Joseph Franklin Jones was born
in Decatur county, Iowa, June -,
1880, and died at the sanitarium in
Brush, Colo, on March 8, 1917, aged
SO years, 8 months and 26 days. He

Frank Jones and wife came to
Colorado in 1912. He was in poor
health when he arrived and for some
time the change did him good, but
the fearful disease, tuberculosis,
again asserted itself and he sue
cumbed to it's ravages. He had

of his death and who extend heart

Madison Stephens,

Madison Stephens was born Aug.
and died at salem, Missouri, April q,
1917, being at the time of his death
4S years, months and % days old.
On May II, 1896, he was united
in marriage to Eva NJ. Ross, and to
this union were born two sons, CIar-
ence K. and Burrell l.. In August,
lv14, he was converted at meeting
in Salem, Missouri, and united with
the First Baptist church of that
place. After that time he was alto
gether a changed man. His greatest
aim was to make his home happy. He
was loving husband and father and
his only reason for not wanting to
die was the thought of leaving his
little family he loved so dearly.
The funeral service was conducted
at the home near Elk Chapel on Fri
day, April +, by Rev. A. Armstrong
and his text was from Rev. ola
And God shall wipe away all tears"
Many sorrowing and sympathiZing
friends gathered at the home and
followed the body to it's last resting
place at the top of the hill beneath
a cedar tree in the beautiful Elk
cemetery. The remains were tender
ly laid to rest in the hope of glor-
iOus resurrection.
1t was the dying wish of brother
Stephens that his body be brought
back to the land of his birth and the
scenes of his boyhood days and laid
to rest in Decatur county.

The German ambassador evidently knew all the plans

Germanv'5 VassaIS Next
From Tho Now York Trlbunel.

Disclosures OF Teutonic intrigue in
this country have only q reminiscent
interest, so far as Germany IS con-
cerned. Germany has committed In
famies alongside which subOrnation OF
American newspapers and plots TO
destroy munitions plants and enemy
shipping seem relatively innocent en-
ployments. We have met German per-
fldy and outrage with O declaration OF
war. We have resolved TO fight on
until Hohenzollern rule and all that it
stands for are cast into scrap heap.
The revelations now being made and
those which are TO come cannot alter
our attitude toward Germany. But
they can easily affect our present re-
lations with Germany's allies. We are
stll n0minally In a state Of peace with
Austria-Hungary. But that status is
highly artificial and precarious. Aus
tria-Hungary's fortunes arc imeXtric-
ably linked with Germanys. The Dual
Monarchy has become a mere depend
ency Of the German Empire It's re-
sources are being used to help Ger
many make war againts us. We have
officially closed our eyes TO that fact
Our government has been trying for
some time past to ignore even the eX-
istenco OF Austria-llungary.
The disclosures which the State De-
partment is authorizing will make IL
difficult TO pursue that policy any
longer Austria-iungary's diplomatic
representatives here were not behind
Germanys representatives in promot-
ing intrigues against our peace anC
order In fact our first clash over
sabotage and incendary activities In

The distinction drawn between Ger
man purposes and Austro-Hungarian
purposes rests on a legal fiction. The
Dual Monarchy is already our enemy.
Her agents here defled our laws and
challenged our sovereignty as freely
as Germany's agents did. The Vienna
government was unquestionably in
sympathy with Zimmermanns over
lures to Mexico. The diplomats as
well as the military policy Of the Cen
tral Powers is shaped in Berlin. Any
intimation on the part OF Austria
Hungary, or Of Bulgaria and Turkey,
Of a detached and semi-amicable at
titude toward the United States Is an
empty pretence. These states are ne
cessarily our enemies because they
have become satellites Of Germany,
and thus have surrendered all inde-
pendence Of will and action.
Senator King was right when he said
ON Saturday that 'the day is not far
distant when we must recognize a
state Of war between this country and
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey" These
nations are making war against us
when they aid Germany to make war
against us. We are sending troops 10
the Western front in Europe. Our
men may not actually come into con-
tact there with Austrian, Hungarian
Bulgarian or Turkish forces. But the
utilization Of Austrian. Hungarian
Bulgarian and Turkish troops on other
fronts enables Germany TO maintain
so many more German divisions in
France and Belgium. The proposition
is as broad as it is long. We cannot
fight Germany without lighting Ger
manys allies, and every man they
contribute to exc out Germany's
strength anywhere is man cast into
the balance against the United States
1t is time 20 drop the fiction that we
are not affected by what Austria-Hun-
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey are doing
The State Departments revelations re
call unpleasantly the intrigues ir
which Austria-Hungary's agents were
engaged couple Of years ago in thi:
country. 10 is well that those intrigue:
should be recalled Our relations will
! all of Germany's allies need to be clari
/ fed. They are not our friends; theil
attitude toward us is no less hostile
than Germany's is.
Congress should face the truth in
stead Of sde-stepping it. We cannot b
al war with Germany and at peac
with Germany's vassals. The lOgica
and practical thing TO do is TO declar
war against the three subsidiar,
states which for military purpose
have already been absorbed into tn
! German Empire.
