WATERMAN SAYS HIS
DAUGHTER IS LOYAL
Beaver Crossing Veteran
Comes Back Hard at Audi
tor Smith on Bond
Discharge.

J.H. Waterman OF Beaver Crossing,
whose daughter was dismissed from
her employment in the office of the
state auditor over Liberty bond pur-
chase. has written a lengthy state
ment, giving his version OF the affair.
Mr.. Waterman says his daughter is
not disloyal, but that she had signed
a contract for the purchase OF Lib
erty bond, and it was at a Lincoln
bank at the time Auditor Smith dis
charged her. He says:
"a. X. Edmiston and Fl. w. Noble,
two OF the underwriters who had been
hustling for Liberty loan subscrip-
tions, started on a tour OF the state
house on Friday morning, and the
auditors Office was one OF the first
places they visited. When they got
through there all OF the people in the
office but two had bought Liberty
bonds. One OF the two who had not
taken the bonds was my daughter,
and the only rebuff she had offered
those chaps when asked to take the
bond was that she did not know il
Sflc were dDlc. nc HcNt pioSceuiuS
in this "lesson in patriotism" was the
stepping Of the two into Smiths room,
from which he shortly rushed, like a
bull into the ring following the shak-
ing of red blanket, and with light
ming in his eye, gave her to under
stand that unless she bought Liberty
bond she could consider herself out
Of a job, offering to loan her the
money to start the purchase of one.
think OF it--a girl being forced
TO borrow money to loan this wealthy
nation or be deprived Of her means
OF support"
Mr.. Waterman, who says he Is a
veteran OF the War Of the Rebellion,
says further along in his statement:
"If my daughter was man, as Smith
should be, she undoubtedly would be
following in the footsteps of her
father and showing more patriotism
TO this nation and Old Glory, than
Smith will ever demonstrate in his
life.r

Struggle in the Reichstag
May Break Out This
Week.
FIGHTING IN FLANDERS
German Counter Attack
Fails and Prisoners Are
Lost.

External pressure to force the Ger
man government to set forth its war
aims clearly having failed on the sur
face, internal conditions within the
empire threaten to compel the issu-
ance of a full statement of German
aims. What the German leaders want
il they are successful will be discussed
in the Reichstag this week.
The Imperial Chancellor, DR.. Mich
aelis is finding the way as difficult
as it was for his predecessor, Bethann-
Hollweg, and he must now face the
critics of the government in the Reich
stag. Whether as have been charged,
the bureaucracy and the army have
been furthering the pan-German
Fcheme of annexation and indemnity
is expected to be brought out in the
Reichstag debate.
Recent reports have shown that the
feeling between Pan-Germans and the
Reichstag majority has been becoming
more intense, some Socialist members
Of the Reichstag having gone so far as
to charge that the agitation OF the
Fan.Germans is dividing the German
people into two camps on the question
of the aims of the war.
Approaching cold weather on the
western front is forecast III the appear
ance Of snow in the Nosges mountains.
IN Flanders the weather has been most
unfavorable, the last two days. but
official reports mention no let up in
the violent artillery duel. The Brit
ISL are probably using the new posi-
lions won last week as q base from
which to harress the Germans in the
lowlands between the PassChendGele-
Gheluvelt ridge and the RoulersM
railroad in preparation for a new strike
il the plan to outfank German posi-
lions in the north. Unofficial reports
from Stockholm say strong German
naval forces have been sighted in the
Baltic sea of the Danish and Swedish
coast, bound probably for the Gulf OF
Finland for drive on Helsingfors, Fin.
land and Petrograd. The Germans
are said to be concentrating a large
force including nine sweepecs and
transports and plan to attack HelSing.
fors by land and sea.
Today's British official statement
indicates no let up in the intense artil.
lery duel in Flanders. The definite de.
velopment reported was the launching
Of the expected counte. action by the

night Sam orloff was arrested at
Montana Mines by Constable Bolyard
ma charge of being Stacker; it
being claimed that he is of the mil
itary age, but failed to register When
Bolyard made an effort to get Orloff
it is alleged that Kalinak jumped into
the fight and made it interesting for
the constable for time. The officer
by the use of his mace brought the
men to time.
This morning Kalinak came to the
county Jail to look after his fellow
countryman and without ceremony
Jailer T. V. Buckley just snapped the
door behind him and he was in the
same tolls as Orloff. Kalinak is Il
strapping big fellow and it is said
that the officer got his man in time
for they might have been riot on
in the Russian camp il he had tarried
very long.
Kalinall will be prosecuted for inter.
fering with an officer in the discharge
Of his duty.
Charged for making an effort to
evade military service will be brought
