babes, and women for the least
offence are placed on the pubic
streets here to work when they
are charged with crime and hav-

Plan to Cut Custer
Into Three Counties

Galloway, Neb., July l6.-(Special.)
The division Of Custer county is
again being strongly advocated and
new lines have been adopted. Under
the new lines Custer county will be
cut into three counties. The north
east corner takes in the Sargent
branch of the Burlington railroad and
embraces the towns OF Comstock,
Sargent and West Union. The south
west corner starts at a point some
seven miles north of Arnold and zig
zags to a point just east Of Lomax.
This takes in the K. & B. H. branch
of the Union Pacific and embraces
the towns of Arnold, Finchville, Mill
dale, Galloway, Lodi, Oconto and Lo-
max. Between these proposed new
counties lies Custer county and runs
diagonal along the Burlington rail-
road from the southeast to the north
west corner Of the present county,
embracing the towns of Mason City,
Ansley, Berwyn, Broken Bow, Merna
and Anselmo. The proposed new
county in the northeast portion will
be known as Abe county, while that
in the southwest portion will be
known as Arbor county. The new
lines will give railroad accommoda-
tions, no matter where the new county
seats are located.

Little Attention
Paid to Note on
Seizure of Mail

(correspondence OF The Associated Press
London, July 4.-Surprisingly little
attention has been given in this coun-
try to the American note on seizure
of the mails. When published IN
America only brief and rather. exag-
! gerated summaries were sent by the
British correspondents. The note was
published in full only by the Times on
June l9, several days after the Ameri-
can papers which printed it had ar
rived in England. On Saturday the
foreign office issued the text as an
official paper for publication on Tues
day, June II. =, :,
Almost the only important editorial
reference to the note is made by the
Economist in its issue OF today. II
points out that owing to lack OF IN
formation the public in this country
has failed to understand the constant
references by President Wilson and
by leading newspapers in the United
States to the question of Freedom oi
the Seas"
After quoting a large part OF the
note the Economist says:
at will be seen that good deal Of
feeling has been evinced, and that
great care and discrimination are re-
auired in order not only to meet the
suseptibilities of friendly neutrals
but also to avoid the establishment o
precedents which, under different cir
cumstances, we should not tolerate
ourselves as neutrals in a future nava
war. Supposing, for example, there
were a war between Spain ant
Sweden, and the belligerents claimed
the right to intercept mails between
London and Paris or London ant
New York, and to open all private
letters, would that passl The sum
ming-up of the note is very strong. II
declares that the rights Of neutrals are
as sacred as the rights of belligerents
and must be as strictly observed, ant
concludes: Only a radical change ir

restoring to the United States its ful
rights as a neutral power, will satisf,

Demand New Infirmary
In Merrick County

Central City, Neb., July l6.-(Spe-
cial)-The County Board of Super
visors are at this time confronted
with a public demand that definite
steps be taken to provide on the
county poor farm home suitable
for the inmates and family of the
keeper. A resolution submitted by
the Child Conservation league of this
city placing the board on record as
favoring the erection of suitable
dwelling with all conveniences has
been rejected. In the form of a COM
promise, however, the county farm
committee has rendered report that
in their judgment it would be to
the best interests of the county if
the present tenant system be aband-
oned, and that Of overseer adopted.
They all favor the idea of the county
stocking the farm as a means of
making it less Of a financial burden.
While the report of the farm COM
mittee is not as definite as the reso-
luton rendered and rejected, it ap-
pears the board thereby reserved the
privilege of assuming the initiative
in the matter of bettering conditions
at the county farm.
