British connections lists Of the Ger
man-owned patents which have been
taken over by British firms since the
beginning of the war. These lists
have been sought by manufacturers

to make use Of German patents during,
and In some cases, after the war.
Through British representatives 10
American dyemakers have received
complete lists of the patents for max
ing dyestuffs, which British firms took
from their German owners with the
authority of the British parliament
shortly after England entered the war.
1t was recently announced by the de-
partment OF commerce that the Du
Pont company intended entering upon
the manufacture of dyestuffs on large
scale. According to representatives Of
the company, the Du Pont company
will manufacture dyes on a consider
able scale without waiting until the
end of the war.
Without German Patents.
So far the dye industry In this coun-
try has been built up without the aid
of German patented methods, because
the laws Of the country did not per-
nit this. In spite of this handicap
American manufacturers, according to
the department of commerce, have so
far invested more than 5000, 100000 in
the manufacture of dyestuffs, and are
now producing dyes in greater guam
titles than they were consumed In

II, lieutenant, man can only be true
to himself, and stand for truth and

MacBeard."
"But ut least you won't mention
these matters to people who-who
haven't open minds" pleaded Donald.
"No. sir. / wash my hands of them
oil. That's why / have told you about
this. But If you don't listen, If you
don't warn the world"
az" exclaimed Donald. Good Lord,
Masterman, you can't suppose that l
am able to stake my professional ca
reer upon the retailing of such
story! Even supposlng 1t true, the
thing won't happen In our time. Why
should world epoch terminate In
this particular generation and another
begln?"
Masterman leaped out of his chair
and stood beside the lieutenant. He
twined his fingers convulsively in his
long beard, and there was look of
fanatlclsm upon his face.
Because 1t has already terminated
and begun" he shouted. Because /
have felt them"
"Seen them, you mean !"
"Felt them, sir Ocean men. Mon:

Faroes, just where the continental
shelf rises to hundred feet-feet,
sir, not fathoms-and then sinks to

tell the world"
He broke Off and stared at the door
leading into the passage from which
they had entered the cardroom. a
man was standing there. He was per-
haps fifty years Of age, short, rather
chubby, his round face covered with
a sparse, prickly growth of hair. His
figure was rotund, and like many
short, round men with sparse boards,
he had an appearance of pompous dig
nifty.
Somehow Donald imagined that he
had been behind the door for a long
time, and that his entrance had been
prompted by curiosity so uncontrol-
liable that 1t overcame all sense of
shame or fear Of discovery.
"MacBeard ~ calculated the captain
quickly. "Donald, my lad-Donald-"
He stopped and looked at Donald in
q dazed way. He put his hands to his
head, look of bewllderment succeed
ed that of anger. and he sat down
again heavily. His features were suf-
fused with blood.
Donald sprang toward him.
Captain Masterman Are you ill?'
he cried shaking the old man by the
shoulder.
MacBeard came into the room and
stood beside him. looking down ut the
captain. Donald was conscious, EVEN
In that moment, Of strong personal
antagonlsm toward this man.
81 am afraid he has had seizure"
said MacBeard.
Capt Jonathan Roderlck Masterman
looked into the lieutenant's face with
an expression of pathetic helplessness,
smiled, sighed very deeply, stretched
out his legs, and died.

misfortune was No. 10, which left
Mankato this morning at 4:51 O'Clock.
Early reports gave the cause that of
running into an open switch, and it
was believed here that the fog had
much to do with the accident.
The engine was tipped over and the
mail car was derailed. The passengers
were given severe shaking up. The
first reports indicated that none
the passengers were injured, though
the fireman of the train was slightly
hurt. The engineer appeared to be III

Mrs. Caspar Schultz, died this morn
ing about 4:45, death resulting from
injuries which he received September
II, while operating an elevator at ST..
JoseDh's hospital. At the time of the

out, and the elevator, which he was

had stopped. Mr.. Schultz was at
tempting to leave the elevator when
the power suddenly went on again, and
it shot upward, pinning him between
the elevator and the floor, crushing
his thighs and inf1icting terrible in

life might be saved, but medical at
tention' was of no avail and he con-
tinued to fail until death relieved his
suffering this morning. He was born
on a farm in Blue Earth county, and
was thirty-six years of age on May

THEFT OF CLOTHES
Amboy Man Made Complaint to the

name of Nelson. The goods were taken

CURED it is thought between nine and
ten o'clock. Mr.. Nelson had bought
the suit, which was blue serge, and
the collars, the evening before at Rud-
berg & Hanson Brothers store, and
left them in the auto in the barn all
night. In the morning the goods were
still in the auto, and Mr.. Nelson let
them stay there little longer, only
to have them stolen. In a neighboring
saloon, a rough-looking individual
was noticed with a bundle, presumably
containing a suit, and a package of
what appeared to be collars, that
very morning. The persons in the sa-
loon at the time did not know the man
by name, but they were familiar with
his appearance. The police have been
working on the case.

CONDITION OF CROPS
Summed Up For Week Past BY I'll
Weather

Summed Up For Week Past BY the
Weather Department.
Wheat and crop conditions in the corn
and wheat region for the week ending
September is are summed up by the
weather department as follows:
Cool and dry weather in the central
and eastern states caused slow matur-
ing of corn, and there was considerable
frost damage in the extreme northeast
on the 18th, but warmer weather, with
showers, in the western corn area was
beneficial, and corn is maturing rapidly.
The bulk Of this crop will be safe from
frost in Kansas and Missouri by Sept
goth. and some fields are already past
frost danger in Nebraska and South
Dakota. Conditions are favorable for
blowing and for seeding of winter grains,
with the soil in good condition, except
that it is too dry in a few localities.
Threshing was somewhat delayed by
showers in the northwest. Buckwheat,
garden truck. crapberries and tobacco
were considerably damaged by frost. In
the northeast the first of the week.
Elsewhere fall crops made good prog

They Prove to Be Very Popular in
Old London Town.
London, September 3.-[By Mail. J.
Bombproofs in office buildings are the
latest in London.
Many of the largest office buildings
are constructing "dugouts' like the
American cyclone cellars to protect
their employees during air raids. The
usual dugout is a thick parapet of
sand bags in the basement On the
ground floor above bags of sand are
piled up three or four feet thick. At
the first alarm the office forces are
ordered to flee to the cellar. Even if
the building collapses the dugout
would afford protection.
In one big office building arrange
ments are made in the basement for
the entire force of 500 employees
with special emergency exits to the
bomb-proofs. Other buildings are
shielding the elevator shafts to pre-
