Ignorance Of Insurance
Law Causes Financial Loss

A great loss to those having insur.
ance in the Bangs block fire at Devils
Lake Saturday night was sustained
through misunderstanding of the in.
surance laws by the insured. At least
$4,000, in my opinion, could have been
saved for the insured If they had wish.
ed and had known that all goods say.
ed from fire amounting to the differ.
ence between the amount of insurance
and the value Of the goods before the
fire is theirs. For instance: If the
Jacobson Shoe store had $4,000
stock and was insured for $1,000, their
loss is $4,000. Had they removed So,
900 or more of the shoes they would
have had no loss, for they would get
the $4,000 worth of shoes and the ST.,
900 insurance. If more than $4,000
were saved of course the insurance
company would get all above $4,000
and it is expected by all insurance
companies that the insured will do
everything in his power to save all the
goods possible. The fact that not a
dollars worth of goods was saved Sat
urday night will not help reduce insur-
ance rates in Devils Lake.
The fire department did great work
and is only deserving of the highest
praise. With addition of the big new
reservoir In a few days all danger of
water shortage will be removed, and
Devils Lakes fire protection will be
the very best that is possible to OBJ
tain, but the salvage of goods at fires
is an important item in keeping down
the fire losses and should be looked
after in the future.

Friends Remembered Their
Silver Wedding Anniversary

Hastings Times: Thursday, Nov,
9, 1916, is a date that will long be re-
membered by Mr.. and Mrs. Olaf Selbo
who live eight miles north of Hastings
1t was the tWenty-fifth anniversary OF
their marriage, but they had made no
plans to celebrate the occasion by any
special demonstration. But all I'm.
awares Is automobiles and four teams
drove into the yard that evening and
a host of neighbors and friends took
the peaceful Selbo home by storm
Mrs. Selbo was at the Oscar Holberg
home taking care Of the twins. Mr..
Holberg made an excuse to 60 over to
Selbo's and Mrs. Selbo went along to
see how things were at home. Imagine
her surprise when she walked into her
home and found it in the hands of
such a crowd. Conrad Selbo had re-
turned the same day from trip to
St. Paul, just in time to be captured
with the rest of the family. They all
surrendered with good grace and a
merry time was had. Rev. E. O. Holen
was present and addressed the gather
ing with few well chosen words. A
set of SO pieces of silverware was pre-
scented to the worthy couple, as q
token Of the esteem in which they are
held. A basket lunch, furnished by
the invaders, added to the feeling OF
good will, and when the friends depart
ed, everyone had the feeling that it
was good to meet together thus
Among the friends were the following
from Valley City: Bonnie, Christ and
Ed Nordgaard, Nils Holberg, P. o. Lul
Wig and Miss Nora Olson. The Times
wishes Mr.. and Mrs. Selbo many more
happy years.

u. S. NOTE CALLED
ROUTINE PROTEST
Berlin Foreign Office So Consid.
cred Lusitania Memorandum.

The imperial German government did
not believe that President Wilson's
warning that he would hold Germany
to Q strict accountability for American
lives lost meant more than a routine
protest against the German war zone
decree Of February. 1916; otherwise the
Lusitania never would have been sunk.
This authoritative explanation was
made here today by one who IL in close
touch with the Berlin foreign office.
The first and most important reason
winch led the Berlin foreign office to
feel that the Presidents protest TON
templated no action, II Is explained.
WAS the refusal OF the United States
to oppose effectively the establishing mt
OF the so-called British war zone In
November, 1914. Berlin rewarded this and
the resulting blockade as Illegal ana a
Ilagrant violation of American and 9TH
er neutral rights
Germany waited four months to see
IL the United States would insists upon
II rights, but nothing was DONE" II was
explained today. Therefore In Feb
rG.,ry Germany was Obliged to take its
illegal blockade
The American objection" TO the Ger
man war zone decree was regarded In
Berlin as comparable to the American
attitude against the British blockade.
II was felt that President Wilson want
ed TO place himself on record as ,oppos-
iny each, but IL was not believed that
&C meant what he said In his strict
accountability" message to Germany.
: Up TO May, 1915, according TO the
German view, Il was expected that
some action would be forthcoming from
Washington that would eliminate the
peril to American and neutral lives on
British ships. The advertisements In
ire American newspapers prior to the
I.usitanla's departure were ordered by
tho imperial government. which fully
instructed Count Won Bernstorff as To
ri particulars. They were inserted, II
: explained, in the hope that some pos
tive action to protect the American
passengers would result.
