since 1874 or in seventy three years. The
convention has expended in educational
evangelistic and missionary work in the
state during the year just closed $685.
1878 and closed its books on the 18th
with a balance on hand of S696.l5. Dur
ing the year there has been added to the

Penalty of Transmitting Messages for
Germany.

Washington, Sept. 2l.-Sweden's Off
cial reticence concerning the exposures
made by Secretary Lansing on the part
her diplomatic agents have taken in
transmitting German messages is regard
ed here largely as cloak to cover what
must necessarily be an embarrassing in
ternal reform. Until official admission
of measure of guilt is made and prom
ises of greater care in the future are Civ
en-, it appears improbable that Swedish
diplomatic representatives will be af-
forded the same facilities for the trans.
mission of their dispatches. Although
the American government has not placed
any restrictions on the Swedish legation
here there is daily evidence that code
messages sent to and from Stockholm
through cable stations in the control of
Great Britain are being subjected to in
definite delay

If GERMANY SHOULD WIN

81. F. Conrad in the Des Moines Reg
ister)
If Germany took Paris and finally
starved England into submission, she
would dictate any terms of peace she
chose. The British fleet would be hers
and Canada if she chose. With the
hold she has in Mexico and South
America, how long would it be before
she commenced, like a huge boa con-
strictor, to crush the life out of the
United States? Germany would de-
your US, and If we objected to the menu
she would say it was for our own good
and the glory of God. The man who
thinks Germany would not do this still
believes that Belgium brought on this
big war by her own blind stubbornness
