Father Pleaded Guilty to Incest and
Was ParOled

George T. Price who entered a plea
Of not guilty when arraigned on q
charge Of incest, changed his plea to
that of guilty of assault with an at
tempt to commit rape, the victim be-
ing his sixteen-year-old daughter. He
was sentenced to serve 3 1-2' years in
the state penitentiary, but on account
of his failing health and the fact that
he has a family depending upon him
for support, the man was paroled. .
Price is a coal HEAVIER so years old
and apparently is not very bright.
He was tried before on a similar
charge and found not guilty, the
daughter refusing to testify when the
case came to trial.

Lambert Given s271 Verdict.

Attorney F. B. Lambert, who brot
suit in district court for $4,000, grow
ing out of the purchase Of Mitchell
car some years ago, was awarded $271
damages, or just half the amount of
the money he has expended for re-
pairs for the machine since he has
owned it. 1t appears that he bought
the car for S1400, giving a farm and
a note to that value. He wasn't very
successful in running the car. and
spent almost as much money fixing it
as new car would have cost. He
still has the car but says he has never
been able to run it for a longer dis
lance that fifteen miles without a
break down.
The case was not without it humor-
GUS features, the cross examination
being better than many Of the. best
vaudeville stunts pulled off in this

to make sure the means by which they could count on them when the hour struck for conquest by force of arms. Undoubtedly German emigrants have always kept in their hearts the cult of :he Fatherland. But this was not enough; the emigrants of the Father
 land must still think that they were legally Germans. The means for this were simple namely by permitting them all to remain Germans and to enjoy the prerogatives of German eiti-
 zens, altho becoming na:uralized in other countries. Non Liebert was the first to demand that for this purpose the law of 1876 relating 10 the loss of nationality should be changed. On the second of July, 1913, the law called, the Delbruck law was passed. The pre-

The following interesting extract from an article written by Edgardo de Magalhaes under the heading of Ger rnany and South America" appears in the January Number of the Nine teenth Century and After"
 German only began to organize her action in South America in 1900. It was about 1898, after the Spanish American War, when the European nations bowed down before the Monroe doctrine. that Germany began to think seriously of establishing herself in South America. Her pacific organiza- tioa reached its last stage with the promulgation of :he Debruck Law in July 1913.

This tex. being completly in discord with all the laws of intentional rigy neutralized German eolonists can only keep their German nationality by tralsgressing the laws of the countries which they inhabt and by not making known their equovoeal position to the State in which they live.
 Thus these Germans lean towards treason and anarchy. As to the Ger man Empire once more it proves that good faith towards other nations is no. it's master. since it does not hesi- tate to promulgate internal laws which are contrary 10 international laws, Also 1t is evident that Germany only acts for her own point of view, and rules her conduct for her own con venience and for her final aim of su- prpmacy over all nations.'
