was devoured without a blink and the
impressive ceremonies went through
with great eclat Five blushing girls ad-
mitted that they really were to be mar

But when It came to publication of the

New YORK, Jan. EXPERIMENTATION, aus
halten, Maui haltenr In literal English.
Hold through-hold out-hold In Cor hold
tongue)" More freely translated, En-
dure. stick 1t out, keep mouth shut"
These words OF Ballin. the great German
captain of industry. to me some months
ago have become famous through all
Germany, and even Austrfa-Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey
1t has become the slogan of the Ger
man people. 1t is taught to the children
in school. L have heard youngsters of
shouting it on Unter den Linden.
Berlin had particular reference to the
economic conditions In Germany, which
we were discussing. And nothing better
exemplifies the spirit Of Germany under
the tremendous economic pressure of tho
ring of iron" surrounding it than this
slogan.
With this spirit even among the little
children, Germany villa get through till
the next crop comes in. The German
peoples may have a hard winter. There
will be privation, perhaps some suffering.
These will not be among the soldiers on
the front, but among the civilian nom
combatant population, who make great
sacrifices fcr the mem who fight.
Blockade Hits Young and Old.
In its effect the British blockade, which
the Germans persist in calling Illegal
and 'inhuman," hits especially hard the
very young and the very old. There is a
scarcity of rich milk of cream, of butter
and so-called butter fats" so necessary
to growth and health in tender years.
Old people require the most nourishing
foods to keep UP slowly waning strength.
to resist disease and withstand the raw
ages of oncoming years.
Germany viii get through. The Ger
mans assert this oficially and my own
observations and Impressions lead me to
the same conclusion independent of that
assertion. There may be people whose
hunger will not be entirely stilled, but
there will be no starvation. 1t may call
for fortitude, but history shows that the
German people have that in abundance.
And they have 1t today.
Can Germany hold out economically7'
That question u more than ever to the
fore now that the reply of the allies has
once more solidly united the German peo-
pies and "war to the hilt' may be ex-
pected. 1t has been asked of me more
often than any other question since my
return to New York the end of December
Without assuming to have the ability
to rend the veil that conceals the future,
my Impressions, based upon observations.
are that Germany can and will hold out
through this winter and spring and after
that will, so far as food is concerned, be
in position to hold out indefinitely. My
observations have not been solely from
the Adlon Hotel, the Vanderbilt or Bilt-
more, Of Berlin, as have been those of
some who have written books on Ger
many.

Cronan was the real brakeman on
the front train of the two connected
with the accident which caused the
death of four men and the injury of
nine others. Both of Cronan's legs
were broken and his hip "a injured.
The hearing in the investigation
proceeded to a point where Cronan's
testimony was needed to clear the
question as to whether he had prop
erly protected his train by placing
torpedoes on the track as 1T pulled
out of Sherman.
The evidence so far taken shows
that the two trains, running 40 min
utes apart, were given clearances al

was a train ahead of them.

The LEGISLATURE
GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL
PASSES THE SENATE.

Pierre, Feb. 2S.-The general APP
propriations .bill calling for a total
of $3,373.500 was passed by the SEN
ate after a discussion lasting an hour
and a half. This is the largest gen
eral bill ever passed by a legislature
of this state and almost equals all
the appropriations of the last SEES
sion. Two strong attempts We're
made to amend 1t on the floor of the
senate, Gunderson. OF Clay county,
attempting to add $4,000 annually
to maintenance for the benefit of the
State university. and Carlisle. of
Bookings, trying to put $500 on
to agricultural college maintenance,
but both failed.
The so called public utilities bill.
designed to center control of all mu-
nicipal public utilities in the state
railway commission and depriving
the municipality of that control,
which were defeated last week In the
house, have got back on to the floor
of the house in a way that has al
most caught some of the members
unawares and another fight is in
prospect over them. The rejected is
sues came back as amendments of
fered by Blake to III. B. 391. a small
bill which attempted to regulate cleo
trio power companies. AS amended
the original bill is practically elm
mated, all the public utilities bill be-
ing included in one amendment and
offered as an amended new bill. The
proposal will be bitterly fought on
the floor of the house by Lyon and
Benson despite the fact that there is
little time remaining. The method
of getting the issue back for consid-
Grafton at the last moment when
once killed has aroused the opposi-
ton Of some members.
Bills introduced in the senate in
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1917-02-28

cluded n constitutional amendment
permitting a bonded Indebtedness of
the state of a million dollars for the
development of state resources. A
bill also was introduced, accepting
the benefits of the Smith-Hughes act
of congress, permitting federal aid
for vocational and agricultural ed
ucation.
The house defeated the Berg SEN
ate bill TO authorize the use of con-
yicts in the work Of repair on the
spillway near the ~penitentiary. The
objection apparently being the house
bill which authorized the employ
ment of conyicts AT u compensation
which was preferred.
The house passed several appro-
priation bills. n a senate bill ear
$4,000 for cottages and re-
pairs at Yankton asylum.
The state sheriff bill. which has
passed both houses, places, as
amended, the powers of enforcement
OF all laws upon such officer and his
deputies, the deputies being the sher-
ifs of the county along with three
special agents who are authorized
under this bill. The amendments
make him Il state humane officer as
well as a state sheriff, and the ex-
ecutive officers of the fire marshal
department, the inspector of food
and drugs and dairy experts are re-
CURED by law to report to the state
sheriff any violations of the Grim
inal laws of the state which come to
their notice.
The house finally disposed OF the
Benson budget bill by accepting the
senate amendments after Lyon had
made an attempt to get a different
proposition inserted.
The house also passed the house
bill creating the department OF mar
ket commissioner and carrying an
appropriation of 5000 for putting
1t into effective working operation.
