POOR HUBBIES!-THEY HAVE AN
AWFUL TIME IN LIFE

AWFUL TIME IN LIFE
Twas husbands day in the do
nestle court and tales that were told
by men would make you weep from
a heart of stone and weep and weep
again. For all the things that hus-
bands endure at the hands of wicked
wives are surely enough to kill a cat
with all of its tabled lives.
There was Ben Hanwich, who is
just a lad of 20 years or more, kid
naped one day, six months ago. Gee,
but it made him sore! For he says
he was full when the lady wOOed and
he hadn't a thing to say. She got
the license and everything and mar
Tied him right away.
OF course, it is true that the lady
said he never gave her a cent, but
made her come through with all she
earned and that was what he spent.
That three hundred bOnes-simO-
Icons green, bucks-the lady said,
she gave him to put in a clothing
store, but he fed the chickens in
stead.
And the cruel day when he went
away and left her in despair, he took
the last of the dough she had and
the cupboard it was bare. And
though she says he has changed his
plans and gone to work again, he
won't come across with a single cent
in spite of her sad refrain.
But, of course, Ben explained
there was none of this true, and his
mamma voUched the same, and
they've filed a suit in the circuit
court to get Ben back again and the
marriage annulled, for he's under
age-he shouldn't have been stolen

'Deemer, Of Red Oak, Iowa, chief jus
tice Of the Iowa supreme court. before
fifty members of the Sioux City Bar
Association, at banquet at the Martin
hotel expressed the belief that the
United States will not become involved
in war. There are greater things to
be accomplished in attempting to es-
tablish international law and to bring
about peace among the European coun-
tries, he said rs
international law is shot to pieces.
Treaties now are mere scraps of paper.
International law has been violated by

the jurist. 1.-The United States should

Starvation to Decide It.
Justice Deemer declared that the Eu-

and exhaustion, which is not likely to
come within another year. He said it
should be insisted upon that the Darda-
nelles be opened to the Russians; that
Belgium be given to the Belgians; that

that Poland be set free, and that the
Turks be driven from Europe. II

PLAY AT WAR WHILE GUNS ROAR
Schools of Instruction Hold in Roar Of
Battle Lines.

Correspondence of Associated Press
On the British Front, Flanders, April
1.-THE spectacle of officers and SOL
diers playing at war within gunshot Of
operations which form part of the
greatest conflict in history might seem
to be an unusual sight, and yet this is
actually taking place daily back Of the
British lines. A correspondent Of the
Associated Press visited two schools of
instruction where men, already trained
in the art of warfare. were seriously
conducting mimic battles for expert
mental purposes within sound Of the
big guns which were causing death
and destruction towards the front
One Of these schools was for the
training of Shippers. The men in this
school are not brought together to
learn sharpshooting. for they are all
experts. Their business is to become
familiar with methods of concealinE
trench loopholes so that the Germans
can not see them and to learn to dis
|tinguish loopholes along the German
lines.
At one point line of trenches was
laid out just as though ready for
battle. Thru the top OF the trenches
facing imaginary German lines were
scores of loopholes of every size and
description, each one concealed in
different way. Unique methods had
been adopted in many cases to render
these holes invisible to the German
eve and so we'll had they succeeded
that an officer going along in front Of
the trench, explaining the system.
often had to search for some time be-
fore he could find the openings.
At this school any new ideas per-
tanning to this method Of warfare are
experimental with and each man
learns numerous ways Of protecting
himself from the German fire. This Is
considered a most important matter
for the discovery by an opponent
sharpshooter Of a loophole thru which
a man is firing means almost sure
death to the latter.
At another point a group OF men
were firing from behind sand bags at
imaginary German loopholes a con-
siderable distance away. Openings or
various kinds were displayed across
the field and at these apertures an
occasional dummy head would appear
to be shot away instantly by the alert
snipers.
When a man has perfected himself
in the art of sniping he is sent along
to the front line trenches or wherever
needed Not all snipers go thru snip
ing schools but all receive the benefit
of the instruction given in them.
The second school was one for ex-
nerimenting in the building OF
trenches. Here all sorts of ideas re-
lating to the construction OF trenches
are put into effect. as any man VINO
has a scheme for improving trench
can have his plan executed. Trenches
Of al! description are carefully laid out
dugouts are built and machine gun
positions are constructed. Wire en-
tanglements Of different varieties also
are experimental with to discover
which is the most effective.
