KAISER'S MINISTER
OF MARINE RESIGNS
Revolt on Warshps Causes Admiral
CapeIIe to Quit-Crews Planned to
Surrender to Russians.

Amsterdam, Oct. 13.-Vice Admiral
won Capelle, the German minister Of
marine, has resigned, according to the
Frankfurter Zeitung.
Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capelle
was one Of the administrative directors
in the ministry Of marine before the
war and had served as a captain at

Vice Admiral Won Capelle announced
In the reichstag last Wednesday that
q plot had been discovered in the
navy to paralyZe the efficiency Of the
fleet and force the government to
make peace. He said that the guilty
parties had received their just de-
6ertS and attempted to link socialists
with the plot
! The socialists and their newspapers
have attacked the vice admiral for his
statements.
Some information may now be add
ed which is believed to be thoroughly
reliable. There has been no little talk
In Germany of late regarding the al
most complete inactivity of the Ger
man fleet in the Baltic against Rus

bus opportunities.
1t is a fact that the instruction
took place on at least six important
units of the grand fleet and that 1t
not only put the ships out Of action
but caused the authorities to doubt
the discipline and loyalty Of the crews
Of other large ships.
For that reason it was deemed in
advisable to embark ON any activity
Involving the use of battleships.
The seriousness Of the event is
shown by facts brought out in the
Teichstag and in comments in the

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG.

Inasmuch as flags are now be-
ing flung to the breeze more
numerously than ever, certain
rules governing their display
are appropriate for the guidance
Of the public.
The flag should not be hoisted
before sunrise, nor allowed to
remain up after sunset. It should
not be displayed upon stormy
days. It is wasteful and map
propriate.
When the flag is formally
raised, all present should stand
at attention, with hand raised to
the forehead ready for the sa-
lutte.
When our national flag and
state or other flags fly together,
or are used in decorations to-
gether, our national flag should
be on the right.
When used on a bier or casket
at a funeral, the stars should
be placed at the head. In no

TOO MUCH MEDDLING.

The Rochester Bulletin tells
of a man who went from door

where the American flag was
not displayed he would ring the
doorbeli and leave mandatory
message to the effect that "You
will have to put out an Ameri-
can flag. No house may be with
out the national colors.' The
Albert Lea Tribune quotes the
Bulletins account and says:
"Come on over to Albert Lea.
There are some here that have
not woke up to the fact that the
country is at war; The, Daily
Review extends no invitation to
that sort of impertinent busy
body to come to Mankato. The
Stars and Stripes are properly
displayed on nearly every home
in this city and the only compui-

There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encourag cement to the anx-

disease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with Redwood Falls man:
Mr.. Robertson says: "About four
teen years ago l began to suffer from
backache, weakness across my hips
and loins and other kidney ailments.
Drinking the hard water in Iowa |
believe affected my kidneys. There
was one winter about five years ago
couldn't ride in the wagon on ac-
count of my back being so bad. The
jar nearly killed me and I had to
walk wherever / went. I got no re-
lief until I began using Doan's Kid
ney Pills. They went right to the
seat of the trouble, regulated my kid
neys and rid me of the distressing
aches and pains. / have used Doan's

Be considerate at all times.
Other users of the road have
equal rights with you.
Freshly oiled roads are dan
gerous-drive slowly.
When approaching a fractions
