KILLED FOR BUYING LIBERTY
BONDS
Note Left by Slayers Shows That
Victims Hated Kaiser.

Virginia, Mimi, Nov. 16.-While
the north country stood aghast to-
night at the horrid details of the trip
Ic-axc murder here early today, coun-
ty officials were hurrying from Du-
luth to take charge of the investiga
ton. The murders took place in 4
small two-story frame house and the
victims, all killed while in bed, were:
Paul Alar, SO, miner.
Mrs. Paul Alar, 3S. his wife.
Peter Trepich, 90. employed at the
A1pena mine.
All were Austrians and have lived
here several years. Trepich boarded
with the Alars.
The police think the three prob
ably were murdered because they
had subscribed to liberty bonds and
aided the Red Cross by fellow-coun-
trymen friendly to the central pow
ers. The robbery theory. advanced
because of report that Mrs. Alar
had drawn $500 from a bank yes
-terday. was disproved in measure,
when $6 was found in the Alar bed.
The police say if there had been
more money it likely would have
been placed there too, and all taken.
A neighborhood row, growing out
of the war, is the theory of DR..
Grove. deputy coroner.

FORD IDEAS FOR SHIPS
Stick to One Type and Rush EN-, the
Detroiters Plan.

Washington, Nov. I7.-The advent
of Henry Ford, motor car manufac'
turer, into the governments ship
building organization means the same
principles that Ford has applied to
the manufacture of his cars are to be
applied to shipbuilding-standardiz
tion.
Ford says it is the only way to get
output in ships commensurate with
the resources of the United States.
He says that it only became possible
for him to build I-2 to I million cars
every year by getting everything
down to one standard, sticking to it,
and not fooling AROUND with several
sizes of cars. He says that is what
the United States is going to have to
do if it is going to get the ships it
will need to beat Germany.
There is one sure way to let Ger
many beat us" the motor car manu-
facturer said today. THAT is for
Germany to stick to her efficient
methods and for us to throw aside
the American standard of efficiency
just because we have got in war.
We've got to do things for the gov
ernment to win the war on the same
basis of business efficiency that we
do in private business. We've got
to make our war efforts even more ef-
ficient, if possible.
As see it the problem of getting
ships can be solved the same way as
solved the problem of getting out
put in motor cars and no other
that's not by partial Standardization,
but standardization in every detail.
my idea is that we should agree
upon one of the several ships that
have. been adopted as standard ships |
say the 8,ooo-ton ship. And in the
future build only this ship Then we
know that we need the same engine
and the same everything for every
ship that will be built. Factories all
over the country that today aren't
available for this kind of work can
Be sent one particular part and told
to make it. And they can start in
making that part and keep on. And
so the work can be distributed over
the country into every factory that
has mechanical equipment suitable for
the work. Wen get an output that
way. We won't get it in any other"

not get away before October and possibly
not until later, dependent upon transporta-
tion arrangements
II am going to order the First Delaware

said Colonel Readag. III | can't, then the
men cannot 90 urtil October ., and the
Third Regiment and the Second, now at
Trenton, will have to wait until later.
If | can get cars for the Delaware regi-
ment by Friday. then the Second and Third
New Jersey will start October o. The or
ders for them to go have already been
issued by the War Department for the
dates mentioned or as soon thereafter as

the form the orders resulting in departure
