Recent events make the conclusion
Inevitable that it is only one instance,
even though it be one of the most ex-
treme and distressing instances, of the
spirit and method of warfare which
the Imperial German Government has
mistakenly adopted, and which from
the first expose that government to the
reproach of thrusting all neutral right
aside in pursuit of its immediate OBJ
jects.
"The government Of the United
States has veen very patient. At
every stage Of this distressing expert
ence Of tragedy after tragedy in which
its own citizens were involved II has
sought to be restrained from any ex.
treme course Of action or of protest by
a thoughtful consideration Of the
extraordinary circumstances Of this
unprecedented war, and actuated in all
that 1t said or did by the sentiments
OF genuine friendship which the people
Of the United States have always en-
tertained and continue to entertain to-
wards the German nation.

cessive explanations and assurances Of
the Imperial German Government as
given in entire sincerity and good faith
and has hoped, even against hope, that
II would prove to be possible for the
German government so to order and
control the acts OF It's naval command

principles Of humanity as embodied in
the law Of nations. II has been will.

There was no questioning the seri-

Gentlemen Of the Congress: A
situation has arisen in the foreign re-
Iations OF the country OF which Il is
my plain duty to inform you very
frankly.
1T will be recalled that IN February,
1915. the Imperial German Government
announced its intention to treat the
waters surrounding Great Britain and
ireland as embraced within the seat Of
war and TO destroy all merchant ships
owned by lis enemies that might be
found within any part OF that portion
Of the hiCh seas, and that It warned

But One Interpretation.

THAT point has now unhappily been
reached. The facts are susceptible of
but one Interpretation. The Imperial
German Government has been unable
to put any limits or restraints upon its
warfare against either freight or pas
senger ships. It has therefore become
painfully evident that the position
which this government took at the
very outset is inevitable, namely, that
the use of submarines for the destruc-
tion Of an enemy's commerce is Of
necessity, because Of the very charac.
ter Of the vessels employed and the very
methods Of attack which their employ
ment, Of course, involves, are incom.
patlble with the principles of human
ity, the long-established and incontro-
Yertlble rights OF neutrals and the
sacred immunities OF non-combatants.
Il have deemed II my duty, there.
fore, to say to the Imperial German
Government that If It is still its pur.
pose to prosecute relentless and indis-
crlminate warfare against vessels Of
commerce by the use Of submarines,
Notwithstanding the now demonstrated
impossibility Of conducting that war
fare in accordance with what the gov
ernment Of the United States must con-
slider the sacred and indisputable rules
Of International law and the universal
ly recognized dictates Of humanity, the
government Of the United States is at
last forced to the conclusion that there
is but one course It can pursue, and
that unless the Imperial German Gov
ernment should now Immediately de-
clare and effect an abandonment Of It's
present methods Of warfare against
passenger and freight carrying vessels
this government can have no choice
but to sever diplomatic relations with
the government OF the German EN-
plre altogether.

SLUGGEDIAT night
HURON MAN FOUND UNCON-
SCIOUS by PATROIMAN.

Huron, Oct. 11.-With his left ear
badly cut and one side OF his face
lacerated and swollen, a man giving
his name as Jack Lorraine was found
near the Royal hotel this morning by
Patrolman John Tobin. He was
taken to police headquarters. where
DR.. Tschetter. of the Sprague hos
pital, dressed the wounds. While
the injury Is painful it is not serious
and Lorraine will probably be about
again
When questioned by the officers
this morning Lorraine could neither
give a reason why he had been hit
nor tell who or what hit him. From
the looks of his face the man must
have been slugged with some heavy
instrument and knocked unconscious.
How long he had been suffering from
his wounds before he was found is
not known.
Lorraine had no money or other
valuables on his person when picked
up and does not seem TO recollect
whether he had any or not before
being hit.

LEGAL OPINIONS


Pierre, Oct. 11.-Inquiries are
coming to the secretary of state from
county auditors as to whether or not
they are required to follow the same
order of tickets ON the ballot as that
furnished by the secretary of state
and whether or not they are required
to place circles before each name on
the ballot as well as at the head of
the ticket. In answer to this the Sec
rotary says that chapter 1856, laws of
1915, fixes the order of tickets upon
the ballot in the order Of the strength
OF b party vote at the last general
election. which means in this state
the order. republican. democratic,
prohibition and socialist. The same
act also requires a circle at the head
OF the ticket, and also before each
name on the ballot.

Farm Autos Fatal to Little Town of
Nolan.

Freeman. Oct. 1.-THE village of
Nolan, at n time a thriving village
OF Hutchinson county. gradually Is
disappearing because the farmers of
the surrounding region have largely
purchased automobiles and now pre-
fer to go to larger towns for their
supplies. The latest stroke of bad
fortune for Nolan was the closing of
the only general store there, which
had been in business since pioneer
days. With Freeman as a competitor
of the village on the north, Memo to
the west and yiborg on the south,
and practically every farmer the
owner of an automobile, the pace has
been too swift for Nolan.

OPINION IN ACCIDENT CASE by

Pierre, Oct. 11.-That accident in

included i'm a possible temptation TO
possible personal injury in case of
over Insurance., Is a part of the hold
ing of the supreme court in its re-
versal of the lower court of Lawrence
county, in the case of Alice Dustin
VS.. the Interstate Business Mems In
surance company. In this case suit
was brought for $4,000 against the
Interstate company TO collect on a
policy held by DR.. Dustin at the time
of his death in an automobile acct
dent.
The Interstate policy carried a
clause which provided that in case of
other insurance, Of which the com
pany was not given written notice at
least fifteen days prior to an acct
dent on which a claim was made, the
company would pay its pro rata share
of the amount of the policy based on
all insurance carried. The Interstate
policy for $4,000 was taken out in
July, 1913, and on September Is of
the same year a policy of $4,000 was
taken out In the Chicago Business
Mems Accident association. On Sep
TENDER 81 of that year Dustin was
killed in an auto accident, and the
Interstate company paid $4,000, and
refused to pay the balance under the
provision Of the clause, based on
claim of no notice. Suit was brought
and judgment secured in the lower
court, but reversed by the supreme
court.
