Whats his latest?"
why, he's been trying all the
morning to prove that 1915 is an un-
lucky year. He's manipulated the
figures 1915 with addition, subtrac-
tion, multiplication, division and the
rule of three"
What has he found that seems un-
lucky?"
Nothing, except that when he add
ed 1915 together and subtracted the

Veteran Winona Teacher Weds.

Winona.-Alvin Braley, veteran re-
tired teacher, who last fall was elected
clerk of the district court here for a
four years term, has returned to
Winona from Kansas, bringing with
him bride in the person of a sweet
heart of early days. Back in the '7Os
when Mr.. Braley was teacher in a
rural school in Winnebago county,
Wisconsin, near Oshkosh, his star pu-
pill was Sarah H. Bourne. They drifted
apart and each was welded and
brought up families. Now each being
left alone in life with their children
grown and settled, they recently met
again and the wedding resulted.

Germany via neutral ports. Since
from neutral ships, without further
fOrmality, all merchandise proceeding
to Germany as well as all merchandise

trail property. Just as it was also with
the Beers, the German people is now
to be given the choice of perishing
from starvation with its women and
children or of relinquishing it's inde-

Calls Submarine Warfare Necessary.
While our enemies thus loudly and
openly proclaimed war without mercy
until our utter destruction, we were
conducting war in self-defense for
our national existence and for the sake
OF peace of an assured permanency
We have been obliged to adopt a sub.
marine warfare to meet the declared
intentions OF our enemies and the
method of warfare adopted by them in
contravention of international law.
Recognizes NeutraIs May Suffer.
| With all its efforts in principle to
protect neutral life and property from
damage as much as possible, the Ger
man government recognizes unreserv-
edly in it's memorandum of February
that the interests of neutrals might
suffer from the submarine warfare
However, the American government
will also understand and appreciate
that in the fight for existence which
has been forced upon Germany by it's
adversaries and announced By them,
it is the sacred duty of the imperial
government to do all within it's power
to protect and save the lives of Ger
man subjects. If the imperial govern
ment were derelict in these. its duties
it would be guilty before God and his
tory of the violation of those principles
OF highest humanity which are the
foundation OF every national existence.
lustania Tragedy EngIand's Fault?
THE case of the Lusitania shows
with horrible clearness to what jeopar-
dizing of human lives the manner of
conducting war employed by cur ad-
versaries leads. In the most direct
contradiction of international Jaw, all
distinctions between merchantmen and
war vessels have been obliterated by
the order to British merchantmen to
arm themselves and to ram subma-
rines, and the promise of rewards
therefor, and neutrals who use mer-
chantmen as travellers thereby have
been exposed in an increasing degree
to all the dangers of war.
Might Have Destroyed Submarine.
If the commander of the German
submarine which destroyed the Lusi.
tania had caused the crew and passen-
gers to take to the boats before firing
the torpedo, this would have meant
the sure destruction of his own vessel.
After the experience in sinking much
smaller and less seaworthy vessels. it
was to be expected that mighty ship
like the Lusitania would remain above
water long enough even after the tor
pedoing to permit passengers to enter
the ships boats. Circumstances of a
/ very peculiar kind, especially the pres
ence on board of large quantities of
| highly explosive materials, defeated
this expectation. In addition, it may
