply that other nations
are suffering equally and that Ger.
many will not be the first to crack.
