done until Germany herself thrusts
down the emperor's throat the lie
about a defensive war. OF which he
was at one and the same time the
dupe and the accomplice.
The secret is out that Bethmann-
Hollweg said recently to DIR. Har-
mack. the theologian. that the best
Germany can now hope for Is
drawn war"
Why il It that apparently the ma
jority in Germany Is now demanding
a peace without annoxations and In
IDENTITIES? First. because Germany
feels she IL beaten. Next because the
acceptance by entente of this truce
disguised under the name of peace
would be in the eyes Of Germany
recognition by the entente that the
war was defensive war for Ger
many and was not begun by her.
That Ia precisely the meaning OF
the German effort to obtain such q
white peace" To such insolence

prosecution of Marcus A. Fee, F. L..
Eaon and Charles Christensen, officers
of the defunct Valecia Condensed Milk

eral court at La Crosse of using the

that in view of the fact that large
number of Dane county people suffered
through the operations of the convict

ought to be congra tulated for the sue
cessful prosecution of the case, which
cost about $4,000. The trio is also
charged in the superior court with
having made false entries. Reedsburg

RED CfOSS FOLK
HOLD MEETING
Reports Are Made and Officers Are
Elected---Work to Be Pushed by
the Organization

At the high school building on Wed
nesday night the Sauk county branch
of the American Red Cross held q
meeting for the purpose Of receiving
reports and electing officers. The fol-
lowing were elected:
Chairman-Dr. G. T. Thuerer.
Vice-chairman-Mrs A. Oh. Eeisz
Treasurer-M. H. Mould.
Secretary-Miss Helen Riney.
Mrs. L. H. Palmer, the former sec
retary, read her report which showed
there were 755 members in Baraboo
and 1.4O3 in the county outside of
BarabO0. These paid one dollar each
and besides there has been donated
the sum Of $1,316.10. A large portion
of this was the result Of the Fourth OF
July races at the fair grounds. Mrs.
Palmer, who has faithfully served
during the past months, declined to
continue in the office on account of
lot being able to do the large amount
Of work which will be necessary in
the future if the war continues. An
other campaign is planned which will
~equire much time and energy. Mrs.
Palmer has worked diligently in the
past and the society feels grateful for
her ecorts, as we'll as III others for
supporting the cause.
The treasurer, NJ. H. Mould, report
ed about $1,000 on hand. According
to the rules Of the organization, one
half Of the membership fees collect
ed must be sent to Washington and
there is some question as, to whether
the other fifty cents should go to the
auxiliary chapters or be used in a
general way in the county work. Ma
teriaI must be bought and other ex-
penses paid. After the sum has been
sent to Washington and other sums
paid there will not be a great deal in
the treasury. The total amount of
bills paid for supplies and other ex-
penses up to date amount to $67S.2O.

along the river banks and drag the
river bottom, the body being found
about 4 O'clOik that afternoon in the
river back of the Wilkinson home,
where it is supposed to have been
carried by the water the night before
the mill company drained the pond.
The body was taken to the home of
his son Walter, where the funeral was
held.
