RUssIA's SUPPLIES DETAINED.
L. S. Government Must Know More
About Russia First.

Washington, Nov. 20.-No ship
ments of supplies will be permitted to
go from the United States to Rus
sia until the situation in that coun-
try clears. The American govern
ment before allowing the export OF
goods already on the docks wants to
know into whose hands they will fall
on their arrival.
The cessation of shipments is tenn
porary only if a stable government
is formed which the United States
can recognize. If the Bolsheviki gain
control and pursue their programme
calling for a peace with Germany the
embargo will be permanent. A pro-
tracted civil war also would work to
keep the embargo tight, as the Uni
ted States then would fear that sup
plies might go to the Bolsheviki fac
ton.
The provisional Russian govern
ment was given credits amounting in
all to 1925, 100000, of which $751;
900 already has been advanced. Much
of this money has been spent for sup
plies now awaiting shipment and the
Russians have been given vessels for
it's transport Shipments will be held
up by denial of bunker coal to the
ships.
Thomas D. Jones, vice chairman
of the war trade board, called at the
white house today and conferred with
President Wilson. No statement was
forthcoming, but it was believed he
Russian situation was discussed.
Conditions in Russia are far from
clear. The state department today
had no additional dispatches from
Ambassador Francis at Petrograd but
unofficial messages from Sweden were
that General Kaledines, hetman of
the Don Cossacks, held the master
hand in Russia through domination
of the country's coal and bread sup
ply in the Don Cossack region and
was marching on Varonez, 200 miles
south Of Moscow.
Passengers arriving at the Swedish
frontier from Russia also reported
that soldiers were parading the Pc
trograd streets bearing banners de-
manding a constitutional assembly of
all Russia, and declaring that the
Bolsheviki regime was more tyran-
nical than that of Nicholas.

SLAIN FOR OPPOSING KAISER.
Murdered Because They Subscribed to
Red Cross and Liberty Bonds.

Virginia, Mimi, Nov. 16.-Three
Austrians, a woman and two men,
were murdered here last night, the
police say, because they had subscrib-
ed to the Liberty Loan and Red Cross
funds. They were Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Alar, and Peter Trepich, a boarder
in the Alar house.
The skull of each had been crushed
with an axe while the victims slept,
and each body mutilated with a knife.
On a kitchen table in the home OF
the Alars was a note, written in an
Austrian dialect, reading:
This is what you get for being
against the Kaiser. You have donated
to the Red Cross and you have said
the Kaiser could go to hell. Don't
look for US, anyone who does will
get the same dose"
Red Cross and Liberty Loan pur-
chase signs, GENERALLY displayed here,
although the community has a large
Austrian population, disappeared
from the windows of Austrian resi-
dents today.
The Alars were each thirty-eight
years of age, and Trepich was 60
years of age. The men were miners.

PAMPERED BERLIN.
Few Heavy Burdens Imposed on the
Metropolis.

If there is revolt against the
Kaiser, it will not have its origin in
Berlin, declares Adele N. Phillips, in
the October Atlantic. Rarely are the
narrowing phases of the war revealed
to the people of the metropolis. Berlin
is coddled, pampered. The burden that
is imposed on her is not as heavy
as that borne by other municipalities.
Her food-supply is greater, and the
restrictions are not as tightly drawn.
The cities in the extreme north are
lifeless. Unable to contribute their
share to the great conflict they are
neglected, a greater toll OF man
power being exacted from them.
Photographs were shown in prl-
vate circles of the 'longshore women
of Cuxhaven being driven like sheep
to load ships with supplies for mother
ships or submarine bases; mere
shapeless snags of women-dat-
chested and devoid of feminine grace,
slouching along with unwomanly dis
regard of their appearance. Yet,
three years ago, these coarse, frowsy
creatures were noted for the sturdi-
ness of their carriage and certain
rugged voluptuousness. The govern
ment considered these photographs Of
sufficient Importance to makea house
toulouse search in the district for
COPIES Of them and to arrest the
holder of the negative.

TRAGEDY IN COLLETON.
G. w. Timer Dead; His Son, Raysor
Ulmer, Accused.

Walterboro, Nov. 19.-As the re-
suit of one of the most tragic shoot
ings ever occurring in this county, c..
w. Ulmer, one of the county's best
citizens, is dead, and his son, Raysor,
is in Jail charged with the killing. He
will not talk, and as there were no
eye witnesses to the shooting, it is
not definitely known what was the
cause of the killing.
1t has been reported that on We'd
nesday of last week the young man
came to Walterboro to attend the
fair in company with young wom-
an whom his father objected to his
sons going with, and that on Thurs
day he upbraided his son for the act,
and that Mrs. Ulmer, seeing that it
was likely there would be a fuss be-
tween father and son, left the house
and was not present when the shoot
ing occurred. Three shots were fir
ed, only one taking effect, which
caused death almost instantly. Mr..
J. S. Sanders, of Moselle, was near
the house, having stopped to repair
his car, and when he heard the shots
he went to the house to ascertain
the cause. 1t is said he met Mr.. Ul-
mer coming out of the house and
was told that he (Ulmer) had shot
his father. When pressed by Mr..
Sanders for an explanation, he is
said to have stated: II did it to save
my own life" Further than this
nothing is known as to the tragedy.
The sheriff and coroner were noti-
fed and when they arrived the in
quest was held in accordance with
the above facts. Mr.. Ulmer accom-
panied the sheriff to Walterboro and
has since been in jail. 1t is under
stood that he will apply for bail
through his attorney, M. P. Howell,
Esq.

IDEAL HUSBAND.
Volunteers to Do Wife's Jail Term
Refuses to Pay Fine.

Volunteers to Do Wife's Jail Term;
Refuses to Pay Fine.
There are some who maintain that
the age of chivalry is deader than a
doornail, but it seems that is a mis-
take.
Listen to the story of John Skw-
arek, of North Chicago, who not only
qualities as a model husband, but also
gallops off with the laurels of Sir
Walter Raleigh.
Mrs. Skwarek has flock Of geese
that are as the apple of her eye. This
week they wandered off into the gar
den of a neighbor, Joseph Belakey,
who caused the arrest of Mrs. Shw-
arek. This was because the geese
did not leave much of the garden.
The woman was arraigned before
Justice of the Peace Neahaus, of
North Chicago, ordered to keep the
geese at home, and fined 81 and
costs, with the alternative OF going
to jail if she refused to pay. She re-
fused. Here's where the age of chiv-
airy was revived.
Three days in jail" said the JUS
tice, sentencing the woman. Her
husband stepped forward.
Hold" he said, "let me go to jail
in the place Of my wife. 1t is my
place to face hardships for her.
1T doesn't matter to US" said the
Belakeys. Its all right, as long as
some one suffers for this raid on our
garden. The law is the law, and we
demand justice"
So Skwarek went to Jail in place
of his wife.
In the evening she came to the jail
with a fat basket Of lunch, which
they ate together.-Chicago Dispatch,

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The highschool football team will
go to Coon Rapids tomorrow after
noon for the first game of the season.
Little is known of the ability of the
Coon Rapids team this year but from
performances of past years, the Audi
bons boys are not looking for an easy
game.
On the other hand the boys hardly
know what to expect from themselves
After three weeks of hard training
however, the high school authori-
ties are taking a hopeful view of the
season. With but five boys on the
squad who have had previous exper-
fence in the game, it has been pro-
blem to work out well founded
team. But some good new material
has turned up and after the ragged
edges have been worked off, they
! should make a creditable showing
against any team in this vicinity.
The return of Levi Jensen from
Sac City has bolstered up the hopes
of the local fans as he fills an i'm
portant place in the back field The
following named boys are showing
up well in the back field,
Guy McFadden, Russell Bagley,
Oliver Fullerton, Ivan Kelly, Mar
