The demand was made and repeated
by William Rand, Jr., counsel for DR..
Karl Buenz, and his three subordinate
officials, in the course Of their trial,
for alleged conspiracy, in the United

cution, when pressed by Mr.. Rand for
the third time for a reply. We have

and identified a memorandum, signed
by Doctor Buenz, in which the Ham

full value of the steamers in case they
came to harm. This agreement was
dated September %, 1914.

NEEDED-A

Rapids needs real hospital
The people who have backed the
present hospital haveworked hard to
establish it and make it as good as it
IS. They arenow practically out of
debt or very near it and the time has
come when the city should take hold
Of the hospital proposition and build
hospital that would compare with
those in other cities of similar size.
The hospital as it now stands, al
though most proiciently managed, is
not adequate for the needs of the COM
munity, neither is it at all satisfactory
rom any point of view.
The Reporter believes that new
hospital would be good thing for the
sity. Interviews with different physi-
clans and surgeons brings to light the
need of 25 to 80 bed hospital. The
present capacity is but II beds, eight
Of which are ward beds, four in the
mems department and four in the wo-
mems department with only four pri-
yate rooms.
We need hospital, modernly equip

! surrounding country. The, present
staff at the hospital is very efficient
and under very capable management
and are doing excellent work with
what they have to work with.
Here is an opportunity for the real
worth while citizens to do something
that will be credit to the city. Let

What Causes a Town to Die

More towns die for want of conf
dence on the part of business men and
lack Of public spirit than from the riv-
airy of neighboring towns or adverse
surroundings, says a writer in west
ern paper. This is true. When a man
in search of home or a business To-
cation goes to town and finds it brim
full of hope and enthusiasm over the
prospects of the place and earnestly at
work to build up the town, he soon be-
comes imbued with the same spirit,
and as a result he drives his stakes
and goes to work with the same in
terest. When, however, he goes to a
town and every one expresses a doubt
and apprehension of the prosperity
of the place, moving about and indulg-
ing in mournful complaints about i'm
aginary evils which are likely to be-
fall the town, he feels that it is no
place for him, and shakes the dust
from his feet, while he departs with
all possible speed for some other town
Try and make a live, enterprising
progressive town out of the one in
which you live. When you are work
ing for or saying a good thing for
your town you are accomplishing a
good thing for yourself

London, Nov. 30.-Germany is rush

Signs have multiplied in the last
few days that ROumania has definitely
aligned herself with the entente allies.
There were rumors of it when the
Bucharest parliament opened on Sun
day. The fact that the allies have
i 10000 men in the Balkans and that
the Russians are sending $4,000 more
adds to this belief, because it was
generally known that. Roumania was
waiting for the allies to have half a
million men in the near East before
deciding to throw in her lot with
them.
