An invitation was extended

Che same was accepted.
Rev. Cobb extended the thanks
of the club to the citizenship of
Dover and vicinity for their un-
surpassed entertainment and to
Rev. Anderson for his hearty
and appreciated welcome.
The audience Joined the choir

which the proceedings were
closed with prayer by Rev. Ken

meet in Lexington on Saturday,
June, 1917.
In addition to the official pro-
ceedings the writer begs to add
that as of yore the entertain
ment and welcome was that of
the same old Dover in the same
old way" and the notable, grace
full and lavish hospitality of the
housewives and maids of that
vicinity was most ably sustain
and in strict accord with the
distinction ever enjoyed by the
residents.
The dinner was served in a
large hall and all who have ever
the hospitality of these
good people know what feasts
they prepare. On this occasion
no want was for the moment
left unsupplied. Various kinds
OF meats were served, ham.
chicken, beef, vegetables in end
less variety, pickles, jellies, hot
rolls, coffee followed by cakes of
too many kinds to name and
genuine pies and pure ice cream,
free of adulteration. In short
everything was as good as il
looked to be. Then the serving
was taultless and the army of
fair walters was ever present in
slsting that we try this or that.
The entertainment was ele-
CANT, bounteous and SYMPTOMS
and 1t is needless to say that the
old veterans royalty enjoyed the
good things prepared for them.
The musical programme was
most enjoyable, the song owe
so Use to YOU" faultless-
ly rendered by Mrs. w. B. Har-
wood, in particular being greatly
appreciated by all present.
All in all it was a joyous,
happy occasion, and we here now
serve notice that we shall
come back" WV

the Christian church in st.
Charles, Mo-, when a young man.
He came to the Odessa neigh
borhood about 40 years ago, and
lived on a farm where the town
of Odessa is located. 10 years
ago he came from Odessa to
Mayview, where he lived to the
time of his death. He was the
ruling Elder of his church. He
was called grandpa or uncle
Charlie by everyone. He al
ways had a pleasant word for
all. He loved to tell harmless
jokes and was always in a rem
iniscent mood and if he could not
say a good word for anyone, he
kept still. He was always hap
piest when he could attend his
church and attend the commun-
ion services. He lived a faith
full christian life. Grandpa" is
dead, though this is but to say
he has entered into life. We
sorrow at his passing from home
and church, but we thank God
that we had him with us so
long. The funeral sermon was
preached by Elder F. M. Rico,
Of Bunceton, Mo-, March %,
1916, at II o'clock in the Chris
tan church after which his
body was taken to Odessa and
laid away to rest in its beauti-
full cemetery beside his wife to
await the Judgment Day.

and physical strain the prospect
proves too much; they grasp at an OPP
portunity of escape. In another in
stance the deserted attributes his act
to bad treatment on the part of the
officers, the sort of thing to which
German socialist deputies have re-
Gently been drawing attention. One
Ceserter has related hat he was one
of a family of five brothers, Of whom
all but he had been killed or wounded
and, urged thereto by his family he
mad taken flight. One young officer
was wounded and invalided home, and
when the order to return reached him
is so preyed on his mind and nerves
that he deserted. Occasionally q
French-speaking native of German AL
sace-Lorraine makes a dash for free
dom, and in some instances goes from
here to join the French army.
Desertion is as dangerous, perhaps.
if not more dangerous in most cases
than service in the trenches. Some
men have arrived on Dutch soil by
swimming across the River Scheldt
from the Belgian to the Dutch bank.
Not seldom would-be deserters have
been caught, and there can be little
doubt of thGI- fate for those acquaint-
ed with milIt4cy discipline
For some time the agitation in
favor of Iberating German deserters
actually informed at Bergen in North
Holland had no result. Its promoters
enlarged on the mental tortue which
these men were suffering, with the
prospect before them of possible ex-
tradition and execution, added to the
ordinary discomforts of internment.
Then finally the matter was brought
up in the Dutch Parliament, and
elected the declaration from the War
Minister that those who could show
they were really deserters would not
be delivered up with the others when
peace came.
Petitians on the subject still con-
tinue, however, the latest setting forth
that this interment is not in accord
with strict neutrality, in that every
action which is not prescribed by law
or treaty and which has the appear
ance of covert Intervention in behalf
of a belligerent nation is not neutral.
and further because deserter is only
answerable to and punishable by his
own military authority"
Such a recent petition-which men
toned incidentally that means were
promised for eventual emigration to
America-Was signed by some thous-
ands of Dutch citizens, including a
number of fairly prominent people,
but it is still very doubtful whether
the War Office viii change its mind on
the matter once it has been made up.

NEEDS AN EXPLANATION,

When Germany promises this coun-
try that it will not sink liners with
out warning and proper provision for
the safety of those aboard, and then
turns around and intimates that there
will be new submarine campaign
opened shortly in which armed mer-
chantmen, even though their guns are
for defense purposes only, will be
treated as warships, there can be no
surprise that this country insists up
on knowing more about this campaign
and how Germany intends to treat it's
former promises
The contradictory situation needs to
be cleared up, for until it is and it is
known just how much the promises
made following the Arabic case
amounts to no further progress can
be made in the Lusitania case even
though it has reached the stage where
both sides are apparently in agree
ment.
It will not take Germany long to let
1t be known, if it is willing to, just
what it plans to do and whether it
considers that past promises are swept
away by the new orders which have
been or are to be issued. 1t is posi-
BILE that it may intend to live up to
its pledges, in which case it can have
no objection to showing its hand, but
Il is important to know how it is 60
ing to sink vessels which are carry
ing no more guns than they have a
right to under International law, as
auxiliary cruisers, and at the same
time give warning and protection to
the unresisting liners.
The importance of clearing up this
uncertainty before the settlement is
made in the long drawn-out Lusitania
case can be appreciated. This coun-
try must rot be hoodwinked into any
deal which will close that incident only
to have one in equally as bad if not
worse form appear on the horizon.

Stories of the War
Deserters In Holland,


The question whether a deserter who
enters a neutral country in wartime
should be interned, and if so, wheth-
er he should be extradited with his
ordinary informed fellOw-soldiers at
the end of the war-that is to say, in
most cases delivered up to certain
death-are aspects of the deserter
problem that have been raised in acute
form in Holland.
However good the general spirit in
the German army, German deserters
have been slipping over the Dutch
border, especially that adjoining Bel
GUM, every now and then ever since
the first two or three months of war;
and although many of them either
manage to get hold of civilian clothes
beforehand, or secure them on this
side of the frontier in which case they
usually escape arrest. there are at
present between thirty and forty Ger
this country, a number of whom have
been in that position for many months.
During the great Ypres offensive of
the Germans in an early stage of the
war, when their losses were so heavy,
the number of deserters were reported
to be very considerable. Since then
such arrivals have been less frequent
but they still continue. The causes
that lead to desertion are many and
varied. In one case the horror of the
trench warfare and slaughter so grips
a man that he takes the desperate
step. Perhaps a regiment sent back
for rest and recuperation after such
an experience receives the order to re-
turn to the fighting line, and for some
OF the men suffering from the moral

MURDERERs AT LOW COST.

Occasional reference is made in
melodramatic situations to the num-
Der who can be found to undertake
most any kind of job no matter how
dirty or how serious provided the cash
incentive is forthcoming, but little
idea can be had of the small price
which is necessary in order to turn
the trick even when murder is in
cluded in the bargain
Some light is thrown upon this, how
ever, by the revelations which are be-
ing made in the Baff murder case af-
ter a long and persistent endeavor to
locate the guilty parties. This New
Yorker had aroused the enmity of
others engaged in his line of business
and 1t was determined that he should
be put out of the way and confessions
which have been obtained show that
the deed was accomplished by the ex-
penditure of $4,000, of which amount
those who actually fired the shots re-
ceived but $3.50 and 800. The larger
amounts went to those who laid the
plans and hired the gunner. Amazing
