Fertilization Officer Is Victim
Of Early Morning Crme
in Apartment.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 1S.-An un-
usually mysterious murder is engross-
iHs the attention OF the Stockholm
criminal police There are apparently
no clues TO work and. and there is no
clear idea OF what the motive was.
The victim was Lieutenant-C Colonel
Hj"lmar Sm.tts, one Of Sweden's most
prominent forufication officers.
Smitts family was in the country. and
only he and young servant girl oc-
cupied the apartments. At ? o'clock
on the morning Of the murder the
mouse porter and his wife were
dNakened by tremendous racket
They arose and tried to find whence
u proceeded. but IL ceased and. after
Naln search they returned 20 bed
IN the morning Smitts' servant girl
came 10 them and told how she had

struggle IN the apartments. culmi-

TO FIGHT THE KAISER NOW
German Veteran of 1870 Wants 10
Rctrace Route 10 Berlin.

Mai j. M. Birkner, former lieuten-
ant in the German army hopes
soon to travel the road which in 1870
led him from Berlin to Paris. Only
Major Klrkner. now In charge or the
Fourth Regiment hospital at Fort
Crook, intends to go in the other
direction this time.
A few nights ago at dinner given
in his honor, Major Birkner, In
broken English. said: Il fought from
east to west. Now l want to fight
from west to east"
As German soldier. Major Birk-
ner fought on the same oattlefields
which now are being mentioned in
daily dispatches as scenes of the
great European struggle. Two of his
campaigns-he was II when he be-
gan-were those of st. Quentin and
Verdun. Bismarck. the German
chancellor, was a familiar figure to
him.
A youthful veteran of the Prus-
sian war. trained at the German mill
itary school at Munich, Birkner grew
to hate the system which created
and maintained the German military
power. Recently Major Birkner told
how he happened to leave Germany
and why he wanted to go back now
and fight with France against Ger
many.
Rcbcllcd mt "BloOd and Iron"
Germany is ruled despotically,
Major Birkner said THAT is why
left the country. There were hun
dreds of young men who left when
did. feeling that democracy had beer
checked by the imposition upon the
country of Bismarck's policy OF
blood and iron Many OF those same
men or their sons are now fighting
as Americans for the principles
which they wished then to see in
force in their fatherland.

with democratic convictions. The
German military autocracy is as jeal-
Gus of caste distinction as a Hindu"
Major Birkner believes that the
present war will be brought to an
end as soon as the American armies
are well established in France.
THE world has no quarrel with
Germany" he says. land the German
people will demand peace despite
their kaiser or the junker class, when
they are assured by the presence OF
the American armies on the field of
battle that terms of peace will be
equitable.
Americas Army OF Democracy
II am an American because | be-
lieve that America will solve the
problem OF world democracy. And it
Is the army which must be the instru-
ment used to reach a solution. This
war should teach America that with
its army 1t can keep the world at
peace"
Major Birkner sailed for America
in 1879. He was graduated from
Washington university at st. Louis
with the degree OF doctor OF medi-
cine and came to Nebraska to prac-
tice.

The S2 years which have elapsed
since Major Birkner became an
American citizen have seen him con
tinually engaged in some sort OF mill
tary service. He fought in the Indian
uprisings In Nebraska and was pres
ent at the battle OF Wounded Knee,
the last of the Sioux campaigns.
In 1889 he became a member OF
the medical corps and In that branch
he has served both thru the Spanish
American war and during the Mex
lean border trouble.

WASHINGTON. Aus. 1S-The sec
retary OF agriculture has addressed
the following letter to the mayors OF
all large cities which have no reduc-
ton plants for recovering valuable
materials from garbage:
This department desires to bring
to your attention the matter of con-
SerfauOn OF tho garbage IN yodr city.
tt the present time there exists thru =
out the world shortage Of both fats
and fertilizer materials. This situa-
tion promises TO grow more serious as
the war IN Europe continues. 1t is
therefore matter Of prime impor-
tance that all available 5ources nf
both of these materials should he
used to the best advantage. Garbage
contains on the average about two
per cent OF grease and about twenty
per cent OF tankage, the latter haV-
iIs valuable properties as u lcrtl'i2cr
material. Any method of disposal OF
garbage in large cities which does not
recover both the grease and the tank
age !s uneconomic and particularly
dcpiorable In the present circIm-
stances We wish. therefore, % urge
upon your consideration the advise
bility OF SO treating the gar6age from
Your city as TO insure the recovery
OF its valuable constituents. "ha'
