DRAIN COMMISSIONERS WIN

The case of Spiegel against Drain
Commissioners Barrett of Saginaw
county and Alonzo Griffin of Shiawassee
county, was affirmed in the supreme
court Tuesday, Mr.. Spiegel losing his
suit against the commissioners. The
suit grew out of the letting of the con
tract for the Griffith joint drain, be.
tween Shiawassee and Saginaw
counties.
Mr.. Spiegel was awarded a con.
tract by the drain commissioners for
the drain. After several months delay
and extensions OF time, the commits
sionere. on the advice of Prosecutors
Collins of Shiawassee. and Deyereaux
of Saginaw counties. caused the con-
tract held by Mr. Spiegel to be for
feited. The contractor then started
suit against the commissioners. He
sued to collect on the contract.
Following the opening statement to
the jury by Judge Crane of Saginaw
for the plaintiff, Attorneys j. "a. Collins
and S. O. Pulver of Shiawassee county,
and Bird Vincent of Saginaw county
made motion that the case be taken
from the jury. The attorneys held
that Mr.. Spiegel could not bring suit
against the drain commissioners as any
Judgment could be collected from the I
county and that only certain land
owners were interested in the drain.
They held that the only redress Mr..
opiegel had was to mandamus the |
Judge Miner at the
opening of court the following day,
dismissed the case.

TEN BILLION FOR WAR

LONDON Feb 16.-Lloyd George, chancellor ot the echeuuer told the house of commons last night that Great Britain must spend ten billions the war this year He warned the house and the country to be prepared for an enormous increase in taxation of various industries and of wealth and he expressed the belief that in the crisis facing the nation the people will meet the expense with patience and patriotism. While the chancellor did not enter into details as to how the money would be raised he hnted that wealth would probably have to bear the greater part of the burden Should the government float another loan he believed the people would more than take it up right in the British islands The transportation of troops to foreign countries is exceedingly costly and the British empire he reminded the house. is engaged in war in places so remote as Asatc Turkey Africa and other places not to speak of the European continent The new army also needs equipment of the most perfect kind In addition to all this some of the smaller allied nations must receive financial aid He declared the governments full confidence in the ability of the people themselves to meet
 the expenses necessary for the prosecution of the war to
 successful conclusion The leaders of the opposition de- cared that the government would have all the aid possible from their side of the house. Several questions put to ministers touching the progress of the war but the prime minister and the first lord of the admiralty who both in the lower house. asked the questOnes to excuse them from answering several of the questions on the ground that military eXpedency required secrecy in many matters The tone of the speeches delivered since the convenng of the house of at the beginning of this month is quite hopeful

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 1.-The mo- tiOn that the Erupp 42-ceutimeter gun is a great novelty repudiated by Messrs. Rupp in a statement issued a few days ago. It says:
 We exhibited a 42-ceutimeter gun at the Worlds Fair in Cbivago n 1898. This. however was coast-decence gun, and was not transportable in the field like our 42-centimeter mortar. It was merely this mobility of our large siege guns which authorities abroad could not beIive in.
 "In our catalogue at the Chicago Worlds Fair, We stated that our 42- centimeter gun was one of the most powerful of existing weapons, and was capable of shooting through the strongest ship-armor at any distance likely to come into question in an en- gagement.
 "Our first 42-centimeter gun was built in 1886"

CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. l2.-The sui

O@AAANNb HbSFT wv
 ferings of the Turkish soldiers in the Lebanon mountains of Palestine have been SO severe, owing to the excep- tional coldness of the winter, that three hundred and fifty deaths from exposure were reported up to Decen- Der 25. Fighting between the Turkish troops and the natives has occurred at several points.
 A considerable number of Turkish soldiers was killed at Beersheba re- gently by Bedouin tribesmen. The Turks, it is said had ordered a ship ment of 500 camels from the skeikhs of the tribe, promising $80 each on delivery. When the camels arrived, the Turkish commander offered $250 for the lot. The indignant tribesmen thereupon broke into the Turkish ar- senal, seized weapons and ammunition and fled into the desert with the camels. Soldiers who were sent out to bring them back were disastrOusly defeated; the Bedouins escaped.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-"The Nursing Mirror" one of the organs of trained nurses in England, calls attention to the danger of spies masquerading as nurses, and adds that Lord Kitchener, himself aware of this menace, caused an investigation to be made at one of the Southampton hospitals some weeks ago There he found, according to the journal, that four women had been in- discreet in the matter of discussing matters relative to the army. While they were not spies, they showed so little common sense that they were dismissed.
 On the other side of the channel the state of affairs has been more serious Two nurses were recently found to be out-and-out spies. Both were Ameri- cans with German sympathies, accord ing to the Nursing Mirror" and both it says were "effectually dealt with" Just what this implies was not made clear.
 At any rate the agitation has re- suited in a close scrutinizing of the record and antecedents of all prospec- tive nurses together with the enforce ment of all manner of strict regula- tions at every hospital.

PETROGRAD, Feb. 12.-The war has an unbelievable fascination for the Russian school girl, hundreds of whom have run away in boys clothing and tried to enlist as volunteers. Not a few of them have got into the lines, too, as the medical examination is only a negligible formality in many places.
 Among the wounded in the battle of Nieman was a broad shOuldered girl from one of the country districts, whose disguise was not discovered until she reached the field hospital.
 In all the larger cities and towns the au horities are trying to provide employment of a wartime nature for women and girls. In Moscow there is a wer hospital attached to each school house, and the schoolgirls are assign ed work in connection with this. Each girl is made responsible for the cloth ing of one wounded patient, and the children collect the money necessary for the support of the hospital.

BORDEAUX, Feb. 12.-George Clemenceau continues to have his troubles with the censors. While his paper, LHomme Libre, was being published at Toulouse, during the so- journ of the French government at Bordeaux, it was oppressed for a whole week. It re-appeared and has since been published as L'Homme Enchaine One day recently it came out with blank two columns instead of Clemenceau's leader. All that re- mained was the signature. He has now sent a proof of the suppressed article to all members of the Chamber of Deputies with an appeal for the abolition of the political censorship. The article in question was a criticism of the various branches of Army administration.
