The matter may not come before the
board officially but the most important
thing in connection with the meeting
of the county board Tuesday is the ex-
preston of the views of the supervi-
sors in regard to the estimates for the
tuberculosis sanitarium. The special
committee in charge Of the erection of
the building has the power to go ahead
with the work, but its members do not
care to exceed the appropriation made
for the sanitarium without getting the
opinions of the other members of the
board. The committee has plans that
it considers as nearly perfect for the
building as it is possible to get and
these plans have been approved by the
state board of control, but the commit
tee is prepared to accept the decision
of the majority Of the board as to
whether or not it is advisable to re-
wise the plans so that the building can
be kept within the original estimates
of cost.

age and night desk sergeant of the
Kenosha police department, died at the
family residence on Pleasant street
just after five clock Saturday even
ing. Death came after a week IS i'll
ness from pneumonia. Few Of the
friends of Sergeant Zievers had known
of his serious illness and the announce
ment of his death came as great
shock. Mr.. Zieyers was taken i'll a
week ago Sunday evening while at
work at the police office. He did not
deem his illness serious, but went to
his home and on Wednesday he was
up again, but on Thursday he had a
relapse. Even on Saturday afternoon

member of the Kenosha police de-
partment and he served as member of
the department for little over four
teen years. He spent much of this
time travelling a beat and he was con
nected with the solution of many fam
Gus cases in Kenosha. For the past
three years he had served III the ca
pacity of night desk sergeant and in
this capacity he had won the admira-
ton Of the men in the department and
the chief. He was a careful painstak-
ing officer, always courteous and al
ways ready to do his part in the office.
When the announcement Of his death
was made at roll call on Saturday
night many of the members Of she force
shed tears and from the chief to the
youngest man on the force all had
good word to say for "The Sergeant. -
In former years Mr.. Zievers had tax
Oh CoiAo1eACI 1ul6 LII bcICSG Ill pOIlUlCS
and he had been regarded as leader
among the democracy of the county for
some time. He was twice the candi-
date of the party for the Office of sheriff
and he had been active in many city
and county campaigns Notwith-
standing this activity he never allow
ed his political work to interfere with
his work on the police force.
Sergeant Zievers is survived by his
widow and four children, Miss Mar
garet, Carl, Clarence and Urban Ziev-
ers, all of Kenosha.
He was member of st. Michaels
Society of St. George Church and Of

Involved the British contingent in ruin by failure to obey an order to reinforce the allied left. It was even alleged that he had been publicly dis graced by Gen. Pau; some reports said he had been shot. Defenses at tempted by friendly newspapers were censored, and the Liberte in an arti- cle about Charleroi, published Dec. 4, said that the general failed to sup port the third army. The Liberte O. day publishes letter from Gen. Per cin, denying the charge and saying:
 Tt is true that I commanded the Lille army, but I received no order to reinforce the troops engaged at Charleroi."
 Although Percin thus disposes of the specific charge, it is freely stated here that Gen. Joffre, who did not hesitate to dismiss five important generals after the last manoeuvres, has been equally severe since hostili- ties began toward all incompetents, regardless of their rank or previous reputation.

Not Russian Mines.

STOCKHOLM, San. 6.-The SweG- ish minister of foreign affairs today gave out statement with regard to the recent sinking of three Swedish steamers as the result of striking mines in the Gulf of Bothnia.
 "The Germans" the foreign min- ister says, declare that the mines were Russian, as no German mine laying had been done up to the time of the disaster. Official investiga- tions made by Finland disclose tha. several groups of anchored mines were German and not Russian, and that they had been laid during the war in the Gulf of Bothnia. No float ing mines, it was stated, had been found.''

AN OLD SUGGESTION.

Former President Taft reverts to a familiar topic when, as in a recent address, he declares that congress should assume authority for the na- tional government to see that it can. not be dragged into international diff. faculties ''by that wanton, reckless, wicked willingness on the part of a narrow section of the country to grat. fly racial prejudice and class hatred by fragrant breach of treaty rights in the form of state law or by lawless violence"
 As president, MT. Taft wrestled with the problem Theodore Roose welt knew it even in acuter form. Il threatens to disturb the present ad mtnistration. President Benjamin Harrison addressed congress on the same subject. .......
 In his third annual message to the legislature, twenty-three years ago Harrison said, discussing the lynch ing of Italian subjects at New Or leans: Tt would, I believe, be en tirely competent for congress to make offenses against treaty rights of for eigners domiciled in the United States cognizable in the federal courts.' ..--.
 As an abstract proposition. the su periority of an international treaty representing the will of the nation over state legislation is not challeng

PROFESSIONAL SOLDIERS AND
 "HONOR."

Now it is the Germans who are say ing of the British victory down by the Falkland Islands that, as it was won by a fleet greatly superior in numbers and weight to it's antago- nists, the glory is all for the con- quered, and that the victors ought to be, if anything, rather ashamed of themselves for winning the fight unfairly. A few days ago the Brit ish were making, with hardly less of naivete, the same sort of comment on their own disaster off the other coast.
 Both are quite right, viewing these episodes as decently civilized indl- viduals view their own private quar- rels and the settlement thereof, but, just as "business is business" 50 war is war;" and it ill becomes any participant in it to complain when an advantage is gained over him by resort to any form of what, in any other human activity, would be con- sidered desp'cable, cowardly, and treacherous.
 This is the more curious because all through the ages the professional soldier has talked more about "hon- or" than anybody else. He has, in deed, come near to claiming, as against civilians, practical monop- oly of that quality or virtue, as least so far as concerned proceedings of a sort directly or indirectly martial. Yet never through the ages has the professional soldier been any more careful to fight fairly" than is the most vicious gangster. He has never shown the slightest compunction about attacking few with many, about stealing on foe at midnight, and murdering him as he sleeps, about shooting him from ambush-which in anybody else would be called assassi- nation-or about doing every one of ehS ldok nave uldue Lu0 udulta of spy" despicable throughout the world since the beginning of recori- ed history and probably much before that.
 The fact is that "honor," though so often in the warriors mouth, appears only in vestiges and traces as a char acteristic of war--that in war it is anything to win" Even misuse of the white flag and other signs of sur. render, though vehemently condemn ed in theory, has been charged by practically every army against prac. tically every other, and usually the accusations were true.
 Navies, for some reason or other. have shown little more regard for "honor' in it's ordinary meaning than have land forces. Now and then, very very rarely, somebody, like Lawrence in the Chesapeake, has acted Hike a gentleman" toward his foe-yes, and like Lawrence has been severely crit icised and posthumously punished for doing it.-Ex

FaIkenhayn Youngest Chief.

Falkenhayn Youngest Chief.
 LONDON, Jan. GA writer in the Daily Mail gives the following ap- preciation of the new German chief of-staff:
 Gen. von Falkenhayn, who has been Prussian minister of war since the autumn of 1914, is the youngest general staff chief Germany has ever had. He is only 55 years, the junior of the kaiser himself, and he super sedes von Moltke, who is 63. Gen. won Falkenhayn is a fine type of Prussian officer of the higher grade. He became war minister only few weeks before the notorious Zabern crisis which shook military Germany to the foundations. He won his lau- rels as the defender of the divine right of colonels' in almost his maid en speech in the Reichstag.
 Neither political foes nor disinter- ested observers will ever forget the unf1inching figure he cut amid the Reichstag's roaring indignation on that occasion. He stood his ground like a real soldier, refusing utterly to be 'cowed by the storm which ragged around him. He developed genuine parliamentary talents, and his unterrified espousal of the mili- tary caste's vested privileges did much to bolster up the arms position after the Reichstag had taken a vo;e of mistrust against von Bethmann. Hollweg.
 "Von Falkenhayn is a trim. active man of mediums build, with close. cropped iron gray mustache and hair He was for three years German mili' tary instructor in China and was at tached to Field Marshal von Walder sees general staff during the Allies operations in China in 1900."
