Both Senators Sterling and
johnson are listed among those fa-
voring an act of congress prohibit
ing American citizens travelling on
merchant vessels of any belligerent
country. AS an act of personal
precaution it might be wise for
Americans to observe this rule, but
for the government to make such q
declaration would be a surrender of
neutral rights that have already
been recognized by both Germany
and Austria, and would be an act
OF cowardice on our part. If an
arsaea desperate should take pos
session of the streets. of a city and
threaten to shoot any person who
appeared in sight, it might be wise
for citizens to keep under cover.
But it the city council should meet
and declare the streets legally in
possession of the desperate and
prohibit citizens from using them
it would be an act of cowardice.
The duty of the city authorities
would be to arrest the desperate
and restore the rights of the public.

Nd, COUNTY, s D. THURSDAY JANUARY 20 1els

The Merchants Trade Journal,
published at Des Moines Iowa, has
started movement that seems to
be arousing considerable enthusi-
asm throughout the country. It's
for National Pay Up Week to be
held from February 81 to 26, 1916.
The plan is to make it universal
movement all over the country and
induce everyone during that week
to pay what he owes. 1t every one
would pay everyone else what he
owes, it would be comparatively
easy for everyone to square ac-
counts and start IN with clean
balance sheet. The practice of
having an annual pay up week has
been worked successfully in many
towns, but by making ii univer-
sal movement il will be much more
effective. It is impossible for q
merchant to sell goods at a close
margin of profit if he must wait in.
definitely for his pay. One mer-
chant in Scotland informs US that
when he balanced his books the
first of January he found $14, 900
outstanding. 1t is unreasonable to
ask a merchant to carry such q
load, and if everyone would pay up
1t would be easy for all.

Petrograd, March 22.-Capture of

Vienna, March 22.-Russian troops

After six months of brave defense
the bridge and Notifications northwest

been changed into heap of ruins by
the Russians artillery.
THE Russians had already succeed
ed in blasting a breach 800 yards wide
in the bridge, nevertheless our sol
diers, who were outnumbered eight
to one, succeeded in withstanding the
Russian attacks for seven hours in
spite of all losses and the violent artil-

Small detachments, carrying their

reaching the south bank of the Dneis-
ter in boats (Uscieczko, being On the
north bank), but the artillery fire of
tie enemy was then concentrated on
the stream and it was impossible for
any more boats to cross.
THE emperor's dragons and sap
pers, refusing to surrender, decided to
fight their way from their fortifica-
lions through the town of Uscieczko,
which was strongly held by Russians,
and join other Austro-Hungarian
forces on the heights north of Ia

enemy's lines succeeded. Under the

been estimated that the artesian
wells OF the state waste about a
hundred billion gallons of water each
year IN useless ponds, yet this enor-
nous amount of water does not affect
the humidity. He says:
"A little investigation will show
how futile this very desirable result
really is. The humidity of hot
wind is generally twenty per cent or
less. If it were thirty per cent or
more, 1T would cease to be destruc-

NOTES REVEAL BETRAYAL.
OF TROOPS AT CARI,IZAL.

washington, ID. C.-Secretary of
War Newton d. Baker received from
General John j. Pershing yesterday
a dispatch giving the contents OF
three notes, copies of which were
found on the body of Captain Charles
II. Boyd, commander of the illfated
American troops at Carrizal.
One was the carbon copy of a note
Captain Boyd sent to General Gomez
at CarriZal stating that his command
wished to pass through the town on
a peaceful mission and asking the
usual military permission.
There was also the original Gomez
reply to this request inviting the
Americans into the town for confer
|ence. Upon these two notes General
Pershing commented: This looks
like treachery''
The third note was the copy of a
message to General Pershing stating
that Captain Boyd intended to push
on to Villa Ahumada This evidence
lends strong support to the state
ments, already made by American
troopers, that the CarriZistas treach-
erously attacked the little party of
-AiSi ledH lIoopS a1lef PERMISSION mad
been granted them to enter Carrl-
zal.
1t is at least evident that Captain
Boyd sought this permission in the
usual way and thereby clearly indi-
Gated that his troops had no inten-
ton OF violating Instructions or en-
deavoring to act independently of the
Mexican military authorities. Both
at the state department and at the
war department the message found
on Captain Boyd's body is regarded
as highly important evidence. Incl
dentally it completely disproves the
statements made by Mexicans that
the American troops endeavored to
attack and take the town of Car
rizal or any part of it.
