spared to return to home and friends
again, when the war is over.

Has Brought Wrath Of Many
Countries Down On Her
PURPOSE NOT REACHED
What May Result If Something
In Way of Peace Is Not
Forthcoming
limited Press Dispatch.1

Amsterd I'm, Holland, July lit
Is indicated by what news has come
from Berlin that Chancellor Won
Bethmann Hollweg will succeed in
weathering the political storm and
save himself from forced retirement,
but it is likely that he can do this
only by sacrificing five of his minis
tiers, with whom he is loath to part.
That the chancellor himself has the
backing Of the kaiser is regarded as
certain. 1t may be that the sacrifice
of certain ministers is being forced
by the centrist-socialist coalition.
Some critics are inclined to think
that the German public is tired of
being told that the submarine war
fare of Germany is about to force
England to her knees. There appears
to be a deeply seated feeling among
the German people, that the German
government, by its acts of frightful-
ness in the submarine warfare on the
seas is doing more harm to Germany
in the way of stirring up enemies
for her in all parts of the world, than
what is accomplished in a military
way by the actual work of destruc-
ton that is done. 1t is believed that
IL the German people do not very
soon hear of something being actually
accomplished by the submarines in
the way of bringing about peace, they
will demand the cessation of the
ruthless submarine policy and the
retirement Of the present chancellor.
Will Retire Five Ministers.

AUTO STARTED ON THE RUN
Charles r. Buffers Machine Cut Ca
pers on the Street.


Saltwater Gazette: When Charles
r. Butler of Mankato left his auto
mobile this morning at the foot of
Olive street he neglected to throw
the brake clutch and before he could
return to the machine it had started
on ali exploring trip down a portion
of South Third street. For a few
feet the machine ran true as a die,
then swerved, cut across the street,
climbed the street curb and after
crashing through the picket iron fence
which surrounds the Bernstein resi-
dence came to sudden stop, part of
the machine hanging over the wall
with the balance on the pavement.
Report has it that Butler made a
hurry up effort to stop the machine
and that in his haste he forgot him
self number of times by yelling ex-
citedly, whoa whoa"
The machine was finally rescued
from it's perilous position and taken
to a garage for repairs which were
numerous but none of any great
damage.

SUIT FOR EJECTMENT
Actions Brought BY Albert Gender
and Aaron Wishnick.

Two suits, brought to eject tenants
from a dwelling on North Front
street, were tried before Judge Ply
mat of the municipal court yesterday.
The actions were brought by Albert
Gender and Aaron Wishnick against
Clara Casley and Walter Stone. The
tenants had gardens on the premises,
and dispute arose between them
and the owners, whether the tenants
had the right to use the space for
gardening or the owners had the
right to use it as a place on which
TO deposit stores of old iron. The
tenants demanded that the owners
keep their old iron off the space, and
the owners demanded that the ten
ants move out 1t was claimed in
court that the tenants had waived
their right to thirty days notice. F.
E. Morse is attorney for the plaintiffs
and Miles Porter is attorney for the
defendants. Judge Plymat took the
case under consideration.
