Activities of America.

america has objected to the German
submar rine policy, while they say she
has permitted Great Britain to develop
new methods of blockade by the eXer-
else of sea power. On the other hand,
Great Britain and her allies have been
permitted to draw unlimited supplies
of munitions from America, including
submarines sent to Canada liz parts.
They have been enabled to float loan
on the American market and have been
generally regarded as friends. while the
central powers have been looked upon
as enemies.
America has put up with all the ir-
ritation arising from British inter-
ference with commerce, and with the

Some of His Troubles.

First, there are the great German
bankers and their friends in industry.
They are against him because they con-
slider that he is too pro-ally. Then there
are the other financial houses and moneyed
interests who are against him ostensibly
on the ground that he is not pro-ally
enough, but really because his domestic
policy is against the interests OF the
wealthy classes.
''AIr Wilson is the standard bearer Of
great movement. The mass of sane
public opinion of the United States and
the mass of thinking people. who are now
silent. are supporting his policy, but most
of the influential American newspapers
which happen to be read in England are
against him. Some of them, who are
against him becsause they stand for Ger
tain interests, put their attacks on the
ground that he has not shown some par
liality toward the allies. Others attack
him more particularly because he is not
in favor of bigger military program

Attitude of America.

Our censorship of American news
has been tolerated even when it was
no less than indefensible. This trend
of American opinion has been gradual
and progressive. 1t has kept pace
with the ever-1engthening series of
German atrocities in the war: it has
been hardened by the duplicities of
German diplomacy; it has been embit-
tered by the disloyal and provocative
activity of a section of German Amer
leans who have been the accompllces
of the German and Austrian embas-
sizes in committing outrages, creating
riots and almost instigating civil war
in America.

ECLIPSE THIS MORNING
SOME MADISONITES HELD vigil.
WHILE MOON Is PARTIAL
IY OBSCTRED.

Many today gave credit for the
pronounced change for the better in
weather conditions TO the partial
eclipse of the moon, shortly before ,
O'Clock this morning.
Persons who last night set their
alarm clocks for 1880 o'clock this
morning are authority for the state
ment that the eclipse was plainly Wis
ible here. They claim that about one
third of the moon, oil the east side"
was obscure for more than an hour.
A peculiar coincident, it is said,
that during the eclipse, the moon
changed from quarter to full moon.
1t is said that because of the change
in the moo and the clear skies, the
phenomenon could scarcely have
come at a more opportune time, from
an observers point Of view. Part of
the moon was ~obliberated for more
than an hour, it is said.
A total eclipse of the sun, the first
for a number of years, which will be
visible here, will occur two weeks
from today, February 3.

ularly beneficial TO the railways.
Freight service. which had been more

that most freight trains will be de-
layed on their routes for a day or
two.

STATE VETERINARIANS SELECT
MADISON-DR. II. \. HART
WITCH IL NEW PRESIDENT.

Madison is going to get the next
convention of the South Dakota Vet
Urinary Medical association. Word
that the members of the association,
at their meeting which closed in
Sioux Falls yesterday. had voted 10
reconyenc here in July a brought
TO the city yesterday afternoon by Or.
II. A. Hartwich, of this city.
Or. Hartwich was elected president
and il appears that he will have the
distinction Of being the first man 10
preside over three consecutive asso-
citation conventions in the sixteen
years that body has been in exist
ence.
Until last July. when ii was decid-
ed to hold conventions every six
months, the association went into SEES
sion only once a year. 1t always has
been the custom for the presiding of
ficer to serve a single year, the vice
president at the end of each term sue
ceeding to the presidency. Owing 10
the fact that DR.. b. II. Sayer, of
Brookings, who was the last presi-
dent, was unable 10 attend the meet
ing, DR.. Hartwich, as vice president,
presided. Now as president he is ex-
rected to occupy the chair at the next
convention here. which will be on the
second Tuesday and Wednesday in
July. and at the meeting next Jan
uary.
DR.. Hartwich told that the Sioux
Falls convention was a lively one,
and he predicted that most of the
sixty-five members Of the association
would be present at the coming meet
ing here.
Besides the president. officers
were elected as follows:
First vice president, DR.. O. w.
Stanley, of Sioux Falls.
Second vice president, DR.. n. j.
Mayer, Of Mitchell.
Secretary-treasurer. DR.. S. w. Al
len, of Watertown.

MADISON LOSES GAME
But ALL WHO ATTENDED BAS-
kET BALL GAME GOT
MONEYS WORTH.

Although losing its first scheduled
game last night, the State Normal
school basket ball team proved to the
large number of spectators present
that they are real athletes, and that
when in good form are going to give
good accounts of themselves. The
Glendale Normal quintet, their OPP
ponents in last nights contest, put
up a highly commendable game, but
to those on the "sidelines" ii did not
appear that their individual play was
in any way superior to that Of the
local athletes. The visitors also had
the advantage of having been pre-
viously under fire this season.
That neither team habitually looks
on while its opponents run up a huge
margin to their credit is indicated
by the score of 10 to Z.
BY most of those who witnessed
the game, Mcleod was the star of the
South Dakota aggregation. He scored
two field goals and a foul. Boards
ley landed a field goal.

OPTOMETRIST TAKES QUARTERS
IN Gun HANSON'S STORE
SEVERAL INNOVATIONS.

As a result of the opening here of
a branch by j.. II. Bechtold, OPTIC
metrist, of Sioux Falls, it is now pos
sible for residents of Madison and
district to have their eyes tested and
glasses ground and fitted almost
while they wait"
The new institution is located in
the jewelry store of Guy Hanson, and
is more deliberately equipped for the
testing of eyes and the grinding of
lenses than is the average optomet-
rist's establishment in cities of ten
times M%adison's population. 1t is
under the direction of j. Yeager, who
has been awarded state optometrist's
certificates by Minnesota. Florida
and South Dakota.
Besides a large, new stock of OPP
teal goods, Mr.. Yeager has installed
seven highly modern instruments for
eye testing, lens grinding and shap-
ing, and for the altering of spec
tacles. Glasses suited for any vision
car be turned out a few hours after
application for them is made. One
of the ~specialties of the institution
will be the replacing of broken lenses.
TO obtain an exact duplicate of a
broken glass. it is only necessary 10
take the broken pieces to Mr.. Yea
ger.
A departure in optometrist's equip
ment is an instrument which dis
closes defects in eyes which cannot
be directly remedied by the use of
GLASSES.
