 There are only two walters and one chef is attached to the restaurant WieIer said that owing to the limited staff of walters. patrons were often kept waiting long time before being served.

Counsel also showed that every person entering the alley way on Congress street did not neces- 6arily enter Wfe1er's place. They said that many of them were actresses en- tering the theatre by the rear. There are two other saloons with exits bor- dering on the a11eyway.
 Liquor Prosecutor A. J. Merritt ask ed Wieler by what authority he sold food stuffs to patrons. Wieler then admitted that he had no hotel or res taurant license. Merritt intimated that women of questionable character were wont to frequent the place.
 It later developed that Wfe1er is not in charge of the restaurant and that it is conducted by Theodore Uten- dorf and wife. The court was at first inclined to order the arrest of Uten- dorf for conducting an eating estab- 1ishTnent without the necessary per init. Utendorf and his wife receive the profits from the sale of foodstuffs in the restaurant, although Wie1er purchasese the food They pay Wieler for the restaurant concession.
 Attorney Hugh I4avery said suffi- cient evidence was not produced to show that any law had been violated, but the court differed in opinion.
 Judge Bartlett said that in his opinion there was no doubt but that the law had been violated by allowing women to Ioiter where they meet strange, men.

Lewis C. Willis, Louis F. Blair and Oscar L. Johnson. This ticket was submitted to the printers and to ad- vertisement today according to party rules without consulting the town chairman or the adninistrationN The men of the Kingston-O'Brien faction mean to show the administration just who is who in the Sixth district. It has been reported to them that the Cunning gham-S -Stowe-Knapp faction has been seeking aid of Republicans in Fifth and Eighth districts which ad- join the Sixth district but they say they intend to fight the, battle out from the vantage ground already gain ed.
 They claim they have taken the club rooms away from the men who now pose as district leaders, that they have most of the real Republican workers enrolled in their club which will soon take over the Republican club rooms and that they expect to beat the old club members two to one.
 Victory for the Kingston-O' Brien faction will mean that they will have the say as to who will be appointed to the police and fire departments from the Sixth district. That the Re publican leaders are deeply concern ed in this disaffection in the Sixth district, which has existed for more than a, year now, is evidenced in the fact that John T. King, the Republi- can leader, is named to head the tic ket from the Second district. At the Republican, town and city convention MT. King intends to be in to see that the delegates stay put.

A battle royal for control in the Sixth district will be fought out at the Republican primaries Thursday night and that the opposition to the administration has thrown down the gage Is evidenced by the fact that the Kingston-O O'B1en faction is advertis- ing it's delegate ticket without submit ting 1t to the formahty of inspection by the town chairman.
 Not that this would have made much difference, for Town Chairman and City Clerk J. Alex. H. Robinson is recognizing only the ticket which bears the endorsement of Deputy Sheriff Thomas Cunningham. This ticket bears the names of Fred H. Daniels, Patrick J. Reilly and John F. Murphy.

MICHIGAN FACES
 FLOOD DANGERS AT MANY POINTS
Melting Snow and Heavy Rains Send Several Riv-
 CTS Out of Banks.

Detroit, Mich, March 2s-Southern Michigan today was menaced by flood conditions which in some sections were the most serious in a dozen years For two days rain coming imm ediate- 1y after a snowfall which averaged nearly 8 foot, sent rivers and creeks out Of their banks all over the state south Of the straits of Mackinaw. The situation in the Saginaw river valley probably was the most danger ous today. Bay City, at the mouth of the river and Saginaw, about 15 miles upstream were threatened with further 1nundastion by the flood waters pouring into the Saginaw from a dozen tributaries.
 At Flint. the Flint river and Thread creek continued to rise and several manufacturing plants were compelled to shut down. The Michigan Central and Detroit & Mackinaw Railroads were unable to run trains north of Bay City, their tracks being washed out in numerous places
 Similar conditions prevailed on the Grand Rapids8Bay City division of the Pere Marquette. on which through traffic was suspended yesterday.
 In Lansing, the Grand River was spreading out and cNppling indus trial plants.
 ' Harrison. one of the highest points in the state, reported streets flooded by the melting snow.
 Washouts have occurred on the Ann Arbor and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroads near Cadillac, in the northwestern part of the state. Traverse City and other cities in the same region were hampered byA lock of wire communication interrupted by last nights wind and sleet storm.
 Streams in and west of Detroit con- tinued at flood tide. No great dam age was reported.

element of the body polite. Any body of our citizens have a perfect right to oppose any man because of @ differ ence of judgment concerning Ameri can problems; but it has no right to deal with American public servants, or American public men on the basis of the interests of some foreign power. The men who so act are disloyaI to the United States. and I say this just as quickly of men trying to serve Eng land or France as I say it of men try ing to serve Germany. I condemn the American citizen who acts as an Eng lish- American just as strongly as I condemn the American citizen who acts as 'German-American.' If France had subjugated Belgium would condemn her just as strongly as I have condemned Germany. If British warcraft had sunk German passenger vessels and taken the lives of hundreds of American men, women and children, as German submarine did in the case of the Lusitania, the Arabic, and other vessels, l would have condemned and now condemn the 'German-American who now de- fend or apologize for the actions of the German submarines. l would con- demn as strongly the actions of any of our people who sought to make this country subservient to England, as I. now condemn those who seek to make it subservient to Germany. Such men are not merely un-American; :; they are ti-American to the core, and unfit to be citizens of this Re- public.
 q believe that the men thus acting not only do not represent but scan dalously misrepresent the great ma jority of real Americans of German origin. I believe that the great mass of Americans of German origin are now, as they have always been, among the most patriotic and loyal citizens in this country.
 Here in this city I could repeat name after name of men of German birth who as American citizens have had distinguished records of intense loyalty to the Union, and of eminent

against the upgrowth of a spirit which means, if successful, division and inn

IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS

Worry never brought any good to anybody. But, you say, Il don't worry because I want to, I worry because I can't help it.' Or, "I worry because have so much to worry about" '~..
 We all have our troubles and worry, of course, makes matters worse. The patient generally recognizes this fact without being able to profit by it.
 The doctor who could meet this ner- vous condition and cure it would be the most popular medical man alive. But he cannot do it because the form of nervous exhaustion known as neuras- thenia, of which worry is characteristic symptom, must be cured by the patient himself. That is why you should write today for the book "Diseases of the Nervous System" and read the chapter on "Neurasthenia. So many people have read it and written back, "This hits my case exactly, I am giving the treatment 8 trial and being benefted," that the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. has had lot of these books printed and will send you copy free on request.

among the most gallant men who served under me, were men of Ger man birth or parentage. They served side by side with men of Irish birth or parentage, and with men of old native American stock; and they all served with equal gallantry and with equal devotion to the flag. Two of my captains were killed at the very outset. One was of old American stock, man whose forbears from father to son had served in the United States army for five genera tions. The other was the son of an Irish immigrant who had himself fought in MeagherS Brigade in the Civil war. Another of my captains was born in Germany. Yet another, who fought under me against Spaln, was of almost pure Spanish descent My orderly was the grandson Of German forty-eighter.' One Of my best first sergeants was born in Nor way Another was born in Italy; and yet another was of Polish percentage. But each of these men was an Amer ican and nothing else. They all act ed together as Americans. l would have driven from the regiment any man who tried to discriminate among them because of a difference in creed, or because of the different lands in which they or their forefathers were born. Their honor was my honor. We had one country. We bore proud al- legiance to one flag.
 "The other day in Detroit. when I spoke for universal service based or universal training, woman ID the gallery called out to me. while she waved an American flag: I have two sons. I offer them if the need comes.' I answered her, If every mother in our country would make the same offer. there would be no need for any mother to send her sons to war Now. from the press of the following day I saw that her name was Mrs. Anna Neuer, wife of MT D. l M. Neuer. Her husband judging, from | the name, must of course be of Ger | man ancestry. Her father fought on l the Union side in the Civil war. Her | two sons are not German Americans any more, than they are English Americans or any other type of hy- phenated American. They are Amer jeans. That is an American family

 tors came; and that is the simple and

 "It is entirely proper to feel an intimate sympathy with the art and literature of the land with which by blood or tradition we have close ties; and I sympathize equally with the man who has such a feeling for Mil ton and Shakespeare and with the man who has the feeling for Goethe and the Nibelungenlied. I admire all four myself, but l very strongly feel that our prime duty, even in literature and art is, to develop our own American schools and traditions, that is, to de- velop our own distinctive American culture.
 When our nation was formed at the stress of the Revolution, it was under, the lead of men of many different race strains; English, Dutch, German, Irish, French. But they were all Americans and nothing else Their loyalty to this country was whole-hearted and undivided and they sought to serve only the United States and not any of the countries from which their ancestors had come.
 "The same rule applies today. Throughout my life my closest per- sonal and political friends have in- cluded men who were themselves born in, or whose ancestors were born in, Germany, Ireland or Scandinavia, just as they included men who were of old Colonial American stock. The man who, for the ten years when I was governor, vice president and pres ident, was closest to me, was a man whose father and mother were born in Germany-and his father served in the Civil War, by the way. He and I looked at all problems, na- tiona1 and International, from the standpoint, and only from the stand point, of our common Americanism. The man who, when I was police commissioner in New York, was clos est to me was born in Denmark. He is dead now. His name was Jacob Rlls. He was one of the best Amer jeans I have ever known. Again and again have held up his career as model for our American boys to fol- low. One of the best Americans I Know, man who has done better work for the navy than any ono else during the last two years, is by birth a SWede. During my scientific work in Africa and South America, at the
 head of American scientific expedi- tions' the American members of my party included the man with whom I
 have been most closely associated in
 Geological work, and who was joint
 author with me of the zoological book
 of which am most proud His par
 ents were born in Germany; his kin- ! folk fought in the Union army. An i other of my American companions. an 1 Iowa man, was born of an Irish father
 who fought in the Civil War. An
