brutalities practlced by Germany dur
ling the past three years. They are
fresh in our minds, and their fiend-
ish work is still going on. Hence
when the Frankfurt Zeitung charges
the United States with brutality BE-
cause it is taking measures to pre-
vent Germany from obtaining sup
niles from this country through al
/! legged neutrals, it places itself III a
ridiculous position when past ana
rresent history is consulted.

ODD FELLOWS
HOME COMING MEETING IN MAD.
ISON TODAY.

The home coming of the Odd Eel
lows of this vicinity, and the meet
ing of the grand lodge here today
make the event m of considerable
interest to members of that frater-
nifty. The event is to offer local hos
pitality to members of lodges which
this lodge has installed in neighbor-
ing towns, both within and without
this county. A good representation
is present, but the severity of the
weather has caused some to stay at
home. This afternoon is a session of
the grand lodge. Notable men in the
brotherhood present are Henry Rob
~ertson, grand master, of Dell Rapids;
Grand Secretary Harvey j. Rice, of
Huron, and Past Grand Master A. l..
Larson, of Aberdeen. B. A. Brunson,
of Ramona, and other faithful local
Odd Fellows who have proved their
service to the cause, are in attend
ance. Tonight there are to be pro-
ceedings of a more recreative and en-
tertaining character, followed by a
banquet or supper.

CORN SHREDDER
YOUNG MAN HAS ARM TORN OFF
In MACHINE TODAY-IS
IN HOSPITAL.

Late this forenoon as he was feed
ing a corn shredder on the farm of
John Schuster, north of Ramona,
Lawrence Derungs, 20 years old, be-
came entangled in the machine, tear
ing his left arm completely off near
ly to the elbow. DR.. III. K. Kellogg,
of Madison, raj summoned. He
brought the young man to the Mad
ison hospital, where the arm was
taken off midway between the elbow
and shoulder.
The shredder belongs to the sons
of Plazi behring's, north of Ramona,
and is operated by them. This morn
ing they were operating it on the
John Schuster farm, and Lawrence
was doing the feeding. He says
that he lost his footing and partly
fell, throwing his arm in such posi-
ton as to be caught by the rapidly
whirling knives. The hand and arm
to near the elbow were completely
mangled and severed from his body
Above that to a point well above the
elbow the bones were shattered and
the flesh torn, making it necessary
to amputate the member at a place
about four inches above the elbow.
Immediately following the acct
dent DR.. Kellogg was summoned, and
on his arrival it was deemed best to
take the young man to the hospital
The wound was given a hasty tenn
porary dressing, and he was brought
here. Late this afternoon the opera
,tion was completed, and the young
man is reported to be resting well.

DIRECTORS Meet
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION HAVE
MEETING-TAKE UP WORK
FOR SOLDIERS.

The directors of the Madison Mer-
chants association met this morning
in their rooms and dispatched mat
tiers of business. They allowed a
mass of bills, and reviewed their ac-
complishments, and rendered them
selves a vote of congratulations and
thanks for the good work they had
done-at least the latter matter was
proposed.
In consideration for a campaign
for funds for the the War Camp Com
munity Recreation service, which is
along lines similar to those of the
Y. M. c. A, and which the associa-
ton is taking up to assist the sol
diers in this country, an effort is be-
ing made to fill the amount of $500
apportioned this community. A let
ter was read from T. r. Smith, in
which he gives the work of the Y.
M. c. A. praise that is almost extrav-
agant, telling of the work that insti-
tuition is doing in the way of recrea-
ton. He finished with the statement
that he was writing with a pencil be-
cause there were so many using the
pens that he could not get one. The
War Camp Recreation service is sim
liar, has the endorsement of men
high in the nations confidence and
offers protection in many ways that
the older organization does not.
Their buildings are maintained out
side of the camps. There is one
equipped and maintained at Manhat-
tan, Kan, which is said to have
proved a boon for the men.
Young men from the Odd Fellows
lodge of Madison form a representa-
ton of IA in the army now, and there
are undoubtedly many more in the
county and surrounding territory. II
is purposed to lay the matter before
this lodge. which is in session today
and tonight, and obtain their sup
port.

SCENIC

1t is said that neither 'Intoler-
ance'' nor The Birth of a Nation
surpasses in grandeur of scenery or
production For the Freedom of the
World" which was exhibited last
night and will be shown tonight at
the Imperial. A tremendous prepa-
ration was made for the production
of this great war drama, and the fea-
ture which appeals to us of the pres
ent is the fact that it illustrates
scenes and emotions of the great war
in Europe. 1t is really a 75-cent
show for 20 cents at the Imperial to-
night.

WERE ALL TO THE GOOD," WRITES THIS
 ARIZONA "SAMMIE"

Mrs. J. F. Logan, of Lewis Springs 1 has received an interesting letter i from her son, dated Somewhere in France"-a letter rich in description and news. Parts of it are we'll worth reproduction, and they follow: We left Oakmont on Sunday and went direct to New York, sailing the evening of arrival for Flu rope. We were on the water less than 12 days-good time, considering the zig-zag course we were forced to follow to prevent the enemy subs" from getting a fine shot at our yes sel. Many of the fellows were so sick that they thought they would never live to see Europe, but was at home on the sea and enjoyed every mo- ment of the trip.
 Precautions Taken. Many precautions were taken in case of disaster. The life boats were filled with boxes of biscuits and kegs of water and they were then swung ready for lowering. All the air-tight compartments were closed and life belts were in abundance all over the ship.
 On Big Boat.
 We sailed on one of the largest vessels afloat-the R. M. S. Bartie Two United States destroyers sailed along side to give us a proper "send- off and when we reached the danger zone we were met by two more de- stroyers. You should have heard the cheering when these two little fight CTS came up. Every one heaved a sigh of relief that could have been heard for miles.
 Land at Liverpool.
 'T think we were all surprised when We landed on the British Isles; but we were all glad, as we wanted to see as much of Europe as possible. We saw some very pretty country coming through the Irish sea. The green hills of Ireland were on one side and the red and white cliffs of Wales were on the other They made a never-to-be-forgotten picture.
 "On July Fist the old ship dropped anchor in Liverpool. but we waited for the sunrise of the next day by which to dock. We left Liverpool early that day for the camp near Bor- der. where we remained three days. On the morning of the fourth day or ders came to pack, and the following morning we were on French soil.
 'In New York harbor every tug and every vessel saluted us. but I think the warmest reception was given us when we landed in France.
 Praise for the ~"
 When the Y. M. c. A. said that they would not allow us to get lonely. we thought it simply talk but they
