Nestos will win because:
The great majority of the Republicans of the
state agree with his political views.
It is the first time in the history of the state that
one Progressive has against two Stalwarts.
The people of the state feel it would be just and
fair to elect of the two senators for the western
half of the state
He has no boss and is controlled by no political
gang clique but is free to the people honest
ly and faithfully.
He practices the square deal both in business and
in politics, and in making his campaign resigned
from office not to the time in campaigning
for which the taxpayers had paid him salary.
For these reasons, great majority of the farmers
laborers and business of the state can and will
give Nestos their loyal and enthusiastic support and
their vote on June 18th.

ASKS u. S. TO ESPOUSE
CAUSE OF THE ALLIES
Attitude of Neutrality Unworthy,
Pleads American Rights League

The American Rights League, through
the publication of a message signed
by forty-three American citizens VINO
are at present in Europe, makes an
earnest plea for the United States TO
cast aside its neutrality AMI openly to
espouse the cause Of the Allies.
"The humiliating attitude Of moral
neutrality is unworthy Of u.s." the
statement reads. "Our sympatnles
should be open and pronounced TOT
those who defend what we approve
and love. Our fathers died for the
democratic liberty in which we i've
to-day, and the cause of Washington
has become the world-cause for when
the Allies are making the eXtremese
sacrifices. Those who die lot TINS
liberty to-day will pass 1t on 10 our
children tomorrow. We were IN the
vanguard Of liberty; now that the
main hosts of democracy are engaged
how can we remain Indifferent!

London, Oct. 25.-German seroplanes
on the Somme front made more than
500 raids on the Anglo-French posi-

Willehad Tied to Dock
Built for Submarines

The North German Lloyd steamship
Willehad, which took refuge in Boston
soon after the beginning of the war,
was taken to New London on August
25 last under command of Captain
Jaehens, and was tied up at the pier
of the Eastern Forwarding Company,
the American agent for the German
submarine merchantmen. The Willie
had was said to carry full crew of
German sailors.
The steamship Koln, also owned by
the North German Lloyd, reached Bos-
ton from Bremen on August IL, 1914,
after eluding British cruisers in the
Atlantic. The Koln is still tied up at
Boston.
The Willehad was taken to a pre-
pared dock on which the Eastern For
warding Company, after the arrival OF
the submersible Deutschland at Bal

by 25 feet wide, with tie end of the
pier inclosed by high fence Joined
to the company Offices. Captain
Hinsch, former master of the North
German Lloyd liner Neckar. was
brought from Baltimore and placed in
charge Of the property.
The Willehad now is made fast to
cluster piling fifty feet away from the
dock, her stern hard against the bank
of the Thames River. Her wireless is
sealed.
The space between the ship and the
dock is intended for the expected
Bremen or other submarines. To shut
out possible view or interruption in
loading the merchant submarines a
floating gate, 80 feet high, has been
constructed and made fast to the pill.
ing at the bow of the Willehad. 1t
is so designed that when the gate is
shut the submarine space between the
ship and the dock is completely
closed in.
The piling under the pier. as we'll as

made fast, is said to have been wired
