Harlan. Dec. IA young man ar
rived In Harlan recently direct from
service in the German army.
He is native Of Schleswig. one OF
the German provinces taken from Dem
mark in the war Of 1864, 1t being the
province lying right on the German
border. At the time OF his escape he
was home from the German army on
leave Of absence. Having leave he
also had passport which permitted
him to travel. He improved the time
by taking his bicycle and wheeling to-
ward the border; also toward the sea
coast, where the border touches the
sea-
AS the border is ciuseiy guarded. he
could not leave Germany by land. He
could, however. leave his wheel, at
night, wade into the North sea, and
swim and wade around the point
where the border reached the sea.
Which is exactly what he did.
When reached land on the Danish
side he was just about tuckered out.
He had about strength enough left to
crawl to land and into some hay stacks
which stood near the coast. He was
found In the stacks the next day by the
farmer and carried to the home of the
farmer. He remained there, carefully
cared for until he got able to travel.
Being well again he went to Copen-
hagen, took ship for America, and here
he is.
Prior to entering the army the young
man had fairly good business in his
home town. Upon entering the army
he turned the business over to his
father in case of his disappearance
Upon disappearing he notified his
ia Their of the fact and the father is
now in charge.

What Would Lincoln Do?

The two pre-eminent constructive
statesmen of the last century were
Lincoln and Bismark. In Germany
they are now celebrating the centen-
airy of Bismark, who was born April
/. 1915. The present month brings
to us in America the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the end of the Civil War and
the death of Lincoln. Presiden Lin
coin accompanied the Federal troops
when they entered Richmond April
4, 1865; Lee surrendered to Grant at
Appomattox April 8; Lincoln was
shot in the evening of April IA and
died the following day. Wholly with
out prejudice or sectional feeling,
Lincoln was intensely occupied with
plans for the restoring of harmony
and the quick return of the seeded
States to their full autonomy and
their proper places in the Union when
his death plunged the nation in grief.
He had the same conception as JEFF
ferson's of the paramount Importance
of national union. and of maintain
ing our continental republic upon
the basis of the federal system.
For his leadership all parts OF the
country ought now to be profoundly
grateful. II he could have lived a
few years longer. we would perhaps
have been spared some unfortunate
chapters of our subsequent history
and should have worked our policies,
both domestic and foreign. that would
have made us a greater and strong
er nation than We are today. But he
accomplished enough to earn secure
fame as a statesman of supreme rank
He was an American in whom were
blended the characteristics OF all
parts of the country in way that
made him national in the full sense;
humanitarian of great vision, in
whose heart there was no animosity
towards any nation or race OF man
kind. The worlds greatest need to
day is of leaders of the Lincoln mold,
who will believe that the welfare OF
each nation can be made to harmon
ize with that of all the others. Hat
ing war. Lincoln was. nevertheless,
impelled to lead a colossal four
years. struggle on behalf of an Amer
lean unity that should make for per-
manent peace and human liberty.
II he were alive to-day he would
probably hold that our country ought
to ascertain and then to express In
clear terms the common sentiment of
the acknowledgement countries. He
