Albert Pfaender and County Auditor
Louis G. Vogel, all of New Ulm, have
been removed from office by Governor

length, as is promise he made to have
the three officials involved sign a
statement, carefully worded by the
commission, admitting their error, and
|pledging their loyalty to the govern
ment.
This statement, after meeting the

er men. Two days later, the attorney
for the commission was notified that
the document would not be signed.
| Then it was that the commission decid-
ed to ask for the removals.

Advantage With Allies.

hnued late into the night, especially
in the northwest portion, which lies

The Germans continued to fling heavy

The advantage rests with the British

With Silver Abdominal Plate
Special Correspondence of The Star.

PARIS. November 20. 1917.
nANKO DIMITRIEVITCH is Serbian
~ who fought the Austrians in the
army Of his Prince Alexander. He was
wounded fourteen times. The last
wound made 1t impossible for him to
stay in the army. for a mitrailleuse shot
took away the whole coating Of his ab-
domen. The missing membrane was
replaced by a silver plate. like that
which was used for a similar wound of
Gen. Galliffet in the Mexican
war. The general lived to dance at the
court of the Empress Eugenie and to
lead the cavalry charge at Sedan, which
drew from the old kaiser the honest
cry: "Oh, the brave men,"
Janko Dtmitrievitch could not aim at
such exploits, but he could still do his
bit. With other refugees from his in
vaded and ruined country he was
a munitions factory. When he left work
he had to pass by Austrian prisoners.
who was wearing his silver plate again.
Austrians began the war by attacking
Serbia and cannot forgive Serbians for
not allowing themselves to be beaten.
One day an Austrian prisoner struck
Janko with q knife in the left shoulder.
Janko had no weapon. but he did not
stop for that. Snatching the silver
plate from his abdomen he struck out
with 1t until the Austrian lay grievous-
ly wounded on the ground.
This would never do, II only for the
sake of discipline. So Janko Dimitrie-
witch was brought into court. The Judge
listened to the complaint of this curl
GUS assault and battery and smiled as
he said: Three dollars-next." Janko,
who war wearing his silver plate again,
also smiled and went back to work.

care Of socialism and anarchy. but
others must take care Of the pacifist
and pro-German traitors
During the war there have been
strikes in this country, which, al
though they were vigorously opposed
by the union leaders. were forced by
allen members clearly acting in the in
terest of Germany, but not in a way
where 1t could be easily proved. Grad
