 "The financing of the war for an- ether half year is assured. Germany is the only belligerent power which has covered her total war expenditure by longtime loans. That nation of 70000,00 cut of from the outer world should have borne for 29 months the heavy burdens of the war and should now again be offering more than ten billion marks (the third war loan) to the fatherhood signifies cur strength is unbroken, our confidence in fnal victory unshaken and that the German people stand united as one man."

NEGRO KILLED AT INDEX
Killed by an UknOwn Person Satur.
 day Night; No Clue..

Will Hill, colored, of. Index, just across Red River. 10 miles from here, was shot twice on Saturday night at his home and instantly killed.
 It is stated that Hill was approach ing his own house with a sack of bran on his shoulder about s:30 o'clock and just as he reached the chimney at the corner of the house shot fired from a shot gun which brought him down.
 His wife and mother whc. were in the houe at the time, ran out and just as they went through the door, they saw the flash of gun, heard another report, and saw some man run away in the dark.
 Search revealed the prostrate form of Hill with two loads of buck shot in his back and head.
 Hills wife and mother can not give even the faintest description of the party they saw fire the gun and es- cape. It was so dark had not their att tention been attracted to the spot by the flash of the gun. they might not have seen the murderer at all.
 Nothing was developed at the in Guest, so far as made public, which would lead to surmise of the assas sin.
